Ere yet the cloud of poignant anguish clears
The cloud that throws it's shadow down years.

attempted to address those present, but his

GETTING READY TO RUSH.
A signal had been received from the
Colonel that the thanking company was in
position and would advance to the attack
at once. The Major sent word down the
line to the company commanders to be
ready and when the attack on the flank
came to be prepared to rush their men out
of the draw and up the hill at the in
trenchments. The men each took half a
dozen cartridges out OF their belts and put
them loose in their pockets, to be more
easily and quickly seized for rapid fire,
and waited the signal to advance. In a
few minutes there was volley from the
woods on the enemy's right flank. fol-

poured in rapid fire that did great exc
cution among them. These yelling and
running Volunteers did not fire at random
or simply to make a noise. Every time a
shot was made it was at some particular
individual among the running natives,
and the shooter stopped and took deliber-
ate aim before he pulled the trigger. There
was haste in loading and in running to
secure good positions from which to shoot
but not in aiming or in pulling the trigger.
Then they stood as steady as rock or
dropped upon one knee in order to secure
steadier aim. In 10 minutes there was

It was at this time that Dobson and his
terminate sought Dut the Chaplain, who
had come in undeR escort OF the bull train,
and suggested Ito him, with much saluting
and apology fDr the suggestion, that the
delayed Easter services be held. This sug-
gestion was like mamma in the wilderness
to the Chaplain, who had prepared a
good sermon m the duty OF the United
States to the Eilfpin0s, and the high OBJ
jects and ideals of the Volunteers, who
were fighting for the moral and civil up
lifting of 1thes msn' they were trying to

courtyard of the old Spanish church in
the captured town.

A Great Invention.

John A. Stransky, of Pukwanna, s. D.,
has received patent for a new smokeless
gunpowder that will revolutionize the
powder business and make the inventor
rich. He says it can be made for seven
cents per pound, and one pound will go us
far as two pounds Of black powder, and
one and one-half Of the. best smokeless
powder. There is but slight report made
and the recoil or kick is not noticeable.
The powder Is ,smokeless, and can be made
in any kitchen.
Mr.. Stransky wants few agents to in
troduce this powder. He has agents who
are making as high as $3.50 per month.
