TIC states, the total precipitation for the month
In these regions ranging from two to six inches.
The weather has been especially favorable
for farm work throughout the winter and spring

was in the Confederate army, and a
member of Harry Gilmore's band of
Confederate cavalry. Young Daley
had no respect for the amenities of
civilized life on military conduct, and
knowing every foot Of the country
about Cumberland he one day de-
termined to play practical 10. e on
his brother-in-law. Organizing band
of adventurous spirits as wild and
reckless as himself, he entered Cum
berland at the dead of night, and hav-
ing good friends in the town to assist
him and post him as to every approach
to General Crooks headquarters, he
captured his prey and carried him off.
The scene was very dramatic one,
and while it caused General Crook the
one regret of his life, it resulted in a
rebuke to the wild spirit which carried
it into execution.
Young Daley and his party had pro-
vided themselves with three extra
horses. About midnight they rode
into town dressed in the guise of Fed
eral soldiers They halted near Crooks S
headquarters. Three of them passed
up the steps of the building where he
and one of his communicable w.
II. Emery-lay asleep. They met one
of the staff officers on the steps and
asked to be shown to the commanding
officer, saying that they had important
dispatches. The Lieutenant obeyed
their request and showed them to the
room where the Generals were asleep.
One of the Confederates took care of
the staff officer, while the other two
entered the apartment, and the first
intimation General Crook had of dan
ger was when he was awakened by his
brother-in- laws call, who said in whis-
pered tones:
You are my prisoner. One word of
outcry and you are dead man. am
Jim Daley"
The other Confederates had done a
similar duty with General Emery, and,
with revolvers pointed at their heads,
the two generals arose, dressed them
selves, and followed their captors.
They were hustled down stairs, mount
ed on the reserve horses, and carried as
rapidly as possible within the Confed-
crate lines. The cavalry leader who
had sanctioned this escapade sent them
at once to General Lees headquarters.
As soon as General Lee heard the
story of their capture he ordered them
back into the Union lines, with re-
buke to the spirits who had sanctioned
this adventure. While the escapade
never reflected upon General Crook in
the slightest, it caused him any amount
of uneasiness, and he never forgave his
brother-in-law for this breach of the
amenities of honorable military life.

characters as Grant, Sheridan, and
Rufus Ingalls,. He remained in the
army after they all left the regiment,
and in 1861 he was captain in perhaps
what was the most remarkable military
organization this country has ever
known. But when war came he left it
for his home near Dayton, Ohio, and
while there was made Colonel of the
Twenty-sixth Ohio Infantry. With
his new command he moved into West
Virginia and was placed in command
of that department, with headquarters
at Cumberland, Md. While stationed
there he married the daughter of John
Daley, who was a political power in
that county. Mr.. DALEY kept a sum-

the artist, to the tactlclan, and to the
student who studies the art of war.
One was a sheer waste of human life,
indeciSive: the other has always been
referred to as the Waterloo of the Con-

The last Confederate return indicates

reports of the Army of the Potomac,

Federal ranks were thinned by long
marches; especially the forced marches
on July and left stragglers on the
road On the lst of July Is, 600 Federals
were opposed TO $1,000 Confederates,
and got the worst of it. On the ID

that did not report, and Confederate
regimental reports indicate larger
losses than the brigade returns. Gen
eral Grant places the effective strength
of the Union forces on the first day at
Shiloh at $4,000. Five thousand re-
endorsements came on the field at night
fall. General Beauregard reported
the Confederate forces at 40.955. The
Federals lost in the two DAYS fighting.

General Grant states. I'VE buried, by
actual count, more of the enemv's dead
In front of the divisions of McClernand

Whether the figures are correct or not,
they indicate the nature of the strug-

ample material.
There is no lack Of material in any

But if we may never meet again il time,
We hope and trust Wen meet thee We'll meet

In eternitys divinely radiant cline.
Chorus
Yes our brother, ever dear
If We may not meet thee here,
Where thou wouldst give thy life our land to
save,
We would meet thee in that cline,
just beyond the shores of time
Where only meet the ever true and brave.
