Mrs. Lars Hansen at Rest.

Last Saturday the angel of death
interered our midst and carried the
spirit of Mrs. Lars Hansen to it's re-
ward, leaving behind the cold and
lifeless tenement of clay which be-
reaved relatives and sorrowing friends
with tears and signs and sobs followed
to the Elkhorn cemetery, Tuesday,
and laid it in peaceful repose in the
silent tomb where it will rest in
peaceful quietude. Mrs. Larsen was
born in Denmark but for years she
has lived in this country with her
husband enjoying the manifold bless
ings and common comforts Of life.
For sometime her health has been
failing and surrounded by those she
loved, she quietly closed her eyes in
death, shutting out the scenes of the
past. She was woman strong in her
attachments and fond of her friends
and associates. She was woman
with noble purposes, high resolves
and has strewn the pathway of life
with kind deeds, loving words and
acts of charity. The funeral was held
at the church at EIkhorn, Tuesday,
the services being conducted by Rev.
Wig.

Il remember" continued the major,
zone case in which woman stabbed
her carriage horses in the parlor for
two days to keep them out of Nor
CAMS hands. l saw Morgan's men ride
by that house and saw some Of them
stop to listen at the unusual sound Of
horses feet on carpeted floor, but the
parlor horses were not disturbed. Some
of our neighbors drove their horses
cattle and sheep 80 miles into the in
terror and were away from home a
week. Morgan's men looted right and
left, and some of them had bolts of
calico strapped to their saddles when
they were captured.
Morgan. it must be remembered,
made his whole raid with artillery and
wagon train. but he was not in Ohio
to fight, and he demonstrated at once
the ease with which a peaceful district
may he invaded by mobile column
aud at the same time the peril involv-
ed in such venture. In a few days
$4,000 militiamen were in the field
against him. AT first he played with
these green soldiers, but at last they
hung on his tanks, eager for fight as
bulldogs. In the last days Hobsons
men. who had followed Morgan for
hundreds of miles through three states,
closed in on their old enemies with q
gleefulness that exceeded anything of
the kind l ever saw in the army. and
Judah's men, closing in on the other
side. settled the fate of the raiders.
'Morgan's men knew by the maneu-
vering and the firing when they were
faced by trained soldiers, and the first
charge Of the Union cavalry had in it
the impetus Of delayed vengeance. The
Unionists who rode in that charge had
old scores to settle. and Morgan's tired

MORGAN'S RAIDERS.
THE FAMOUS ROUGH RIDING CAM
PAiGn OF THE CIVIL WAR.

il Carried Panic and Confusion Into
No Benefit Whatever to the Confed-
crate Cause.
Cavalry riding" said the major, us
exciting, but very eXhausting business.
Long distance raids in an enemy's
country can be made only where there
are good many horses. John Morgan
could never have made his raid
through Indiana and Ohio in 1868 if
the counties raided had not been well
supplied with the best horses in the
west. When he started from the Cum
berland river. in east Tennessee, Nor
gan believed that he would sweep
everything before him and that, if
properly supported, he would capture
Cincinnati.
Morgan, with a well organized bri-
gade" Of cavalry 1000 strong, swept
northward from the Cumberland river
Brandenberg, 40 miles below Louis
VILE There he captured two steam
boats, crossed the river, swept through
southern Indiana, galloped around Gin.
cinnati, not more than ten miles from
the city, and then moved eastward,
expecting to cross the Ohio river at
Burlington. but was driven back, made
another attempt at Wellsville, but was
finally captured at New Lisbon.
This was the most remarkable raid
Of the war. 1t carried panic and con-
fusion into Ohio and Indiana, but in
results it was Of no benefit whatever
to the Confederate cause. Morgan be-
lieved that there would be an uprising
in the Confederate interest in Ken
lucky. There was not. He believed
that the peace Democrats in Ohio
would give him at least secret support,
but when his men stole the horses Of
the peace Democrats the latter Joined
the ranks of Morgan's pursuers, and
before the raid was half over the
whole state was aroused, and men
who had taken no interest in the war
previous to that time shouldered their
squirrel rifles to fight the raiders who
were stealing their horses and carry
ing the horrors of war to their very
doors.
''There was hard riding oil the time
for Morgan's men. They left behind
them a wreckage of broken down
horses. They kept ahead of their I'm
ion pursuers simply because they stole
horses right and left and remounted
the men, but they were finally captur-
ed. and that fall Ohio gave the war
party the largest majority in the his
tory of the state up to that time. In
fact, the Morgan raid, by carrying the
war into the peaceful districts Of In
diana and Ohio, provoked a furious
feeling Of resentment, which influ-
enced people for 20 years.
"The comedy of the raid was fur
nished by the people Of the districts
wholly unused to war, wholly unpre-
pared for it and with exaggerated
ideas Of the ferocity Of Morgan's men.
For two weeks it was only necessary
for some mischievous boy to shout,
Morgan is coming! in any village in
central or southern Ohio to create a
panic. know that many Of the raiders
after Morgan got no rest night or day,
slept in the saddle, and not few of
them fell off their horses in sleep. At
the end Of the raid they were as ex-
hausted as Morgan's men, but with
more difficult task to perform they

who have grown accustomed to his
efficient service will be glad to know
he is still where he can wait on them.

where she has taught several terms.
The people have learned that it is
better to keep one teacher long time
when they give as good satisfaction
as she has for they are acquainted
with all the pupils and can do better
work.
Last Saturday the people OF Kim
ballton were startled by the alarm of
fire and soon crowd was gathered
around Peter Bertlesen's blacksmith
shop where smoke was issuing from
the root. Soon, however, they had
the fire out and no harm was done.
This shows the need of the water
system.
Two men from Elkhorn were up
around the Sharon creamery last week
looking up the chances for store.
There is no better place in the whole

The Kimballton school closed last
Friday after a very successful term.
Mr.. Rasmussen, as principal of the
school, made an excellent teacher and
gave good satisfaction. Miss JENNIE
Grumstrup as primary teacher gave
universal satisfaction and is teacher
of rare ability. She closed her school
with nice little entertainment that
pleased all her pupils.
There are three aspirants for the
postotfice at Elkhorn, each one well
qualified and able to perform the
duties of the office and each one conf
dent of success is doing that which
they feel sure will bring them the

OUR AWFUL PENSION OUTPUT.

In the course of a speech recently delivered be-
fore post of the Grand Army of the Republic, in
Ohio, General Grosvenor, member of the Federal
House of Representatives observed: ave have paid
more money for the benefit of the soldiers since the
close OF the of 81 than all the nations of all the
earth ever paid in all the history since the morning
stars sang cgether for JOY"
This is a somewhat poetical way of stateing an
astounding fact which may well arrest the attention
OF the country. We are now paying and have been
paying for years back at the rate of half mil
lion dollars day for every working day in the year
to the pensioners, and it is not enough to satisfy
This vast treasure goes to men who were brave and
worthy soldiers and made honorable records in the
army; to many unworthy soldiers; to deserters; TO
camp-followers who never smelt powder, to widows
who married veterans on the edge of the church
yard just to get widows pensions. In short the pen-
sions scattered, like the rain and dew of heaven
upon the just and the unjust alike
The present head of the Pension Bureau H. CLAY
Evans has done reasonably well in adding names to
the great roll of pensioners Since July /, 1900
AZ 600 names of pensioners have been added besides
5O68O certificates for increased or rerated pensions
and 81, 900 certificates of oil class
IT would appear to the man who is on the out
side who does not receive pension check each
quarter, and is not applying for one that this shows
reasonable degree of activity upon the part of the
Commissioner of Pensions And yet his performance
does not keep pace with the expectancy or the de-
sres Of the Grand Army. The cry is for more, more,
and there is serious complaint against the Pension
Commissioner in not being sympathetic and active in
extending aid to the veteran, his widow. his sister
and his cousin and his aunt
There is one way of giving satisfaction and
siencing every clamor, and perhaps only one way.
That is to award original pension to each person
who can show that he votes the Republican ticket.
This would put it in the power of every citizen to
get pension. 1t would establish the Republican
party in power upon 80 firm Foundation that there
would no longer be any danger to the gold standard
The rains might then descend and floods might como
and winds might blow and beatupon the standard, but
it would not fall The trusts and tariff barons would
no longer have to put up campaign funds to pre-
serve the honor of the country. The colonial policy
would be as safe the gold standard and the tariff
wall would be mpregnabe. If the President should
want to break the record and have a third term it
would only be necessary for him to say So Why
should such an opportunity be lost?
