 OF WAR

On September F, 1864. General Sher- man, among other vigorous things, wrote these sentences to the mayor of Atlanta. who had protested against the cruelty of some of his military orders:
 We must have peace, not only in Atlanta, but all America. You cannot qualify war in harsher terms than l will. War is cruelty, and you cannot refine it. Those who brought war into our country deserve all the curses and maledictions a people can pour out. You might as well appeal against the thunderstorms as against these ter rihle hardships of war. They are in evitable.'
 This letter, and another one to Gen. eral Hood, the confederate command er. on the same day. should be care fully read by those who are just now engaged in painting the horrors Of war, whether they refer to General Smiths alleged no-quarter orders in Samar CT to the so-called British cru city in South Africa. Does Represen- tative Sibley, wllo voiced in the house the other day the sentimental! view. labor under the impression that the American people nave so quickly for gotten what war is? Certainly the At lanta incident is remembered.
 General Sherman had warned it's ncn-combatants to leave their homes. to abandon their property and move from the city. The mayor and the confederate military commando pro tested vohemenuy that this involved untold human suffering. but Sherman answered as above and insisted that his orders should be carried out.
 Abundant citations have been made in the Sun from time to time showing other stern measures adopted by both Grant and Sherman to compel the con federates to lay down their arms and sue for peace, but it has been denied by Colonel X. K. Mcclure that . for nal order for retaiiat0ry killing by either side was carried to extremity during the civil war. although the in- itial steps for such retaliation were often taken. He is in error regarding the matter, as enc instance will prove.
 It occurred in 1S61. and the machin- cry of death was set in motion by Gen erai W. g. Rosecra.s, undc- the gen. eral authority of order No. 100. so much quoted recently. Rcsscrans act- ed upon the urgent pressure oi General Thomas Ewing. Both Rosecrans and Ewing were subsequently prominent democratic politicians and high favor ties at the south. The story in detail with the official orders. is as follows:
 During Prices raid into Missouri in the fall of 1864. Major James Wilson and six Of his men of the Third cav airy, Missouri state militia, a Union organization. were captured in d fight at Pilot Knob. Wilson vas an able and brave officer. who had distin- guished himself in the southern Mis- souri guerilla warfare. and endeared himself to his superiors. He was a conspicuous man who had risen from the ranks and was corTespondinSiy hated by the confederate partisans.

 Lieutenant Colonel Gustave Hein- richs. Forty-frst Missouri infantry. superintendent and inspector of mili- tary prisons was charged with the eX- ecution of Colonel Darr's order.
 Such was war in 1S61-e5 in the Unit cd States This was not murder but deliberate official retaliation But the six men killed were guilty of no crime other than being soldiers in the same cause with the ruf1ian, Tim Re vers himself escaped punishment though great efforts were made to eff feet his capture.
 No confederate major was shot in retaliation tor Major Wilson. But Colonel Darr quickly set his claws on Major Enoch O. Wolf, one of General Marmadulles officers. who was ordered to be shot on Friday. November Il. and meanwhile was put in heavy irons.
 On the day he was taken out and notified that he was to be shot for ReVers' crime. Major Wolf wrote q strong appeal to RosecTans. protesting against the cruel order. He spoke Of this notorious bushwhacliing Tim Revers'' and suggested that if Rose crars would state the case to General Price and demand the giving up of Revers for execution, thit it would be done in all probability.
 Major WoIf's singular appeal was dated McDoweil prison. St. Louis. Mo-. November S, 1861, and closed as fol- lows:
 T think these steps should be taken i before you go further 1 ask it as a soldier. as l asked it as gentleman. l asked as an officer. I asked as q member of the Mason fraternity. Ez- cltse my bad writing. Yours with re- spcct, F. O. WOLF. Major C. S. Army somehow the case of Wolf came to President Lincoins notice before | Darr's shooting squad got in it's work. , The usual thing happened. Mir. Lin coin sent the following order the day rcfore Major Wolf was to be shot: Washington, D. C., Nov. 10. 1S64.- Major General Bosecrans. St. Louis, Mo: Suspend execution of Major Wolf until further orders. and mean while report to me on the case. "A. LINCOLN . In reply Rosecrans wrote q long jet ter. the tenor Of which was an arsu- ment for the death of Wolf. But the president would not consent to any more deaths for the Wilson massacre, and on February 24. 1S65 Major Vol: was sent to City Point, Va. for OK change. He had a narrow escape.
 This is only one instance in proof Of Sherm2n's characterization of the fearful nature of war. There were others. Speculative war call be made glorious. even a sentimental business, but practically it is exactly what Gen eral Sherman bluntly called it-hcIl. Wherever it may be going on-in South Africa, in the United States or in the orient-it always bears the same ear marks. It is business from the word go.-Leslie J. Perry in New York Sun.

London, July 30.-The prepara

1t has now been decided that the
whole route over which the royal

thus forming a carpet which will
reduce the vibration Of the We

route. Otherwise the original
rigid police regulations will be

ONLY A SCENE.
Momentous to Them But of Pas
sing Interest TO Others.

An erring wife, a forglving hus
band, aud the city police were tue
characters in a drama Monday
night, which but for It's happy
conclusions would never have
been mentioned in print and even
now no names viii be given
They we're from the country
and had been married only a few
weeks. Even in that short time
she had begun to dream of a life
beyond the little home, be-
yond even the great prairie, and
had became convinced that she
was weary of it ell. SO when a
quondam lover cams by she was
induced to visit neighhoring
city, ostensibly to have some den
tai work done. She was joined
by her tempter and together they
started into the world
The defrauded husband heard Of
the elopement, hurried to the city
aud followed the guilty pair to
Uhlckasha. The city was searched
in vain and then the husband en-
listed the help of the police and
newspaper. The runaways were
soon located in another town,
but the husband was prevailed
upon TO remain in Chickasha
while deputy officer went after
the two.
The eally morning train on
Tuesday brought in young wo-
man scarcely more than a child.
She was not pretty, but the hush
of innocence had not faded nor
had the downcast eyes lost their
native modesty. She was alone.
An officer met her, called her by
name and asked if she was ready
to 20 home. She did not appear
surprised and answered that she
wanted her husband. There were
tears in her eyes then and deep
note OF repentance in her quiver-
ing voice. The officer hurried to
the hotel where the husband was
waiting. A quiet, sensible talk
resulted in bringing the husband
and wife together, one lepentant,
the other relentant.
They have gone back TO the
little home aud will make another
effort to find contentment if not
happiness.
A city police is not always a We
hiele for for vengeance, as some
suppose. The mantle of mercy is
often thrown over the blue, and
pity often holds the baton.

The lot sale shows pretty ac-
curately the estimate put by IN
vestors upon the future of the city
and a comparison with the sales in
other territory towns places
Chickasha a long way in the lead.
A large proportion of ours are
25-foot lots, while at Ardmore.
the only town approaching Chick
asha in SIZE or importance, the
width is usually so feet. In
Chickasha there were for sale
about twothirds as many lots as
in Ardmore and yet the total for
Ohichasha exceeds the Ardmore
sale by three thousand dol
lars.
The Total cash received in
Chickasha was sl1.sS2.7O. This
amount is little more than 10
per cent of the sale price, as three
purchases paid in full aud a
few paid % per cent at time Of
sale. The last days sale brought
in Sc, 900 in cash which was stated
by one Of the commissioners to
have been more than double the
amount of any one days sale at
any other town.
It is commonly said at Ardmore
that buyers were wild in the bid
ding. In a few instances in
Ohickasha lots did sell higher than
adjacent lots we're held by the
owners, but there is vast differ
ence between paying % per cent
cash, with long time without in
terest on the remainder, and pay
ing all cash, as most owners
would demand.
