A correspondent of Leslie's Weekly
retells the exploit of General Funston that
made his name household word at home.
1t was the crossing of the Rio Grande de la
Pampanga by the Kansas boys last April.
When Corporal Ferguson of Company E,
after climbing across on the girders OF the
dismantled bridge to within twenty feet OF
the insurgent trenches that We're blazing
with rebel fire, reported that it was i'm
practice BILE to take the bridge by assault,
Colonel Funston did not, as often stated,
call for volunteers to swim. Instead, he
first called for 12O volunteers and, obtaining
them quickly, he marched the little column
500 yards down the river He was on the
point Of successfully crossing when the
movement was betrayed by the barking Of
dog. 1t was later in the day when the
cident. Privates White and Tremblay's s
magnificent herosm must now be familiar
to every man, woman and child who reads
In English. When the rope had been made
fast three men tried to cross the river in
a canoe with Whites and Tremblay's cloth
ing and equipments. 1t takes a native to
handle one of these tipsy canoes and this
one upset in mid stream. White and Trem-
blay, after their late success. were now COM
PEELED to plunge in to the rescue of their
belongings, as well as to the rescue Of the
three men out of boat. When Funston
and the first forty-flve men had got across
on the famous raft rafting dash was made
upon the trenches, shouting in thunderous
tones the regiment yell: Rock, chalk!

ECHOES oE JuR WAR.

The war hero who, returning to paths OF
peace, is satisfied with the plaudlts OF The
multitude, and avoids stepping on the tender
corns OF politicians, displays an admirable
combination OF wisdom and courage In the
race OF temptation. Only genuine heroes can
safely face the music when the political
band plays. while those with borrowed
halos expose themselves to the rude
jeers Of partisan mobs. Many Oma-
ha people will recall how they
cheered the Pennsylvania volunteers,
homeward bound, and showered attentions
and flowers on the officers One of these
was Colonel Barnett, promoted to that rank
by the death OF Colonel Hawkins at sea.
Colonel Barnett's commission was supple
mented with a nomination for treasurer OF
Pennsylvania on the republican ticket. Thus
were substantial honors piled upon him.
Fortune smiled graciously and patted him
on the back. Presently the campaign waxed
warm and muttering of illfavor reached
the retired colonel but he paid no heed.
, Now the mutterings have grown into mock
ing jeers, while his halo has lost it's sheen.
Members OF the regiment publicly charge the
late colonel with possessing what Is known
In the camp as 'cod feet" complaint thai
becomes acute when the enemy is shooting
straight. Shorn OF the vernacular OF the
firing line the charge is that Barnett hid
behind mound while the boys went on into
the thick of the scrap. Time and locality
are given with other details calculated to
show that "cold feet" are a great inconven-
ience in a shooting match. Had Barnett
avoided politics the public would have con-
tinued in blssful ignorance Of his infirmi-
ties and cheered him when chance offered.
Now they are blazoned in public prints and
on deadwalls, and the halo acquired 1000
miles away Is tarnished and "bagged at
the knee"

SCOTCH WHiSkEY.
A Smooth, Alluring Drink, and Very
Treacherous, Says a Glasgow Merchant.

Treacherous, Says a Glasgow Merchant.
From the New York Sun.
A choice among many brands of
Scotch whiskey is offered nowadays in
New York saloons to people in search
of hot scotches; but all the brands have
an unfamiliar taste sometimes to WISH
tors from Scotland. They are apt to
conclude that if the whiskey came from
Scotland it must have been made for
export only. A Glasgow merchant in
New. York said:
The real Scotch whisl1ey of the best
type is blend of different whiskey so
skilfully made that all pungency in the
taste is. removed. Unlike the pungent
whiskey here, it slips down the throat
as easily as water. There is no bite to
it. 1t seems as mild as milk, but be-
ware if this quality induces you to i'm
bibe freely, for it is both strong and
treacherous The first impression one
gets on tasting the true Scotch whskey
is that it is a very mild tipple. That's
where novice Is liable to make the
mistake of his life. 1t glides down so
easily that he forgets that it is whiskey
he is drinking and ends by thinking
that all his companions are Disgrace
fully drunk. and that he is the only
sober person present. After a while he
is moved to reprove his companions for
imbibing too freely, and finds that
something is the matter with his
tongue. I.won't say what he wants it to
say, but keeps mixing, up things and
running one word, into another until he
gives up trying to talk as a bad job.
Then a friend escorts him home. and he
goes to bed under the, impression that
he has escorted his friend home as an
act of charity, and then gone home
himself.
Nov the Scotch whiskey you get
here may come from Scotland, but if
it does I never tasted anything like it
in Scotland. 1t has bite to it which
lasts all the way down until it reaches
the stomach. and there is a pungent
taste to it which makes it feel as if
there was a great deal of alcohol in it,
But you could drink more of it than of
the real Scotch whiskey you get in my
country without becoming intoxicated.
I don't know whether that is any re-
commentator. I do know that any
one familiar with the qualities of the
Scotch Whiskey l know of will not daily
with it too long

John F. Davies: also copies
OF the favorable report made on the
same bill in the ty-fourth congress
and letter sent by the secretary of the
treasury in 1896 which set forth the
advantages of and necessity for new
building al Butte.
Representative Hartman, in the last
Gays OF MS congressional service, has
returned to the attack upon the con-
gressmen who try to pinch part of
the salaries paid their secretaries. Mr..
Hartman was the father of the bill
which provided for congressional clerks
and he has never taken kindly to the
abuses that have developed in the oper-
alton of the law. This week the Mon
tana member submitted resolution
which thoroughly expresses his views.
This provides that each member who
desires to avail himself of the benefits
of the clerk law shall file with the clerk
of the house a certificate wherein shall
be stated the name and residence of
the person or persons so employed, the
date of the. employment, and the
monthly compensation agreed to be
paid. This certificate shall be filed
within 10 days from the date of the
employment of the clerk, and any
change in employment, either as to the
person or persons employed or the
amount of compensation shall be duly
certified by the representative within
10 days from the date of change. Upon
the filing of such certificates the clerk OF
the house shall issue his warrant for
such amount of compensation to the
person or persons mentioned in such
certificate. Upon the finding and de-
cision of the. house that any represen-
tative has appropriated, or retained.
either directly or indirectly, any por-
ton Of the money heretofore or here
after appropriated for clerk hire, such
member shall forfeit all right to the
employment of clerk.
Senator Carter's amendment to the
army bill carrying s4,350 to pay Custer
county for the steel bridge over Tongue
river has been favorably recommended
by the quartermaster general and, in
turn, by the secretary Of war. The
government will, if Carriers amend
ment passes, pay half of the cost price,
and the rest will be borne by Custer
county. The bridge has been completed
for nearly two years. HOSFORD.

THE SAN JAcrsro STREET BRIDGE
Dbmething About the Facts Causing
the DclnN in nennirs


Under the caption. Unjust Criticism. :"
Ihe city administration organ of yesterday
laid:
The repair work on the San Jacinto bridge
Is being pushed as rapidly as possible. Some
people who do not appreciate tho character
and extent Of the work to be done, seem to
think there 10 Unnecessary sowness in prose-
cutting II. The remark is sometimes heard.
II this was railroad companv's bridge It
would be fixed up in jiny." They do not.
seem 70 realize the fact that Il the bridge
belonged TO a railroad company IL would
never have gotten in such shape as II Is.
The bridge has been neglected by previous
administrations until 1t Is out OF gear all
over and dangerous. Had 1t heen looked after
from year to wear. as II should have been, the
bridge today would have been I'm good con.
dltion. The work OF fixing 1t up now means
the going over OF the whole structure and Is
big and necessarily tedious Job. The iron
workmen and carpenters are busy with It and
doing tho very best they can When the
bridge is repaired 1t will be good for two
years.
The mayor and his organ may think the,
are throwing dust In the eyes OF the peo-
pie by methods Of which the above is a
sample. but they are mistaken. The at
tempt to make Mayor Rice aud Mayor
Browne responsible for tho very great In
convenience TO which the public is being
put. with regard 70 the San Jacinto bridge
Is farfetched and Of piece with the Ell
forts in every instance to excuse the bung-
ling OF the present administration BY
clumsy reflections ON honorable men who
have preceded It as public servants. The
only wonder, indeed. Is that the organ doe.
not hx the responsibility on Rice or
Browne or Scherfius or Smith or all Of
them for the year or more delay In
the Franklin strest bridge. and for the
amazing contract which inexplalnably
