The most generally useful medicine is Ayers
Pills. AS a remedy for the various diseases
of the stomach, liver, and bowels, these
Pills have no equal. Their sugar-coating
causes them not only to be easy and
pleasant to take, but preserves their medi-
cinal integrity in all climates and for any
reasonable length of time. The best family
medicine, Ayers Pills are, also, unsurpassed
for the use of travellers, soldiers, sailors,
campers, and pioneers. In some of the
most critical cases, when all other remedies
have failed,

GROWING OLD GRACEFULLY.

And so the old soldier lived and grew
old gracefully. After his busy career,
in which he was soldier, banker, school
teacher, lawyer and then soldier again,
he enjoyed a leisure that was indeed
well earned. The two best beloved of
his famous comrades, Grant and Sheri-
dan, had been called to another life by
the great Commander-in-C Chief.
Three of of his famous old army COM
manders remain, however, Gen. Seho-
field, holding the highest position in our
armies, is in Washington. Gen. o. o.
Howard, who commanded one wing of
Sherman's army on its famous march,
is in New York, and Gen. Slocum,
who commanded another wing, is in
Brooklyn.
Gen. Wager Swayne, another of Gen.
Sherman's old commanders, is also in
business in this city and very vigorous
veteran he is. OF course there are many
of the men left who followed him from
Atlanta to the sea, but they are all of
them gray and grizzled now, and their
ranks are fast being decimated.
THE IDEAL SOLDIER.
Gen. Sherman, bluff though he was in
his manner at times, easily endeared
himself to all who came in contact with
him. In the army, while he knew the
value of discipline and would be as
stern as any man on occasion, his kindly
nature was always apparent to the sol
diers who served under Uncle Billy, y
in fact, he possessed the ideal soldierly
character, simple. direct. brave and

DEATH OF ADMIRAL PORTER.


Admiral David d. Porter died sud
denly at his home in Washington at
8:15 o'clock Friday morning, February
18th. Death resulted from fatty degen-
Grafton of the heart, with which and
other diseases the Admiral had suffered
for several months. Since the death of
Farragut he has been the greatest and
best known figure in the American
navy. He sprung from line of sea
fighters, five generations of his ancestry
having won renown in the quarter deck.
His father, Commodore David Porter,
was one of the heroes of the war 1872,
and commanded the famous ship Essex.
His distinguished son was born June s,
1914. He received an early schooling
in maritime warfare, serving with his
father, who in 1926 took command of
the Mexican navy. He then entered
the American navy, serving in various
parts of the world until 1845, when he
accompanied the troops to Mexico. In
1861 he held the rank of commander
and was at once called upon to relieve
Fort Pickens at Pensacola, which he
did quickly. When the capture of New
Orleans was planned, he originated the
idea of flotilla of mortar boats, and
bombarded Forts Jackson and st. Philip.
After the fall of New Orleans he was
entrusted with the command of all naval
forces on the Mississippi. He captured
various points along the river, and gave
valuable assistance to Grant in the cap
ture of Vicksburg, In 1864 he was
transferred to the Atlantic coast. He
served on the James River, and COM
manded the naval port of the expedition
which captured Fort Fisher and closed
the port of Wilmington in 1865. In 1866
he was made Vice Admiral. For two
years he had charge of the Naval
Academy at Annapolis, and in 1870, on
the death of Farragut, was appointed
Admiral.
He had some literary ability and
wrote several books, historical and ficti-
tious. He was a man of resolution,
dash and perseverance. Though his
plans were at times cratic, they were
lways bold and original. He was of
the highest type of American sailor

to be prolix. Gen. Sherman likes one
to get to the point at once. If the visitor
is not able to do this he is likely to be
interrupted.
There is one sort of caller who is
always received with warmth. and that
is one of Gen. Sherman's old soldiers, or
his "boys," as he calls them. Just how
much assistance Gen. Sherman gives to
old and unfortunate soldiers it would be
hard to say. No one but himself knows,
and he won't tell. But these are among
the more numerous of the visitors at his
house. Besides them there are all sorts
and conditions of callers at his house.
Gen. Sherman is methodical in his
habits and in his work. He is an early
riser. He eats an early and a light
breakfast, and afterward is to be seen
in his library at the end of the hall on
the parlor floor of his house. He has
comparatively large library, not entirely
made up of military books either. He
has always had keen literary taste, and
there are few men who are better posted
on the literary and historical records OF
this and other lands.
A large amount of the space in his
library is taken up by the maps which
were drawn by himself and his Generals
during the civil war. He has the orig
inal copies of the maps, and there is
scarcely a day when he is not called
upon to settle by reference some dispute
as to a military maneuver made by him
self or some other General. These maps
are his hobby, and very valuable they
are, too, viewed from any standpoint.
|
Quite a while ago Gen. Sherman an
nounced that he would make no more
speeches.
Doubtless he meant what he said. But
he was not able to keep his word.
He still kept on making speeches, and
what is more, they were good ones. He
received more requests to attend public
dinners than any other man in New
York except Chauncey NJ. Depew. Being
only one man, he did not attend them
all, for the reason that it was physically
impossible for him to do so. But he
was at all of the big ones, as chippel
and bright as the youngest, and as al
after-dinner speaker he was in it with
the best of them.

A QUEER THIEF HUNT IN AN IOWA
TOWN.
"A Desperate and His Fourteen-Year-oid
Brother Taking Pot shots at the
sherin's Men-Theft over the State
Line Leads To War.

BOWEN, Iowa, Sept. GA situation
somewhat resembling the famous capture
OF Frank Almy In New Hampshire exists
here as the result of mysterious robbery.
For some time past many robberies have
occurred here, and people have been in q
state Of painful suspense, not knowing
where next 20 look for pilfering. The
latest case was at the store of j. Il. Scott,
Denver Ill Saturday Mr. Scott got a
search warrant for the house Of Frank
Jarvis, and, with Constable Saunders,
started for Bowen, the home Of the sus-
pected persons.
When they reached here Jarvis and his
little brother, IA years old, tried TO escape
through the rear window of the house,
with sack of the stolen goods, but were
interrupted by Saunders who commanded
them TO halt. They responded by shooting
at him FIVE or six times, one shot taking
effect in his leg.
The two brothers then escaped TO the
woods and under cover of the darkness
managed TO get into forty acre corn field
where they are now surrounded by the
sheriff and fifty armed men, who are de-
termined TO wait and effect their capture
when the outlaws get hungry.
Meanwhile they are trying 20 satisfy
their hunger on raw corn aud amusing
themselves by firing an occasional bullet
at some venturesome deputy. That part
OF lowa's corn crop will be harvested late.
