Each army had respect for its an
tagonist, and an overwhelming desire
to win.
On the confederate side this desire
to win had been intensified by what
had gone before. Bragg had fought
at Perryville and run away. He had
fought at Stone river and retreated,
yielding all of northern Tennessee to
the unionists. He had been outma-
neuvered at Tullahoma in June and
July, 1868, and had yielded all of south
ern Tennessee without a battle. Two
months later Rosecrans had forced the
passage of the Tennessee and COM
PEELED Bragg's army to retreat from
Chattanooga, which had been pro-
nounced impregnable, and which was
to the confederate line in the west
what Richmond was in the east.
When Bragg had retreated and Rose
Grams elated division had moved on
diverging lines in pursuit, the confed-
crate authorities formed a plan to crush
the pursuing army. Lee was weakened
that Longstreet might be hurried to
Bragg. Troops were withdrawn from
Sherman'S front and sent toward
Chattanooga, and on September Is,
1863, the president at Washington and
the people throughout the country and
Rosecrans at Chattanooga saw that the
Army of the Cumberland was threat
ened with destruction in the hour of
it's greatest triumph.
Rosecrans, confronted with the prob
lem of holding Chattanooga and saw
ing his army, recalled his divisions to
the line of the Chickamauga river, and
had them in supporting distance be-
fore Bragg was ready to strike. On
the night of September IS he shifted
his whole army, anticipating the plan
of Bragg to crush his left and drive
the union army away from Chatta-
nooga

objects aimed at in the construction of
the aeroplane is utility for reconnoiter-

and at sea.
"In its present stage 1t has been proved
quite practical as carrier and support
for wireless telegraph apparatus, for
taking photographs at any given alti-
tude, man-lifting and signaling.
During my recent experiments at
sea it has been conclusively proved that
my aeroplane will fly successfully with
vessel that is going full steam ahead

flying has been achieved on land, with
no more than seven or eight-mile
breeze.

INCIDENTS OF CHIcKAMAUGA
Soldier In That Snngui-
nary Battle.

AT the battle of Chickamauga was
private in the ranks of company G, of
the Nineteenth Illinois infantry" said
Col. Henry S. Dietrich, now inspector
of rifle practice in the national guard
of Illinois, in the Chicago Inter Ocean.
81 was one of the slurmishers sent out
to feel the enemy. At the beginning of
the battle we advanced toward clump
of woods to draw the fire of the south
erners. We had to cross a field covered
with stumps and piles of rails, and p
battery was stationed behind us to throw
shells into the confederate ranks when
ever we should draw their fire.
1--WE had advanced considerable dis
tance when the confederates opened on
us. We took refuge behind the rails
and remained there firing until the re-
call was sounded. The battery all the
while threw shells over us and into the
woods.
"When we were going back after the
recall, missed a young soldier named
Metcalf. Looking back, saw him kneel-
ing behind rail pile. Another soldier
and myself, thinking he must be wound
ed, went back to get him. We found
that short shot from our own artil-
lery had literally blown of the top OF

1868, Bragg, with an effective force
of 1000 men, was ready to attack
Rosecrans' army of $4,000 and was con-
fident that he would not only crush
the union army but reoccupy Chatta-
nooga that day. Before he could at
tack, however, Gen. George II. Thomas,
in command on Rosecrans' left, which
was not where Bragg supposed it to
be, took the initiative and made furi-
GUS attack on one of Bragg's advance
brigades. This movement developed
the confederate position and at the
same time so disconnected Bragg that
he postponed his general attack
Rosecrans, with Bragg's plans re-
vealed, made his dispositions accord
ingly. His men knew they were out
numbered and fought with desperation.
On Saturday night, September 10, the
men of the Army of the Cumberland
felt they had been worsted. In the
hard fighting of the day they had lost
heavily in men and artillery, but they
felt as they went into new positions
that Rosecrans was preparing to hold
fast.
On the morning of the goth the
sore-hearted soldiers of the depleted
union army were hanging like bull
dogs to the roads by which Bragg must
reach Chattanooga, The very flower

Forty years ago, September 20, was
fought the battle that made the name
Chickamauga historic. In the char
acter and number of troops engaged,
in the stragetic maneuvers that pre-
ceded the battle, and in desperate
fighting on the field, Chickamauga was
the great battle of the west, and one
of the most remarkable conflicts of the
civil war, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean.
The troops engaged were mostly vet
Grams. The men of the union army
had fought under Grant and Buell. at
Shiloh, under Buell. at Perryville, un-
der Rosecrans at Stone river, and were
organized in corps and divisions COM
manded by such officers as Thomas,
Crittenden, McCook, Sheridan and
Palmer The soldiers of the several
divisions had the confidence that comes
with long association in campaigns,
and they had also that knowledge Of
the opposing army that came of meet
ing it in several battles.
On the confederate side there were
not only Bragg's veterans of Perry
vile and Stone river, but Longstreet's 8
splendid soldiers of Lees army and
many of the veteran regiments from
the rebel armies that had been op-
Grating in Mississippi and Georgia.

the Attorney Ran Some
what of "A Risk In RetnIiating
on the Judge.

John r. Eldridge, we'll known western
New York attorney, recently had occasion
70 argue case before justice OF the peace
in one of the small towns near Rochester.
1t happened that Mr.. Eldridge and the
justice belonged to different political parties,
had been opposed to each other in several
contests and were far from being on the best
personal terms. Each, to use slang express
sion, had it in for the other" The justice
scored the first point, says the New York
Herald
In a field near the court room donkey
was feeding, just as Mr.. Eldridge was in
the midst of his plea something disturbed
the animal and it broke forth with resonant
bray.
Just a minute Mr.. Eldridge, just min
ute" said the justice blandly. II cannot
hear two at once"
The attorney was hard hit, but he said
nothing and waited his turn. 1t came when
the Justice was explaining point of law to
the jury. Again the bray of the donkey re-
sounded through the court room. Mr.. FL.
bridge placed his hand at his ear.
Would you mind repeating that, your
honor?" he said in his mildest tones. There
was such an echo that could not under
stand"
Perhaps the attorney was guilty of con-
tempt of court, but the general opinion in
the court room seemed to be that honors were
about even.

Cheaper Than stnyinr Mt Home.

The man who wishes to locate in the
Southwest this fall has little excuse for
staying ut home, so far as railroad rates
are concerned. The Santa Fe announces
very low one.way second-cass rates to Call
ifornia--$S3 from Chicago, S25 from Kan
sas City, $50 from st. Louis, and propor~
tlonate reductions from the East generally.
These tickets are on sale every day until
November 30. They are being availed of
by those wishing to settle in the San
joaquin and other great valleys of Cali
tornia, likewise Arizona passengers. The
same line also offers n rate of about half
fare, plus 81, one-way or round-trip, to
the Southwest generally, the first and third
Tuesdays of each month; the last semi
monthly excursion filled every available
car. On October 20 special bargain coun-.
ter round-trip home.seekers' rate is adver-
tised for $40 from Chicago, and SIS from
Kansas City to central and eastern Texas
and to Oklahoma, also So higher to Pecos
Valley, of New Mexico.
The mere sightseer will be more inter
csted in the excursions to Los Angeles and
San Francisco that are booked on the
Santa Fe the latter part of October, ac-
count American Bankers Association. The
rate then, out and back, will be $62 80
from Chicago, $50 from Kansas City,
and similarly reduced from other points.
Anyone may go who has the price in his
pocketbook. Special parties will take in
the Grand Canyon of Arizona, on the

of the confederate army of the east
and west was against them, but they
clung to the roads and gaps between
the enemy and Chattanooga.
Divisions were crushed, charging
confederates ran over the general
headquarters, line of battle a mile
in extent melted away, Gen. Rose
Grams himself was swept from the field
in a rout of the regiments nearest him,
and at vital point in his line, and yet
the bulldog Army of the Cumberland
held on to the roads and gaps.
Assailed again and again, the divi-
sions under Thomas on the left and the
brigades that had been sent to reen-
force him and the regiments, battal
ions and companies that had drifted
to him when their own divisions were
broken up, clung to The roads, even
after Bragg's men were in their
rear.
When night came the Army of the
Cumberland retired to the line of Mis-
sionary Ridge, but it still held the
roads, and it still held Chattanooga.
The supreme effort of the confederates
In the west mad falled or Its object.
The great battle of the west had been
fought for Chattanooga, and after the
tremendous struggle Rosecrans held it.
This was the fact that discouraged
the confederates and gave new cour-
age to the unionists. 1t is fact that
is mppermost in the minds of the sur
viving veterans of Chickamauga to-
day.
There were blunders on that field
There were mistakes of mystifying
character on both sides. But when you
ask an old soldier of Chicago who
fought under Thomas or Palmer or
Turchin at Chickamauga 40 years ago,
Were you whipped?" he answers,
"Well-we held on to Chattanooga, you
know" And that is the answer of his
tory.

Always. always low for YOU!
May their cups be always brimming
With their weight of crystal dew!
May you always be as happy
Through the years that come and go,
As you are here in the picture
Where the morning glories blow!
May refreshing breezes seek you
With a soft refreshing touch!

"Of course. There is still over hun

through a broad, low window to desk,
returning a few moments later with a
crisp note, which she handed him. You
ought to take your wages each month
and put the money in bank, Wilhelm" :"
she said, as she resumed her chair and
picked up the book. "You would be
drawing interest then"
Wilhelm shook his head
"It better like dis. / know who lose

But still he fingered. Evidently that
was not all. The book was again low

But there was a little smile on Mrs

tween its leaves as marker. She had seen
Wilhelm lingering about the kitchen
door very often of late, and had thought
very little of it, But with that glow on
his face, and the eager hesitation in his
speech the situation suddenly be-
came transparent. She gave little i'm
perceptible nod to herself as she waited
for the slow lips to proceed. Wilhelm
was handsome man, and Greta was a
very pretty, capable girl. They had both
been in her employ long enough for her
to fully appreciate their value; and good
servants were hard to obtain. Her mind
skinned over the possibilities quickly
and conclusively. There was that pretty
cottage at the foot of the garden, which
the butler had once occupied. She would
raise the wages of both, and they should
have a weeks outing at some good place
on the seashore, and

Still Another Case.

Franksville, Wis, Oct. l2th.-Many re.
markable cures have been reported from all
over the country, but there is one right here
in Franksville which is certainly worth pub
fishing, and which has not as yet been gwen
to the public.
Mrs. Louis Markison of this place had been
a sick woman for quite long time and could
not find anything to give her any help. She
suffered all the painful symptoms OF, what
is generally known as female weakness.
Every woman who reads her story will under
stand these distressing conditions which
combine to make the lives OF many women
one long burden of weakness and suffering.
Mrs. Markison CHANGED one day to hear
OF new remedy called Dodd's Kidney Pills,
that was said to be splendid medicine for
women's weakness. She determined to trv
some. and soon found herself getting better.
She kept on with the pills and was cured.
Speaking of her case Mrs. Markison says:--
Il can and do praise Dodd's Kidney Pills
as remedy for female weakness. They are
the best medicine have ever known, and
have done me great deal OF good"

only worn out from the days duties.
THE next day, on Sunday, l had my
experience in terrific fighting. Our reg
iment that day occupied Snodgrass hill,
the key to the situation. There we re-
mained until night. To make our po-
sition secure and afford us some pro-
lection, we tore down fences and log cab
ins and built wall just high enough to
hide us when lying down. Immediately
back of us were the cannon. Men still
back of the cannon loaded our guns and
passed them to us, and we reserved our
FIRE for the charges which the southern
ers repeatedly made. At one time
had five loaded guns beside me. When
the enemy would come very close, we
would fire these reserve guns as fast as
we could pick them up and take aim.
The cannon doomed right over us all the
time, and deafened several of the sol-
| diers.
