Bishop whitaker's 74th Birthday.

Philadelphia. Pa, May 10,-Today
Right Rev. OH William Whitaker
bishop of the Protestant Episcopal
diocese of Pennsylvania, entered up
on his 18th year and was the re
cipient of numerous notes and cards
of congratulations from his friends
both in and out of the church. No
celebration of the anniversary was
held owing to Bishop Whitaker's age
and physical infirmities.
Bishop Whitaker is a native of
Massachusetts and received his edu-
cation at MiddIeburg college and the
General Theological seminary in New
York, graduating from the latter in
1868 Six years later he was elected
missionary bishop to Nevada. and
filed that position until 1885, when he
was chosen bishop coadjutor of Penn
sylvania to assist Bishop Stevens.
When the latter died in 1887 Bishop
Whitaker succeeded him. The active
management of the affairs of the dio.
cese is now largely in the hands of
Bishop Mackay-Smith, who was
chosen conductor bishop to assist
Bishop Whitaker two years ago.

liver-and all the fine spirits ever
made in the Blue Grass state could

can't have good spirits and a bad
liver at the same time. Your liver
must be in fine condition If you would

formation

The government crop report for the
past week for Oregon has the follow.
ing summary
The past week has been cool and
showery, with several frosty morn
ings. 1t was favorable for advancing
farm work, but too cool for rapid
growth. Fall wheat and fall barley
are everywhere in excellent condition,
and in some localities early sown fall
barley is beginning to head. Spring
seeding is nearly finished, except on
the low, heavy lands, and the early
seeded wheat, barley and oats have
all come up to good stands. Pastur.
age, grasses and such forage plants as
vetch and cheat are doing splendidly.
Stock continues improving, and the
flow of milk in dairy herds is excel
lent. Sheep shearing is well under
way, with the indications that the clip
will be an average one.
In a few localities hops have been
injured by frost, and the vines every
where have not done so well as they
did the previous week. The cultiva-
tion of the hop yards for the first time
has been practically completed, and
the hops are now nearly to the top of
the poles, or twine, as the case may
be Gardens are backward, and some
tender varieties of vegetables have
been slightly injured by frost. Late
gardens and late potatoes are being
planted, and considerable land is be.
ing prepared for corn, but not much
has yet been planted. Frosts have
badly damaged Italian prunes, and
Royal Anne cherries are reported to
have been severely injured in many
localities. Petite prunes and peaches
have set well, and there IS profusion
of apple bloom.

lowing sums of money:

and the man who operated the rebel
cannon was sort of caricature artist.
Only three out of the "a balls struck
anywhere near the seminary building.
Indeed, some of the spectators asserted
that the seminary was the only safe
place for miles around. Yet the gum
ner was not wholly to blame. He was
firing siX-pound balls from nine-pound
cannon! 1t was fortunate that the size
Of cannon and balls was not reversed,
or the soldiers might have been set to
work with their jack knives to whittle
the balls down to fit the gun. Meanwhile
the federal soldiers inside the building
sent out an occasional volley of Bolts and
screws; but their position was anything
but agreeable.
At half-past four, when Col. Smith was
considering the advisability of surren-
der, there was sudden commotion out
side. A snorting engine came putting
down the track, bearing the troops that
had been left at Hannibal, and as soon
as it came within range brass cannon
on one of the fiat cars opened its ominous
mouth and saluted the picnickers. Lam
guage is inadequate to describe the ef-
| feet of this untimely interference. In
an instant the prairie was chaos of
flying horses and flying men. Soldiers
threw away their guns and took refuge
in the carriages with the ladies. Erst-
while constant lovers forsook their
sweethearts and fled in dismay. To use
the old Greek military term. Col. Harris
and his men "skedaddled."
That night word reached Washington
that desperate battle was in progress
at Monroe, and that the union forces
were being annihilated. Col. John NJ
Palmer, Col. U. S. Grant and few other
men of subsequent military celebrity
were ordered to the rescue. and by Fri
day morning more than 1000 troops were
on their way to the seat of hostilities.
And yet the seminary fight at Monroe
City is not given 30 much as mention
among the decisive battles of the civil
war.

Columbus, Jan. 5.-The Seventy
sixth general assembly of the state
of Ohio convened Monday in biennial
session. There was n full attendance.
The senate was called to order by
Lieut.. Gov. Harry l.. Gordon, whose
term does not expire until next Mon
day, when Warren G. Harding will be
inaugurated. George IL. Chamber
lain, of Lorain county, was chosen
president pro TEN, and f. L. Scobey,

The house was called to order by

So, year, encountered such vigor-
GUS opposition in the house that the
effort to pass it under suspension of
the rules was easily defeated. 1t went
over until today.
Senator Shallenberger, of Cuyaho-

session. 1t provides for the revision
of the governors staff in accordance
with the military plan adopted by
Gov.-elect Herrick. The adiutant gen.
eral will rank as brigadier general
and draw $2,75O annually; the assist
ant adJutant general and assistant
quartermaster general rank as
colonels and draw $1,750 annually.
Formerly the latter two drew $1,50O,
the adjutant general $500. Their
pay in future will be one half that of
regular army officers of the same
rank. The bill abolishes all the high
titled officials heretofore provided
and instead provides II aides ranking
as majors, captains and lieutenants,
who will draw pay at the national
guard rate only when detailed for
duty by Gov. Herricll.
The senate passed, under suspen-
sion of the rules, the bill for the re-
organization of Gov. Herricli's staff
to conform with the Dick military
bill. The bill abolishes the surgeon
general, chief of engineers, quarter
master general, and judge advocate

UNNOTICED BATTLE
How The Civil War Began AT Monroe
City i'm Missouri

1t is customary for the teacher of
United States history to inform her
pupils that the first battle of the civil
war occurred at Bull Run on the 1st
Of July, 1861, and it seems strange that
in all these years no Missouri voice
has been raised in protest against this
false dictum, writes Emile Rucll de
Schell in the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat.
At Fort Sumter much good ammuni-
ton was shot away; but it seems that
Maj. Anderson finally surrendered be-
cause he was not fond of a diet of
pork. At Monroe City, almost two
weeks before the battle of Bull Run,
there was bona fide battle which last
ed two whole days and one man was
killed.
At the spring convention the union
vote had outweighed the secessionist,
and compromise on a so-called neu-
trality was effected; but there was no
neutrality in the heart of the COVER
nor; and the thorn in his side, the
menace to his peace and to his plans,
was the Hannibal G. st. Joseph rail-
road, the road that had been built with
Boston capital and was operated al
most wholly by Germans, all of whom
were loyal to the union. When word
reached John w. Brooks, the president
| of the road, that Caleb Jackson was
going to tear up the Yankee railroad,
he appealed to President Lincoln for
military protection. In response to
this appeal the president ordered Col
R. F. Smith, with the Sixteenth Illinois
infantry, to cross the river and do SEN
tinel duty along the railroad
The strategic point for northern

Missouri was an almost impregnable
position between the forks of Salt riv-
er, and here Col. Tom Harris had been
mastering his recruits, and his camp
was already about 600 strong. On the
7th of July Gen. Lyon ordered Col
Smith to march upon Harris and break
up the camp.
The plans of the campaign were
faultless, with one exception. The
colonel neglected to order fair weather,
and it rained. The soldiers did not
mind the booming of the cloud guns.
That seemed quite appropriate. 1t was
the drenching rain that rendered their
spanking new uniforms all soggy that
somehow took the romance out Of the
situation and made them wish, as they
crawled out of the box cars at Monroe,
that they had remained at home.
Next morning the sun shone out
clear and hot, and as soon as breakfast
was over the momentous march was
begun. AS the soldiers were making
their way through a narrow defile in
the Swinkey hills an unseen foe opened
fire on them at short range. A few took
down their muskets and fired counter
salute into the ambuscade of thick
timber and underbrush. There was a
scurrying among the bushes. and Capt.
Grigsby's force of so guerrillas fled
through the woods like herd OF
| frightened deer. for one of their num-
ber had been mortally wounded.
This little adventure served to warn
Col. Smith that he was marching into
what he termed a "veritable death
trap" and he determined to get out
before more damage was done. 1t was
already almost four o'clock, so 1t was
deemed best to go into camp for the
night. Not until then did it dawI
upon the commander that he had lef
his train load OF supplies and ammuni
ton at Monroe, with not so much as {
policeman to guard 1t. And the clouC
of smoke that presently enyeloped thu
heavens made plain the fact that there
was something doing at Monroe. Th'
loss to the federal cause through th'
destruction of the station, train anC
supplies was about 100000; but the losl
was really much greater than this, {
loss that was not to be estimated il
cold figures, the loss of pride. prestige
and-dinner Col Smith had in hin
the making of successful commander
and 1t required just such an experience,
as this to put him on his mettle.
AS soon as the scene of the recen
"conflasration." as he fondly termed ii
was reached. he set his men to worl
picking up bolt pins and nuts from
among the smoldering ruins OF tn
train. This helped them to realil
that they had burned their fingers,
and the scraps of metal could be use
instead of orthodox artillery ammuni
ton Then he took possession of tn
seminary building and put himself Il
position to endure a siege.
Soon the news was carried over tn

country that 600 Yanks were "treed"
up at Monroe, and every able-bodied
man, woman and child Within a radius
of a dozen miles turned out to see the
fun. Col. Harris, finding that Col.
Smiths little visit had been deferred,
determined that the proposed meeting
should take place, even If he had to
change his role from host to guest. Ac-
cordingly, he summoned all his men
and marched to Monroe, where he sat
down in front of the seminary and
waited for the union commander to
come out and "shake hands" BY noon
of Wednesday, the 9th of July, there
were more than 1000 rebels on the
prairie around the town, all eager to
help poke the game out of the hole.
Finally it was decided that cannon
would be required to compel the fed
erals to surrender, and there were
those among the bssiegers who knew
where one could be found. A fine
nine-pounder, together with five balls,
had been hidden under a haystack on
Blair Todd's farm near Palmyra, and
under a sham woodpile near by was a
six-pounder, with about 40 balls. The
/, smaller cannon, however, was not
mounted. and hence unfit for USE
Cannon and balls had to be hauled 20
miles in a wagon, so it was one o'clock
Thursday before the bombardment be-
gan.
Never had there been such a jubilee in
that section of the country. Ladies and
children drove up in their carriages.
Rustic lovers held parasols over their
sweethearts while they watched a sure
enough live battle. But the show was
not without its drawbacks. There is an
