WAR "REMINISCENCES.
GOLD ROSEY."
TzRs Are Sounded for the Inst Of
the Unions Great War
Generals.

An immense number of veterans in
the west will hear with regret of the
death of Gen. W. S. Rosecrans, the last
of the union commanders at the great
battles of the war. Rosecrans was pop
ular with his troops, though asa mill
tary man falling short of the first rank
of leaders. Yet he was good organizer
of armies and inspired them with high
degree of confidence. 1t may be said
OF him, with sincere esteem, that he
served his country faithfully. He was a
man of animated appearance, brisk in
his ways, approachable and good-hu-
mOred, and the nickname given him by
his soldiers expressed an admiring
seuse of fellowship. BY nature Rose
Grams was military optimist, and this
was his main defect as commander.
1t happened that in the two important
battles of Stones river and Chicka-
mauga he was pitted against a deeper
tactician than himself, though a far
less popular general. The saturninc
Bragg was a dangerous antagonist for
a man of Rosecrans' characteristics,
and yet it must be remarked that their

THE coLoNEL's war STORY.
How Jim Adkins FaT-- Gave Hin
Away and Got --t,u1
~ + Back Again. p"

Talking about war times" said the
old colonel, did any of you ever hear
the story of Jim Adkins"
NO"
Il well, I'm surprised. Everybody in
the settlement knew him. Jim was a
no-'count sort of fellow, and the old
nan was anxious to get rid of him;
so, when the war broke out and they
were, looking around for men, the old
man gave him away"
"'Gave him away""
"Yes. jim was in the hay loft, and
they were about to leave without him
when the old man winked and pointed
TO the barn.
THAT was enough; and they got
him, and marched him to the front.
THE old man was sorry, after Jim
was gone, and his conscience hurt him
bad. But he hoped for the best, until
one day he got message that told him
that jim had been killed and buried
on the battlefield.
Then he packed his grip and started
right off to bring Jim's body home, il
possible; for the grief-stricken mother
would have nothing else, and made life
miserable for him with her reproaches.
''He went to Virginia, and was there
informed that it would be impossible
to remove the body. So he stood over
the spot where it was buried and wept
for three days. Then he went sadly
home.
And 10 and behold! The first man
he met as he neared his home was Jim
safe, sound and right side up with
care
1T was some time before the old man
could say word; but when he found it
was really Jim-in flesh and blood
that they had got him mixed up with an
other Adkins, and he hadn't been killed
at all, the old man was hot! He slow
ly divested himself of his coat; then
rolled up his sleeves, and made for him!
1t was the liveliest scrap you ever saw
the old man on top, and the two of
'em wallowing in the dust!
"It took the old lady and the three
girls and two stout niggers to pull the
old man off.
He never did explain why he did it,
and Jim didn't ask any questions. But
the next morning he told his mother
that while his furlough wasn't out,
still he knew his country needed him,
and he couldn't stand to stay at home
under those circumstances. So he left
his blessing for the old man and took
the first train for the front" Frank
Stanton, in Atlanta Constitution.

conflicts were so near drawn that they
led TO the vitual retirement of both
from high command.
Rosccrans formed his lines at Stones
river in way to impress the strength
OF his right wing upon Bragg. The con-
fetlerate leader penetrated the design of
campfres where there were no troops,
ard attacked that wing with a momen-
Itum that rolled it up, exposing the
union army to such serious danger that
Eosecrans would have retreated during
the night but for the advice of
Thomas. 1t is true that Bragg fell back
In the end, but the battle was incon-
elusive. In evacuating Chattanooga
Bragg laid one of the finest tactical
traps of the whole war. He encouraged
,Rosecrlns to think that the confederate
army was dwindling remnant. The
ruse succeeded. Rosecrans divided his
army and sent it in pursuit, scattering
1t for 50 miles in the mountains. Then
Bragg suddenly drew heavy reinforce
lments from Lee and from the west, and
turned upon the over confident pursuers
with over 10000 men against the union
5000. Again Bragg had gauged his an
tagODist Such was the battle of Chick
a.namgn, the second great battle of the
war, and one of the most critical for the
union army.
Whose who saw Rosecrans at Chicka-
mauga realized that he was physically
exhausted. The strain of getting his
corps together to fghtin an unexpected
place and against a superior force wore
hiDl out before the first shots were
tffTrSi- lie left the field before the battle
ended, and, more dead than alive, had
to be lifted from his horse. Though
Chattanooga was held, it was nearly at
thecOst Of starvation. When Grant went
70 Chattanooga Rosecrans explained to
him the movements by which the hun
jgry soldiers might be supplied, and
Grant dryly remarked that he won
'dercd why Rosecrans had not adopted
his own suggestions In effect Rose
chans' military career ended with
Chickamauga, He had run too close to
the edge of fearful disaster to be
trusted again at the head of large
army. He was honored in official life
after the war and deserved we'll of his
fellow countrymen, for his patriotic
zeal was without flaw. His death at
the age of rs closes the union list of
great battle commanders, and marks
another stage in the vanishing of the
hosts of the civil war.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

A FAMOUS JACK TAR.

Cadet William Stanhope Case, of the
United States naval academy at An
napolis, has furnished the Inter Ocean
with a picture which is of historical
and timely interest.
The portrait is that of Quartermaster
Thomas Knowles, U. S. N, the man who
gained worldwide fame by lashing Ad-
miral Farragut in the rigging of the
flagship Hartford at the battle of Mo-
bile bay August 5, 1864. Knowles died
a year ago, and in his death the Ameri-

Jack tars-men who fought under
Uncle Sans colors because they loved
their native land and its institutions,

A Trying War ExpcrIcnce.

l heard the late Gen. John C.. Stark
weather tell of trying experience a
signalman had at the battle of Chick
amauga. he was stationed nearly at
the top Of high tree. The union line
ut that point was suddenly driven back,
quickly followed by the victorious and
yelling confederates. They did not dis
cover the signalman. When they had
passed he sgnaled report to the COM
mander of what had happened and
asked for orders. Remain where yo-
are until dark, and then try to get into
our lines" was the answer When it
was dark he slid out of the tree and
wandered about until morning, when
he brought up near Gen. Thomas head
quarters. While the signal service was
pleasant and dignified when there was
no fighting, it was as hazardous and at
times more so than any other branch

INTERVENTION PROSPECTS.
The Cabinet in Favor Of Stopping the
Warfare of Spain on Cuba.

The sentiment of the cabinet is drift
ing toward intervention in Cuba and
the hope of ending the war by media
ton is diminishing. The cabinet yes
terday considered the next beat step.
Recognition of beligerency was con-
sidered, but met with strong opposi-
ton on the ground that if the govern
ment is to act it should administer a
stronger remedy.
The plan favored by the cabinet is
to declare that the war must stop
within a certain period, give Spain a
chance to agree to mediation and upon
her failure to do so step in with force.
Details of the decisive step have not
been decided upon, as the Willingness
OF the Sagasta administration to make
any concession that Spanish sentiment
will tolerate prompts the impression
that Spain will not treat Intervention
az an act of raj

SILoAM SPRINGS, Mo-, March 20.-
Dear Sir and Friend. Isee from your
paper that You received the papers I
sent you. The papers we're forwarded
to me from Pomona. You notice lam
located at the above place ever since
I left Kansas City. 1t is now five
years.
Well, Bob, / have been trying to
wean myself from home, Mexico, for
a long time, and, reading your paper,
column after column, I see so few
names of my old friends that 1t has
become q stranger to me, though /
was glad to see your much appreciated
paper once more.
Well, 1 guess I had better tell you
something of our gold prospects.
May be- it will interest you more. The
find has astonished the most practical
experts in the mineral lines. The
wealth has been walked over for years
in this country, but at last it has been
discovered and in quantities that the
most practical experts a hardly
believe it. I had some assaying done
and some of my friends hooted at the
idea of there being any gold and silver
In Missouri. / think old Missouri bids
fair to. be one of the richest states in
the union and we have the riches in
and around our little town, Sloan
Springs, Howell county, Mo. We
have a fine summer resort, fine park,
bath house with modern conveniences,
etc. But I fear it will all be upturned,
but I hope it will not be, for there is
enough gold and silver here without
destroying the beautiful natural park,
which has been so much appreciated
by invalids and health seekers, who
have been restored here.
Well, my mind is running somewhat
on the gold part of this and I want to
say in conclusion that I have been
waiting and working for the develop
ment of this for -four years and think
I am equal to the occasion. NowI am
not writing for print, but to let you
know what is going on down hero.
Land is selling every day. There
