Lees army surrendered to Grant, Water
man got out an I'D cannon, procured
lot of powder, dragged the gun to the
top of hill and began celebrating the
event. After few rounds. had been
fred he grew excited and in ramming a
cartridge into the gun it exploded and
mutilated his left hand to an extent
which required the anputation OF all but
the thumb and index fingsr. When the
wound healed he went back to his cases
and continued typsetting as before.
There were times during our Civil war
and in the Indian disturbances which
followed when he was the only reliable
man on the Daily Journal, and but for
his fidelity it would have been compelled
to suspend publication. When the saw
ages destroyed all means of communica-
ton with our base of supplies at the
Missouri river, printing paper was unob-
tainabe; therefore the proprietors were
forced to search the stores for wrapping
paper. Upon all kinds and colors the
editions came out day by day. Some
times one page, then two and four, ac-
cording to the stock gathered. myself
have waded through snow two feet deep
to procure "feed for the press" while the
redskins held the lines. If there was no
pressman, Mr.. Waterman not only set
the type and made up the forms,
but worked the old Washington
hand press. If there we're no car
riers he went out and delivered
the papers to subscribers up and down
the gulches. If it became neces-
sary to work forty eight, or even sixty
hours at a stretch, he did it without
complaining. When everything else
failed he stood to his duty until the need
passed and then celebrated at the near
est saloon. For many years he never
missed funeral. When death entered
family and the survivors were at loss
what to do, Waterman took charge of
family was ILL., poor and in want, he
gave all the money he had, besides sit
ing up nights for the alleviation of suffer
ing. If the recording angel has kept ac-
count of this mans kindly, generous
deeds, it is glorious page and one rare
ly equaled. What faults he had harmed
only himself There's so much to his
credit we can well afford to set aside as
of no consequence the few blemishes
that appeared here and there. There
are certain scars upon my hands that
form perpetual reminder of the days
when Waterman as striker pounded
drills for me in the old Gregory mines.
Before he became expert with the ham
mer he missed occasionally, when there
was blood and bruises upon my hands.
AS the "miss" hurt him worse than it
did me, seldom swore at him. There
may have been ripper or two now and
then when the hammer came down with
peculiar emphasis, but we will let that
pass. never look at the scars without
thinking of him and his generous, charit-
able soul.
While l hope and pray, in common
with all who knew him as did, that he
will rise in health and strength from the
bed where he is apparently battling with
death, if he falls there will be host of
mourners for poor Press.

The onion Is undoubtedly u whole
some article of food, in fact has many
medicinal qualities of value, but it
would be difficult to find a more indl
gestible article than fried onions, and
to many people they are simply poison,
but the onion does not stand alone in
this respect. Any article of food that
is not thoroughly digested becomes
source of disease and discomfort
whether it be fried onions or beef
steak.
The reason why any wholesome food
is not promptly digested is because the
stomach lacks some important element
Of digestion, scme stomachs lack pep
tone, others 8re deficient in gastric
juice, still others lack hydrochloric
acid.
The one thing necessary to do in any
case of poor digestion is to supply
those clements of digestion which the
stomach .acks, and nothing does this
so thoroughly and safely as Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.
DR.. Eichardson in writing a thesis on
treatment OF dyspepsia and indiges-
tion, closes his remarks by saying, "for
those suffering from acid dyspepsia,
shown by sour, watery risings, or for
natulent dyspepsia shown by gas on
stomach, causing heart trouble and diff
ticTtlt breathing, as we'll as for all other
forms of stomach trouble, the safest
treatment is to take one or two of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each
meal. [ advise them because they con-
tain no harmful drugs, but are COM
posed OF valuable digestives, which act
promptly unon the food eaten. I never
Knew case of Indigestion or even
chronic dyspepsia which Stuart's Tab
lets would rot reach.'
Cheap cathGrtic medicines claiming
10 cure dyspepsia and indigestion can
nave no effect whatever in actively di-
costing the food, and to call any ca
thartic medicine a cure for Indigestion
is misnomer
Every druggist in the United States
and Canada sells Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, ard they are not only the
safest and most successful but the
most scientific of any treatment for in
digestion and stomach troubles.

For some time past Joseph d. Wald-
man has conducted Il millinery store

decided to go to Pittston in the hope
that he would be better appreciated
there. In his haste to leave this city
he overlooked bill for one hundred
dollars he had contracted with Il physi-
clan of the town. The latter placed the
matter in the hands of Constable Mo-
ran and Monday afternoon the officer
caught the accused While the latter was
boarding train ut the Seventh ave-
nue. station Waldman resisted arrest
and taking Moran by surprise struck
him with such force that Moran's
thumb was knocked out of joint. Mo-
ran then used his own muscular force
to advantage and the prisoner yielded
to his demand to go before Alderman
Atkinson. At the plant OF y. Tiffany
Moran went in the Office to telephone
for the prosecuting physician and
Waldman's attorney, II. c. Horton, the
prisoner made Il dash for liberty but
Moran had him before he could escape
Before the alderman the case was
settled by Waldman giving Il note to
the physician. Moran was in favor OF
having him arrested for resisting ar
rest but Waldman apoiGized and the
officer allowed him to go.

"The Fast Mail" Friday.

In speaking of "The Fast Mail" the
Toledo Times of August 10 says: The
formal opening of the season in Burt s.
theatre was most propitious. Though
the weather was certainly not such as
to drive people indoors for amusement,
the house was filled upstairs and down.
1t was like Il Sunday night in the VIM
ter season, when it is really necessary
to come early to avoid the rush. Per-
haps the bill had something to do with
the attendance. The Fast Mail seems
never to lose its popularity. The scenic
and mechanical effects never pall the
steamboat explosion thrills, and the ex-
press train satisfies with unfailing cer-
tainty. This time, in addition to the
stage effects, there are Il number of
clever people in the cast, who thor
oushly pleased the audience by their
good acting and numerous specialties."

AN EVENING WITH
GEN. JOHN GORDON

The Distinguished Confederate Gen
eral and Cultured Son of the South
Fascinated a Large Audience With
His Descriptions, His Pathos and
His Humor. ....-.
AS many of the residents of Carbon
dale as could be seated in the Grand
last night enjoyed rare evening with
General John Il. Gordon. of Georgia,
whose services in the cause in which he
thought was right distinguished him a
brave soldier and an officer of rank,
force and tact.
The audience that listened to this
distinguished son of the South was
fascinated with his interesting manner
of describing the unpublished incidents
of the war: it was charmed with his
personality; it was gladdened with his
wit and humor, and it wept with him
In sympathy when he pictured the aw-
ful struggles and sufferings of the
heroic boys in blue and gray.
General Gordon's lecture, an earnest,
soul-thrilling talk, would be better
with its wealth of description and
pathos and humor, glowed with a pa
triotic fcrvor that warmed the hearts
OF his hearers and made them forget
that the man who talked to them was
once their enemy in arms. What he
said did a good deal to rekindle the fire
OF love of country within the hearts
of all present and it revealed General
Gordon to them as the most loyal of
sons of the stars and stripes against
which he was once alrayed His feel
ing which filled them overran when in
paying tribute to the GLORIOUS boys,
the sons of the men who wore the blue
and the gray who marched in the same
line and mingled their shouts of VIC
tory on the Cuban heights at San
tiago,' he said that his son and
all his srandsons We're volunteers in
that war against Spain's oppression.
Then there was u spontaneous out
burst of applause that came from
every corner of the play house. Here
and there the most beautiful patriotic
sentiments burst forth from General
Gordon, which he expressed with
burning fervor and thrilling force that
struck a responsive chord and filled
his hearers with a patriotic glow that
was radiant
General Gordon's splendid appear
ance-he is the typical fine old gentle
man of the South-his splendid voice
and the reserve force that shows itself,
made him an ideal speaker.
The title of his lecture, "The Last
Days Of the Confederacy," begins with
the battle of Gettysburg and ends at
the surrender of the army of the
South at Appomattox court house. 1t
is not dry dust historical facts tlslt he
presents, but the most thrilling and the
most humorous incidents that came
under his personal observation. Here
in lies the charm of his entertainment.
The audience was most enthusiastic
and gave to General Gordon the recep-
ton that he deserved, The attendance
was the largest for amy entertainment
in the Smith-Singer course.
General Gordon was introduced by
Joseph Alexander of w. II. Davis post,
