Black Jacks Career.

John Alexander Logan, one Of natures
captains, was born in Jackson County,
ILL.,, Feb. o, 1926. In mighty drama he
played commanding role. When he had
hung up his sword he was raised TO n Sc.
lect group of his nations statesmen, and
there he continued to sustain the respect
that his blameess valor had won him on
the bloody field. Named to sit beside the
mead man of his countrymen, he led gall
liant charges in that civil campaign that
shook the eventful summer of 1884, and,
though uhiewarded with victory, he for
felted not the love and admiration of his
followers, who afterward saw with salts
faction their swarthy chieftain continued
IN his statesman's chair. With powers
undated for future high service he was
suddenly called on the 26th of December,
loo6, to exchange his toga for his shroud
These are the influential facts in John
y. Logan's distinguished career:
lie was of Irish stock, his father cmi-
grating from Ireland to Maryland. to
kentucky, To Missouri, to Illinois.
lie was educated at a common school,
and by II tutor and at Shiloh College.
lie served in the Mexican war and
served WELL
After the Mexican war he studied law.
In lSol he was graduated ut Louisville
University, admitted TO the bar, and be-
came partner of his uncle, Alexander NJ.
Jenkins.
lie was now developing the gifts that
made him man to be chosen to lead
Therefore in 1852 and in 1896 he sat in
the Illinois Legislature He was also
elected prosecuting attorney.
In 1852 he removed to Benton, Frank
lin County.

As IN instance of his unfailng courtesy
to the enemy, and especially To women
and children, Major Mitchell, one of Lo-
gans old staff officers and Board of
Trade man now in Chicago, relates the
following incident: when the army was
encampCd at Huntsville Il Southern wom-
an, whose husband and sons were in the
Confederate army, applied to Logan for
protection. She lived alone with her two
daughters, and was afraid that the fam
lily might be molested III some way. Lo-
gan at once stationed guard at her
house and kept it there until the army
moved.
Logan never could resist the appeal of
the old soldier. After the bitter campaign
of 1884 az old volunteer, lame and broken
in health, presented himself before the
general one evening. He preferred re-
quest, compliance with which would have
placed Logan in the position of an appli-
cant for favor from the administration.
Much agitated at the old mans story. the
general ut last exclaimed stormily:

Joy the monument to Logan was unveiled
Thursday. This was the anniversary Of
the battle of Atlanta, fought in 1864, at
which Logan reached the summit of his
military fame
The ceremony was accomplished in the
presence of multitude notable in its fac
tors, and with n magniticence of detail
quite unprecedented. On the platform at
the foot of the statue was grouped n com
pany that no event of less Importance
could have called together. The widow
of the dead general. army officers who
served with him through the war, Govern
ors of States. members of President Nc
kinley's cabinet and United States Sen
ators sat in the shadow of st. Gauden's
heroic statue and took part in the eXer-
cises. In the throng that listened To Mr..
Peck's Grafton were many of the leading
citizens of the nation and in those greater
multitudcs along the line of march were
thousands of Chicago residents together
with other thousands from every quarter
of the country.
The city has rarely been so profuScly
decorated. 1t was not alone from public
buildings that bunting had been flung to
the breeze. but business houses and pri-
Natc residences in every section of the
city shared in the general display. Presi-

A Heroic Figure.
The statue. which is the tribute of the
State, cost $4,000. The contract for it
was made with Augustus ST. Gaudens
ten years ago and he was told to take his
time and make the statue his masterpiece.
He selected as the scene to be depicted
that moment during the battle OF Atlanta,
when Logan took command Of the Army
of the Tennessee. Readers of history
know that this engagement, on the banks
of Peach Tree creek, was one of the
bloodicst of the war. Brave Gen. Nc
Pherson was in command when the battle
opened. Within an hour he had fallen.
The Union lines had been split, the flank
had been turned and Hoods eager legions
were rolling up the Army of the Tennes-
see like scroll. Then wild figure burst
on the vision of the disheartened men in
blue. "Black jack Logan dashed along
the lines. Waving Il ragged battle flag
snatched from the hand of color bearer,
with head uncovered. his long black hair
streaming in the wind, with eagle-lke fea-
lures ilumined by the fire of resolve, and
driving spurs into his horse, he looked
the very rcrsonification of victorious war.
At his word the lines were reformed.
Hood was beaten back. Seven thousand
men fell on either side, but the victory
was with the Union. That is the scene
