A SOLDIERS LETTER.
Geo. W. TiIghman Finds a Letter lie Wrote
to His Father 81 Years Ago.

The following is letter written by
Geo. W. Tilghman to his father when
off fighting for his country, found
among some old papers, which we pnb-
lish in full as a part of the history of
that time:
Headquarters 1st Del. Reg't, Camp
near Falmouth, Va, Feb. 9th, 1868.
''DEAR FATHER:-I have received
your kind and welcome letter of Jan.
21st. L am glad to hear from you all
once more, and to hear that bad colds
is the worst complaint that you have,
for they are very common. [ am we'll
at present and hope these few lines
will find you all well. My family were
we'll when [ last heard from them, l do
wish this plagued war was ended, so
that L could get to see my family and
you all too. The 10th of this month
will be 16 months since saw my fam
lily.
cit seems that our winter has Just
set in here, for we are now having rain
or snow or freezing nearly all the time,
the ground is very mucky and the road
nearly impossible.
About three weeks ago, we were all
ordered to get ready to cross the river,
and attack the Rebs again; well we
were all ready to move, and part of the
army had started, when heavy rain
storm set in and made the road i'm
passable, so that they all were ordered
back. The roads were so bad that is was
almost impossible to get the artillery
and wagons back again. l have seen
16 horses to one wagon, and it would
take as high as 10 to 12 horse to draw
one gun, the roads were so bad. have
thought since perhaps the Almighty sent
that rainstOrm to save lives, for if it
had not come when it did, there might
have been 10000 or $4,000 more lives
lost before now, and mine might have
been one. We were paid off few days
ago. We received four months pay,
which was very acceptable to us, for
some of our families have been need
ing money badly, and we have not
been paid since the first of last August
until now.
''We are now paid up to the 31st OF
last October, so you will see there is
nearly four months more pay due us
now. l hope we wont have to wait as
long for that, as we have for this other.
"Our regiment came out with be.
tween 900 and 1000 men, and now we
have from 300 to $50 men only. Many
of our poor fellows sleep on the bloody
fields of Antietam and Fredericksburg,
not to wake until Gabriel's trumpet
shall sound.
Well 1 must close, please write soon
and give my love to all the family, if
live to see you, which 1 hope shall
I will tell you all about the scenes
through which I have passed. For the
/ present 1 must close. 1 remain as evel
Your affectionate son,
GEO. w. TILGHMAN.
May God bless you all

Boiled Salt Meats.

The indigestible properties of boiled
ham, corned beef and other salt meats
may. according to Mrs. Parloa. the
cooking expert, be eliminated II the
meat Is sufficiently boiled. The salt
toughens the fibers, and it takes per-
sistent boiling to overcome this. The
time allowed for a ten pound piece Is
five hours. but as the pieces are apt to
be thick rather than long one of half
this weight would need about the same
amount of time. The meat should be
partly cooled In the water in which II
is boiled.

to the use of atomizers in applying liquids
into the nasal passage for Catarrhal tr01t-
bles, the proprietors prepare Ely's Liquid
Cream Balm. Price including the spraying
tube is IS cents. Druggists or by mail.
The liquid embodies the medicinal proper
ties of the solid preparation. Cream Balm
is quickly absorbed by the membrane and
does not dry up the secretions but changes
them to natural and healthy character.

MIR. FUNk'S CANDIDACY.
77z-s 5s-Es 4Ti3SZ
May be Formally Announced tO
the Public Monday.

Ever since w. A. Funk's name was
first mentioned in connection with
the congressional nomination, several
weeks ago, he has been the subject
Of editorial writings in many of the
i:apers of the Second district, and has
received a voluminous mail on the
subject. Heretofore, it has been
thought that he would not be swer-
we'd from his candidacy for the county
attorneyship by the more tempting
congressional biat, but those who
have relied upon this are apt to soon
be disallusioned.
The Free Press has it on reliable
information today that Mr.. Funk has
decided to seek the nomination for
congress at the hands of the Second
district congressional convention. 1t
is also stated that his formal an.
nouncement of his candidacy will be
issued tho first part of next week.
Mr.: Funk is an active worker, and if
he concludes to contest the nonina-
ton with Con gresham McCleary an
interesting time may be looked for
ward to during the next two months

WoPTH1NaToN, MIMI,
April. 13, 1900.

We, the undersigned practicine
physicians of the village of Worth.
ipgton have decided that after May
1st, 1900, we will charge One Dollar
and a Half for visits in town and One
Dollar for Office consultations. We
do this because of the increased size
and prosperity of Worthington, the
higher prices being charged TO,
everything; because a physician il
under more expense and must b<
more thoroughly prepared thar
formerly and for the reason that the
above mentioned prices are being
charged in other towns the size o1
Worthington throughout Minnesots
and Iowa.
