Letters were received this Wednesday morning from nearly all the boys who left here last week lor Gamp Thomas, Chickamauga, and all are reported in good health and spirits. We make a few extracts from three that have come to hand: CHICKAMAUGA PABK, Ga., June 19. We alrrived here last night, tired bu+ otherwise feeling good. It is very hot here but I guess we can stand it. We have got in with a nice lot of boys and 1 think we will be all right. Have just re­ turned from seeing guard mount and it was a sight. We expect to leave here in about ten days and will probably go to Porto Rico. We start drilling to-morrow aud I expect we will have a time of it. I will close .for this time as we have got to go to church. So you see we have got to be good. When you answer send me some stamps, as they are hard to get here. Regards to all. Hastily, - • • JESS. . Camp Thomas June 19th, 1898 We arrived here at Camp Thomas, seven miles from Chattanooga, last night. We are camping in Chickamauga Park. I am writing this letter down in the Canteen. This is a large tent where the boys spend their money, hold church services, write letters, read and have a good time. There hange in the tent two large American flags and a large Cuban fiag. We start to drill to-morrow, four hours a day. In the Park every historic place is marked. We are going to visit Lookout Mountain in a few days. Some of the boys have found bullets and other relics of the war. One Elgin boy found a gun under an old log when he was clean* ing up the park. We are having a grand time. We have not received our uni­ forms yet. The Illinois and Wisconsin boys a>re having a ball game and making lots of noise. I must quit with regards to all the boys. HERBERT BENNETT. I arrived here to-day at 10 o'clock A. M. and found the boys making themselves at home. Every one in the party Is in the best of spirits. Herbert did not go the same route that I did. I came via Chicago, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Chattanooga The trip took about 30 hours on about half rations. In crossing the Cumberland mountains we went through 15 tunnels, from 300 feet to one half mile. I guess you will have to pay the postage on this for we caii't get any here to-day. We have all received a blanket. I got a pair of shoes this morning. We expect to be uniformed to­ morrow and will ship our clothes home. I heard after I left that some McHenry people thought that when it came to the pinch that I would back out. I can lick the person that said it. People have a mistaken idea about this place. It is hot as the devil. Give my regards to all my friends. FRANK BENNETT, ! Judging from the way in which subscriptions to the war bonds are now pouring into the Treasury by mail it looks as though the issue of $200,000,- 000 will be largely oversubscribed by in* dividual investors, and that banks and other corporations will get none of the bonds. WAUCONDA, June 13,1898. EDITOR PLAINDEALER: DEAR SIR--As L am just back from the Prairie Belt of Eastern Arkansas, where I lately met Mr. Jed Gould's family who are now all quite well and reasonably happy, and knowing that yourself and the many friends of these people over Lake and McHenry Counties are anxious to hear from them, since hearing reports that Mrs. Gonld and children had all passed in their checks since moving to their nice home in Arkansas. Mr. Gould has been nearly down sick fora long time, and not near well enough to take the trip south, is Why he had her go instead of himself when they first made theselection. When Mr. Gould arrived there, he was com­ pelled to keep his room for some days, but was later taken down with typhoid fever, which the Arkansas doctor said had been in nig system for a long time, and his changing states had nothing to do with his death, as it surely would have went very hard with him, as it did, if he had not moved at all. We are aP sorry in this neck of the woods to have Mr. Gould leave us and his earthly po- sessions, as he had many friends and neighbors to mourn his departure. We believe, provided it is our put in, that if any go to that good place it will be such people as Mr. Gould. Deceased life was insured for $1,000 in the New York Life, which his family will soon get, which, in addition to the 750 acre farm free of in­ cumbrance, in about the center of the Grand Prairie Belt of Eastern Arkansas where the climate is healthy, the winters short, where nature does so much for the stock raiser, dairyman, fruit grower, trucker, there surely is no comparison between the situation and wealth of these people and their location only a few months ago. Winter and spring* oatsjand wheat, potatoes and all garden truck, peaches, pears, apples, black­ berries, blue and dewberries, etc., are I OXFORDS, the finest and most stylish assortment ever brought being harvested there now, and surely as to this town, for ladies and children. In Children's Shoes our stock large.: if not larger than in any oth9r cannot be surpassed outside of the city. Call and inspect our state m the union. It .8 not as hot there ghoe Dcpartment as here when wejhaveja hot day, but1 r ' warm weather lasts longer. No mosqui toes and not as many flies as here, wit invariably cool nights that are Mrs. Gould and family urged me to ex tend for them a general invitation to any and all of their many northern friends to make them at least a short visit at their new home in Prairie County, Arkansas.

BgEGIALTY, IST" Spain has been in possession of Cuba over 400 years, and of the Philip­ pines nearly 600 years, and it is said she possesses no authentic map of the former and does not know how many islands constitute the group of the lat­ ter. This dereliction alone should be sufficient cause for demanding their eva cution by bull fighters. 16?" It is not often that estates of liv­ ing individuals are underestimated. This seems, however, to have been the case with reference to Dr. Evans, the late Parisian dentist. His will is now being contested in the Philadelphia courts, and the evidence is conclusive that the estate will foot up over $25,000,000 This, is much beyond what Evans was supposed to be worth. Should the will be broken the city of Philadelphia will be a heavy loser. Makes Ken of Them. Many of the young men who have gone into the army, some of them mere strip­ lings, will come back full-fledged honored men. The discipline of army life serves as a very useful training for them. In civil life there is not that rigid obser­ vance of rHnk and authority that must be maintained in an army organization and yet the principles that govern an army are similar to those which should rule in business. The main principle is prompt obedience to those in authority. The young man who returns from the war well disciplined in this principle will be an excellent servant and a good mas­ ter. Military education in time of peace partake of the laxity of civil life, and though useful in its way, does not have such a mankind effect upon the conduct of the young men as the severe jiscipline of the regular soldiers of the volunteer army in time of war. Occasionally ot course discipline Is abused by incompe­ tent higher officers but as a rule it is em­ ployed for the benefit of all the members of the army, and its necessity commends it to all intelligent minds. The well dis­ ciplined force moves as a unit, and if wisely guided each member does his share of his duty for the common good. This the ideal condition of effective work, and the principles of discipline may, in a Goggin nejf see 17 E E Bagley et al to W Real Estate Transfers. For the week ending June 20th.

At SIMON A Fleshy Consumptive Did you ever see one ? Did you ever hear of one ? Most certainly not. Con­ sumption is a disease that invariably causes loss of flesh. If you are light in weight, even if your cough is only a slight one, you should certainly take Scott's Emuslion of cod liver oil with hypo- phosphites. No remedy is such a perfect prevent­ ive to consumption. Just the moment your throat begins to weaken and you find you are losing flesh, you should begin to take it. And no other remedy Has cured so many cases of consumption. f Unless you are far advanced with this disease, Scott's Emul­ sion will hold every in­ ducement to you for a perfect cure.
