' . lOUtH CA&OLIVA WILL Bl THERE \ Twenty-two Thousand Rexulan end Htete Troop* Will T»ke Pert In ^ PortnlKht'e Oper«t|on». A Mm m <■ Settle. Major General Corbin will finbt tlie tUtd battle of Bull Run. The «en- eral ataff of the army is now ennaged upon Improving the strategy of Gen eral “Stonewall” Jackson in whatts regarded by military strateglsU a&the most masterly campaign of the civil war. From Portland, Me., which never came nearer to war than seeing In the offing Spanish HeetS which never ex isted, the army manoeuvers will be transferred this year to Manassas, Va., which still bears the marks of the heavy blows.dealt by blue and gray forty-two years ago. For the tirsttimean opportunity vyill be afforded for effective compari sons between the old army which fought and the new army which -hr being trained to fight. Can the mod ern armament and the methods of transportation which have developed forty years from the days when Pope and Lee raced from their respective bases to the battle ground change the result of their manoeuvers? Twenty- two thousand modern soldiers will be used to test the prowess of the ancient armies of the rebellion and prove what would have happened had the commanders whose names made his tory possessed Krag-Jorgensen rifles, Dougerty, wagons and the new army Held gun. It Is probable that no field of any of the great Southern conflicts cohid have been selected which has suffered so little change as the low-lying land in the Valley jof Northern Virginia between Thoroughfare Gap ana the Potomac. There have been few alterations In the generaLmake up and characteris tics of Manassas since the rear guard of General Popp’s army fell back to Washington. Railroad lines and roads which afforded the old combatants their only methods of transportation other than that afforded by the coun try roads have not changed. The lines Shown upon the map of IHOd are siill unchanged, except that upon what was the left flank of the Northern army there has b^en constructed a road between Alexander and Freder icksburg, and a line across what was the base of the Southern army from Fredericksburg to Charlottesville Theae latter lines would so materially have affected the operations of the oivtl war that it is probable, If the general staff follows its plan of repro ducing the campaign of 18(12, they will be barred by the umpire. Eighteen thousand regular army troops and four thousand militiamen from various Eastern states will par ticipate In the operations, which will continue from September f> to 20. This is the largest body of regulars and militia gathered for manoeuvres in the history of the United States. The fieldr of Bull Run, Bristow Sta tlon, Milford and Manassas Junction will again be trod by armed soldiers. The same strategic points which play ed such a vital part In the contest of military science waged between Gen eral John Pope, the Federal leader, and General Robert E. Lee, Confeder ate, stand the same today as In 1862. Major General Henry C. Corbin, commanding the division of the At lantic, will b«b in supreme command. Lleutant General Adna R. Chaffee, chief of staff, whose actual lighting service in Cuba, the Phillippines and China in tbe last few years is fresh In mind, will observe the manoeuvres, military attaches of foreign govern ments will witness the evolutions. Convenient as the scene of lighting Will be to Washington and Baltimore, and even Philadelphia and New York, thousands of onlookers are expected to find their way thither. Already Inquiries that pour In upon the war department show that many an old veteran who fought in the cam paign of August, 1862,' Intends to see how the soldiers of today will handle themselves on the flghting ground. To this day wherever the veterans of the campaign of the great rebellion cupatlon secondary to that which they make their living, are better <able to leave their offloee and abope during the / dull summer months. When the wheelf, of commerce and industry begin to limber up in Sep tember it is not so easy for them to absent themselves from the city. Thus the militia representation will be smaller than if the manoeuvres were held In July: That month, If made the period for this mimlo war- Un\ would undoubtedly result In not a few fatalities from sunsttoke. Vir ginia is sn extremely hot place in the middle of summer, almost too tropi cal for military operations of this character. General Corbin believes that al though the militia wlH not be able to remanin throughout the fifteen days to be devoted to tbe manoeuvres, regiments from New York, hardened by tbelr work in the summer encamp ments at Peekshlir would be able to leave New,York on ’fast treep train Friday night of each week and be in Manassas before daybreak, thus ob- ta'nlng Saturday and Sunday for work In the held, and they would be again in New York on Monday. SCALDED TO DEATH. 1 (Ml LATS ARE HOTBEVL. Terrible Death of a Little Olrl In the ^ f ' Mill Village, .v The Columbia State says a pathetic death occurred Thursday morning in a tenement home of the Olympia mill village when little 6-year-old Lessle Weaver was released from pain. Her suffering had been intense for 10 hours. The evening before she and her 11-year-old brother left their 'home to meet their father on his re-’’ turn from work, and as they were crossing ‘ Hot brknch,” below the ex haust from the big mill engines, Lessle slipped on the log and fell Into thje hot water. rlc r brave little brother went to her and succeded in pulling her out from the almost scaid- Ingustream. The little girl was car ried to her home and a physician did all in his power to minister to tbe child’s silent suffering. At Intervals during the night she would whisper, “Papa, 1 am cornin’ to meet you." And these were the last words, little Lessle spoke before she passed away. Mr. E. J. Waver, tbe father, works in tne Olompla mill. His home on Ashley avenue is nearly a mile from the factory. His two little children frequently met him returning from work, but this was tbe first time they had gone so far and they had never attempted to cross “Hot branch’^be- fore. The father aid not kont the catastrophe until he arrived from his work a half hour later. Fortunately Dr. S. F. Williams happijped to be at a nearby teheffient and attended the girl, without any delay. Tbe burns extended over tbe entire body and shortly the epidermis pealed off. Dr. Williams stated Thursday night that be did every thing he could to relieve tbe. child of pain, but notwithstanding this her suffering was severe until the end 10 hours later. Thig little one’s remains were buried Friday afternoon in tbe Granby burial grounds, south of Olympia mill. ' ‘ „ .. ^ “Hot branch” is so called because its- water is Heated by ihe stream coming out of tbe exhaust pipes from tbe mill engines nearby. Why, if }t Is so dangerous, it has not been cover ed over is a question which will now likely be Investigated. Both Parties Organising for a Warm Campaign. ' , ■ ,r •. * —••• - '' * Whatever may be the fate of tbe Democratic Presidential ticket to be nominated at St. Louis In July, Democrats in Congress believe they have a chanoe of controlling the next House of Representatives, and they will make a determined and aggres sive fight to aocompllsh that end. Tbe Republican leaders, while not conceding there is tbe slightest prob- w00 ^ c [ ft y ability of a Democratic House majori ty in tbe Fifth-ninth Congress^will take no chances, and are preparing to wage an active campaign in every close Congressional district. There Is In the present Congress a Republiean majority of thirty-four. Could the Democrats hold the dis tricts they now have eighteen of the districts now repre sented by Republicans, they would have a majority in the next Congress. The Republicans assert this is impos sible. The Democrats contend that it not only Is posslple, but Is probable. Tbe Republicans are anxious to in crease tbelr majority in the House. During the session of Congress just closed, the margin on account of ab senteeism, was often too close for comfort. To tbe Middle *West the Republi cans are looking for their gains. There are districts In Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois now represented by Dem ocrats, which, they believe they can carry. . “ Judge Wade, who rtepresents the Eleventh Iowa district, is the. only Democrat from that State in the House. The Republican leaders have practically decided to npmlnkte A. F. Dawsoq, now private secretary to Senator Allison, to make the race against him, and bClieve they can carry the district. Judge Wade had DELAY OF FREIGHT. The Hardest Fought Bill in the Legis- ■ > lature Now a Law. gather stories as to “red Virginia mud” have a prominent place. It is declared there is no “stickier” mud In , M world and no time when it is “stickler” than the last rainy harvest months. Tbe campaign of 1863 was fought for the most part by veterans of at least a year’s standing. There were regiments from in or near the city ($w York in that campaign, but time to learn the differ ence between^ the pavements of the island of ManlikU^n and tbe shifting slush in the wake oNa Virginia rain storm. Tt Is conslderechilghly proba ble by army officers that^e regi ments from tbe state of New York.so fortunate as to be allowed tne oppor tunity to attend these manoeuvres will be apt to encounter some inoon- ice before they equal the record General Stonewall Jackson when be fought two armies in the same day beyond Thoroughfare Gap at points fifteen miles of red clay apart and won tbe strategy of tbe game of 1862. Cooperation of militia with regular troops, which forms the basic princi ple j)t tbe national scheme of defense, afforded thorough operation in theae manoeuvres. General Cor bin vxeoently went to Virginia to make arrangements for obtaining per- mimlon to operate upon -the land de sired as flghting ground. Property owners told him the army oould be gin to'operate there tbe first week In September, when tbe harvest will have been completed and there will be no danger to crops from tbe march of Infantry, cavalry and artillery. But this date, although it bap tbe ad vantage of being comparatively cool and la convenient to tbe Virginia farmers, has its drawbacks.

The law In regard to the transpor tation of freight promptly has just gone into effect. It was probably the hardest fought bill of tbe legisla ture and was the last signed by the governor. The law provides a penalty for the unnecessary delay of freight. The schedule is from midnight of the day the freight Is received; not over 100 miles, 72 hour!; 100 to 200 miles, 120 hours.

The Republicans do not expect any marked change in the representation from Eastern States, with, the excep tion that Ihey hope to defeat Mr. Granger, the Democratic Repre sentative from Rhode Island, and may capture one or more of the Greater New York districts now represented by democrats. It is not expected that any Republicans will be elected from the South, but there is a fear In Democratic quarters that the Popu list party may be rejuvenated In some of the Southern States. „ Should the Eastern dominate the St. Louis convention, it is said Southern Populists who have co operated with the Dem'>crat8 since 1 nyti jufobabi^^woiildAdecl i ne Ul cqfll- tinue the alfiance , .’“ Should the old alliance Of Southern Populists and Republicans be reformed, the Demo crats may lose a number of seats. Should such a situation arise, how ever, it is possible the Republicans would lose In tbe West any advantage Democratic losses In tbe South might give them. Should party alignment in -a- number of Western States go back to where i^'was before tbe WM- palgn, a number of Republican mem bers might fall of re-election. The Democrats have large plans for capturing tbe next House, and they count on different channels of politi cal thought to help them in different parts of the country. Not only have tbe Democrats mark ed Mr. Overstreet, the secretary of the Republican committee, for defeat, but they declare its chairman, Mr. Babcock, is In danger of suffering a like fate. In tbe last election Mr. Babcock had a plurality of more than 8,000, but tbe Democrats count on tbe disaffection of LaFollette Republicans to wipe this put. In lllfnolaibe Dem- crats are planning aggressive cam paigns in the districts represented by Meisrs. Boutell, Marsh aod Warner. In Iowa they insist that not only will "Judge Wade fetain his seat, but that the Democrats have a chance of beat ing Mr. Lacey in tbe Sixth district. They expect to regain the Colorado seats formerly represented by Messrs. Shafroth and Bell. They count on sen? timent for Canadian reciprocity to help them along the eanadlan fron tier. -< •, , _ Tbe Coat of government. The appropriations made in the Sessions of Congress just ended" ag gregated nearly 1800,000,000. This is the first session too of Congress. When the second session of the Fifty eighth Congress closea it is certain that the sun of the appropriations of it will be somewhere near a billion and a half dollars. Yet only a short time ago tbe people were horrified be cause one Congress earned tbe name of the “Billion Dollar” Congress. Cer tain large bills such as the River and arbor, too were shorn of their usual roportlons, and tlie appropriations or pirblic buildings were unusually ^eagre. The forty millions paid 40 ths-French Panama Canal Company are not included in total voted at the session of Congress. Whence then comes this demand for such a sum? The Army and the Navy, exclusive of Pensions now cost the United States more than •200,000,000 annually. Pensions alone in 1893 cost $138,425,- 646, and for tbe ensuing year tbe amount is larger.

Weeds and grass are going to come up The best and most; effective working may be given with a barrow or weed- er and befofe tbe seeds are up. Then missionaries are needed all over, the land to Impress farmers with the idea that keeping crops clean is not the only object in working them. Killing grass Is -a mere-Incident. If there was not a grass seed in a field the cultivation would be necessary. By Stirring the top soil air and sunlight get into it and evaporation is cut off. The moisture below, instead of .escap ing in tbe air, goes to tbe roots of the plants and keeps the ^ plant food In soluble, form. Letna one-get it into his bead that be will work bis crop a certain number of times and no more. After every rain it/would be well to run over the land.end break the crust. Of course, if tbe showers fall several days in succession, that cannot bb done. These expanding birrows or cultivators are excellent on smooth land. One may Clean a corn or cot-- ton row at one run. By running close tb one side this week and then close to tbe other tbe next it will keep the top soil broken all tbe time. Never plow corn deep after it begins to send out the lateral roots across the rows. The shallower tbe better." Begin in time, work often, keep at it. Never let a bard crust form in tbe mi Idles. THE CROW SEASON. At this time of the year a thought less farmer will lose a day or two bunting and destroying a crow's nest. He will also fret and fume because a few crows light in bis corn field early in tbe morning and destroy a pint of two of grubs and worms. The crow has a bad name, not on account of the company he keeps, for he is very aris tocratic and quite particular about his associates. It may be ,^18 color that has bfought him inte- disrepute amongst farmers, fof~it is certainly not the harm heUbes. The fact is the crpw is very much Hke his enemy, man.. He has an idea that the farm er ought to strike a balance sheet and place his good deeds over on the credit side against bis wrong doing. Tbe ac count would stand about this way: On tbe credit side would be thousands of bugs, worms and injurious insects destroyed. On tbe other side would be only a few bills of corn pulled up and a few watermelons pecked Spare tbe crows. They do more good than harm. Cut worms, bud worms and other Insects destroy fifty times as much corn as the crows do. tal man may have, when life is hope Irssly filled with weariness of spirit and the burden of sorrow. If Death means a release from suffering, men tal or physical, who will dare say that Death is not a friend? It is the philosophy of life to bear tbe inevitable with resignation and patience, but tbe abstract proposition bere considered Is whether It Is the best time t6 go before there is noth ing left but endurance and “mere breath.” y ^ I know and understand tbe Chris tian belief of “Thy will be done,” and I would fain make it clear that it Is only God’s gracious promise 'which can sanctify grief and hopeless sorrow (the promise to be with us in “fiery trials” and “deep waters”), but still I contend that the best time to go is when youf good influence has reached its zenith and those who love you best will tnourn you most, whether in in fancy or in four score years. Have you never seen a person out live health, wealth, friends and hap piness?' What is there .40 pitiful under Heaven as a creature that is bank rupt In all. except “mere breath,” a poor mortal who is a burden to tbe world? T . You have seen boys of fine promise, fine family, fine fortun'e make abso lute shipwreck of all except the ca pacity to breathe, to exist. God aimed to have them do well, but they would not. Wno will say they bad not outlived tbelr besLUme to diei? When I was a girl just entering my teens, a clean hearted, upright^moth erly neighbor madjean afternoon visit to my bouse and told the painful story of the downfall of her daughter to my mother’s sympathizing ears. The tragedy, the mother’s grief, the awful blight that fell on tbit home, on her young sisters, on the parents, on her poor self, was my first view of tbe awful suffering such conduct might and would entail on those who saw such youth, love and friendship die cruel and unnatural death. Now, was 1$ a sin When that poor mother walled aloud, ‘‘UbTwby didn’t she die when she was a dear, -sweet little baby?” After tbe grief-stricken mother left, and my own dear mother clasped me in her arms and warned me of tbe evils and temptations to which that poor young woman had succumbed, is it'a 'marvel that I have always felt that such misery was tbe deepest sor row and tbe blackest gloom tbatoould ever fall on any pure hearted mother’s life? If the poor creature bad filed in in fancy how the tears would have fall en, and her memory would have been cherished! But she outlived, out wore, outraged tbe patience, tbe af fection apd tbe comfort of those who have died gladly to have made her the clean once more. “Perhaps the early grave that men weep over miy be meant to save. , Who knows? f Long years ago I read a story of trip by ssa from.
