''BOOTS

December, 1854, General Hood
with 'his mtn7was making the
mournful retreat from Nashville.
General Forrest was ordered to
protect this retreat if possible, to
hold the Federals in check while
the Confederate forces escaped.
This was Immediately after the
terrible defeat Of the Confeder-
ates by General Thomas, which
occurred on December 10th, and
it was the utter desperation of
the situation that had suggested
a rear guard which should play
the part of Marshall Ney's men
in Napoleon's famous flight from
Moscow.
e During the bitter night of the
twenty!frst General Forrest with
this small rear guard, partly in
fantry, part cavalry, had crossed
a little stream, Duck River, and
camped On the Warfield place
about four miles distant from
columbia. Every movement of
the Federal force was closely
watched, still in the morning it
was discovered that by some
Vancouver, a portion Of the Fed
eral command were across the
river, also. u" "'H
J A scout at once dashed up to
General Forrest with this in
formation. 81 ~
"What!" cried the General
angrily; "you have allowed the
enemy to pass great gods! then
we'are in for it! quick, call a
courier!" Turning, he himself
saw and hailed a young soldier,
a lad Of seventeen.
"Here, boy! quick! where's
your horse? Ride at once, and
tell Armstrong to bring his brig
\ade in a gallop.
The boys face flushed with
his eagerness, his eyes flashed
with prompt full intelligence-he
knew we'll what danger the order
meant-a possible encounter be-
tween the brave rear guard, only
a handful Of men, half frozen and
half starved, and the Federal
force of full sixty thousand men! !
He sprang to his horse picketed
near by, mounted and turned to-
wards the tents. = '"
"Here! where are you going?"
holtly shouted General Forrest.
"F'or my blanket, General"
answered the bow. '''.
"No time for blankets! to
Armstrong at once and don't
spare the horse!"
5 A bend Of THE head and the
young soldier was off like a flash,
The day was bitterly cold, the
turnpike was covered with sleet
and ice, snow lay in deep drifts
on every side, and the wind
whistled and howled and cut like
q knife as he rode in its face,
never psusihg or drawing rein.
1T grew colder and tho suffer-
ing Of the poor young fellow be!

were passed here and there and
the smoke chrling from their
chimneys spoke Of warmth, a hot
blaze, d hot meal, and kindly

until this torriblo war, had been

ATKINS BOND BILL.
1t Passes the Senate After a Mild
Sensation.

The Head house bill TO validate GER
tain bonds issued by Aitkin county for
reads and bridges stirred up a lively
tilt between Senators Whitney and
Morgan in the senate yesterday morn
irg. The former said it had been hang
ing somewhere between heaven and
earth, he did not know just where, for
ten days or so. He wanted it placed
on its final passage. Senator Morgan
resented the imputation that the bill
had been delayed unduly. He had had
1t referred to the judiciary committee,
he said, at the request of some of his
constituents who were interested in it.
Senator Whitney disclaimed IN allu-
sion to Senator Morgan, but explained
tina he had received a telegram stating
that If a certain important contract
was not signed, the bill would not pass
the senate. He thought such a seeming
coercion would warrant summoning its
sender to the bar of the senate. The
bill was then taken up and passed.
The teachers examination bill at
the head Of general orders precipitated
a renewal of debate in committee of the
whole.
Senator Stebbins moved to amend it
by striking out the provision for APP
p%licants being graduates of state high
schools "of the first class These four
words We're stricken out. The amend
ment was adopted.
Senator McF1ale opposed the pro-
visions requiring graduation. 1t would
affect, he thought, half the teachers
now at work in the state. The bill
seemed to him to be q device to stiffen
the backbone Of the county superin-
tendents. The theory that the senator
held to was that the teacher, to a
great extent, is born, no made. Some
people who were not graduates were
better teachers than w~ell-learned
alumni. who were deficient in the gen.
JUS to impart their knowledge.
Senator Greer moved to add a pro-
vision that all county superintendent
u have the qualifications demanded

HAVE TO RAISE THE FEE.
Cost OF Official Ballots Exceeds Re-
ceiptS for Fees.

In response to the provision Of a
resolution Introduced some days ago
by Mr.. DOnnelly, Mr.. Berg, secretary
OF state, yesterday submitted to Speak
Ell Jones a report showing the actual
cost of printing the state tickets for
the last election. Included in the re-
port is a statement of the amoun re-
ceived from each candidate, n cost
Cf printing the ballots, and an account
of all h election printing for 1896. 1t
is shown that each and every candi-
date on the state ticket paid $50 as a
nomination fee, the total being 50, $50,
for which MIR. Berg holds the receipt
of Treasurer Koerner. Annexed to the
report is the statement of State Printer
Whitney, showing that the 700, 600 state
ballots cost for printing, binding aud
wrapping $3,338.59; printing wrappers,
1924; 1850 pounds of paper, 1854. 80;
total, $4,112.63, or at the rate per 1.000
ballots Of $5.87.
Mr.. Whitney has also added a state
ment of the items in election printing
for 1896, the total for which was
81. 959.64.
The whole report was ordered printed
and placed on the desks of the MEM
bers.
Some of the members Of the house
thought the bill was pretty high, in
view Of the magnitude Of the Job, but
it is stated by State Printer Whitney
that the work is difficult of comparison
with other printing, by reason Of the
extra handling involved under the re-
quirements of the law. This is explicit
in its ~insistence that there shall be
exactly 100 ballots in each package.
and must he carefully wrapped after
counting. The ballots are counted
twice, and then other precautions arg
taken to prevent any of them getting
away or any false ones being substi-
tuted. and all this entails additional
labor IN getting them out. Mr.. Whitney
called attention to the fact that while
the state ballots only cost S5.S7 pei.
1000, counties had to pay much higher
for their ballots, in some cases as high

f lot HIN.
Yesterday was pay day for the legis-
lature and its employees. and there has
been some CONSERVATION because the
usual ten-day stipend was not forth
coming. The whole pay roll was held
up because the state auditor would not
agree to the 81 a day ate demanded
by the second assistant clerks Of
house and senate. At the last session
the house clerk was paid 81 a day and
the senate SIS. The attorney general
thought the precedent established in
the house might stand, but did not see
how it could be stretched to apply in
the case of the second assistant clerk
Of the senate. The matter was COM
promised by striking off the James OF
the clerks concerned and allowing the
others to get their eagerly awaited
salaries Both house and senate will
probably fix the salaries in question by
resolution.
