The Sensational Creatore.

Creatore, the brilliant Italian band
lead, will be seen at the Opera House
on Monday evening, April 10, with his
large and excellent organization from
the land of sunny skies. and the same
sensation is likely to be experienced
here that kept New York City music
mad and kept Creatore the popular
craze all summer. Nothing like his
personal success has been known in
New York for years. Everywhere he
goes it is the same. He wins every
audience with his personality and sets
them wild over his earnestness and the

A Warning.

To feel tired after exertion is one
thing; to feel tired before is another.
Don't say the latter is laziness-it
isn't; but it's sign that the system
lacks vitality, is running down, and
needs the tonic effect Of Hoods Sarsa-
parilla.
It's a warning, too-and sufferers
should begin taking Hoods at once.

Personal "Reminiscences.

In the fore part of July, 1861, Gen
eral Mcclellan was instructed to arrest
the northern advance of the C~onfeder-
ates in western Virginia. His forces
came upon them and across their path
at Rich Mountain about July 4, where
he found them entrenched on top of
Rich Mountain with three pieces of ar
tillery, and the only road leading to
the top wall, and securely guarded.
McClellan's forces, increased in No
vember, from day TO day, my regiment
the Fourteenth Indiana, arriving on
the evening of the 9th of July, having
made a forced march of three days
from the Ohio river. On the evening of
July 10 hundreds of axes were issued
to the troops. At dark they commenc-
ed telling trees and opening a road
around the mountain to the rear. My
regiment lay at the foot of the noun
tain in plain sight of their works with
| their flag waving in defiance to us, and
every once in a while sending us n
of their cards in the shape of a shell,
All night long these hundreds of axes
in bands of brave and willing workers,
could be heard and the trees falling.
AS day dawned everything was silent,
not a gun fired. not a sound; still the
flag of the evening waved and the
men walking along their works as if to
say Come on if you dare" They had
let one or two men be purposely cap
tured, who informed us that they had
a trench 100 feet long, six feet deep
and seven feet wide, to bury all who
undertook to take their position. Pres

to the east of us and shone out in all
its glory, rejecting against the Confed-
crate works and their men in line of

No act has since been passed by
congress altering this feature of the
flag, and it is the same as originally
adopted, except as to the number of
stars in its union.
In the wal with Mexico the national
flag bore t%wenty-nine stars in its un.
ion. during the wal of the rebellion
thirty-fve, and since July A, 1896, forty
five stars.
