QUEER SCENES OF WARFARE
Large Part Of Battle of Monterey, In
the Mexican War, Was Fought
Indoors.

At the battle OF Monterey. in the
Mexican war. our troops were able to
command the streets OF the city with
their artillery, but they experienced
much difficulty in driving the Mexi-
cans from their houses. Accordingly,
as the city was built Of stone or adobe,
the Americans broke through the walls
from one house to another. fighting
and driving out the enemy as they
proceeded Thus it appears, says an
exchange, the battle OF Monterey was
largely fought indoors

back on the Ice to attack the Span
iards. This is probably the only battle
of record where cavalry was employed
directly against a naval force.
There have been battles fought un.

fierce encounter pertaining to the siege
of HARLEM in the Dutch wars. The

During the present war. the aero
plane has proved very useful in scout
ing: indeed, the heavier-than-air ma
chine is generally admitted to be su-
perior to the airship for spying out
the position OF the enemy. The aero
plane is less conspicuous; II is faster;
It makes a smaller target; It costs al
most nothing to make in comparison
with a dirigible balloon. and it can
fly at higher altitude. Sir John
French pays a high tribute TO the aero
plane scouts in one Of his interesting
reports on the campaign in France.
One of the features of the campaign
on our side has been the success of
the ROYAL Flying corps. In regard to
the collection of information, II is i'm
possible to award too much praise to
our aviators for the way they have
carried out their duties, or to over
estimate the value of the intelligence
collected, more especially during the
recent advances" For the 20 days

noissances a day of over a hundred

such widespread attention in the East,

to the vast crowd his theories on health

demonstration of his celebrated prepare

Producing in the larger American cities.
In connection with his visit to Ken

ton OF the country the same benefits of

Cooper then exhibited a handsomely
engraved gold watch, studded with
forty-seven perfectly cut diamonds,

last Monday night. The new law
affects every person in the country
who handles drugs in any form for
any purpose, wholesalers, druggists,

onment or fine, or both for any
person who sells or gives away hab-
Informing drugs without the In
structions of a physician. Every
physician, surgeon, dentist, druggist,
or veterinary surgeon, who dispens-
es, imports or produces opium, coca
leaves, salts, the derivatives or prep
arations, such as morphine, coacine,
or heroin" comes under the govern
ment supervision. These people
must register with the internal reve-
nue. department, and physicians and
dispensers must keep a record of
sales and prescriptions.

WRECK ON NORTHERN

Thirteen cars in Cincinnati North
ern north bound through freight No.
62, in charge of Conductor Otto Tes-
ter and Engineer r. j. Finch, were
ditched Sunday evening, at point
about one mile south of Ohio City,
the result of a broken axle on the
seventh car back of the locomotive.
The cars, loaded with coal, gravel
and merchandise were strewn over
the right-of-way for several hundred
feet and the main track so badly
blockaded that traffic on Monday had
to be detoured by way of the Glover
Leaf to Spenceryille, thence to this
city over the c., H. & d. None of
the trainmen were injured and to
their surprise, after the cars had left
the rails, tramp emerged from an
empty box car that had toppled over,
and hoofed it off down the track.
Seemingly he came out uninjured.
