A SOLDIERS WARNING.
He Prophesied His Own Death on the
Day Before the Battle.

He Prophesied His Own Death on the
Day Before the Battle.
Many an old soldier can tell tales of
premonition and portent that would
convert the stoutest scoffer to belief
in the existence of what is indefinitely
termed by psychologists "the sixth
sense" The following "Reminiscences of
the civil war, delivered by a white
bearded Ohio veteran, is case in point
when the war broke out, said he,

county. Charley Shearer, who after
ward became one Of our circuit judges,
was employed in the same store. His
brother Frank and 1 were nearly of the
same age. One day went across the
street and enlisted. was only 10 years
old at the time, but / was sworn in.
Frank Shearer also enlisted, and we
went out together. He and were mess
mates and chums. A finer boy never
lived. We went through the hard cam
paigning of General Sherman and were
with him in the Atlanta campaign
Just the day before the battle of Resaca
Frank came to me and said: Andy, l
am going to be killed tomorrow. l know
that will be shot early in the fight. ;
! laughed at his fears, but he said he
was telling the truth. finally became
convinced myself that he may have had
premonition and importuned him not
to 60 into the battle He said it would
not do for him to get sick leave, even
If his health was bad-he was Just
about sick-for the boys would call him
coward. A Drawer boy never lived
and told him so. | finally got his con

ment. did so, being frank with the
colonel and telling him everything. He
at once granted the request and wrote
out the desired order. l gave it to
Frank that night and thought he was
safe The next morning, however, he re-.
fused to obey and insisted that if he
failed to go into battle with the rest of
us the boys would question his bravery
We went into the engagement, and
Frank fell dead at the first volley from
the enemy"

Salaries of Presidents.

Very few persons would suspect how
small the salaries of presidents of re-
publics are, when the enormous sums
crowned heads receive are taken into
consideration. The foreigner often
thinks the $4,000 salary of the Presi-
dent of the United States is merely
q joke, and that he receives ten times
as much in reality, but the same for
eigper may not know that the French
President, in country where the
wealthiest monachs once reigned, re-
ceives only 100000 year. The
President of the little Andorra Re.
public contents himself with a salary
of $15 a year, and the President of
the Swiss Republic must be satisfied
with $4,000

SLATE MAPPED OUT
How the Breidenthal Men
Figure Out Next Ticket.
BROWN WON'T QUIT
The Race for Congress Yet
Meeting at Topeka.

A prominent Populist who has once
held an important Office in Kansas but
who desires that his name be withheld,
said TO a representative of the Eagle yes
terday that he had attended a Breiden-
thai conference in Topeka not more than
three weeks ago, in which John Breiden-
thai made formal announcement OF his
intention to run for governor. This sort
OF slate was fixed up and the Breiden-
thai men viii attempt to carry it through.
For governor, John Breidenthal; lieuten-
ant governor, A, II. Harvey; state treas
urer, D. NJ. Heff1ebower; secretary of
B. Amidon.
Iron-jaw Brown was slated for warden
of the penitentiary, and Webb McNall
for insurance commissioner.
This meeting was responsible for the
story that Brown and Fairchild had fixed
up their differences in Kingman county.
Brown was asked to get out OF Fair
child's way for congress, and the story
was given out that he had. But he has
not. The conference succeeded except
that Harvey and McNall both want to be
governor and Brown wants to go TO con-
gress.
John Brown stated yesterday to an
Eagle correspondent: ST have aspirations
in the direction of going to congress; yes,
sir AS to the relation between Mr.. Fair
child and myself, I viii say this: II, on
making a careful survey of the situation,
I shall be persuaded that Mr. Faircaild
is stronger in this county than I. then I
shall withdraw gracefully and concede
everything to him. If, on the other hand.
Mr.. Fairchild shall survey things and he
and his friends be satisfied that I am The
stronger, shall expect the same cour-
tesy from him. If our friends should be
about equally divided, or he should refuse
me the courtesy 1 deem due me, we will
clash. That is ALL
Mr.. Fairchild will not talk for publica-
ton.
