She was stricken last week, and from
the first little hope of her recovery was
entertained. Many will mourn her
death who never had the pleasure OF her

SEPTEMBER CROP REPORT.
A Reduction in the Percentage of General
Average from Former Months.

A Reduction in the Percentage of General
Average from Former Months.
Washington dispatch: The Septem-
Der crop report makes the general average
of corn 81, reduction of nearly 5 points;
of winter wheat when harvested 1914, a
decrease from 81 on July ]; of spring
wheat 500, an increase from s1.2 in
August. This makes the general average
of all wheat $40. The general condition
of oats is 80, instead of 92.3 last month; of
rye, 91.6; of barley, $50 instead of 9O.6;
OF buckwheat, 92.l instead of &5.2; of
tobacco, 16.2, reduction from S4.4 The
percentage Of stock hogs available for fat
tening is 101; condition, So.
The corn crop is a week late in large
proportion of its breadth. In the Ohio
valley and lake region there has been q
marked reduction of condition during the
last month from drought following the
heavy rains OF early summer. In Ohio
and Indiana there was previous injury to
bottom land crods by floods. In Michigan
and Wisconsin the effects of drought and
other influences are most injurious. There
is complaint of drought west Of the Missis-
sippi. too late in the sea son for serious re-
duction. West of the Missouri conditions
have been more favorable than in any
other part of the country and the crop is
very large.

known as cold Fes." He was good
musician. but petulant and quarrel
some.
In the winter of 1862 our regiment
was on the steamer Northerner, on the
Mississippi, and bound for some point
below Helena, Ark. Soldiers on steam
ers have a pretty tough time Of it:
They are not allowed in the cabins, and
in bad weather the balance Of the boat
has few attractions. There is hardly a
chance to cook even coffee, and tat
pork with hard-tack does not consti-
tute a very appetizing bill OF fare.
One dav our band decided to improve
on this by making some apple dump,
lings. For this purpose they secured
large sheet iron pan, filled II WIN
dirt and placed it on the hurricane
deck. Then they needed some Hour

they soaked bareback and kneaded 1t

nificent memorial of victory. It was
written once, and best written, upon
the hearts Of thousands who saw the
death struggle, in the shrieks of
wounded men, dying in deserted heaps
between the lines of battle, OF perish
ing hopelessly or miserably in the
flames kindled by the torch or by fiery
shot. The dead were not those alone
who had been mortally wounded.
Want of surgical attention, want of
water, and the flames that swept over
the parched field in an onset which no
soldiers could withstand, swelled the
fatal list.
AS pictured to me by soldiers who
had fought throughout those two ter
rible days, the scene must have been
horribly pathetic.
The woods were as dry as powder,
and they were in some way set on fire
during the fight Sunday. The widow
Glenn's house, Rosecrans' headquar-
tiers, was burned down. All through
the woods that skirted the right side
of the Dry Valley road there had been
terrific fighting and heavy slaughter.
The dead and wounded numbered the
ground. Through this corpse-laden
grove swept the long line Of fire. 1t
leaped from twig to twig, from leaf tc
leaf, and from corpse to corpse. Meth
er blue nor gray was spared by this
barbarian spoiler. Nor did the dead
only constitute this enormous funeral
pyre; the wounded soldiers, stricken
down by shot, writhed and groaned
amid the flames.
II was where dying men lay in the
track of the fire." said the Confederate
soldier, "but I could do nothing. Twas
wedged in the line and on wild rusl
at the enemy. There was only one way
to go-straig ht ahead. When I came
back the ground had been swept by tho
flames and the wounded had ceased
their groaning."

the allies numbered $4,000 and 1856
guns. At Gettysburg the Union army
numbered $4,000 men and 800 guns;
the Confederates 10000 and $50 guns.
at Waterloo, Wellington's army lost
%, 1856; at Gettysburg, Meades army
lost 23,003. The loss of the French
at Waterloo has never been officially
announced, but has been estimated at
26,3O0. The Confederate loss at Gettys-
burg, as officially reported by the
Confederate Surgeon General, was
20,446, to which must be added 7,O77
wounded and unwounded prisoners
whose names We're omitted from his
lists, but appear on the records at
Washington. In short, the battles of
Waterloo and Gettysburg were fought
with from 10000 to 80, 600 men on each
side, and the combatants lost about
$4,000 men each. In the battle of
Gravelotte Tranco-Prussian war; the
Germans lost total Of 2O,577 out of
LAG, 900 troops engaged. This was the
heaviest loss the Germans sustained
in any battle. At Gettysburg Meade
lost more men than half the number
engaged. The aggregate percentages
of loss compare as follows: In the
Franco-Prussian war that of the Ger
mans was B. per cent. in the Crimean
war the Allies lost 80 per cent. in
the war of 1866 the Austrian loss was
2.6 per cent. In the American civil
war the Union loss was Al per cent,
and that of the Confederates 9 per
cent.
The total loss of the Union armies
was 10000 killed or MORTAL y wounded
and 275,175 wounded; total, 385, 245,

whose number has not yet been official.

DIVIDING THE REWARD,
Various People Want Slice ofthe Reward
Offered for HDizhay's Arrest.

The arrest at Republic, Wis, ofthe
highwayman Holzhay has given rise to no
enc. of hard feelings. There are half
dozen principal claimants for the rewards
offered for his arrest, and every one
who saw the capture made, or was within
half mile of the place at the time, is
claiming slice. The facts about the ar
rest, as learned by your correspondent
after thoro, u examination of the parties
who made it. are as follows: Marshal
Globe, who is the only regular police off
Ger in the village, approached the suspect
single handed. without revolver or oven
club. Holzhay idrew his revolver, but
the weapon was seized by Globe. A
Struggle ensued, and Whelan, coming up
opportunity, struck Holzhay twice, knock
ing him down. Mr.. Weiser and others
then came to their assistance and the
prisoner was taken to Jail. Marshal
Globes GOODNESS and bravery deserve rec
ognition, ANA the people Of the town will
present him with i. substantial token of
their regard. AS Holiday Will be tried at
Bessemer for murder, the government re-
ward of 81, 010 will not be paid. As the
amount of the reward grows smaller the
claimants for 1t become more numerous.
