Jacobs has always been regarded as
a most exemplary young man. He
conducted a clothing establishment on
the corner of Main and Park streets
and did a good business. He had serv-
ed three years as city treasurer, always
being elected by large %majorities. This
spring he was not a candidate however,
and his shortage was not discovered
until he turned over his books to the
incoming administration. What he
did with so large an amount is a mys-
terry as he had no bad habits.
His body was found in an abandoned
shaft house a few hours after the &C.
In his right hand was the
pistol with which he killed himself. A
bullet hole in his right temple told the
rest of the sad story.

BALTIMORE, May 6.-According to

there would be a reduction of 20 per
cent Oh all coal mined. The miners re.

trolled by 80 mining concerns. OF this
number 80 entered the combination and

Hershfeld are about ended. At any
rate the big damage suit instituted by
her against l.. H. Hershfield and Mrs.

It will be remembered that Aaron
H~ershield married Miss Hogan at Chi

Der, after a few days of apparently
happy welded life, and after the coup
lie had returned to Helena, Aaron
Hershfeld suddenly left town, and has
been away ever since. He was induced
to go largely, OF altogether, because OF
the objections Of his relatives to his
wife. Last year Mrs. Dell Hershtield
began suit against Mr.. and Mrs. IL. l..
Hershfield on the ground that they had
~alienated from her the conjugal alice

him to deny his society from her: and

CHORUS.
MARCHING THROUGH GEORGIA"

Although written late in the war prob
ably no song concentrating the struggle
or intended to inspire the troops has
stronger foothold in tho hearts Of the peo-
pie than Marching Through Georgia"
In tho very melody is an expression of en-.
thusiasm that even after 80 years makes
the song dear to the hearts of the old SOL
diers and sets their feet to keeping time
with the music. That the sentiment of
the Grand Army of the Republic is in its
favor was we'll illustrated by an old back
woodsman in an Ohio post. He was dress
ed, so the story goes, in faded suit Of
homespun, and his shaggy head was sur
mounted by greasy, broad brimmed hat.
In his right hand he was carrying a small
sized cord wood stick as a cane. But after
he had travelled a couple Of miles it was
plain that the strain was beginning to tell
ON tho old fellow
He was travelling at go-as- you .please
rate when his commander, anxious to
make a good appearance with his post on
dress parade, stepped up to him and said,

John BROWNS BODY"

After the execution of John Brown at

was adopted that speedily became q part
Of the marching music Of the armies of the
north. It's catchy phrases were not only
familiar around the firesidcs of the coun-
try, but in all public gatherings where
music was won't to inspire the multitude.
1t relieved the tedium of camp life, and as
1t resounded through columns OF men
tramping patiently along the dusty high
ways it lightened the WEAKNESS of their
footsteps.
1t Is said that the words, with the ex-
ception of the first stanza. were written
by Mr.. Charles S. Hall of Massachusetts,
but long before tho war the air, wooded
to other words, was familiar on every plan.

Georgia.
The captain laughed and turned away,
hold moments conversation with the
leader of the band, and the Introductory
notes of the next pieco caused the old fell
low to straighten up His cudgel waved
about like tho baton of a drum major,
and little later thousand feet were COM
ing down rs one, the fatigue of the march
was forgotten and thousand voices wero
joined in the rousing chorus. The words
of the famous song were written by Henry
G. Work He was born in Middletown,
Conn, in 1882 and died in Hartford June
s, 1854:
Bring the good old bugle, boys,
Well sing another song
Sing it with a spirit
That will start the world along
Sing it as we used to sing it,
Fifty thousand strong
While we're marching through Georgia.
CHORUS.
Hurrah! Hurrahl we sing the jubilee!
Hurrah! Hurrah the flag that makes us free!
So we sang the chorus, from Atlanta to the sea,
While we were marching through Georgia.
How the darkies shouted
When they heard the joyful soundi
How the turkeys gobbled
Which our commissary foundl
How the sweet potatoes even
Started from the ground
While we We're marching through Georgia.
''Sherman's dashing Yankee boys
Will never reach the coastl"
So the saucy rebels said,
And twas q handsome boast,
Had they not forgot, alas
To reckon with the host,
While we were marching through Georgia.
So we made thoroughfare
For freedom and her train,
Sixty miles III latitude
Three hundred to the main,
Treason fled before u.s.
For resistance was in vain,
While we were marching through Georgia.

"WAEN JOHNNY COMES MARCHING
HOME"


HOME"
A favorite among the boys In the army
as we'll as in the social circles at home Is
known far and near by the above title.
The song was written by the late Patrick
Sarsfield Gilmore famous as the leader
Of the band which bears his name. 1t has
also been ascribed to Mr.. Louis Lambert.
Whatever may be the merit Of the words,
however, the song owes its popularity to
the rollicking tune which has long been
known as Johnny, Fill Up the Bowl"
When Johnnie comes marching home again.
Hurrah! Hurrah!
Well give him hearty welcome then,
Hurrah! Hurrah
The men will cheer, the boys will shout,
The ladies they will all turn out,
And we'll all feel gay
When Johnnie comes marching home,
The old church bell will peal with Joy.
Hurrahl Hurrahl
To welcome home our darling boy,
Hurrah! Hurrah
The village lads and lassies gay,
With roses they will strew the way.
And We'll all feel gay
When Johnnie comes marching home.

SONGS OF AFFECTION.

Brief reference has been made to An
ME Laurie as a sentimental song that
became popular in the English army dur

struggle, pathetic words were allied to
touching music and sung around the

those, "Tenting on the Old Camp
Ground" Is still remembered by the old
soldiers both OF the north and south, and
