OUANTRILL'S LAST STAND.
The Old Barn in Which the Guerrilla
Leader Was Drought

An old barn, in an advanced state of
decay, situated on the farm of w. =.
Heady, about a mile west of Wakefield
Station, in Spencer county, is historic
object, as it was in, this old structure
that William Clarke Quantrill, the
noted guerrilla chieftain, received his
death,wound. This barn is an old-fash-
lioned building, common in Kentucky
jim ante-bellum days. The interior con-
tailts but one apartment, ordinarily
known as the "cutting-room," from the
fact that all the feed for the stock was
chopped and prepared there. The room
is about 30 feet square, with loft above
it. The barn was, in it's palmy days,
surrounded on all sides by sheds 16 feet
in width. These sheds, at this time
mostly fallen away, were used for vari-
GUS purposes.
Quantrill and his men were occupy
ing this barn when Terrill's band of
home guards surprised and attacked
them. In the sharp skirmish which fol-
lowed Quantrill received wound in the
lungs which Frustrated him. He was
captured and taken to the commodous

Wakefield, who then owned the place.
Here the wounded guerrilla was given
medical attention and kind nursing by
Mr.. Wakefield and his family. and also
by Judge Jonathan Davis, who owned
the adjoining farm, and at whose house
QuantriH and his men, when in the
neighborhood, frequently stopped. The
former entertained a high regard for
Judge Davis and never allowed his men
to take the slightest advantage of him.
Judge Davis was n true friend to Guam
trill and remained faithful to him to
the end. AS n freemason Judge Davis
received secret from Quantrill which
he was never at liberty to disclose.
After being allowed to remain at the
Wakefield house for several days,
Quantrill was removed, under guard,
to Louisville, where, after lingering for
two or three months, he died.-Louis-

TIMELY GARDEN NOTES.

Watch sod orchard. 1t will begin
to fGSS before you know it.
Good drainage, natural or artificial,
is essential to success. Trees are i'm
patient of wet feet.
Good tillage increases the available
food supply of the soil and also con.
serves its moisture.
Potash is the chief fertilizer to be APP
piled to fruit trees, particularly after
they come into bearing.
Only cultivated crops should be al
lowed in orchards early in the season,
Grain and hay should never be grown.
Nitrogen can be obtained cheapest
by means of thorough tillage ito pro-
mote nitrification) and nitrogenous
green manures.
The remedy for these apple failures
is to cut down many of the orchards.
For the remainder, the treatment is cul-
tivation, fertilization, spraying - the
trinity of orthodox apple growing.
Cultivation may be stopped late in
the season, and crop can then be sown
upon the land. This crop may serve as
a cover or protection to the soil, and as
q green manure.-Prof. Bailey.

The national president of the Army
Nurses association is Mrs. Elizabeth
w. Ewing, who is naturally proud of
her position as the president Of an or

when the "boys in blue''were suffering
from disease or the dreadful effects of
shot and shell, gave up the comforts of
home that they might minister to the
necessities of the loyal sons of the ma
ton. Mrs. Ewing is pleasant speaker
and is overtlowing with "reminiscences
of hospital life. For along time she
was connected with the Baltimore hos
pitfalls during the war, and was an eff
ficient and sympathetic nurse. In ap-
pearance she is tall and stately, with
abundant dark hair and face wonder

was with Surgeon Il. S. Kenderline at
the hospital at Broad street and Wash

the Christian Street hospital, serving
from September 5, 1862, to August IL
1865, without an absence except of one
week when her husband died. Mrs. As

invalid, could not render any service to

1t is not uncommon for agricultural

they like and attend churches, socia-

WOMEN WHO SAW WAR.
An Association of HerOines Who
Served Their Country In
the COS.

The heart of the veteran is strongly
stirred whenever he sees n woman
wearing a little badge of blue and gold,
having upon it the cabalistic letters "A.
n. A." A vision arises before him, and
he sees, through dim vista stretching
away over the tolls and triumphs, the
joys and sorrows of more than 80 years,
a young woman in the flush of health
and strength, tenderly caring for the
sick and wounded, or reverently clos
ing for the last long sleep the eyes of
a dying soldier, far from home and
loved ones. She was undaunted by the
sight of blood flowing from gaping
wounds, uncomplaining in the face of
privation, always patient, even if suf-
fering the loss of many hours of sleep,
and ever sympathetic when by the cot
OF the sick or dying.
There were many women of this
type when there was need of their
services, but now their ranks are thin
ming year by year, and this year when
they gather in our city for their annual
business meeting an additional interest
will attach to them, for we know that
before another year rolls around many
of the feeble but loyal sisterhood will
have answered the last roll call, and
gone to higher service, in an army
where there is no discharge.
Many of these army nurses are mem.
bers of one or the other of the patriot
ic organizations which have grown out
of the civil war, hut as theirs was n dis
tinct work so it seemed proper that
there should be distinct organization
fsr them.
Miss Dorothea Dix, who had the direc-
tion of so many of these women when
they rendered such excellent service,
remembered their deeds of self-sacri-
flee and heroism, land thought it would
be an appropriate thing to band thens'
selves together in an association, 70
she issued call to them, and they came
together in the city of Washington
, June IS, 1851, and organized under the
title of EX-Army Nurses association.
Miss Dix was enthusiastically elected
president, and ser'rd acceptably until
called to higher service. She was sue
ceeded by DR.. Susan Edison, of Wash
ington city, who served until failing
health compelled her to resign. Among
those who have served faithfully is
Mrs. Emily Il. Woodley, of this city,
who went from here early in the war
and stood at the post of duty until

CARDINAL VAUGHAN IN POLITICS.

The successor OF Wiseman, Newman
and Manning in the See of Westmin-
ster is becoming more conspicuous as a
Tory politician than as Catholic
churchman. On the Fourth of July he
appeared as a speaker at the banquet
given in London by the american So
ciety" and declared that the English
speaking races must rule in Asia and
Africa for the purpose of promoting
"true Christian civilization" He ia
vored the most cordial relations between
the United States and his own country
and made offensive references to Russia.
OF course, he was vehemently applauded
by the denationalized Americans for his
laudation of the Anglo-Saxon race, but
some of them are said to have been
shocked at his lingo utterances, COM
ing as they did from the highest digni-
tary OF the Catholic church in England.

Vaughan is actuated by humanitarian
motives. He thinks it an excellent
thing for the Filipinos to come under

civilization. He believes it would

ANsOFFENSIvE PARTISAN.

A bitter and an unwarranted attack
upon worthy citizen was made at the
City Hall the other evening by Re
publican partisan who is a member oil
the Board of Charities and Corrections.
When it was announced that Captain
Michael Whelan was appointed assistant
superintendent of the workhouse, Geo.
Fl. Miller entered vehement protest,
saying that the moral character of the
appointee was of the worst kind. This
was Indignantly denied by Alderman
Dwyer, who was present. He said it
was a strong accusation to make against
a man who had been resident of this
city for fifteen years, and that his assail-
ant could not substantiate the charge.
The Irish Standard regrets that politi-
cal bias caused Commissioner Miller to
cast aspersions upon the moral character
of Capt. Whelan. He can adduce no
proof for the slanderous charge, and if
he does not apologize publicly for the
wrong he has committed, we would sug-
gest to Capt. Whelan to prosecute him
to the full extent OF the law. No mans
moral character should be attacked with
impunity. If through malice or preju-
dice the good name of citizen is tar
nished by an INSCRIPTIONS political op-
.ponent, the victim OF his defamation is
justified before God and man in vindi-
eating his own character. We repeat
that Miller should Immediately retract
or be made defendant in a damage
suit. Capt. Whelan, in justice to him
self and to the Democratic party, of
which he is member, cannot afford to
let Miller go scot free.
We have known Capt> Whe1an for
many years and have no hesitation in
saying that from moral standpoint he
is the equal of any Republican politician
in the city. He requires no defense in
these columns, but we are happy to
testify to the noble qualities of head and
heart that characterize the veteran SOL
der OF the republic. He is an ex-
emplary member of the church to
which he belongs, and his social life is
above reproach. Any one who knows
him here or elsewhere will be glad to
bear testimony to his character.
Capt Whelan has been a lifelong
Democrat, and that is enough to con-
denim him in the eyes OF Republican
saints. While deputy superintendent
of the workhouse, during four years or
more, he gave universal satisfaction in
the discharge Of his duties. Never be-
fore or since has the position been filled
SO satisfactorily. No better man could
have been selected for the post under
a Democratic administration, and we
congratulate Mr.. Hagman upon select
ing him for his assistant
