The Utica (N. Globe of July 0th contains the following sketch us well as an excellent half-tone engraving of Florence's one solitary soldier, George E. Truman: "In this, as in the civil war, Oneida county and Utiea have their heroes on the field. In the present conflict George E. Truman, popularly known in and about Utica as 'Doc' Truman, is playing well his part.

He is one of Roosevelt's body of Rough Riders, and was in the hottest of the fire in the gallant charge on Spaniards at Sevilla, and is bow in the ranks at Santiago. When last heard from he had escaped without a scratch from the Spanish guns. "'Doc' is the youngeet brother of Mrs. E. D.

Klock, of this city, and was born 30 years ago in Sauquoit. He obtained his education at the Sauquoit Academy. He was exceptionally bright at school, and in graduating carried oil first honors In all his olaases. From Sauquoit he came to Utica and was employed as bookecper for E. 1).

Klock. Ia Utici he was very popular with the young people, lieing of a genial, affable temperament, he made friends everywhere and was regarded as a good fallow by all. "About eight years ago he went west and joined his brother, W. who was engaged in mining operations in Arizona. Since that time he has seen much of western customs and baa familiarized himself with all the details of life upon the plains.

For three consecutive terms his brother has been sheriff of Pinal county, Arizona, and 'Doc' has seen considerable service as deputy sheriff during that time. When Roosevelt's Cavalry was organized he enlis-ed, being one of the kind of men wanted. He is unmarried and has nothing to interfere with his service." ChaB. W.

Editor Tmbcxe After having been on board ship fifteen days, we last evening were landed on shore at this place. Our gunboats shelled the town and drove out the few Spaniards that wei-a here, numbering 230. The insurgents attacked them as they departed, and though but little damage was done the Spanish, they left about all they had in the way of supplies behind and scattered along the road. We are a little above 20,000 strong. We were all day yesterday busy landing and are likewise engaged at the present time.

This place is. a Bmall town being a shipping point for iron mines. I am greatly surprised in the formation of the country, being as I expected full of undergrowth, but so mountainous and rough that to understand it it ought to be seen, being much more so than Mineral Kill and resembling to a great extent country east of the Vekol. The iasureents present a strange appearance, being of all kinds and classes and supplied with nothing except riHflS, machetes aud picuty ul cartridge, at.il though among them I see many boys, still they are. all imbued with confidence and il.o therefore good soldiers.

The Spanish are tough citizens In pretty much every way except having plenty of 6and. You will read of the atrocities committed near Santiago on the 22nd or 23rd, on the American dead. It is unfortunately true. I learn it from Cuban sources, high in authority. By the way, what little Spanish I know comes in handy.

In battle with the Cubans the Spanish take no prisoners, and to make it more emphatic neither do the Cubans. Up till last evening, among the boys, we were going to war and to fight just because it had to be done and some one must do it. Matters are different now; it is a greater fight for right and justice than you who are not here can by reading understand. You have Been that old fellow that stops down at Brady's, that always wears sandals and we call him loco. Compare him with the average Cuban as he is clothed and the sandal man is a dude.

From here Santiago ia about 27 miles, and there are, according to the Cubans, about 15,000 Spanish soldiers. Of course yon must understand they have plenty of artillery; as a consequence we will have some work to got in shr.pe to give the a chance, but have plenty of men to take and hold the town. i After the battle, unless something unforseen arises, I will drop you a line telling in a condensed form how it-happened. I am now writing in a house and feel fine. The wind blows anything but a gentle breeze.

The house ia well ventilated, having the appearance of an overgrown pepperbox. Our fleet yesterday tossed several handf uls of shells and shot over here, and it makes this house a very desirable habitation in pleasant weather. I find the sun here to be very hot. The summer weather has the feeling of being warmer than at this time in Arizona, Thus far I've not received a letter from Arizona, and while it is true that I would be pleased to be sot favored, still I've been lucky enough to get two oopies of tbe Tkibunb, and you can put it down they were appreciated. Continue sending to Tampa until otherwise advised.

With kindest regards and best wishes to you aad all friends I am, Yours most sincerely, Geo. E. Teumas. Twelve miles east op Saxtiaoo, Cuba, June 25. Editor Tbibukb; On June 24th, about 7, tbe Bongn Riders on the left of the advance, and tha 9th, 10th and part of thy.lsfr- U.

S. cavalry (a total of about 1500 men) were attacked on the rife-Lt. The Kough Riders deployed to the left, going down a sharp grade of about 100 yards into a bottom. We were then thrown out into a skirmish line toward the left. The men often could not see each other when three paces separated, the undergrowth was so dense.

My company (B troop) was in its position on the left of the regiment when the battle commenced, and had not yet got down the grade. The firing first commenced on the right, but as Co. came down the hill firing came from the front and left front. About half a mile ahead of us the lowlands closed Into a shape, with heights on both sides. The rattle of musketry and whiz of bullets occupied bur attention, but not a man flinched.

There was not a Spaniard ni sight just think of it! We were virtually ambushed, but orders were given to advance, and the boys went in, firing at smoke and sometime a Spaniard or bunch of them as we got closer. When about 200 yards from them they abandoned their entrenchments and from what we hear retreated to Santiago. The Spaniards numbered 4000. We lost 8 men now dead, 9 missing and 32 wounded as we now hear it. The Spanish loss, according to dead found, was from 60 upwards.

Best of good wishes. Geo, Thuman. Wanamakar is Right. (From The New lime.) "In order for us to have good times the people must not only make money, but they must also spend it freely. The two things are reciprocal.

It is the market that keeps the factories aad the stores aud pays the wages." This is what John Wanamaker said recently. Mr. Wanamaker is one of the few rich men in this country with a glimmer of eeouomic sense. The average editorial idiot is advising the people to save their monev. Thev must be saving it; they certainly are not spending much of it.

Nothing will so quickly breed hard times as an epidemic of economy. There is a circulating medium of but $23 per capita, and probably $15 of this is in the banks or otherwise idle. If the people save the remaining which is not much to save what becomes of our circulating medium? And yet the people are urged to save their money. leu might as well ask a man to save his breath or dam up the circulation of his blood. Under our present laugh-utile fiyntenn of society the spendthrift is a benefactor and the prudent man ie an eni'my to the public welfare.

As Parson Whin emore was at Casa Grande on the 3rd and at Gila-Crossing on the 10th, he has decided to remain here on the 17th. He leaves for Colorado Springs on Monday and spends Sabbath, the 24th, at the latter place, gives an address before the "Indian School Service Institute" on the 25th and returns so as to spend Sabbath, the 31st, at Casa Grande. The Bible study class will be brief Sabbath evening next and followed by a Bermon at 8 :15. Prayer meeting at tbe Parsonage on Tuesday evening. All are welcome.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pro-nounced it a local disease, and -scribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.

Cheney Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the sys tem. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure Send for circulars and testimonials. Address.
