Sometimes 1t would beat fast, and
at other times very slowly, SO that I

pain.
Il had no idea Of what the trouble
was until friend suggested that per-
haps it might be coffee drinking. I
tried leaving Off the coffee and began
drinking Postum. The change came
quickly. I am glad to say that am
now entirely free from heart trouble
and attribute the relief to leaving OF
coffee and the use of Postum.

The County Democratic Committee
has not been elected since the straight

ago, electing members of the Leglsla-

present controversy.
The straightouts have been making
the fight for years. and they have at
last won. There are this time two
candidates for the State Senate-W E.
G. Corbitt. who is seeking reelection
and H. L. Alexander, the candidate
of the fusion element.
It is understood to be the intention
of Mr.. Alexander to 90 to the courts
and seek to restrain the stralghtouts
from holding primary, and thus to
throw the control into the election OF
November next, at which time the Re-
nublican and negro's will vote for Al

the straightouts.

G. A. R. ARRANGEMENTS
Plans Completed for Encampment III
Washington.

Final arrangements lot lhe reeep
tion and entertainment OF the ural'o
ARMY veterans at their 49th Annual
Encampment in Washington during
the week of September 9th have no"
been completed TO correct any I'M
preston which might be gained by the
association of ideas, it should be stat
ed that the Encampment is not TO De
tented affair. The reunion Will not
be held under canvas as has been the
case with these affairs in many cities.
Instead, the Washington Citizens
Committee has provided, for the use
of the veterans, building adequately
adapted for the purposes of the En-
campment and having, with the ex-
ception of the Capitol itself, the larg
est ground floor space of any struc-
ture in the city. This building is
the one in which the last Cen
sus was compiled and stands
on First street, adjoining the Capitol
Plaza. The main floor is divided into
two mammoth auditoriums in one OF
which the big reception ON Tuesday
night and the regular business session
of the Encampment will be held. The
other has been set aside for camp-fires
and the dog-watch Of the naval vet
erans. On the floor above, there is
row of twenty or more rooms wherein
the various corps and departments
will have their Individual headquarters
throughout the reunion. Rooms have
also been assigned to be used as head
quarters by the military and semimil!-
tary organizations allied with the
Grand Army, so that all of the pro-
ceedings held in connection with the
Encampment will be under one roof.
A feature of the arrangements rev.
er heretofore provided will be branch
Post-Ohice established in the Encamp-
ment Building to which will be assign
ed by the Postmaster of Washington.
q force Of clerks VINO will handle all
incoming and outgoing mail for the
veterans, and all correspondence in
tended for the visitors should he ad-
dressed TO the Encampment Head
mlarters. Restroom, restaurant, hos
1pital and other appointments and
equipments necessary for the comfort
and convenience Of the old soldiers
have been installed in the building.
The interior of the structure has
been made TO present most attrac-
tive appearance by force of decora-
tors which the Washington Committee
has brought from New York to give
IN artistic touch to the Encampment.
At this writing, the Weather Bu-
reau officials, Judging the future by
the past have given it as their opin-
ion that ideal climatic conditions will
prevail in Washington during En-
campment Week. and in view of all
the preparations and arrangements
which have been made, this is all
that is needed to make the forthcOnl-
ing Encampment, he most memorable
one in the history of the Grand Army.

pierce the Russian lines.
The official statement from the war
office early today emphasized the fact
that the fighting around Wilma is the
greatest struggle now going on along
the Baltic Galicia battle line.
1t is not improbable that the Car

within few days if the enemy's at
tacks threaten the development of the
armies in that region.
German successes in this fighting
and in the region southeast Of Orany
are Offset by Russian victories in the
southeast On front extending from
the region Of DeranZo to Trembowla,
the troops of General Ivanoff have
captured about $500 prisoners and
have occupied three villages, the Aus
tro-Germans at sorle points fleeing
in disorder.
The official statement reporting the
beginning of violent fighting on the
left bank Of the Villa, near Wilma,
adds significantly that the battle "iS
likely to develop ere long between the
railway districts of Wilma, Novosient-
siany, Molodechno, and Vileika." In
the region of Lakes Medziol, Naroch,
and Swir, cavalry fighting is occur
ring on /. wide front.
Southeast of Oranj, the German at
tempts to advance on the Vilna-Lida
railway have been repulsed with heavy
enemy losses. 1t is admitted, however,
that the enemy occupied the village of
Radiouny, south of Datishki, after
stubborn fighting Another German
detachment cast of Grodno crossed the
Shtshara river and occupied the Will
age of Shara.
"In renewed fighting for the pos
session Of Derazno, we drove the
enemy from the outskirts" said the
official statement ENEMY forces re-
treated upon the village Of Ruda Kras
movie, which was stormed and captur-
ed by Russian troops, who took 1000
prisoners and four Maxims.
"Near the frontiee village of Con-
iowa. we counter-attacked successfully
taking twelve officers, $40 men, and
three MaximS. In the Strya river re-
gion, north of BucZacz, we captured
fourteen officers and 500 men. North
east Of Buczacz we occupied the vilf-
age of Jancwka and Pielawa, the en-
emy fleeing in disorder"
The German cavalry is driving for
the railway between MOlodechno and
