Chapter VII.

Chapter VII.
'Tis said that man with latest breath
Betrays the ruling passion strong in
death;
But Rebels, true to country, will
Live till they die, and then-live
still.
How truthful are the foregoing
lines, Heroes more often die un-
known than known. Battles are
won through deeds of valor that Sol
Eddin might envy, and the doers
thereof are seldom named Much
praise is lavished on the brave gen.
erals individually; the private OBJ
tains his collectively, and collective
praise is of no more value to the i'll
dividual soldier than the collective
prosperity of a nation is to the starv-
ing unknown out of employ. Pick
EFT was brave at Gettysburg. He
always was brave; but there were
many hundreds just as brave as Pick
ett on that field whose names will
never be heard in connection with
it and it's bloody history.
In his memorable Grafton at Get
;ysburg Abraham Lincoln said
among other things in speaking of
the courage of the American soldiers:
"Men may forget what we say here
today, but they will never forget
what they done here then" That
this is true of the men in the South
as we'll as the North none will dare
to deny. Nor was this all. In
stance after instance rolls up in our
memory where great deeds were done
under the post trying circumstances,
and yet thg men have long since
passed awa and not even a marker
shows where they sleep in mother
earth.
Since the details of the fighting
has long been told over and over, and
the old sore of the war has been
healing nicely during the last few
years and we do not wish to 60 into
such details as might engeAder strife
and revive bad blood. Therefore l
will take up some of the incidentals
and talk of them at which no one
can find any objection and perhaps
our readers will enjoy the man.

MISSOURI NEGROES MIX.
Start Rough House at Union Station
and Hold UP White Man.

and Hold Up White Man.
A quartet of Kansas City negroes
started things with a high hand at the
union station Monday evening, and
threatened for time to spill consider
able African blood on the station plat
form. After being elected from the
station two of the outfit held up and
robbed a white man, whose name could
not be learned, and finally succeeded in
breaking into the county Jail for per-
iod of fifteen days.
The row, when it first started, seemed
to be of the nature of family affair,
and started in the station lunch room,
when George and Fay Burton and an
other man and woman of the same col
or came in and requested something TO
eat Before they had finished their
lunch Mrs. Burton and the other Wom-
an locked horns over some trivial mat
ter and proceeded to so after each 9th
err with forks. They We're separated
before a great deal of damage was done
and the quartet moved to the waiting
ROOM where the strange Woman's male
companion and Burton began fight.
Burton pulled a big knife and threat
ened TO take his opponents life. They
were compelled to leave the station by
.Janitor Croft and the police called, but
not until after all had left. Burton and
his wife i'm the meantime, succeeded in
holding up white man on South Sec
on avenue. The robbery was witnessed
by Iowa Central switchmen and later
reported to the police. The Burtons
were afterwards arrested in Third
avenue saloon. but no money was found
i'm their possession. As the man robbed
could not be found they We're sentenced
1 To a term of fifteen days in jail by Jus
tlce Clark on the charge of intoNication.

Stranger Succeeds in Getting $40 Out of

to stop payment on a check for $40 that
he had given a stranger Monday fore
noon. He was too late, for the stranger
arrived Monday afternoon, went to the
First National Bank shortly before clos
ing time, secured his money and left to
find another who is apparently as easy
as Mr.. Gaunt.
On the back of the check is the name
of John Roach. Roach is one of those
MISUNDERSTANDING country lads, dressed
something as a farm hand and appar-
entity not over 10 or 20 years of age.

Gaunt he had 500 bushels of good corn
he wanted to sell, and gave him specific

Mr.. j. III. Clary, of Newark. Del,
who was in a critical ondition of health
from troubles extremely common IN
summer time, writes thus about his
marvellous rescue from death:
When I was attacked With nervous
prostration. l went to one of our local
doctors. l continued to grow worse, and
consulted other physicians. but with
very little apparent good. No tongue
can express or pen describe my feelings
and suffering from this terrible disease.
After spending considerable money in
the vain hope of being cured. was led
to try Paine's Celery Compound, and it
is this medicine which enabled HE to
enjoy the health I now have. After the
torture I experienced night and day
for years, the change is wonderful"

that l have never succeeded yet 1t is
about the most difficult job man can

Professor Macy continued: In one of
my experiments l began by giving the

man beings would often prove fatal.
| increased the amount, and kept in
creasing it until gave the dog twenty
grains at one time. He continued TO

not he done. There is record of cases in
which doses as small as one-siNth of a
grain have proved fatal to human be-
ings. The largest dose ever taken, as
far as records show, which did not
prove fatal, was sixty grains. But this
was the most aggravated case of the
habitual use of the drug ever known.
IF you inject the morphine into a
dog death is quick, but in the Lambert

The only positive proof is the discov-

state. OF course, if a man like Profess
sor Davis conducted the analysis there
can be no doubt of the identity of the
drug. The press dispatches do not
state who analysed the dogs stomach
