Dewitt Talmage. whom he met on the
train from New York to Washington.
The commander learned for the first
time that the eminent doctor of divinity
had been a consistent admirer and ad-
vocate of the Salvation Army since its
inception, and he thought 1t was we'll
adapted for the purposes proposed. and
for reaching the masses. DR.. Tamage
was also one of the men who came TO
the rescue Of the Salvation Army peo'
pie who were arrested in New York city
years ago, and went on bonds for their
release Another travelling incident
that pleased the commander was tha
meeting, while en- route to this city. with
q travelling correspondent for French
journals in Paris This bohemian was
q globe trotter. He had been nearly
everywhere. and said he had observed
that the Salvation Army was establish
ed In nearly all quarters of the globe,
He had purchased copies of the War
Cry of army lassies on the boulevards
of Paris, and said that the army had a
fine hall right in the SHADOW of the

by strangulation, when an employe of
the oil field went to his assistance and
pulled him out. He was suffering Sc
verely from the shock and was sent to
his home.
HEROISM REWARDED.
One of the happiest men in the oil
district yesterday was Will Crum, who
on the night of the fire performed a he
roic act, which, during the excitement,
was for the moment overlooked. Crum
is an ex-fireman, but is now employed
by the American Crude Oil company as
engineer during the DAY. He was sever
al blocks from the plant when the fire
broke out, and at once hastened toward
1t, fearing that ii was on fire. He was
partially correct in this surmise When
he reached the plant he found that the
derrick, which was not more than four
feet from the fire. was ablaze at the top
The derrick is 70 feet high and the fire
was burning fiercely. A fireman had
ventured up the ladder, but the intense
heat drove him back. Crum, however
was more hardy. and, actuated by the
desire to save his employers property
he seized a line of chemical hose and
mounted to the top. There he stayed
for half an hour, until he had quenched
the last spark. Great holes were burned
in his clothing and he was suffering
intense pain from the heat. In reward
for his act his employers presented him
with new suit of clothes.
The derrick was damaged to the ex-
tent of s25 but 1t would have been a
total loss had it not been for Crum.
INSURANCE DENIED
That the insurance men regard the oil
district as too dangerous to take risks
Is exemplified in the case of Gen. Mer-
rill. the heaviest loser by the fire.
There seems to be limit of 1C0 feet
around we'll within which risks will not
be taken Before Gen Merrill came within
this limit he obtained insurance on his
house ard furniture 1t is said by va
rious property owners adjacent to Gen.
Merrills property that three days be-
fore the fire his policy was cancelled.
This will make Gen. Merrill's loss
heavy. The house, valued at $4,000, was
totally consumed, together with about
$1,000 worth OF furniture.
The others whose. property was de-
stroyed carried no Insurance. for the rea-
son that the insurance companies would
not issue them policies.
The estimate of the entire loss made
by The Herald yesterday morning is
generally regarded as being very COR
rect. If any thing, it Will be greater
Mr.. Bradbury said last night that he
had rot been able to get an exact essi-
mate of his loss.

The territory of the oil well fire Friday

yesterday morning. The ground was

The Last BuRle Call.

The st. Louis Globe-Democrat has
discovered that the last summons to
battle in the civil war was bugle call
to charge given by Nathaniel Sisson
on the field Of Appomattox.
Mr.. Sisson enlisted when the war
broke out and at its close was bugler
under Custer His regiment was in the
saddle before day on the eventful 8th
day of April and began to, skirmish
with the enemy. An hour later they
reached the position from which the
memorable call to charge was blown.
The next moment two of General
Gordon s aids rode out in advance of the
column. One of them carried towel
fastened to a musket. General Gordon
stated afterward that the towel was
solled and ragged; but, old and torn as
it was, it carried message of peace to
the whole country.
General Custer, seeing this flag of
truce, halted his charging column and
rode alone to the tent of the Confeder-
ate general. When he came out, he said
to General Kapehart, uncovering his
mead, General Lee is treating for Ca
pitulation.
The war was over
The men nearest to him caught the
quiet words and burst into frenzied
cheer. They were men who had fought
bravely, but who thanked God now
that the war was ended. The cheer
swept down the valley, and the hills
shook with the shout which meant
peace.
Let us hope that Nathaniel Sisson's
bugle call to battle ON that April morn
ing was the last that shall ever summon
brother to charge against brother in
this land of ours.

by Dr.. Taft'S ASTHMALENE,
An American Discovery.
John Morrow, an Emiuent Chemist, of
Springfield, o., finds a Remedy that
Promises to ReVOlutioniZe the
Practice Of Medicine,

The present year will always be nOta-
BILE one in the history of the 10Th century
for the many wonderful discoveries it re-
cords. Every branch of science has made
great strides, the most remarkable, per-
hapS, have been made in the practice of
medicine. Now comes the information
that John Morrow an eminent chemist OF
Springfield, o., has discovered a remedy
that promises to be almost infallible in
curing all diseases of the kidneys. So
many of the most important advapces OF
medical science are made by foreign sci
entists that such report is not only OF
great import but highly gratifying as well
MOrrOw'S discovery, while the true in
gradients have nOtyet been published Is ID
the form of yellow tablet and is known
to the medical world as Morrow kldne-
ODDS. This remarkable remedy has been
tried in some of the most severe cases OF
chronic and acute diseases of the kidneys,
and in each case has quickly produced the
most beneficial results.
The fact that death from Bright's dis
ease shows a daily increase is an unpleaS-
ant indication that disorder OF the kidneys
is fast becoming an aifiictiOn of the human
race, and any remedy that promises sure
relief is indeed a blessing to mankind.
The symptoms of deranged kidneys are
too apparent to require a physicians di-
agnoSiS pain in the side and back, aching
bones, a continual feeling of languOr, are
followed by impaired vision, loss OF appe-
tite. swelling of the hands and feet, and
so on until Bright'S disease gets hold.
1t is so insidious in its attack that The
busy man or woman often associates the
symptoms with some tritling ailment, I'M
til the development of the disease causes
complete collapse. With Morrow's Kid
neoids it is intended to remedy all this by
enabling anyone to stop the progress of
the disease and effect permanent cure
without resource to a physician or the
of their duties.
1t is said that one of the largest drug
concerns in the United States is negoti-
ating for the absolute control of Morrow's
Kidneoids. which they intend placing in
every drug store, where il can be prOcur-
ed BY any one without the necessity OF
securing physicians prescription.
