MILITIA ENCAMPMENT. Second Regiment Practices Exten? ded Order Drill-Too Much Hard "Work Ahead For Fancy Reviews Discipline Receives Condiments. Camp Chicamanga. Ga.. Aug. 7. Today was another day of success for the Second regiment. For the firs: time since the arrival of the troops there has not been a drop of rain and the sun has shone all day. At 7 o'clock this morning the regi? ment took the field and for four hours devoted themselves to the ex? tended order drill, this time without the aid of the regulars, in company and battalion formations. After this ?drill had c?ased, the men were given rest of half hour, after which the .companies were* divided into squads and sent out on practice patrol duty for a short time. About noon they Teurned to camp, hot and tired, but in fine spirits. As they mai'cehd along the road leading to the np, the . boys sang many of the popular songs and there was probably not a com? pany in line which did net join the chorus. The good turnor of this regi? ment is wonderful and the excellent discipline displayed is bringing many ."boquets" upon Col. Thompson. 'There were no duties for the after -no?n and many of the boys were granted leave until taps and are in .Chattanooga enjoying themselves, j Capt. J. R. Allen of the .Richland j "Volunteers is officer of the day and Lieutenant Toung of the Camden company is officer of the guard. Tomorrow- morling at 7 o'clock the regiment wi-U be in the historic Dyer ?field, where tney will be instructed ^nd practiQed in advance and rear guard'work. The Seventeenth infan? try will assist in these exercises. They will conclude at 2 O'clock. At :2 o'clock the officers will observe ar -tillery material and methods on Dyer field. Governor Hey ward and his staff are .expected to arrive in Chattanooga to? morrow for the review of the regi sment on Thursday. The men were balking of the work and some are ?wondering how the multitudinous duties here will permit of a review. Governor Terrel, of Georgia, who ?was expected to review the thro .regiments from his State on Thurs? day, has notified them that he will .be unable to come.-The State. / w ------------ Deafness Cannot be Cured cy 'real applications, as they cannot reach the ci?ea;ed portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure d^af .^e~s, and that is by constitutional remedies. Dewiness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When cthis tube is inflamed you have a rum > hiing sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness :is the result, and unless the inflama tion can be taken out and this tube ? restored to its normal condition, hear? sing will be destroyed forever; nine ?cases out of ten are caused by Ca? tarrh, which is nothing but an in? canted condition . of the mucous sur? faces. * We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.

What I mean is, that if Japan wants a row with this country, now is the time for her to have it^out. For if we should get into a fight with her, ehe could easily take the Philippines. I don't mean that the American n?vy would not give good account of itself in a fight with Japan, but we would not be able Ito spare enough of our navy from the ! Atlantic to overcome the navy of I Japan so close to its home ''waters, i It woud be impracticable to take ali our shi-?s from the Atlantic.

Ninety-nine of every? one hundred people who have heart trouble can remember when it was simple indiges? tion. It is a scientific fact that all cases of heart disease, not organic, are not only traceable to, but are the direct result of indi? gestion. All food taken into the stomach, which fails of perfect digestion ferments and swells the stomach, puffing it up against the heart. This interferes with the action of the heart, and in ?he course of time that delicate but vital organ becomes .diseased. Mr. D. Kauble. of Nevada.
