FROM now on you can't draw your •own money out of bank without sticking a two-cent stamp to your check. Reminds you of the good old war times, doesn't it?

BY the way what has become of all those diagrams which two months ago took up so much space in the blanket sheet newspapers for the purpobe of showing the people that {be navies of Spain and the United States were on'a parity?

THOSE so-called "curled darlings of New York" seem to fight about as valorously and to die as near the front as any one else. How their critics would act under similar circumstances is not known, as none of them are where they can be put to the test.

THE fact that two of President McKinley's nephews are enlisted as privates seems to be sufficient to show that this ialk of a "pull" is all political bosh. It is probably true that there never was a war before in which every tub came so near to standing on its own bottom as in this war now being waged.

THE senators engaged in delaying the annexation of Hawaii by parliamentary tricks are warned by Senator Morgan that they will be spurned by the fathers who have sons in the Philippines. He might add that the American people generally will join in with the kindred of those sent across the Pacific to preserve the fruits ?®f Dewey's victory.

THE Prohibitionists of Pennsylvania have nominated Dr. Swallow for governor. This excellent old woman should purchase a scrap book and become a member of a press clipping bureau. After the election he can amuse himself by cutting out from the papers the bacchanalian puns made on his name and pasteing them for the edification of the future broods of Bwallows.

THOSE tourists which Uncle Sam is going to send to sunny Spain this seaeon will probably not be received with BO great joy as those who have visited that counti-y in seasons past, although it is likely that this year's visitors will scatter their "metal" even more recklessly than their predecessors. The kind of metal that will be scattered and the proposed method of scattering it is what makes the difference this year.

THE rapidity with which the subscriptions to the 8200,000,000 loan are pouring in shows that a good deal of idle money is in the hands of the masses of the people, and that a far larger loan and at a lower rate of interest than 3 per cent oould be floated. The loan is highly popular, even in the technical sense, and the holders of small sums of money are availing themselves of the opportunity to get a good security at a rate of interest which is nearly as high as the savings bank offer, but which is, of course, a safer investment than a deposit in any sort of a bank would be. The financial demands of the government throughout the war, no matter how heavy they may chance to be, can probably be all met at homfe.

A-MEDD1E805WE FATHER I.AM). St. Louis GlobeDcmncml: Carl Schurz. in a letter published in a Berlin paper, talks plainly about the "malevolent antipathy of the UermETn press.'1 toward the United States, says that this spirit, if persisted in, will eradicate all the sympathy of the German-Ameri-cans for the fatherland, and declares that America's "friends are their friends, and its enemies are their enemies." These are sensible and patriotic words. The attitude of the majority of Germany's newspapers toward the United States must be as offensive to German-Americans as it is to Americans of any other lineage. The authorities of Germany profess friendship for the United States, but this attitude is antagonized by the expressions of most of the German newspapers, which afford a better indication'of the feeling of the German people than the Derfunctory and guarded utterances of the German officials reveal. Aside from the Socialist newspapers, practically all of Germany's press is hostile to the United States. The press of Germany, as well as every other country, is usually a fairly accurate exponent of the views of its constituency. Those German manufacturers and exporters who are complaining .of tho falling off of their trade in the United States can find the cause in the vindicative and foolish anti-American utterances of their principal newspapers.

BASE INGRATITUDE.

ROU.VILLE Tribune (Dem.): No political event has been so detrimental to the silver cause as the defeat of Alien W. Clark. It is not now, and never has been the purpose of the Tribune to suppress any truth. Nothing can be gained by denying a fact so palpably evident as that which the Republican press from one end of Indiana to the other, is gleefully proclaiming—that the defeat of Allen W. Clark is the deliberate turning down of the mo6t active and conspicuous worker for bimetallism in the state. And in our opinion as bad as the blunder is from a political standpoint, it is even worse when considered from a personal point of view. It then becomes the basest of ingratitude, a common enough thing in politics, but none the less reprehensible to sincere and honorable men.

At the Democratic state convention two years ago, the welkin rang with praises of Mr. Clark for his leadership of the gallant fight that gave to silver men control of the party. Any place on the ticket below that of governor was his for the asking. He declined to let his name go before the convention for treasurer of state, giving way to the men who were already in the field for that office. Promises of future support were freely given him. How these pledges were fulfilled was. seen last Wednesday. If this is to be the fate of men who lead a fight for party principle, who will be the next man to volunteer for political slaughter? When the fight shall come to hold Indiana for Bryan in 1900, as it probably will come, who will do the work'.' The experience of the men, who with Mr. Clark, put their time and money into the '05 and

?I.H

contest

has not been such as to encourage others, and to them it is equivalent to an invitation to step to the rear. That hundreds of silver men in Indiana will do so is a foregone conclusion. It is inevitable, and the Tribune has no inclination to diEsemble on so plain a truth.

AFTEK the American flag was hoisted on the biuff near Guantanamo. the next thing set up was a United States postoffice. The government will be collecting box rents all over Cuba within the next thirty days.

Kingston, Jamaica, June 30. The Spanish consul here lias received a cablegram from Santiago de Cuba asserting that the United States armored cruiser

CRUISER BROOKLYN.

Brooklyn has been struck by a Spanish shell, which sank the vessel and killed Commodore Schley and 24 seamen.

It has also been reported to the Spanish consul from Santiago that an extensive mine lias been laid which will blow up half the American army when it enters the city.

Disbelieved at Washington. "Washington, June 30.—When officers on duty at the navy department were shown a copy of the above dispatch they expressed disbelief in the story. Not a word has been received .from Admiral Sampson, they said, since Tuesday night, and tho officers regard it as certain that had anything of the kind recounted in tho dispatch happened the admiral would immediately have informed the department.

GENERAL SHAFTER.

May Xot Wait For Reinforcements Before Attacking tlio Enctny. Washington, June 30.—The opinion prevails here that within a clay or two at most General Sliafter will have begun his attack upon the city of Santiago proper. The important event of yesterday was the general's announcement that he could take the city in 48 hours, but at considerable loss. Taken in connection with the announcement contained in another dispatch that he is going to attack without awaiting reinforcements it will be seen that the officials have ground for their expectation that the first general engagement of the war will begin in a very short time. Numerically the opposing armies are not very different, the estimate of the Spanish force being placed at 14,000 men, thoroughly entrenched and behind barbedwire fences and blockhouses, as against about 18,000 men under Shafter's command, aided by 4,000 Cubans. One ot' the gravest elements in the problem, however, is the Spanish warships, for unless Sliafter is materially assisted by Sampson, who might engage the full attention of the Spanish ships, their Are upon the American advance forces would be very hard to meet.

The military authorities here say tnat General Linares has shown great military tactics in slowly retiring during the last few days, as ha has gradually drawn our troops away from the protection of the American ships and brought them close to the fire of the Spanish ships in Santiago harbor. For this reason it was with relief that the announcement was received here that Shafter had succeeded in landing all of his artillery, including his siege train, for unless Sampson can be relied upon to force his way into the harbor and attack the Spanish ships these siege guus planted ou heights commanding the bay will be the main reliance of General Shafter in olfsetting the presence of the Spanish ironclads.

The war department received the first definite news yesterday as to the approach of Spanish reinforcements. This was in an official dispatch, stating that

8,000 men. with pack trains and droves of animals wercs advancing from Manzanillo and were 54 miles from Santiago. It has been known through reports from Lieutenant .Joyce, made to General Miles that tho Spaniards have 12,000 men at Manzanillo and 10,000 at Holguiu, and every precaution had been taken to guard against their advaneo from either quarter.

The official report yesterday showed that 8,000 of those at Manzanillo had covered half the distance to Santiago, and it is the belief of military officials here that General Pando is making

similar advance with his 10,000 men from Holguiu. The navy department gave out a message from Admiral Dewey which was brought to Hong Kong by the McCullocli, so that it must have left Cavite on tho 23rd. Tliei admiral made no reference to the lsuidiug of German marines and tlie oJ&cials here are satisfied that Germany is.acting in good faith and according to the rules of neutrality.

SITUATION UNCHANGED.

Admiral Dewey Telegraphs Condition at 2Manili. Washington, June 30.—The navy do parrtnient late yesterday mado public the following cablegram from Admiral Dewey brought by• the McCulloch to Hong Kong, and, though undated, supposed to have been sent from Cavite June 23:

No change in the situation since my telegram of June 17. Five German, three British, one French and one Japanese men-of-war in port. The insurgents constantly closing in on city. Aguinaldo, the insurgent leader, with 13 of his staff, arrived May 19 by -my permission, ou the Nanshan. He established himself at Cavite, outside of the arsenal under the protection of our gnus, and organized his arm}7. The progress of Aguinaldo has been wonderful. He lias invariably conducted the war humanely. My relations with him are cordial, but my conferences have been generally only of a personal nature.

FIRST TIME IN HISTORY.

Common Seamen and Soldiers Thanked Congress. Washington, June 30.—A precedent tlxat will be historic was established by the senate at its session jresterdav. For probably the first time in the history of the senate a resolution was adopted tendering, the thanks of congress to common seamen, specifically naming them in the resolution. The resolution elicited several patriotic speeches in which the private soldiers of the army and the common sailors of the navy were glowingly eulogized. The resolutions recommended by the president were adopted, tendering tho thanks of cougress to Naval Constructor Hobson and the other heroes of the Merrimae, and to Lieutenant Frank H. Neweomb, commander of the revenue cutter Hudson, for his gallant rescue of the Winslow and her crew off Cardenas, and ritiring on full pay Captain Hodgson of the McCulloch fdt1 distinguished services at Manila.

CARDENAS ENGAGEMENT.

Captaiu Newcouib 3Iake« a. Report to Navy Department. Washington, June 30.—The navy department has received a report from Captaiu Neweomb, of the revenue cutter Hudson upon the engagement in Cardenas bay in which young Baglev was killed and Lieutenant Bernadou. commanding the Winslow was badly wounded in the thigh. After telling how well his own crew acted during the time they were under fire, trying to rescue the Winslow, Captain Neweomb says: "I take pleasure in testifying to the remarkable bravery displayed by Lieutenant Bernadou and the men of the Window and consider it one of the greatest privileges of my life to have been an eye witness of their conduct at a time when many men would have felt justified in abandoning hope. With such officers and such men the American nation may well be proud of its navy."

CAMP ALGER.

Movement of Troops Not Probable This Week—Captaiu AppeUviiite. Washington, June 30.—It now seems probable that there will be no movement of troops from Camp Alger this week, but it is thought that some troops may leave next week.

Captain Appelwaite of Company G, One Hundred and Fifty-ninth Indiana, who has been ill for some, time with fever was today, sent to the hospital at Fort Myer. The symptoms in the case are identical with those of Private Caton, who died of typhoid fever at Fort. Myer, last week.

Hobson Is Well.

Birmingham, Ala., June 30.—The Age-Herald prints today, a special dispatch gfrom Greensboro, the home of Judge Hobson, father of the hero of the Merrimae adventure at Santiago, giving a cablegram received from his son at Santiago. The cablegram reads: "Santiago de Cuba. June 28. My health continues good. Feel no uneasiness about me."

Assigned to Doty at Chickamaugo. Washington, June 80. Brigadier General R. T. Ftank, recently retired from duty at New York in command of the department of the east, has been assigned at Chickainauga, Ga., in command of a division of the Third army corps.

Forty Death*.

Kingston, Jamaica, June 30.—It is reported thtit there has been .40 deaths from yellow fever among the American troops in Cuba. According to the same authority there has been an alarming outbreak of smallpox at KUmzaniilt).

PAYMASTERS ARRIVE.

The lioys at Chickamatixa Will Soon Have Full Fusses. Chickainauga National ^Military Park, Ga., June 30.—A quiet and uneventful day was yesterday at the park and nothing of any special importance occurred. No orders for the movement of any troops were received though the railroads have been notified to be ready to move large bodies at a moment's notice.

The full corps .of paymasters, 22 in number, arrived ana went into camp, and are heavily guarded at all hours by details of troops from each regiment. It is stated that the work of paying off the men will begin tomorrow and thereafter prosecuted us rapidly as possible to completion.

The ordnance and quartermasters' offices announced last night that 25 regiments were practically equipped and ready to go, and if they are not-ordered away within a week they will have everything needed for their campaign.

The Fifth Illinois received 3 72 new rifles yesterday and the Ninth Pennsylvania will receive their full complement today. The First Iltinois cavalry has received -?G,0OO rounds of ammunition and, it is understood, that they are to be included in the next order to move. Captain Rockwell states that a sufficient quantity of arms, ammunition and othor equipment has been shipped and is now ou the road to complete the outfitting of the entire army and that within less than two weeks every regiment at the park would be ready for active service, so far as supplies in his department are concerned

DEWEY'S REINFORCEMENTS.

Army Oflieials Confident That They Have Reached Manila. Washington, June 30.—The officials here are confident that Admiral Dewey has received tho reinforcements under General Anderson which sailed from San Francisco on May 25, consisting of 2,500 men. The Charleston certainly has arrived as she was leading the transports some distance after leaving Honolulu. With the addition of her 400 sailors and marines Dewey will feel much safer. The navy department, it now appears, did not expect to hear or the arrival of the troop transports by the 23d of this month, the date of the last report from Manila. They had estimated that the transports might be somewhat delayed by a consideration for their coal consumption, desiring to avoid reaching Manila with empty bunkers as would have been the case if they were driven at full speed across the Pacific.

IN A DAY OR TWO.

War Department Mav Be Connected With Shafter by Telegraph. Washington, June 30.—Advices received by General Greely, chief signal officer of the army, yesterday, indicate the progress that is being made in establishing telegraphic communication in the vicinity of the headquarters ot General Shaffer's army. Arrangements have been perfected and practically carried out through the co-operation of Lieutenant Colonel Allen of the signal corps and Major Greene, General Shatter's signal officer, for connecting Sevilla (or Siboney) and the seacoast with a military telegraph line. '.Phe prospects are that within a day or two direct communication will be possible between Sevilla aiul Washington, which will render unnecessary the use to any great extent of couriers in sending dispatches.

BIG MEAT CONTRACT.

Swift Co. of Chicago to Titrnisli Beef For the Army In Cuba. Washington, June 8U.—Commissary General Eagan of the army yesterday awarded to Swift & Co. of Chicago a contract for supplying tho troops in Cuba with refrigerated beef in such quantities and at such places as may be required. The contract is a big one and involves the shipment to that country of large cargoes of dressed meat, to be used not alone for the soldiers, but also for feeding the reconcentrado.s and the Cuban troops. The government guarantees the contract to last, for- not less than three months and the beef is to be furnished so that it will be perfectly good and tie for use 72 hours after its delivery.

Relieved to Have Sailed.

Washington, June 30.—The understanding at the war deptvrtme.Jt is that six transports carrying reinforcements for General Shafter's army left Tampa last evening going out .with the tide. They consisted-of about 3,000 men with their equipments and subsistence. This is only a small portion of the reinforcements to be sent to General Shafter as at present determined and include a portion.of Brigadier General Snyder's division.

Third Philippine Expedition. San Francisco, June 30.—General E. S. Otis and his force are doing everything they can to get the fourth expedition under way as soon as possible. Everything depends on the transports. Twelve or 3 5 more are needed. An attempt will be made to get the expedition away by the 10th of July.

LISTEN TO NATURE.

Backachcs, Headaches and Nervous'" ness are Messages For You.

Ihry Tell You That lour Kidneys DemanO A ttentJou- John Morrow's (iretit. .Discovery.

To most people a backache seems a very simple thiDg, to be got rid of' by "working it off." jSoinetiuueB the pain does "work off"—sometimes it does not.. Whether it does or not, thoughtful people have come to understand that a backache is a warning that is not to be neglected without d.-mger of contracting a disease that will limit life to a few months* or maybe years of suffering.

Kidney troubles have been better understood of late years, and kidney troubles is relation to rheumatism and neuralgia is only beginning to be fully comprehended. The kidneys are the filters through which the blood passes, and if they get out or order the blood remains impure and every part of the body suffers. First tho nerves tell the tale. A backache gives warning. Headaches cry out that something is wrong. The temper becomes irritable, the nervous system is shattered and insanity is the next6tep.

When John Morrow, the great American chemist, discovered and gave to the world the remedy known as Morrow's Kidneoids—a little yellow tablet—he could not then fully understand what a benefit he was bestowing on humanity. Time has fully proven that thousands who otherwise would surely have died have been restored to health by thfese tablets. The manner in which this medicine acts is illustrated by the case of Mrs. Margaret Fitzgerald, a respected lady of Springfield, Ohio, who says: "I have been a constant sufferer from lame back and diseased kidneys for many years. The pain in my back would often compel me to give up my work. I tried different physicians and remedies without permanent benefit. I at last beciime discouraged and decided to do nothing more for it, when I heard of the great success of Morrow's Kidneoids. I was reluctantly induced to try a box. After a few day's use I began to experience a change. The pain became less severe, and before I knew it the pain in my back had entirely disappeared. I used the remainder of the one box, and today I feel perfectly well. Morrow's Kidneoids will do just what the manufacturers claim for them."

Morrow's Kidneoids are for sale in all stores. If you cannot find them, they will be sent post paid bv the Herb Medicine Co., Springfield, Ohio, upon receipt of price—50 cents per box, or six boxes for 82.50.
