SOLDIERS SUFFERING.
Thrilling Story of the War, from the
Pen of a Veteran.

was in the disastrous skirmsh known as
the Town Creek expedition, under General
G. NJ. Dodge. My Company and Co. T of
our regiment were ordered to support two
pieces of flying artillery in advance of the
main column. Only fifteen of our command
reached the points designated; and in our
retreat to the main army were rendered
unfit for duty, and sent to the hospital.
After three months, | returned to duty, and
remained with my regiment until May z,
1864, and on that day, at the battle of Balm
bridge, 1 with thirty three others of our
regiment were taken prisoners of war. We
arrived at AnderSOnville on or about the
fifth day of June, where l remained until
the last of December, during which time L
contracted the scprvy to such an extent that
my left leg was contracted to it's uttermoSt,
being black from'the foot to about halfway
between the knee and hip; and in this
horrible condition / left Andersonville for
Florence, South Carolina, where remained
prisoner until February 26. Our exchange
papers were signed at East Ferry, making
me prisoner Of war nine months and
twenty days. From that day to this l have
suffered from scurvy, causing indigestion
and constipation to such an extent that from
December 26 to March 10 1 had only eight
operations of the bowels. Since I was
mustered out of service, July 9, 1866, have
Ifleu Une very LDeSG physicians, DuG Iney

operation of the bowels that day, and after
the third dayoI had an operation of the
bowels every day. 1 now have no pains.

came here with their remedies. 1 am
totally blind, and have been for five years,
for which the government gives me pen
sion of seventy-two dollars per month, but
am happy and contented, thanks to Sagwa.
In conclusion, dear comrades, l will say
I want you who are suffering as l did so
long with scurvy and the ills that follow it,
to write to me, and I will cheerfully answer

CLOSED UP.
Assignee Cray Pays Each Creditor
of w. T. Mills in Full, HavingS1S
Settled with the Banks.

The creditors of w. T. Mills have
all been paid in full, owing to the
careful management of the assignee
Lorin Cray. We have stated from
time to time the transfers Of the
property. The remaining real estate
was this week turned over, subject
to the diminished mortgages, to the
three banks having claims against
the estate. This property consists OF
the corner occupied by j. G. Roller,
the store occupied by w. r. B. Smythe
and the two lots at the corner OF
Front and Liberty streets, occupied
now by the Hanford Produce Co. Be-
sides this, 81, 800 in money was turned
over, and the banks accepted the pro-
perty as full payment for their claims,
which aggregated $4,000.
No creditor has lost cent, fact
which is highly pleasing to Mr.. Mills.
Mr. Cray first disposed of the unpro-
ductiye property. as the interest on
the claim was more than the income
from all sources. Then he was able
to save 81 800 in money from rents,
from last July until the presentO time.
This made it possible to arrive at the
satisfactory adjustment of the matter
above stated.
Mr. Cray has applied to Judge Sew
erance for an order discharging him
and Mr.. Mills from further duties or
liability in the matter, and it will
soon be closed up.
Mr.. Mills is doing small commits
sion business in buying butter and
eggs for outside houses, and his
friends hope to see him gradually en-
large his operations on a safe and
profitable basis. He possesses the full
confidence of the public.

The suggestion of Aid. Peterson
that the new hose house on North
Front street be made large enough
for use for election purposes is
good suggestion. The amount paid
for rent of buildings in each ward
will pay good rate of interest on
buildings costing no more than the
hose houses.
Judge Torrey heard contested
will case while at St. Peter, and when
the case was not yet completed he got
the parties together and had them
settle it. to avoid further costs.
This is his policy in this county wher-
ever possible. Had the Waite-Frisbie
will case been settled the S3,5OC
paid out in attorneys sfees and costs
would have been saved.
Judge Severance'S decision in re-
gard to the suspension Of sentences
in the municipal court will deprive

He would sentence them to work OF

and suspend sentence if they would
agree to leave the city. AS they wer'
in ignorance of the fact that there i
no city stone pile they never failed t
take advantage Of the suspension 0
the sentence, and would meyer SHOW
up again for fear that it might be i'm
posed. This resulted in saving tn
county the expense of boarding pris
oners at the jail. 1t would be a grea
benefit if a law were to be passed al
lowing municipal judges to suspend
sentence in their discretion.

KEYSTONE Watch Case Co. i,
PHILADELPHIA.
1T IS RIGHT.

st. Paul Meas: The house commit
tee upon appropriations has cOnsid-
cred the bill which passed the State
senate to add $4,000 to the World S
Fair appropriation, and with but one
negative vote agreed to a recommen-
dation that the house also pass the
bill.
1t is perfectly proper that the leg
islature should make this sum availa-
BILE for the Worlds Fair commission.
1t is all needed to do justice to the
State, and without it Minnesota would
appear so poverty stricken in the eyes
of the other States and the cOngrega-
tions that will assemble from all parts
of the world that it would be better
to have no representation at all. The
commission can be depended upon to
make a frugal use of the money and
so apply it that the exhibit will re-
dound to the credit of the people.
The bill should pass at the first op-
pOrtunity.
