STORY OF JENNIE wAID.
How Manchester Mans Sister Did q
Brave Thing.


Few people are familiar with the
thrilling story Of Jennie Waid, sister
Of James Waid Of Manchester, this
county. The Woman's Relief Corps
Of Iowa has enlisted its services in a
project to erect monument in honor
Of this girl heroine, .whose'brave acts
in the days Of the Civil War at the
battle Of Gettysburg deserve to be
held in memory by the young people
Of today. At the time Of the historic
conflict on the Gettysburg field Miss
Waid was barely twenty years old.
She was entensely patriotic, and had
she been boy she would have enlist
ed as a soldier. This being impossi-
BILE, she waited for chance to do the
next best thing. When the Confeder-
ate troops invaded Pennsylvania, and
the battle began, Miss Waid was not
long in finding the opportunity she
longed for.
The boys in blue on the firing line
were in need Of water. Added to the
other horrors Of battle the supply OF
drinking water at the front gave out,
and the soldiers were suffering in
tense thirst. Procuring twopails, Miss
Waid filled them at well some dis.
tance away and asked to be allowed
to 90 to the front with them. Officers
told her she must not do 1t, as 1t
meant almost certain death; but she
persisted, saying that she might be
the means Of saving many lives and
helping the boys in the fight.
She refused to be thrust aside, and
made her way to the firing line. Sue
cessiul in her first attempt, she spent
the first and second days Of the battle
in carrying water and helping to
nurse the sick and wounded. No SOL
dier on that field was more fearless
than she, and the value Of her assist
ance cannot be properly estimated in
words.
On the morning Of the third day a
shot came which ended the brave life.
Miss Waid was gathering sticks to
heat brick oven, to bake bread for
the soldiers. She had been thus en-.
gagged only few minutes when a bull
let fired by Confederate sharp-shoot-
er pierced her heart. She died almost
instantly.
That evening she was borne ten.
derly to her grave by the soldiers for
whom she had done so much. They
chose for her q coffin which had been
intended for colonel who was killed
in the conflict. The hardy soldiers
dropped tears OF sorrow on the casket
as they lowered 1t into the ground,
and all the military honors possible
In that battle hour were accorded to
her.
For thirty-seven years her grave
has been marked only by small
head-stone. On Memorial days the
Grand Army men have been 'accus-
toned to place q flag in the midst Of
flowers over the spot. Now the good
women Of Iowa have resolved to erect
a more fitting monument to the mem
ory Of q girl who in bravery and love
Of country was the equal Of any SOL
der in the ranks at Gettysburg.

Only the presence Of Mrs. Hoffman
and Mrs. Case and the marshal who
escorted her to the depot last night
in Enterprise saved her from hard
treatment. As it was her dress was
spattered with rotten eggs that were
thrown from the darkness.

She arose early, went to a restaur-

crowd until train time.
H. W. Lash, a jointist, came in and
she advised him to quit business.
"My place is locked up" he said,
"and my liquors are not for sale. l
will pour them all out"
"Good man." she exclaimed, my

ously hurt, it was exciting. At 900
she held a church meeting with forty
women present, and then started for
the one remaining joint. A crowd
was in front OF it. She sent word to
the proprietor; "Tell him to come
out or will come in" He came out.
She was endeavoring to convince him
Of his wrongs, when Mrs. Schilling,
the woman who attacked her last
night, came upon her like whill-
wind, assisted by three other women
and Schilling. They pulled hair,
scratched and finally got her in the
gutter with the others on top. Then
some men stopped the fight and all
we're arrested. Several whips in the
hands OF the women were used and
some on the outskirts held rocks.
II heard them yell Kill her, kill
her," said Mrs. Nation, land they
meant to do it. l tell you, there is a
spirit OF anarchy abroadin this town. !"
All we're taken to police court and
Mrs. Nation demanded trial. This
afternoon her case was heard and she
was acquitted, the others being held
until tomorrow on a charge Of dis.
turbing the peace.
"If you will beg my pardon, I'll
forgive you" Mrs. Nation said to Mrs.
Schilling in the court room.
"I'll do no such thing" was the re-
ply.
"Very we'll, I'll send you to the
penitentiary," and tonight she sent
for County Attorney Smith to bring
criminal proceedings against Mrs.
Schilling. She is very vindictive,
and says she will prosecute to the
end.
II am receiving many invitations
to visit towns" Mrs. Nation said to-
night. -Four are already on the list
and | am much encouraged. No, |
will not tell which ones. Liquor sell

they will smash every one worse than
| did here"
The wreckage here was complete,
not whole bottle remaining in the
place. Hundreds Of sight seers were
here today to see the RUNS. Tonight
at II O'Clock she goes to Hope, vii
lage Of 700, twenty miles south, and
says she will help the temperance
women there tomorrow. The town
has two joints. Saturday she will be
in Ottawa. Mr. and Mrs. G. B.
Hoffman, who have housed and up
held her, seem to enjoy the event.
"She is like John Brown" said Mrs.
Hoffman, "and is doing the same
great moral work. 81 is an instru-
ment for good" Mrs. Hoffman ac-
companied her on all her trips to the
town, and had it not been for the
iamily's protection, she would have
Jared much worse.
After long consultation with the
county attorney and sheriff, Mrs
Nation gave up her idea Of prosecut-
ing her assailants and decided to let
the matter drop. She says she has
kilograms offering support at Hope
and will clean out the joints Of that
town.
