Brady Used Up.

John Freelill was brought in from
Timber Creek last Saturday III a
most precarious condition, having his
thront badly cut, the trachea severed
in two places, and the jugulsr laid
bare. The accident, for such it ap-
pears to be, is surrounded in deep
mystery; as no one can be found who
possesses positive knowledge as to
how the injured man became so hor-
ribly lacerated. There are several
stories atioat purporting to detail the
manner in which Mr.. Freehin was in
jured, but none OF them are sub.
stantiated. One version is that John
was riding along the road near his
home on Timber Creek, on horse
back having his knife out in the act
OF cutting tobacco when the horse
suddenly started up throwing John to
the ground and which resulted in the
irfliction of the deep wound on
Johns throat. Another is, that suicide
was attempted. All of the charges,
however, are mere conjecture, ut least
so far as the public know. Time
and future developments will alone
uncover the facts which at present
are ebrouded in mystery. 1t is re-

Appeals to Confederate Veterans
to Claim Their Honors
WON BY THEM IN BATTLES
The Northern Soldiers Are Erecting Monuments
and Claiming Great Victories Which
They Never Won.

ST Louis, Nov. 26.-Gen. Vincent Mar
maduke, of Sweet Springs, Mo, who was
recently appointed by the ex- confederate
veterans of Missouri as chairman of a
committee to write AN au .hentic history
of the part Missouri and MlSsourians
took in the civil war, today issusd a ne
markable address.
1T was addressed to the ex-confederates
of Missouri, and said in part: :
'The honor and glory of this great
struggle was with the south, and south
ern soldiers ought, in justice to them
selves and their dead comrades, to pre-
serve The memory of it, While the north
and northern soldiers are inve.ghing
against all manifestations of sectional
feeling, they are erecting monuments to
their successful leaders and telling the
story very much ito their credit and ITO
our det iment. The north had more than
four soldiers to one in the south. Its
armies were reinforced and assisted by
several hundred ships of war, manned
by $4,000 sailors. 1T had unlimited credit,
which meant an unlimited supply Of
money 1t had factories to manufacture
everything needed to arm and equip, ao
supply and ma.nnain hts armies and
fleets. 1t had railways running N every
direction for the transportation of its
TROOPS 1T had intercourse with the whole
world, and could draw recruits for its
army and navy from the whole world.
Tine south had none of these advantages
and they only had money to limited
ea5.nt. withEtaning all this, 1T took
the north four years NO crush US, and
then 1T did 1t by a grinding process and
without having gained single decisive
victory"
