This great memorial shaft, COM
memoratite of the union soldiers that
fell in the bloody battle of Gettys-
burg, July 3, 1868, stands in the cen
ter of an Enclosure in the Pennsyl-
vania town of that name. The bodies
of about $500 soldiers, representing
IS northern states, lie buried in the
Enclosure, and upon the base of the
monument are the words of President
Lincoln, spoken at the conservation OF
the cemetery in No@smber, 1868. The
monument is of granite, and is an i'm

monument of the same name was be-

in honor of the British soldiers that
gave up their lives in the Napoleonic
wars. 1t was designed to be copy

WHAT THE MINER KNEW,
Knowledge That Enabled a Common
LabOcer to Gather in II Small
Fortune

This little story was told by a min
ing man from New Mexico who was
talking, after supper the other night,
about the queer ways fortunes were
made in the west, says the New Or
leans TimesDemocrat about a
month ago [ read the death notice.
he said, of a man I used to know
very well. He was formerly a COM
mon mine laborer, and at the time he
died he was worth probably couple
of hundred Thousand dollars. The
way he made his money was peculiar
While he was still swinging a~picl1 at
$3.50 a day, he was employed in a
gang at work on a certain property
in Colorado. The location was ex-
all around it, but they had gone down
several hundred feet and tunneled in
every direction without finding the
vein. One day this man of whom I
speak was at work in one of the side
excavations, known as drift FOUR
when he saw or thought he saw the
indications of rich ore, and. put a
small fragment in his pocket for in
spection when he came up. A little
later the workmen put Il blast in
the side and withdrew to another
tunnel to get out of the way of the
explosion. When the blast went off
it caved in the whole drift from one
end to the other. 1t would have cost
several thousand dollars to duplicate
the work, and as the company that
owned the property was already dis
Outraged they decided not to do it.
meanwhile my rlan quietly went
to an assayer and had a test made of
his little sample of ore. 1t ran so
high in gold that it almost took his
breath away, but he said nothing:
and went on swinging a pick at $3.50
day, while the company kept on
growing more and more discouraged
and more and more involved. That
continued for nearly two years, and
at last there came day when the
works were closed down for lack Of
funds. Then our friend went to the
president and asked him what he
would take for a 20-year lease. They
agreed on $500 a year, and everybody
thought the miner was crazy. He
had saved little money. and he went
straight to work on drift four. Long
before he got to the ore he was fiat
broke and working on money he had
almost pawned his soul to borrow, but
he struck it at last, and in two months
he took out 100000 net. Then he
sold his lease for a good round figure
and started in to enjoy life. Poor
fellow! he didn't last very long! A
shady transaction, did you say? Oh!
1 don't know. All mining is a gamble,
and-in his place, may anyhow,
it's hard to say. By the way, was

II was hoped in this manner to stop
the work.
The Central people did not deny
the fact that the yards generate some
smells. Any stock yard does as does
also any barn yard. But the point
the Central was fighting for was the
right to do business in Hampton.
The court in it's Instructions to the
jury clearly set forth this right.
1t is fact that the Central has
been doing a large stock shipping
business at this place and the yards
have been in great demand. Stock
has been shipped out and also re-
ceived at the yards. That received
has been distributed and sold from
the yard and this formed one Of the
objections of the plaintiffs. One man
complains that there were dead
animals buried on the place, and on
cross-examination the fact developed
that he had been in part responsible
for the burial of the animal com.

The Central has asked for a new
trial in the case and it will very like
ly be granted. If the trial is not
granted and the court sees fit to fine
the company and order their yards
from the city the Central will very
likely remove its yards and division
north of Hampton where it will erect
a new town.

leaders of Democracy in New York
are trust magnates and the greatest

TIE TRAVELLING MEN.

Montezuma Republican: Last week
we received pleasant call from two
travelling men, George M. Spooner,
of Grinnell, and Lon. Drinkle, from
Oskaloosa. The former represents
large -four company in Minnesota and
the latter big furniture company at
Grand Rapids, Michigan. They are
both constantly on the road and each
of them very positively denied the oft
repeated assertion that great ma
jority of the travelling men this year
are for Bryan. Mr.. Drinkle says
that the firm for whom he works has
more men on the road now than it
had four years ago and Mr.. spooner
said the same thing. He says that
he knows of but one travelling men
who is for Bryan. He says that a
few tobacco men were thrown out of
employment because of the tobacco
dealers trust but take the general
business of the country and there are
great many more men on the road
now than ever before. They both
spoke of the wonderful business
activity over the country and express
ed the hope that people would vote
this fall to continue the splendid con-
dition that now obtain.
