A GREAT CAPTURE.
Clever Ruse by Which Six Yankees
Captured Twenty-Five
COnfederQtes.

"There are a good many stories"
said the sergeant, relates the Chi
cago Inter Ocean, shat escaped those
who made official reports and those
who described engagements or bat
ties. And yet these incidents or cpl
sodes are necessary to give proper
color to the history of some of our
most important battles. For exam
pie, just before Chickamauga, our
brigade moved up to Reeds bridge,
expecting to cross the Chickamauga
there, or, at least, to prevent the con-
federates from crossing. This was
on the 18th of September, 1868, the
day before the battle of Chickamauga
opened.
1--WE arrived within a mile of the
bridge at dark, and our skirmishers
literally ran into McNair's confed-
crate brigade, which had crossed the
river. There were riding in front, al
mounted. scouts, Eli Shields, Henry
C. Swisher, of company H; Thomas
Brown, Joseph B. Shawgo and George
Williston graphic. (Williston, Williams County, N.D.) 1895-1919, 1901-11-07

Workman, of company G, of the
Eighty-ifth Illinois, and Pierce, of
the Fifty-second Ohio. No one sus-
pected the presence of confederates
on the union side of the Chicka-
manga. Shields, who was in the lead,
rode squarely upon confederate
picket post, and was as astounded as
the confederates themselves. He
shouted Halt and one of the John
MES replied: Keep your d-n mouth
shut taking it for granted that it
was one of their own men.
"Shields was called back into the
brush out of sight and hearing of
the enemy; then the little squadron
crept back to the road and picked
up, one after another, % confed-
crates. Among the prisoners were
several belonging to q band, and they
carried their instruments with them.
From these men we learned that
Bragg had been largely reinforced
from Mississippi, and that Long
streets corps was on the. field, or
would be the next day. Here was q
case in which six men captured %
and created no commotion, but
gained information that was of the
utmost Importance to Gen. Rosecrans.
I'm fact, this discovery precipitated
the battle of Chickamauga. Col. Nc
Cook rode over to Gen. Thomas head
quarters early the next morning and
reported that there was confed-
crate brigade lost out there in the
woods, and he would like to be au-
thorized to take it in out of the wet.
Thomas sent two brigades to take
this confederate brigade in out Of the
wet, and these two brigades struck
the greater part of the confederate
army ready for battle. Other bri-
gades were sent, and others and 9TH
ers, and the great fight on the left
at Chickamauga was open. All that
story has been told, but no mention
was ever made in official report of
the six men who rode straight into
that confederate brigade lost in the
woods"

STILL TALKING ABOUT IT.

Bryant, Mo-, Oct. 7th.-The case Of
Mrs. M. A. Goss, continues to be the
chief topic of conversation in this
neighborhood. Mrs. Goss was cripple
for long time with Sciatica, she was
so bad she couldn't turn over in bed.
and for four months she lay on ono
side.
She had tried every thing without
getting any relief, till at last she
heard of Dodd's Kidney Pills. She is
strong and we'll to-day, and has not Q
single ache or pain.
Mrs. Goss says: 81 don't know If
Dodd's Kidney Pills viii cure anything
else or not, but do know they will
cure Sciatica for they cured me, and
there couldn't be a worse case than
mine." ,.-... ....

in marble for future generations.
From an art standpoint Edward is not
an inspiring model, but the selection
of Miss Beveridge for the task from
the hundreds of applicants means that
in the judgment of the greatest art
critics of England in less than ten
years the little Chicago girl has become
the foremost woman sculptor in the
world.
Chicago ability coupled with Chicago
pluck makes a combination not easily
beaten or discouraged.
And this is not the first of Miss Bev.
eridge's triumphs. She has repeated.
ly exhibited at the Paris salon and won
countless medals.
Miss Beveridge was Robins favorite
pupil in Paris, and he always prophe-
sled that she was destined to climb
high in the art world.

will, it seems as if one would always

KUEHNE BEvER1DGE.
Girl Artist who Has Climbed from
the Very Bottom to the Very
Ton in Ten Years.

Ten years ago Kuehne Beveridge, .
young Chicago girl, started one morn
ing in San Francisco by herself and ap-
piled for admission in the clay model
ing class at the Cogswell institute. 1t
wasn't very ambitious class, hardly
more than the usual kindergarten
work, rather to amuse older children
than to teach much art.
But all there was to learn this young
girl learned, and in few weeks far
outstripped her teacher. Then she
started at home by herself and worked
ten and IL hours day in her tiny
studio
A few weeks ago, just ten years after
her plucky San Francisco start, she
was commissioned by King Edward of
England to sculpt his pudgy features

that they thought her old and queer
in the long ago days when they were
themselves children.
Soon after the completion of the
the railroad from Des Moines to AL
bia in the autumn of 1879 the con-
tract for carrying the mails between
post Office and trains at Pleasantville
was let to William r. Robertson, who
on account of poor health had given
up farming and moved into the viii
lage.
| Almost from the beginning his wife
was obliged to carry the mails part
of the time, and soon, her husband
becoming a confirmed invalid, the
task fell on her regularly. She not
only carried the mails but did her
own housework, and, until his death
about three years ago, cared for the
invalid husband. Mrs. Robertson was
born in Clarke county, Ind, in 1880,
being the youngest of Is children,
all now dead except one brother liv-
ing in Indianapolis. At her birth
she weighed only three pounds, but
grew to be strong woman five feet
ten inches in height. Her, mother
was small woman, but her father,
Francis Hutchings, farmer, was five
feet ten inches, and all of his IL sons
and three daughters were tall people.
Lucinda Hutchings and William Il.
Robertson, who had known each 9th
er in Indiana, met again in Iowa and
were married in Davis county, that
state, As years ago, moving to the
vicinity of Pleasantville about four
years later. Two daughters were
born to them, one still living in Des
Noines.
Mrs. Robertson has been mother
to the people of Pleasantville for 40
years, nursing the sick, caring for the
dying, sympathizing with and COM
forting those in trouble.
She has great respect for Uncle
Sam, although he pays her only 500
q year for her faithful services. All
the property she owns is her little
home, worth less than $500. She is
getting feeble now. ''Some days"
she says, "it seems as though I
never could drag myself and that old
wheelbarrow another STEP"

How to Clean Fine Laccs.

At the present time, when lace is
90 much in vogue, the expense of
keeping it clean is quite burden to
the girl with small means. Her bur-
den may be lightened. A simple way
of cleaning soiled lace is to spread it
out on paper, cover it with calcined
magnesia, put another paper on top
of it and press it between the leaves
of book. Leave it for a day or two
and then shake out the magnesia,
when the lace will be found looking
fresh and clean. This is mode of
cleaning which may be practiced on
the most delicate and valuable lace
without the smallest fear of injuring
it.-Chicago News.

After all disagreeable and danger
Gus preliminaries had been arranged
by Farragut and the, naval force, Gen.
Benjamin F. Butler set foot upon the
streets of New Orleans, says Albert
Phelps, in Atlantic. From that day
dates the weary period of oppression,
robbery and ruin which marred for
so long the future of the city, and
left scars upon the public character
which will remain still for genera
tions. The rule of the Spaniard had
been strict, and the hand of O'Reilly
had fallen heavily upon New Orleans,
but wise policy and endeavor for
the public welfare had soon recon-
ciled the people. Had Butler shown
either forbearance or wisdom, or if,
though pursuing course of firm mill
tary domination, he had shown COM
mon justice and personal bravery or
decency, the long succession of riot and
anarchy, bitterness and ruin, might
have been averted, and the recon-
struction of Louisiana might have

TheN insurance companies of the
northwest have adopted what is termed
q universal schedule for rating, thai
will be of considerable interest to the
public. 1t will be applied in all the
cities and towns in which the COM
panies concerned do business. AS
stated the rates will be universal. But
the cities and towns will be given
credit for good waterworks and fire
departments and all measures and
means tending to lessen fire risks. In
regard to individual rates, if there are
defects in the buildings insured,
charges will be made for them. If
the modern methods of construction
of buildings are employed and every
precaution taken to make buildings as
nearly fire proof as possible, credit will
be given. Every risk will be rated
upon its merits.

suggested the council act under the
