 While the OregoniIn admits that lt ls not known who Is behind the propO- sltlon, lt s5ys there seems to be sufficient money available for immediate purposes.

all other men he could read the
thoughts and enter into the feelings
and sympathies of the common peo-
pie, and in his own great sad heart
he carried the burdens and sorrows
of his countrymen until he wrought
out the nations freedom and sealed
it with his blood"
Relating Lincoln's order to Grant
that jefferson Davis was not to be
captured, eX-President Martin con-
tinued:
1.-The sequel showed that General
Grant in his prophecy was not mis-
taken. In n few days the rebellion
did collapse. Richmond was taken
and Davis and his cabinet were fugi-
tives. The civil war was ended. The
patient man who had suffered the
pains of a thousand deaths was now
in the full sunshine of popular af-
lection. BY slow and painful steps
he had climbed from the foot of the
ladder to the topmost round. Enc
mics no longer denied, friends no
longer questioned, his ability. He
had saved the union, given freedom to
race. Even Mr.. Lincoln HIMSELF
was happy. His face, always sad in
thought or repose, kindIed with re-
newed life. His tall, bent form
Strengthened; mis- whole being seemed
transformed as if conscious that the
great purpose of his life had been ac-
complished."
Describing the scene that followed
the announcement of the presidents
assassination, the speaker said:
Business stopped, merchants closed
their stores, professional men their
offices. Mechanics left their shops
and farmers their plows. Men gath
cred in groups. The flags of victory
were hauled down, while emblems OF
mourning took their places. Bells
which yesterday rang in triumph
tolled in mourning for the dead.
''Men forgot that they had ever
doubted or despised him. They saw
only the simple. noble outlines
along which he had always worked
how completely he had sunk every
personal and partisan feeling in his
efforts TO save the union"

Big shrinkage in Value.

There appears to be a big shrinkage
in the value of the transport Grant.
which has been offered for sale at
San Francisco. or else the government
paid for it more than it was worth.
The government bought this steamer
in 1898 for 100000. \ few weeks ago
they discovered that, notwithstand-
ing it had undergone many repairs,
adding considerably to the price
above named, it needed new
set of boilers and the government of
fered il for sale. The best bid which
the government has been able to re
ceive for the transport is $51 900.
y shrinbage of 100000 on a $51 900
steamboat is considerable. and il
looks as though the government had
been done up in the purchase.

1t is through the bowels the body
is cleansed of impurities. Constipa-
ton keeps these poisons in the sys-

melancholia at first, then unsightly
eruptions and finally serious illness

Little Early Risers prevent this trou-
BILE by stimulating the liver and pro-
mote easy, healthy action of the

Rayapes or Roer War.

According to the American Hospi-
tai. 5,776 officers and men were killed
in action, and 2,019 died of the wounds
which they received during the boer
war. The deaths from disease
amounted TO 1929, and these figures,
large as they are, compare favorably
with those of preceding wars. There
was high proportion of officers
killed and wounded, and high death
rate from disease among privates.
In action one officer was killed to
every 1915 men, and one officer was
wounded to every 11.34 men. But of
those who died from disease, only
one in every 3S.5 men was an officer.
This is partly accounted for by the
recklessness with which the men
drank polluted water. The number
of invalids sent home during the war
was about 10000, and of these more
than 5000 died or left the service.
The vast majority, of course, were re-
stored to health
The financial cost of the war, will
foot up about 81. 100000, 900. This, ac-
cOrding to the Golden club, is suffi-
cient to establish so universities,
while Oxford and Cambridge are in
desperate need of money. If one

TENDERNESS:
WRITES FOR DYING SOLDIER

Indianapolis Journal: As n part of
the memorial services in Broadway
Methodist church. eX-President j. IL.
Martin of Moore's Hill college. Sunday
night delivered his lecture on "Abra-
ham Lincoln" In simple, forcefuI
sentences he portrayed Lincoln the
man and president. He told with elo-
quence the story of Lincoln's early
life and struggles; of his achieve
ments as lawyer; of his historic de-
bates with Douglas and of his dra-
matte political career. with its tragic
ending.
NO story. of Lincoln" he said,
would be complete without some
mention of his tender, sympathetic
nature. y man of great physical
strength and moral courage, as well
as firmness of will, he had all the
gentleness of a woman.
His heart and sympathies were al
ways with the common soldier. 1t
was General Butler, / believe. who
gave an account of the presidents
visit to a hospital. As he passed from
ward to ward, stopping long enough
to speak a word of cheer and com
fort to each poor fellow as he lay on
his little cot, he finally came to a
boy who was evidently dying.
MIR. Lincoln sat down by his side,
and asked the dying boy if there was
anything he could do for him. 4 wish
you would write to my mother was
the feeble answer. And the president
wrote it down, signing his own name.
when he read the letter to the
boy, and came to the closing SEN
tence, This letter is written by Abb
raham Lincoln the poor fellow look
ed up and said, Why, is this our
presidents
MFR. Lincoln answered, Yes, and
now that you know who 1 am, is there
anything more that / can. do for
you?' The dying boy answered,
Nothing more unless you hold my
hand and see me through
''And so the great president sat by
that humble cot, and with big tears
rolling down his face, he held the
trembling hand of that dying boy
until the spark of life had fed.
Search the annals of history and
you will nowhere find n more beauti-
full, tender utterance than his letter
to Mrs. Bixby of Boston, who had
given five sons to her country. This
letter was written in November, 1864.
at time when the angel of death
had visited almost every household in
a stricken land, and it was even then
lowering over the president himself.
1t begins:
my Dear Mrs. BiXby: 1 have
been shown the files of the war de-
partment that you are the mother of
five sons who have died gloriously on
the field of battle. i feel how weak
and fruitIess must be any words of
mine which should attempt to beguilc
you from your grief for loss SO
land yetN cannot refrain from
TO you the consolation that
may be found in the thanks of the
republic which they died to save. I
pray that our Heavenly |
Father may soothe the anguish of |
your bereavement, and leave you only |
The cherished memory of the loved |
and the lost, and the solemn pride |
that must be yours in having laid
so costly sacrifice upon the altar of
freedom

Lincoln lies in the fact that beyond
