VIII Cure Permanently at Your Own Home.

T. NJ Brown, of DeQueen, Ark, says "Oyer
seven years ago was cured of the opium habit
by your medicine, and have continued in the
very best of health since"
W. NJ. Tunstali, of Lovingston, Va, says "I
am glad to say that l firmly believe that am
entirely and permanently cured of the drink
habit, as have never even so much wanted
drink in any form since took your eradicator,
now lS months ago. 1t was the best money 1
ever invested"
Mrs. Virginia Townsend of Shreveport, La
writes: "No more opium. I have taken no other
remedy than yours, and make no mistake when
say that my health is better now than 1T ever
was i'm my life, and / owe it TO you and your
remedy. Ii has been twelve years since was
cured by your treatment"

THE STATE PENSIONS.
Problem Getting to be a Serious One for the
State-The Payments.
lColrmbia Record, May ILL.,

lColrmola RECORD, May III.
Despite the fact that there were
SIT deaths during the year of those
on the pension rolls, there was net
increase of 247, showing that nearly
800 names had been added to the
rolls. The Comptroller General this
morning issued an interesting state
ment of the pensions by counties and
showed the distribution of each.
There is change in the law which
makes each Clerk of Court return
funds not distributed for any reason,
and this money now goes back into
the general fund, whereas it formerly
went into the pension fund of the
following year. Last year $4,000
went back to the State Treasurer.
The statement is as follows:

killed in attempting to pass by
Gen. Coffee's men, stationed on the
opposite bank.
6" l do not know the exact
number of prisoners taken, but it
must exceed 800, all women and
children, except three or four. The
battle may be said to have continued
with severity for about five hours,
but the firing and the slaughter con-
tinued until it was suspended by the
darkness of the night. The next
morning it was resumed, and sixteen
of the enemy slain who had con-
cealed themselves under the banks.
Our loss was twenty-six men killed
and 1O7 wounded; friendly Creeks,
five killed and eleven wounded"
The thirty ninth regiment of in
fantry commanded by Gen. John
Williams, had as lieutenants Sam
Houston and Benjamin Wright. The
latter was just behind Major Mont
gomery when he was killed and was
the first man to mount the ramparts.
Houston received a wound in. the
right shoulder from an Indian arrow,
which gave him pain al. his life.
The result of this battle was to
forever destroy the power of the
Creek Indians, who had proved such
formidable and determined foes.
William Weathersford, chief of
the Creek Indians, who commanded
the Indians in Alabama, was born in
ITO, and died in 1924. His father
was white trader and his mother a
Seminole or Greek Indian. On the
14th of April, 1914, he voluntarily
surrendered to Gen. Jackson, and, on
making his surrender, said:
81 am in your power. Do with me
as you please, am a soldier. l have
done the white man all the harm l
could. l .have fought them, and
fought them bravely. If l had an
army would yet fight, and contend
to the last, but ! have none. My
people are all gone; my warriers can
no longer here my voice. Their
bones are at Talladega, Tallasa-
hatchee, Emmuckfaw and Tohopeka.
L haveEnot surrendered myself
thoughtlessly. Whilst there were
chances for success / never left my
post nor supplicated peace. But my
people are gone and now | ask it for
myself and for my nation. The women
and the children of the war party
who are now starving in the woods
call for peace"
There was crowd around Gen.
Jackson's tent who had listened to the
speech, and some cried out, "Kill
him !" Gen. Jackson, in his peculiar,
imperious manner, waved his hand
and said "Any man who would
kill as brave man as this would rob
the dead"
Weathersford lived for many years
oD his plantation on Little Run, in
Monroe county Alabama, and re-
tained the respect OF the white peo-
ple.-Marcus j. Wright, in New Or
leans Picayune.

miles below the enoampment and to
surround the bend in such manner
that none of them should escape by
attempting to cross the river. With
the remainder of the forces / pro-
ceeded along the point of the land
whioh leads to the front of their
breastworks, and at 1890 O'clock a.
M, | had planted my artillery on a
small eminence, distant from its
nearest point about 80 yards, and
from its farthest point about $50,
from whence Immediately opened
brisk fire upon its center with mus
kerry and rifles, and kept up gall
ing fire whenever the enemy showed
themselves behind their works or
ventured to approach them. This
was continued, with occasional inter-
missions, for about two hours, when
Capt. Russel's company of spies and
a part of the Cherokee force, headed
by their gallant chieftain, Col. Rich
ard Brown, and conducted by the
brave Col. Morgan, crossed over to
the extremity of the peninsula in
canoes and set fire to few of the
buildings which were there situated.
They then advanced with great gal
'nntry toward the breastworks and
commenced firing upon the enemy,
who lay behind it. Finding that the
force, Notwithstanding the deter
mined bravery they displayed, was
wholly insufficient to dislodge the
enemy, and that Gen. Coffee had Sc
cured the opposite bank of the river,
l now determined upon taking pos
session of their works by storm.
Never were men better disposed for
such an undertaking than those by
whom it was to be effected. They
had entreated to be led to the charge
with the most pressing Importantly,
and received the order which was
now given with the strongest dem
onstrations of joy.
"The effect was such as this temper
of mind foretold. The regular
troops, led on by their intrepid
and skillful commander, Col. Will
liams, and by the gallant Major
Montgomery, were presently in pos
session of the nearest side of the
breastworks and the militia accom-
panied them in the charge with a
vivacity and tirmness which could
not have been exceeded, and has
seldom been equaled by troops of
any description.
GA few companies of Gen.
Dohoritv's brigade, on the right,
were led on with great gallantry by
Col. Bunch the advance guard by
the adiutant general, and the left ex-
tremity of the line by Capt. Gordon,
of the Spies, and Capt. McMurry, of
General Johnson's brigade of West
Tennessee militia. Having main
tanned for a few minutes a very
obstinate contest, muzze to muzzle,
through the portfolios, in which
many of the enemies bullets were
welded to the bayonets of our mus
kets, our troops succeeded in gaining
possession of the opposite side of
the works. The event could no
longer be doubtful. The enemy, al
though many of them fought to the
last with that kind of bravery which
desperation inspires, were at length
routed and cut to pieces. The
whole margin of the river which
surrounded the peninsula was strewed
with the slain. Five hundred and
fifty-seven were found by officers of
great respectability, whom / had or
dered to count them besides very
great number were thrown into the
river by their surviving friends, and

gestions for the promotion of the prin-
ciples of temperance. Rev. Leonard

Mrs. Mae Owen and Mrs. e. Conant
were the w. G. T.U. committee for this
year for this annual reception and the

Railroad Officials Entertained.

An informal but very interesting sup
per party was held at the Wildermuth
House, Wednesday, when some of the
larger shippers and few of the bust
ness men of the city met President
Eugene Zimmerman, General Manager
h. K. Smith, General Traffic Manager
Q. p. Lamprey and General Passenger
Agent j. j. Kirby, of the Ann Arbor
and Detroit, Toledo 81 Ironton railroads.
A more formal gathering could not be
arranged for, as it was not known un-
til late that the officials would spend
the night here.
Mayor Parkill welcomed the visitors
to the city, after the supper was served,
and made a number of practical sugges-
tons and pleasant comments. Presi-
dent n zimmerman responded, predicting
that o wosso's growth would soon take
a new and decided start and the city
would become the leading furniture
manufacturing city of Michigan, the
railroads giving it direct access to the
southern lumber districts. He stated
that Owosso had a wide reputation as a
progressive, hustling and prosperous
city. DR.. A. M. Hume, one of the as
sistant surgeons of the Ann Arbor road,
spoke briefly, and General Manager
Smith referred to the mutual interests
of Owosso and the railroad, and said
plans are under consideration for an
increase in the company's interests here
The pay roll Of the company here is now
about $50, 600 a month and this will be
largely increased by the building of
more cars and engines, and large addi-
tional jobs of repairing from the d., T.
IL l. road. Short but pleasant talks were
also made by General PassengerA gent
Kirby and Traffic Manager Lamprey,
Judge Weist, G.. E. Rigley, b. E. Smith,
Rev. @. H. Hanks and b. S. Stratton.
Rev. Hanks talk took a very practical
turn when he quoted scripture, ASK
and we shall receive" and then asked
for new depot for Owosso in 1906,
sentiment that much pleased the home
people and seemed to meet the approval
of the visitors. Il. S. Stratton, as q
representative of both the railroad and
the city closed the program with some
very happy remarks on the friendship
that had existed and the good results
therefrom.

Judging by the numerous large loads
OF beet pulp which are drawn away
daily from the sugar factory the farm
ers in the vicinity of Owosso are begin
ming to realize something of its feeding
value. The thing to be regretted is
that many tons of the pulp were not
taken during October and November
and that the supply will be cut off
shortly after the plant stops running
unless the Sugar Co. decides to cut an
opening into the pulp pit so that teams
can be driven in and the pulp secured.
Farmers feeding the pulp seem to be
pleased with the results.
