The amended high license bill pro-
vides that where the vote for governor
at the last election exceeded $50 the
license shall be $500 year; towns that
did not cast over $50 votes for governor,
$500 per year; taverns three miles from
any town. 500 per year. As Grange
vile polled 2l3 votes for governor at the
last election the saloon men here will
have to pay $500 year. or quit. This
will be "ducl6e" for the stores, which
will peddle whisky by the quart under
the present low license system. We
have always noticed that when legis-
lature starts in to pull down a saloon
keeper it generally succeeds in building
up somebody else in the same line OF
business.

Don't Like Irrigation Monopolies.

your State asking information about
land for small colony of IL or Is fami-

years report, which l have read. 1t
has led my attention to Idaho county.
We want land where little or no irriga.
ton is done, with water and grass and
timber, and range for stock, so mixed
farming can be carried on, but under no
circumstances will we have anything to
do with irrigation monopoly. The wri-
ter is stopping at Salt Lake now, but the
rest of the party are at La Crosse, Wis

of small means but hard workers.
Please give me detailed information
about Elk City basin and the nearest

came the young ladies when they saw

hung flowers around the necks of the
hunted men, and sang in musical
chorus, ooh, You darling Confederates. y
A struggling Confederate, fat, greasy
and ragged, came up hogging jaded

could not keep up with his associates
He was just in time to hear the invoca-
ton of the young ladies, and yelled out,

was a bolt. The lagsard pounded on be

swell my father was soldier-a

THE father, after lying in the hospital

An Old Soldier.


Among the names Of those who have
been decorated with the medal of honor
Is that of Sergeant James Fegan, who
for thirty-fve years was soldier in the
United States army. His record shows
that he enlisted in 1851, re-enlisted sew
eral times, participated in thirty battles,
and was wounded five or six times.
Army regulations ordain that the funeral
escort of sergeant shall consist of six
teen priyates, commanded by a sergeant,
and accompanied by the non-commis-
stoned officers of the company wearing
side arms only.
When Sergeant Fegan died at Fort
Shaw, Mon, the colonel ordered out the
whole garrison to follow the remains of
a man whose years of faithful service
and brave deeds We're thought worthy Of
extraordinary honor.
Fegan was an Irishman who loved the
service, and delighted to participate in
its duties and dangers. One day in 1867,
when his regiment was at Fort Dodge,
on the banks of the Arkansas, Fegan
called at the abode of his lieutenant
accompanied by his wife and son.
He called to put s., 800 in the ieuten-
ants hands To keep for him. Standing
erect, feet . inches in laight, he put
his left hand on the boys head, saluted
with his right hand and said:
"Liftinint! the proudest feather in his
fathers cap it will be when he sees this
lad idducatrd like an officer and GIN
tleman. An we've got the money to do
it, too-haven't we, ould woman? Dhrop
curtsy. woman! Right hand salute,
james, TO the liftin,ntl'
When the son grew up he enlisted in
the fathers regiment. He was promoted
to be first sergeant of the company, and
thus there was presented the singular
spectacle of father and son serving as
sergeants in the same regiment.
Fegan senior was respectful and sol
dierly in his demeanor to officers, who
were to him of the quality" and he ex-
acted similar respect to himself when on
duty.
One night mt the guard house, he be-
ing the sergeant of the guard, was ad-
dressed by recruit as Jim"
Whack! and the raw recruit was
sprawling.
Jim, is it?' roared the irate sergeant.
"Whin I'm on dhuty it's Sergeant Fay
gan yc'll call me- Win I'm off dhuty,
thin, an not till thin, I'm Jim. Dye
mind it? Dye mind it?'-G. A. Il. Ga

STORIES OF BARRETT.
OPINIONS OF THE DEAD ACTORS
Nel6ABORS IN WALPoLe.

lie Found His Charming Wife-H"w lie
Was Regarded by Ills simple Friends
Near His Country Home.
AWAY np in tho hills of Norfolk coun-
ty. nestled among the woods, about a
mile and a hall from the town OF
Walpole, there stands what Is now
known as the Cobb Farm, but ut one
time this was the home of the Ia
mented tragedian, Lawrence Barrett,
and as such 1t is known for miles around
The old settlers delight in pointing II
out to visitors. These same people also
love to speak of the good old times when
Mr.. Barrett came home.
They all speak of the tragedian as
"Mr.n Barrett.
In an interview with one aged resi-
dent of the locality much of the late
actors career WAS learned.
"Why, yes; every one in these parts
remembers the young actor, and also his
charming wife. 1t used to be quite a
time when ne returned after long tour,
and it was along the shady lanes and IN
pretty hooks in the woods that he sought
rest and quiet for his ovcrworked brain.
But tell you it did not take him
long to recuperate. He would have
hardly been here week before he
would be wandering off into the woods,
book in hand, to study. Come, and !
will show You one of his favorite spots
where have known Mr.. Barrett to stay
for hours, rchearsing his part, with
nothing but the birds and squirrels for
his auditors, so far as he knew But
many is the time that a few of uSneigh-
bors have stolen down to within earshot
of the actor and listened to his words. 1t
was great treat for us all"
BARRETT IN LOVE
In answer to the inquiry rs to how
Mr.. Barrett came TO reside among them
the old gentleman gave quite chuckle,
and with his face wreathed in smiles,
said:
why, bless your heart, he fell in love
with one Of our pretty girls. / say one,
because we have always had many in this
district. She was Il Mary Mayer, who
lived with her uncle, John NJ. Mayer,
who then resided at the old homestead.
You see, Mary was bright, intelli-
gent girl, who had been given an excel
lent education by her father, Philip
Mayer. He kept confectioners store
on fremont street, Boston, and al
though Mary lived out here with her
uncle she frequently visited her parents,
and there became acquainted with Mr.,
Barrett. They formed a friendship,
which soon ripened into love, and mar
riage was the result
AFTER their marriage they made the
farm their home. 1t was here ther
