MANY HEROIC
ACTS UNNOTICED
How a Kentacky Clay Received and
Bore a Wound. The Remarkable
Coolness and Courage of Captain
Gregg, of the Fourth Infantry.
Manila, April 2, via San Francisco,
May 9. Instances of personal bravery
have been quite as numerous in tbe
American, army in tbe Philippines as
daring the Cuban campaign, but the
correspondents have not bad the same
opportunity to chronicle these deeds of
daring in the Orient, because .owing to
the thickness of the country penetrated.
many heroic acta were unseen and un
heard oi for days after their occurrence.
. One soldier who has well illustrated
the quality of the American army is
Captain Charles Clay, of -the Seven
teenth infantry. Captain Clay is a
native of Lexington, Ky., and a grand
sou of Henry Clay. He brought new
honors to tbe family name in Cuba,
where during the hottest action of the
Santiago field, when his men were lying
behind cover for a shelter from a shower
of ballets, he marched back and forth in
front of his company as erect and -cool
as though on dress parade, nor would he
yield to the appeals of the men that he
find shelter. "The captain never forgot
for a second that he was a Clay," one of
them explained.
When Captain Hale was aesigned to a
brigade in the Philippines he appointed
Clay to the position of adjutant. On
the first day of MacArtbur's advance,
Captain Clay, riding erect, as usual, re'
ceived a bullet through his neck. He
lay six hours in the jungle before he was
discovered, and as the wound was a
dangerous one at best, his life was
despaired of. His only thought when
he was brought into the hospital was
that his family should be informed that
he was bnt slightly injured.- He is now,
however, well on the road to complete
recovery. -
Among those officers who have fallen
no one will be longer or more loyally
remembered by bis comrades than
Lieutenant Gregg, of the Fourth in
fantry. No man in the army had more
than he to make life worth living, for he
had friends, success in hia profession
and a vitality and physical strength that
made him tbe impersonation of the
athlete and soldier. His fearlessness
and confidence in his powers contributed
to his death. In the beginning of the
hot fight at Mariquina, which General
Hall conducted with such skill and sue
cess that it was worthy of more attention
than the overshadowing importance of
MacArtbur's advance permitted, Gregg
was near his chief. The horse he rode
had jaBt been shot under him. He was
taking off the saddle when a man warned
. him that the shot had been fired br
sharpshooter in a tree near by. Befus
mg to take cover, as most of the men
- were doing, tbe lieutenant stepped for
ward, and standing erect, uncased his
field glasses to look at the tree. Just as
he raised them to his eyes a puff of
smoke was seen in the tree, Gregg put
his hand to his breast and fell forward
killed instantly.

to go to work and was under the care of
physician. He left a letter to the
coroner, and one to his friend, General
Manager McCabe, of the W. & C. R. K.
The letter to the coroner stated that an
inquest was unnecessary and it was sim
ply a case of "too much politics and
bad luck." The letter to McCabe was a
lengthy one and among other things
Eaid :
"I don't know why I am going to do
if; I must be crazy, but it is the only
way out of it." He enclosed a roll of
greenbacks which he requested be sent
to hia wife.
Goodin was a man of temperate habits,
well educated and of refined tastes? He
leaves a wife and three children in
Minneapolis; also a brother in business
in Minneapolis or St. Paul. The body
will be shipped to the family for inter
ment.

An Epidemic tif Whooplnf Cough,
Last winter during an epidemic of
whooping cough my children contracted

time and found it relieved the cough
and effected a complete cure. John E.

. : ."" plovers.
Wafmjie, Idaho, May 9. The pro
clamation given to the press last night
was formally issued today with some
m edifications by Governor Sleunenberg's
representative, State Auditor Sinclair,
with the approval of General Merriam.
- This is tbe most radical blow yet aimed
at the criminal organizations of this re
gion, and all loyal citizens are hopeful
that it will prove an absolute remedy.
It is directed to the mineowners of this
county, and denies their employment of
men belonging to organizations proven to
to be criminal during tbe continuance of
martial law. J
All miners applying for work will be
required to get a permit from tbe state,
first denying their participation in the
recent riots, and secondly denouncing
membership of any society which has
approyed of said riots. Mineowners
refusing to comply with those conditions
will be required to close down their
mines.
The state is building a pen 150 by 120
feet in size, with four rows of bunks
aronnd it. " ".
The inquest is still progressing, and
may last several weeks yet. '
DlacoTered by a Woman. .
Another great discovery has been
made, and that too, by a lady in this
country. "Disease fastened its clutches
upon her and for seven years she with
stood its severest teets, but her vital
organs were undertermined and death
seemed imminent. For three months
she coughed incessantly, and could not
s'e;p. She'finally discovered a way to
recovery, by purchasing of us a bottle of
Dr. King's New Discovery for Consump
tion, and was so much relieved on taking
first dose, that she slept all night; and
with two bottles, has been absolutely
cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz."

say tomorrow:
"According to a high official of tbe
Vanderbilt lines in this city, the details
ot a big railroad trust, wbich is to in
clude all the lines between Boston and
Chicago, are now being worked out and
the - consolidation may be completed
within tbe next few weeks.- The recent
purchase of short lines in New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois
was in line with the plans for the con
solidation which has been in contempla
tion. It is not the purpose to haye all
the lines under one management exactly,
but to apportion them among the Penn
sylvania company, the Vanderbilt in
terests and tbe Baltimore & Ohio Com
pany, when it shall have been reorgan
ized, giving to each system the lines it
can use to the best advantage.
Those who have , been watching the
changes in the railroad world do not
doubt that it will be carried through
successfully. The purpose of tbe con
solidation is said to be to prevent rate-
cutting and to accomplish practically
what the Joint Traffic Association was
organized to do.". .
The Beit In the World.
We believe Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is the best in the world. ' A few
week b ago we suffered with a severe cold
and a troublesome cough, and having
read their advertisements in our own
and other papers we purchased a
bottle to see if it would effect us. It
cured us before the bottle was more than
half used. It is tbe beBt medicine out
for colds and coughs. The Herald,

There is a young coed at the Univer

.ot of thinking lately. Ever since her
lebut in the Midway school she has
Deen one of the most popular girls at
the institution, but unfortunately for
herself and several ardent admirers, she
rsontracted a coquettish' manner, which
caused untold jealousy on the campus.
Several Of the boys got together one
old afternoon a few days ago and be
fore long the conversation turned to
the charming young woman in ques
tion. Then and there a scheme of re
venge was decided upon by the six. It
was in effect that all go and call on the
lady the samo evening, entering 15 min
utes apart, and to regard one another
is perfect strangers as well as inter
lopers. One of the six uescribed.the
event as.follows:
"It was a villainous thing to do, but
the girl is somewhat of a joker herself.,
and we all had an old score to pay off.
We carried out the idea to perfection,
t was the-first to call and the girl said
she was glad to see me. Before she had
time to say anything else another
young man was ushered in. She was
glad to see him, too. But when the
third young man arrived she was some
what confused and stammered a little
over her welcome.
