WAR NEWS.
As The Record goes to press ttie
combined forces of both the army and
navy are concentrated against Santi
ogo, and the complete annihilation of
that city and the capture of the Span¬
ish troops is certain.
Gen.Shafter has notified tiie nrmy
officials at Washington that lie can
knock the city into atoms witli light
guns, and is pourng a deadly fire into
the city and trendies.
The force under the command of
Shaffer in the present engoge
ment U 22 ’ 8,W men>
Tiie principal event of the past week
in war circles was the release of Lieut.
Uobson and bis seven comrades from
Morro castle, the Spanish prison in
Santiago de Cuba. One officer of
equal rank with Hobson was ex¬
changed for him, while two common
Spanish soldiers were given up for
each of file'seven brave seamen who
faced almost sure death when they ran
tiie Merrimac into the narrow ent¬
rance of the harbor of Santiago and
sank Iter. Tiie Kougli Hitlers being in
the tront trenches were tiie first to see
the released men, and ran to them and
hugged and kiised them, lifted them
on their shoulders and carried them
up and down the line.
Commodore Watson is ready to sail
for Spain with ids squadron, and ere
this week’s Record reaches some of its
readers Admiral Camara and his Span¬
ish fleet will doubtless be playing a
game of hide-and-seek near the mouth
of the Suez canal, hunting for a hole
to crawl into.
Gen. Miles, commander-in-chief of
the United States army, is in active
command of his forces, and will per¬
sonally conduct an attnck on San
Juan, Porto ltico, immediately. Should
this expedition prove successful, (and
there is little doubt of it in the minds
of the average American) tiie entire
army and navy will be concentrated
against Havana. At least this is the
plan outlined by the powers that be in
Washington, and yet there are all
kinds of rumors of peace being de¬
clared. Really, propositions have been
made by both sides looking to that
end, but all were declined. The in¬
habitants of Santiago are reported to
be starving, and many women and
children have gone into tiie American
lines, asking for protection and some¬
thing to eat. Evidences of Cervera’s
complete loss of his tleet are becoming
more apparent daily, and the late dis¬
patches give harrowing accounts of
dismembered bodies floating ashore—
arms, legs, heads, and other portions
of human anatomy that the sharks
failed to get, are seen at alt t.imss.
Hungry vultures swrrtn the beach for
miles, and altogether tiie aoaounts are
too sickening to be retold.
Ilobson says he and hi* men were
well treated while in prison, which is
a surprise to iis all.

THE STRANGER WHO RIZ UP.
A mile outside of Groversville I
met four men, who were carrying
fifth on a door, and a natural
curiosity prompted me to ask how
the victim had been injured.
“Wall, stranger.” replied one of
the four, “thrt’s my sou Ben and
I reckon I can give it to ye straight.
Me and Ben was up to Groversville
this mawuin’ to get a pa’r o’ bates
was butes we went fur, wasn’t
it, Bear
“Yes, pop,” faintly replied the
man on the door, as he op¬
his eyes and looked around.
“We went into a stoh and nsked
butes, and in that stob was a
lookin’ critter who was
crackers, and cheefiaand ask
* tho w , y to p inevU l 0 He
. was
- } )mnb ie-lookhi’ cri tter, wasn’t he,
-
'’ as „
“it wasn’t ’, none o’ Ben „ ’a , bixncss .
that criUiy, . . ., continued the
man, “but lie was foeliii 3 colly
kinder wanted to do sutiMhiii’
He look* the man over and
ten sc*z to me:
“Pop, I’m gom' to skeer that
outer this town and half way
tho mounting.’
“As how?” sez I. :
>ii his caiy k-z he". |
“Mahbe he’ll skeer and mebbe
he won’t, sez I. ‘lie looks pow¬
erful lonesome and down-hearted,
but yo’ can’t alius tell l.ow a crit¬
ter will perform.’ That’s vvhatyou
said and I said, wasn’t it, Ben?’’
“That’s what we said,” sighed
Ben.
“I didn’t want you to yell, bpt
you felt colty and wouldn’t take
my advice?”
“I jest wanted to skeer him,
pop.”
“Yes, you wanted to skeer him.
Yon got around behind him and
drawed a long breath and let ‘er
go. It was a mighty yell, Ben—
the powerfullest yell I ever
heard. I’m braggin’ about that
yell, Ben.”
“Thankee, pop.”
“But it didn’t skeer nobody, like
you thought it would. The strang¬
er jest riz up slow, drawed a pistol
from behind, and the fust tiling
you knowed you had three bullets
into ye. He riz up slow, didn’t he,
Ben?”
“He did”
“And he fired three bullets into
your karkass and walked out doalis
with his crackers and cheesi, and
said you could bev more lead if
you hankered fur it?”
“Yes, pop he said that,” whis¬
pered Ben.
“But he didn’t want no more,”
continue ! the father as ho turned
to me. “He’d got all he wanted
and some to spare, and so we put
him on a doali and ar’ talcin’ him
home fur the doctor to work at.
Mebbe lie’ll die and mebbe he’ll
git well. If he dies I shan’t blame
that bumble-lookin' critter ‘tall, if
lie gits well he won’t never do no
more yellin’ in anybody’s ear on
less thar’s a handy hill to dodge
behind. That’s all—let the pur
ceshun move on.”
ITEMS OP INTEREST.
As soon as the cockerels begin
to crow s opera to them from the
pullets. They will thrive better,
and besides, they require different
feed.
If the young chicks are confined
in barren yards give them plenty
of cabbage, lettuce or grass from
the lawn. They will relish it for
a change,
Don’t let the chicks roost witli
the old fowls until at least three
months old. Their breast bones
are tender and will become crooked
if permitted to sit on the roost.
If young broods are cooped foi
th* first month it gives the chick
two chances to reach maturity
whore it would have but one if
miming about while young and
tender.
Sunshine is the best medicine
for poultry as well as men. If the
house is dark and gloomy, the fowls
will stay out of it even in tho^vorst
weather. Nothing likes sunshine
more than poultry.
Cholera among chickens is a di¬
sease which is a result of the poor
conditions which surround them.
With good foot!, fresh, pure water,
daily clean quarters and a good
range, it seldom gets a foothold.
Lice sap the blood from the
chickens, and cause restlessness of
ights; and on mornings fowls
come from the roost feverish anu
thirsty. They drink too much,
and sit around and soon get indi¬
gestion. They take cold easily
when their systems are so impaired,
and the cold, if let alone, runs into
roup.
Eight thousands earlier pigeons,
all well trained, are in use in the
German army,.
Sheep, thrive beat in a pasture
where wolves are numerous. The
wolvft holes serve to drain the laud.
In the regular army about 25
per cent are foreigners, in the na¬

and 42 per cent of the seamen are
of foreign born.
Artificial teeth made of paper
