K * ; MP* A special dispatch to the Inter Ocean from Springfield, under date of Nov. 25th, says: "Captain Wainwright stated unofficially to-day that the Third Illinois Volunteer Infantry will not be mustered out, but will be retained in the service uneil the regular army has been reorganized, ttP"3ecretary Long will reccommend the construction of thirteen battleships in his forthcoming report to Congress. It anything should happen to this fleet the "yellow press" fallows and their ilk that have no newspapers will point with pride to the superstition that 18 is an vnlacky number. f i^FLatest dispatches confirm the press report that the Spanish commissioners have agreed to the Americans proposi­ tions concerning the"Philippines and that the Treaty of Peace will be drawn up and signed in a few days. 'Tie well. Had Spain come to her senses some time •go her humiliation wonld not have been so great. M^Thoee mugwumps who are dis. turbed over the unanimity of popular sen timent in favor of territorial expansion will experience difficulty in findii>g any other country in which their ideas pre­ vail, in case they decide to change their place of abode, unless they go to Spain. That nation is not troubled just at pres ent over any proposition looking to ter­ ritorial expansion. MP" Hon. George Kirk died at his home, in Waukegan, on Saturday. Nov. 19th, aged 74 years. He had been slightly troubled with heart disease, but his condition had not been considered aerious, as he kept around and was con­ versing with a member of the household leas than five minutes before he expired, llr. Kirk was at one time State Senator from this, the 8th Senatorial District. NJSWORAND ARMT. Ths Rev. Frank C.

The heroes of 1898 were made up of not a few noble men. It was an army of extraordfnary intelli­ gence. It had a large representation of the common classes. In character it was a symmetrical army. Its patri­ otism wa* of the most intelligent kind. It was more cosmopolitan than that of the soldiers of 186 L. The old comrade in blae had a love which beat intensely countryward, while the new boy in blue bad a country love which spiiled over the rim of his glowing sbul and beat on the full gallop world ward. Their sphere of activity reached beyond the seas, while that of men who won at Shiloh and Gettysburg was for the enslaved at home. "The new brare hoys had an inspir­ ation which launched them worldward, for alt the tired bondmen of earth. They were a fearless army. They saw na­ tions emerging from centuries of night by thtir valor and march through the morning of heaven on the golden hilltop of end lege noon. They were made up of one of most united and liberty-loving nations in the world. They were the off spring of the best military blood that ever throbbed in the heart of man. They tingled in their veins the rich, ripe blood of the noble Huguenot of the Southland, and that of the sturdy old New Engend­ ers. Their cause they were assured was God-born. It was an event in the hie- tory of the race, whep Jehovah sent a sword instead of peace. "Infidelity rounds fie idea of a war- god, bat admits the fact of the redemp­ tion of the rac« as a result of the Spanish and American war. If anything brought our Nation iato distinction in humanity's uplifting it was the march ot the new boys in blue to the emancipa­ tion of enchained Caba, which, became a key to unlock the Iron doors beyond, that all the tired world might be free. "War demonstrated the potency of American creations. It brought at once above the horizon the sun of our great < nees, and gave a ne* day to the history the world in inventive genius.

"l " 'Word has been received here of the death from sunstroke, at San Juan, Porto Rico, of Geo. S. Willits, a well known Chicago financier. He went to Porto Rico last July to investigate in tie interest of Chicago capitalists, the railroads and other enterprises of that country. He was prominent in politics •ad was a golfer of some note. He was 41 years old. " Mr. Willits came into prominence in Hwkte politics several years ago and in 1192 be was nominated forcongressman- •t-large, running with Dick Yates on the Republican ticket. It was the year of the Democratic land-slide in Illinois and both were defeated. JVAD concerned are to be congratu- teted upon the satisfactory settlement of tfce long lockout at the Virden coal mines, and especially the miners who have made such a determined and suc- tisssful fight for the payment of the regu­ lar scale price. Their notable victory (Deans much to all of the coal miners of tile state as well as to themselves. Had tkey been defeated, and had the opera­ tors succeeded in resuming operations at the reduction they proposed to pay, their product would have unsettled the markets and eventually forced other mines to reduce the prices paid to min- a *8, and it would have been impossible to maintain the existing scale. By conced­ ing all that the miners asked in the first place, the coal company practic illy ad- mite that it was in the wrong and that •11 the trouble there, including the loss life, would have been avo ded had it iept its agreement with its employes and faid the scale price, as it has now agreed L r *>do Its action clearly fixes the re- & •ponBibility for the trouble that Has P* _ Second.

Just as a Cincinnati drummer was writing his name on a register at a Kan­ sas City hotel, a bal-bug appeared and slowly meandered across the page The drummer dropped his pen and remarked: "I have been bled by Chicago fleas, bitten by St. Louis spiders, and interviewed by Fort Scott gray backs, but I'll be darn* d if 1 ever was in a hotel where the bed­ bugs examined the register to find the number of my room.

I Advice to 1 Consumptives: There are three great reme- X dies that every person with | weak lungs, or with consump- t tion itself, should understand. I These remedies will cure f about every case in its first stages ; and many of those more advanced. It is only the most advanced that are hopeless. Even these are wonderfully relieved and life itself greatly prolonged. What are these remedies ? Fresh air, proper food and Scon's Emulsion of Cod-Liver Oil with Hypo- phosphites. Be afraid of draughts but not of fresh air. Eat nutritious food and drink plenty of milk. Do not forget that Scott's Emulsion is the oldest, the most thoroughly tested and the highest en­ dorsed of all remedies for ; weak throats, weak 1 ungs and : consumption in all its stages. 1 50c. and $1.00; all druggists.
