"reminiscences of the Civil War

William c. Smith of st. Louis writing
to the st. Louis GIobe-Democrat. recalls
the following interesting story, in which
Brigadier General J. K. Hudson fig

THE difficulty of carrying mail to and
from Cuba during the blockade at Ha-
vana recalls an incident that occurred
in this state during the civil war that
was perhaps as skilIful a piece of work
of its kind as was ever accomplished in
the army of the west.
1T is a part of the civil war history
that several regiments of Kansas troops
saw service during all the four years
of the war in Missouri and Arkansas,
as a part of the army of the frontier.
At different times these regiments were
encamped near the towns of Springfield,
ROlla, etc, and, as soldiers will the

occasion offered. To be sure, the Mis-

WHISKY MADE HIM FOOLISH.
Aged Veteran Becomes FamiIiarWith
Street Car Passenger.

Leavenworth, Sept. 3-There is an
old veteran at the home who in future
will be very shy of insulting ladies in
street car when their husbands are
around.
One of them got on a car to go to the
nome yesterday and sat in the same
seat with a lady and her husband, on
the trailer The old veteran got very
familiar and commenced to pat the lady
on the back and talking very insulting
ly.
Her husband demonstrated with the
veteran but he was too drunk to have
any judgment and persisted in patting
her back. The husband got up and
slapped the veteran full in the face and
then put him off the car
Another case happened yesterday
morning by which another old veteran
learned a lesson which he will not soon
forget. He got on a car at the home
to come to town and in the same car
was woman who lives in the KIon-
dixie The man sat down in the next
seat and commenced talking with her
After a short conversation it was
noticed by the other passengers that
the veteran was getting very confiden-
tial. All at once the woman's face got
red and she turned around and slapped
the veteran so hard in the face that he
fell from the seat. The conductor saw
the racket and went in and put the old
veteran out and forced him to walk
the rest of the way to town.

DID NOT SPARE THE TREE.
Shade Under Which Toral Surrender
ed Cut Down by Relic Hunters.

Wellington, Sept. 3.-John Glenn of
this city has received from Harry Rev,
one of the Wellington boys with the
regular army before Santiago, a relic
of that memorable campaign in the
form of a block of wood taken from the
tree under which General Toral, the
Spanish commander, surrendered to
General Shafter, and under which Lieu
tenant Hobson and his men were ex-
changed for Spanish prisoners.
The block of wood is about 312 inches
long by IA inches wide, and a quarter
of an inch in thickness. Upon each
side is written with an indeIibIe blue
pencil, these words:
From the tree under which Santiago
de Cuba surrendered, July II, 1898, and
Lieutenant Hobson exchanged. Harry
A. Rev to John A. Glenn"
The name of the wood is not known
to Mr.. Glenn, nothing being said in the
letter about it. 1t is different from any
kind in this country. 1t is porous like
punk. Mr.. Glenn prizes the relic very
highly.

Bismarck was one day in company
where among other things the subject
of how much it cost to gain experience
in life cropped up. He kept silent for

Those who were near Mrs. Sampson
on board the Mutual during the parade
in New York did not know until hours
after what a great strain she was under
as she waited for her husband, the ad-
miral. Mrs. Sampson said that no one
would ever know what a shock it was to
her to see him so changed, looking
twenty years older and so haggard, and
his eyelids dropping over his eyes, as
if he had little interest left in anything,
From his ordinarily spare figure thirty
pounds had been lost.
John L Blair. the New Jersey million
aire, who has just celebrated his ninety
sixth birthday, has perhaps been as

this country as any other man. He
has built railroads in Iowa, Wisconsin,
Kansas, Nebraska, the DakOtaS, Mis-
souri, and Texas, organized the railroad
system of the first named state, and
built the first line from the Mississippi
to the Missouri across it, subsequently
constructing over 1000 miles in that
state and Nebraska. He was one of
the original directors of the Union Pa
cific and at one time was a director in
sixteen other roads and president of
three, being a controlling owner in sew
eral.

to that particular part Of the world.
General COppinger is the only United

FAIR SEX FLATTER HIM.
Author and Wit Says Attentions Are
Taking His Breath

Long Branch, N. J., Sept. S.-Israel
Zangwill, author, wit, cynic, scholar, is
enjoying a luxurious and semi-quiet
life at Hollywood. He is the guest of
Daniel Guggenheim, of New York, at
the latter's cottage on Cedar avenue.
Mr.. ZangwiH spends much of his time
riding, bicycling and bathing. He has
been the guest of Guggenheim family
since Saturday night and has been be-
sieged with callers.
With becoming modesty, he said that
the ladies showered a deal of attention
upon him. But, fortunately" he ad-
ded, 'I have written only in one album
since my arrival, and that is the only
request of that character have had.
Il have long had an inclination to
visit America. My primary motive was
to make tour of observation and study
the customs and manners of the Amer
lean people.

swim about in the surf and buffet the

found your Atlantic water so delightful
I was puzzled to understand why the
beach was preferred to the water. But
I have no doubt there is method in this
seeming madness.
When questioned as to his intention
of writing a book on America upon re-
turning home, he smiled and said:

Ga1ena Woman Receivers From a
Very Serious Accident.

Galena, Sept. 3.-Mrs. Chas. Freeman,
who was so seriously injured in a run
away at Galena, three weeks ago, Thurs
day last and whom everybody thought
could not possibly recover from the
effect of the injuries received, was able
to be up town today in a buggy with
her husband, and riding behind the
same horse that was the cause of the
accident, and apparently suffering no
convenience therefrom. The recovery
of Mrs Freeman after having her skull
split open and losing a goodly portion
of brain matter, is almost beyond the
ken of man.

Her sister, Nellie, heard her screams,
and coming with pail of water finish
ed the work. Her clothing was de-

colored man did, telling where he ate

from being injured in a runaway acct
