Goats Milk Tor Consumption.

An Arizona man is so positive
that goats milk is sure cure for
consumption that he will establish
mammoth goat camp IN the Mo-
goIlon Mountains. Two years ago
this man who is Robert William OF
Phoenix, went to that place con-
6rmed consumptive, bought small
goat ranch and on constant diet
OF goat milk gradually regsined
his health aud has nearly doubled
in weight IN two years.-Galveston
News.
Goats milk is very rich and
nourishing and is considered an
excellent food for cOnsumpiiveS,
but no doubt the climate IN the
Arizona mountains and tlR ont
door life of a goat camp had as
much to do with the cure as the
milk. Sunshine and pure air, with
nourishing food, are the best rem
edies for the dread white plague.

REPORT has it that the Arkansas
Pass railroad will be extended
from Alice to Rio Grande City. II
is hard to believe that the company
will give Brownsville the cold
shoulder, when the great rice de-
velopment in this region is sure TO
provide thousands OF carloads of
freight annually. Next year will
show such an immense output OF
marketable commodities and such
an increased importation OF ma
chinery and implements, to say
nothing of theIinhuX Of homeseek-
ers with their household goods, and
such an increase of all sorts OF
traffic, as to necessitate the imme'
diate solution of the transportation
question for Brownsville. Ii Is
not likely that the Southern Pacific
will overlook this point when seek
ing a short cut into Mexico.

Heart
Beats

that are too fast or too slow,
too strong or too weak, are not
the kind that come from a
healthy heart. Remember,
every heart that pains, hutters,
palpitates, skips beats, and
every heart that causes fainting
spells, shortness of breath or
smothering, is weak or diseased,
and cannot keep the blood cir
rulating at its normal rate.
"My heart was very weak and
kept skipping beats until It
missed from one TO three beats a
minute. Well knowing what
the result would be il this trouble
was not stopped, / began taking
DR. Miles Heart Cure, and two
bottles brought the heart action
to its normal condition."

NO BIDS FOR KANSAS
CITY POSTOFFICE
Government Experiencing Difficulty in
Disposing of Property-0ne
Tentative Offer.

The Treasury Department is expert
encing considerable difficulty in dispos-
ing OF the Kansas City postoflice prop
erty. The only bid thus far received is
for $3.50. 600, and the officials do not feel
certain the proposal is backed by casa.
On August 25 bids were to have
been received for the sale of the prop
erty. but not single buyer came for
ward with an offer. A few days ago the
Supervising Architect, Mr.. j. Knox
Taylor, received note from John Cald-
well Williams, Kansas City architect,
asking If the Government would sell the
property for S260C00 cash. Mr. Taylor
replied that such an offer would be con
sidered IL the money was Forthcoming.
Since then MIR. Williams has not been
heard from, and the authorities are be-
ginning TO think that he has either
changed his mind or has been unable to
raise the money.

Evidences of preparations of Wash.

"As at the previous encampment, when
the reunion committee had the priyt-
lege of occupying this ground for the
same purpose, we will take the utmost
care to preserve the lawn in its pres
ent beautiful condition. At that time,
it will be remembered, We were COM

that time had the honor to be chairman

We we're extremely careful to preserve
the lawn, and at the least sign OF wear

There will be flagstaff in the center

for erecting these will constitute all the

WAR GAME VICTOR NOT
TO Be NAMED JUST YET
Arbitration Board Awaits Re-
ports of Umpires.
Award of Palm to Army Is Anticipated,
With Qualification That Forts
Were Badly Damaged.

The War Department has been in
formed. by telegram from Brigadier Cen
eral Bliss that the board of arbitration
of the joint army and navy maneuvers
has adjourned to meet again at the call
of its president, and that the next
meeting may not be held until about oc-
tober /.
Up to this time it has been impossible
for the board to come to any conclusion
as to the result of the joint maneuvers.
Reports have to be made by the many
army and navy officers who acted as UNI
pires on board the various vessels en-
gagged and at the Notifications guarding
Long Island Sound. Necessarily, it is
said at the War and Navy Departments,
1t will take these umpires some weeks to
prepare the reports upon which will be
based the final findings.
Anticipate Award to Army.
The board of arbitration, which will
award the victory to either the army or
the navy, consists of Rear Admiral
Luce, president; Admiral Cooper, and
Captain Swift, for the navy; Brigadier
General Bliss and Colonel Story, for the
army. officers of the two branches hard
ly expect that final decision will be
rendered before November 1, The many
technical points to be taken into con-
sideration make the work of the board
exceedingly trying.
The feeling in army and navy circles
is that the victory will be given the
army. but with the qualification that the
lavy rendered serious damage to all of
he forts engaged. 1t will probably be
held by the board that Fort Wright was

Makes Novel Suggestion.
Matthias Cuddy, formerly OF Company
8. Seventy-third New York Volunteers,
has written Chairman Warner TO say:
Let me suggest one idea which would
be novel to the generations which have
grown up since the year 1861, and that
is to have four men dressed up in the
style Of uniforms worn by their regi-
ments of that time. There were such
varieties of uniforms worn that a minis-
ture regiment composed of men wearing
different uniforms would be new fes,
ture.
another suggestion is that all mofn-
ers who are alive who sent sons to the
front be given free transportation to
Washington, and, that carriages be fur
nished for them to take part In the
procession. II the suggestions were ex-
tended to include wives who sent their
husbands to the war, there might be
too many, but they might form body
by themselves at their own expense.
