OVERRULED.

George Huskirk's I'l-ayer For a Kelieariiig IK Turned Down JJy tJie Appellate Court.

The appellate court has overruled the petition for a rehearing- in the case of the state against George W. Buskirk of Montgomery county. This is the case in which the court decided that the sale of a quart of beer by one who does not h61d county license subjects the teller to a fine of from S5 to 8200 under Uio general law

THE GAS SUPPLY.

Tl 5 Supervisor Suys Ji I IJerr.'n&ing ljy No Means N. ..1- An Kinl.

The annual report of J. Ci Leach, the natural gas supervisor, which is just out, will be of special interest to residents of the gas belt. In this report the present oondition of the field is given very fully. The supervisor says that "the heart" of the field, that part of the gas belt that has not been invaded yet by pipe lines, contains about 250 square miles and ineludes parts of Madison. Grant and Dalaware counties. This territory showed an average rock pressure of 215 last November which is a decrease of thirty pounds during the previous year. The average pressure of the productive area of the gas field which is much smaller than the original area was below 200 at the same time. Regarding the future the report says: "As the supply decreases and the price advances the consumption will naturally become lighter. Factories will use gas only where it is. absolutely necessary, and supplement with other fuel and finally when natural gas is used only for domestic purposes, those that can afford it will use it for a considerable time after it has ceased to be a manufacturing fuel or even a universal domestic fuel."

Accompanying the report is a map of the natural gas field which tells its history and present condition plainer than words can.

POSTPONED.

TI10 Troops lit Chickamauga Will Not Get Away For tUe Houth litder Ten Days.

The following dispatch was sent out from Chickamauga Tuesday night: "The order issued Sunday to immediately equip and prepare fifteen regiments of the First corps to form an expeditionary force was revoked by Major General Brooke to-day. This does not change the plan to prepare for an expedition, however, since'the revoking order affects more especially the transfers that were named in the former orders. It provides further that instead of fifteeu regiments being immediately equipped and prepared, the entire First corps of twenty-seven regiments is to bo hastily prepared for active field service, and the natural inference prevails among the best posted army otlicers at the park that the entire force will be off for Tampa or other seaports within a week or ten days, or as rapidly as the transports can be provided. "It is more then likely that the regiments will all be paid before any of them are ordered uut. Major Otto Becker and Major Seymour Howell were the only government paymasters arriving to-day, althougn twenty-five were expected Major Becker stated that the corps would begin paying the army at once. The privates will be paid at the rate of 815.(50 per month and officers from SIS to 819167 per month. Major Becker roughly estimates that the amount to be paid out will not be less than §2,000.000 and will probably run even higher The fact that the volunteer army lias not had experience in the methods of paying the army will necessarily delay the progress of the paymasters. There will be numerous embarrassments to overcome.

Already considerable stuff in the way of equipment and supplies has gone forward for the regiments mentioned in the first order and the men are busy throughout the camp getting their equipage packed for the shipment. The orders liave not so far interfered with the regular work and drills and exercises of all kinds were in progress to-day, "The organized fight against the canteens at Chickamauga is gaining1 ground. Another meeting of the Chickamauga Chaplains' Association has just been he'd and definite action taken in reference to having the canteens abolished. The following resolution was introduced and passed: 'WIIMIEAS, There have been established in many of the regiments in Camp Thomas, canteens where intoxicants are sold and 'WHEREAS, The highest medical authorities in the army have advised against ihe use of all intoxicants and stimulants: and, 'WHEREAS, The use of 6aid intoxicants i6 filling the guardhouses and hospitals therefore, be it 'Resolved, By the chaplains' association, that the attention of General Brooke is respectfully called to these facts and we urgently petition nim to use his military authority in the suppression of this evil.' "The physicians and many who are familiar with the army are heartily in sympathy with the movement started by the chaplains and it may be that others will appeal to the general along the same line. The improvement in the health ot the regiment is indicated by the reports that the hospital ot the first division, thiid corps, which is in charge of Majjr Hoover. Some days ago the reports showed that there were seventy patients in the hospitals. Yesterday's report showed only forty-six, a decrease of twenty-four."

Can't T.'HO Postage Stump*.

The impression that postage stamps cun bo used on checks, drafts, etc., is erroneous, according to the revenue authorities. Postage stamps cannot be used as a substitute for any internal revenue stamp unless imprinted with "I., II." on them by the department. Such stamps as are now on sale at the post offices will not do. The list heretofore 6ent out should be amended as follows:

Under documentary stamps—conveyance—deed, instrument of writing whereby realty is sold, etc., where consideration exceeds 8100 and notexceedS500, 50 cents and for each additional S500 or fractional part in excess of 8500 50 cents. Under proprietary stamps— where retail price exceeds 10 cents and not 15 cents. %. Where retail price exce.eds 15 cents and not exceeding 25 cents, cents, and for each additional 25 cents, cents.

Kager For the Fray.

A member of Company writes to a friend in this city that the boys cheered heartily when the news came Sunday that they would soon be on the way to the front. Ever since the camp has been the scene of busy preparation, and the boys of Company are without exception rejoiced that the prospects for active service are so bright.

OVER THE POND.

Jimmie Watson Tells How tlie Wur is »Uo Absorbing Topic of luterent iu 11 is Native Tow 11 oI Glasgow.

Jimmie Watson, the well known horse buyer, returned some days ago from a vibit to his home in Glasgow, Scotland, and he 6tates that the war attracts as much or more attention in Great Britain as here. Jimmie sailed for home on the day after the destruction of the Maine and when he reached port he found the whole English nation on fire with excitement. The first word he received on lauding was the untrue report that the United Statea had sent an army to take Cuba. "Vou may talk about your yellow newspapers," said Jimmie, "but this country is hardly up to ours in that business. Why, in our city of Glasgow' the papers get out special editions every half hour and the one topic is the war. The people crowd around the bulletin boards and discuss every report that comes in at great length. Everybody buys the extras and walks through the streets reading them so interestedly that personal collisions are constantly occuring. A big fat man reading a paper with his eyes hanging out on his cheeks will possibly walk right over a child or a woman with a loaded basket and will hardly turn around to see what damage he has done. Of course everybody there is rabidly in sympathy with the United States and the news of an American victory causes great rej dicing. The first thing we heard of in the way of real war was the news of the bombardment of Matanzas and then when received the report was from Madrid, which stated that the Americans had fired 1,500 shots and killed nothing but one mule. This made us all feel a little blue, but in a few days we heard of Dewey's victory at Manila and that made the whole country wild with enthusiasm. Men slapped each other on the back and in all the grog shops the people drank to Dewey. That Dewey is a man of great pluck 6ays everyone and even the little lads, mind you, name their pets after the man. The papers at home get many false stories from both sides and the people are kept guessing more than they are here as to what is true and what is fake. They have quit believing the stories of Spanish success, however

About the 3d and 4th will center a very warm wave with low barometer, and many summer Etorms. The last half of June and most of July will fall in a Venus equinoctial period. From the 7th to the 11th falls a regular storm period. During this period another very warm wave will pass over the land and numerous blusteriag electrical storms will occur. As a rule cooler weather will follow the storms of each period, and fair weather with increasing warmth will open the periods. Govern your business plans accordingly and you will be the gainer. Reactionary disturbances will be central about the Hth to 10th. The 10th to 23d constitutes a marked regular storm period central on the 20th. Storms as a rule form in the west during the first half of the periods and make their transit across the country eastward during the last half. On or next to the 20th or i7th look for warmer, low barometer and reactionary disturbance*. A regular storm per'od is central on the 31st. The combined Venus and Mercury periods in July will intensify the natural tendency to great heat.

The following is an extract from a letter from Charles Robinson, of Company M: "There is no telling when you will hear from me again as we have orders to leave for Santiago de Cuba by Wednesday. Will he very busy until we get off. If I get a chance to write again I will do so. If we stop iong enough in coast city will telegraph you where to write. We got eight wagon loads of guns to-day and everything needful to a soldier is being issued. I am sitting outside, the tent on a box with a candle stuck in a bayonet and it stuck in the ground."

Now the time has come when the housewife who does much of her own cooking or preserving must often have her fingers stained with the juice of berries, peaches, etc., and it may be well to remind her her that the fumes of sulphur will remove most fruit stainB from the fingers. Put a tiny lump of sulphur in a tin plate, pour on a little alcohol, and set it on fire. Hold the finger tips above the flame and the discoloration will disappear,

For Company M.

A box was sent on Tuesday to Company containing flannel bands, two for each man and a number of extra ones, 250 in all. The expense was met by donations from citizens and the work was done by thirty-five ladies who met at Mrs. Dr. McCormick's Monday and Tuesday.

A CHANGE OF HEART

uuil lie Isn't at All I'.ack\vuvl About Telling It.

George D. Nichols has brought suit in the circuit court to have a deed to real estate 6et aside. The deed in question conveys a sixty acre farm to Hattie J. Ivillen and her children and was executed a year or so ago by the plaintiff. His story regarding his change of heart is interesting and if true is altogether commendable on the part of the old gentleman. Nichols states in his complaint that he is now seventy-five years of age and that he is residing on a sixty acre farm in this county. Some twelve years ago the husband of his daughter llattie died and after he had been buried it was found that he had left his wife and children penniless. Good old Mr. 'Nichols took them in under his roof and proceeded to take care of them to the best of his ability. He worked hard and saw to it that they never wanted for any of the comforts of life. They all seemed to appreciate greatly what he had done for them and jollied him all of the time. Finally they suggested that it would be real sweet of him to deed the farm to them so that when he passed away there could be no beating them out of it, They assured him that they would always look after hi6 interests and comfort and would be good and dutiful. Finally in 1SUC he acted in accordance with their wishes and made the deed, reserving, however, a life time interest in the place for himself.

For some time after the deed was made liattie and her children were aB good as proverbial pie and couldnt 'do too much for "gran'pa," About five months ago, however, trouble of a serious character arose. Hattie began to gad about with Dick Stjuders. Now according to tho complaint, Dick Souders is a desperate, designing and reck-» less man of bad repute. He has all the vices and none of the virtues and isn't at all the sort of a character that a nice, self respecting "widow lady" would want to go joshing around the country with. Mr. Nichols objected but Hattie refused to give Dick up and was worse than ever. Their actions in Mr. Nichols' house became so outrageous and disgraceful that he was overcome with shame. Hefappealed to her children'but they took their mother's side and began to maltreat and abuse him. lie says that patience has ceased to be a virtue and he wants the court to set aside the deed as the children have not lived up to the promises they made him in order to secure the execution of the instrument. He will leave his property to other parties and Hattie will some day wish th&t she had been good.

Weekly Crop Uullelin.

The weather during the week 7?aB very beneficial to growing' crops acd favorable to all farm work. The earlier part of the week was cool, especially during the nights, but the latter part was warmer. Local rains fell on only a few days they were heavy in only a few localities, and in many counties rain is needed for corn and potatoee. Corn grew rapidly, is well.advanced, of good color, and the helds are frequently cultivated: much of the crop has bees "laid by." Oats are maturing they headed well, but the straw is short. Potatoes are in good condition: in iany localities they are nearly ready to be gathered: late potatoes are growing well, but bugs are doing injury in the northern portion. Field and garden vegetables are good and abundant. But few tobacco plants have been set out in Ohio county, the ground still biiing too dry in I'erjy county many of the fields intended for tobacco have been planted with potatoes. The wheat harvest progressed in the southern portion the wheat is nearly all in shock: the shocks are large and numerous, and, in a few fields, threshing has begun: the crop every whei-e is heavy it is many years since the yield has been so fine and abundant. The rye crop is above the average. Haying progresses, and heavy crops of clover and timothy and all kinds of hay have baen secured nearly everywhere in the state. The fruit has fallen off much: still, in many orchards the prospect for a fair yield is good cherries wero very abundant. Berries and grapes promise heavy crops. Bees are gathering much honey. Pasturage and stock is in healthy condition.

NEW MARKET, lnd., June 28, '98. —I notice in last week's edition of the Review that the Chilkoot scribe accuses me of being the person who roasted him three weeks ago in the New Market letter. I did not write the letter or any other letter abusing him or any other scribe or person. I would have more respect for my friends and acquaintances. The scribe did not use my name, but there is no doubt about who he meant, therefore I take this opportunity to deny the cha-.-e, as I was unjustly accused and ab'- ed.
