That in last issue of the Common
wealth a little unfinished article con-
corning Lieut.. 3. kossman got into the
paper in some unknown manner? The
paragraph was merely a memorandum,
and was not what we wished to say. 1t
is we'll known fact that Kossman was
all though the Cuban campaign, and
fought SO heroically at San Juan hill
that he was given Lieutentancy.
The Lieutenant also went through that
trying Philippine campaign, and was
promoted from the Valunteer service to
the regular service of the army, and was,
appointed to a most important post in
the Islands, which position he filled with
honor to himself and great benefit to
the Government. 1t is said by those
who know that there never was braver
soldier, or one more cool under the
fire of the Spaniards, than
was Lieutenant Kossman. The Com
like every other patriotic
always has warm place in
its affections for every true man who
goes to the front in time of war.

ems, for suits Or trousers, is
