alton of the army of Virginia, which
was placed under the command Of Gen.
John Pope, Sigel was given command
of the First corps. He was engaged in
the battle of Cedar Mountain.
With Gems. Banks and Mcdowell, he
took an active part in the operations
on the Rappahannock and performed
valuable services at the disastrous
second battle of Bull Run. Carl
Schurz' division held Bald mountain
against many charges of Hoods Texan
troops, in one charge nearly one
fourth of the latter's men being killed
or wounded. Finally schurz had to re-
tire and with the remainder of Sigels
crops effected an orderly retreat.
Soon after these stirring scenes Gen.
Sigel obtained a leave of absence on
account of poor health, but in June,
1868, he returned to active service,
taking command of the reserve army
of Pennsylvania, and he organized a
corps of 10000 men to aid in repelling
Lees invasion. In February, 1864,
President Lincoln placed him in charge
of the army of West Virginia, but after
his defeat at New Market by Gen. John
c. Breckenridge he was relieved, being
succeeded by Gen. Hunter, and sigel
was sent to the reserve division on
the Potomac. He defended Maryland
Heights in July, 1864, against the at
tacks of Gen. Jubal A. Early.

MEN WHO FOUGHT WITH sIGEL
later cstinB War Facts Recalled by
tho Meeting Between Prince
Henry and Carl Schurz.

Prince Henry's overtures to Carl
Schurz at the opera, when he invited
the former revolutionary leader to sit
by him in his box, have called attention
to the fact that Carl Schurz would not
have been able to enjoy the friendship
of Prince Henry had he not fed from
Germany over so years ago, says the
New York Times. In connection with
Mr.. Schurz the name of another promi-
nent German who also had to leave his
fatherland under similar conditions is
recalled, that of Franz Sigel, who is five
years older than his compatriot and
is now living in New York city in his
seventy-eighth year.
After their part in the unsuccessful
Hecker-Strube instruction in 1s43 to
secure greater freedom for the Ger
man states both Sigel and Schurz spent
some time in France and then came
to America.
In the civil war they came together
again, when both took an honorable
part in the struggle. Schurz resigned
an appointment as minister to Spain
in order to enlist in the army, and in
1862 he had command of the Third di.
vision in the corps of Maj. Gen. Franz
Sigel, of the Army of Virginia. 1t was
this army which had the difficult task
of holding "Stonewall' Jackson at bay

Fictitious.

Il.
It is very seldom that we, pay much at
t. the virtue of a patent medicine, as we
have always considered that reports OF this
nature were more or less fictitious and got
ten up for the purpose of creating demand
from the public But the publication in
various papers of the wonderful results OBJ
tanned from using that famous remedy st.
Jacobs Oil, and from the fact that it is
remedy for outward application only, Led
us to make trials of it in our own family.
One. a case of lumbago of long standing
which had previously resisted every form
of treatment, was permanently cured by
few applications Of the Oil. Another was

cured in few days by the use of st. Jacobs
Oil. while for serere toothache and neuralgia
It acted almost ike magic, SO quickly did the
pain depart after the Oil was applied. Our
own experience in using the Oil, as above
indicated. was SO highly satisfactory that
re determined in the interest Of the gen
eral public to make thorough local inves-
<iration among dealers and others who have
sold and used St. Jacobs Oil. Recognizing
Messrs. Taylor and Co. as headquarters TOR
all proprietary medicines, we called at their
Briggate Store, and on making known the
object of our visit to the general Manager,
he stated that their three stores in Leeds
were selling more than thousand bottles
of St. Jacobs Oil every week, and the trade
was constantly increasing--that 1t was the
most popular remedy sold and was highly
spoken Of by everyone who used it. The
Manager said he had heard hundreds OF

were fought, beginning at Cedar Creek
and ending with the second battle of
Bull Run, where Sigel commanded the
right wing and scored decided advan-
tage over Jackson in the first days
conflict. When the union forces were
finally forced back Sigel skillfully COW
cred the retreat to Centerville.
At the outbreak of the war Sigel was
a school teacher in St. Louis, where he
had gone from New York in 1857. He
organized in 1861 the Third regiment
of Missouri volunteers. Sigel soon
became the great rallying center for
the St. Louis Germans, whose devotion
to the union is SO we'll brought out in
Churchill's latest novel, "The Crisis"
He participated in the famous affair of
Camp Jackson in St. Louis, and later
was of invaluable assistance in saving
St. Louis, and with it Missouri, to the
union cause. A little later he and his
intrepid Germans performed such
deeds of valor at the battles of Car
thage and Wilson's Creek that the
young leaders, name became famous
throughout the north, and for Ger
man to say he eft nit Sigel'' was hon
or enough.
The brave Gen. Lyon met his death
at the latter battle and Sigel conduct
ed the retreat from vastly superior
force with such skill that he became
the favorite of his troops and was hon
ored with their highest confidence.
His successes in those trying days of
Missouri were recognized by his ap-
pointment as brigadier general of vol
unteers, and after the battle of Pea
Ridge in March, 1862, he was elevated
to a major generalship.
At this time many war songs and
patriotic sentiments in rhyme appeared
with the eft NIT Sigel'' expression for
the chief theme. One verse of these
popular illusions, describing a typical
Sigel soldier, may be interesting:
The next time saw him his knapsack was
gone,
Els cap and canteen were missing,
Shell. shrapnel and grape, and the swift
rifle ball
Around him and Ger him were Kissing.
How are you, my friend, and where have
you been,
And for what and for whom are you fight
ing?'
He said, as a.shell from the enemys gun
Sent his arm and his musket a-"kiting:''
II fights nit Sigel!'
After Sigel was made major general
he was transferred to the east and his
faithful ST. Louis Germans separated
from him with the deepest sorrow and
reluctance. He was placed in COM

IMPURE BAKING POWDER
SEIZED.

to the River.

The New York papers report that
the Health Department of that city
has seized as dangerous to health
nearly two tons of cheap mixtures sold
for baking powder, and dumped them
into the offal scow to be destroyed.
More of the powder was found in q
Sixth ave. department store. The
report of the analysis Of the Health
Department stated that it was IAN
alum baking powder" containing alum
and pulverized rock.
The different Health Authorities
seem to have different ways of repress-
ing the sale of bad baking powders.
In England they have prosecuted the
grocers under the general law and
broken up the traffic. In Missouri the
sale of alum baking powder is actually
prohibited by law. In New York they
seize the unwholesome stuff and cast
1t into the river, without any discus
sion. The latter way is certainly eff
fective.
The alum baking powders are usual
~ offered at low price, ten to twenty
cents q pound, or with some prize, as
temptation to the housewife.
Consumers can protect themselves
by buying only high-grade baking pow
der of established name and reputa-
tiGn. Do not be tempted by the grocer
to take something else as "just as
good" or "our own brand" for the
trials show that the grocer himself is
often deceived by inscriptions max
ers and is selling an alum powder with
out knowing it.
There are several good powders on
the market; let the housekeeper insist
on having what she knows is right, and
not be induced to risk the life of the
family for an imaginary saving of

off and buried somewhere in the
woods in Mississippi.
"After the war was ended, the

silverware dug up and shipped back
