Major John G. Ballanc?, who has been
acting as inspector on the w/aff of Genera!
Bates, and Lieutenant I). S. ?*anley, aide
de-camp to the general, “left yesterday
noon to join their regiment, the Twenty
second infantry at Fort McCook, near
Omaha, Beb., and wiM w with it to the
Philippines some time in January. Both
of these officers have made many friends
since being in Macon, the good wishes of
whom follow them to their far-distant
destination.
Major H. L. Scott, assistant adjutant
g< neral of the Second division. First corps,
and Major W. Michalson, chief ordnance
officer of the s&me division, were over
from Xmericu.- Sunday night to confer
with General Bates relative to the rnove
miut. of that division to Cuba.
The Signal corps, which are err-amped
opposite the Second Ohio, are the only
soldiers here who have ihe regulation
winter quarters. Two tents are placed
end to end. and a small wooden shanty is
built between them, in which is placed a
stove. Thus the heat from one stove
warms two tents.
Bakeries are being erected in every reg
iment, but it i- doubtful if they will be
completed in time to be used before the
troops are ordered away.
SECOND OHIO.
The soldiers had a double Christmas.
Both Sunday and Monday was celebrated
as such by them. It was ihe fir.-:; Christ
mas they had epent together as soldiers,
and they made the best of it. Out in the
Second Ohio Sunday was observed as a
feast day. nearly every company having a
big turkey dinner. A News reporter ac
cepted the hospitality of Captain \V. J.
White and dined with company K. The
menu was on° worthy to grace the boards
of any first-class hotel, and was appetis
ing to say the least. Monday afternoon
the largest crowd that has visited the regi
ment since it has been at .Macon, were out
there and the ladies were strongly in the
majority. Colonel Kuert had given the
boys a holiday. There had been no drills
or any kind of work al! day, and it was the
intention not to hold dress parade in The
evening, but when he saw trie crowd that
ha I come out to see his regiment, he hated
to disappoint them, and the parade was
held, much to the pleasure of the visitors.
Sunday afternoon the officers of the reg
iment called in a .body at the residence of
General Wilson an 1 paid their respect,?. It
was one of the pleasant little things that
inaks up a gnat man's daily life, and the
general appreciated it.
Chaplain C\ B. Crawford is still quite
indisposed. He is a sufferer from asthma.
Owing to the contemplate d early de
parture of the regiment for Cuba, ful
loughs are exceedingly hard to get, but a
few have been granted for seven days
each. They are as follows: Private* Henry
O’Brien, Willis Troxel, company C. and
Thomas E. Hance, band, to Lima: Thomas
E. Mullen and Charles O. Decker, com
pany D. to Van Wert: and Nat. P. Cook,
company 1, to Kenton.
PROVOST QUARTERS.
The new provost marshal. 'Major Hayes,
has already instituted some radical
changes and around the provost guard
barracks. Yesterday he reduced the num
ber of posts, almost half, and substituted
a patrol instead, thus lightening the work
the men have hail to perform. It is also
rumored that the summary court, whiuh
has been trying prisoners charged with
petty violations of the regulations, is to
be abandoned, an 1 all prisoners sent to
their respective regiments for trial here
after. *
Some thirty mtn from the three Ohio
eolnpanies which have been on provost
duty, and about a dozen from the Engi
neer company there, nave been detached
from thi ir cdnlmands. and will go with the
division headquarters to Cuba.

CAMP HASKELL.
The depredations of the ne°ro soldiers
have become -o numerous of late that it
has been necessary to convene two court
martials at Gamp Haskell to try the of
fenders. The old court, which tried sev
! eral murder cases last week., reconvened
yesterday morning, and started work on a
; docket of eleven-new cases. Another court
martial has been organized, and commen
i ced its work yesterday, also. The ro.:t-r
of the court is as follows:
| Lieutenant Colonel Richard C. Croxtom,
I Sixth Virginia volunteer infantry.
Captain W. D. Hammond, Seventh Uni-
■ ted States volunteer infantry.
Captain S. S. Janney, Seventh United
« States volunteer infantry.
Captain Crandal Mackey. Tenth United

, United States volunteer infantry.
First Lieutenant R. C. L. Moncure. Sixth
’ ' Virginia volunteer infantry.
Captain William G. Chaffee, Tenth Uni
. ' ted States volunteer infantry, judge advo
! i eate.
The officers of the Sixth Virginia and
■ ; Third North Carolina do not like the idea
of being mustered out, and are sending
numerous telegrams and letters to their
; representatives in congress, protesting
i i against the action of the military authori
; ties. They say their men come out to see
Cuba, and that it would be an imposition
[ to send them home, just* when they had
? evety reason to believe they were about
to see the “Promised Land.." The object
, of the officers is obvious.
SECOND OHIO NOTES.
Camp Fornanc*. Ga.. Dec. 25.—Christ
mas passed off quietly with the members
, of the Second Ohio. Several companies in
[ the regiment had streets decorated, how
i ever, and they put up an elegant apnear
| ance. Among the best were companies K
I i and C. The mess hails were also fixed up
: ! and decorated in a lovely manner, and
i nearly every company in the regiment en
j joyed a Christmas dinner of turkey. Com
pany C.’s bill of fare could not have been
i beaten, and from reports the dinner was
> • very fine. Some “grub” from Ohio was
also enjoyed, as several boxes were sent
from friend* and relatives in that state.
i Presents also arrived and many a heart
was gladdened by some token of love from
a distant friend or relative.
Company G. has taken up its quarters
■ in those made vacant by company D, and
i now the two companies from Ke.nton,
Ohio, enjoy the pleasure of each others'
: presence. During its stay at. Macon, the
ccmyany has made an excellent record.
Captain Deming is a soldier in all that
the word implies. an<X under his military
i rule h is added new honors to the already
long list of company G. Company D. Is
one of the best companies in the regiment,
and we predict for it a record as good as
that attained by its p’redecessor.
A large number of passes were issued
Sunday and several of the boys took din
ner with their friends in the city.
Captain Lafferty, of company A, was
presented with a golden cord and tassel
for his sword, and he ’in " turn passed
around the cigars. The captain is a pop
ular officer with bis men.
Upper Sandusky sent company 8.. of
that town SSO for a Christmas dinner.
Suffice it to say. they had a good dinner
and did justice to the occasion.
The guards are now compelled to pay
more attention to guard duty. A sentinel
is not allowed to stand idle at his post,
but instead must keep constantly on the
move, as we did at Chickamauga. How
ever. the men make no objection, but in
stead seem to be pleased that such is the
case.
Colonel Kuert says the regiment will go
to Cuba, and that it will leave here in ten
days or two weeks. He was in conversa
tion with an official high in authority a
day or so ago and learned that we would
be sent to the island as soon as the Sixth
Ohio and Thirty-firs: Michigan regiments
were disposedb of.
The Second will doubtless be on its way
to Cuba within two weeks.
Adjutant Albright, acting regimental
' adjutant, is making an excellent record
for himself. He is very strict with the
’ ays a; guard mour:. and the guard now
make an excellent appearance. They come
out with their shoes shined and they all
appear so well, he finds much difficulty in
selecting the orderlies.

Deadly Cancer
Cured at Last!
Do Not Give Up in De
spair—There is Hope!
F"P ages it has been thought
that Cancer is incurable, and
'Lu.'p-o unfortunate as to have)
1 his dreadful affiictiou have con
-idered themselves beyond hope of 1
recovery. The doctors are ab
solutely unable to afford any re
lief, and the poor sufferer might
well consider himself on the >vay
I to an early grave.
» It is now easy to see why the
i J.octors have failed to cure Cancer.
> I'heir theories have been all wrong,
: and hence their treatment mis
; directed. They have made the
mistake of thinking that by cut
-1 l ing out the sore or ulcer, known
as Cancer, the disease would be
•rotten rid of, and the patient re
stored to health. But the cruel
knife accomplishes nothing, for
1 1 he Cancer promptly returns.and is
always more virulent than before.
Irhas been demonstrated, beyond
iloubt, that Cancer is a blood disease,
and can not be cured by the surgeon’s
knife because the blood can not be cut
"Several years ago my wife had an i
ulcer on her tongue, which, though an
; joying, was not regarded seriously at
jrst. It refused to heal and began to
trow, giving her much pain. The doc
