SENSATIONAL ORDER GENERAL M. A. DILLON CREATES A STIR IN UNION VETERANS’ UNION. Org.ulaatlou ot the Republic of Central America—Navy Department Feels the Ktfevts of the Gold Excitement—lndiana Postmasters. Washington, Aug. 2.—-Something of a sensation has been created in the ranks of Union Veterans’ union, by an order from General M. A. Dillon, recently appointed provisional department commander of the department of the Potomac. suspending the officers and delegates of W. S. Hancock and John A. Logan commands from all the rights and privileges of the union until they comply with certain orders recently issued by the department commander. The members ot the commands affected say they will pay no heed to the order. The difficulty arises out of dissatisfaction with an order received from the commander-in-chief of the union, conveying the informatirn that the Washington commandery of the U. V. U. had been alienated from the department ot the Potomac. A protest against the order is now pending and will be decided at the meeting of the national encampment. next mouth. General Dillon’s order also suspends the colonel of John A Logan command (H. L. Street! until he furnishes evidence of his eligibility to membership, which requires service at the front during the war. The latter’s friends say he can furnish this satisfactorily. SISTER REPUBLIC. Organization of the New (rovernioent Reported to State Department. Washington, July 30. —A report has been received from William Meyers Little, United States consul at Tecuigalpa, Honduras, inclosing a copy of the treaty that has been signed by the representatives of five Central American states or republic of Guatemala, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras and Salvador. It goes into effect Sept. 15. The Union is named the Republic of Central America and the countries forming it will now take the names of states. Last year when the republics of Honduras, Nicaragua and Salvador formed themselves into the “Greater Republic” of Central America, provision was made for the admission of Guatemala aud Costa Rica, which has now been ac- ' complished. The treaty is similar to | that made last year, except that its provisions are extended and considerable legislation is enacted in it for the government of tne new republic. The republic has the power to nominate diplomatic and consular officers and to receive foreign envoys and give exequatur to foreign consuls, to issue passports to ministers and envoys of foreign nations and to withdraw exequatur of consuls. The confederation is called the “Republic of Central America.” The government of the new republic ! is vested in a chief states, who is elected from each of the states in their alphabetical order and shall hold office for one year. A council composed of two representatives from each state with the chief of states shall constitute the government. Alliances of defense and preservation for all the states are proI vided and the expense of government | and of war are to be assessed by the council. Public Debt Statement.

I h»ve h»d two years’ experience with crimson clover. August 1, 1895, I sowed an acre. I lint fitted the ground carefully and sowed with turnips. I got a good stand, but the following March it was killed completely. As the wheat in antadjoining field aud all through this county, unless protected by timber or hills on the west, was killed at the sime time, I concluded to give the crimson clover another trial. In 1896 I sowed two pieces, one of 1 ot an acre, from which I took a crop of raspberries, cut the canes, fitted the the ground and sowed August 1, eight quarts of seed. This piece was near the barn, and from the time it came up until the time it was cut was a favorite pasture for all the poultry. Also durthe winter whenever not covered with snow, seven light lambs run on it. June 1, I cut one ton of good hav from it. It was short on account of being pastured so much. The other piece was a little over five acres. It grew wheat in 1895, and was seeded at that time. The catch was not good. In July of 1896 the ground was fitted and a peck of seed sown per acre the last of the month. This against winter was about six inches in height and covered the ground well. June 28 it was cut for seed, threshed July 2 and 3. Yielded from machine fortv-six bushels. When cleaned ready for market there will probably be forty bushels. Now the conclusions I draw are. that when we get to understand this clover it will have its place on the faim the same as any other crop. It will not take the place of the medium any more than buckwheat will take the place of wheat, but to sow in corn at last working, or if spring seeding fails, or for fall and winter pasture, if the fall is favorable, I believe it has no superior. Do you ask why would not the common clover do as well? My answer is that the crimson comes up quicker, grows faster, and the early frosts do not stop its growth, but it grows until the ground is frozen, and even during the winter if it is open weather, as it frequently is, it continues its growth. If the stand is good I believe it will winter as well ax wheat. Its root-growth is quite different, from that of the other clover —more like white clover.—J. W. Allison. Mercer Co., Pa. Reflections of a Bachelor. A kiss in time saved mine. A man’s true epitaph can be read only in his wife's face. Love was born in an insane asylum and brought up in an incubator. Probably babies talk so funny because they are guying their mothers. Women talk a lot about marrying for a home because it sounds better than to talk about marrying for a husband. Women are like bees—whenever you see one it suggests either honey or a sting. Love is a little, innocent faced child, and marriage is the same child grown up to be an old rounder.—New York Press.

Cancer Os the Face. Mrs. Laura E. Mims, of Smithville.Ga., says: “A small pimple of a.strawberry color appeared on my cheek; it soon began to grow rapidly, notwithstanding all efforts to check it. My e Y e became terribly A inflamed, and was so Jy swollen that for quite WF a while I could not 7T see. The doctors said I had Cancer of the most malignant type, and after exI hausting their efforts i " without doing me any good, they gave lup the case as hopeless. When informed that my father had died from the same disease, they said I must die, as hereditary Cancer was incurable. “At this crisis, I was advised to try S.S.S., and in a short while the Cancer : began to discharge and continued to do I so for three months, then it began to I heal. I continued the medicine a while j longer until the Cancer disappeared en- ! tirely. This was several years ago and ; there has been no return of the disease.” A Real Blood Remedy.

HOW TO FIND OUT. Fill a bottle or common glass with urine and let it stand twenty-four hours; a sediment or settling indicates an unhealthy condition of the kidneys, when urine stains linen it is evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate or pain in the back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order. WHAT TO DO. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy fulfils every wish in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times during the night to urinate. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best. Sold by druggists, price fifty cents and one dollar. You may have a sample bottle and pamphlet both sent free by mail.
