"Ertr. Billy" Smiths Command.


"When Gov. Extra Billy Smith, of
Virginia, was placed in command OF the
Forty ninth Regiment, in 1861" said o
Missourian, she was really too old for
service and not disposed to learn military
tactics. So when 1t became necessary to
give an order he would simply give ii
in his own way and in his own language.
Whenever he took his regiment into line
and placed 1t in position, and the skir-
mishing began his first order invariably
was:
Lay down, Forty-ninthp
BY this order he protected his men
from the fire of the enemy and saved them
from unnecessary exposure. But this
saying became common in the Army Of
Northern Virginia. When we were in
winter quarters and no enemy near, q
soldier would hrc of his gun and then the
famous order of Gov. Smith to his idol
boys all along the line.
"At the recent National Convention at
Chicago, on the last day of the proceed
ings, while the candidate for vice. presi-
dent was being nominated, q number Of
men stood up and so obstructed the view
that no one behind them could see the
delegates. There were cries of 'Sit
downv but the obstructionists paid no
attention to the audience until some old
soldier OF Lees army shouted:
Lay down, Forty-ninthp
"Well, sir, it was recognized at once by
all OF those old boys and repeated by
many of them, doubtless bringing back to
their memories In a vivid way the excit-
ing scenes of those years from 1851 to 1855.

A young man making a career for
himself nowadays, no matter what
profession he may choose, has a hard
row to hoe at its best. Obstacles are
far more numerous in young mans
path than are encouragements. 1t Is
unfortunate, but it is true, nevertheless,
that there are ten people in this world
ready to pull young man down whore
there Is one to help him up. Compe-
tition in all trades and profession is
keen; men are alert, and a young man, IL
he would succeed, cannot afford to loose
single point. Now, in this uneven
struggle, if there is one thing the right
sort OF young man needs 1t is home
encouragement. In the outer world he
is buffeted from post to pillar, and he
naturally seeks his home at the close Of
day thirsting for sympathy in his work
which he may not have found outside.
II, then, at his fathers or mothers
fireside, he is continually made to feel
that his struggles are distasteful to his
closest kim and is not only made to feel
so but is told SO, the fight is one which
only a few can successfully carry to the
end. Home love and sympathetic en-
cOuragement Is the most healing salve
for the wounds of the world, for man as
well as for boy, and cruel is that
paternal doctrine which would withhold
1t from son conscientiously struggling
for success In what he honestly feels to
be the work for which he is best
adapted. Ladies' Home Journal.

We are born we grow to manhood
and womarbood we marry; we work;
we die. The generations come and go,
and they come with call and go with sig
nificance. if there be not u confident hope
and expectation of something TO follow,
so grand, so sweet so beautiful that we
can look upon it all without misgiving
or pain. Faith draws the poison from
every grief, takes the sting from every
loss, and quenches the fire OF every pain,
and only faith can do this. Wisdom,
science, power, learning" all these are
blind and impotent before the great
problem Of life as ignorance and week
ness. The feeblest girl, believing in
in God and a hereafter, is an arch-angel
by the side of the strongest man who
questions her simple faith.

A late scientific Investigator has
come to the conclusion that the venom
of serpents is used by them for digestive
purposes, acting as the gastric juices OF
the stomach do in other animals. II
may be therefore that our prejudice
against the rattlesnabe is unjust. The
general impression has always prevailed
that he kept his envenomed fangs
for the sole purpose of iabing them into
his enemies but the fact that he does
not know they are loaded ought to be
regarded as an extenuating circum-
stances.-P Spirit.

of the Cooley gang, who hasS been
recognized as an outlaw for about three
years, but who has been noted as Il

several times at the officer with II

missed their mark, and a bullet from

There is little hope for the young
man who spends his time and money in
saloons or gambling houses. The young
man who drinks and gambles cannot be
trusted in the employ of responsible
firms. Nine out of ten Of the banks
that fail can trace their failure TO
illegitimate speculations by the bank
officials with the banks funds No
business institution can afford to keep
in their employ the young man who
takes pride In drinking and getting
drunk. There are plenty of young men
in the country who are sober to fill the
positions and they are the ones who will
be found there. Young man, look well
to your walk in life. Look well to your
associates. Look well to your ha bits.

Special to the Globe.
RAPID CITY, S. D., March 14.-Today
has witnessed another important change
in the aspect of the Williams divorce
case. Miss Boyd indicated herself
Saturday. completing her cross-exami-
nation this morning. and the day has
been given to hearing Mrs. Williams
story of her married life. 1t was sad
and gloomy one, the domestic troubles
havingjbegun with the marriage. Relig-
ion was the active source of their differ
ences, but the witness declared that
Mary O'Malley, the servant girl, was
not fanatic, and had no such influence
over her as Williams claimed. She
denied desertion or refusal to cohabt,
and said she had always been
anxious to live with her husband.
When questioned by Judge Fuller,
she said that she still had sufficient re-
gard for Williams to desire to live with
him.and this was independent of her re-
ligiOus objections to divorce. This, to-
gether with her appearance and appar-
ent truthfulness, has made the granting
of the divorce most uncertain. Not
withstanding Mrs. Williams expressed
wish, her attorneys amended her an
SWer so as TO ask for divorce and ali
mony, changing her attitude from re-
sisting divorce to asking for one. Cross
examination will be resumed tomorrow
morning, after which the plaintiff will
present further evidence in rebuttal.
During her examination Mrs. Williams
created sensation by asding for an in
terview with her husband. This was
not granted at the time, but confer
ence between the attorneys failed of re-
suits,

He Collected Money After Being
Fired From Office.
Special to the Globe.
BLUNT. s. D.. March 14.-Ex-Sheriff,
or Sheriff Faust, as the case may be, of
Sully county, was taken to jail at Pierce
Saturday evening, he having been
bound over to the grand jury, and hav-
ing failed, or refused. to give bonds for
his appearance in the sum of $500. At
the last general election November,
1890 Faust. the sheriff at that time, and
ID. &. Smith were the opposing candi-
dates-Fausts the Republican, and
Smith the Independent candidate. In
cOnvassing the vote the commissioners
saw fit to throw out the vote from what
is known as Little Bend township for
the reason that some nine United
States soldiers claimed the right to vote,
and the judge of the election, not know
ing whether or not to allow them to
vote, struck upon the expedient of hav
ing the vote OF said soldiers deposited In
a separate box, and the returns of said
vote made on separate sheet. This
box containing the soldier vote was
deposited in the regular box, and the
returns made in such manner that the
entire soldier vote might be eliminated
without jeapardiZing the returns of the
balance of the precinct vote. By throw
ing out the vote of this precinct, en-
tire, Faust was elected by small
majority and renewed his certificate
from the commissioners, and has con-
tinued to act up to date. Had the COM
missiOnerS eliminated the soldiers vote
only from the aforementioned district
Smith would have been elected by
majority. Smith contested the election
of Faust and carried his case to the cir
cnit court and Judge Fuller ordered the
vote of SAID precinct counted. Faust
appealed to the supreme court, where
the decision of the lower court was sus-
tanned.
The commissioners then recanvassed
the vote and found that Smith was
elected and issued him a certificate.
This occurred some months ago. Faust
has perSistently refused to tIrn over
the effects of the office, notwithstanding
the commissioners have repeatedly or
dered him to do so, and have refused to
recognize him in an official capacity.
On the other hand he has. as far as he
has had opportunity, Officiated as sher-
iff of the county. Some time last week
he held sale as sheriff, receiving the
fees for same. A warrant was sworn
out for his arrest on the charge of re-
ceiving money under false pretenses.
He was arrested and his preliminary
hearing had before Judge Evarts. of
Onida, who held him to the grand jury
and fixed his bail at $500, which Faust
refused or filled to give.

CHICAGO, March IA Leland hotel
through decision handed down in the
morning by the United States supreme
court at Washington. The fortunate
man is Gen. G. S. Warren, owner OF the
Butte Inter-Mountain, and member OF
the Republican national committee from
Montana. For some months he has
made his home in Chicago, dividing his
time between political matters and his
great suit at Washington. This suit
has continued for twelve years. 1t was
fought through the Montana courts,
where the decisions were in favor of
Gen. Warren, and was finally carried to
the United States supreme court. This
afternoon the general received dis
patch from the attorneys stating that
the court had affirmed the lower de-
cisions. This ends one of the most
famous of mining contests, ana within
a few months will add one more com
pany to the gigantic combine started by
the Calumet d Hecla and the Anaconda
Mining companies, particulars of the
practical completeness of which were
published within the past week. Gen.
Warren this evening said:
sour company is incorporated as the
Comanche Mining company. We were
fighting the Boston d Montana COM
pany, which is interested with the An
aconda in the formation of the copper
combine. We are all comparatively
poor men, while those whom we have
fought for twelve years represent from
S300OO,O 900 to S40,000,0O0. They were
headed by G. Ii. Larrabee, of Portland,
Or. Interested with me are George A.
Tong and Lee Mantle. These people
Jumped our claims. When the fight
which resulted commenced, either side
could have been bought out for $1,000.
During the intervening years these
mines in Montana, which now produce
more than two-thlrds of che copper
mined in the United States, have so
enormously increased in value that
have been offered while here at the Lee
land $500, 900 in cash for our mere chance
of winning this suit. ] did not take the
offer. Consequently by today's de
-eision we are given undlsputed
possession of mine the equal in every
way of the Anaconda. am now thank

advantage of copper pine is that
there is no end to it. 1t is just as valu-
able to your heirs as it is to yourself.
There is no end to it till you strike
China or the other place.
II was in Washington one week ago
Tuesday, when the argument was
heard. 1t was magnificent fight. SEN
ator Stewart was retained by the Boston
q Montana company, while on our side
were Congressman w. w. Dixon and
Attorney Burdette. The result means
that the Comanche company will soon
be a part of the copper combine. They
will be only 100 glad to have u.s." Gen.
Warren left tonight for Minneapolis,

ALGER's RECORD.

DETROIT, March IA. Gen. Alger this
morning made public his war record.
1t includes a. great bosfo OF official docu-
ments from army officers, warmly prais-
ing Alger and recommending him for
promotion, and along with them is the
report of Gen. Custer recommending
the dismissal of Alger from the service.
This entire record is full of credit to
Alger. with the exception of the Custer
document and the Endorsements thereon,
In contradiction 10 the statements of
Custer, Ayers record shows that after
the battle of Boonville he laid off Oh ae-
count of illness, as he also did May %,
1864, and Aug. %, 1864. In each case,
however, he had the certificate of his
official surgeon to show that be
was ill. 1t is true that i'll
his last absence on sick leave Gus
ter did not respond to the Doctors
application for sick leave for Alger, but
Alger has hown Clusters motive by res
vealing the latter's Intellectual attempt
to induce Alger to promote CUSTER
brother over the heads of older officers.
That Custer did not always regard
Aiger as funk is shown by various
recommendation in the earlier portions
of the war wherein he praises Alger
highly, -
