The well known employe Of Detroit, Michi-
gan, Board Of Public Works, Joseph B.
Myers, living at III Fort Street, west, is an
important member of the Grand Army of
Veterans, and recently had remarkable
experience.
Comrade Myers enlisted at Edinburg, Mo-,
in 1862, and served during the war in the
southwest, and was discharged at St. Louis,
Mo-, in 1865. He was member of Co. X.
First Missouri Cavalry, 18th A. c. Western
army commanded by General Burnside, and
later by Gen. Eads. He participated in the
battles of Springfield, Seas Ford and all the
principal battles through Missouri.
For months the First Missouri Cavalry
followed the notorious Guerilla Quantrell
and his band of bushwackers. Scarcely day
passed but what there was running fight.
For nearly six weeks Comrade Myers was
in the saddle constantly. 1t was campaign
of strategy and endurance, as both sides
were we'll mounted. Night and day it was
fight and skirmishes and the men were pros
trated for weeks after Quantrell was driven
from the State. Many times the command
rode all night to cut off his retreat and fought
all day. The men slept and ate in their
saddles during this campaign, and were glad
when they were relieved.

Teaching Children Good Manners.

Good manners cannot be learned in a
moment. There are certain forms which
society has agreed people must conform
to if they wish to appear we'll bred, and
these are often not at all what the natural
inclination would prompt one to do under
the circumstances. Children must be
taught these conventions, and we must
not be surprised if they are sometimes
slow in learning them, nor despair il after
much teaching they at times relapse into
nate~e barbarism. Patient perseverance
in training them wilt at last produce the
desired result. The constant repetition
that seems so irksome, combined with the
silent force of daily example, will effect
the end in view-a well-bred child

WASHINGTON COUNTY ROAD.
Train Service Will Soon be Increased
Proposed improvements.


The Washington County railroad, after
two months, operation, shows such VOL
ume of business that the management
announces its intention of an increase of
service soon.
About June l, perhaps earlier, the train
service will be doubled and the running
time of trains lessened. There will be
two trains each way daily, the afternoon
train leaving Ellsworth about Is. The
reduction i'll running time will be made
possible by the settling and reballasting
of he road in the spring. 1t is never ad-
visa BILE to make fast time on new road.
Speaking of improvements already be-
ing made or contemplated, General Man
ager Dowst said recently: There are
many improvements planned for the line
in the way of progress. We are now put
ting in wharf on Sea street, Eastport,
which will be $50 feet long and SO feet
front to which we will lay spur track,
| thus giving the road seashore terminus.
| The wharf will accommodate the largest
| transportation steamers and we will load
|
line for Italian and Scottish ports. AL
ready there is a movement in these indus
| tries along the road and we are assured
of large business in that line. 1t will
| give Washington county chance of di-
rect connection by rail and steamer with
| Europe for shocks and short timber, and
Eastport will witness the loading OF sew
eral big steamers the coming summer"
The railroad company is also prepar-
ing for an excursion resort at Pennama-
guam lake, and excursions will proba bly,
be run during the summer. The lake is
six miles long. 1t is thirty miles east Of
Machias. Calais men are already plan
ming to build a club house there. Boats
and small pleasure craft will be put on
the lake, dancing pavilions and restau
rants built and everything done to at
tract the people along the railroad.
