repair. Wo beltovc tho sidewalks in a
town should he built and repaired
by tho proper authorities at tho
expunso of tho tax payors, just tho
uamo as the streets aro kept up.
Tho sidewalks aro built for tho coven
tonco of tho public anil tho tax payers
should pay tho cxponsu of tho sumo,
rtecnuso a man or woman saves their
money and builds a home, which adds
to Increase of valuation of the borough,
is no tfood reason why ho or she should
bo at an expenso In keeping up a side
walk to accommodate tho public. The
expense of sidewalks certainly should
bo borne by the taxpayers. If this were
done perhaps tho sidewalks would bo
kept in better condition than thvy aro
now In. True, If tho sldewulks wero
added to the list of tuxes, tho property
owners would have to hoi) pay for tho
sidewalks, but .the amount that would
bo received from non-property owners
would bo qutto a help In pay I tin tnt-'
sidewalk expenses.
Stoke's Saloon.
As an example of a more Innocent
and loss dangerous saloon than thoso
drunkard-milking; ones, I would mention
Stoke's soda water fountain saloon. As
no one pots drunk at Stoke's placo, It is
In evidenco to show that a saloon is not
necessarily a bad and dangerous place.
But a saloon need not con fine itself to
soda water in order to bo Innocent and
harmless. It may freely dispenso any
thing wholesomo and non-lntoxicatlntf
in quantities not less than (Jul Ion or
two.
Strong drinks muko a saloon a very
duniroroiiB place, unless it is regulated
in such a manner as to avoid those risks
which attend tho free handling of all
dungorous things and substances. If
strong drinks have any value at all as u
beverage, they are at least not safe to
handle froely and, therefore, wo need
the same laws nguinst their care I ens
dispensation as we enact against other
careless things and places. If tho gov
ernment see fit to guard against danger
in one direction, why should it not do
so lo every other? If even a dangerous
sidewalk is worth local attention, whv
not a dangerous saloon? '
The only true solution of the much
debated drinking question is this:
. drinking is more an evil In itself than
is eating, ana ootn naoiu are what we
make them, either healthful or harm
ful. As a rule most people know how
to eat decently and harmlessly, but how
to drink harmlessly and wisely Is a les
son which somo can never learn, and
for all such babes that they are we
need a mother of laws to take care of
them.
' Some peoplo dissipate themselves by
drinking and some by eating. The
proportion of those who dissipate them
selves by drinking is, however, far
greater than those who do it by eating,
and this entirely due to the Intoxicating
qualities of beer and other strong
drinks, against tho danger of which
the government makes little provision,
compared with what it does against tho
injurious qualities of impure and un
healthy rtrtloloa of food.
Drunkenness will be reduced to a
minimum just as soon aa the American
people learn to be Impartial enough to
exercise as much precaution against
danger in one direction as In another.

Kollowlng Ih a private letter written
by ('apt. Curl A. Wagner, of Co.
Il.'lril Michigan Volunteers, to his sister,
MiA K. NelT In lleynoldsvilln. The
letter Ih tinted Hlhonoy, I'uhii, July 111,
IHtm. ('apt. Wagner visited In this
plai'o several years ago.
Dkau Kihtkii: In order to fulllll my
promise to write you from here, I will
give yon a brief iii'i'oiint of my nxperl
etn'ii nlnt'0 1 wrote you from Newport
News. Wo sailed from that place Sun
day afternoon, Juno JO, nt about 2:00
o'clock. We hud a most delightful
voyage and were very pleasantly treat
ed by the oMrer of the ship (t. H.
auxiliary cruiser ''Harvard") anil had
everything provided for our comfort.
Wo arrived olT this place on Friday
morning and began to debark. The
llrst thing I learned was that the ftlrd
Itctrt. hail gone to the front that morn
ing at M ini o'clock to attack a place
called Aguailores, uhnut flftiVn miles
up the coast. At noon word emtio that
a shell struck the rlghtof my Company,
killed two men and wounded three
more. I hurt led to the hospital just as
they brought them In and I never had
anything try me more than tho sight tf
those poor mangled forms of some of
my best men. The corporal of the
sqniii! had Ills left elhiiw fractured ami
the tears ran down his face as ho wrung
my hand nml tried to express his joy at
snelng mo. Tho Company was nil very
expressive in Its reception, but It was
necessarily subdued, for the llrst com
mand 1 gave them was to fall In behind
the stretchers of the two silent forms
we carried to the hillside and hurled
beside tho gravo of ('apt. ('apron, of
the ttottgh Hlilers, killed a few (lays
hefort'. That night wo wero ordered
to the front again and after marching
all night arrived In sight of the enemy's
lines nt day break. We ato a hasty
breakfast of hard tack and beef und two
Companies wero ordered forward on the
firing lino. My Company, by reason of
its punishment and Iosh of the day be
fore, was kept In reserve, but tho hul
lots whistled uncomfortably close to us.
As on the day before our orders wero
not to attempt to capture tho enemy's
position, hut simply to keep him en
gaged to prevent those in front of us
from attempting u Hank movement on
thoso of our urmy operating directly in
front of Santiago. This wo continued
until the middle of tho afternoon when
wo withdrew to a point about five miles
from tho enemy, where wo throw up
entrenchments of our own.
From our ixwltlon on the point wo
held wo had a lino view of tho llect off
Santiago Bay and Morro Cnstlo. Wo
could distinctly seo the ships as they
bombarded tho forts and earthworks of
tho enemy. With my glass I saw tho
Spanish llect come out of the harbor
and engage our fleet. I tell you it was
u magnificent sight. Such crashing of
big guns and leaping of Humes and
smoke from their sides as they poured
shot and shell into ouch other. Tho
New York was just oft our position and
hurrying to get into tho fight, tho black
smokn rolling from all three of her fun
nels liku a lingo black plume, while tho
water she hurled from hor bows as she
tore along looked liko white, glistening
teeth, giving her tho appearance of a
monster demon of destruction, hungering
for its prey. It was all over In a short
timo with tho result, as you know, of
the utter destruction of tho Spanish
Hoot and tho cupturo of its admiral.
The pictures of tho scenery that you
seo in tho papers are qulto correct, at
least thoso cuts I've soon. With cactus
and vinos, and palms, and broad leafed
plants, and bushes, it Is a terrible plnco
to get through, whore there is no trail
cut. And such crubs, the most revolt
ing looking things you ever suw; bodies
us lurgo as your head, great ugly claws,
and tholr sidelong movement und hor
rlblo smoll muke thorn tho most repul
sive thing I ever saw. Tho other night
I woke up hearing one of them crawling
up my trunk, right at my sldo. You
cun imagine bow I folt. Tho place is
full of chameleons, a littles animal like
a lizard, harmless and quite protty.
They aro all colors. This und roos
qultos make our lives miserable.
Wo are now back at Siboney, whore
wo landed, and are hold here, doing all
kinds of fatigue duty, such as cleaning
upturning old filthy buildings, helping
in the hospital, unloading stores from
the ships, and guard duty.
There is some fever here, but, al
though our doctors call some of it
yellow fever, those who have lived here
for years say it is not. I am as round
as a nut and foeling tip top. Carl.

Wn,t. W. Wii.ry: Wo arrived horn
from Chlcnmnugu July 27. All are
well. drub Is somewhat source hut
that will bo remedied shlirtly, Tho
water hero Is good but wo bavo got to
filter It. Wo get a gisid supply of Ice.
Wo uro located nlsiut flvo hundred
feet from tho James rlvor and got otto
hour each day to hill he In tho rlvor.
At this point It Is seven miles wide. A
shark was after tho boy Saturday.
One of tho Hough 'Killers shot nt It sev
eral times but missed his aim. Many
of the hoys refuse to go bathing since.
One of tho Kentucky Imijs died on
Saturday. I did not learn the cause of
his death. Ills mother Is hero to toko
him home. It Is a sad sight, to sen a
dead Ixidy removed from camp. Tho
hand plays dead Inarches on such occa
sions. There were two men who run through
the guards Sunday anil slumped
"lioorny" for Spain and denounced our
soldiers. They did not get fur. We
thought nt llrst that they would Is)
court liKirthiled. hut they arrested them
and their sentence will ho six months
to the pen. Tim soldiers nro "hot stuff"
In that case und are not to Is; fooled
with when in camp.
They tell me that a report was In
circulation that (iorilon Iowthcr was
lc ml. He Is the liveliest, corpse I over
saw. Had, or should, such a tiling occur
we would wire home. So believe no
rumors.
It was a delightful ride of seven hun
dred miles from Chlcainuiiguhero. Wo
had sleeping curs but not one of us knew
how to get into bed right lifter sleeping
on the soft side of a l'lttsbuig on
mother earth. We also will not know
how to cut at a table when wo get the
opportunity. It looks liko a lot of pigs
to seo us cat.
Wo uro here now with the Idea that
wo lire waiting on transports to go to
l'orto Hleo. Hut If the war closes wo
may not got uny farther and that will
suit lots of tho boys, but Herb llurns
und I will go through it if wo can get
tho chance.
Tho cruiser Minneapolis Is here now
and uuother ono arrived to-day, the
name I didn't learn. There are four
companies of tho llith hero: 1st Ken
tucky, .'Ird Kentucky, KlOth Indiana and
ono other Indiana company.
My tont mate, Frank Carter of
Punxs'y, and I have boon getting good
grub by visiting tho houses in town.
Of course wo havo to jump tho guards,
but that Is easy. Somo day wo will bo
currying a sixteen foot log that weighs
about 20(1 pounds as a penalty. That
will bo fun, I don't think.
I am on duty to-day acting as orderly
for Colonel Rickurds. All I have to do
Is carry notes, messages, water and any
thing ho wants I am compelled to get
it for him.
Tho sand Is about four Inches deep
hero and tho wind very heavy, which
makes It very interesting.
If you were to see us you would not
know us. wo uro so black and havo such
a nice growth of wlilskei'4. Everything
goes hero with a soldier. If ho upsets
a wagon of cakos, watermelons, or any
thing to eat, it is all right, that ts sol
dier's gamo. Tho ono that can do the
most devilment is tho ono that faros
best and Company L is not behind In
any game that Is played. Wo cun go
through a guard lino, rob a wjigon,
sleep when wo aro wanted to do some
thing, play sick when wo are wanted
to go on guard as well as any old veter
an of tho Into war. So don't think Co.
L is bashful.
We all got our calls from Gun. Grant
and If we do not salute him when we
meet him, he makes tho boys walk the
line to perfoctlon.
Time is scarce or I would writo more.
With best wishes to all, I close.
