A Soldiers Escape.
Erom the Democrat.Nessa0e, M Sterling. III.

When Richmond had fallen and the great
commanders had met beneath the historic
apple tree at Appomattox, the SD Penn
sylvania Volunteers, prematureiy aged, clad
In tatters and rags, broken in body but OF
dauntless spirit, swung into line for the last
"grand review and then quietly marched
away to begin life's fray anew. Rebel shot
and shell, the dread miasma of the southern
swamp, sleepless nights and wearisome days
had depleted their ranks until only hand
full remained. Among the number Asa Rob-
inson came back to the old home IN Mt.
Sterling, Ills; that he had left at the call to
arms four years previous. He went away in
the first flush of vigorous manhood; he came
back ghost of the self that answered to
President Lincolns call for" 800 900 more"
With his return 10 the old homestead
there came to him the knowledge that war
with him was only begun; that he must
fight the battle with disease to the end of his
days; that the glare of southern sun and
the calling fire of a southern soldiery were
rs nothing compared to the onslaught of an
enemy that fought under cover and disre-
garded all the rules of civilized warfare.
Sciatic rheumatism fastened its fangs upon
him. incapacitating him for manual labor and
rendering him, much of the time, physically
as helpless as an infant. The years passed
by, but his sufferings, with increasing age,
were increased rather than diminished. He
spent a small fortune for Doctors medicine,
praying for even temporary relief, but it did
not come.
To-day he is an alert, active man Of fifty
FIVE years. His rheumatic pains have de-
parted, and while there are traces of his
years of suffering in his face he walks with
the soldierly bearing and springy step of a
healthy young man.
To the Democrat Message reporter he talked
freely about his case. Mr.. Robinson is man
of much more than average education and
intelligence. Where he is known in Brown
County his word is as acceptable as the bond
of the average man. and there is no question
but that in his case an almost miraculous cure

WAR INVESTIGATORS MEET.
And Fire q Multiplicity of Questions Mt
Various Officials.

Washington, Sept. 2S.-There were no
questions Of special Importance before
The cabinet meeting yesterday. The work
of the war investigation commission
was informally discussed, all of the
members heartily approving the presi-
dents address to the commissioners last
Saturday. in which he charged them
with the duty of making the inquiry
searching and exhaustive and pledged
them his assistance in procuring evil
dence from all official sources. The
commission met again yesterday and
at the close of its session gave out a
number of documents, including the re-
quest Of Secretary Alger for an inves-
tigation, a brief address to the public
in the shape of resolution, a letter
from Chairman Dodge to the secretary
Of war, inclosing a list of inquiries to
the secretary and to the heads of the
various divisions of the war depart
ment, calling for specific information
bearing upon the conduct of the war.
With the letter to the secretary of
war were Enclosed questions indicating
the character of information desired at
the hands of the surgeon general, the
quartermaster general, the subsistence
department, the ordnance department
and the adjutant general. The Questions
cover everything connected with the
raising, equipping transportation, feed
ing, medical attention and camp-in
fact all phases of military management,
and indicated a purpose on the part of
the commission to dig up anything
wrong, If there was anything of that
kind
All persons who have any complaints
to make against any part Of the mill
tary service are requested to put the
| same in writing and forward the COM
plant to the commission as soon as
possible. 1t is not expected that the
commission will make much progress
until returns begin to come in from the
inquiries sent out. Later committees
will be appointed to take testimony in
different places in the country.

VESSELMEN MAY WIN.
Flour shippers Are Now Showing Signs of
Weakening.

West Superior, Wis, Sept. 2S.-Indica-
tions are that vesselmen will win out
in their contest with flour shippers. The
time for storing flour in Minneapolis
has expired and shippers have already
shown a weakening. Sept. the West
ern Transit, Union Transit, Anchor and
Northern Steamship lines made the rate
on flour going down the lake cents
higher. The shippers naturally did not
agree to this and as the 500 line cut
ship flour eastward by rail as much -
possible. AS result the first two weeks
or more in September were very dull
at the flour sheds.
The shippers found the roads unable
to care for their entire business, how
ever, and their overflow was necessar-
lily sent to Superior for shipment down
the lakes. The overflow has now mate
rally increased and is coming steadily
though not yet up to the previous rush
standard. The increase in -four cargoes
is welcomed by all classes of freight
boats, as it means more business all
around The merchandise boats which
had been carrying -four before the quiet
spell turned to wheat, or almost any
kind Of freight in order to secure car
goes. Three boats have gone out in
the last few days with $4,000 barrels OF
flour and package freight boats have
less difficulty now in procuring freight
age.

Last Express Robbery.

Last Express Robbery.
Kansas City, Sept. 26.-Chief Of Police
Hayes last night received telephone
message from st. Joseph that three
men suspected of completely in the rob-
berry of the Missouri Pacific train out of
Kansas City on Friday night had been
arrested in that city. Their names were
given as John Ryan, James McIleer
and John Morgan. and II is alleged that
they had in their possession 500 In
mutilated greenbacks. The explosion
that wrecked the baggage car and the
Pacific Express company's two safes is
believed to have mutilated, If not
destroyed. any valuables contained in
the safes.
II is said that an express company
money bag, such as the companies use
In transmitting money, was also found
in McIleer's possession. The local po-
lice profess to believe that Ryan is a
relative Of Bill Ryan, a Kansas City
man whose name has been linked with
that Of the notorious John Ken
nedy in former train robberies around
Kansas City. 1t was stated freely yes
terday that the robbers haul Friday
had netted between $4,000 and 500, 900,
but the express officials still insist that
their loss will amount to no more than
81, 900, II that much.

Denver, Sept. 2S.-The court martial
Of Rev. Joseph p. Mcintyre on the
charge of scandalizing the navy in a
lecture delivered in Denver Aug. s, was
resumed yesterday. Miss Minnie j.
Reynolds, who reported the lecture for
the Rocky Mountain News, was called
to verify the report published and from
which the extracts contained in the
charges against Chaplain Mcintyre
were taken. She fully corroborated the
report she had written, and which was
introduced as testimony. Cross exam
ination failed to shake her testimony
asserting that he did make the state
ments enumerated in these dispatches
yesterday. She also testified that
Chaplain Mcintyre declared that the
contracts for all the eastern built bat
tleships were secured through political
pulls, and hence the Oregon, which was
built in the west, was the only one hon.
estly built.
Paul w. Beck, who reported the lee
sure for the Denver Times, was next
called. He corroborated the testimony
Of Miss Reynolds regarding the charges
against the prisoner He also corro-
borated the report published in the
Rocky Mountain News, though he de-
clared Chaplain McIntyre's statements
were much stronger than those given
therein.

Days Which Will He OF General Interest
TO Michigan People.
Niles. Mich, Sept. 23.-The village Of
Constantine put on its holiday attire
and on his arrival there General Will
lam r. Shafter. the hero Of Santiago,
was accorded magnificent reception.
Imposing evergreen arches bearing the
words Welcome. Shafter," were built
at the intersections of the streets, and
residences and business houses dis
played the national emblem In great
profusion.
General Skaters visit to Constantine
was to attend the annual reunion Of his
old regiment, the Nineteenth Michigan
infantry. The prospect Of meeting their
old officer enthused the men, and every
survivor of the regiment was present
besides thousands of other people anx-
ious to see the distinguished guest.
General Shafter was scheduled to ar
rive in the morning, and his appear
ance was awaited with great interest.
When he arrived at night his old regi-
ment formed in line. and amid the
cheering of the great multitude, escort
ed him to the home of his old friend,
Colonel Frank D. Baldwin Of the Nine
teenth.
General Shafter went to the front
thirty-six years ago as colonel of the
Nineteenth infantry. The meeting be-
tween the general and the gray-haired
men, who, as boys, followed him on the
battlefield, was very affecting, some of
the old veterans crying for joy. An
interesting camp fire was held and Cen
eral Shafter made a speech to his old
comrades. The reunion will continue
another day, and the general will be
the central figure. General Shafter was
born at Galesburg, few miles from
Constantine. and he will probably visit
his birthplace before leaving Michigan.
