Mrs. Rudolph Rudlg, of Eighth
street, near the city line, who says:
"Since Mr.. Rudlg first publicly endors-
ed Doan's Kidney Pills in the summer
of 1896 after lie had procured supply
from w. H. S,yer's drug store and talk
en- course of the treatment he was
more than ofce asked II the remedy
could be depended upon to act as repre-
sented. In every case his reply was in
the affirmative. The nature of his work
is conducive to kidney complaint and
on more than one occasion he had had
slight attacks of baokache. An appeal
to Doan's Kidney Pills has never been
in vain"

GIVING THEM INFORMATION.

so far into the northwest that no con-
fpderate officer would ever find them.
The boys of the union regiments reas-
oned that every paroled prisoner who
escaped was so much gain to the union
cause, and it was soon understood in
the parole camp that If the Johnnies
wanted to emigrate the Yanks could
give them information as to boats and
provisions.
"A squad of confederates would es-
cape from the parole camp, would
prowl around the country between the
campand Vicksburg, would come across
n squad of our boys in charge of boat,
and they would be taken across the
river. Neither Gen. Grant nor any of
his subordinate officers knew anything
of this, and they were at loss to ex-
plain how it was that Pemberton's COM
mand dwindled down finally to about
i,CCO men. Some people in the north,
among them Gen. Halleck, believed that
the men had escaped by Pemberton's
connivance and had returned to the
confederate service, in violation of
their parole. But the truth is that most
OF them went into the northwest ter
ritories, and that they were given a
good send-ofP by the union troops. Years
afterward / met scores of these men
in Montana, Idaho and Utah, some OF
them employed in the mines, others
successful in general business, and not
a few of them in service as cowboys and
mu!edrivers on the plains.
AS evidence that the officers Of the
union army knew little of the facts
as to 'the disappearance of men from
Pemberton's camp no definite mention
is made of the camp in any of the Off
cial reports. Gen. Grant speaks of 700
OF Pemberton's men who refused to
be paroled and were sent north as
prisoners, and Of the deserters from
Pemberton's force, but no one seems
to have had information as to the part
Played by the union troops as emf
grant agents for the northwest terri
tories. There was the best of feeling
between the men who surrendered at
Nicksburg, and the men who captured
them, and there were many long talks
as to the future. Some of our boys
were familiar with conditions in the
northwest, and the confederates,
knowing that they could not return
home without being subject to arrest
or return to service, acted on the ad-
vice Of western men, burned their
bridges behind them, went beyond the
range of confederate influence, and
never returned south"
