ANGRY SOLDIERS BROKE CAMP.

countermanding Of Orders to the frsnt
Caused Mutiny in an illinois Regiment.
Chickamauga, Ga, July 28.-Fol
the second time the order for the
fifth Illinois regiment TO start tc
Porto Rico was countermanded yes
terday and the One Hundred and
Sixtieth Indiana, regiment was sent
In it's place The Illinois soldiers
are very bitter in their expressions
toward Colonel Culver, the com
handing officer. The charge is
made that the Colonel is anxious to
stay at Chicamaaga to superintend
the worn Of building monuments.
The Colonel it is said is interested
in the contracts.
Many of the man do not share the
feeling against Colonel Culver, be
lieving the orders were given from
Washington, because Illinois ia well
represented at the front, while the
Indiana regiments were at the re
cruiting camps till to-day. Culver
expresses great disappointment at
the recall of his regiment but declin
es to express any opinion as to the
motives that prompted the change
of plans.
As soon as the full situation
dawned on the men the greatest dis
order prevailed and there was no
semblance of discipline.
Men left the ranks by dozens and
scores and last night nearly 100
members of the regiment left camp
without leave, and came to the city
The morale Of the regiment is shat
tered and many of the men declare
they will no longer serve under Cul
YER. Efforts to restrain the men
were unavailing. One man broke
his gun over tree and left camp
without leave.

Obituary.

ED. TIMEs:-I beg permission to
relate through the columns of your
excellent paper for the benefit of his
many friends some information re-
garding the life and death of our
brother, Orlando B. Dillon, who de-
parted this life on Monday July II,
1898, at clock p. III.
Mr.. Dillon was born in Missouri in
| 1860, was well respected and stood
high in society and loved by all who
knew him. He was a kind loving
husband and good neighbor, always
ready to lend helping hand in time
OF need. He was a devoted Christian
and nothing pleased him better than
to talk OF his Savior, his love for
Him and his home in heaven.
After travelling for some time he
located in the Cherokee Nation in
1894, where he and his brother con-
Quoted a large farm and dealt in
stock, and it seemed that God bless
ed him in every thing he turned to
do. November IS. 1896, he was mar
ried to Miss Dema Nieukirk, of Bates
county, Mo.
During OrlandO's illness be had
the best medical attention, but to no
avail, God called and he had to go.
He was afflicted with typhoid malaria
and dropsy. \ short time before he
died he called his family around his
bedside and begged them not to
grieve for him, as he was ready and
willing to die. and was prepared to
meet his Savior. Oh, how sad it is
when our memory wanders only a
few weeks back, but seemingly a
long distance back in Iife's stream
when that unbroken home circle
gathered within the sacred walls of
that happy home. To-day that dear
brother is sleeping his last long sleep
far away from his dear home, in the
city Of the dead.
We listen for his footsteps, but
never again will he come back to us.
Oh, how itful are the tears we shed
over the folded garments Of our dear
lost ones, but these Affections teach
US TO be more tender and helpful to
the aching hearts around Us. He
leaves a wife and baby, an aged
father, tive brothers and one sister
to mourn their loss.
Dear Orlando, thou hast left US.
How we miss you none can tell,
But we give you back to Jesus

the same result was achieved by 9TH
