Private John Stanton, of Company
D, whoso case wns one of the most
eevere that the hospital surgeons had
to contend with, was today placed In
the convalescent ward and In the course
of a week ho will be able to be about.
Lieutenant Berry was HllRhtly Im
proved today and the otheis weie all
reported to be doing nicely.
At last the Thirteenth's well has
been Riven up as n bad Job. At a depth
of 158 feet the bst the well could do
was two gallons to the minute. This
might do for family use, but for n
leglmcnt of nearly 000 men it is about
as good as nothing nt all. Another
well is to bo sunk at the opposite end
of the camp. In the meantime the two
gallons a minute will he made use of
ns an auxiliary to the supply received
hy wagon from the adjacent farnii.
When water Is secured If such a
thing ever comes to pass tho question
cf purity will offer no room for worry.
L)r. E. O. Shakespere, of Philadelphia,
well known to Scrantonlans by reason
of his connection with business enter
prises there, and Dr. George G. Groff,
professor of organic sciences at Buck
nell unlvcrblty, are here as representa
tives of the National Relief associa
tion for the purpose of establishing in
the camp an Immense water-purifying
apparatus. General Gobln readily ap
proved of the plan, and the work of
putting It In ploce will at once begin.
Company II had a ilag raising Fri
day night, which, altogether wanting
In pre-arranged ceremonies, was a veiy
Interesting and enthusiastic affair. At
4 o'clock In the afternoon Pilvnte
Thomas Glllls appeared upon the com
pany street with an 8x12 Hag, and said
"Let's have a flag raising." Tour horns
If tor the flag was talsed on a flfty-clglit-loot
pole. "Where the Hag was
prcured is neither hero nor there as
far as this article is concerned. The
pole was cut in the neighboring woods
by a detail In charge of First Sergeant
Hogers and Corporal Dikeman. When
the preparations were all complete tho
flag was nailed to the pole, uncased
in u bag to which strings were at
tached by which it rould be removed
nt the proper time nnd then the pole
was raised and securely planted.
The company" was assembled and at
a word trom Captain Cons In, Mrs.
Huff, wife of Lieutenant John Huff,
pulled the string nnd "Old Glory" float
ed in the moonlight, flapping its folds
In the evening breeze to the tune of
"The tars and Stripes Forever," by
the regimental band. Tlrere was a
season of cheering for everybody nnd
eery thing from the "Stars and
Stripes" down to the intrepid war cor
respondents, and then enme a salute to
the colors by Pugler Emmet McDcr
mott and nnother by a firing squad,
commanded by Corporal Dikeman. It
Is the only flag displayed in camp.

GOSSIP OF THE CAMP.
Special from a Staff Correspondent
Camp Alger, Dunn Lorlng, Va., July
31. Tho heroes are not nil at the front.
Coming out of the telegraph otllco at
Dunn Loring station last evening I
was accosted by a worn-looking lad
with tear-stained face, who wanted to
kr.ov when the next train left for
Yashington.
"What's tho trouble' Are you sick""
T Inquired, noticing his emaciated and
sad face.
"Haw, I ain't sick. Was a little
sick, but I'm all right now," nnd each
word seemed to call for all the energy
he possessed.
"Excuse me I thought you had been
ci vlng."
"Crying? Me cix'ng. Well no, no
Indeed," the last denial made with his
eyes seeing ns unmistakably as mine
did the moisture on the buck of the
Index firmer that had Just made n half
Involuntary tour of Inspection. I
smiled.
"Well. I'll tell you mister, It was
only with madness I was crying. They
don't think any more of u fellow's
feelings at that hospital than they
do of nothing. What do you think
IWhen I went up to eet my transpor
tation to Join my regiment this Is what
thHy give me," and he displayed a dis
charge from the seivlco because of in
nblllty to withstand tropical hent,
having been three times prostrated bv
sun-stroke. "Say don't they have to
send u man to his regiment when h
Is discharged cured? You bet they do,
nrd I'm goins to see our congressman
n.hout It."
Tho lad's regiment Is the Eighth

Because Hood's Sarsaparllla
Built Up His System
Child Was Woak, Had Night Sweats
and Poor Appetite.
"Our younge.t child was in a bad con
dition. One physician said the trouble
wan innlarla and another thought It came
from the stomach and liTer. Meantime
the child kept growing weaker. Ho had
night etreatf, poor appetite and various
othur troullts. We worried along for
two years, and than we determined to
try Hood's Sanaparllla, and from the
first day wo noticed a change in our
little boy. We kept on until he had
taken about three bottles. Today he is a
strong, hearty child. We havo always
had to keep him indoors in winter, but
Lilt winter ha w an out with other children
and we found no trace of the old trouble

Lamar Fontaine, the famous Con
federate scout, has been nt the Chlck
nmauga camp for several days. The
name of Fontaine was once on the lips
of every Federal soldier. His exploits
nnd deeds of bravery were discussed
around the camp llres. Every day he
would pick off Federal soldiers In ex
posed parts. In one campaign he Is
said to have killed, nnd probably cor
rectly, more than sixty men with a
single rllle. When he took aim It was
with deadly effect. He never missed a
mark. During the war this brave man
was literally shot to pieces. He was
hit badly sixty-seven times. Ho is now
walking on wooden legs cut and whit
tled by himself from the battlefield of
Manassas. He was cnptuied by the
Union army once, but after talking to
tho commanding general was told, af
ter a sentence of death had been passed
upon him, that he was too brave a man
to die and he was exchanged. He Is
hunting for tho man for whom he was
exchanged. That man is said to be a
brigadier In the volunteer service.
John Fnrnhnm, of Wllkes-Barre, who
has returned from Cliickamauga,
where ho visited his brother. Hamilton,
who has recovereu from typhoid fever,
stated that ho himself was under the
weather for some time and spent the
time at Lookout Inn. Mr. Farnham
says that while tho food In camp is
plain yet there Is an abundance of It,
and It is wholesome. The heat in the
hospitals is sometimes unbearable, but
then the walls of the tent are raised,
permitting a breeze to pass through.
The patients suffer from the flies that
will gather In spite of nil efforts to
keep them nway. The men nrc sick
generally for only a few days at a time
and then get out again. Sometimes
they go back, being unable from weak
ness to stand the heat and the burden
of drill exercise.

It is rumored that an nctlon on be

aecptable by the board. The councils
ignored the communication.

IT IS OUR CUSTOM, at the end of each season's trading, to devote one month to
the cleaning up of the store and stock and making leady for the next seasons'
goods which commence to come in at the end of our sales." By doing this we get
rid of all the odds and ends and lines which we wish to discontinue using, thus keeping
our stock always fresh and clean and showing each season the newest and best the shoe
markets produce.
To make our semi-annual sales the great success they have been it is necessary to
mark prices low enough on all lines to induce all our regular customers to take advantage of
the bargains offered and influence many others to trade with us. Of course such sales, if
genuine, means a money loss to the merchant, but this is more than made up by the many
new friends and customers which we make during these sale months.
The Newark has only one price to all and every cent taken off the marked price of any
shoe means a bonailde reduction of just so much. To our customers acquainted with our
methods of conducting these sales it is hardly necessary to quote prices, but for the benefit
of those who are not we name the following:
All $6.00 Shoes, Men's, August Sale Price will be $4.50
All .oo Shoes, Ladies' or Men's, August Sale Price will be 3.95
All 4.00 Shoes, Ladies' or Men's, August Sale Price will be 2.95
All 3.00 Shoes, Ladies' or Men's, August Sale Price will be 2.45
All 2.50 Shoes, Ladies' or Men's, August Sale Price will be 1.95
All 2.00 Shoes, Ladies' or Men's, August Sale Price will be 1.65
Misses' and Children's and Boys' and Youth's Shoes, all reduced in like proportion.
These prices are on regular goods and do not include the lines we want to close out
entirely or the odd lots and shoes slightly soiled from fitting. These we arrange on tables
and mark prices that it is almost like giving them away. For instance, on one table will be
found a lot of Men's and Ladies' shoes marked $i.oo,the regular price of which was $1.75 to
$2.50. On another table Ladies' Oxfords marked ijo cents, some of them worth $1.0,
others worth more. We'll tell you more about these tables from dav to day as the sale pro
gresses. In conclusion we would say that you can't well afford to miss our August
Sale of Shoes.
