LIE WINS A BATTLE.
WELL-KNOWN GUEST OF IN
DIANA MINERAL SPRINGS
HOTEL THE PROUD LIAR.
Capt. HI. s. Cole Convinced the Advance
Should Be Made Despite Gen. Gregg's
Order-He Runs the Risk of Court
Martial and Disgrace, But Victory


Indiana Mineral Springs, Ind, April H.
Especial Correspondence)- Warlike dis
patches in the morning newspapers stirred
upageneral discussion among a half score OF
gentlemen in a corner of the smoking room
of the Indiana Mineral Springs Hotel today.
Several veterans of the civil war who have
been regaining health by means of the
Magno Mud Baths and L4ithia Water here
took lively interest in the discussion.
Many interesting stories of the late con-
flict we're told.
I'm the campaign before Richmond in
the last months of the war;" said Capt. H.
s. Cole, Of Fergus Falls, Mimi, II was
guilty of a distortion of an order that, had
the battle which it caused been defeat for
us, would have had sad results for me;
fortunately the falsehood told rescued us
from perilous position and we won a
victory.''
Capt. Coles regiment was the famous
First Maine Cavalry which by special
order of the War Department. has seven
more battles on its colors than any other
carried by any regiment in the Union
army. The First Maine also has the record
of having turned more OF its troopers into
preachers at the close of hostilities than
any other regiment of the northern army,
governors of the Pine Tree state since 1865
were at the front with the First Maine.
But it was while he was on the staff of Gen.
Chas. F. Smith, who commanded brigade
OF the Second Cavalry corps, the head of
which was Gen. D. McGregg, one Of the
best cavalry captains in the north or south
that the incident happened.
"Our brigade was in a desperate condi-
tion," said Capt. Cole, "when Gen. Smith
sent me to ask Gen. McGregg for reinforce
ments. l found the Pennsylvania fighters
and delivered my message. He thought
fully stroked his beard.
"'Give my compliments to Gen. Smith,
he said, and tell him he can't have a
reinforcement. It was the first time
ever heard Gen. McGregg swear, and was
convinced that it was due to the serious
condition Of his command. I was also con-
WINGED that our brigade should fight its
way out, SO when galloped up to Gen.
Smith determined to somewhat change
his superior's orders.
sew hat success 2 he asked. Gen.
McGregg can't send any re-inforcements,
and desires you to attack I said. He was
surprised, but the word was given. In
spired by our peril we routed the enemy
and gained safe place.
"Some time afterward I told Gen. Smith
what had DONE"
What happened?" asked one of the
other veterans.
Drinks on the general" said the man
from Minnesota, who added that with a
few more Magno Mud Baths he would be
in fit condition to take hand in the i'm
pending war with Spain.

Her Artless Questions.


Rev. Mr.. Thirdly, who is somewhat
advanced in years, was making a pas

was entertaining him until her parents
should descend to the parlor.
"You haven't much hair on your
head, Dr.. Thirdly" remarked the little
girl.
''Not much, Frances" replied the
clergyman, genially.
"How do you like being bald?'
II prefer it that way, Frances. All
smart men are bald-headed.'

A fresh egg is known by the dull ap-
pearance of its shell; bad egg looks
glossy. Drop an egg into water; if it
sinks quickly and remains at the bot
tom it is probably fresh, if it stands on
end it is doubtful, and if it floats it Is
quite bad. The light test is applied
by placing the egg in or in front of a
paper tube and holding it up to a
candle. If, on looking through it, the
yolk appears round and the white sur
rounding it is clear, the chances are
that the egg is fresh.

Deafness Cur not Be Cured


By local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness. and that
is by CONSTITUTE >nal remedies. Deafness
is caused by an inf1amed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inaamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, deafness
is the result, and unless the inflamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to it's normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nlnc cases out
Of ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.

stances. The man that wants to sup

some breed that is not distinctly an
