Sp00Cn III WHICH ne SdlO IL We uau duy
greenbacks, if we would go forward
and deliver them up voluntarily, our
names would be taken and record
m ade of it and whenever they were
paroled or exchanged the money
would be refunded. Only few com
piled with the request, one man from
Derby giving up nearly hundred
dollars. He was exchanged at Ander-
sonville, Aug. 9th bnt he was ex-
changed from this world to the next.
None that I ever heard ofever receiv
ed back one penney.
We were told to take out every
thing in our knapsacks and put it
down in front of us. Our knapsacks,
haversacks and canteens were all
thrown into one heap in the middle of
the floor. Then we were made to strip
off our clothes until we we're as nude
as the god of love. Things began to
look a little dubious. Some thought
they were really going to take our
clothes away; some said they guessed
we were going to have our photo
graphs taken; others that probably
there was going to be a street parade,
and still others that they were going
to brand us same as they did their
mules with @. S. A.
They picked up our garments, one
at time, and carefully examined ev-
cry seam and part where there was a
possibility of finding a greenback,
even making us open our mouths and
looked under our tongues and every
conceivable place where money could
be hid. Notwithstanding this rigid
search a few came out with a little.
had forty dollars in confederate
money which L handed the officer
when he asked me if had any money.
But he either did not care for that or
accidentally dropped it on the floor
and gathered it up with my clothing,
together with the lining to my haver-
sack, diary, cud and testament.
After they had completed the search
we were hurried away to the floor be-
low, having barely time to dress, COM
pelling us to leave behind many little
things that if we could have had time
to pick up would have been of much
service to us. Our knapsacks, haver-
sacks, canteens, and nearly every
thing of value were confiscated,
leaving us nearly as destitute as the
cattle of the fields with the additional
misfortune of being unable to live,
like Nebuchadnezzar, on grass.
Occasionally a man had saved a
knife or a spoon, a cup, part of
wooden blanket or piece of a shelter
tent, while others were left with
nothing but the clothes on their backs.
Some interpreted this act of plunder
as an indication that we were to re-
main prisoners but a short time and
should soon be exchanged and sent to
our lines where we could draw new
supply; but it was only conspiracy
on the part of the leaders of the re-
bellion, to reduce us to such an ex-
tremity that we would either die in
Imprisonment or be unified for any
further military service.
When all had been searched we
were left to roam at will on the first,
second OR third floor.

In justice to Col. Dale, therefore,
let us say that his record up to to this
date is most promising and enviable
one. AS an orator he compares favor
ably with any; as lawyer and business
man he is we'll on the high road to
success; and as a citizen and gentle
man is above criticism.
Those who heard him nominate Col.
z. M. Mansur for lieutenant governor
in the state convention of 1894, or his
masterful effort as chairman of the
republican state convention in 1896,
know that those who say that Col.
Dale is no orator, do not know what
they are talking about. Col. Dale has
nnmberless invitations to address
public gatherings this winter, but
does not believe in attempting to fur
ther his canvass in this way just be-
cause the other candidates do, and
has, therefore, declined most of them.

CRITICAL CRITICS

Are the kind that admire. I like buyers
who tell what they want and insist on getting
it. I like customers who know what art
is-know its merit it's worth, and it's con-
struction; can pick flaws if there be any, or
note points of excellence. My goods and my
tore will bear just such critical inspection.
Criticism and comparison bring out the
strong points in my stock and methods.

The verdict in the Molineux case in
New York last week was surprise to
the general public. The decision of
the jury appeared to stand on the
question of whether they would accept
the testimony of the handwriting ex-
perts as proof in the matter and it
was generally thought that they
would not.

The Nea0 England Farmer, published
at Boston, offers its readers the fol-.
lowing advice:
"Have you written to your congress
man to vote for the Grout oleomar
garine bill? 1t is good measure and
can be passed by united effort. Write"
This is the bill which was SO hearth
ly endorsed by the Vermont Dairy
mems association at Brattleboro last
month and which has the endorse
ment of prominent dairymen all over
the country. The oleomargarine in
terests are putting up a big fight
against the bill, but the dairy interests
are stronger and it looks very favor
ably for the passage of the bill at this
session. Gen. Grout has worked for
the passage of this bill for years and
when victory comes, it will be largely
owing to his energetic efforts for the
protection of the dairy interests of
the United States.-Cdledonid

HOW He KEPT HIS CROWD.
Amusing Incident Which Happened
to a Bryan Spell-binder.

From the Saturday Evening Post.
In the campaign of 1896 it came to
the attention Of leading Democrats
that an unknown orator In a certain
western state was making a mighty
stir among the people. winning from
the Republicans the expressive title Of
THE Singed Cat" Several letters
from Democrats in adjoining counties
We're soon received, asking that this
orator be sent to them, and testifying
to the convincing power OF his argu-
ments. But. according to the story as
it is frequently related in Democratic
Headquarters, the supreme test of this
spellbinder's power over an audience
came when he was addressing a mass
meeting In a densely packed skating
rink. Mschievous young men got out
the village fire engine, hauled 1t in
front of the rink, and pounded its gong
with a violence that, for moment,
completely drowned the voice of the
orator inside the building. His audi
ence started to stampede, but he
checked the movement by command
ing gesture. Then, placing his left
hand upon the top of his head, he
shouted:
Right here Is where the fire Isl And
it will not be put out until 1t has helped
TO light bonfires that celebrate Mr..
Bryan's election"
