DEAR

Mahlon D. /lanson 5th U. S. Cavalry,

Writes a Letter of Interest From One of our New Possessions. "I

PONCE, PORTO RICO.

SyrrcE.—As I have a few mo

ments beforr "taps" I will answer your letter of the 1st inst. This old town of Ponce is as dull as ever, and with the exception of the arrival of Alger here with his escort, nothing of interest has occurred lately. The boys are all tired of the country and want to get back once more to the states. They are feeling remarkably cheerful at the present t'ime, owing to the fact that the names of those who enlisted at the time war was declared, were called out and given their choice of remaining or being mustered out of the service. Of course we won't get out for several months yet, but we fellows are anxiously awaiting that time. John Vanhook and I heard that "Dock" Johnson had been die charged, but I guess it was a "fake," as we received a bundle of papers from him last Sunday. We were paid last Tuesday, and I am spending my time endeavoring to learn Spanish. I have engaged a Spanish teacher in the city and expect before our discharge to be pretty well up on the lingo.

One of the queer things here is the way the natives treat their dead. Near our camp is a cemetery surrounded by a twenty foot stone wall. On the inside are long rows of little vaults just large enough for one person. When a native dies, and his relatives cannot afford to bury him, the body is placed in one of these vaults which at the time of the burial is rented for five years. At the end of this time if the rent isn't again renewed the body, or bones rather, are taken out and thrown over in one corner of the cemetery and the same vault is again ready for use.

Must close as there goes "taps" and my light goes out, so write soon. YOUT chum,

BONEY.

Sudden Death.

Mrs. Gideon Smith residing just across the line in Boone county, died very suddenly Thursday night. There are some peculiar features connected with the caS^. Her bro-ther-in-law concluded that there was some extraneous circumstances connected with it and sent for the coroner, who pronounced it heart disease This did not satisfy the brother-in-law and he threatened to mandate the officer if he did not hold a postmortem This was done without any resort to law. Nothing was discovered to change the verdict. Mrs. Smith was 38 years old, and leaves a husband and one child.

Passed.

The county superintendent of schools reports the names of Willie Layson and Wallace Martin as having made the necessary grade for graduation from the public schools at the April examination in this township. In seventh year geography Dnisy Burroughs, Karl Morrison and Harry Coons received the exemption grade.

Wm. Hutchinson, of Darlington, has had his pension increased from $8. to $10.

assurance

in a woman's \ear that soon a little stranger will come to a it baby fingers

her cheek and neck, she makes the fondest preparations for its arrival. Everything that a woman's dainty toate can imagine is provided for the new-comer's wardrobe. Nothing is overlooked save one thing, and that one thing is the most important. Too many mothers forget that baby's strength and health, its ability to withstand the usual ailments of childhood, and its vigor and welfare, as a man or woman, are dependent upon her own health and physical condition during the period of prospective maternity. If, during that critical time, she is weak, sickly, nervous and despondent, because of troubles peculiar to her sex, these conditions aTe bound to have their influence upon her baby's health. Neglect of these conditions invariably means that baby will be weak, puny and peevish. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is an unfailing cure for all troubles of this JJ®ture, and it will reinforce a woman's bodily and nerve strength so that she can safely undergo the trials of maternity. It gives health, strength, vigor, elasticity and endurance to the organs specially concerned in motherhood. It givts bodily nervous hardihood to the child.

THE COPPERS "CALLED.

Mis. Effie Toney Charges Officers Mc

Coy and Flynn With Assault

v.-'

and Buttery.

Saturday night officers McCoy and Flynn visited the north end and swooped down on the domicile of Charlie Toney, where quite an exciting matinee was held which has not closed yet, the second act of which will be played in Squire Buck's court this morning. Toney had been down town and it is claimed by the officers had been toying with the cup that makes merry. They also claim that he was raising sheol and needed attention for the peace and quiet of the neighborhood. Toney claims that only one glass of lager has passed his lips, that he was quiet, nursing the buby and playing a game of eucher, when the officers opened up on his establishment. The police deny this. They took him down to the jail where he remained until yesterday. The trial was set for 2 o'clock. When the time came Toney filed an affidavit for a change of venue. The Mayor refused to grant the change, and a mighty war of words was fought between the Prosecutor and C. W. Burton who appears for the defense. The case was postponed until this morning. Burton & Jones at once prepared to mandate the Mayor, but before the papers were ready the change was granted.

The aftermath of the affair came later yesterday evening, when Mrs. Effie Toney, wife of the accused, went before Justice Buck and filed an affidavit against officer McCoy charging him with assault and battery on her own person, and that he struck her with a mace when she attempted to keep him from entering her house. She files the same sort of affidavit against officer Flynn, with the exception of the mace episode. Mrs. Toney declares that there was no one drunk about the house save the two officers, whom she openly charges with being in a state of intoxication, an impeachment which the officers coyly deny. They were not "painting" they say. Mrs. Toney, however, is reaching out the red hand of vengeance toward them and declares that she can prove that they were drinking and do it by several responsible witnesses. The merry-go-round will start in Squire Buck's office this morning when the policemen will be arrested and brought before him.

Fire.

Last night about 9 o'clock a fire alarm was sounded and the department made a quick run to the scene of|conflagration. It was a small house 011 south Grant avenue near Perry street, occupied by Joseph Elmore. It is owned by Miss Cason who received it in a recent trade for the Powell stock of second hand goods. The family were absent and the fire started from an overly high gas fire. When discovered the contents of the room were blazing merrily. The water was turned on and things were soon thoroughly soaked. Most of the furniture in one room was either burned or badly damaged by water. At no time was there much danger of the fire spreading to other buildings. The loss was not large.

To Tackle the Octopus.

A partnership has been formed between Fred Uregg of this city, and E. L. Williams, of Indianapolis, in the oil business. They will erect tanks and send out two delivery wagons over the county. This will have the effect of breaking the monopoly which has been so long enjoyed here by the Standard Oil Company, that greatest of all the octopus breed. The business at this end of the line will be in charge of Mr. Gregg. Mr. Williams is the man whq located the Standard Company's plant in this city, and. is authority on the oil business.

a a

On next Saturday night the Black Creek Literary Society will give a dramatic entertainment at Wesley Chapel, in which some plays of a most stirring character will )je presented.

Fire Loss.

The Mace telephone line was damaged to the extent of $150 in the recent fire. Wm. T. Kise has secured a room and will resume business at once.

Horse Show.

Jamestown will hold a horse show on May 13. Ladaga will give alike entertainment on next Saturday.

The? plans for the new $10,000 school building at Hillsboro have been prepared by W. F. Sharpe, of this city. u1, 1

Not Color Only,

Certain of the members of the American Federation ,of labor, who signed the request for with-drawal cards from that organization, deny that the movement was actuated on their part by an objection to receiving colored men into the societv. It is true that this is the reason for the with- drawal of a number but the reason of the others is, they say, that the society is insolvent, and they object to the great expense necessary to liquidate the obligation of the concern, and start on a new deal. The reason is finacial alone, and there is no desire on the part of these particular members to discriminate against the colored man. The others, however have a different feeling, and declare that they are not in the least color blind and insist that tlxey will have a new organization into which the colored man shall never come.

Zouave Company.

Quite a large number of Co. M. bo^s met in the small court room last night for the purpose of organizing a zouave company. It has been the wish of Gen. Lew Wallace, and also the Go. M. boys for some time past. The boys have been very fortunate in getting Capt. Drury for their commander which no doubt will prove a greai advantage in their undertaking.

Some decisive steps were taken as to securing uniforms and equipments They expect soon to have their company undei way.

Mrs. Crowe.

The body of Mrs. Hannah Crowe, widow of Mike Crow, was brought here from Sheridan yesterday. The funeral will take place to-day from the residence of her nephew, Thomas Clements, corner of Lafayette Avenue and North street. Interment will take place at Oak Hill. She was a native of county Armah, Ireland, having been born there 85 years ago. Fifty years of her life were spent in America.

fs An Old Relic. Mrs. Elizabeth Williamson has in her possession a trunk with a history. It is of the ancient pattern strongly yet rudely constructed with edgings of raw leather. The trunk carried an even measured bushel of silver dollars from Hagerstown, Pa., in 1777 to Virginia, and later to Kentucky and into Indiana. It was originally the property of her mother-in-lay, Granny Henry, the grandmother of J. W. Henry of 510 Elm street. The trunk will be preserved as a family hairloom.

Don't Want It.

There is general complaint all over Mantgomery county because Joe Cheudle insists on sending his paper, the Standard, to persons who don't want it and who have ordered it stopped.—Journal.

The Standard is not alone. There are others.

Economic League.

The Economic League will meet this evening at Hall's business college. Hon. P. S. Kennedy will lecture on''The Individual in the Commonwealth.''

Bowling Date Changed.

The bowling contest between the ladies and gentlemen will occur at the Hastings' alleys to-night instead of to-morrow afternoon as stated in yesterday's paper.
