til Wednesday, when a party came to
bury the dead. He was discovered to
be alive and was sent to hosl ital
where ne was afterwards recognized
by his uncle who was rebel surgeon,
who took him TO his home and after
wards 10 Key West, Fla, from which
place he was sent to the poor house
where he remained seventeen years.
He was then sent to Cha hatanooga where
he remained i'm the poor house seven
years. From Chattanooga he wander
ed to Henderson, KY, where he was
again poor house inmate for a year.
Since then he has drifted from place
to place and he seems to have had but
little knowledge of passing events un-
til about the time of his appearance in
McLeansboro two weeks ago when a
CLEAN of reason seemed to lift the mist
from his intellect and he told the story
of his shadowed life.
He has been positively identified by
his brothers and some of his old COM
rades and neighbors. His wife is still
living i'm Texas, has not remarked
and has for years been drawing pen
sion on account of the supposed death
of her husband. She has been notified
by telegraph of her husbands return
and is expected back from Texas at
once and big family reunion will
then be held at the home of William
Newly who was for thirty years an
almost unconscious wanderer upon the
earth. f. NJ. ECKLEY.

Thirty Years A wanderer.

EDITOR REGISTER: A sad story OF
the war comes to me this week from
my old hOme-McLeansboro, Hamil-
ton county, Ill.
In 1861 VIM. Newly enlisted in Go.
ID 10th Ill. Vol. On the 9th day of
April 1862 he was shot in the head at
the battle of Shiloh and left as dead
upon the field. One OF his comrades
afterward made affidavit that he help
ed bury him.
Last fall a man appeared in Nc
Leansboro who could give but little
account of himself. He stated that he
was once a resident of the county and
wanted to 60 to the county poor farm.
Nothing more was heard of him un-
til about two weeks ago, when he
again appeared aud announced that he
was William Newly, of Co. ID 40th
Ill. regiment. Several members of the
regiment met him and talked with
him and all of them believed that he
was their old comrade, Newly, who
was supposed 10 have been killed a;
Shiloh thirty years ago. Moses Rob-
inson and Greed Lay, members of the
regiment.who saw him shot, and after
he wss shot thought him dead, pro-
nouuced him the veritable Vim. New
by.
A few days ago Newly applied
through A NJ. Wilson, lawyer, for a
pension, and four of his old comrades
made affidavit that he was the identi-
cal Newly who had been left as dead
upon the battle fild of Shiloh.
He is suffering from partial paraly-
sis, epilepsy and what the doctors call
EOeoRlOtoT dtd.rid, as a result of the
wound in bis head. He says he laid
upon the battlefield from Sund5y un-

FRANK MCGRATH, president of the
Kansas Farmers Alliance, has ad
dressed letter TO the brethren in the
South in which he gives them plain
warning that unless they cut loose
from the Demo cratic party and join
in with the third party movement in
1892, they may expect the Alliance in
the North to return to the Republican
party. II believe 1 voice the senti-
ment of the Northwest" says Presi-
dent McGrath, "when L say that the
Farmers Alliance in the Northwest
ern States will either be i'm union with
South Sin the middle of the road in
1892 or the Northwestern States will
return to their old time majorities for
the old party" A declaration like
that will be bitter medicine TO the
Bourbons of the South and it will be
interesting to note how they take it.

A Word of Cheer.

AS there are no doubt many farmers
that are getting somewhat discouraged
ON account of the excessive rain, l
would like to give word of encour-
agement, as / have been in Allen
county thirty-four years. First look
back to the year 1860, when farmers
could work all the time, never had to
stop on account of rain, and when all
the hard work was done the result
was nothing. Then we will come
down to 1875. On the 14th day of June
farmers commenced planting corn for
the second time, the first crop having
been eaten up by the grasshoppers.
L had thirty-five acres of promising
looking wheat and just as it commenc-
ed heading, the hoppers commenced
on it and did not leave enough to pay
for cutting. But with all the draw
backs and late planting we raised a
splendid crop of corn. 1 see some
wide-awake farmers are ditching to
give the water free access from off the
fields while others let it stand on the
fields until it evaporates or gradually
soaks away, and they go a-fishing. /
would say to those that are down i'm
the mouth to cheer up and do their
duty whenever all opportunity affords
and all will come out right in the end.

The Care of the Poor

EDITOR REGISTER: The total
amount of paupers bills allowed by the
commissioners at their last session was
S936.22 distributed as follows:
Geneva township 8 6.65I Poor farm s. % 81
Osage township $3.50 NarmatOn twp. 4aOO
lola township. 49,. 3g5 SO Elsmore twp . so 81
Cottage Grove twp 1900 Humboldt twp IA "a
In looking over the relatively large
bill made by the trustee of lola town
ship, which by the way does not in
clude his bill for services, it does seem
as if more care should be exercised in
extending aid. Not every one who
asks is worthy. Some of the recipients
are able bodied but out of work.
Would it not be well to give such men
work on our streets-some of them
would be glad of the chance-and let
them render a needed service.
