MOUMENT TO MOTHER BICKERDYKE.
Il will Be Erected at Galesburg. ILL.,, by
the Old Soldiers.
Boston Globe. Her design has been &C.
cepted, and she has begun work on the
modelling of the full-size monument.
The design, like the woman it is in
tended to commemorate, is strong and
simple A wounded soldier on the bat
tlefeld has been tenderly lifted into
Q half-sitting posture by the army
nurse, while she holds a cooling drink
to his parched lips. The figure Of the
soldier Is admirably done, and there is
fine feeling In the figure Of Mother
Bickerdyke-the plain, tender woman
whose mission it was to relieve suffer-
ing soldiers wherever she found them.
Her hair is done up simply. Her
dress is that of the army nurse, but
the feeling of genuine tenderness In the
lace and figure Of the woman positively
ennobles her. It is truly that of the
mother bending over her wounded boy
and ministering to his immediate
wants
This life-size group, which is to be
cast in bronze, will rest on q granite
pedestal without ornament, and only
the words MARY A. Bickerdyke-
Mother" inscribed on the sides. The
simple lines of this pedestal and its
shape lend much emphasis to the group
On top.
" aMother-' Bickerdyke's biography,
strange enough, is missing from the
encyclopedias, while those Of many
women less famous are given. Mary
4. Bickerdyke was born near Mt Yer
non. Knox county, O., July 10, 1877.
Her mother died when she was only
II months old. One Of her grandfathers
fought in the revolutionary war. She
married young.
After some years Of married life her
husband died and left her with sew
eral little children. When the war
broke out she was one Of the most &C
tive of the women in Galesburg, ILL.,, to
work for the soldiers at the front, and
when at one time q trainload Of sup
plies for the army were sent from
Galesburg to Cairo, she accompanied
them as delegate. -:
Her active army life began - q nurse
after the battle of Belmont and from
there she followed Grant and later
Sherman through all the campaigns Of
the western armies, administering to
friend and foe alike on the battlefelds.
Then when the last battle was fought
and all the soldiers marched In re-
view at washington, she was one Of
the most noted figures in the great
parade.
After the rebellion she went back to
her home and lived with her son, Prof.
Bickerdyke, at Russell, Kan. But she
never lost her interest in the old SOL
diers, and she devoted much OF the
time In the latter years to attending
10 their wants in various "homes,"
and in aiding them to securs pensions.

lis were fatally injured at ! o'clock in
the Afternoon by falling to the pave
lnent on the Minnesota street side OF
the Germania Insurance building in st
Paul, while giving demonstration of
a patent fire escape. Dying and still
locked in each others arms, they were
hurried to st. Joseph's hospital In the
police ambulance.
The fatal accident was caused by
the breaking of q slender rope on
which Mr.. Scammon descended alone
from the eighth door.of the building to
the third. Mrs. Scammon, who had re-
manned at third story window OBJ
scure from the view of the crowd
watching the experiment, was elapsed
in her husbands arms with the inten-
ton OF giving an exhibition of thrill
ing rescue.
As Mr.. Scammon received his wife
into his arms he nodded his head to
her as if to ask her if everything was
ready for continuance of the descent
The wife gave a quick movement OF
the head as q return answer, and as she
did SO the rope gave away at the 9Th
story window, where the sharp-edged
stone had cut into it from the swaying
of the weight on the lower end. The
man and woman fell to the stone side"
walk sixty feet below.

Some comment is made because
Frank Van Dusen was not appointed
general passenger agent Of the Penn
sylvania lines West with the promo
ton of E A. Ford to be passenger
traffic manager, and it is proper to
state that Mr.. Van Dusen did not de-
sire the position, his health not being
such as to justify him in undertaking
the duties.

cures. You want one that is unques-
tionably harmless. You want one
that is pleasant to take. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy meets all of
these conditions. There is nothing so
good for the coughs and colds Incl
dent to childhood. It is also a certain
preventive and cure for Group, and

Arrives : at New Castle From the

We mentioned exclusively some
time ago the fact Of Lynn Smith s
Klondike trip and the anxiety his
people felt at not hearing from him,
and a subsequent dispatch telling Of
his arrival at Seattle. Il RI
A dispatch in the morning papers
tells of his arrival at New Castle.
New Castle, April 26.-Lynn Smith
arrived here today on his way home
from the Klondike. He travelled
from Rampant City to Valdez, 625
miles, all the way on foot or by dog
team. He left Rampant City on
March l.. with dog team that cost
him $3.50, and then found that the
snow was still too soft for the loaded
sled and had to walk nearly all the
way, breaking a path for the dogs.
His only companion on the trip was
the mail carrier.
His reason for coming. before the
trail was open was that he wished to
attend the marriage Of his sister,
which will take place here in June.
He will return to the Klondike after
the wedding.

SALOONS
Increasing Faster Than the Popula-
ton,

Since 1902 there has been an in
crease Of one saloon i'll. Richmond,
while in the county we have decreas-
ed four. >, >..'.. .....
According to State Stalistician
johnson, the figures show that the sa-
looms are increasing faster than the
population, as it is figured that the
population increases at the rate OF
.O1S per cent. year. The incre. e
was especially surprising, for in 1902
it was found that the increase in the
number of saloons over 1901 was but
nine, which compared with the in
/ crease Of 1901 over 19O0-3O3 SEEM
ed to indicate that the anti-saloon ele-
ment was fast driving the saloons out
of the state. The figures this year,
however, indicate that the opposition
to the saloon runs in localities and in
cycles, for, being driven out at one
time, they reappear at later date.
The figures, however, show that the
fight against the saloon was kept up
with vigor, for in the forty-three
counties in the state there was report
ed decrease in thenumber of Ii
censes issued. In forty-two counties
however, there were increases, six
counties showing the same number of
licenses for 1902 and 1908. Two
counties in the state reported that nc
those counties-Piqe, which year
ago has eight, and Brown, which has
been without a state licensed saloon
for number of years.
In 1902 sixty liquor licenses were
granted in Wayne county and only
4 fifty-six in 1908.
