Up all over the state. The strategic point
OF north Missouri lay In Shelby and Monroe
pass between precfpitous banks Of silurian
fock On the banks OF Middle Fork. in an
almost inpregnable retreat, the confederate
general. Harris, established a recruiting
camp. and thither companies Of MissourFs
home guard were focking when Gen.
Lyon, early in July, ordered Col. Smith to
break up the camp. Smith was a bungler
4t best, and In so treacherous a country,
with a foe who knew every foot Of the
ground. he soon found that the faster he
fetreated from Salt river the better it would
be for him. At Monroe City he intrenched
himself in the seminary building and there
endured two days siege, while the sur
rounding country swarmed with those who
had cast in their lot with the confederate
cause The news of the siege was tele-
Eraphed to Washington and both Grant and
Palmer were ordered to the rescue. At that
time Grant then colonel of the twenty-first
Illinois infantry, was encamped on the Illi-
nois river, waiting for a steamer. that was
aground on a sand bar, to convey his regi-
ment to St. Louis
He proceeded at once to Quincy and thence
over the Hannibal and st. Joseph road to
the scene of battle: but when he arrived
there on the afternoon of July 13, the sport
was all over. Governor Wood and Col.
Palmer had both preceded him and had put
the confederate forces to flight. On this
point Grant in his autobiography makes
the same error that Is made by other histor-
fans who have written of the war in Mis-
souri; but it is not surprising that The more
weighty achievements of his brilliant career
should have effaced the details of his first
expedition from the generals memory.
How Mr.. Owen Lost His Horse.
However, there was work enough to keep
Colonel Grant in the state. While Colonel

fork of Salt river to prevent the transpor-
tation of troops from the west and to this
point Grant, with the twenty-first Illinois
infantry, was ordered. While the colonel
was preparing to move his men to Hunne-
we'll, Captain Catlett, then private in
The sixteenth Illinois regiment, with fifteen
comrades, proceeded, under orders from
Colonel Smith, to the farm of John Owen,
the best-known bushwhacker in that sec
ton of the state. Owen himself was in
hiding and 1t had been reported that all
the water and milk On the place had been
poisoned for the benefit of the federal in
Vaders. The only human being found on
the place was an old negress and the SOL

Gen Grant went to Missouri: after Gov
Jackson had threatened to tear I'D the
Yankee railroad" as the Hannibal and
St Joe" was termed. This was the first
line of rail to connect the east with the
great western plains. Its projectors, find
ing it impossible to raise the money for its
construction otherwise, had appealed to
the government and had received a land
grant of 100000 acres. In return for this
clause had been inserted in it's charter
providing that in time of war the road
should be at the disposal Of the federal
government Gov. Jackson's threat had
caused the railroad company's officers to
appeal in person to President Lincoln for
military protection. In response, Mr.. Lin
coin ordered Col Robert F. Smith with
the sixteenth Illinois volunteers, to Hanni-

srnment property.

q block house was constructed, and under

devoted himself to drilling his men and

he must soon engage. The summons came
soon enough. Tom Harris home guard

too much for Col. Smith, must be broken

the soldiers proceeded to appropriate. Other
federal officers had given their men license

hope, gradually nearing the time when there

I here asked whether he thought that this
universal religion would be the Catholic re-

II hope so," and in response to my ques-

"Of course, believe the Catholic religion to

The DRINKING Fountain shut on.

The Epworth League is indignant be-
cause the city authorities have shut off
the water that supplies the public foun-
tain on Washington street, next to h.
G. Nieisen's store. They were widely
praised when they established this foun-
tain three years ago and since then it
has furnished thousands of drinks to
thirsty individuals, horses and dogs.
The CHRONICLE believes that the water
is shut off only temporarily, until it can
be fixed, for the city council would not
break its faith, as expressed Nov. Sd,
1898, when the following appeared on
the recorders minutes: "The petition
of the Epworth League for the city to
keep the fountain on corner OF Washing
ton and Second IN order, and in case
this was done the League would donate
it to the municipality, was accepted,
and the fountain was placed under con-
troll of committees on streets and public
property

KInley crowd could not be found than
than were in attendance upon this con-
yention, and while journeylng towards

merry Endeavorers were wont to hail all
whom they met with hearty yell for
Mckinley which was responded to in
nearly every inetance with another Nc

urers, of other sarsaparillas sought by
every means to obtain showing of their
goods, but they were all turned away
under the application of the rule for

Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows
"Ayer's Sareaparilla is not patent
