facts and data that warrant US in saying
that prominent member of the Fremont ex-
petitions is and has been living here in Pu-
laski, n Y, for a number of years. A few
leading points in the history of this interest
ing parsonage and his connection with the
expeditions in question are as follows:
John Brockman German left the Prus-
sian army without permission, and came to
America.
When Fremont was forming his first expe-
dition, in the Winter and Spring of 1912,
Brockman passed an examination at Gen
Wool's Headquarters in New York City as
a Typographical engineer Surprising that he
might be taken back TO his own country for
desertiOn, he was sworn into the United
States service under an assumed name.
Fremont, in his report of the first expedi-
ton, says, " l selected an educated young
German, Charles Preuss, as my assistant, -
and in this he refers to the party we have
mentioned, John Brockman, whom we will
for the present call Preuss.
The ex,, iition started from St Louis,
Mo-, about May 10. 1912, and reached Pixies
Peak Aug. Is. Here young Preuss tied q
flag to ramrod and placed it upon the high
est point OF the mountain.
The expedition returned to ST. Louis,
where Preuss was employed through the
Winter making out reports of the surveys
they had made.
In the Spring Of 1S43, when Fremont fitted
out another expedition, Pruess was continued
as his assistant. This time they went through
to the Columbia River and Fort Vancouver,
returning through California and again over
the mountains back to st. Louis.
Their trip over the mountains this time
was in the dead of Winter. and much suffer
Ing was endured. In his report Fremont
speaks Of pruess many times, and in one in
stance Of his being lost for several days.
Our German friend enjoys explaining and
relating the numerous interesting features of
these expeditions, and although he never
gained very good use of the English Ian
guage, his accounts OF the ups and downs of
his life are very entertaining.
Preuss was with Fremont on a third ex-
petition, being with him in California dur
ing the Mexican war. And while there he
participated with Fremont in the capture OF
fort from the Mexicans at Monterey lie
was discharged and paid off at San Diego,
Cal, by Commodore Stockton in 1S4S.
At the close Of his service, Preuss dropped
his assumed name and again took up his
right one, John Brockman.
As gold was discovered in California about
that time, Brockman remained in that sec
tiun, working in the mines until 1859 He
was well acquainted with Kit Carson, Max
well. Cody, and most Of the mountain men
of those days.
When he left the mines he went to Mil
waukee, Wis, overland, and finally to New
York City, where, in 1861, he enlisted in the
| 41st y. Y, and Was afterwards made Orderly.
Sergeant of Co. b, that regiment.
Broclman was wounded several times dur
ing his service, one wound being from q
bayonet At Gettysburg a bullet passed
through his body. He was mustered out
with his regiment at the end of three years
service.

How a Woman Made Money in 1897.

Having read numerous accounts of persons
making money easily, prompts me to give
my experience. During the past few years
I have tried selling various specialties, Dish
Washers being included. but usually met
with failure until | tried the Imperial Dish
Washer. Since taking up this work have
made from 800 to $3.50 per month, and only
worked part of the time.
1t requires little or no ability to sell the
Imperial Dish Washer as it is only necessary
to show it in operation to make sales. When
the housekeeper once sees it wash, dry and
polish the dishes in 3 minutes without the
operator wetting her hands, it requires little
or no argument to make sale.
If any of your readers desire a profitable
and genteel employment l would strongly
recommend the business of selling these Dish
Washers. Ladies can do the work as well az
men. No experience is necessary.
You can secure full particulars and get q
start in the business by writing to the I'M
perial Dish Washer Co., st. Louis, Missouri.

he turned complete somerset. While stag

again, second bullet tore through both

the last ball shattered this gallant brute

We were escorted back to camp by our
admiring Venezuelans, having established
sure claims upon their respect in the only
way they could understand. 1t was a

PARTIAL PROSPECTUS.
Some Features of The
National Tribune, 1898.

Thousands of new readers every week make
it proper to again call attention to some of
the good things in our literary locker.
Awake and imbued with the spirit of this
enterprising age, we have stopped at nothing
in the way of trouble and expense to secure
attractions.
Our object is to enlist the largest army of
readers marshaled under the flag of any pub
Usher in America.
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE is a current
review of the great questions which occupy
mems thoughts from week to week. The in
terests of the Nation are paramount, and
therefore such important matters as the Cuban
situation, Hawaiian annexation, British conf
plications, and Alaskan gold discoveries are
treated in a cyclopedic manner as they
arise. New pension rulings of great import
ance appear as fast as issued, and frequently
exclusively in our columns. The great ques-
tons before Congress and subjects dominat-
ing the attention of the executive branch of
the Government also find full and safe exposi-
ton here.
With all these features THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE is q pictorial paper, illustrated as
well rs any monthly magazine. We are now
publishing
