FORTY YEARS AGO.
Excerpts Taken From st, Paul Papers
of Feb. 4th, 1865

Dissatisfaction loud and deep has
reached us from every section of
our Minnesota regiments concern
ing the injustice of our present sys-
TENS of local bounties, by which, in
effect, the veteran volunteers who
entered the service with little or
no bounty, and who have born the
burden and heat of the day, are as
sessed for the benefit of the stay-at-
homes. The little farms and prop
critics they left at home, barely suffi-
cient at the utmost to keep their
families from starving, are loaded
down with taxes in order to ex-
empt their unwilling and unpatri-
otic neighbors from equal duty
which every able bodied citizen
owes to his country,
This dissatisfaction is now max
ing itself heard in various emphat-
ic protests from military officers to
the legislature. A day or two ago
memorial was received from Col.
LIE Duo upon this subject, and yes
terday Mr.. Colville of Red Wing
presented a similar memorial of
Col. McLaren, who calls special at
tention to the indignation which
prevails everywhere among our
soldiers, and asks in their behalf
the exemption from the operation of
bounty taxes of three classes dis
charged veterans, soldiers in the
service and widows and families of
those who have fallen in the SER
vice.
The quota of the city for the COM
ing draft will be about 125 men.
This will requirs an expenditure of
about $4,000. Not to exceed one
third of this has been raised. Per-
sons liable to the draft should re-
member that the city will not make
a $40, 900 investment to clear them
this time, and the only help to be
derived is from the ward associa-
tions. To obtain aid. in this direc-
tion each.. one must contribute at
least $25.
The Redwood gazette., 1905-02-15

Quite a number of recruits are in
the market now, open for an offer
of bounty. If your ward commit
tees were to take the field they
could Fill the city quota in day or
two. The recruiting agents say
they have plenty of offers, but that
no town is in the field at present
offering a bounty.
The Redwood gazette., 1905-02-15

Col. Marshall reached home
Wednesday direct from Eastport.
Miss. He reports the Fifth, Sew
enth, Ninth and Tenth Minnesota
regiments at that point. The men
were on short rations. The country
in that vicinity is so poor that for
aging for men or animals is almost a
waste of time. Some of the boys of
the Seventh were out in the coun-
try running a mill to grind corn.
The Redwood gazette., 1905-02-15

Tough. His command is at Fort
Ridgeley.
Lieut.. G. c. Parker, of the First
Minnesota, has opened up several
recruiting Offices and an effort will
be made to establish the glorious old
First. AS high bounties will be
paid as are given in the state.
The Sixth Minnesota, for some
time past doing provost guard duty
at st. Louis, has been ordered to
New Orleans. This is hard usage
for the Sixth. The regiment has al
ready been decimated by the malar-
ious fevers of the Arkansas swamps.
Half of it's members who have SER
vived the fatal atmosphere of Helena
arein hospital and the other half are
now, by the extraordinary perver-
sity of i'll luck, sent TO the unheal-
thy climate of New Orleans to be-
come subjects of King Yellow Jack.

The Tenth Minnesota is in winter

The Tenth Minnesota is in winter
quarters at Clifton, Miss, after a Sc
we're and disagreeable march over
land from Nashville. The last eight
days of the march the men were on
three quarters rations, and no quar-
termaster s stores were along; many
of the men performed the journey
barefooted.
Fully five hundred physically y
sound persons have received exem-
tion papers in St Peter during the
past few weeks. A number of out
side doctors and lawyers opened ur
offices there about a mouth ago, and
word was soon passed around that
exemption could be had for about
500 a piece. One doctor made
50, 900 iu four days. Many people
from outside towns took advantage
of this cheap method of avoiding
service in the army. Never was
official trust more shamefully per-
formed. No arrests have yet been
made.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1905-10-08

Brigader Alex Damon, field secretary of the Salvation Army, with headquarters in New York, delivered an interesting lec- ture at the Salvation Army hall on Sec ond avenue last night on the subject. Darkest America
 The speaker told of the conditions in the slums of the great cities and of the work of the army in bringing light to the inhabitants of them. He also talked of the darker side of life in the great cities as it appeared to the members of the army. He illustrated his lecture with over 100 sterioptican views.
 The discourse also dwelt on the work of the army In the emigration coloniza- ton, industrial and rescue home. The great good being accomplished by the army in these lines was emphasized by Rrigadier Damon and illustrated with &C., tual instances.
 Tn the slum districts of New York and other large cities" said the speaker, 'the army has established slum posts where members of the army live the year round, nursing the sick preaching to the people and converting many and starting them in lives of righteousness. One of the features of the slum work is the nurseries. The children of mothers who are compelled to work are cared for and taught in the nurseries, instead

HORSES AND BUGGIES
 MADE STRANGE EXITS
Two Thefts Were Reported to the Pc Iice-One Vehicle and Horse
 Mysteriously Returned.

Thefts of two horses and bugges were reported to the police yesterday but in less than an hour after one theft was reported the complainant telephoned and said that his vehicle had been returned. The return of the buggy was as mysteri- ous as its disappearance, and the owner, J. D. Dunn, superintendent of the Soss furnace has been busy telling his friends about 1t. # deI1s40a&
 The second vehicle had not been found at a late hour last night. It was stolen while the driver for Maclxin Bros, the owners was delivering groceries When he came out of house his horse and buggy was gone.

 Although only 22 years of age MT. Kill tough was considered a splendid bridge man and was at work on a structure over a gorge near Helena, twelve miles south of Birmingham, when the accident occurred He was assisting in the rais- ing of a heavy piece of timber when. in some unaccountable manner. 1t slipped and fell, knocking MT. Killough from the bridge to the bottom of the ravine. When he was picked up it was seen that he was badly hurt, having evidently land ed on his head.
 The man was placed on the Montgomery accommodation for Birmingham. but died of his injuries before he reached the city The body was turned over to Shaw x Son. The funeral will take place at Mt. Pinson, his former home. today. In- terment will be in the family burying plot in the church cemetery.

First and Second Avenues Between Thirteenth and Six
 eenth Street Changed Hands Yesterday for Over S1300OO Options on Other Property in Same Vicinity Are Held
Believed That the Purchase Was Made and the Options Are Held for the Illinois Central Railroad to be Used for Freight House. Options Include the Brewer and Williamson Buildings

W. P. Brewer stated yesterday after noon that he had given an option on his property, which faces 200 feet on First Avenue and runs back 40 feet to the alley, but he would not give any of the details. He stated that w. B. Leedy was agent and that he had not received any notice that the option had been exercised.
 It is understood that the figure named in this option Is $2OO.O00 and that the option four-story brick building now occupies the site.
 tween First and Second avenues from Fourteenth to Sixteenth streets on which 1t is said options have been secured.
 Credited to Illinois Central.
 The purchases are generally credited to the Illinois Central railroad which Is rapidly perfecting its plans to enter Bir- mingham. It will be remembered that
  rangement with the Mobile and Ohio from Jackson, Tenn, to Corinth, Miss; that the Illinois Central will build from Corinth to Haleysville, Ala; that 1t has track age arrangement with the Northern Ala bama, a property of the Southern rail way, from Haleysville to Jasper, and that the road will enter Birmingham over the Frisco tracks.
 Recently the Birmingham Belt, which Is owned and operated by the Frisco, bought over 100 acres along Village creek between North Birmingham and Thomas to De used for terminal purposes and for the location of big industries. It was an nounced at the time that the Illinois Gen. tral would also use this property for yards if necessary.
 It is now stated in railroad circles thai the Frisco and the Illinois Central nave A. mutual arrangement by which the Frisco will have other privilege of using the terminals of the Illinois Central or the property secured yesterday and which is yet to be built, provided the Frisco cares to do so.
 It is understood that the Illinois Cen tral will build it's freight house ant freight offices on the new propert! bought Railroad men state that it would be difficult to secure a better location | for freight house in Birmingham now | as this property is bounded on one sid' by First avenue and on the other b, Second avenue. East access to the prop erty can be had from the tracks of tn Frisco and the Birmingham Belt whicl cross First and Second avenue betweel Twelfth and Thirteenth streets. Tn property is also within two or three block of a portion of the city which is rapidl. building up with wholesale and retal business of various kinds.

 AN INTERESTING LECTURE

of being left to themselves, often locked
 up In cold rooms without anything to eat
 "The industrial homes of the army last
 the homes of the rich and ran 1t through
 the mills, selling the product at low rates
 in their department stores. In many in- |, stances in the stores of the army coats
 are sold for 15 and 20 cents."
 The emigration the army is promoting
 from the cities to the country was also
 discussed by the speaker. The wonder ful effects of educating men who were
 formerly hopeless vagrants in the large
 cities in the art of farming which was
 done in the colonies of the army were
 brought out and Major Berriman was of the opinion that this would be one of the greatset features of the work of the army in the coming year. Brigadier Damon held the attention of the large audience from beginning to end. He is considered one of the best speakers in the Salvation Army work. Miss Jas person rendered several vocal selections at the lecture last night. The following Is the programme of the army for today:
 Open air service at 10 a. m. Holiness meeting at Il a. m. at the hall. At Il a. m. Major Berrman will lecture at the Church of the Advent. D. m.-United Christian praise meeting at First Presbyterian church. led by Bri- i gadier Damon.

Fine Old Comedy Is We'll Played at tho
 Jefferson.

Sheridan's fine old comedy, "The Rl- vals" with Joseph and William Winter Jefferson In the cast, was the offering at the Jefferson theatre yesterday afternoon and last night. There is as much enjoy ment to be derived from a performances when the fathers of the present genera ton laughed at the vanities of simple Bob Acres. Dear Old To-" sleeps, but the role he played so well live after him. and are being interpreted with success by his sons. Thomas Jefferson Is winning new laurels as Rip" while William Win ter makes a capital Bob Acres.
 In order to perfectly enjoy "The Riv- als." as presented by Joseph and William Jefferson it is necessary to banish from mind the memory of the elder Jeffersons s performances. Comparisons were ever odious, and in this case unjust. At the Jefferson last night William Winter Jef ferson acquitted himself we'll despite tho fact that the audience was constantly drawing comparison between his art an1 that of his father. Joseph Jefferson as Sir Lucus O'Trigger was acceptable.
 The two brothers were given admirable support. Arthur Stanford as Captain As- solute was excellent. He had spirit and acquitted himself handsomely in every situation that called forth a display of his histrionic powers. The veteran John Jack gave his familiar portrayal of Sir Anthony, and Rosa Rand was eminently successful as Mrs Malaprop. Blanche Bender as Lydia Languish was pretty and quite pleasing the maid who had her heart set on an elopement.
 The performance was greatly enjoyed. The laughter that greeted the famous duel scene proved that "The Rivals" still holds its old-time popularity.

 On the vote Mir Blackburn's amendment was tabled. The amendment of Mir. White, instructing the committee, was also lost.
 The vote was then taken on the resolu- ton of Judge Howze, which was carried by an overwhelming vote. On motion of Capt. Frank s. White, Colonel Johns name was added to the committee of fifteen to work in favor of a bill.
 On motion of Attorney Tillman the meeting was adjourned.
