It Is hardly Hkey now that Captain WlUls' company will get away befori Monday. The mlDlmum enrolment is one hundred men, and last night there were sixty-live on the roster, which la certain to be Increased, probably to th# maximum. 103 men, by this evening. The company will not move until the quota Is received and strong efforts will be made to complete all arrangements to-day for the move to Camp Atkinson, next Monday. Some delay was caused by the recent order for the re-examination of the men, os this necessitated an additional amount of work, tilling- new forms, and examining most of the recruits twice. Not all those who passed the temporary examination have come to be examined again, and sworn In. therefore Captalo Willis desires that these men do so to-, day. He und Lieutenants Morris and tester will be at the Hub building to day to receive recruits, between the following hours: 8:30 to 12 a. m ? 2 to 6 | P. m., and 7:30 to S p. m. Should It happen that enough men are secured this morning, the Com pany may leave this evening, but It Is more likely that they will leave on Monday. There is yet room for several men, and all desiring to enlist with Un cle. Sam should be on hand to-day Since the company will hardly leave be fore Monday, It win likely accept thf In vitation ct Secretary J. c. Lynch, to at ?tend the services at the Y. il. C. A.

One peculiar thing I noticed late yes terday afternoon while crossing Kansas wao that the houses for tho most part were made of mud, and looked to be very substantial buildings. Tho Royal Canon, of which I spoke bfore. Is the place where tho pitched battle took place a number of years ago between two railroad companies, both of whom bad rushed to the place to lay their tracks.

M The.Wheellng boys in Captain Franz lielm's'company of imrWunes, at Camp Pettlt, Fredericksburg, Va., are get ting along splendidly, and their com pany?Company G?Is said to lay all the other companies in the shade for ap pearance and deportment. This Is no idle boast, but Is the unanimous opin ion of all who' have visited' the camp, and the Wheeling boys are consequent ly highly elated. The Fredericksburg people are treating the boys in fin# style. The bill of fare sent to this city by one cf the company Is in strong contrast vto the fare soldiers got in the Inte war, and It shows that Uncle Sam is talking care that his bravo sons are well fed. The-biU of fare at Camp Pettlt is as fol lows: Breakfast?Beefsteak and gravy, cof fee, bread, hard-tack. . Dinner?Baked beans, bacon, onions, coffee, bread, hard-tack. Supper?Beefsteak, potatoes, dressing, lettuce, coffee, bread, hard-tack. THE DAY NURSERY. The day nursery, so successfully con ducted by the King's Daughters of the city, will be closed during the months of July and August, to be re-opened the first of September. It Is hoped that a more suitable building can be secured, the work having grown to such an ex tent that a larger and more convenient home is demanded. At a recent meet ing of the board of managers, the nd i mission committee reported that more than two hundred children had been 'cared fqr during the month of May. A most successful feature of the nursery work Is the boarding of children for the small sum of |1 a week. Many women have found employment as domestics, i since a place is provided for the care of their children. There are at present , seven'regular boarders, besides the day ' children at the nursery. It wns thought advisabkf to close the nursery for July a,nd August, because of the prevalence of whooping cough. Among the children however, there hove been no cases of :? serious Illness, nor any deaths since the opening of.the Institution. The King's Daughters have every reason to feel en couraged, for the work has prospered far beyond their expectations, and has : "aroused public Interest to such an ex 1;tent that a movement Is now on foot to establish the day nursery In a homo of its own. Dleycles at one-fourth off for the next ten days. * DILLON, WHEAT & HAXCH"ER CO. here /and there, TM" I'lil i'cl"r lor "? '*?? lo summer by ,h' ?

It wan a glorious night. The sheen from tho stars and moon bathed tho lovers through tho Interlacing branches of tho sumach trees, which stood like senti nels at cither side of the gate. The air was fragrant with the perfume of a rose-embowered garden and the wild (lowers growing ptofusely along the lanes, which Btretched away from the co?r Ilttlo white cottage, with lis green shutters, a sorene picture of comfort and bliss. Save for tho Ml of the lo custs or the ear-plcaalng chorus of the crickets no soundi disturbed the har mony of tho night. Oft la the dense thickets on the shadowy hilltops, was heard the occasional barking of a dog otherwise the happy pair lingering In each other's warm embrace at the di viding gate, were alone in- the sweet communion of the ndght. For how long they had stood1 there, they knew not. Each knew that Joy which comes when the long-delayed expressions of mutual love ffnTpoured forth into hungry ears, ami with the sudden warm, clasp and rain of passionate kisses, her head drooped over otv Ms shouMer, while he, bending forward, asked himself if such Joy was not too great to'last.For weeks his feet had: wended their way to her home, and the -progress of his suit he remembered? now, had not seemed to revel in the promise and glow of success until this night. And os h?> drank in the beauty of her dork eyesr almost hid den: by. their darker lashes; he question ed himself again if the possession now? it polled him to admit it?growing heavier on. his arms, would re-echo the promises of love bestowed/ a moment agu She was silent, yet the ilttlo hand lay fondly in his own, while the gate helped him support her willowy form. He gazed down Into her eyes, and then up at the star-spangled heavens. By the absence of light in the nearby cot tages he knew that their residents tad gone to rest from the toll and heat of the day. Regretfully soliloquizing thus ly, he determined to leave the soul tbrllling scene, after having once more from her lips the sweet words of a few moments ago. "Darling," he tenderly murmured. Her upturned eyes answer ed him. "Say again before I go that you love me." His every nerve was tingling with de light. He leaned over to catch the glad response. She hesitated slightly, then her low tones answered him. "And you'll" bring me the chocolates you promised* win you, if I do?" Like a flash of lightning from a cloud less sky the words pierced him. The love light In- his eyes flew before the Shadows of a blighted hope. "Choco lates, chocolates!" he muttered absent ly. "Is that what you had in mind?" And his head drooped1 low. "Why, certainly, George, didn't you premise .to bring them to-morrow?" Shattered rudely were his love dreams. Gone was the enchanted witchery of the tremulous stars, the soft beauty and charm of th? evening. "Chocolates,, chocolates," he muttered o'er and- o'er. His arms fell to his side. Now the gate was between them. He saw the gray road room before him. "Chocolates," ho repeated: "so her mind was on chocolates, and I, fool that I was, wrapped up In her. And poets sing of love, bah!" He looked at the road again.

The young man was advised to go and Bee for himself, whether It was a real- snake, or whether, as he Imagined, It was the snakes, scientifically known as delirium tremens. Partially comfort ed, the young man, armed with a pitch fork, made investigation, but not seeing any sign of a snake, came back to his friend, shaking in every bone, for he was certain "that he "had 'em. Then his friend visited tho cellar, and a few minutes later, had killed' a small garter snake under the barrel, greatly to the relief of a badly frightened young man. "By ffosh." he blurted out In his glad ness, "If you hadn't killed him, Jim, I'd been sure I had the snakes, and I'd went to bed and sent for a doctor."
