Some of the earlier titles in the list are
rather childish, but it is grand thing TO
see a couple reach the golden wedding in
JOY and prosperity. The only chance of
doing so is by healthy life, and the secret
of that blessing lies in pure and vigorous
blood.

A MARCHING REGIMENT.
The 12th wis. Covered $3.50 Miles in Twelve
States During the War.

The 1Sth wis. covered $3.50 Miles IN Il Twelve
States During the War.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In modest
little book of 800 .pages, written by II. w.
Rood, Superintendent of Schools in Wiscon-
sin, find the history of The marches and
campaigns OF the 18th Wis, which contains
detailed account of their marches through
the States of Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Ken
lucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana,
Alabama, Georgia. South Carolina, North
Carolina, and Virginia. covering the unpre-
cedented distance OF $3.50 miles on foot dur
ing three years of the civil war.
Having access TO nearly all Of the great
Libraries of New York City and Brooklyn,
and TO the mex haustible official records of
that war now on file at Cooper Union Library,
can find no parallel of this remarkable feat
by any foot regiment in the United States
army.
/ then wrote to the Commanding Generals
of the English, French and German armies,
all of whom furnished me, through their
Adjutant- GENERALS department, with polite
replies, but failed 10 find the record of any
of their foot regiments who, in the short
space of three years, had covert such great
number OF miles ON foot, even in times of
peace.
The records also show that the regiment
took part in the campaign ut the extreme
right flank of the entire grand army of the
North in the early part of the war, and after
participating in many Of the principal cam
paigns of the central part of that army found
themselves at the extreme left flank when
the war was declared ended.
So, that after nearly one year of studious
research and letter-writing, have no hesita-
ton in placing the 18th Wis. rs the cham
pion marching regiment OF the world.
The records also show that the 10Th Wis,
together with the 10th Wis, formed the first
line of the brigade, of which the Goth, Both
and 31st Ill. formed the second line of
the assaulting column of Gen. Sherman's
army that charged and captured Leegetfs

dlately sent detachment, with instructions
TO bring Lee along if he was able TO ride.
TIE order was promptly executed. Lee
was brought TO where Col: Spear was in
Gen. Wick hams family carriage, drawn by
two of our cavalry horses. Wickham's
horses had been run off to save them from
capture. Lee asked Col. Spear 10 parole
him, saying that he had captured thousands
of Union soldiers, and would probably cap
ture thousands more, and that he had al
ways paroled his wounded prisoners where
captured.
Col Spear told him that he would have to
go TO Fortress Monroe. That ended the in
teryiew, and they did not speak TO each
other afterward. Gen. Lee was very reti-
cent. A Sergeant OF the California Hundred
who had served under him in the old army
tried TO renew their acquaintance, but Lee
refused to converse.

Maj. Mckinley felt that he was at length
in position to realize delightful dream
of years, and marry the woman he loved.
One of the most notable of men who
laid the foundations deep and strong of
the great State of Ohio was Hon. j. A.
Saxton, who migrated to Ohio about the
time of the close of the War of 1912,
and in 1915 established at Canton the
Ohio Repository, Wing organ, and a
literary journal, which he continued to
publish for 60 years, during which it was
one of the most forceful and influential
papers in the State. He was man of
scholarly tastes, and the Repository was
far above the average paper in literary
excellence. He resisted all temptations
to transfer his work to one of the larger
cities of the State-Cincinnati, Cleve-

He Ate Cabbage and Lived.

Youths Companion: Wonderful are the
whims of the human stomach. What kills
one man gives another life One of the
strangest cases of craving for food on
the part of a sick man is narrated by Mrs.
Hazen in Our Army Nurses" She was at
the time QS6D nurse in the Columbian hos
pital at Washington. Among her patients
was a "boy''-though he was a veteran of
four years standing-who had come to the
hospital several months before with a
wounded knee. This is her strange story:
The surgeons had held many examina-
tons; he was failing rapidly; could not
retain anything. even cold water causing
hemorrhaSe of the stomach
What is the verdict, doctor?" 1 asked
one morning.
He can live but few days at the long
est" was the answer, land may die in a
few hours.'
Then, doctor, please let him have what
he wants while he does live
II give him into your hands, Miss Titus;
do what you please with him.
The bandages were at once removed, as
he had complained that they were I'M
comfortable. Then, as soon as the other
patients were cared for l went to a market
garden and bought a head of cabbage. He
had often wanted something green. if only
boiled grass When the cabbage was
cooked 1 carried him some, with cider vine
gar and fed him.
He ate all there was on the plate. asked
for more, which was brought. and still a
third and fou tn plate, till he had eaten
the whole cabbage.
From that dinner. in May. he began to
improve and on June IA / started with him
on a stretcher for his home in Pennsyl-
vania. as his life even then depended upon
his diet and such meals as he ate would
have made a well man sick.
He recovered, but had a stiff knee.

WATSON CASE DECISION.
Chief Justice Martin Gives His Ren-
sons for Granting Breidenthnl
nm IuiuuctiOu

Topeka, kas, Oct. 27.-(Speclal0 The
supreme court to-day handed down the
written opinion in the filed by Chair
man Breidenthal, of the Popocratic state
committee, to compel the insertion Of
Thomas Watson's name at the head of the
sell-out ticket. The openion was written
by Chief Justice Martin, Justice Allen con-
curing and Justice Johnston dissenting.
In the opinion of the chief justice, the sec
rstary of state has no right to omit the ap
pellation or the name of the vice presi-
Dental nominee. The only way the name
of Watson could be omitted according to
the decision would be by his withdrawal
from the national ticket. The court held
that the allegation in the answer of the
secretary of state that the Abilene elect
ors will not vote for Watson is not one of
fact and the court should not be guided by
the pretense of any one to the powers of
divination. In such cases courts must deal
with facts, not prophecies.
In his dissenting opinion Justice Johnston
says: 1T is strange, indeed, if there is no
way for a national candidate to retire from
a ticket If his name is merely placed there
with a sinister purpose, and that he should
be denied the right of withdrawal when his
name is merely used to cast a stigma upon
him or 20 defeat the principles for which
he stands. Apart from the question of
formality, however. and granting that
there is a chance for difference of opin-
ion as to whether national nominees are
candidates within the meaning of the stat
ute, am still fully of the opinion that the
peremptory writ should be denied.
ut is admitted the purpose of using
Watson's name is to mislead the voters
of Kansas and induce them to vote for
the electors on that ticket under the belief
that they are voting for Watson for vice
president. 1t is admitted that the electors
in question are the electors of the Demo-
cratic party and are not members of the
Peoples party, and if chosen will not vote
for Thomas E. Watson for vice president"

LYNcHERs ON TRIAL.
Six White Men Who Beat Two Ne
ErOez to Death Must Answer
for Murder.

Aiken, S. c., Oct N.-On December 9,
1895, party of six white men. Messrs.
Ackerman. Kearse, Jenney. Brant, Stanley
and Hierse, took Isom Kearse, hs wife,
Rosa Kearse, and his another Hannah
Walker, three negroes from their home in
Colleton county, at night, and dragged
them several miles behind a buggy TO
Broxton bridge, in a lonely swamp. 1t
was bitterly cold night, but the negroes
were made to strip, and were then severely
beaten with buggy traces for the alleged
crime of stealing a Bible from a church.
Kearse and his mother were killed by the
nogging and the exposure. while his wife
managed 10 drag herself home, more dead
than alive. The ''lynchers were tried in
Walterboro, the county seat of Colleton
county. last February, for the murder of
Hannah Walker, and, TO the surprise of
the entire state, were acquitted.
Solicitor Bellinger had cone his best TO
secure a conviction and mortally offended
the numerous influential friends of the de-
PENDANTS, who tried hard and unsuccessfully
to prevent his reelection this summer.
Solicitor Bellinger was shrewd enough 10
try the defendants on only one indictment
at Waterford After the miscarriage of
justice there. he secured a change of venue
to Akin for the trial on the charge of muir
