The Revised Command.

A prominent professional man, who,
during the civil war, served in the same
battalion of artillery sRev. T. X Faunt
LIE Roy, tells the following story:
"Faunt lie Roy suffered then, just
as he does now, and he used to have the
deuce of time sometimes giving COM
mands. remember one occasion when
he was a lieutenant. He was in COM
mand of gun on the Mississippi, near
the mouth of the Red, A gunboat was
coming up stream and Faunt lie Roy
ordered his men to load and aim his
gun, which was done. Then he stood,
sword in hand, his jaw working and his
tongue uttering long-drawn
'fIf-f-f-ff-f-f.' He struggled manfully
to get out the word fire, but in vain,
and everybody saw that in few mo-
ments the federal gunboat would be out
of range. No one knew what to do, but
Faurt LIE Roy proved equal to the oc-
.oasion. He stopped and drew his breath.
and then said: 'F-f-f-D- it! Shoot
the ID gun!' That, by the way, was
before Faunt LIE Roy studied for the
,ministry."-N. o. Times-Democrat.

Mr.. Moneybags has given $50 originally
it should be brought to his attention
that Mr.. Closeist has just doubled the
amount and the chances are Mr.. Money
bags will also give $50 extra. Competi-
tion is not only the life of trade, but OF
the subscription business" continued
the gentleman. "It is only by working
both ends against the middle that the
successful end is reached
"This reminds me of some thing which
happened during the war. Two regi-
ments were stationed on opposite sides
of the river. A chaplain went ITO work
on the men composing the regiment
stationed on the north side of the river
with good success. A number of the
men were converted and he left that
regiment and went to continue his mis-
sionary work in the regiment on the
south side of the river. After laboring
sometime, longer time than he had
done with the other regiment, he found
that he would not be so successful.
Only about a dozen men were baptized
from t:le last regiment. The chaplain

toned the fact that so few of the men
had been baptized
"'How many men did you cay were
baptized in the other regimentT the
colonel asked the chaplain sharply.
'Twenty-four,' was the reply from
the chaplain.
1.-The colonel turned quickly around
to his orderly with the quick CON-
mand: Detail thirty-fve men at once
to be baptized Immediately by the chap
lain. I don't propose to let any one
horse regiment get ahead Of us in any
way We've got reputation to sus

A Revolution Breaks Out, but President
Zelaya's Troops Win Out in the First

Washington, Feb. Capt. Leutze, in
command of the Alert, has cabled the
navy department that he has landed
marines at San Juan Del Sur, Nici
ragua, for the protection of the Ameri
can consulate, owing to the fact that q
revolution has broken out.
On Monday Capt. Leutze telegraphed
that the revolutionists had taken pos
session of the city of San Juan Del Sur
and that the government troops were
digging rifle pits in the suburbs pre-
paratory to making an attempt to dis,
lodge them. Yesterday he telegraphed
that the government forces were at
tacl<ing the city and that he had landed
force of marines for the protection OF
the United States consulate and Ameri-
can interests generally. San Juan Del
Sur is near the western terminus OF
the Nicaragua canal and is a cable
station.
Tuesday afternoon another cable
gram was received at the navy depart
ment telling of the progress of the rev
olution. Capt. Leutze said that he haG
landed force for the protection of the
United States consulate, and as the
government forces had given notice o
their intention to lombard the town
he had taken on the Alert all the wo
| men and children who cared for refuge
] The bombardment began Monday anC
| in the end the rebels were driven ou
of town, which was entered and take1
possession of by the government troops

tending to their wants. On that
memorable voyage the supplies of the
officers ran short and rations were
cut down. The young rescuer and
nurse had scarcely enough on which to
subsist, yet she divided her single meal
with others. On the morning after the
battle Col Wheatley presented the
brave girl with fine white horse, and
the soldiers gave three cheers for the
heroine of the battle. Lieut.. Col. Dick

finest sidesaddle and bride that could
be bought.-Milwaukee Sentinel.

simply by seeing one of them out of its

and put to strange uses.
"This was in the fall of '61. in Hamp-

in was aboard transport there, wait

A ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.

Story of n Kansas Woman who Married n
Convict After Laboring for Three Years
to Secure His Release.
Kansas City, Mo-, Feb. "a scion of
noble Mexican family languishing,
unknown, in the Kansas state peniten-
tiary for six years for murder done in
self-defense; his pardon after three
years of untiring effort on the part of
the matron of that institution, and
their final marriage by justice of the
peace, eliminating in revelation of
his identity, are the chapters in most
remarkable story of real life made pub
lie here yesterday. The principals are
Presciliana L. Corpio, whose late father,
Presciliana Corpio, was a millionaire
and ex-postmaster general of Mexico,
and Mrs. Matte U. PEBBLES, of Dis
patch, Kan, a widow.
In the eighties young Mexican who
gave his name as Camille Lopez came
to Kansas City with bunch of cattle
from Guanajuato, Mex, his home. He
| was a handsome, dashing fellow, who
dressed well and spent money freely.
In a short time his money was gone.
He went to Wichita, Kan, and made a
| living as street vender. One night
after an unusually good days business
he was lured into a resort by Mrs.
Sam Dodson. Sam Dodson soon ar
rived on the scene and began making
trouble for the Mexican. Mrs. Dodson
claimed in court, later, that Dodson
was demanding an explanation of the
Mexicans conduct and the Mexican
said that Dodson and his wife had

stabbed Dodson to death with a knife.
Lopez could not talk English and he
did not know how to go about making
a defense. The court assigned him an
attorney and he was convicted of muir
der. Judge Christopher Reed SEN
fenced him to 80 years in the peniten.
tiary.
At the penitentiary Lopez learned to
talk English fluently. He worked al
the tailor trade, but was sent into the
library frequently and there became
acquainted with the matron, Mrs. Mat
tie u. PEBBLES. The matron became in
terested in the Mexican and, as they
after worked together, she learned hi:

A Chicagoan Proposes to Place Another
Story Under the State House at Column
bus-His Price is 100000.
Columbus, o., Feb Oh. Sheeler, of
Chicago, has made proposition to lift
the massive capitol of Ohio and place
another story under the structure. Mr..
Sheeler says he will accomplish this
remarkable feat for $500, 900 and Sena-
tor Miller, of Licking county, has
promised to introduce bill to provide
funds for the undertaking. =, The pres
ent capitol is inadequate to"the needs
of the various state departments and
the previous Legislature provided for
the remodeling of the structure. Plans
have been adopted to this end, but the
great expense that would be entailed
has aroused opposition to the plans.
The Ohio capitol, built of native lime
stone, is one of the most massive build
ings in the country and covers more
than two acres.
Mr.. Sheeler proposes to raise this
immense structure without disturbing
a single occupant of the building. He
would cut off the building at the base
and raise it with screws. This work
alone would require forest of timber,
thousands of screws and the labor of a
thousand men for three weeks The
entire work of completing the structure
would occupy about three months.

ARE YOU TO LIVE IN ALASKAN
Some Requirements That Will B0
EOund Indiapenanble.

Found Indispensable.
The universal article of diet in that :.
country, depended upon and indispensa-
Bile, is bread or biscuit. And tomake the
bread and biscuit, either in the camp OF
upon the trail, yeast cannot be used-it
must be baking powder; and the pow
der manufactured by the processes OF
the Royal Baking Powder Company,
miners and prospectors have learned,
is the only one which will stand in that
peculiar climate of cold and dampness
and raise the bread and biscuit satisfac-
torily.
These facts are very important for
every one proposing to go to Alaska and
the Yukon country to know, for should
he be persuaded by some outfitter to
take one of the cheap brands of baking
powder, it will cost just as much to
transport it, and then when he opensit
for use, after all his labor in packing it
over the long and difficult route, he will
find solid caked mass or a lot of spoiled
powder, with no strength and useless
Such mistake might lead to the most
serious results. Alaska is no place in
which to experiment in food, or try to-
economizc with your stomach. For use
| in such climate, and under the trying
and fatiguing conditions of life and
labor in that country, everything must
| be the best and most useful, and above
all it is imperative that all food supplies
shall have perfect keeping qualities. 10
is absurd to convey over such difficult
and expensive routes an article that
will deteriorate in transit, or that wilL
be found when required for use to have
lost great part of it's value.
There is no better guide to follow
in these matters than the advice of those
who have gone through similar expert
ence. Mr.. McQuesten, who is called "the
father of Alaska" after an experiences
of years upon the trail. in the camp, and
In the use of every kind of supply, says:
1--WE find in Alaska that the Importance
Of a proper kind of baking powder oan-

can of bad baking powder is almost
helpless in Alaska. We have tried alr
sorts, and have been obliged to settle
down to use nothing but Royal. It
is stronger, and carries further, but.
above all things, it is the only powder
that will endure the severe climatic
changes of the Arctic region"
1t is for the same reasons that the q.
s. Government in it's relief expeditions,
and Peary, the famous Arctic traveller,
have carried the Royal Baking Powder
exclusively.
The Royal Baking Powder will not

procure his supplies before leaving, he
should resist every attempt of the out

other brands of baking powder, for they
will spoil and prove the cause of great
disappointment and trouble.
