An Incident of War.

One of the chapters of General Chat
fees diary deals with the fight of the
big Dry WASH" In the summer OF
1882. n fight the memory of which is
cherished by cavalrymen as one OF the
most gallant displays Of their arm Of
the service. About $50 White Mount
ain Apaches, who had taken TO the
warpath. were on one side of a canon
in the Mogollon plateau. The Kansas
City Star tells the story of an act OF
beroism performed that day by Chat
fee. then n major.
Major Chaffee, with pursuing troop
OF the Sixth Cavalry. held the summit
of a rock hill commanding the en-
trance to the canon. The battle went
on for hours. One of the scouts fell
some two score yards from the spot
where Chaffee was standing. A sec.
ond scout at Chaffee's elbow remarked
that the fallen man was done for. but
the major saw that he was only
wounded.
"Come along" said he, land Wen
fetch him in"
Then he threw himself fat on the
ground and crawled toward the
wounded soldier. The scout followed.
Slowly and painfully Chaffee and his
companion, in the face of concen
trated fire from all the Indians,
worked their way to the wounded
man, and half carrying, half-dragglng
him. brought him back within the
lines.
The handful Of troopers on the rock.
thrilled with the deed that had been
performed. forgot the task in hand,
stopped fighting and began to cheer.
This made Chaffee furious, and he
shouted at the top OF his voice:
stop that noise and go to shoot
ingr'
Thus recalled to the work of fighting
Indians Chafee's men again turned
their attention to their carbnes, and
having been relieved in the nick Of
time by two troops of the Third Cav.
airy they slowly fought the foe to a
standstill. The Apaches, almost to a
man, were killed or captured. Chaffee
was brevetted lieutenant colonel for
this days work, and in 1897 the brevet
became a commission.

American Roads superior.

England, until recently, has boosted
or its steam railroads with scarcely
dissenting voice. But Englishmen who
nave Travelled in the United States tell
different story on their return Al
though English railroads have the adj
vantage of elevated or depressed
tracks, so that they are not troubled
with grade crossings, they do not make
the speed or run punctually as do
American roads. The United States
can set an example to the world in the
successful operation of railways. The
American railroad gives the traveller
more comfort, more speed, better con
nections, and in nearly every partlcu-
lar more value for his money, than he
can get at the same rate on any rail-
road In Europe Post.

WOMEN MAIL CARRIERS.

1t was along this route that the under
ground railroad" of ante-bellum days
ran, and the old stage brought dis
guised slaves to the homes Of Ivory
Colcord and other Abolitionists in the
region of Coleta. After the war there
were several murders along the line be-
tween Milledgevllle and Sterling, the
last one being the killing of George
Kaufman four years ago, of whose
murderers the officers and detectives
have never been able to find the slight
est clew.
The country now Ia. thickly settled,
substantial farm houses and occasional
churches and schools line the route, but
the road Is beset with many difficulties.
The spring freshets swell the Elkhorn
Greek into raging torrent, sometimes
sweeping men and horses from the road
to meet death in the stream. Through
Jordan Township graveled road goes
ever the hills, and the descent to the
pIsins Of Genesee is made on the peril.

WOMEN CARRY U. S. MAIL.
Men Couldn't Do 1t, SO They nave
the Contracts.

the Contracts.
The determination and nerve OF
woman have come to the rescue oi Tue
posta, authorities in supplying cai-
r;or for the United States mail on the
atar route between Sterling and Mill
adyeville. Ill. Mrs. Frank Gi1row, Oh
Sterling, has taken the position as drle-
or of the mail wagon and stage Whlch
makes the trip daily, drive Oh thii.S
miles. The contract for carrying tue
mail over the route was let some time
ago to Chester A. Call, of Algona' H.
and II has been an elephant on MS
hands. A Sterling liveryman was en-
gagged as driver, but gave 1t up ana
then a firm of blacksmiths undertook
to deliver the mail for Mr.. Call. They
lost over a hundred dollars in three
months, owing to accidents ana lack Oh
business on the stage which carries the
mail. Several drivers were hlred TOT
short terms, each finally becoming dis
gusted and quitting.
Then Mrs. Giffrow came to the rescue
and made q contract to deliyel the .nali
for a year for $420, Contractor Call
paying her that price at loss OF $eO
to himself on the contract. On her
first trip Mrs. Giffrow carried large
quantity of ice cream to supply lodge
banquet at Milledgeville. She has Sc
cured a spirited team and new wagon
and will make an effort to build up
the passenger business, which was once
considerable. She has the privilege OF
carrying all sorts of merchandise, ana
has already arranged to deliver milk
for dairyman, but she refused to car
ry jug of whisky to Milledgeville. The
people of Sterling. Jordan, Coleta. and
Milledgeville, the line Of her route, are
confident Of her success where so many
others have failed. Mrs. Giffrow's
husband is a carpenter and she has sew
eral children, all old enough to attend
school while she is making her trips.
Tho Milledgeville star route is one Of
the few remaining stage routes in this
section Of the country and has his
tory Of fascinating interest. In early
days the old stage route from Freeport
to Rock Island was infested by the
prairie bandits" the band of muir
ders and robbers that was broken up
by Detective Bonney and the "Regula-
tors" Of the early '80s. 1t was along
this route that Bonney took the muir
derers of Colonel Davenport to Rock
Island, holding pistols to their heads
as the bandits rode up to the stage and
preventing the rescue of the prisoners.
