A NOTED coNFEDERATE.
Capt. Dick Collins, Who Captured
"A GunbOat with land Force.


"a GunbOat with n Land Force.
From the St. Louis Republic
Capt. Dick Collins of Piedmont, Mo-, is
registered at the Laclede Hotel He is one
Of the best known men in the state, and
is recognized as one of the hardest fighters
that ever marched and fought for the Con-
federate cause. lie says that some time
ago he rendered his services to the gov-
eminent In case Of war, and that he is in
the city now that he may be in closer
touch with the government officials than
he can be in his Wayne county nome.
Capt. Collins is one Of the characters
Of the late war, and bears the distnctfo
OF being the only man in charge Of a land
force that captured a gunboat At the
time this happened Capt. Collins was in
command Of a battery under Gen. Joseph
Shelby near Helena, Ark. One dark
night one Of Shelbg's scouts brought IN
word that a Federal gunboat was tied p
close 10 the bank of the river, a short
distance above Helena, and II was decided
10 attempt its capture.
This difficult task was assigned to Capt
Collins and, taking six twelve-pound aeld
pieces, he started for the place. When
quite a distance off the wheels Of the field
pieces were muffied with bla,htets, so as
to attract no attention by the noise CT
them being pulled over the cough ground.
The cannons were pulled up on the bank
by hand and placed In a position above
the gunboat, with their muzzles aimed d.
rectly at il. Everything in readiness, they
waited for daylight to make their aim
surer.
When the first gray streaks Of dawn ap-
peared In the East Capt Collins gave the
order to fire. and the six twelve-pounders
poured out death and destruction TO the
gunboat and its sleeping crew. Those. on
board the boat who were not injured by
the valley from the artillery rushed on
fire from the guns Of the sharpshooters.
The result was that most Of the crew were
killed or wounded, and the capture OF the
gunboat was effected with ease.

Alaska as il Is.
LABIsH.


Mr.. EDIToR:-If l need any apology
for writing this article for your paper
il shall be that l wish to warn honest
working people who may be thinking
OF following the thousands who have
already gone to that over crowded
country, Alaska.
The hardships Of the steerage pas
senger begins when he leaves the
docks.
To man who is leaving comfort
able home the change is repulsive, un-
bearable. The steamship companies
are paid at the rate of about s.. day
to carry and feed sIeerage passengers.
They give a very disagreeable place
to sleep, with only a atraw mattress
on bunk, ard packed 10 like stock in
a car. When they all get seasick,
the pitch and confusion is beyond
description. They get but very little
to eat and it is served about as re-
spectacle as farmer would serve his
hogs. 1t costs the company about 10
cents a day per head to feed them.
When they reach Skagway or Dyea
they are very much surprised to find it
very cold Many Of them are dressed IN
light clothing for they have been told
that the weather was no colder than
In Oregon.
They get off on the dack at Skag-
way or the lighter for Dyea and the
north wind strikes them, blowing a
gale, with the thermometer at IL or 10
degree below zero. 1t simply para
lyzes them, many freeze their hands
and faces before they reach the shell
ter OF the town. 1t is impossible to
give any idea Of tenting in that
climate at this season of the year,
There was, when ! left Skagway, fifty
men for every job, and while return
ing on the steamship OregOn-its last
trip-we met seventeen ships going in,
at least fourteen Of them loaded with
people, one half Of them going to
Skagway and Dyea to tiLd work! /
found hundreds of good honest men,
many from Oregon, without work and
no money to get home. These two
towns are mostly made up of tents
and shanties and there is no steady
employment for carpenters. The peO-
Pile are dying hy the dozen, seven died
with spinal meningitis the day before
the Oregon sailed, many are freezing
to death. / saw an advertisement
recently in a prominent daily paper
for men to go to Skagway and work
on the railroad, the wages 81 per day,
with board at 81 per day. There is no
railroad being built at Skagway, nor
anywhere else up there, and laboring
men are getting but $3.50 per day aud
only little work at that, when the
weather gets warmer so that men can
work the wages will be greatly re-
duced.
Keep away from Alaska. 1t IS no
place for white man, even the In
dians will not live at Skagway.

death turns aside and whose frstbo es-
