ST Paul Dispatch: a general order,
issued BY Lieut.. Gen. Adna r. Chaffee,

The Twenty-first will remain in the
islands two: years and three months
from the date OF it's sailing from San
Francisco and no men will be taken
except such as have that long to serve
in the army. The date of sailing Is
liable to be more than four months
from September 18th, hence the point
Of the order. +. |55;t.$ s sSE: IS .S,. !
B Enlisted men who have less than
two years and seven months to serve,
on September 18th, will have choice
OF two courses They may receive
their discharge and be Immediately
re-enlisted. for the full term of three
years, or they may choose to remain
in the service in this country. In the
latter case, they will be transferred to
other regiments. Non-commissioned
officers will not have this privilege,
however, but must go to the Philip
pines. 81 .a:& .s# 81 4. s:5. y 4 Nh
Ali enlisted men, except non-commis-
stoned officers, who have less than six
months to serve, but do not wish to re-
enlist, will be discharged from service.
In order to fill up vacancies In the
Twenty-frst regiment, caused by this
order, enlisted men OF the Twenty
eighth infantry yet 20 serve, may be
transferred to the Twenty -first. Il
In the same way those Of the Tween
ty-frst who remain behind. but still in
the service, will 4be transferred to the
Twenty eighth or to other regiments.
The TWenty-eighth will come to
Fort Smelling to take the place or the
Twenty first, when that regiment
leaves the fort early In October.

THE COLLECTION AND PREsER
I WALTON OF WELL, RECORDS. 4

~
U The United States Geological Survey
has recently perfected plans for the
systematic collection and preservation
Iof well records and samples. The
demand for information regarding
wells has become so great that the
survey had decided to issue an annual
publication containing brief account
of the wells bored each year. This
report will be published as near the
beginning of the year as practicable,
and wild be sent to all those who apply
for it. It will contain the names and
addresses Of persons doing well work
and will summarize well work done by
them in the preceding year. " g. III
In order tn obtain data for such a
year book, the survey wishes to make
arrangements with well drillers and
we'll owners to send samples and
records to the surveys headquarters
in Washington, D. G. On receipt Of
names OF persons willing to save sam
pies Of well borings the survey will at
once send them supplies OF canvas
bags in which they may transmit
them through the mails without pay
ing postage. As these samples may
be sent as often as the drillers visit
the postofdce, there is no danger that
they will accumulate and become
burdensome. For the keeping OF a
Log a convenient pocket memorandum
book will also be provided.
It is hoped that the drillers and well
owners Of the country will appreciate
the Importance OF the surveys effort
and will cooperate SO heartily as to
assure its complete success. It should
appeal to them for several reasons.
First Their names and work will
be kept before q class of readers inter-
}ested in we1l drilling. $@ +:
Second. Records OF their work will
be carefully filed In the office OF the
survey, as will be readily available
to them at any time, SO that in case
their notes are lost they can be duph-
Gated. 3z. j: Il Ri sl5 3S t...d+8

THE CROP OF THE NORTHWEST.

THE CROP OF THE NORTHWEST.
The harvest will be completed with
in ten days. In a large part Of the
northwest it is already finished. The
grain is stacked and the thresher is
at work telling Of the yield: It is not
telling a different story than was an
ticipated q month ago. There will be
considerable less wheat raised in Min
nesota and the Dakotas. of marketable
value than was produced last year,
but, except in individual cases. the
farmers will suffer little from this
shortage, says the crop expert Of the
St. Paul Dispatch. Other grains were
unaffected by, the rust. Indeed, the
yield of other small grain is up to, II
not above the average. The shortage
in the wheat crop Of Europe and
decrease in the yield in the southwest
ern states, will undoubtedly force q
high price for the present wheat crop,
and the farmers of the northwest will
likely rea1iza az mnch money On tho
aggregate crop as they would have
done had the yield been large and the

MEMORIES OF THE PAST.
J. v D. S. Merrill Writes of a Late Honorsd
Citizen, Mr. Shurtlsh

Editor the Banner:-It seems not so
very long ago since we enjoyed by in
vitation of friend our first glass of
soda water in the attractive drug store
of Serene Peck in Bennington village
yet over forty-five years have passed
since then and with their passing
whole households, in many instances,
have been effaced. The scrupulously
neat kept store, the old fashioned futed
glasses of ample measure which held
the refreshing beverage on tnat far
away summer afternoon, the kindly
face of my generous beuefactor are all
fresh before me as | write. Mr. Peck's
business career was short for he early
in life succumbed to that dreaded NAL
ady consumption.
John T. ShurtleiT succeeded Mr. Peck
in the drug business and for over four
decades he toiled and prospered in the
same old store in Adams block store
well remembered by legions of Ben
ningtonians scattered throughout the
country. The death of John T. Shurt-
left is loss to the town in many ways.
He was not only a shrewed and sue
cessful business man, ever honorable
in his dealings, but he was a safe and
trusted counsellor. One of the most
delightful of companions, loyal in his
friendship, skilful as druggist and
versed in the science of medicine, it is
not strange that for years his was the
leading store of its kind in Southern
Vermont
Since the falling of autumn lea YES
the silent messenger has been busy in
our town. One after another in quick
succession have responded to his sum
mons and sad to contemplate is the
thought of so many who today "sigh
for the touch of a vanished hand and
the sound of a voice which is still"

ALEX LUNDQUIST CASE
Hearing Yesterday in the Recent
Notorious Rutland Assault
Matter.
ALEX LUNDQUIST CASE

Rutland April %. A serious condi-
tion of affairs in Rutland is revealed
by the report today of Patrolman ] ohm
p. Clifford, who has been at work
for the past week trying to apprehend
The assailants of Alex Lundquist, the
Swede who nearly lost his life in front
of the city ball at the hands Of four
unknown men a week ago.
Mr. Clifford has succeeded in finding
several persons whom he Is certain
were eye-witnesses of the assault, bu :,
not one Of them is willing to admit
that such was the case, or go into
court and testify against the assailants
il the latter should be arrested.
Those who saw the attempt at mur-
der seem to be in moral fear of the
vengeance of the gang who made the
assault, and do not dare to inform
against them, and for this reason it
now looks likely that the outrage will
have to go unpunished.
The leading union men of the city
regret exceedingly the occurrence, mas
much as the odium OF the deed is gem
orally placed on the unions. The
union had probably nothing to do
with the assault, although it may have
been committed by i'll advised sym
pathizers.
Lundquist is now recovering from
the effects of the assault and it is be-
lieved that when his head is entirely
clear be may be able to give some de-
scription of his assailants which will
aid in their apprehension.
