The Guthrie daily leader. [volume] (Guthrie, Okla.) 1893-1996, 1894-04-21

WASHINGTON, April 20. Inquiry con
corning the proceedings of the execu-
tive session Of the senate developes
the fact that senators take more
serious view Of the prospective gather
ing of Coxyites and Others here than
the first report would seem to indi-
cate. The opinion is expressed
by senators who participated in
the executive proceedings that
in view of precedents and
the emergency that is likely to arise,
President Cleveland would be justified
in issuing a proclamation warning the
men now ON their way to the city in
connection with Coxeys moveme mt
that the authorities will be prepared
TO require the strictest observance of
order. The opinion is also freely ex-
pressed in the senate and was ad-
vanced in executive session that con-
gress cannot afford and should do
nothing looking to the sustenance of
the CoXey army while here.
1t is expected that, IL large body
of men should assemble, as is now re-
garded as probable, they will soon
find themselves more anxious to Sc
cure food to sustain life than money
to build roads and will be clamorous
for an appropriation to that end.
Senator Cockrell, cha irman of the
committee on appropriations, has
given notice of a speech on the PETER
resolution for to-day.

and his Colorado contingent remained
at Barr, Colo, eighteen miles from
here, all night. Burlington officials
ordered all passenger and freight
trains TO pass Barr at high
rate of speed, which was done.
The men were exposed to the
severe weather and many are
sick. Deserters have reduced the
number to about 100. The men have
written to Governor Waite asking him
to provide three box cars for trans
portation to Omaha.

Disease in Railroad Coaches.

In the laboratory of the Imperial
Board of Health of Germany. expert
ments were made, and the results which
have been published show, says London
Science Siftings, that the seeds of con.
sumption were found in abundance in
the dust collected, not only on the
floors, but on the walls and seats of
the carriages. Samples of dust were
taken from 45 compartments of u diff
ferent passenger cars and III animals
were inoculated with them. Part of
these died very soon thereafter of var
ious contagious diseases before they
had time to- develop consumption; of
the rest, killed four TO six weeks after
incubation, three had tubercles.
These three, however, were inoculat-
ed with sleeping carriage dust, taken
from the floor, but from the walls cush-
ings, and ceilings.

The UPS with the Downs.


Say, pa, will you tell me what makes all this
trouble?"
Said my little son Jimmy 10 me-
81 skinned both my feet as walked o'er the
stubble,
An the thorns are still stickin in me.
There's the long, tiresome hill where We carry
the water
An drive down the cattle TO drink;
Is would save lots O. work, an 1t seems that
you oughter.
Move our house down there, think"
Well, Jimmy, my son, since you profrer the
query,
Philosophy's guidance is none;
Ef your work is so light that you never grew
weary.
'Tis work just as we'll not begun;
To have a high hill we must have a deep
hollow,
An the ups always go with the downs;
From the clouds OF today there is sunshine
TO follow,
An smiles travel tandem with frowns.
Ell you never had pain or nervous depression
You would not know the blessing o. health ;
An its only by hunger an gaunt deprivation
Thet we learn o the value o. wealth
The troubles an trials, my son, you complain
of
Are blessings to you an TO me.
For we must get n prod from the brad o
oppression
In order 10 know that we're free.

The Doctors Sliding Scale Of Fees.

Some time ago certain wealthy

stinginess, drove up hurriedly in his

somewhere in the region of his throat

the dangerous obstacle and the gentle

"Half a guinea" replied DIR. S.
"Half guinea?" exclaimed the gentle

AFTER MANY DAYS.
BY JOSEPH +. HARRIS.

Captain Edward Ford, of the Cal
ifornia Battalion, of the Second Mass
achusetts Cavalry, will be remembered
by every officer in the Army of the
Potomac, and particularly by those
who served with him in the valley of
the Shenandoah, as a scholar, kindly
hearted gentleman, and gallant SOL
dier. At the battle of Charlottesville
the captain was detailed from his regi-
ment for temporary staff duty, SER
vice which he did not at all enjoy, for
he was one of those men who liked to
be with his "boys."
As we have to do with the captain
and not with the battle, ii is unneces-
sary here to attempt any description
of that sanguinary struggle. The cap
tain was sent with au order to General
Howard, but when he reached the
command of that officer, he found the
Eleventh Corps broken, demoralized,
and in full retreat before Stonewall
Jackson's men.
While the captain was trying to find
the officer for whom he had the mes
sage, his horse was shot down, and
before he could untangle himself from
the stirrups, he. saw poised above him
the cleaning blade of a swarthy Con-
federate soldier. The captain had no
time to think, much less to act few
seconds more and all would have been
over with him; but before the blade
could fall upon his head, Union sol
dier leaped from behind tree, and a
well-aimed shot sent the horsemaa
reeling from the saddle.
ga mighty close call that, captain !"
was all the soldier said, as he drew the
young officer away from the dead
horse, and a moment more and both
were rushing after the retreating
corps, with the enemy in hot pursuit.
express thanks or to ask for names,
but in the few minutes, during which
they ran on side by side, the face of
the man who had come to Captain
Fords rescue was indelliblv impressed
on his memory. He felt that the sol
dier had saved his life, and after the
battle was over, he made every effort
to find him, but without success. That
he was an American he knew from his
voice and appearances but his name,
the number of his regiment, or even
the corps to which he was attached,
though he believed it was the Eleventh,
were alike unknown to him.
The captain served with distinction
through the war, coming out with the
full rank of colonel. He settled down
in Boston, where he engaged with
success in manufacturing, and a few
years afterward took to himself wife.
His married life was quite as happy as
his military service was distinguished,
and his business career prosperous.
The colonel was and is a prominent
member of the Loyal Legion, the
Grand Army of the Republic, the So
ciety of the Army of the Potomac and
other veteran organizations, in all of
which he was well known. not only for
his hearty camaraderie, but for his
ability to sing a song or tell a story.
Not once, but a hundred times, and
always with the hope of finding the
man who had so Unexpectedly come to
his aid at Chancellorsville, Ne colonel
told the story of his gallant rescuer.

the men who led the stampede in that
fight.
"No," said the colonel, 81 think /
distinctly remember you near the
rear, and with the enemy all about"
"You remember me?" said the man,
in surprise. II must confess, sir, that
while l have seen you since the war, L
do not remember having met you dur
ing that time"
eyes, l think you did meet me, and
saved my life in that very battle, and
then the colonel related the incident
at Charlottesville, which the man
distinctly remembered, though he
modestly took no credit to himself for
the part he had played in the young
officers rescue.
There is but little more to say. rhe
colonel did not read his visitor n lee
ture on the immortality of his conduct
that night, HIS heart was too full of
the mans gallantry on the former
occasion. The poor fellow came in to
find something that he might sell that
would relieve his family; he went out
with money in his pocket and hope in
his heart.
Ii is pleasant to add, though il is
just what might have been expected
from Colonel Edward Ford, that Tom
Rushmore had no need longer to seek
for employment. He is now n trusted
superintendent of one of the colonels
establishments. His wife is restored
to health, his children are reaching
man and womanhood, a credit to him
self and the State.
The colonel still delights to tell of
how Tom Rushmore saved him at
Charlottesville, and of how he found
him after so many years, but he does
not mention the details of their meet

claims that the gain on one crop pays
the all expenses of the electric lighting
for the season, thus giving him the gain

Dogs Understand Our Language.

The creation of something like Ian
guage among our civilized dogs has
naturally been accompanied by the
development of an understanding Of
human speech. Although we cannot
attach much importance 20 the mass
of anecdotes Oh this point, there is
enough which is we'll attested, sufficient
indeed which has come within the lin.
its of my own observation, 20 make it
clear that dogs, even without deliber-
ate teaching, frequently acquire a tol.
erably clear understanding of a num-
Der of words and even OF short phras-
es. They will catch the's not only
when gwen in distinct command, but
when uttered in an ordinary tone
without any sign that they relate TO
their affairs 1t is true that these un-
derstood words generally relate TO
some action which the dog is accus-
toned TO perform, yet there arc in
stances so we'll attested that they de-
serve credit, which seem TO show that
the creatures can get some sense Of
the drift Of conversation even when it
is carried on by persons with whom
they are not familiar and does not
clearly relate to their own affairs. -
