Two Old Boys Met.

One of the pleasant things the En-
campment brought about, was meet
ing between Daniel Huber of this
city and Mark Markham of Hepler.
These old gentlemen had been boys to-
gether inOhio, had gone to the same
school. attended the same apple cut
tings, played weevley wheat, wade the
swamps, build temporary telegraph
lines, over which messages were clicked
off, somewhat slower however than
Lutte Weiser sends them, and other
games such as only the old time people
know anything about. They went
with the same girl, swung, on 1.-THE
same gate. played Black Man, Two
Old Cat and Stink Base and in fact
their young lives were so closely linked
together that it seemed almost like
brothers meeting. Since they parted
in 1856 great rebellion has been sue
cessfully put down and many other
changes wrought. Both these old boys
served with honor in the Union army,
Mr.. Huber in the 184th Ohio, and
Mr.. Markham in an Illinois regiment.
Mr.. Markham spent one night with
the friend of his boyhood and they
promise to Try and see each other once
or twice each year from now on till
death separates them.

The coming of the great Walter L..
Main Shows to Chanute on May II
will be as a treat to the citizens Of
Neosho and Wilson counties like they
never experienced before. Manager
Main, while being among the younger
school Of circus owners, is also one Of
the swealthiest, and in organizing his
show for the season Of 1897, he has
spared no money to secure the best for
every department. A glance at the
list of celebrities under his control
will convince the most skeptical that
he has. been amply rewarded for his
lavish outlay, for they are the best in
the world in their various lines. His
horses, many of them imported, are
models of horse flesh, while his stud
of trained horses do everything but
talk. They will appear at every per-
Torrance with their original trainer.
A royal troupe of Japanese, imported
expressly for this vast enterprise, and
the only double troupe ever brought
to this country, is another feature.
They would be a whole show with the
ordinary circus, but are only single
feature with the Main shows. Acres
Of tents are required to accommodate
this huge amusement.

COAL BOATS MOVING.
Excellent Coal Stage Reached Yester-
day-.-Will Be Falling To-Day.
Shipment to Be Light--Other River
Items.

The marks at the wharf last evening
showed a stage of Is feet inches and
rising. Reports from above yesterday
showed the river at PittsbIrg to be IL
feet and falling, with light rain fall
ing. AS the river at Pittsburg on Mon
day reached the twelve and half-foot
stage, yesterdays marks indicate fall
of foot and half in about twenty
four hours. At Oil City the river was
8 feet inches and falling. At all other
points the river was falling with the
exception Of Parkers', where the stage
was 3 feet 10 inches and stationary.
From the above indications the river
will be falling here this morning. 1t
is not likely that much coal can be
shipped South on the present rise, as
all conditions point to speedy fall.

Several Witnesses Who Saw the
Start Of the Trouble-The State
Announces That the Evidence on
Its Side Will Be Finished To-Day.
Special to the Register.
Parsons, W. Va, December Tho
crowds at the Eastman trial continue
to grow and the attendance of ladies
becomes larger and larger. The trial
was without any exciting incidents to-
day, but little controversy being in
dulged in by counsel, and a good solid
days work was done getting in the
evidence.
The first witness to-day was Thomas
Wheeler, who testified that he was i'll
Parsons on the. 18th of March last,
though not interested in the contempt
proceedings being heard here that day.
Witness said that on that evening bot1
he and Frank Thompson were asked to
go to Davis on the special train by DR..
Brown, who had arranged for the
train and who told them he had been
Obliged to guarantee the railroad COM
pany $50 to secure the special, and that
he wanted all to go on it who could,
for if the fares fell short of the guar
antee he would have to pay the differ
ence himself. Witness said he was the
first man on the car and when the
car was about half full witness saw
Thompson enter, closely followed by
Eastman, the two coming down the
aisle. Eastman siad, according to the
witness, that no d-n s. of b.
could ride on that car, and overtaking
Thompson, either bumped against
him, showed him or said something to
him, for Thompson turned around and
looked at Eastman, but said nothing.
Thompson then dropped into a seat
and witness saw no more until he
heard the shots. He did not know who
fired the first shot.
D. A. McCrea said that he sat very
near to where Thompson dropped into
a seat in the car and saw Eastman
come down the aisle to Thompson
and say, mo s. of b. like you can
ride on this car" to which Thompson
said nothing. Eastman then slapped
Thompson, McCrea says, and Thomp-
son arose and turned toward Eastman,
who backed away two or three steps.
Then the firing began. Witness says
he saw Thompson's revolver every in
slant from the time it was drawn I'M
til the shooting was over, because he
was facing him, while Eastham's back
was turned toward witness. Witness
said two shots were fred by somebody
before Thompson fired a shot, but he
does not say Eastman fired them, for
the latter's back was toward him and
he could not see what he was doing.
Martin Houston, Clarence Taylor, B.
D. Wolford, ]. H. Good, William Hen
ming and e. Gum all saw Eastman
come down the aisle to Thompson and
heard him say, "No d-n perjured s.
of b. should ride on that car, to
which Thompson said nothing. None
OF these, however, except Taylor, saw
Eastman slap Thompson, but all of
them heard the shooting a little later.
None of them knew who fired the first
shot.
Mr.. Dayton, of counsel for the prose
cution, announced in court this even
ing that the State would probably con-
Guide it's testimony tomorrow and
rest its case.
Upon that information, counsei for
the defense are in conference to night,
getting ready for the introduction or
their testimony and arranging the de-
tails of their defense.

His Rest.

In the life of Whittier it is told how
in the days of the civil war. an old
Quaker from the New Hampshire hills
came down for an interview with the
good poet. The Green mountain dis
ciple of Fox was the owner of sturdy
lot Of oak trees. The government had
set its eye upon them, and wanted to
buy them. The Quaker knew that the
purpose of the bargain must be to get
timber for the new war ships that
were building. He hardly knew wheth-
er sale for such purpose was con-
sistent with the gospel of peace. Whit
tier, either seeing that the mans mind
was pretty thoroughly made up to the
bargain, OF else considering that there
was such thing as pushing q good
creed too far, wonld only say: "Well.
friend, If thee dost sell any timber TO
the United States. be sure that tits all
sound" The oak from that Quaker's
farm was in the Kearsarge when she
taught the Alabama to the finish

stationed at Seminary ridge, thuu-
dered at eight of our pieces on Gene
terry ridge, in command OF Gen. H. j.
Hunt, Gen. Meade's chief of artillery.
But these were parts of great battles,
not duels, although l see they are
called duels by these fellows who write
history. The artillery fight at Port
Gibson was duel-nothing more and
nothing less-and was witnessed by the
greater part of two armies who did
nothing but watch the gunners and
shout when the fur few.
~In the spring of 1863 Gen. Grant was
maneuvering about Vicksburg in an eff
fort to get near enough to the fortified
city to strike an effective blow. Troops
below Vicksburg crossed to the east
bank of the Mississippi at Bruinsburg.
Port Gibson 3s'ten or twelve miles east
of Bruinsburg. and at that point the
confederates were in force. At dawn on
May l, 1863, the two armies were face to
face.
"When we reached Port Gibson"
the Sauk City innkeeper continued.
both armies halted to take breath.
Way off toward the confederate line
was a solitary house. and near this was
the rebel artillery. While we stood
there battery of confederate artillery
left the line. trotted out as If on parade,
swung around into line. and, unlim-
befed. 1t was all done with the pre-
cision and nicely of parade at West
Point. Every man was in his place. we
could see, although the distance was
three-quarters of a mile. There the
men stood, like so many statues in gray.
Everybody asked what it meant, but
no one could say.
"'By Jove, it's challenge some one
finally calculated. And sure enough it
was.
There was no move in our line for a
minute or two; then the bugle of the
First Wisconsin sounded. and out went
the six guns, swung into line, and un-
limbered. In 30 seconds the confeder-
ates saw that the challenge was accept
ed, and both batteries opened fire.
while the singular duel was in
progress from 12 to 20 shots were fred
from each gun. The First Wisconsin
was commanded by Capt. Jake Foster,
an old Ozaukee county boy who went
out to Minnesota and enlisted at La
Crosse. He was n pond soldier himself
and his gurners were crackeriacks. and
those percussion shells made theconfed-
crates jump. 1t wasn't five minutes be-
fore they had enough and started to
withdraw the battery.
"Our boys disabled three guns. blew
up e caisson or two, if remem Der right,
killed a confederate captain, and
wounded three or four gunners. Every
shot that told was greeted by loud
cheer from our boys,"-Milwaukee Sen
tinel.
