Thrilling Incident of Night Attack.
The following incident Of the great
civil war was related by the late Presi-
dent r. B. Hayes while en- route from
Chicago to Indianapolis in the fall of
1870:
II have frequently been asked" said
Gen. Hayes, ''to tell the most thrilling
experience that occurred to me during
the four years in the volunteer army.
1t was in 1864 that the Army of West
Virginia tried to capture Lynchburg,
Va, but Gen. Lee rapidly sent heavy
force to drive us back, and it was
thought best to fall back to the Kama
wha Valley, where food and clothing
could be had, and then go by the rail
ways to Winchester again.
Gen. Jubal Early's army was press
ing our forces at every point, and |
was ordered by Gen. George Crook,
who commanded the division to check
the enemy until our wagon trains and
artillery could get out of the way. A
gap was chosen in the mountains, two
or three regiments were ordered to
build bar-icade across the road in the
gap one regiment was sent up the
mountain on the right and another on
the left of the gap to protect the TANKS;
these regiments selected were accurate
in firing as rifiemen could be.
1T was dark by the time all these
preparations could be made; Gen.
Crook was careful to give his instruc-
ton that the point must be held until
the artillery and long wagon trains
were beyond the reach of Early. Dark
ness, stiffness and the mountains en-
veloped us. Finally an order came to
march. to follow the army. Gen. Rus
sell Hastings, my aid, was sent up the
mountain on one side to direct the regi-
ment to come down and take the pike in
the rear of the brigade and march rap
idly after the artillery.
Another of my staff, Maj. William
Mckinley (the PresidenD was ordered
to go up the mountain on the other side
and direct the regiment to come down
carefully and take the road in the rear
of the breastWorks. The duty was so
perilous and of such great Importance
that the instructions We're repeatedly
given with the greatest care not to
come down the mountain in front of
the barricade. as in the darkness our
men would fire into them. Col. Devol,
who commanded the men behind the
sbreastworks, fully understood the situ-
alton. 1t seemed hours while We were
waiting for the regiments to come down
the mountain
Il was walking from my horse to the
line of men lying down with guns rest
ing across the pike. All at once the
clear, ringing command of Col. Devol
was heard, Ready! Aimr A thousand
thoughts rushed upon me! Our men
were coming down the mountain, and
in the darkness were marching in front
of the barricade. l tried to cry out to
Col Devol: They are cur IN en-don't
fire. brushed toward him and the line
ready to grab him and the men who
were ready to fire. My soul was on
fire. Twas too choked to cry out: Our
men! Our men! Don't fire! Don't
fire! but was too late. Devol gave
'the order tFirer and one vast volley Of

Found Dead in Woods.

of Racine County since 1912, was found
dead in the woods ON his farm in the town
Of Caledonia. Mr.. Thurman left his home
at II Q. m. and a short time afterwards

coroner went out to the scene and took
charge Ct the body. The probable cause
of death was heart failure.

Law Holds Beyond the State.

Attorney General Hicks has given an
opinion on the anti-pass law, at the re-
quest Of State Railway Commissioner
Rice, in which he holds that no State off,
Ger can accept free transportation from
any railroad outside the State. The opin-
ion takes the ground that the criminal
jurisdiction of the State reaches outside
the State and can punish any officer who
rides free on a railroad outside the State.

Two Bullets Missed Him.

A son Of Herman Barr, residing on a
farm two miles south of Neenah, was
awakened by the report of rifle, and a
bullet tore through the framework Of his
bed. He jumped up and another shot was
fired from the outside, the bullet passing
between his arm and side without injur-
ing him. The would-be assassin fed, but
was recognized as a man intoxicated.

Stubborn Juror Is Stricken.

J. L. Robinson, one Of the jurors in the
suit Of William Ryan against the La
Crosse City Railway Company for $4,000
damages, was stricken with paralysis
while the case was in the hands of the
jury. A peculiar circumstance is that the
jury stood eleven to one for the plaintiff
at the time of the stroke, and Robinson
was the man holding out for the defend
ant. The court has declared it mistrial.

The foregoing figures embrace farm
mortgages only. The annual amount
of farm mortgages filed exceeded the
amount released by more than So, 0OO,
600 during the years 1892, 1893, 1894
and 1895. During 1896 the tide turned
so that during the three years ending
with 1898, $14,OOO,OOO more of mort
cages were paid off than were filed.
The same report shows that there Is
much more money in the banks now
than ever before, and that those Dor
rowing money on farm mortgages get
it at much lower rate of interest.
OF all the men in the country who
have been benefited by the defeat OF
Mr.. Bryan in 1885, the farmers as a
whole have had the largest share. The
in the West generally, gave Mr.. Bryan
and 16-to-1 the most cordial support
because many of them were deceived
by his fallacies. The elections Of 1871
showed a reaction in the agricultural
portions of the country against the sill
verism of Bryan. Suppose Mr.. Bryan
does not take note of the improved con

A lumber deal of considerable impor-
lance to northern Wisconsin and especial
ly to the cities bordering on Lake Supe-

purchase of 4OO,OOO,OOO of standing pine

being over $1,OO0,000. Former United
States Senator Villas of Madison and Col
John H Knight of Ashland are the pur
chasers. The Importance of this deal to
the mills on Lake Superior is Of great mo-
ment, because by it is opened tract Of

aal not cents worth Of anything
could be purchased in the city mar
ket last evening, while even the
street vendors Of bread, cakes, duices
or other edibles were prohibited
form selling their wares. This wss
due to a misinterpretation of the law
on tho part OF sumo OF the police
officers, who were not aware that
bakeries aud markets a;e exempt
from the Sunday law. Next SUNDAY
thore will probably be modification
Of these restrictions. Tho enforce
ment OF he law was rather hard
upon many, especially OF the poorer
class, who were not prepared oft
and were unable TO supply their
wants. Many who only buy from
day to day wore obliged TO DO With
out necessaries until this morning
II is to be hoped that a Iittle more
liberal interpretation of the Law
may besailowed hereafter, At least
permitting bread aud meat to be
sold.
