by a fragment of shell. 1t was only a
scratch, but it drew blood pretty freely,
and that seemed 10 please the colonel He

wounded A piece of shell struck our colonel
on the back of the hand. He wrapped his
handkerchief about the wound and paid no
more attention to 1t. When he came back
to our line moment later he held out the
bsndaged hand to some of US who were
nearest to him and said: Well boys, I've
got it, too.
II never saw a man so anxious to get in
a scrap before in my life. When we were
being held in reserve on the first day of the
fight he kept saying to the other officers:
I wish they'd let us start. When we did
get our orders to advance you ought to have
seen him. But / guess everybody knows
about that part or IT. lie rougned IL just

NOBLESVILLE Ind. Aug. 10.-Three
weeks ago the City Council passed an ordi-
nance taxing all wheels that used the
streets. II was for the purpose of raising
funds with which to clean the streets. The
ordinance went into effect last week and
$50 had paid the tax and secured tags for
their buggies, wagons and bicycles. In the
meantime a bitter fight has been made on
the ordinance and remonstrances largely
signed were presented to the Council. The
Council at its meeting Monday night took
up the matter again, and by vote of three
to two repealed the ordinance The license
fees are now being paid back to those who
had paid This action of the Council will
require the raising of the levy for next
year for city purposes. The ordinance if
it had not been repealed would have
brought into the city treasury about 1920

To Facilitate Granting of Pensions.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1O.-A special to the
Tribune from Washington says: THE sug-
gestion that hospital and medical. well
as military, records of all officers and SOL
diers enlisted in the war against Spain be
carefully made and preserved as a part Of
the permanent records of the War Depart
ment in order to facilitate the adjudica-
ton and payment of future claims for pen
sions, it appears, is being favorably con-
sidered by the higher officials of the de-
partment. The plan suggested is so prac-
teal and easy of execution at a moderate
expense of time, and is withal one from
which both the government and claimants
for pensions will derive some benefit, that
1t seems strange nobody ever proposed it
long ago. There appears now to be a fair
pr ability that it will be adopted and car
ried out, as 10 legislation will be needed
to set it in motion"
