For years I was a constant sufferer from weak lungs and bronchial asthma. My rest at night was disturbed by a hacking cough, so that I felt miserable the greater part of the time. Many remedies recommended by friends were tried, none of which proved suitable to my case I did not experience any beneficial results until I began taking Chambrlain’s Cough Remedy. After two bottles of the large size have ceen used 1 am pleased to state, my health is better than it has been for years. The sorness has left my lungs and chest and I can breathe easily.

INDIANA TO THE FRONT Colonel Walker of Indianapolis Is Elected Commander-In-Chief. WILL MEET IN ST, PAUL. Buffalo Tried Hard to Get the Next Meeting of the Veterans, but the Saintly City Was Too Strong For Them. Encampment Proper and the Ladles* Societies Transact Business. Louisville, Sept. 13.—The 30th national encampment <jf the G. A. R. will be held in St. Wul in 1896 with Colonel I. N. Walker of Indianapolis as commander-in-chief. The encampment proper, the Woman’s Relief corps and the Ladies’ circle, eijch held all day meetings yesterday. The gentlemen of the encampment almost completed their work, while the ladies of the two auxiliaries did not get much done. There has been considerable agitation about uniting them in this year of reunited brotherhood and citizenship, but the ladies of the auxiliaries are as far apart as ever, and in spirit, if not in purpose, they will remain divided. The Ladies circle devoted the day to reports and in discussions thereof for the perfection and extension of their organization. The Woman’s Relief corps had the trouble between the factions of Mrs. Clark and Mrs. Sherwood at Canton, 0., to adjust. Mrs. Tyler, wife of the mayor of Louisville, delivered a fine address of welcome to the city, as did Mrs. General S. B. Buckner to the state and the south. The confederate veterans, notably General Gordon, General Buckner and Mr. Watterson, took part again in the receptions and campfires, praising the good will that had brought peace in reality as well as in name. After delivering welcome addresses during the day, Mr. Watterson last night delivered his lecture on "Abraham Lincoln,” and tonight General Gordon delivers his lecture on "The Last Days of the Confederacy,” in both of which lectures the ex-soldiers take great interest. General Buckner is kept busy in being called to address campfires. Today the blue and gray met in a grand barbecue tendered by the latter to their guests, and tonight’s programmes for the different campfires are very elaborate. Indiana Gets the Commander-In-Chief. After the selection of St. Paul as the place for next year’s meeting, W. A. Ketcham of Indiana presented the name of Colonel Ivan N. Walker of Indianapolis for Commander-in-chief, as a representative of that fearless and sturdy loyalty that rescued the nation. He had fought at Richmond, Penryville and other places, and suffered in prison. T. S. Clarkson of Nebraska said his department had presented his name as -a candidate for commander-in-chief. He would, however, decline to be a candidate against Comrade Walker, and mbved that the rule s be suspended and the adjutant general be directed to cast the unanimous vote of the encampment for Comrade Walker. Mr. Clarkson’s action produced a thunder of applause. The motion prevailed with a hurricane of cheers. When order was at length restored Commander Lawler formally declared Colonel Walker elected. He directed some comrades to escort the new commander to the platform, which was done midst enthusiastic shouts and cheers of the old veterans on all sides. Colonel Walker, in thanking the comrades, said that he deeply felt the high compliment which they had bestowed upon him in electing him to the highest office within theif gift. He felt almost oppressed at the thought of succeeding such a long line of able men who had filled the office. He would, however, devote his entire energies to performing his duties. 1 i GENERAL SCHOFIELD’S TRIP. Will Take a Swing Around the Circle and Attend Reunion*. Washington, Sept. 13.—General J. M. Schofield, lieutenant general of the United States army, accompanied by his personal staff and a party of friends, will leave Washington on Monday, Sept. 16, for Cincinnati, and from there will go direct to Chattanooga to attend the dedication ceremonies of the Chickamauga National park on Sept. 18, 19 and 30, and thence to Atlanta, Ga., to participate in 'the reunion of the blue and gray at the Cotton States exposition on Sept. 21. Green Men at Train Rubbing. Kinmundy, Ills., Sept. 13.—Train robbers made an attempt to rob the northbound Illinois Central express train about two miles north of this city. The bandits were three in number and were riding on the platform of the express car and were evidently green at the business. They cut the bellcord and then attacked the car door with a sledge hammer. Hearing the noise the messenger applied the airbrake and brought the tram to a stop. This fngntenea tnQ, robbers, who jumped off and escaped. Train Held Up In Oklahoma. I Woodward, Sept. 13.—Yesterday afternoon at Curtis station, 13 miles east of here, the eastbound passenger train on the Santa Fe was held up by four men who piled ties on the track and compelled the section men to flag the train. Two men went through the express car, but they got nothing. They were in quest of the government money expected to pay Captain Barrett’s company of the Tenth infantry now staitioned here. A posse is in pursuit of the robbers. Vice President Stevenson Will Preside. Bloomington, Ills., Sept. 13.—Vice jPresident Stevenson has accepted an (invitation to preside upon the occasion of the dedication of the National park at Chickamauga battlefield Sept. 19 and 30, and he departs for the south next Monday.

The surface, as described, is first ground either by the sand blast or the ordinary method, and is then covered with a sort of varnish; on being dried, either in the sun or by artificial heat, the varnish contracts strongly, taking with it the particles of glass, to which It adheres, and as the contraction takes place along definite lines, the pattern produced by the removal of the particles of glass resembles very closely the branching crystals of frost work. The pattern may be varied in character by changing the thickness of the film of varnish, a single coat giving a small, delicate effect, while a thin film, formed by putting on two, three, or more coats, contracts so strongly as to produce a large and bold design; by using colored glass, a pattern in half tint may be made on the colored ground.

The Androscoggin, In Maine, was originally the Amprlscoggln, "the high Ash place.” The Arst two syllables were changed In compliment to Sir Edmund Andros. Forty-seven different spellings are given as recorded by the early settlers. The Colorado River was named by the Spaniards, from a word In their language meaning ruddy or red, an allusion to the tint of the water. La Salle Arst named the river Maligne (misfortune), one or two of his party having been drowned in Its current The Ohio was so called from an Iroquois word Oheo, meaning "beautiful." It appears on various early maps as the Albacha, Cubach, O-o, Ochlo, Sabogungo, Causlssepplone, Kltono-cepe, Ohulpeekhanna, Ohul, Opeck, AlUwege-Sepe, Oheezuh, Hohlo and Youghlogheny. The French Broad, in North Carolina, was called by the Indians Tockyeste, “the little roarer." It received Its present name from the early settlers, who called it so on account of its width at one place, and because the country to the west was then claimed by the French.

B AHMY VETERANS? Encampment Completed Al! Its Work Yesterday and Adjourned. COMMITTEE ON PENSIONS. Report Reed by Comm«nder-I«-Chlet Walker—‘Want a Ju«t and Liberal Con* ■traction pf the Preeent Law*—Seventy Thousand People Attend the Barbecue. Irvin Bobbin* to Be Adjutant General. Louisville; Sept. 14.—50 far as the veterans are concerned the 29th annual encampment closed last night with as many attractions as on any other night of the week. The ladies, however, will continue in session today. There were over 70,000 at the old Kentucky barbecue and at night the campfires were largely attended, with the principal events at Phoenix Hill garden, Music hall and National park. Among the speakers were Generals Gordon, Buckner, J. W. Burke and Cassius M. Clay, Senator Burrows, Cq|onels M. D. Wickersham',' Samuel McKee, H. C. Russell, John H. Leathers and others. The veterans remain longer than usual this week, as many are going to other army events further south and on to the Atlanta exposition. General Lawler and staff leave tomorrow night to spend the first part of the week at the national encampment of the Sons of V eterans and the last of the week at Chattanooga and the Chickamauga battlefield. Report of Committee on Pension*. Commander-in-Chief Walker read the report of the committee on pensions, which, after reviewing the work accomplished by the soldiers of the Union during the war and the laws passed in their behalf, says: In somq quarters the pensioning of old soldiers has come to be looked upon in the light of a burden, instead of a patriotic privilege, as it should appear, when viewed in its true character. Deferring to this view, wholly unworthy of a great and patriotic people, constructions have been put upon the laws, wise and just in themselves, by and under which burdens and restrictions have been Imposed upon those illy able to stand up under them. The just provisions authorized have been grudgingly doled out as though the laws passed in the interests of the pensioner, as a just recognition of the obligations of the country, were criminal laws, to be strictly construed, and the public beneficiaries thereof were public enemies or parasites, seeking unjust admission to the treasury of the United States. After commenting further upon the justice of the pension laws and the purpose for which they were passed, the report continues: We demand for our comrades the just treatment which the country gladly concedes. No niggardly cutting down of pensions under the guise of reissues; no partial and grudging allowances that cut here and pare there Will meet the full measure of duty the country owes to its surviving heroes. Nothing short of full measure, dealt with an honest hand and a liberal heart, will ever meet with the approbation of the American people. For this we appeal to the grateful, patriotic sentiment of the whole people, and we earnestly believe that our appeal will not be in vain. Against Long Parade*. The encampment placed itself on record as not being in favor of long marches and parades, and hereafter that feature may be omitted. Several committees were ordered appointed, among which was one to arrange for the erection of a monument in Washington to commemorate the services Os the loyal women during the war. a A resolution was adopted empowering the commander-in-chief and council of administration to change the place of holding the next encampment should the railroads or hotels not make satisfactory rates. A resolution was adopted recommending that congress should pass a law equalizing the pensions of war widows so that all shall receive at least |l2 a month. Some of them are now receiving from $8 to $lO a month. Previous to adjournment, Command-er-in-Chief Walker .announced that he would not name his staff until next week. He will issue an order appointing it from Indianapolis. Commander-in-Chief I. N. Walker issued his first order last night. It reads as follows: Having been elected commander-in-chief of the G. A. R. At the twenty-ninth national encampment held at Louisville, 1 hereby assume command. Headquarter* will be established at Indianapolis, Ind. I. N. Walker, Commander-in-Chief. While it is true that Commander-in-Chief Walker will not announce the names of the men he intends to appoint upon his staff until next week, he told an intimate friend that he intended to appoint General Irvin Robbins, now adjutant general of the Indiana National Guard, as his adjutant general. Quartermaster General Burst will also be retained for the present. No other appointments of staff officers will be announced for several weeks. The social event of the Grand Army encampment was the reception and ball given by the Louisville ladies to the Grand Army visitors last night. Over 4,000 invitations were issued, and to judge by the crowd in attendance, every one responded in person. The beautiful half was tastefully decorated with lilk flags and tropical plants were artistically arranged about the place. Mr*. Lease Ha* Another Scheme. Wichita, Kan., Sept. 14.—Mary E.
