He endured the horrors OF LlUuy PRISON,
being confined there and in other prison
pens for five months, when he was
finally exchanged and returned to his
regiment in time to be present at the
surrender of Vicksburg in July, 1863
From there he marched with Sherman's
army To Jackson, Miss. and helped
drive back Joe Johnson's army, going
thence by transport To New Orleans
and accompanying an expedition into
the Teche country where Gen. Dick
Taylor's forces were encountered and
driven back 1t was during this cam
paign that the hero of our sketch
received his third promotion, being
made lst Lieut.
Late that fall his regiment was
transported to Texas and went into
winter quarters at Fl. Esperanza, max
ing excursions into the interior, in the
spring being ordered up Red River to
eXtricate Gen Banks from his disastrous
expedition and, after helping to dam
the river so as to let the gun-bOats float
down, returning To Moganza Bend and
operating againsU Mobile.
About this time the three years OF
enlistment having expired, his regi-
ment was ordered to Columbus TO mus.
ter out, but Mr.. Heckert at once re-en-
listed his company, of which he was
made Captain, with the intention OF
joining contemplated veteran corps.
However, not enough men being
secured To form regiment, this plan
was abandoned, which fact shows that
not every war-scarred veteran was will
ing to add second long term of service
to one just expired.
This brief resume of Judge Heckert's
war record serves to show how steadily
he advanced throughout his period OF
service, and hints of many deeds OF
valor and many hardships endured. 1t
shows, too, how he became possessed
of the fund of stories and "reminiscences
that make Ben i'm such demand at all
reunions and camp-fires of the "bOys in
blue" and accounts for his never wan
ing interest in Grand Army affairs.
After doffing his Uniform, he entered
the law department of our state Uni
versity and, graduating therefrom,
opened law office at South Haven in
May 1869. While here he served as
circuit court commissioner and was
chosen to fill the un-eXpired term OF
Judge Comstock, the prosecuting
attorney.
In the fall of 1875 he moved to the
county seat and was elected prosecutor
displaying such energy and ability in
the discharge of his duties that he was
twice reelected.
At the close of his third term he
engaged in the practice of law unit
four years ago, when he assumed his
present responsible position; and, if a
conscientious discharge of duty, a repu
tation as clean, able lawyer, and grea,
personal popularity count for anything

whether this increase over the usual
number was caused by the hard luck of
our ball team. the overwhelming defeat
AZ SacO. or the existence in the air of
something of an Intoxicating nature, il
is hard To tell, but the DRINKS were out
in their glory and they made the night
ring with their revelry."
We have the same indisputable proof
that the liquor traffic is i'm full swing in
Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
One little incident whose truth we can
vouch for regarding the latter place,
will show how our boys are debauched
by these masked rum shops: A gentle
man on a shooting tour in New Hamp-
shire entered a quiet little town among
the hills whose pure air apparently no
liquor-tainted breath had ever polluted;
but, having occasion to procure driver
for u somewhat venturesome ride, and
finding it difficult matter, he was at
last directed by the l5-year-old son of
a minister to "a certain liveryman, with
the strict injunction that the boys ia
Their should not know where he received
his information, as he did not wish his
father to learn that he knew said livery
man. When the gentleman repaired to
the place and announced himself as a
stranger sportsman, the liquor "signs'
that Immediately appeared showed him
plainly the reason for the boys strange
request, as also how impossible it is for
a parent to guard his child against an
evil whose existence he does not even
suspect, though it is often possible to
teach him to avoid the open saloon as
he would "a pest-heuse. 1t is just this
belief, growing upon ms day by day
which makes The NoRTHERNER feel
that to license the sale of liquor is not
in any sense what many are pleased to
call 'legalizing acrime," but only throw.
ing such restrictions as may be possible
about terrible evil that can never be
fully annihilated

Last Friday night was the occasion
of ii Republican pole raising at Mrs. p.

what they call ''sky scraper." The
captain was H. X Wells, and the pro.
cession was headed by lawyer Titus,
while it was brought up in the rear by
G. w. Youngs. IT'S reported that Aaron
Hathaway and Hugh Harrison were
commanding generals be that as it may,
we can not account for their waiting un.
til after dark for the pole raising unless
they were ashamed of their politics, as
there was not sound to break the
stiffness of the night. Not "hurrah'

be the order from one of the fail

At Rest.

Mrs. John s. Buck, the aged mother
Of Il. M. Buck and and an inmate OF
his home for the past three years, died
Oct. 1, 1892, having attained the adj.
vanced age of 96 years and months.
She was born in Windham, Connecti-
cut, and married at Auburn, n. Y. in
1919, coming with her husband TO Mich.
igan in 1913 to build up home amid
the western wilds. Having located at
Keller, she resided there until the death
of her husband in 1866, since which
time she has lived with her children
and been most tenderly cared for.
AT the age of II she joined the Baptist
church and remained faithful member
and believer throughout her long life.
Out of family of eight, four sons
survive her, who can but feel that death
was for her a happy release, since her
failing mind has long precluded all
earthly happiness.
A simple service of prayer was held at
the house on Monday morning, after
which the remains were taken to
Keller for public servicesl i'm the church
and were then laid to rest by the side OF
the companion who so long ago preceded
her.
