Doau's Kidney Pills make lasting cures
Johnson City pcop'o testify.
Here's one case of it :
William II. Hodges, 108 Millard St..
Johnson City, Term., says: "I am forced
to stand a great deal and I think this
was the cause of my kidney complaint.
I. suffered from a dull ache across my
back and was prevented from sleeping
well at night., as no position I assumed
was comfortable. I at length sawDoan's
Kidney Pills advertised for such troubles
and I procured a box at theGrey-Sprowl
Drug Co. I used them as directed and
was completely cured. Another member
of my family also took Doun's Kidney
Pills and the results were very satisfac
tory." (Statement Riven Feb. 25, 1903.)
On July 29, 1907, Mr. Ilodpes confirm

Grillith M. Robinson of Co. K. will
take out a sixty day furlough next
week and vitit friends and relatives in
various sections of bis native state.
Vogel's Big MiRStrels will appear at
Memorial Hall on Thursday, October
27. They are heralded as king pins
in the minstrelsy lineiind if signs do
not fail a great treat is in store for lov
era of a first-class entertainment.
GOV. PATTERSON TO
ENTER LECTURE FIELD
Gov. Malcolm Rice Fatterson has,
upon the earnest solicitation of numer
ous friends over the state, consented to
deliver a limited number of lectures,
and now has in course of preparation a
lecture, and he will in the near future
deliver It in some points in Tennessee.
Gov. Patterson has a national repu
tation as a public speaker. He has the
power to charm his audience such as is
possessed by few public men of today.
The fact that he has consented to lec
ture will be pleasing news to thousands
who know his power of entertaining.
The rif'ld will be practically new to the
governor, as his public addresses have
so far been principally political, yet
no one who has read or heard his pub
lic addresses will doubt for a moment
his success as an entertainer. The
governor's lecture will not only be en
tertaining, but will be highly instructive.
Gov. Patterson has been governor of
Tennessee for two terms and was unan
imously re-nominated to succeed him
self for a third term, but surrendered
his nomination in the interest of demo
cratic harmony.
Chas. Nedgen, who was transferred
to Danville Home, has returned after
a ten days' unsuccessful wait to be ad
mitted. He says that Mountain Branch
is a paradise compared to the Illinois
National Home. He is now congratu
lating himself and is heartily glad that
the fates favored him this time and re
turned him to a Home of cleanliness
and provender galore.
A dispatch dated Las Angeles, Cal.,
Oct. 2., to the Washington Times, says
that the little town of Sawtelle, where
the Boldiers' Home is located, is just
now busy talking of the elopements of
three "young" couples whose aggre
gate age is 408 years, and none of
whom is less than sixty years of age.
Two of the bridegrooms are inmates of
the Boldiers' Home, and all three vet
erans of the Civil War, while the
brides were widows of veterans. The
couples and their ages are: Patrick
Curtain. 70, and Mrs. Kate Rees, 70;
William M. Cole, 66, and Mrs. Caro
line Clark, 63; Benjamin II. Hoag, 77,
and Mrs. Maria F. Grover, 62. Com
bined ugc of bridegrooms, 213; total
age of brides, 105.
Quite a commotion was created in
Mess Hall at the dinner houron Thurs
day, which was caused by the new or
der promulgated by order of Major W.
A. Brewster, inspector general U. B.
A. It was to the effect that the men
I should all be seated at their respective
tables before the victuals were served.
It was no sooner put in operation than
it met with general dissatisfaction by
the men and waitresses. The new
scheme didn't work. It was a dead
letter after the first table had been
ssrved. The second division were gerved
in the good old way and now tranquil
lity reigns once more, while the dove
of peace is poised o'er the threshold
cooing to its loving mate, "E Pluribus
Unuin."
A great many of the members are
suffering from colds, which restricts
them from indulging as freely as was
their wont.
Major W. A. Brewster, United States I
Army, representing the war depart
ment, was at Mountain Branch this
week on his annual tour of inspection
ot tne Home management ana ac
counts. Major Brewster was accom
panied by Major Kent, who audits the
books of the treasurer's- office and oth
er Home accounts.

G. XV. Blair and D. A. Karris, of

RETIRE OLD INDIAN P9HTER
An old veteran and former member
of Mountain Branch, and who is now
in Washington, D. C, writes to us
from the latter city about matters and
things concerning National Military
Homes. He says :
"Things have been running rotten
in th.it Home for years. Last winter
wt often went to bed hungry, getting
nothing but bread pudding four and
five nights in the week, and fried bo
logna sausage for breakfast about as
often. It louks from here as though
Dr. Frank Robinson will be the chief
surgeon again at the Mountain Branch,
which is good news as the old invalid
veterans got what they were entitled
to when he was at the head of the hos
pital. Clay Evans may;be the next
local manager at Johnson City. There
will be a radical change in all the Na
tional Homes in the near future. Why
not close up four of these Homes and
place the Spanish war and Philippine
veterans in a Home all to themselves.
It would be au excel lent plan." H. F.
A. in Leavenworth Times.
The above is another one of those ar
ticles that inoculates the air by its pe-
itieal odium and smells to high heaven
with its rottenness and nauseating fal
lacy. There is no doubt about this
being from Washington. Its scheming
design is apparent to all and will dis-
sipsreiike a soap bubble.

We learn from the Confederate Vet

there are now about 10,000 Confederate
soldiers enrolled in thecamps of Texas.
Two hundred and twelve camps are
reported in the state, which puts Texas
ahead of the Southern states in nuin
ber of camps. Georgia comes next
with one hundred and eighteen.

both in a fine state of preservation.

A court-martial will probably be one
of the echoes of the. Grand Army en
campment at Atlantic City. Colonel
John McElroy, of Washington, who
withdrew as a candidate for command
er-in-chief, in an interview declared he
had been forced out of the race by
"slanderous inuendo and stabs in the
back." Colonel McElroy said a Wash
ington Grand Army man was the cir
culator of the charges,, which the colo
nel declares are false. He has asked
the commander-in-chief to name a
court of inquiry to investigate the al
legations made against him. Colonel
McElroy says Commander VsnZant
has grunted the rc-qut and is now
making np the court. The controversy
arose over the land duals which result
ed in the Grand Army colony at St
Cloud. Fla.
In speaking of casualties during the
Oivil War an exchange says: There
were 6,354 officers and 110,705 enlisted
men killed or died of wounds; 2,712 of
ficers and 15)7,008 enlisted men died of
disease, making a total of 350,528
deaths. The Confederate losses were
not as heavy as those of the Union
army who were tne assailants, ine
cost of the war was $6,180,929,908.

fense against Indians who had taken
the warpath. At that time General
Howe was a second lieutenant serving
with a light battery of the Fourth ar
tillery.
Captain Jack and Scar-Faced Cha
lie, Modoo chiefs, and their following
resented the attempt which was mads
to get them to leave land on which
their tribe had dwelt for years.
Peace commissioners were sent to
treat with the Indians, one of the
members of the commission being Gen
eral Canby. Captain Jack asked for a
parley with the commission and the re
quest was granted. As soon as Gen
eral Canby and his fellow commission
members met the Indians Jack and his
followem opened fire and killed every
member of the peace party.
The Modocs then took to the lava
beds of the northwest and it was found
to be impossible to dislodge them by
means of direct assault. The troops
engaged against the Indians at the
first were cavalrymen, and all their op
erations had to be conducted dis
mounted.

which Lieutenant Howe was attached.
was sent to the front and the shell
ing of the Indians' position was begun.
It took a long time to dislodge them,
for tbe lava beds were full of caves
which made excellent bomb-proofs.
Finally, however, starvation did what
shells could not do, and the Modocs
surrendered. Captain Jack, Scar-Faced
Charlie, Jim, and one or two other
Modocs were hanged for the murder of
the peace commissioners.
Brigadier General Howe entered the
United States Military academy as a
cadet during the civil war. It was only
a few years after he was graduated
that the light battery to which he was
attached , was sent to the plains coun
try and thence to Oregon.
After the Modoo war was over it
became the practise to attach light
batteries to expeditionary forces in
the field against the Indians, and Lieu
tenant Howe served In the Sioux cam
paign in 1876, a campaign which saw
the wiping out of General Custer and
three squadrons of the Seventh cav
alry, the temporary triumph of Sitting
Bull and then the final rounding up of
several thousand Sioux warriors who
hl taken to the warpath because of
the invasion of their country by the
whites. '
In the army General Howe is known
ss one of the most proficient students
In the artillery branch of the service.
He was graduated from the artillery
school in 1S73 and has served with
both the field and the sea coast
branches of the service.
Jhe whole artillery system has un
dergone radical transformation and
with the introduction of modern
rapld-flre guns for field service and the
heavy rifled breech-loading disappear-ing-carrlage
guns of the coast service
the artillery officers have been com
pelled to- adapt themselves to a con.
btant succession of changes.- As an In
