Jul, 81. 80, BACK TO DIXIE !

on July II. and Lee stood at bay be
hind earthworks. Lee had but few
rounds Of ammunition for his guns and
every one of his regiments had fought
In the thick of it at Gettysburg. Meade
had plenty Of everything and his fresh
divisions, which had not fired a shot at
Gettysburg, outnumb ered the battered
battalions Of Lees army. Meade recon
no1tered on the 18th and 18th, deciding
to attack on the 18th. Meanwhile Lee
constructed bridge for his trains, the
waters fell at the fords and the 18th
saw the Army of Northern Virginia on
sacred soil once more, with everything
saved except what Fitzpatrick and Bu-
ford had snatched from the column in
the mountain passes.
Early on the 18th, while Lees ad-
vance was crossing the river, Clusters
brigade Of Michigan troopers rode up
on the rear guard covering the BRIDGE
General Pettigrew's brigade lay in
bivouac behind q series of detached
earthworks. Worn out with fatigue
and marching, the Confederates were
asleep when four companies Of the
Sixth Michigan moved up with eau
tious tread. General Heth saw the
danger and aroused the men. But the
Wolverines lost no time in making for
their prey. Two companies deployed
at gallop as skirmishers. and B and
F, under Captain Weber, dashed with
drawn sabers through the intervals of
the works.
At the first surprise the Confederates
In the second line grounded arms. but,
seeing their assailants only handful,
thought better Of it, seized their mus
kets and opened fire. Captain Weber
and Lieutenant Bolza, with twenty five
of their men. were shot dead in their
tracks. Then Michigan boy in the
front rank brought down General Pet
tigrew, one Of the heroes of Gettys-
burg, with shot from his revolver.
Pettigrew was one of the brightest Of
Lees brigadiers. He had been wound
ed at Gettysburg on July while lead
ing Heth's division in its fight with
Reynolds corps northwest Of the town.
His brigade Of North Carolinians
charged on the left of Picketts line in
the final assault and carried it's ban
ners across the famous stone wall near
the Bloody Angle" Had Weber's
charge placed a regiment hors de com.
bat it would not have damaged Lees
army more than did the death of Pet
tigrew.
The exact figures Of the casualties
In Weber's charge have never been
made out The Confederates declared
that all but three of the Michigan
troopers who entered their lines were
killed. Two companies, or perhaps
parts only OF companies. rode in Web
er's squadron. At least one in three,
possibly one In two. Of the troopers
was slain. When the Light brigade
rode back from the jaws Of death it

on a long promised visit, and She and

1t was late in the summer, nearing the
end of September. IL Mollie Armstrong
was thinking regretfully that in another
week she would nave left the gay little
seaside resort where she and her father
had come for a change, and be back once
more In the quiet rectory at home.
This morning, having left her father
busy over his correspondence and having
no definite plans to put into execution,
Mollie stroiled down to the beach, ana,
seating herself on a breakwater. idly
watched the waves coming in.
Presently q tall young man sauntered
toward her.
Good morning. Miss Armstrong" he

the smile nor guess at her thoughts. She
was thinking what a flirt he was. and
wondering how much or how little his
heart was touched This time. She came
to the conclusion. it was just as well she
had hitherto declined to take his atten-
tipn seriously. Only a few days remained
now before her departure, and Mr.. Matt
land had constituted himself her devoted
cavalier for several weeks. but In spite of
compliments and attentions he had spoker
no word that could be construed into a
definite declaration. And yet his whole
bearing towards her was such as might
easily have justified her in anticipating
one.
Thu last day of her visit to Beachy-at-
Cliff came all too soon, and Mollie felt
some little curiosity as to whether Malt
land would make any effort to try to see
her In the future. or at least to write to
her. The morning drew on to afternoon,
and he arrived at the station to see her

Crop Proves to Have Come From See,
a Boy Planted.
Stray Stories: Some time ago there was
a wonderful story in the European jour
mails about certain grains Of ancient Egyp-
tian corn which had been planted in Ger
many and had come to life.
h grains, they said, had been found in
an Egyptian s-arcophagus and had been
planted by a Dresden florist. Some days
later the corn appeared above ground,
much to the surprise of scientists, who did
not uppose that there was any life in
grains which were from 1900 to 5000 years
old. The corn, however, was certainly
growing, and even the most ~incrcdulous
among them soon became convinced tina
grains a y a lease of life to which there
is practically no limit.
Alas. A boy employed by the Dresden
florist has now confessed tina he planted
some other grains in the same place where
his master had planted the Egyptian ones
and only a few hours after the florist com
pletea his work. This was sad news for
the scientists and for the numerous Jour
nalists who had written enthusiasticalIy
about the miraculous qualities of the an.

his keen regrets" Bending a look on
Irene. he saw the blush he had half an

ing words.
The evening passed pleasantly. Noble
played and sang, and Guy Maitland lin
gered at her side as If he asked nothing
better. When, some hours later. Mollie
found herself in her own room she threw
herself into a luxurious armchair feeling
her heart stirred as 1t had never been be-

The next night Charlie and Guy Matt

Charlie seemed markedly pleased to
meet Moll.e again. and somewhat to her
surprise there was no alteration In his
manner to her of n few months back.
Moslie was a little at a loss. for from one
or two chance remarks Irene had let

quarter. But she certainly had no clew
to the fact that Irene had refused Charlie

Our City Daos dbroao

AS we noted in Thursdays Star,
many of the prominent citizens of
Chanutevisited our city on tour Of
inspection. They stayed over till this
morning, when they went to Cotfey-
vile to look over that CITY. There Is
no truth.in the report published In
some of the city papers, that they
came here to induce Mr.. Ellsworth to
build a paper mill at Chanute, and
we suppose thai the story grew out Of
the fact that j. f. Ellsworth was the
prime mover in having the gentle
men visit over here. They were driven
over the city and visited our sugar
mill, paper mill, glass plant, brick
plant and others Of our manufacture
ing establishments. Among the gen.
tlemen from Chanute were John T.
Roe, F. A Paner, w. J. Walker, C. A.
Griffin, G.. w. Gricker aud John G.
Penny, and with them was e. Fl Rick
sIcker, of Coffeyville, who seemed to
have charge Of the refreshment de-
partment. These gentlemen were ex-
ceedingly well pleased with our CITY,
Independence Star and Kansan.
How vain is the glory and honor of
this world. These prominent citizens
of Chanute above mentioned we're
handsomely treated by the good peo-
pie of Independence, and enjoyed
their trip, but who knows John T.
Roe. F. A. Paner or G. w. Croker?
Flow can this be? Did our worthy
mayor and honorable members of the
council get in such condition that
they could not sign hotel register so
their names could be decirhered?

Level Up, Not Down.

The Free Traders of this country
are continually harping upon the
necessity of securing foreign mar
kets, losing sight of the fact that we
are now practically in the possession
of them, and that our hold upon
them is continually growing stronger.
When, during several months last
year, owing especially to the failure
Of the corn crop the year before and
the unusual demand at home, our
exports We're materially reduced,
these people jubilantly pointed to
the fact, aid attributed the falling
off to the baleful effects of a Pro-
tectlve Tariff.
Now, however, that the tables are
turned, they have nothing to say.
In other words, they are always ready
and more than willing to cast blame
upon the Protective principle, but
never disposed to give it the least
bit Of credit
In last June our exports to other
countries footed up to only S8S, 900,
900, but well posted exporters were
not even surprised, much less dis
couraged. They knew the causes
leading up to the falling off, and SIM
ply exercised patience, and already
their confidence has been rewarded,
for the exports in December showed
up at St4S, 900, 600, the highest
