King" the old nanny of the establish
ment we laid n solemn injunction upon
" Old AuHty" and started her mp into the
city 10 find out the exact location of the
General and his staff and return speedily,
bringing us the desired information
Aunty obeyed, wabbed off toward the
town, while the tired companies, two OF
which bad been detailed to make the charge
and capture waited almost breathlessly and
impatiently for her return
Soon there appeared a white lady plodding
rapidly and heavily with bedraggled skirts
through the mud toward our line. Aunty
had gone to the house of her young mistress
who was none other than the loyal daughter
in-law of the disloyal Widow Williams. then
entertaining the distinguished chief She
had communicated to this yeung mistress
the object of her mission so early in the
morning. She had been detained by her mis-
tress, who, preferring to trust herself rather
than The negress Aunty, had come in person,
bringing the information tiIat surely and
certainly the chief and 81 aft were lodging
at the palatral home of her mether-iI- law
His command was just outside the city
lmmediately two companies moved quietly
and quickly iuto the city, surrounding the
whole block upon which the Williams man
sian was located, cutting Off all avenues of
escape. About the time of early rising the
staff was then surprised, and Morgan, hastily
donning part of his wearing apparel, sprang
to the front walk and dashed down evidently
toward his horse at the barn ACROSS the
street. Seeing the situation, he turned sud
denly off and retreated toward q side gate
INTO the orchard and vineyard. Being halted
and called upon to surrender ly Private
Campbell, he turned his head, making reply ::
;" To surrender or die are the last things
think about"
Instantly Campbell leyeled upon him and
fired, the ball passing through hI0rgau's
body, and, falling, he soon expired. The
line OF soldiers rushed against the plank or
board fence separating the street from the
vineyard, pushing the fence down, entered
the vineyard and picked UP the body.
They carried it out. lifted the limp form
across a horse and dashed back to camp.
Morgan dead and his staff captured, his com
maud was put to rout and pursued for many
miles by 1ngertons troops.

Requests and Answers.

Will you please give date of first Sunday
school organization? Where and by whom ?
H. II. CLARK, Warren, Ore.
1t is probable that Sunday Schools ex
listed from the earliest period, when the
Christians assembled, as they were COM
manded, on the first day OF the week; but
the first Snnday-schools on record were those
organized A. ID. $50 for the instruction of
children and novi,iates The modern Sun
day-schOols were established by Luther, Mt
Wittenberg in 1927; by John Knox at
Edinburg in 1860, and Archbishop Boro-
meo ut Milan in 1880. The first Sunday
schools in this country were started in Rox-
bury, Mass, 1874, and Plymouth, Mass, in
1850. The Sunday school AS it exists to-day
is traceable to Robert Raikes in 1881 among
the poor children at Gloucester, England

Veterans Opinions of the Pension
Question.

Many comrades write to TIE NATIONAL
TETBUSE what they think about pensions.
Below are given some of the views expressed:
i. II. Priest, HughesyiIle, Pa A Service
Pension Bill Is just the thing for every man
who served 80 days or over and received an
honorable disehar.e.
n. II. KaTRs Euphemia o.: I agree with
several comrades who have written to your
paper that the short-tsrm men have had the
preference, both in the laws and the adj
mInistratIon OF the laws. The longer
man served his country, and the greater
the hardships endured that much longer IA
seems TO take to get his claim adiudicated,
aad the less he gets after Ii Is adiudicated.

prisoner 13 months and II days; was blown
up on the IIl-fated steamer Sultana and was
SIX years getting hearing of my claim, and
then received notice that / had been re-
Jected- made q new application and re-
ce1ved 81 per month, with an increase Of 50.
Gamaliel Staley, Roper, ). C.: l wish to
record my vote IN favor of Service Pension
Bill, with Per Diem feature
Z. K. MGsDy. Corporal, Co. K, 4th Ind.
Cav, Grand View. Ind. am in favor of q
Service Pension with Per Diem attachments.
The three-mOnths men III these parts ara
getting the larger pensions.
M. McPeck, Sc0ttsEille, Kan: / am in
favor OF a Service Pension Bill. 1t would
do away with much expense to the Govern
ment for Examining Boards. etc.
Arthur Frame, Alma, \. Y: I favor q
Per Diem Bill. Every veteran ought to do
his best to get it started.
j. Y. Wood, North Turner, Me- hold
up both hands In favor of Service Pension.
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE is doing great
and good work for the soldiers, and I look
ahead to it's coming with pleasure each
week
Matthew III. Palmer, Barrett, Mimi: I
think the pension laws should be so amended
that veteran drawing pension may marry
a widow also drawing a pension, without
either forfeiting right to pension. Both
would be able by that means to make and
maintain home of their OWL, instead of the
man possibly having to resort to Soldiers
Home and the woman be outside. As it is,
it is direct penalty to the widow of fine
to the amount of her pension per month il
she does marry.
