Colonel William M. Van Home com-
manding Port Sheridan whore eight
companies of the Twenty-ninth in-
fnntry are located has forwarded to
the war department a powerful pro-
tent against the continued abolition of
the army caateen. Colonel Van j
Homo furnishes the department with
facts that are at ouce sensational and
from his standpoint. Incontrovertible
in support of his protest. He shows .
that seventy three men are in the
guard house nt the jjpst as a result of '
drunkenness and that 100 others are
missing and being searched for He
charges that the transformation of
Fort Sheridan into a prison- was
brought about by the abolishment of '
the canteen by art of congress.
For some time nfter the repealing
law was signed the soldiers behavod
nicely and tliore ware no evidences
of n disposition on their part to in-
dulge in wholesale Intoxication but
beginning latt Saturday when the
paymaster visited the post and the
soldiers received tholr money. Fort
Sheridan and vicinity have been In a
state of turmoil. The enlisted men
by hundreds' swarmed through thci
neighboring bar rooms and many of
them have gone on oxtandod periods
of intoxication nnd absented them-
selves from their post. Savonty-three
arrests have boon mado up to the
time Colonel Van Hore wroto his re-
port nnd besides nlno por cent of the
remainder of the command was miss-
ing This record Is pronounced by Ad-
jutant General Corbln as unprecedent-
ed in the history of army post In the
United States. Colonel Van Home
calls attention to the fact that when
the canteen was uelng conducted ai-
rests were few' and two cases of
drunkenness In one day were consid-
ered an unusual number. The town of
Ilighwood where the saloons patron-
ized by the soldiers are located Is ter-
rorized by dpiH'.cr. soldiers. There
have been shooting affrays and one
razor fight. At one time eighteen sol-
diers all in a state of helpless Intoxi-
cation were" found lying In a single
street. Privates Culllson nnd Price
are under arrest by the' civil authori-
ties of Cook county for fatally wound-
ing a comrade In a drunken brawl.
Colonel Van Homo makes no refer-
ence to tho recent visits to tho post
of Dr. Parkhurst and other Chicago
preachers and IiIb own differences
with them about tho desirability of!
restoring the canteen. He earnestly
recommends that the repealing law of
last winter be amended radically and
it is admitted at the war department
that the recommendation -. ill be fu
vorably considertd by Secretary Root
Adjutant General Sorbin is engaged
in preparing a table of statistic show
ing how drunkenness and cliaordnh
conduct was Increased ntnong no!
diers since the repeal of the canteen
law. The experience of CSlonel Van
Home at Fort Sherhlan is piactkal
ly the experience or every other pot
commandant in the United States and
the adjutant general's office says the
increase of drunkenness among the
enlisted men la simply appalling.

relief (o modest women In the privacy of their homes. Many of the best homes In this city are never
without this great medicine. It cures "whites" and falling of the womb and completely eradicates these
dragging periodical pains. Mrs. Davis' cure shows you conclusively what you may expect if you
follow her example and take Wine of Cardul. Thedford's Black-Draught aids Wine of Cardm by regu-
lating the stomach and bowels. When you ask your druggist for these medicines be sur you get

believe that the most men chew
tobacco for the good of the tobae-
co and not for the sake of a pre-
- miom. They are putting the
value of the premiums all in th
quality of the tobacco. The man
who chews Wetmorc's Best gets
his money's worth in good tobac-
co. He notices the difference in
flavor; in lasting quality; in satis-
faction and finds that all this
goodness costs him less than cheap
tobacco. Try a piece of Wet-
morc's Best and satisfy yourself
that it's "all in the quality."

"It S&ved My Life."
Wlllard III. August 1. 1000
I wai In bad health this spring and could not sit up In bed for four weeks when I
was confined my child died. When I began to sit up I felt to weak and had such terrible
rains In my back and hips. I had kidney trouble heart trouble and falling of the womb
also had hysterical spells. I was in a bad condition when I received your ' Ladles'

Draught. Since April 20th I have taken four bodies of Wine of Cardul ami three packages
of Thedford's black-Draught. I feci like a new person now. I can do all my work and

not been for Wine of Cardul. IT SAVED MY LIFE. Mrs. ALICE DAVIS
It is well that women are more patient than men. Few n en could bear
the bitter pangs the agony and distress that women endure. Thousands of
women have come to look upon suffering as a duty of their sex But there are
many instances of this heroic fortitude which

At an informal meeting of a few
democrats in the city of Guthrie on
the 6th day of March 1901 it was the
concensus of opinion that the forma-
tion of 'a Democratic club composed
of actUe Democrats from all parts of
the territory with permanent head-
quarters and open club rooms at some
central point would be of material
assistance in the upbuilding of the
Democratic party of the territory.
A temporary organization was ef-
fected and a committee appointed to
devise some plan of organisation.
That committee agreed that with an
annual membership fee of ten dollars
such a club organization could be per-
fected anil permanent club rooms
maintained and recommended that a
meeting of the Democrats of the ter
ritory be called for that purpose.
Now therefore In compliance with
the recommendation of the commit-
too a meeting of all the Democrats of
the territory who feel Interested in
the perfection of such an organization
Is hereby called to bo held at Okla-
homa City on the 13th day of June
1001 at 2 o'clock p. in.
