is neither surprise nor alarm

in official circles on account of the few cases of yellow fever among our troops in Cuba. Surgeon-General Sternberg, of the army, said: "We have anticipated yellow fever among the troops and prepared for it, and never expected to get through the occupation of the island without some cases of the disease. Maj. Gen. Brooke understands the situation. He has as his chief surgeon a competent officer, and anything called for by him will be immediately sent. That there may be plenty of surgeons available, additional immune surgeons have been ordered to report to Dr. O'Reilly."

PRESIDENT MCKINLEY

confidence in American and English common :sense to share the fears expressed in some quarters, that the failure to agree on a boundary lino between Alaska and Canada, which seems likely to result from Canada's attempt to play the grab game, will result in any break of the pleasant relations between the-United States and Great Britain. He realizes that the failure to agree will be the causo of considerable irritation, and possibly of some disturbances in the disputed territory, but does not believe that it will dangerously involve the two governments.

COL. HENDERSON

received

welcome from his numerous Washington friends during his stay of several days in the city. Neither hiB successful speakership campaign, nor the shoving up, by newspaper writers, of his military title to "General," which seems to have been at once accepted by the public in general—Hon. Thos. J. Hendereon, who represented the seventh Illinois district in the house from the forty-fourth to fifty-third congress, was breveted brigadier general in the civil war, but Hon. D. li. Henderson never got higher in rank than colonel of the 46th Iowa infantry—has made the slightest change in him. He greeted all his friends, from President McKinley down to the humblest private citizen, in the same whole-souled way that has made him one of the most popular men that has ever sat in congress, and which probably also made him sure of becoming speaker of the house.

President is devoting much of

his time to the selection of officers for the new volunteer regiment, and hopes to complete the list this week. Governor Roosevelt spent a day and night in Washington, upon the President's invitation, for the purpose of giving his advice in regard to the appointment of some of these officers. The present expectation is that the new regiments will all be in service by August 15, as the recruiting, which was started to-day, will be rapidly pushed in all sections.

DAVIS,

Illinois, has not been in politics actively for some time, but he keeps a close watch on things in his state and is regarded as an authority. Of the political outlook he said: "We elect a governor in 1900, and being a presidential year, the Republican party will have a great advantage, seeing that the state ticket will almost surely carry witn the success of the national ticket. The two will go together. There is Bcareely a doubt of the continuance of Illinois in the Republican column."

and Hon. Jesse

Smith, of Utah, are in Washington trying to Becure official permission for the people of northwestern Utah to pasture their sheep on the Uinta reservation, embracingt875,000 acres, which was set apartjas a forestry reservation under the last ^Cleveland administration. Mr. Brown said on the subject: "People wonder atferime in the western country, and yet these immense reservations, covering thousands of acres, are left as regular hiding places for cut throats and outlaws of every character. These reservations, and especially those in the far west, bave practically no police protection, and it can be readily Been that if the government would^permit their use for pasturing our sheep, this would give the reservation {protection that it would not otherwise get." Speaking of politics Mr. iBrown »said that Bryanism was rapidly dying in the west and predicted that President McKinley would receive the electoral votes of Utah and Colorado,

latest tgessip concerning the

candidacy of John R. McLean, of Washingtoniand Cincinnati, for the Ohio Democratic gubernatorial nomination, which is now being openly pushed by §Mr. McLean himself, says that McLean has no idea of being elected governor of Ohio, but wishes to use the state Democratic machine and the prominence that may be acquired as a candidate to help him in his fight to prevent Bryan getting thi presidential nomination again. It was first said that McLean was after second place on the Bryan ticket, but it now seems that his nrinc'pal desire is that there shallsbe no Bryan ticket Incidentally he will iet it be kno vn to all the Democratic strikers that he is willing to put several of his millions in circulation to boost a McLean ticket. It is said that he&has never forgiven Mr. Bryan for objecting to his being given second place on the ticket in '96, and that he is determined to get even if possible.

Indianapolis News states that

Congressman Landis "indicates a desire to have rural free delivery routes spun all over the ninth district like a spider's web." This is a laudable ambition on the part of Mr. Landis. He has not failed during his congressional career to forward *for all it was worth any plan that promised to promote the welfare of his constituents.

England states spend mil

lions of dollars every year to plant trees and preserve what are already standing. Crawfordsville couccihnen seem bent and determined on cutting down magnificent forest monerchs in order to secure about fifty dollars. That's one difference between N"w England citizenship and the Crawfordsville council.

national committee thinks Brvari is getting to be too thick with Tammany. That is most unkind. It seems a bit like twitting on the fact that Bryan, through Hogg, is making a bid for Tammany friendship, to which the leaders do not cordially respond.

Uooriio imchey Hurt.

Tuesday night during the fire at Dr. Datchon's barn, Fireman George Fitchey met with an accident that may prove to be serious. Ho was entering the loft window when the little cupola that ornamented the top, fell through the roof and struck him on the head and neck. He went on with his work, however, and remained until the fire was over. After breakfast, however, his neck and shoulder began to pain him and a large lump formed on his neck near the shoulder. The pain finally became intolerable r.nd noon Mr. Fitchey went home and took to his bed. Dr. Davidson is attending to the case.

A Sudden Death.

Mrs. Martha McDaniel, wife of the Rev. J. F. McDaniel, of east Market street., died suddenly Tuesday night of apoplexy. She had seemed in her usual health lately and Tuesday retired without complaining of illness. Wednesday she was found dead in her bed, having expired some time during the night. Mrs. McDaniel was 09 years of age and was an excellent Christian woman. The funeral took place Thursday at Sedalia.

From Sylvan Valley News, Brevard, N.

We have known and used this medicine in our family for twenty years and ha~e always found it reliable. In many cases a dose of this remedy would save hours

Be 50,000,000

The Indianapolis grain dealers, by correspondence and to aome extent by personal observation, now that the cutting of wheat isjnearly over in this state, assert that Indiana's wheat crop will not exceed 17,000,000 to 18,000,000 bushels. The promise in February last, taking into consideration the extended acreage, indicated a yield of from 50,000,000 to 55,000,000 bushels. "I think," said a dealer, "the price of our new crop wili start in at 70 cents, and the millerB will take every bushel they can get. No Indiana wheat will be allowed to get away from this state if our millers can prevent it. The wheat buying season will be a short one, because of the great shortage in the yield. Many farmers will be surprised at the lightness of the crop when they thresh out their grain. The heads are poorly filled. Many fields will not pay to cut at all."

When the board passed on the assessments of the several townships it raised the assessment in Clark 25 per cent.

Crosby Examined In ruprcy at New York.

New York, July 12—Albert Crosby of Brewster, Mass., ^nd formerly rich and prominont in Chicago, where he owned Crosby's operahouse and the McAvoy Brewing company, was examined in bankruptcy proceedings here yesterday. In his petition he described his assets as consisting of a few old clothes. He lives in a handsome home on Cape Cod. Mrs. Crosby testified than she owns the estate at Brewster, has $160, 000 cash in bank, mortgages for $160,000 more, real estate valued at $50,000 and furniture and paintings valued at $12,000, beside her claim for $50,000 against Mr. Crosby for advances made by hsr to him. Mr. Crosby said he had owned nothing since 1875, when he gave his all to his wife. Since then he has lived by borrowing from her, he asserts. They usually spond the winters abroad and the summers at Brewster.

The examination was conducted before Referee L. B. Crane. Julius Lehmann is trustee for the alleged bankrupt's property and creditors were represented by Judge M. Winfield of Logansport, Ind., who is a state senator, and by Edgar A. Fellows of this city. Mr. Crosby was on the bond of David A. Gage, city treasurer of Chicago, who det'aultod in a very large sum. By buying timber lauds and making barrels in Indiana Mr. Crosby contracted debts of $30,000 in that state. Judgments were obtained against him in Indiana, and the city of Chicago also got judgment for $500,000. It was found he had no assets.

Ou examination yesterday ho said was very fond of his second wife and very grateful to her for saving many ot his most valuable paintings at the time of the fire. Therefore he gave her property. Real estate, railway and brewing stocks were all turned over to her. lie retained only his position as vice presi clout of the McAvoy Brewing company at a salary of §1,000 a month and traveled in Europe. Four years ago Judge Winlield, while spending a summer on Cane Cod, was taken to Brewster to see some of the show places there. Among others was tho Crosby art gallery and his attention was attracted to Bierstadc's "In the Yosemite," which he had seen often in Chicago.
