VOLUNTEERS HEARD FROM.
For a week or ten days the public
has leen sickened by the inventions
and falsehoods of sensational corre
spondents and yellow journals as to
army conditions. Changes have been
rung on stories of starvation, ex
posure, and suffering, and the public
has been forced to read such trans
parent exaggerations as vrere never
before foisted on a sorely tried peo
ple. Now we are hearing from the
soldiers themselves. Colonel Young
of the First Illinois cavalry, well
known in Chicago, better known the
country over than any yellow corre
spondent, declares that every pro
vision possible was made for the care
of the soldiers, every precaution was
taken to guard against disease. There
was no danger from the water at
Cbickamauga, for it was of excellent
quality, and he says emphatically
that the men of the Orst cavalry have
nothing to regret save that they did
not get into active service.
Captain Thomas S. Quincy, also
well known in Chicago, declares that
the rations issued by the government
at Camp Thomas were all that any
reasonable man could ask for, both as
regards quality and quantity'. For
the last five weeks he messed with
his men, eating the same food that
they ate. As to hospital facilities at
Chickamaugii, Captain Quincey states
that the men had the best care that it
was possible to give them. Scores
of physicians go on record to show
that the stories of starvation are
fabrications based on the necessary
restrictions of physicians or on the
inevitable condition of fever patients.
All dispatches from Montauk Point
on the arrival of the First Illinois in
fantry report the regiment in good
condition ard as having been well
cared for on the trip from Cuba. No
complaint comes from this regiment
that has seen extraordinary hard ser
vice at the front.
The stories of the soldiers them
selves put to shame all the miserable
fabrications of the s ellow journals.
The exaggeration of the inevitable
ills of camp life was based on the be
lief that it would be approved by the
soldiers themselves. This idea was
contrary to all the principles on
which soldier character is built up.
The volunteers, so eager to go, so
patient under discipline and exposure,
cannot be put in a false light by the
slanderers of the army and of the
government. The hardships of army
life have not broken the spirit or
weakened the loyalty of the volun
teers. They are now talking for
themselves. Inter Ocean.
WAR HUMOR AT SANTIAGO.
Capt. Evans is responsible for a
choice bit of sailor humor which de
serves to be rescued for history be
fore it is lost in some dusty pigeon
hole in the navy department.
On the day after the destruction
of Cervera's ships the Spanish war
ship Reina Mercedes was discovered
in the Santiago harbor channel, evi
dently intending to finish what Hob
son with the Merrimac had begun.
Then Capt. Evans signalled from the
Iowa: "The Spaniards are trying to
sink a ship to block the channel.
They need help."
Even the business-like Jacky who
was fastening the signal flags to the
halyards must have laughed as the
captain ordered the letters which
spelled out the last three words.
Of course a fleet officered by
Americans was not slow to act on the
piece of grim humor, and a minute
after the signal was hoisted the Iowa,
Massachusetts, Texas and Vesuvius
were giving the Reina Mercedes all
the "help" she needed. Their shot
and shell sank her before she reached
her intended berth in the narrowest
part of the channel, and left the way
into the harbor open to our ships.
Britanna will cut down its navy
one-half if every other nation will
dispense with an equal number of
war-ships. England would then have
300 and the rest none, which would
certainly prevent any more sea fights.
Manila's inhabitants would be
sorry to hear that Old Glory is not to
Hy over the whole group. They
have had strife enough, and are ready
to welcome an era of stable govern
ment and business opportunity.
The lugubrious sensationalist is
the meanest of his class. His busi
ness is to exaggerate the number and
condition of the army sick, to make
the well soldiers sick if he can and
their relatives miserable.
.Notice to Delinquent Taxpayers.
The delinqent taxes of Waaco county,
as shown on th6 rolls now in the hands
of the sheriff are $60,000. an amount al
most equal to the indebtedness of the
county. Every citizen will doubtless
admit that this state of affairs should
not exiet, and that all taxes should be
collected. On account of hard times
in the past the county court Las Blown
leniency to taxpayers, but that leniency
has reached the limit, and the court
cannot wait longer on delinquents to
make settlements. For this reason a
warrant has been attached to each de
linquent roll commanding the sheriff to
collect all taxes by seizure and sale of
properly. With a bountiful crop now
in sight, there can no longer be any rea
eonable excuse for the non-payment of
taxes. The sheriff is bound by oath to
comply with the terms of the warrants
attached to the tax rolls for the collec
tion thereof, and has no option in the
matter. Delinquent taxpayers can save
the cost of seizure and sale of property
by settling their taxes at once.

Sheriff and Tax Collector for Wasco
County.

Deafness Cannot De.Carert
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars; free.

A CRITICAL TIME
During the Battle at
Santiago.
SICK OR WELL, A RUSH
NIGHT AND DAY.
The Packers at the Battle of Santiago de
Cuba Were all Heroes Their Heroic
Efforts in Getting; Ammunition and
Rations to the Front Saved the Day.
P. E. Butler, of pack-train No. 3,
writing from Sandiago, De Cuba, on
July 23d, says: "We all had diarrhoea
in more or less violent form, and when
we landed we had no time to see a
doctor, for it was a case of rush and rush
night and day to keep the troops sup
plied with ammunition and rations, but
thanks to Chamberl iin'a Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy, we were able to
keep at work and keep our health ; in
fact, I sincerely believe that at one
criti.-ral time this medicine was the in
direct saviour if our artn3', for if the
packers bad been unable to work there
would have been no way of getting sup
plies to the front. There were no roads
that a wagon train could use. My com
rad and myeelf had the good fortune to
lay in a supply of this medicine for oui
peck-train before we left Tampa, and I
know in four cases it absolutely saved
life."
