Dubious, Hut WiiIing.-When the ad-
visibility of nominating the Hon Adlai
E. Stevenson for Vice President was under
discussion at Kansas City, one of his sup
porteTs told a story TO illustrate the hold
Mr.. Stevenson mas on the old-time Demo-
Gratis of Illinois. The Democratic strong
hold of Illinois Is in the southern part OF
the State, which section is known as
Egypt In that region for years the real
ole article OF Democracy has flOuTished as
II has hou-ished in no other part of the
country. It was in that part OF the State
that the laCe John A Logan started to
raise regiment for service in the Con-
federate army before he espoused the
cause Of the Union with all OF the re-
markable ardor OF his nature. Some Of The
men who were willing TO fight under fle
Confederate flag with Logan are living il
Egypt get. One of them attended an
important conference of Democrats held at
the residence of Mr. Stevenson in Bloom
ington early ia the '70's. Al that time the
late David Davis was a great man in
Illinois. At the conference his name
was being urgently pushed by Mr.. Steven
son and others for the Democratic Presi-
Dental nomination. All day the talk was
of Davis and the advisability of present.
ing him to the national Democracy as its
leader. No1ody had thought il necessary
10 mention his given name. Nearly every
body made speech advocating this course
and Mr.. Stevenson was especially in
sistent for Davis selection as the IL
linois candidate. Late in the afternoon
when Ghe conference was about to dissolve
Mr.. Stevenson, who was presiding discov-
cred in back part OF the room ar old
friend from Egypt" who was about the
only one that had not made a speech or a
suggestion Upon him Mr Stevenson cali
ed for an expression Of opinion. Hesitat-
ingly the tall Egyptian" unwound his
length and stood bolt upright for several
seconds without speaking. Finally in a
squeaky voice he spoke his sentiments

Some Of our contemporaries seem TO
fancy that trouble may result from the ac-
tion of France in giving the command of
her forces in China to Major General
Dodds, who is en- able fighter with an Ar
rican record. but who is also a mulatto.
Fears are expressed that he may rank
other commanders, and so make it neces-
sary for American and English troops to
serve under him. Such apprehensions are
probably groundless. Admiral Alexieff and
Vice Admiral Seymour will rank Major
General Dodds in mixed operations. while
it is nearly certain that Japan will send
field marshal. and couple of lieutenant
generals to Tsku. So far. We have only

While the battles were. in progress be-
tween Gen. Mcclellan and Gen. Lee, in
front of Richmond, in 1862, hundreds of
citizens from the vicinity of the Chica-
hofniny fed before the advancing tide of
battle, and entered Richmond by the
"Rocketts Road" many on foot, while the
women and children were piled up on tc2
of beds and quilts in the carts and wag-
ons. These took refuge wherever it might
be found.
After them came, on foot, some 800
sick. wounded and disabled Confederate
soldiers, all seeking hospitals, several of
which were located on Main street. The
front of this forlorn column halted and
dropped down on the sidewalks and curb

Wonderful Home Remedy That Quickly

A TRIAL PACKAGE MAILED FREE.

That catarrh can be quickly relieved and per
manently cured is proved by a most remarkable
Marshall Mich. He will gladly send to any ad-
dress a trial package of the remedy, so you can
try il at home and be satisfied that it is genu-
inc catarrh cure
1t gives wonderful relief. especially in those
chronic cases where the mucus drops down the
throat and lungs, sickens the stomach, and leads
to many diseases, including consumption Mrs
p NJ. Heldenbrant Juniata, Neb., says:-"Mr
Gauss wonderful remedy cured me of deep
cough, started by catarrh, and also all the other
disgusting features of the disease such as hawk
ing vomiting, etc. l used a hundred inhalers
oxygen, grease, snufTs, powders, liquids, iellies
paStes and other things but Mr. Gauss new and
wonderful remedy is the only one that relieved
and it cured me-" Hundreds of others write
similar letters.

the hero slave. 1t is standing Joke in
Virginia that the brains Of negro are
located in his shins, instead of his head,
and this probably originated in the fact
that the negro's head is thicker than the
white mans, and he is also regarded as
very hard-headed, or thick-h headed, mean
ing not ready to understand.
But, to the scout, James Hamilton.
When he dashed through the house, with
the Confederates in pursuit, he rapidly
moved to the branch, with which he was
very familiar, and, jumping into the ditch,
ran to the road at the little ground bridge,
where his faithful horse was quietly
drinking. Mounting him rapidly, he sped
away by by-paths to Suffolk, and gave
the alarm, about the same time several
other scouts arrived with the news Of
Longstreet's advance. Longstreet retired
in few days, and two or three months
later Lee surrendered to Gen. Grant
need not tell the remainder of the story,
but may say that the elder Mr.. Hamilton
soon arrived at Suffolk, and there was a
joyous meeting all around. MFR. Haml-
ton again purchased small farm near
the one he had formerly owned, and in
month or two James Hamilton, the
scout, and May Henderson were happily
married at Providence Church, with the
cordial consent of all concerned; and, let
us hope, as they say in novels, that they
lived long and happily thereafter
"Old H., now Maj. Henderson again,
danced gaily at the wedding party with
the fascinating widow Jones, neighbor,
while Mr.. Hamilton and Miss Kate Hen
derson stepped off the pigeon-wing dance
to the envy of all beholders. May and
Jimmy, in the dance, foated through tho
dizzy mazes on Cupid's wings; but
Uncle Dick sporting a handsome gold
watch and chain and numerous gold finger
rings, presents from the Hamiltons, father
and son, gave unique specimens of the
Virginia jig and the famous grapevine
twist dance: and "Uncle Dick" said, 81

a all-powerful weddin' as dis in old Nan
semond as dis one"

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: While
South Dakota is a new State, and the
Grand Army small organization compar
ltively, yet at Chicago we had over 200
omrades in line, and we felt that we
made a very creditable appearance un-
ier the circumstances. We feel, however,
hat we were not very well used by the
newspapers of Chicago, for the reason
hat the credit for our display Of corn

and Kentucky. The Department of South

Having made an extra effort at Chicago
We felt that we were entitled to some

rom us without any mention at all of the
South Dakota Department was very an
noying to our boys.
There was one other matter in the En-
'ampment in which South Dakota was

our Department. 1t seems that the re-
