Only a Regular.
Slowly some of tbe individual acta
of heroism performed in the Spanish*
American war ar« attracting attention.
We noticed one thefother day which
appears to us as one of the most
touching incidentii of which we have
ever read. Tbe name of tbe hero was
Blair, and be was a regular soldier
He was shot through tbe groin at El
Caney. Beside him, shot down in
worse fix than he was, were two vol*
unteer soldiers from New York. Not
so very fsr off up a tall tree a Spanish
sharpshooter had ensconsed himself
and wss firing at the three wounded
men. The first shot cut a lock ol hair
from Blair’s forehead. Tbe next shot
struck ooe of the New Yorkers in tbe
shoulder.
Blair slowly raised himself, brought
his gun quickly to his shoulder and
fi*ed. Tbe Spanish soldier fell dead
Blair put dovn bis gun ar.d crawled
terribly wounded aa he was, to whsre
the dead Spaniard lay, nine hundred
feet away, secured hie canteen, and
crawled back tbe nine hundred feet.
He never touched the water himself.
He lifted up tbe head of one of the
New Yorkers and poured half of the
waler down his parched throat.
Then he lifted up the bead of the
other and poured the rest down his
throat.*
"I’m a regular,” he said, “you fel*>
lows have homes!”
Then he fell back dead.
He was only a regular. We don’t
know anything about thfe past life of
thia man. But aomehow we think
that, watching this act of splendid be*
roism, the recording angel dropped a
tear upon whatever biota there may
have been and wiped them all away.
Pitt's Carminative is pleasant to the
taste, acts promptly, and never foils to
give satisfaction. It carries children over
the critical time of toething, and is the
friend of anxious mothers and puny
children. A few doses will demonstrate
its value. E. H. Dorsey, Athens, Ga.,
writes: “I consider it the best medicine I
have ever used in my family. It does all
you claim for it, and even more.”
CHANGE OF FIRli.
I have this day sold my restaurant and
meat market to P. 8. Parmalee, who will
hereaitcr conduct the business at No. 8
Solomon street, and I hope that my friends
and the public will extend to him the
same liberal patronage for which I have to
thank them in the past. All accounts due
both these places are collectible by me
and I would be glad that they be paid
promptly. * D. A. Oxfobd.

Tbe Republicans whose terms ex*

Tbe Democrats will lose 15 seats,

Bailey On the Stump.
If tbe Republicans ever entertained
the idea that tbe Democrats bad no
political capital on which to conduct
a congressional campaign this fall
they have been made aware of their
mistake by Mr. Bailey, tbe leader of
tbe minority of tbe House. In hie
speech at Chatham, Va., on Monday,
he made it quite apparent that the
Republicans have made themselves
respuaible for many serious blunders
in tbe management of the war, par?
liculary that part of the management
which retries to the finances. He
pointed out that tbe people have been
burdened unnecessarily with taxes—
that there was no necessity for such a
large bond issue nor for tbe imposition
of such heavy addition in taxes.
It is evident that the Democrats in
tend to carefully and critically review
the financial features of the war in
the campaign this fall. There is no
doubt that they offer splendid oppor*
tunities for scathing criticism.
Tbe people are already restive under
the stamp tax. It would not be sur
prising if a strong effort should be
made next winter to have the tax re
pealed. If tho democrats are as aggres
sive this fall as they should be, and
push tbe fighting along tbe line sug
gested by Mr. Bailey, they will come
very near, if they do not succeed, in
capturing the next House. —Savannah

Burled la She Well Where He Bled.
Speaking of strange and sad occur
rences, none could be more remarkable
than the death and burial of Charles
Carter, a wall known farmer residing
near Russell. He was cleaning out an
old well when the quicksand suddenly
caved in on him, leaving only his head
and chest exposed. When the alarm
was given, hundreds of people assem
bled and went heroically to work to
save their neighbor. It was found that
nothing could be done toward removing
the sand about Carter’s body, so a par
allel well was dug and a tunnel run
from it into the old well, but even theh
the body could not be removed so close
ly was it grasped by the sands. It was
found that a rope attached below Car
ter’s arms would pull the body into
parts without withdrawing its covered
portion, and that method had to be
abandoned. Carter was conscious and
talked With his rescuers, but at the end
of 68 hours he died. By this time an
enormous crowd had gathered, and all
aorta of plans were suggested for recov
ering the body, but finally it was de
termined to make the well the dead
man’s tomb, and it was filled up after
religious services had been held upon
its brink. Tbe well was 48 feet deep,
and perhaps no other Kansan ever found
quite ao strange a burial place.—Kan
