Joplin Herald.

Carthage is talking about the Rog-
ers road. The following is from the
Press report of late meeting OF the
business mems club:
"Major Moore said that there was a
matter demanding immediate atten.
tion-thc Rogers road-and he moved
that u committee be appointed to inter-
view the projectors. The motion car
ried and Major Moore, A. w. st. John
and DIR. Caflee were appointed.
"Mr. Jonathan Ames being present
was invited TO speak. He esid that he
had been intimately associated with
Mr.. Rogers recently in his work; that
as an inducement to the company to
build the road he and some OF his
former neighbors had guaranteed the
company the right of way between
Carthage and Webb City. He had
now nearly completed the work and
the contribution was practically worth
$4,000, though they had 30 far had
to pay nothing outright. lie said that
Mr.. Rogers intended to build his rapid
transit line into Carthage, but when
was not settled. Galena and Baxter
Springs, Kansas, had made valuable
offers if the company would build to
those towns first. This was all that
might delay the read coming to Car
thage. Mr.. Ames said that Mr.. Rogers
would not say what he wanted of Car
thage. but he said il Carthage showed
the same interest in the line as other
towns we would get the road. When
Mr.. Ames asked Mr.. Rogers to come
and talk TO the Carthage people and
lay his plans before them, he refused,
and said the Carthage people should
come 10 him, as he felt that he had
been in manner given the cold
shoulder by Carthage"
1t will be seen from the above that
Baxter can get the road before Car
thage If our people win do some nus
sling. We must do IL; we must get
the road as,soon as possible.

AN ANSWER TO "wHY WE DID
NOT GET IT."

NOT GET IT."
Tho article IN last weeks NEWS en-
titled "Why We Did Not Get II" is,
every line of II, so untrue that i feel II
due both 10 the public and to me TO
answer II. l say to me, because 1t IL
well known at whom that article was
aimed. Ii was not intended as n la
ment in behalf Of tho city for rail-
road lost, bnt was designed solely as Il
covert attack upon me.
Now, IN reply to The statements con-
tanned in that article, desire to say
that ii the Kansus City, Pittsburg and
Gull Railroad company ever had any
intention Of building lis railway via
Baxter Springs l am as profoundly ig-
n0rant of il as the News is certain
Of il. | also state, and most positively,
that there never was L moment during
NV connection with the Pittsburg,
Columbus and Fort Smith Railway
company that l was offered and had
the opportunity OF accepting or OF re-
fusing u much as II dollar for my in
iercs,s IN that railway company. L
further assert thai il there ever was u
time that any member of That COM
pauy offered IT, sell his 'intcrests at
actual cost" have no knowledge OF H..
And also state thai there never was
Il cUlnlnii,cc HAT waited upon Us, or
conferred with u, or wrote 10 us 10
buy our interests in that railway com.
pany, a. tar us my knowledge goes
hence no committee "retircd IN dis
gust" aa the News asserts. So when
the News learned upon "vcry good
authority that this was the principal
reason Tor the company deciding TO
not build It's line through this city," IL
simply learned what was not and is
not So, and then published it.
In conclusion l wish to ask the
News why ii so frequently and with
so much apparent relish attacks me
through its columns! Is it of its own
free will aud choice, or is it because it
is not free agent and must do just
what others dictate!
Respectfully,
SAMUEL III. SMITH.
With regard 10 the above we VIII
say that our authority for the article
referred to by Mr.. Smith was fur
nished by prominent business man
of this city. The aforesaid prominent
business man told US he was informed
by a member of the Kansas City,
Pittsburg and Gulf Railroad company
that $1,000 WAS demanded by a local
member OF the Pil,sburg, Columbus
and Fort Smith Hallway company.
Samuel II. Smith dcmurs, hut our au-
thority for the article referred 10 by
him is good.
For the benefit of Mr.. Smith we
will say that the News is not under
the control of any man or men except
the parties whose names appear at the
head of its columns; il says what it
does of its own "frcc will and choice"
and will always be found on the side
of right ana justice. The devil will
always get his dues, be they good or
bad. Ali matters or schemes that will
in any way be detrimental TO the best
interests OF society or the city will be
EXPOSED, but the News will always be
found ready to make all its assertions
good. The News is free agent and
does not have to do what others die
tate. Paste this in your hat.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.

AFTER harvest comes time of COM
parative leisure. This is good oppoi-
tunity for cleaning up the farm. Some
brush and dirt and debris isalmost sure
to collect, through the busy season, and
it is much better to get it out of the
way now than to let it lie until spring.
If you should spend money for fertil
izers, and then leave them out in the
rain until they We're pretty thoroughly
washed out.you would do a pretty fool
ish thing. But no more foolish than to
let the manure remain piled beneath
the caves of the barn, where it gets
washed by every rain. 1t would be a
good plan to remedy this.
IT is an old and true axiom that a
crop we'll put in is half made. Keep
this in mind when seeding wheat this
fall, for if there ever was time and
crop regarding which the farmer
needed all possible assurances of sue
cess, that time is now-and the crop is
wheat. The only way that it will pay
to grow wheat now is to grow it eX-
ceedingly we'll.
LAND hunger, and the itch to have
every new implement invented, keeps
many n farmer poor. With less land
expenses may be reduced when times
are hard, and fewer implements will be
needed in order to cultivate it per.
fectly. A smaller range of crops, each
one grown as speciality, will give bet.
ter returns than wider range and less
careful methods.
IT is good plan to look about in the
fall and see what can be done that will
lessen the work next spring. You car
trim out the dead brush from the small
fruits, for one thing; and set out more
of them if you have not enough already
You can haul out every bit of the manure
and put it on the field where it j:
| wanted. Prairie Farmer.

A MEMORABLE WAR EVENT..
Scenes Mt the Evacuation of Petersburg,
Va, by the Confederates.

Va, by the Confederates.
Petersburg, Va, was evacuated by
the confederates on Sunday, April Q,
1865 and Immediately afterward occu.
pied by the union troops who had spent
so many weary months in trying to
take it. A correspondent who wit
messed the entry of the federals de-
scribes the scenes Of the day thus:
1.-THE citizens didcnot show themselves
during the fore part of the day, but
after discovering that our soldiers were
orderly and well behaved, with no dis
position to disturb anyone, they began
to make their appearance at the doors
and windows of their residences, and
later in the day even entering familiar
ly into conversation, many of them eX-
pressing their joy quietly that the con-
federates had gone and hoping that the
war would soon be over. For more
than month past southern troops have
been receiving less rations than ever
before, only just enough being brought
in to last from day to day. The citizens
say they have suffered much. The con-
federates managed to get away all their
artillery excepting one or two old
columbiads and a few heavy mortars
which they could not transport readily.
The city presents very cleanly and re-
spectacle appearance, and there are
many residences here that would do nc
discredit to Fifth avenue, New York.
Many of the houses in the lower part OF
the city have been badly injured by the
shot and shell thrown from our batter
les last summer, and since that time
most of the houses located there have
been vacant" Richmond was evacuated
on the same day.-Chicago News.

BADLY WOUNDED.
A Soldier Outlives the Army Surgeon
Who Gave Him Up.

Soldier Outlives the Army Surgeon
Who Gave Him Up.
During the latter part of the struggle
at Gettysburg l was hors de combat
and lying on the high ground.
When Lees batteries reopened fire
to cover the retreat of pickett's broken
columns, the shells coming from the
right rear and front enfladed the po-
sition and appeared to cover every foot
of ground
Men lying near me were cut in two,
and Others torn in pieces by the jagged
missiles.
thought change of location, no
matter how slight, might take me out
of their immediate range Certainly it
could not be worse, so dragged myself
a short distance, only to find that
was in worse place, if possible, than
where l had been.
Then, by supreme effort, for 1 had
been shot through one arm and through
the lungs, / struggled to my feet and
started to run. l had taken but few
steps when the blood gushed from my
throat in torrent, and l tainted and
fell.
When consciousness returned an
| ambulance attendant was bathing my
face, and as soon as opened my eyes
he, with the aid of the driver, placed
me in his ambulance.
Even while they were doing this a
conical shell went crashing through
one of the wheels of the vehicle. The
driver very properly did not wait to
see whether his wheel could hold to-
gether, or if the shell exploded, but
went tearing over the fields at full
speed.
The ground was awfully rough and
covered with debris, but he turned out
for nothing.
There were two of us in the aumbu
lance, but how we remained there is, tc
this day, mystery to me.
In the mad fury of that drive we were
dashed against each other until the aw
full torture made us both unconscious.
In this comparatively happy state W.
remained until the nurses, az the barr
where we next found ourselves, revived
us with brandy.
Here l found that the attending sur
geon was an old friend from my nativ,
state, and felt that he would not hid
the truth of my condition from me
. When he came to examine me, re
