commander of the Department of New
Mexico G. A. r., was an Indiana SOL
dier. In 1861, when little past IL
years old, he enlisted in company
on the Tuesday following the attack
on Fort Sumpter and was sent to In
dianapons. On account Of his youth
and smaii stature he was rejected and
sent home. Two weeks later he en-
listed in another company and was
sent to another camp at Terre Haute.
where he was accepted and was mus
tered into the three years service with
company F, Fourteenth Indiana volun-
teer infantry. With his regiment he
was in all principal battles of western
Virginia and the Shenandoah valley He,
was with the Army of the Potomac
down to Grants last campaign in the
Wilderness and was severely wounded
at Spottsylvania, Va, on May Is, 1864.
This was just nineteen days before his
three years of service expired and he
was not discharged until June II. 1864,
as he was in the field hospital
After nursing his wound for nine
months he became restless and again
enlisted, this time in the Fourth Unit
ed States Veteran regiment under
General Hancock, for one year. When
Lee surrendered at Appamattox the
command was on its way to the Shen-
andoah valley to cut off his retreat and
in the excitement of the hour the COM
mand was forgotten for some time but
ii was then returned to Washington
to guard government property includ-
ing the arsenal prison where mihlary
prisoners were confined Among them
were those implicated in the murder OF
President Lincoln.
Mr.. Edwa. IS was sergeant and was
in command of twenty men and a cor
poral and on the day of execution was
in immediate charge of the prisoners
The regiment was stationed at var
ious points guarding prisoners and
mastering out volunteer soldiers.
On March 3, 1866. Mr.. Edwards was
mustered out at Columbus, Ohio, after
having served four years and two
months. He went to Kansas, where he
took up a homestead, but on account
of trouble from his wounds he was un.
able to farm. He then went to New
ton, Kas., and went into the mercantile
business and stayed there for twenty.
nine years.
He came here in June, 1900, and
identified himself with G. X. Warren
post.
In December, 1900, he was elected a
delegate to the department encamp-
ment in Santa Fe and at that meeting
in May, 1901, was elected senior vice
| department commander.
In the following December he was
elected post commander of G. X. War
rem post.
He held all the offices of his post at
Newton, Kas., and has attended as del
egate many of the national encamp-
ments and has served on the staff OF
the commander in chief.
Politically he is a republican and in
! Newton served in the council four
years. He was president of the council

ROCK ISLAND.
Absorbed the Louisville
and Nashville.
Wreck on the Illinois Central
Road.
First Move to Fight the Minnesota
Antitrust Suit.
REPORT is DENIED.

New York. April 1.-THE Evening
Post, discussing the situation in Louis
vile & Nashville stock, says:
"All indications seem to point to the
fact the control of the Louisville rail-
way is now so held it can be turned
over to the Rock Island railway. The
matter had not been determined at the
close of business today and facts are
as lacking as they have been since the
excitement in Louisville & Nashville
shares began some time ago. The
opinion In Wall street is in nebulous
condition as to who now controls the
company, but there is a conviction
that control has passed from the Bel
mont interests and John w. Gates has
been factor In the passing.
According to the Post the Choctaw
road was purchased for the Moore in
terests witT Gates as part of the plan
for the Rock Island extension.

Of MAJOR Waller.
MRS. M'KlNLErS PENSION.

Chicago April 12.-After extinguish-
ing ten fires yesterday, most of them
close together and apparently incen-
diary, the firemen of South Chicago, at
daybreak today, were called upon to
extinguish long string of blazes. The
first of this mornings fires consumed
a barn containing several horses. st.
Patrick's church came next and was
DESTROYED before the firemen could
reach it. Scarcely had they reached
the church when they were called to
fight a dangerous looking fire at VIII
lard Sons & Bells forge works. After
a hard fight here the flames were
checked. Meanwhile the warehouse
of the Washington Ice company caught
fire and before the flames were sub
dued, $4,000 damage was done. The
Calumet theater came next, sustaining
$4,000 damage. A four-story structure
having a feed store on the ground
floor and dwellings above was discov-
cred burning before the theater fire
was out. Two families escaped in their
night clothes and the building was de-
stroyed. Meanwhile Nicholas Schroe-
der's saloon was burned down. The
total loss of this mornings fire is put
at $4,000. The buildings were not
near each other and the firemen de-
clare the fires were incendiary. The
people of South Chicago are greatly
alarmed by the work Of the firebug and
a careful watch Is being kept today.
A demented boy, supposed to be a
pyromaniac, Is said by several resi-
dents to have been seen at all the fres.
He is about IL years of age and wears
a red sweater and derby hat. Three
residents say they could identity him
and the police are looking for him.

P0MACE VALUABLE,
Colonel Ingram Makes Demonstration for
Disfilierx


Colonel Charles II. Ingram. revenue
agent. returned Tuesday night from
Washington. During his recent absence
from the Office, Colonel Ingram spent
three days in Madison county where he
directed the operation of q still in that
section, with a view of demonstrating
to its owner the value Of pomacc, even
after the cider has been taken from
it. Colonel Ingram said he considered
his trip most successful, and that his de-
monstration had proven beyond any
doubt what he had long commended con-
corning the value Of pomace. Distillers
often report pomace as worthless which,
Colonel Ingram says is seldom, If ever,
the case. So for tho sake Of proving his
contention. he visited this still and made
liquor from pomace reported spoiled.
The report of a successful raid by rove
nue. officers near the headquarters of
Knox Creek. is Wise county, was received
yesterday morning at the o11co OF Col. IN
gram, revenue agent. The raid, which
was made by Deputy Collector W. NJ.
SleInp, resulted in the capture of one cop
per still, two copper worms, eight fer
mesters, 200 gallons Of beer and five gall
Ions Of corn whiskey. The still was sup
posed to be ths property of Percy Null

'N'lLDC seen IN
EAS RICHMOND /. )
esidents Of the Suburb Much
Excited MI. Rowland
Describes 1t.

s. "A full grown wild cat has invaded the
quiet precincts Of East Richmond on the
the Seven5Pines Electric Road.
s Twice or three times tho monster has
been seen by residents OF East Rich
mond, and once or twice by men of the
electric road.
Mr.. Joseph Rowland Is one of tho resi-
dents OF that community who has been
surprised by the animal, and had his
hair stand on end because of it
Mr.. Rowland says the wildcat is
striped with tho marks Of a. tiger,
weighs about fifty pounds and Is as fierce
looking as anything one would like to
meet in the dark. It was under pecu-
liarlys unpleasant circumstances that Mr..
Rowland got his view of the varmint
1t was late In tho evening in the deep
shadows, and no was alone. The great
t1Scr-lil1e creature ran across his path,
turning grinning countenance toward
him that was studded with long, slender
teeth. Ho was but a few feet away,
close enough to see all this, and, in fact,
much too close for comfort
Others who have seen the wildcat bear
out Mr.. Rowland's description.
The county officials are very much In
tercsted over the appearance of the an
imal. and so much curiosity is excited
by it that they are going to get a party
together for the purpose Of hunting tho
creature down and killing it. The home
of the animal must be in the swamps
that flow into the Chickahominy. The
underground in these is very thick, and
tho opinion of the county officers is that
this is not the only one, but just holder
than the rest,
