HOW A BOY WENT TO WAR.
His Crude Weapons Were Quickly
Discarded.


Discarded.
Col. r. M. Wynne, in speech at Hen
derson, Tex, ON Confederate day."
said: Il can never forget the equip
ment with which 1 started to the scenes
of war. And when I describe my own
will for the most part have described
the southern army at the commence
ment of the war. had never seen an
army gun or even a company of sol
diers. But the blissful ignorance of the
necessary arms for momentous strug-
gle like the one we were embarking in,
I took from the rack behind the door at
my fathers home, near Birdville, his
old double-barreled shotgun. 1 got
from an old bureau drawer an old rusty
single-barreled pistol about 1S inches
long, and when I put it in my belt it
almost came down to my knees. got
a horseshoe file and had me a huge
bowie knife made as long as my arm.
i saddled plow horse, and with q
swelling bosom and throbbing heart
rode away from the old home to the
scenes Of the bloody conflict, confident
in my verdant youth that my own arms
were equal to any in the hands of the
foe. Sad to say, however, my conf
dence and pride in them were all too
soon cruelty dispelled; for the first line
of Yankees we ever encountered began
to send mimic balls whistling around

to precedent, but it is said that the

to everyone some of the members who
might otherwise bolt Hanna will be

There can really be no conflicting inter-
ests between the West and East so far
as the schedules of a tariff bill are con-
cerned unless they should be made so dis
eliminating in their character as the put
ting of cotton ties on the free list while
the duty on the raw material was So per
cent. There seems to be elose who think
otherwise The East is the Vests best
market outside of itself and vice versa.
When the manufacturers of the East have
full orders the people of the whole coun~
try are in condition to purchase. When
the millions living in the States which do
not raise wheat, corn and meat have full
employment, the farmers of the West are
sure of a large demand. Years ago the
East did most of the manufacturing and
the States west of the Aleghenies very
little. That was as long ago as the war;
now the West is the seat of many large
and varied interests. The manufacture of
pottery, glass, shoes and woolens was once
confined to the East. Now all of these are
prominent industries in the West Just
now it is claimed that there is Il contrc-
versy between Eastern and Western inter-
hides 1t appears that the woolgrowers
and dealers have got together in the Sem
ate BILL and that the controversy now is
over hides. This controversy has come
up as often as tariffs have been discussed,
but has been settled by compromise.
Now, as heretofore, the enemies of the
protective tariff in the West are declaring
that tho 1racout efforts m raise tho tariff
are in the interests of the Eastern manu-
facturer. Turn to the free-trade organs of
Boston and the speeches at the late meet
ing of the Tariff Reform Club in that city,
and the reader will learn that the Dingley
bill and all bills of that characteristic de-
signed to give the Western farmer the adj
vantage in the wool and like markets to
the detriment of the Eastern people. Some
of these directors to protection and reve-
nue. legislation desire to array one section
against the other as did the advocates of
the free coinage of silver year ago. 9th
ers are free-traders. They claim the right
to buy in the cheapest market, even to la
Dor. They derounce protectionists as sor-
did, while those persons who demand the
right to buy the cheapest article regard
less of the fact that such cheapness is at
the cost of living wages, seem to regard
themselves as public benefactors. A judi
cious tariff one which will afford reason
able protection to all leading industries and
bring to the treasury ample revenue such
as the Republicans in this Congress will de-
vise will be beneficial to every part of the
country.

FESTIVAL SALE OPENS TODAY
Season Tickets Only May Be Had After
8 O'Clock.

The subscriptions for season tickets for
the May Music Festival received up
to last night indicate. 50 the directors say
that between $50 and 500 will be taken
when the sale opens at the Big Four ticket
office at clock this morning. There WILL
of course, be sales to many others besides
subscribers, and altogether the prospects
for the largest first days advance sale in
the history of the festival association are
excellent If it should be as large as antici-
pated it will go very far toward insuring
financial success. The directors hope and
expect to sell 700 season tickets this year
There will, of course be a great rush
to buy tickets when the sale opens this
morning The directors will be there to
superntend it and prevent discrimination
and the buying of an excessive number of
seats by one person. The total seating ca
pacity of Tomlinson Hall is over $500, and
there is comaratively little choice in the
seats. so there will be plenty for all pros
pectiye patrons. There has been no adj
vance in the prices for season tickets this
year although there is necessarily an adj
which Nine. Calve sings, and as every seat
in all probability for that night, will be
sold in advance, the only sure way of secur-
ing the most desirable locations is by buy
There is an Indication of an unusually
large sale of seats out of town. Already
many orders have been received and more
are coming in with every mail. Half-fare
of the festival this year have undoubtedly
contributed largely to this result.
Mr. Ferd Mayer, OF the directory, will
be at the Big Four ticket office from 7:30
additional numbers before the sale opens at
9 o'clock.

holds that, no matter how regular the act
of a board of directors may be as to form
how legal in other respects, it may be
set aside by a court Of equity if shown to
have been done in bad faith or in disre-
gard of the interests of the corporation
In the case in court the action of the di-
rectors had been ratified by majority of
the stockholders, yet the court held that
even this would not prevent it from inter-
fering to protect the rights of the minority
This is good equity and ought to be good

rule a just judge may become a powerful
protector of minority stockholders against
a class of robberies which heretofore have
had the quasi sanction of law.

THE MEDICAL CONGRESS.
Topics Discussed by Physicians and
SurgeOns-Dr. Welch's Paper.

WASHINGTON, May 5--Many of the
branch societies and organizations of the
Congress of the American Physicians and
Surgeons held meetings to-day and dis
cussed technical matters relating to their
branches of the medical profession. This
afternoon the members of the congress held
their second days general meeting at the
| National Theater. The session was under
the joint participation eof the Association
of American Physicians, the American
Physiological Society and the American
Pedriatic Society. About 100 physicians at
tended DIR. WEIGH, of Baltimore, presided
The theme was Internal Secretions." The
papers read and addresses made We're
largely of a technical character and bore
on the physiological, pathological and elm
zeal aspects of the question. The discussion
was led by a paper sent by DR.. w. II.
Howell of Baltimore, who treated the Ques'
ton from a physiological standpoint lie
combatted the Brown-Sequard definition
attributing internal SecrettOnS to all tissues
of the body as a. little premature and not
entirely justified by experience then or
now. 1t, however, he said, presented at
tractive possibilities opening UP a new field
He held that the thyfoid tissues form a
true internal secretion, and that the most
important fact remaining for discovery is
the manner of the action OF, the secretion
upon the tissues of the body. The one
clearly successful method of treatment by
animal tissues was pointed out as the use
of thyroid extracts and important results
obtained by experimental physiology were
cited tending to prove the existence of in
ternal secretions in number of the gland
uar organs.
In the discussion a number of well-known
physicians participated, among them Prof.
H. F. Chittenden, of New Haven, Conn
DR. r. George Adami, of Montreal, Canada;
DR., LANES J. Putnam of Boston, Mass. !;
DR.. F. p. Kinnicutt, of New York city, and

Things may be said to be coming Indi-
ana's way when the discovery of a new
natural-gas field follows closely on that
of probably the most extensive oil field in
in Pike county, is remarkable because it is
in a distant part of the State from the gas
field heretofore developed, and three or four
times as far from Indianapolis in a south
west direction as the other field is north
east. If the two are connected even by a
narrow belt the natural-gas field of Indiana
is much larger than any yet discovered,
and eventually it's oil field will be as large.
Another remarkable thing about the Pike
county discovery is that the we'll just
drilled in had a pressure 50 per cent.
greater than that of any well heretofore
drilled in the State.
