Wisconsin Man Killed the Late Presi
dents Horse in Civil War.


From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
One of the best known men Of Ke-
waunee county, Wisconsin, is Ferdi.
nand HaeYers, resident OF Luxem-
burg, and one of the jury commission
ers of Kewaunee county. At the open
ing of the civil war he was resident
Of Louisiana, and following the for
tunes of his adopted State, he entered
the Seventh Louisiana regiment and
served in the Confederate army He
was member of the original Stone
wall" brigade. AT one of the engage
ments in the Shenandoah valley he
was taken prisoner and brought up
North. At the close of the war he
came to- Wisconsin and located in Ke-
waunee county, where he has since
resided.
Mr.. Haevers says that about an hour
before he was taken prisoner by the
Twenty third Ohio. William McKin-
ley's regiment, his command was en-
gagged in a duel with small arms with
the enemy at short range. He noticed
a group of Union officers on horse
back short distance away from him,
and selecting one OF the group who
was particularly finely mounted, he
took deliberate aim. The distance
was so short and the object so plainly
in view that the shooting seemed to
Mr. Haevers like a deliberate murder,
and remembering a remark made by
his old commander that a dismount-
ed officer was as good as a dead one,
he changed his aim, fired and killed
the horse uader the officer.
A few minutes afterward he was
captured and with a squad of fellow
prisoners was marched up by the lit
tie group of horsemen. As they pass
ed in review before the Union officers
one of them spoke up. pointing to Haze
vers, and said:
Captain Mckinley. there is the man
who shot your horse. / saw him when
he took aim
The officer addressed turned and
Iccked at the Confederate.
Are ,ou the man who shot my
horses"
Haevers replied:
y don't know. but il l am you may
thank God shat l did not shoot you
instead of the horse"
The dismounted officer retorted:
Yes, my friend. but it was very
good hcrse."

MILLINERY OPENING AT THE BOOTH BENTLEY CO.'S.
 This week Thursday, Friday and Booth x Bentley Co. will be the Mecca
 for hundreds of ladies who will be | eager to inspect and purchase the de- lights in feminine headgear which
 this firms capable representatives
 have provided. AS last year, the mil linery department is in the hands of
 the talented Miss l.. E. Spatcher, who has recently returned from a five l weeks stay in New York. While re- turning from the South Miss Spatcher
 had the pleasure of inspecting the fall styles shown by the big wholesale
 houses in Baltimore. She has the
 assistance of Miss Vera Jeffries, who
 is we'll and favorably known to New | Milford ladies. The materials of this season are rich in colOring and texture,
 They are not striking in loud sense,
 but are quiet and we'll in keeping with
 good dressing. The different velvets l will be all the thing, especially the | new paOn. Felt is also one of the pop | ular things for this winter, and the | rough effects are to be quite smart. Silks and velvets will be combined with
 them. The chenille braids are to be | used in some of the most up-tO-date
 hats, and chiffon, incline and lace will
 appear on many of the others. All of these things are in the stock that is to be shown at the Booth & Bentley Co. $ to-day and tomorrow. In trim
 mingS there is a great choice, and
 wings and breasts of birds will be used on great many of the most expensive
 hats. SeagullS and parrots are the birds that have suffered this fall for the sake of fashion. and their feathers will be on many of the best hats. The Amazon plumeS are the most striking things in the way of trimmings, and one long ostrich flea ather is used to
 make them. This is run around the
 brim, or over the top of the hat, and gives picturesque effect. Roses and velvet foliage will also be used to a great extent in the trimming of the
 most stylish hats, and the ornaments will be of gun-metal, steel and rhine StOneS. The round and fiat cabachon
 is the latest thing in the way of Orna-
 ment, and will be all the thing on the
 most expensive hats. Everyone will
 want to know what shape their fall
 hat must be and there will be general spirit of rejoicing when people find out
 will have to wear to be in style. Nc
 the hats are turned up on one side and
 all are to be worn low on the forehead.
 There are some striking hats in the
 big show cases, but it is impossible tC
 give good idea of them all.
