After the Powder Trust.

]. A. Stransky, of Pukwana, s. Oak,
the inventor and patentee of the Stransky
Smokeless Gun Powder, is evidently after
the powder trust. When he made the dis
covery three years ago he did not have
money to build a factory. so offered to
sell his patent to the powder Sust. They
refused to buy, so he started out to sell
shop rights. The powder sold so well that
he advertised for agents to sell shop rights
and appoint agents. His idea is to get
agents enough to place the powder in the
hands OF every dealer and user in the
United States. For blasting purposes, the
powder has no equal, as it causes no gas
or smoke in the mine, and the miner can
go to work as soon as the blast is fred
instead Of waiting several hours. He
claims that powder can be made for less
than cents per pound, and one pound
of his powder will go as far as two pounds
Of other blasting powder. The same will
apply to his gun powder. Two drains will
shoot as strong as four drains of black
powder. Some of his agents are making
as high as $50 per day selling shop rights.
He still wants few more agents, and
will send full particulars to anyone in
tereSted.

Important Political Deal.

The faction lines of the Republican
party in Wisconsin have been straighten,
ed out very much by an agreement by
Representative j. W. Babcock not to be
candidate for United States Senator,
and permit Senator ]. V. Quarles to have
no opposition to his reelection. Mr.. Bah
cock was very reluctant TO do this, but
Senator SpOoner and his friends persuad-
ed him that it was necessary to his re-
tention of political leadership in the State.
On the other hand, Gov. La rollet is
planning to defeat PostmasterG
Henry C. Payne for reelection as Ma
tional Committeeman, and eliminate the
Postmaster-General from the politics of
the State and succeed him himself. La
FOllet has long look ahead, and con-
siders that it is absolutely essential that
he should get rid of the Postmaster-Gen-
eral who has been in the way Of his own
aspirations.

ised me all the assistance L should re-
quire in the execution of my sad task.
Being completely exhausted, l soon fell
asleep.
Early on the following morning 1 went
to the sutler store, where l mentioned the
object of my errand. Here l learned to
my inexpressible JOY that Leslie B.
Wooster, my already lamented partner and
friend, was alive and well; that he had
been detained at Wise's hay camp on ac-
count of the latter's absence in Tucson,
which precluded the transaction with the
needed haycutters; that Wooster had been
at the sutler store on the previous even
ing and had stated that he would return
to Wallen on the very day of my arrival
at Crittenden.
l therefore returned to Wallen also, later
in the day, accompanied by a small es-
cort kindly furnished me by Capt. Moulton,
1st U. S. Cav, commanding Camp Crit
tenden.
At the very moment that / was ap-
preaching the adobe barracks of Camp
Wallen upon the Crittenden road, / saw
across the creek my friend Leslie Il.
Wooster and party descending the hill on
the MILESTONE road: the last rays of the
setting sun shone brightly upon his hand
some face as he took off his hat and waved
to me a friendly welcome.
What a beautiful sunset that was!
From parties worthy of belief l received
the information that the urgent business
Mr.. Barnes had at Wallen on that day
with some parties from Santa Cruz did not
come off then or ever.
GOVERNMENT CANCELS CONTRACT.
In the month of November, 1868, when
we had the management of our hay con-
tract well in hand and had already deliv-
cred about 80 tons, we were notified by
the A. Q. NJ. of the fort that orders had been
received from Washington to abandon the
latter for good and all, and that our con-
tract was Cancelled from that day. This
caused us great CONSERVATION, as we nat
urally foresaw inevitable financial loss in
the sudden disposal of draft animals, hay
wagons, implements, etc, which we had
purchased at rather high price. However,

at any time. Wooster had a small store
at Tubac at the time, to which one Capt.
John Owen, muStered-Out California Vol
untesr officer, was attending in his alb
sence, his former partner in the business,
one Jos. Carroll, having been killed a
short time previously in the SonOita Pass by
Apaches. This Capt. Owen had been
the Territorial Legislature, which was to
meet at Tucson, the then Capital of Ari-
zona, early in December.
We packed up all our belongings and
started for Tucson, in order to dispose of
our animals, wagons, scythes and camp
equipage. This was my first visit to the
town as a citizen, and l soon discovered
that it was one thing to be fed and clothed
by Uncle Sam and quite another to pro-
vide for your maintenance with your own
purse. BY this time hotel had been es-
tablished in the place, which charged 81

he Desperate Combat on the Union Left.

The fiercest struggle is now for the pos
session of Little Round Top. Standing in
its rugged summit like q lone sentinel is
seen an erect but slender form clad in the
uniform of a Union officer. 1t is Warren,
Meade's Chief of Engineers. With prac-
ticed eye, he sees at Il glance that quickly
seized, that rock-ribbed hill would prove
a Gibraltar amidst the whirling currents Of
the battle, resisting its heaviest shocks.
Staff and cOuriers are summoned, who
swiftly bear his messages to the Union
leaders. Veterans from Hancock and Sykes
respond at '.doublequick." Around its
base, along its sides, and away toward the
Union right, with the forces of Sickles and
Hancock, the gray veterans of LOngstreet
are in herculean wrestle. Barksdales Mis-
sisSippians seize Union battery and rush
on. The Union lines under Humphreys
break through a Confederate gap and
sweep around Barksdales left. Wright's
Georgians and Perry's Floridians are
hurled against Humphreys and break him
in turn. Amidst the smoke and fury,
Sickles. with thigh-bone shivered, sickens
and falls from his saddle into the arms of
his soldiers. Sixty per cent. of Hancock's
veterans go down with his gallant Briga-
diers Willard, Zook. Cross and Brooke.
The impetuous Confederate leaders, Barks
dale and Semmes, fall and die, but their
places are quickly assumed by the next in
command. The Union forces of Vincent
and Weed, with Hazlett's artillery, have
reached the summit, but all three are
killed. The apex of Little Round Top is
the point of deadliest struggle. The day
ends, and thus ends the battle. AS the
last rays of the setting sun fall upon the
summit, they are reflected from the bat
teries and bayonets of the Union soldiers
still upon it, with the bleeding Confed-
crates struggling to possess it. The EN-
battled hosts sleep upon their arms. The
stars look down at night upon narrowing

E. 2. Moore, Editor, has been severely de-
nunciatory of the pretense that the sui
eide in that place was ]. Wilkes Booth.
1t did this in the interests of ordinary pub

the matter it found that the suicide was
one David Z. George, a son of DR.. George,
of Mississippi, and a nephew of Senator
George. George was in 1862 Major on
Forests staff. Forrest was his brother
in-law. After the war he went to Texas,

acterizing the man who was base enough
to claim OdiOus nOtoriety.

II man be willing to figure pleasure as
interest on his money, he may, by invest
ing somewhat larger sum at the out
set, maintain small motor car for CON
siderably less than he can keep horse
and carriage. The figures given show:
Cost of horse and vehicle, $3.50; cost of
keeping, $434. Cost of motor car, $3.50;
cost of maintaining, S341. This gives an
excess of $500 in the first cost of the au-

of maintenance.
A gallon of gasoline will run a light
motor car from 20 to 80 miles, but for the
sake of being conservative estimate the
fuel at FIVE gallons for 100 miles and the
