Gated last evening. Morning service
yesterday consisted of sermon, songs
and collection. The building cost
$2500 OF this sum $500 had been
provided for from the Church Exten-

was still to be secured $3.50 before the
dedication could be made. Solicitors
worked the audience and announced
the dedication for last evening, as
the sum was secured. The church is
a plain, neat little building, seating
comfortably about $50 persons. There
we're 139 in it yesterday forenoon and

latter standing. More money was
asked for and the dedication service
read.

Useful TO Ranchmen.

There is very simple way to check
the growth of sagebrush in this region
of country, which is not, perhaps,
known to all, but which experienced
ranchmen understand all about. If
water can be let in over the land so
that the turf can become saturated
and remain so for awhile, it will kill
the sagebrush SO that not even the
roots will possess any vitality again,
and there will be no more trouble
from the growth of sagebrush.

has left its ineffaceable record upon his genial
countenance, by the flying fragment of a shell,
by which he was knocked off his horse while
leading charge. He soon after remounted
and kept his position, capturing the identical
battery by which he was wounded. Again he
was, on the same day, knocked from his horse
by the fragment of an exploded shell, which
caused an injury from which he has never re-
covered
To the prudent foresight and engineering
skill of Gen. Rogers and his Western Brigade,
the army and the country were indebted for
the works at Altoona Pass, Ga, where the gal
liant Corse checked the headlong march Of Gen.
Hood in his flank movement after the capture
of Atlanta.
Gen. Rogers commanded the Second Brigade
of the Fourth Division of the Seventeenth
Corps for a year and a half, including the At
lanta campaign, and was very properly re-
wardod by promotion. "an honor fairly and
bravely won," as DIR. Eddy says in his Pat
riOtism of Illinois" or, as Gov. Yates once
wrote: "Gen. Rogers won his promotions not
by personal or political influence, but with his
sword and in the field"
A genial, whole-soued man, he will do honor
to the position to which he was recently ap-
pointed as Chairman of the Board of Pension
Appeals by Secretary Lamar. who, in that
graceful act, complimented himself as well as
the Western volunteers, with whom Gen.
AeoSOio Aao always pcOli pcCuiidi Iafoiitc
In politics he has adhered to the Democratic
party. He has been very active worker po-
litically, and has been three times delegate
to national Democratic conventions.
Gen. Rogers has successfully practiced law in
Illinois and Kansas since the close of the war.
He has held several important civil positions;
has been County Attorney of Greenwood Co.,
Kan; also, a member of the State Board Of
Charitable Institutions of that State.
He is warm friend of the old soldier, and is
receiving many compliments from all quarters
for the manner in which he fills his present
honorable and responsible position.
The General was married to Miss Josie Carey,
of Turner Junction, H., in 1871, who has borne
him two bright, intelligent sons aged respect
lively 10 and II, and who bid fair to be chips
of the old block"
The old vets tell many interesting and laugha-
bic stories around the GAR campfres of the
Generals military life, but all agree that he
was true, kind hearted brave soldier, and be-
lieved in honorable warfare and opposed pill
lage, devastation, or making war upon the
weak and defenseles5.
The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1886-01-21

Gen. George Clarke Rogers was born in Pier
mont, Grafton Co, N. H His father, Capt.
Charles Rogers, and his mother, Mrs. Permeia
(Ramsey) Rogers, were natives of that State.
The General is direct descendant of John
Rogers, who was burned at the stake at Smith
field. There were IL children. Six boys were
in the Union army at one time. When a youth
the General migrated to the Western country,
which has ever since been his home.
The rudiments of his education were received
at Bradford, Vt, and completed at the Academy
at Waunconda. Lake Co., ILL., After leaving
school he was employed as teacher, devotng
his surplus time to the study of the law at Wau-
kegan, Ill. He was admitted to tho bar before
the Supreme Court at Springfield, ILL.,. in 1860.
AS an admirer of the Little Giant" Hon.
S. A. Douglas, he eloquently and logically sup
ported that gentleman during the national
canvass of 1860 and perhaps no one was more
favorably and generally appreciated than the
young orator from Waukcgan. 1t was in this
exciting canvas that he established his reputa-
ton rs an orator of extraordinary gifts, a rep
utation which he has since maintained among
the people of the Western country to the pres.
ent time.
As the descendant of a line Of Revolutionary
patriots, at the breaking out Of the rebellion lie
was among the first to raise his voice in the effort
to sustain the Government and the first to raise
q company in Lake County, Ill. Enlisting as
private soldier he was mustered with his
company into the 18th Ill. as First Lieuten-
ant, and was soon after made Captain. His
conduct at the battle of Shiloh made him con-
spicuous among his compatriots, as well as to
those to whom he was opposed, the evidence of
which he bears in the scars of four wounds re-
ceived in that battle. Mangled as he was with
pertinacity which was subsequently remarked
as personal characteristic he refused to leave
the ranks, and remained upon the field until
the last shot was fired. He gallantly led his
regiment in the last charge, which Gen. Grant
remarks as closing the last act of that bloody
drama.
He was Immediately promoted by Gov. Yates
to the rank of Lieutenant-C Colonel for meri-
torious conduct on the battlefield in place of
Lieut-Col. Ellis killed during that battle He
was soon after commissioned Colonel of his
regiment for distinguished conduct at the battle
of the Hatchie-or, in the words of Gen. S. A.
Hurlbut, who was in command, Hell on the
Hatchie,'-in place of Col Thos J. Turner re-
signed.
AT the battle of Champions Hill Gen. Rog-
ers received two wounds; the first of which
