St. Cloud.

The town well at st. Cloud has been
completed. The boring reached depth
of 911 feet, where plentiful supply
of the best kind of water was obtained
At first it seemed to nave smell and
taste of sulphur but this disappeared
and everyone pronounces it now as pure
and tasteful water as can be found any
where. All the pumps were at work
for two days last week. In the first
hour they lowered the water foot, but
after that could not make any percepti-
BILE change, no matter how much they
took out.
There are now probably between
1000 and $500 people in the town,
many having gone back to their North
ern homes to return in the Autumn,
bringing recruits. 1t is expected that
the return rush will begin early in Au-
gust and bring several thousand people
as permanent settlers before the end of
the year. The beautiful little hotel is
completed and the furniture in it. The

irving at present can be easily taken
care of by the present Accommodations.
The streets have been cleaned and
graded and the town has taken on a
very up-to-dat and citified appearance.
Building is going on with unabated in
dustry and the buildings now under
construction are generally of better
class and much more expensive. Every
one feels assured of the great success
of the settlement and much more dis
posed to make extensive and costly i'm
provements. The weather down there
during the past week has been a de-
lightful contrast to the raging heat in
the North. Every night a blanket was
found very comfortable on the bed.
This news is confirmed by the following

The Volunteer Officers Bill.

Charles n. Swift. 2465 Broadway, New
York, N. Y, says that he carried a
muSket for two years. and knows what
the life of a private soldier was. He
was an officer for one year, and knows
what his life was. Veterans must know
that officers were essential, and that
without them all would have been
chaos. With them came order, disci-
pline and Indictment to courage There
fore, railing against the officer is folly
in fact silly. Statistics show that the
number of officers killed was very much
greater than of the enlisted men. The
officer had to expose himself and be an
object-lesson The officers pay was
greater, but he had to pay for his ra-
tions, his clothing and equipment. He
endured the same hardships, enjoyed
the same honors and fought the same
battles. Why, then, deny him what as
sistance the bill gives?
e. Bole, Stratten, Neb., thinks that
the Townsend-Warner bill is very un-
just. 1t is now too late for any special
bills for any class. There has been too
much discrimination in pension legis-
lation, especially against those who like
himself served all the way from one to
three years, and went thru all that war
calls for. He went thru the bloody bat
ties and the still more dangerous hard
ships and strains in prison, fighting with
disease, which carried off three men to
every one killed in battle.
L. C. Smith, 18th Ind. Cav, Pierce
ton, Ind, notices a number of enlisted
men as well as several newspapers kick
ing against the passage of the officers
retirement bill. They seem to see only
their own side of the proposition. He
was one who enlisted as private, but
the authorities saw fit to change that,
and put him to the expense of over
5000 for an outfit, beside keeping up his
expenses after. He lost two horses and
over 22 years pension, and at no time
could see where he was in any less
danger than the enlisted men. He now
draws only half as much pension as
many enlisted men, and less than that
of go per cent of the enlisted men. He
knows of no officer in his regiment that
came out ahead at the close of the war.
When he sent in his final statement the
Department claimed that he owed for
one currycomb, so he lost out on that.
If the facts We're known the enlisted
men have been treated much better by
the Government than the officers. He
thinks with Comrade James, of Florida,
and others that there was as much in
justice to the officers as to the enlisted
men. He wants the comrades to stop
kicking, because a good soldier deserves
all that he can get

Editor National Tribune: In your is
sue June 1 saw an account of the Re-
union of the old ed N. Y. and that it
was raised in New York City and left
there in May, 1861, for the front. Now,
please correct that. The I'd N. Y. was
raised in Troy. and sworn into the SER
vice of the United States, and left that
city May Is, 1861, for the front. 1t was
a two-year regiment. 1t served its time
out, and was discharged at Troy. A
great many of its members re-entered
the service and stayed until the close
of the war. The rest of the notice is
all correct about the election of the
officers of the resimental organization.

any pomp and ceremony, but give our
friends who have always stood by us a
jolly good time.--Wm. III. Wells, Presi-
