VETERAN OF CRlMEAN WAR.
Brother of the Late James Ellis Was
Brave Soldier.

! From Fridays Daily.
| AS an incident in connection with the
death of the late James Ellis, it de-
vcloped that he is survived by one
| brother, resident of Dumfermline,
Scotland, the birthplace of our late
friend, says The Mapleton Enterprise.
The brother, John Ellis, has passed the
four score mark, and is a historic charac
ter in his native place, being the only
survivor there of the Ninety third
Highlanders who fought at Balaclava.
The Evening Post of Dundee, Scot
land, recently published an interesting
narrative relative to this veteran, say
ing, among other things, that "AIr. Ell
lis Joined the Ninety-third Highlanders
in February, 1912, and was discharged
in February, 1863, having thus served
the full twenty one years. During that
time he saw service in India during the
Mutiny, and in the Crimean war, where
he formed one of the Thin Red Line
He served five years in Canada and on
the hostilities breaking out in Russia,
accompanied the Ninety-third to the
dread Crimea, where he was engaged in
the battles of the Alma, Balaclava, and
Sebastopol.
''The grand but terrible spectacle then
witnessed by Mr.. Ellis is still green in
his memory. From four to five hundred

600 of the Russians. Sir Colin Campbell
rode along the line as the enemy adj

die every one of us will" With q laugh
Mr.. Ellis stated that mot one OF us were
killed They fired high over our heads
and we only gave them three volleys
and they became disordered. The INNS
killings and the Greys broke in upon
them on the left and cut avenues
through them. They were so close TO
rs that we heard the commander OF the
Crews shout, ''threes about" and added
the veteran soldier, they turned about
and cut them down. But we had hard
time of it in the Crimea, both with cola
and hunger. They dinna ken what sol
diering is nowadays. We had to carry
a knapsack, topcoat, and blanket on our
backs. besides the accoutrements, and
have seen us march thirty miles day
with all that on

DAN PATCR'S ANCESTRY.
1t Is to Be Looked Into; Things Are
Somewhat Mixed.

From Fridays Daily
Dan Patchs ancestry is to be investi-
gated. Edward II. Forester, represent
ing NJ. w. Savage, says the rumor that
Domineer, and not Joe Patchen, is the
sire of the redoubtable PAGER will be
looked into. Horse lovers say it doesn't
make any difference to Dan, as he is in
q class by himself and on his own ac-
count.
Sioux City dispatches state that Col
Onel j. G. Taylor, once owner of both
Domineer and Patchen, AYERS that
things were mixed at Chobanese, ILL.,,
where both stations were domicled.
Two mares were bred just over the In
Llama line at the same time, and Joe
Patchen had no foal to his credit, while
Domineer's son was Dan Patch.
Further evidence of this fact is said
to be in the possession of John Seeley,
a driver, and j. d. Yeomans, former in
terState commerce commissioner. Joe
Patchen at the time of the incident was
in the height of his popularity and the
advent of Dan, who was credited to him,
did much to increase the fame of the IL
lustrious sire. Dan Patch is said to be
the image of Dominner in every respect
except size. The Sioux City report is
that Dan Patch has not marking of
Joe Patchen.
Mr.. Forester thinks the story ca
nard. Dan was bought with register
ed pedigree and was credited to Joe
Patchen. He does not think that con-
frmation of the story would affect the
standing of Dan Patch's colts or his own
time record.

NEVER HEARD OF DR.. OSLER.
An Old Lady Of One Hundred Eleven
Summers INDUCES in Gaiety.


Red Bank, Pa, Oct. l9.-NIrs. Betsy
Freeman, of this place, never heard of
DR.. William Osler until today. When
her friends, who had assembled to cele-
brate the lllth anniversary of her birth,
told her of him she laughed until the
rafters fairly shook, and then declared
that she was only sorry she did not
know him before; that she would have
sent an invitation to Osler to attend
Then, just TO show her guests that
she is still young woman, she called
her youngest son, William, to her side.
She informed willie that he had been
naughty boy and forthwith proceeded
to Law him across her knee and admins
ter sound spanking. "Willie" is eigh-
ty-two years old.
Friends and neighbors for miles
around assembled at the home to help
the old lady celebrate. Mrs. Freeman
is in the best of health aud appears no
older than woman of fifty. She knew
every person who was present, and adj
dressed them all by their first names.
Her faculties are unimpaired and her
greatest pleasure in life is reading her
Bible, which she does for hours at a
time. She has memorized great part
of the book.

HAD TO HIDE 1T

A mother wrote us recently
that she had to keep SCOTS
Emulsion under lock and key
her children used to drink
it whenever her back was
turned. Strange that children
should like something that is
so good for them. It's usu-
ally the other way. SCOTS
Emulsion makes children
comfortable, makes them fat
and rosy-cheeked. Perhaps
that's why they like it SO
much-they know it makes
them feel good.

Contributions to Campaign
Funds Basis of Trouble.
President Roosevelt Takes a
Hand in the Deal.

Goshen, Ind, Oct. 20.-Into Goshen's
postoffice scandal, which grew out of
forced contributions to campaign funds
by employees, has come political feud
dating back twenty years and more, and
has cast its spell over the contending
factions and marked out new lines of
division. A Minnesota ex-congressman
and newspaper man, Joel p. Heatwole
quantity in the affairs of his old neigh
bors, protecting his nephew and uphold
ing Heatwole's reputation for giving as
well as taking blows.
Years ago there was political strife
between Postmaster Sherwin and ex-
Mayor Heatwole, brother of the Mime
sofa politician. Croop is nephew of
Heatwole's. 1t is claimed that Sherwin,
who had been an unsuccessful candidate
on the republican ticket here, still bore
TeSeHlHlcuI lOI Iedl VI ldHCiSu oiodu-
vantages and sought to punish the nep-
hew, Croop. From that i'll feeling start
ed, and little by little Croop, it is al
legged was crowded to the rear.
The Goshen trouble seems to mark
out more plainly the lines separating
the Beveridge adherents from the Fair
banks supporters, Sherwin being
Fairbanks man and the Baker faction
being Beveridge men. 1t is stated here
that by Friday noon the trouble will
be terminated and the case disposed of.
Postmaster Sherwin has been under
fire now for eight weeks, and the re-
suit of the investigation promises to
bring into the scandal some of the best
known and mostly highly respected men
in Indiana.
That the investigation is not for
withdrawing" purposes is shown by the
arrival here of Assistant Postmaster
General Robb of Washington, d. c., and
United States District Attorney Joseph
Keatling of Indianapolis. Within an
hour after reaching the city, the two Of
fcials began holding a secret inquiry.
All the clerks employed at the Goshen
postoffice were ordered to appear and
testify.
Judging from hints dropped by per-
sonsawho are closely following the case,
President Roosevelt does not intend to
stop with the Goshen inquiry, but will
extend the investigation throughout In
diana, especially in the cities over which
political storms have been centered.
While the names of the cities have not
been given out, it is understood that not
one of the large cities will escape.
President Roosevelt should not con-
fine his inquiry to the large cities. Tt is

TRIED TO FOOL THE LADY.
Robinson Claimed That He Was Not

From Thursday s Daily.
The story is that d. G. Robinson,
while in Moorhead, boarded at the same
place where a young lady from this
city was stopping. The young lady
recognized Robinson as the man who
was sent to the penitentiary from Man
kato, having been convicted of the
crime of forgery, but the versatile in
surance man endeavored to convince the
young lady that she was mistaken; that
she had some other Robinson in view.
Robinson, according to all accounts, trot-
ted in a rapid class in Moorhead and
