tension of Powers of the
Commission.

CHICAGO, Nov. 23.-Important amend
ments to the interstate law
were approved at a conference of rep.
resentatives of Y 80 national indus
trial and manufacturing associations,
merchants and shippers. The proposed
amendments to the statutes were pre-
pared by Frank Barry of Milwaukee,
secretary Of the Millers' National asso-
citation. Arrangements have been
made to have Senator Cullom intro
duce the bill in the senate at the COM
ing session and a determined effort will
be made to have it placed on the stat :
ute books. The bill demands a uni
form classification of rates and calls for
an important extension Of the powers
OF the interstate commerce commission
to prevent all kinds Of discrimination
in favor of manufactured product as
against the raw material. 1t also does
away with the system of Imprisonment
under the present law to one of fines,
making the corporation and not the in
dividual responsible and liable to prose-
cution.
Among those present at the meeting,
which was called for the purpose of en-
dorsing the measure, were E. P. Bacon
of Milwaukee, F. B. Thurber, chairman
of the committee on railroad transpor-
tation of the board Of trade Of New
York, and c. B. Cole of the Millers' as
ISOLATION. The amendments were dis
cussed at length before a decision was
reached. 1t is probable that "A special
committee will be appointed to advance
the interests of the measure in Wash

BILL ANDERSON.
BEGINNING of the wild Career of the
Notorious Missouri
Guerrilla.

A party of Springfield (Mo.) citizens
were talking about war times and
noted southern guerrillas and bandits,
when the character and career of Bill
Anderson, the terror of central and
North Missouri 36 years ago, came in
for a share of the reminiscent remarks.
George G. Newberry took the lead as
soon as the name of Anderson was
mentioned and told the following story
about the bloodthirsty raider.
at has often been told that Bill An
derson's parents were murdered by
union soldiers and that this outrage
drove their son into his career of blood
shed. That statement has no founda-
tion in truth. / lived near the Ander-
son family when the war came up, and
knew Bill and his brother Jim well.
''In 1856 was going to school at the
old Kentucky university known as
Pennsylvania. John II. Morgan after
wards the famous confederate raider,
was in the senior class at the same
time. l got tired of school life and

DEATH THE SOLDIER DIES.

Such is the death the soldier dies
He falls-the column speeds away;
Upon the dabbled grass he lies,
His brave heart following, still, the fray
The smoke wraiths drift among the trees
The battle storms along the hill;
The CLINT of distant arms he sees,
He hears his comrades shouting still.
A glimpse of far-horne flags, that fade
And vanish In the rolling din;
He knows the sweeping charge is made,
The cheering lines are closing in.
Unmindful of his mortal wound,
He family calls and seeks to rise;
But weakness drags him to the ground
Such is the death the soldier dies.
Robert Burns Wilson, in Atlantic.

tional cowards-men who are born
that way, and can't help it. Go up to
the adjutant and he will give you a dis
charge, and then go home and tell your
mother that you are coward, and that
it will be impossible to make soldier
out of you.
''There was another fellow in my
company who was known as a great
fighter in the town where he lived. 1
know he would fight the biggest man
in the town when he knew he would
get LICKED; yet when he got under fire
in front of Gen. Prentiss' hornets nest
he became as pale as a yhost, and lost
all self-control. / saw him in the line
in front OF me when we started on the
charge, but / never saw him again un-
til long after the war. He went over to
the union lines and surrendered. This
was a queer man. He would go into a
personal combat when he knew he
would be whipped; but the sound of
the bursting shell made a coward of
him."-Chicago Inter Ocean.

COWARDS IN BATTLE.
Two Instances of the Controlling In
Huencc of Fenr in Time
of Danger.

Speaking of cowards," said a men,
Der of Forests cavalry, 81 have heard
it contended by some that there was no
man who went into the army who
would not in time get over all fear of
battle, and become so hardened as to
enter the conflict fearlessly and with
out regard to consequences. On the
other hand, several instances came un-
der my own observation which would
induce the belief that there are men
who could never shake off the dread
with which, 1 suppose, every soldier en-
ters, his first battle. In other words,
there are born, constitutional cow
ards.
"I remember at the battle of Shiloh
there was young dentist in my com
pany who was supposed to be one of
the best men we had, as he was prob
ably the most intelligent; but when we
got in a tight place, directly in front
of Pittsburg landing, when the shells
from Sherman batteries were riddling
the trees and tearing up the ground in
front of us, that man not only lost all
nerve, but he burst into tears-not as
a man would naturally cry, but
screamed like a baby and appealed to
the major to take him away. That was
his last appearance with the company,
and l never knew what bscame of him.
There was a young fellow who went
into that battle whose name was,Jones.
Jones was about 10 years old-a coun-
try boy. When we went into the fight
on the first day, Jones ran away and
got lost. The next day he turned up
and rejoined the regiment, but as soon
as the fight opened Jones again fled. A
few days afterward, when we had re-
treated to Corinth, Jones again turned
up. By the look of his eye and his gen.
eral appearance it was apparent that
all his nerve was gone.
"He was brought up to the colonel's
tent, before all the men in camp, and
there was not man who did not pity
him. Even stern Col. Forrest pitied
him, as he said: Jones, am sorry for
this on your mothers account, She
sent you 10 me with request TO make a
soldier of you; but you are a coward
Mind, now, I don't blame you so much
or I would court-martial you for cow
