Tennessee, was sent the proceedings
of the reunion of Col. Dan McCook's
brigade at Chicago in 1900.
After reading the recollections OF
the men on the union side and study
ing the maps made by union officers,
marking positions and the spot where
McCook fell, Maj. Eakin wrote, recall
ing many things that the men of Nc
Cooks brigade had forgotten. Among
these was the story of an officer on
horseback who rode dark chestnut
horse to within ten steps of the con-
federate breastworks, where his horse
was shot. Maj. Eakin and his men
watched this officer closely as he rail-
lied his men after the first repuiSe
and led them in a second charge, and
have always believed that he was Col.
Dan McCook-
Noticing, however. that Col. Nc
Cook was shot at a different point in
brigade at the reunion in 1900 men
toned such an officer. Maj. Eakin
asks, il the gallant fellow was not
Col. McCook, who was he? All the
boys of the Fifty-second Ohio know
that Col. Dan McCook was on fooc dur
ing the charge, and that he was shot
at the top Of the confederate breast
works. 1t is certain that the officer
was not McCook, and no one of ouI
regiment seems to have seen any off,
Ger at the point where Mai. Ealin saw
his man.
Maj. Eakin's letter, however, set
the boys 10 thinking, and S. W. RiIea,
of the Eighty-siXth Illinois. remem-
bers that after our brigade had fallen

PUBLIC HALL FOR DRUNKA2DS
Nien Temperance People Adopt N
Novel Plan for Reform in
Their Town.

Friends of temperance at Kieff have
hit upon novelty-warm, comfortably
equipped halls in three different quar-
ters of the town for persons found in
toxicated in the streets. The police
have orders to carry such persons to
these halls and not to the stations. Each
hall is divided into two sections. one for
men, the other for women. They are
under the control OF doctor, who sees
that the guests" are properly attended
to until they become sober, when they
are liberated. These halls are open to
the public at all hours. the theory being
that nobody but confirmed drunlard
will risk being seen by his townsmen
lying drunk in a public hail. The halls
have been in use a month and have
sheltered intoxicated persons. The aver
age time required for becoming sober
was ten hours.

The loose-bacFed coat is still popular,
