James Campbell, n Sergeant in the 18th
Tenn. Cav, whose home was in Garter
County, Tenn. Campbell shot from his
horse in the street, distance of perhaps
so yards. Morgan had not surrendered,
and was not unarmed. According to
some he had shot at least once and when
he received the fatal shot was attempting
to shoot again. At this time the main
force of Gen. Gillem's Brigade was still
mile or more from the town; and after
Gen. Morgan was dead the body was
thrown on a horse and taken back for

On being attacked, Morgan's command
retreated and were pursued by Gillem' S
forces about six miles.
The body of Gen. Morgan. after being
dressed and placed in a coffin, was de,

to ask it under flag of truce.
The alleged betrayal is yet to be ex-
planned. The only basis for the betrayal
theory is given by Gen. Duke, which in
substance is that after the arrival OF Gen.
Morgan and his staff at the Williams resi-
dence, the daughter-in-law was seen to
leave, and although parties were sent TO
look for her she could not be found, and
it appeared that she had ridden all the
way TO Bulls Gap to inform Gen. Gillem
of Morgan's whereabouts and the position
of his forces.

Seven years ago the State Of Illinois granted
to the Physicians Institute Of Chicago q charter.
There was need OF something above the ordi
nary method Of treatment for chronic diseases,
something more than any one specialist or any
number of specialists acting independently
could do, so the State itself, under the powers
granted 1t by its general laws, gave the power to
the Physicians Institute to furnish to the sick
such help as would make them well and strong.
Ever since its establishment this Institute has
endeayorcd In every possible way to carry out
the original purposes Of its establishment under
the bcnefcient Laws of the State.
Three years ago, the Physicians Institute,
realizing the value of electricity In the treatment
Of certain phases Of disease, created under the
Superintendent of its staff of specialists an
electric belt. and this belt has been proved to be
Of great value as a curative agent. From time
to time 1t has been improved until 1t reached
that stage OF perfection which warranted Its
present name Of supreme"
This belt is the most effective OF all agents In the
cure of rheumatism, lumbago. lame back, nerv-
Gus exhaustion. weakened or lost vital functions,
varicocele. kidney disorders and many other
complaints.
