covers, so cents. The author Of this story
was the depot ordnance officer of Sher-
mans army in this city in 1S64-65, and had
an Office in the old Planters Bank The
story is that of a student who was strong
in the natural sciences, and especially
mineralogy and geology. He led his
classes in these and agriculture. He was
impulsive, and fun of the innocent devil
try of youth, but manly withal. He was
mischievous, yet studious at one and the
same time. A great rebellion, fomented
by the college secret societies, broke out
in the college where he was a student, and
he was an active participant therein. Now,
all the signals and passwords of these So
cietieS were i'm Latin and, although he was
not classical student, he understood ev
eryone of them. Well, the college rebel
lion resulted i'm his expulsion, and he was
handsomely rescued from prosecution by
his secret enemy-Quantrell-b a beloved
professor, and members of the secret so
cieties who were, at the time. attired in
masks and unique costumes. Moultrie es-
capped and went to the far West, where
he Joined an uncle who was extensively
engaged in silver mining and who found
MOulIfle'S tecnmcal knowledge Oh vast
value. Thereafter Moultrie developed re-
markable business ability; and. ere long,
his exceptional aptitude made both his
uncle and himself immensely wealthy,
through their great success as contractors
for furnishing Indian agencies and from
tier army posts with fuel, hay, grain and
meat, and as ranchmen and real estate
and live stock dealers on a large scale.
The rescue of a train besieged by Indians,
terrific prairie fire, a midnight battle
with ravenous wolves garrison life on the
plains a ball at frontier fort, and bat
ties between savages and such troops as
Custer, Crook and Merritt led in Indian
campaigns, are part of the text. and the
officers and soldiers of our army
are shown to be the real
pioneers of the Westward March of
the Star of Empire" Moutrie finally be-

GOVERNOR AND THE MILITIA
Holcomb Gives the New York Her
aid His Opinion.

Governor HoIcomb has received the fol-
lowing telegram relative to the use OF the
National Guard in time of war, and the
authority for calling the same into service:
What I'm your opinion is the authority OF the
president of the United States over the militia
of the several states in time of war. and can he
call upon them to form q part Of the federal
forces for the purpose of sending them outside
the country. as well as to repel invasion? Would
any attempt to send militia to Cuba meet with
any such opposition from the militia as In 1872,
when the question of sending the militia ont OF
the United States was raised? What is your
opinion of the bill introduced into congress
giving the president absolute power to call upon
the militia direct without waiting for governors
to act?
In reply to the above the governor sent
the following:
Answering your telegram regarding state mil
itia will say aside from provisions made by con-
gresS. laws of Nebraska provide that organized
militia of the state may first be ordered into
active service to repel invasion, etc. upon requl-
sition of the president; unorganized militia
thereafter as may be required prOpOrtionate tc
population. When once in active service il
would seem militia becomes part of federal
forces and subject to same laws and regulation.

greSsional bill affecting state militia to speak ad.

Sigsbee Leaves Havana.

Capt. Sigsbee of the Maine and other
officers left Havana for Key West Satur-
day morning on the steamer Olivette. No
one present will ever forget the scene in
the cabin Of the Olivette just before that
boat sailed for Key West. On the center
table stood a large floral piece intended to
represent a ship. Near the flowers stood
Consul General Lee. At his left was Capt.
! Sigsbee, while grouped around were naval
officers and newspaper men to the number
of a score. American ladies were there,
too. In a voice trem bling with emotion
Gen. Lee, in behalf of the newspaper men,
presented the flowers to the captain. With
wet eyes, and those who looked ON felt the
moisture, too, Gen. Lee babe Capt. Sigsbee
"good fortune now and always" to which
there was a deep chorus of a%ssents, as
Capt. Sigsbee stepped forward in the
circle. The captain could not trust him
self to speak of his ship, but he could
say, and gladly, what he had put into
that all the newspaper men in Havana had
treated him with absolute good faith; had
never intruded upon him, and had never
taken advantage of the confidence placed
in them. On his part, he added, he had
never refused to see newspaper men.
Then, turning to Gen. Lee, Capt. Sigs-
bee paid him a high tribute. He said:
"We all love him (Cries of right, cap
tain, we do') as being bravery, geniality
and good Judgment personified." The
captain also said: 1.-THE United States has
no better representative abroad than gal

Dipping Process Endorsed by DR.
Connaway.
Under the direction of the Missouri san
itary board DR.. Connaway of Fort Worth,
Texas, has been conducting experiments
relative to the eradication Of the southern
or splenetic fever. The cattle were pro-
cured from the Texas experimental sta
ton. The doctor concludes that ticks
communicate the fever, and even goes so
far as to affirm that ticks Matched in the
laboratory are entirely capable OF COM
municating the disease if they are the
progeny of ticks taken from cattle brought
from the infected districts. The doctor
says he has every confidence in the Dip
ping process becoming generally success
full, and its results will be to entirely free
cattle from the fever breeding ticks.
Three dipping, he says, are necessary to
thoroughly do the work of making south
ern cattle perfectly safe for shipment to
northern ranges.

Favorable Western and North
western Reports the Feature.
Bradstreet's Weekly Review says: The
favorable features of the week in dis
tributive trade have been the reports
coming, with few exceptions, from all
parts of the west and northwest and
marred only by the check to business and
shipments caused by heavy rains and high
water in the Ohio valley. The coarse cot
ton goods situation does not improve in
any way and declines in print cloths to a
still lower record quotation render in
creasingly imminent action by manufac-
turers toward curtailing production in
this line. While some wooden goods mills
have already booked good orders the bus
mess done as a whole has not been up to
anticipations. Raw wool, however, does
not reflect the rather unsatisfactory con-
dition in the manufactured product in
lower quotations.

Missouri Judge Holds that Boards
of Trade Have that Right.
Judge E. p. Gates, at Kansas City, has
rendered a decision which is important TO
every board of trade and commercial Or
ganization in the country. The case grew
out of a dispute between the f. A. Farmer
Commission Company and the Perrine
Bros. Commission Company, over the pay
ment of a debt of $2,272.50. The Farmer
Company was ordered to submit the dis
quite to arbitration, and when the commit
tee ordered the Farmer Company to pay
the sum in dispute to the Perrine Company
the Farmer Company fatty refused. Then
the board of trade notified the Farmer
Company that it would be expelled, and to
prevent this Farmer obtained a temporary
restraining order. Judge Gates dissolved
the order, holding that the members of the
board of trade must be bound by its by
laws, otherwise thec corporation would be
inactive. de held, therefore, that the

early hour Monday morning at Atlanta,
