when Banks made his campaign and l
was trying to buy lumber and get 1t
out. They had a little bit OF tin
clad gunboat that was on, and as we
passed up the river, whenever one OF
the people wanted any exercise they
would crouch behind a cotton wood
and take pot shot at lis. Uusually
they didn't even hit the boat, but 1t
was exciting and used to keep MS in
good appetitcs. l stopped off at a
landing called Poke Root, which was
strong Union settlement, and the
tin-clad went on. That night we
were raidcd by Cabcll and everybody
in the village made a prisoner. Cabell
used to be called old Tige' by the
Arkansas folks, and we had heard
stories enough about him to make us
wish we had fallen into any other
hands. Next morning we were pa
raded and questioned, and then turn
ed into an old tobacco warehouse,
where sergeant and three men went
through us. ! had about $4,000 and a
man named Bailey had about $1,000,
and they took the whole of it. 1t was
next day before we could get to Cahcll,
and We then sent him word, telling
him Of the robbery and suggesting
that the plunder ought to be turned
into the treasury of the Confederate
States If it was proper siezure. He
sent for us and was in horrible
rage. First he said we were not tell
ing the truth, and that there was not
a man in his force who would do such
a thing. Then he sent for the SER
geant and him searched, and the men,
and cleaned them out, but not dol.
lar of our money appeared. 1t looked
pretty black for us until suddenly a
negro woman was produced, who ad-
mitted having stolen a pair of pants
from the scrgeants abode, in which
were several Thousand dollars, which
so ratified her that she had told the
story. She was prepared for petit
larceny, but not for grand.
"Old Tigc' Cabell looked her up
and down, and then surveyed the SER
geant, who was turning all kinds of
c0lors, and next examined Bailey and
me, not saying anything. lie gathered
the money into wad, which he
handed to an aid-de-camp, and then
as quietly as though it were mere
question of everyday work, he told
the men to turn up the rest of the
money. They turned 1t up. 1t was
all given to us with passes back
through the lines, and our last vision
of Poke Root was the sight Of man
hanging to tree with the sleeves of
his coat where his cheyrOns had been
torn away"

As illustrating the kreat value placed
on a little whisky by some folks in rural
Maine, where prohibition prohibits, "
this story is told: "A big red faced fell
low, who was suffering from a long spell
of enforced abstinence as we'll us from
an injured toe, was brought into the of,
fee of a we'll known physician of cen
trail Maine to have the toe amputated.
The sufferer objected to the use Of ether
Or chloroform, bat when the doctor turn
ed out n tumbler Of whisky for him to
drink he no longer opposed the proceed

trouble. Reviving after the operation.
he looked at the foot meditatively for a

marked, 'gi' me another tumberful of

MEAT IS A LUXURY
Scarcity of Choice Beef Cat
tie Causing Prices to
Go SkyWard.
NO RELIEF BEFORE NEXT FALL.
Meats the Coming Summer to
Be Higher Than for
Many Years.

CHICAGO, March 20. The Post says:
Prices Of all kinds of Keats will be
higher this summer than they have
been for 10 years past. Even the high
pric = which We're made by some deal
ers during the worlds lair period will
be exceeded by the figures asked for
roasts, steaks and chops from now OH.
1t is not probable that much relief will
come before next fall. Prices have al
ready advanced about % per cent, and
an additional advance Of about the
same proportion is almost certain. The
cause of this is the short supply OF cat
tie, followed by the necessary increase
in value which forced dealers to raise
prices to consumers. While the prime
cause of the advant e il the
Scarcity of Choice Beef Cattle
all kinds of meats have gone up, partly
through the sentiments of the increased
demand. All kinds of beef. from por-
terhouse to hash meat, are being sold
now for from 2 to 5 cents a pound
higher than a month ago, and pork
products of all qualities, from pigs feet
to headcheese, are worth considerable
more than they could be bought for the
first of the month. There is little ikeh-
hood hat q reaction will come. because
the conditions which produce enhanced
values will not change for several

OMAHA, Neb., March 29.-An order
has been received from Judge Sanborn,
authorizing United States Marshal
White to go to the Winnebago reserva-
ton and serve notices Of eviction on 275
settlers. who occupy leased lands ON
the reservation. The leases have been
made by the land company ut various
times aud it is claimed the leases were
never approved by the secretary of the
interior, and as a consequence, the gov
eminent refuses to recognize tn" right
OF the settlers to be on the reservation.
Around this fabric IA bewildering
mass of litigation has accumulated, and
the decision of Judge Sanborn is one of
considerable importance. involving all
the improvements which the settlers
have made on the lands which they
have leased i'll good faith.
Many of the settlers are said to be
determined to fight, and it may be nec-
essary to have "a detachment of troops
sent to the reservation to enforce the
order. A train load of deputies will &c
there, and if trouble results, troops will
follow.
