Found a Friend.

Valley City, N. Dak., July 27th.-Mrs.
Matilda NJ Boucher of this place tells how
sne found friend in the following words:
For years l suffered with dizziness in
my bead and could get nothing to cure me
till about two years ago when was advised
to take Dodd's Kidney Pills. These pills
cured me before / had used the whole of the
first box, and haven't been troubled since.
I'm January of this year had an attack
of Sciatica that made me almost helpless,
and remembering how much Dodd's Kid
ney Pills had done for me before, sent and
got some and began to take them at once.
In three weeks l was well, and not
trace of the Sciatica left, and have been
well ever since.
'Dodd's Kidney Pills have certainly been
of great benefit to me. have found them
a friend in time of sickness. and l will al
ways recommend them to every one suffer.

ARMY BAND MASCOT
An Amusing Incident of the Civil
War at Chattanooga.
In Which the Musicians of the Fiji
teenth Infantry and Scotch
Terrier Dog Played the
Leading Parts.

On the evening of the second day OF
the battle of Stone River-January
1863,-the wagon transportation of the
regular brigade of the army of the Cum
berland was directed to proceed tc
Nashville. 1t got away early on the fol-
lowing morning under charge of Lieut.
Bailey, of the Sixth infantry, now colonel
on the retired list of the army.
The band of the Fifteenth infantry
among other noncombatant organiza-
tions of the brigade, reported to Lieut.
Bailey under orders to accompany the
transportation.
The road proved to be very rough, and
the jolting of the wagons often made
riding in them less desirable than walk
ing. A number of the men therefore al
ternated in walking and riding, and the
wagons that had been assigned for their
use were in consequence often delayed
waiting for those who had fallen behind
to come up. AS result, the band wagons
soon lost their places in the main col
umn and eventually fell some distance
to the rear. Finally when the band with
its belated transportation reached La
Vergne, little hamlet some Is miles
from Nashville, it was suddenly cut off
by detachment of Wheeler's cavalry,
coming in by cross road, and the whole
concern, from trombone to piccolo, cap
tured bodily.
When the officer in command Of the
confederate troops became aware of the
character of his capture, he at once set
the men at liberty after exacting the
usual parole.
Sometime after the band arrived at
Nashville it acquired stump-tailed,
Scotch TERROR dog. The animal was an
unusually intelligent creature and speed
lily became a great favorite among the
men, 1t soon fell into the habit of ac-
companying the band when it turned out
for marching drill" and eventually
took it's place a few feet in front of the
drum major, where it marched along
confidently, with head and stump-tail

Very Penetrating.

Some years ago there was an old judge
OF the beSch in Berks county, whose deci.
sions, in consequence of numerous reyers
ais, did not always command universal re
spect. One day in case in which he was
sitting, one of the lawyers lost patiencs
light, and in the heat of the moment, re
marked that the intellect of the court was
SO dark flash of lightning could not pene
trate it. For this contempt the judge
showed disposition to be very severe with
the offender, and it was only after much
persuas sion by friends of the latter that he
yielded and decided to accept public apol
ogy. The following day the lawyer, &C.
cordingly, appeared before his honor and
made amends by saying: 81 regret very
much that said the intellect of the court
was so dark lightning could not pene.

company the band at parades and re-
views, and thereafter invariably ap-
peared at the head of the organization
on all formal occasions in which the
band participated, unless previously con-
fined in the camp.
Sometime after the regiment reached
Chattanooga, in 1863, the news of a nota-
BILE victory of the federal arms some
where, reached the regimental camp,
followed almost Immediately thereafter
by an order from some superior source,
directing that the troops should be
paraded and congratulatory address
published in honor of the event.
The formation of the regiment for this
purpose having been accomplished, the
adjutant gave the customary command
to sound off," The band at once began
to play and moving short distance to
the front wheeled to the left and began
to march down along the line. 1t had
scarcely begun the march when the
cadence of the step became unsteady.
The drum major in front leading the
way, seemed more intent at the moment
in looking about him, than in flourishing
his baton and exercising command. Sew
eral members of the band directly be-
hind him, apparently Influenced by his
example, twisted their heads vigorously
about as they fingered their instru-
ments The uneasiness spread until it
involved considerable part of the
band, and for moment threatened serf-
Gus discord. Fortunately at the in
slant when the uneasiness had reached
the point of danger, the cause Of the dis
order was removed by the sudden ap-
pearance of the dog, whose absence from
his accustomed place had well-night up
set the march. Coming with all possi-
Bile speed, the creature hastened to place
himself in front of the band, and order
was at once restored
The part the dog was to play in the
ceremony became apparent as he passed
down the line and came successfully into
view of the men of the several COM
panies, as they stood rigidly erect in
their places. A little stick, as large as

David Smith, aged "a, the last mem
Der Of the original Jacob Smith fam.

ohard surrounding his country home ir
the rear of westlawn cemetery about
s o'clock Tuesday morning, by his
aged wife, Isabella Smith. Death was
due to heart disease.
Mr.. Smith had eaten his breakfast
and a few minutes before o'clock
he took his usual walk through the
beautiful orchard. Death evidently
came without struggle. Doctors were
summoned and the coroner was latei
notified.
Mr.. Smith was considered wealthy
He was the owner of the valuable
lands lying west of Harrison avenue
bound on the west by the st. Joseph.
Catholic church and extending north

owned considerable land on the left
hand side of West Tuscarawas street,
Just east of the hospital.

Eighth street; Mrs. Howard Fry, West
Tuscarawas; Flora and George, who
reside at the family residence; Mrs
Erwin Shut, Akron; Mrs. p. J. Ber-
gen, South Harrison street; Burton
and Harry Smith, of West Tuscarawas
street. There are IL grandchildren
and five great-grandchildren, while no
a brother nor sister survives to mourn
the deceased.
Mr.. Smiths parents formerly occu-
pied the old brick structure in the rear
OF the water works pumping station
but later moved to the present Smith
homestead, which faces on West Third
street extension. He devoted his en-
tire life upon the farm, as did his
father, but several times was called
upon to act in various official capa-
cities. He served many terms as town.
ship trustee and acted in the capacity
of land appraiser upon several occa-
sions. He was Democrat Of the pro-
nounced type and in his earlier years
was quite active in politics.

thereupon a series of minor chords
ridicuiing the senator's evident des-
peration in appealing from mortals to

termed Mr. Hanra's attempt to deceive
and blind the voters as to the issues
of the campaign. Mr.. Clarke. as well

Republican Chillicothe opening in Mr..
Hanna's own words, God help us. IS
Mr.. Clarke took up the opening in
greater detail than did Mr.. johnson
He laid particular stress upon the dec
laration of Mr.. Hanna that tie Demo
cratic platform this fall is '-anarch-
istic, populistic and socialistic."
Mr.. Clarke reviewed the planks of
the Democratic platform one by one,
denominating each as a peculiar
brand of anarchy" Mr.. Clarke's sar-
casm was at times very biting. From
tonight's meeting it is evident the Re
publican ridicule Is to be answered by
Democratic irony"
