EXECUTION OF A TRAITOR.
About the Most Impressive and Sol
emn and Dramatic Act
Imaginable.

'"The solemnity of a military execu-
tion is about the most impressive and
dramatic act that is known in human
affairs" said Capt W. b Pennington,
of San Francisco. "These features ap-
peal to the witnesses of the tragedy
in forceful way, and no man who
has ever seen one can Danish it from
his memory.
II had a young friend in California
who enlisted in the union army at the
same time with myself, and, coming
east, we were placed in the same
company. This young fellow fell in
love with Virginia girl, and under
her influence deserted to the enemy.
A few days afterward he was captured,
and, being easily recognized, was con-
demned to be shot. He had fought
like demon in the engagement which
resulted in his being made prisoner.

be If taken. His execution was the most

"A case of especial interest to women is
that of Mrs. A. Wellatt, wife of we'll

given in her own words.
Il could not sleep, my feet were cold
and my limbs cramped," Mrs. Wellatt
states. Il had an awful hard pain
across my kidneys. 1 had to get up
three or four times in the night. l was
very nervous and fearfully despondent.
Il had been troubled in this way for
five years when / commenced to uss

caused to come from my kidneys will

l can sleep well, my limbs do not cramp;
l do not get up in the night, and l feel
better than I have in years. l owe my
health to Dodd's Kidney Pills"
Womens ills are caused by Diseased
Kidneys; that's why Dodd's Kidney Pills
always cure them.

Afoot or on horseback, regular or

of other lands, but he fights harder
With fewer numbers he accomplishes
greater results. He has patience illim-
liable in face of turbulent mob of
his own people, but he pulls trigger
quick, sudden, and sure when he gets
the word. He is the bugbear of DEM
agogue orators before an election, but
the sure defense of society at any
time. He presided over Chicago's
early infancy, and thrice since the great
civil war has he come with fixed bay
onets to stand between her and an
archy.
He is proud of his flag and his coun-
try. He is stout-hearted, clean-limbed,
1aw-abiding, self-respecting, as rule.
He wants to be held and hailed as a
man, not boy. He devotes reasonable
time and thought to his drill, but he
delights in healthful. hearty outdoor

dogged tenacity, and all the time
shoot with greater skill and precision
than any other man-at-arms of all the

THE FIRST AND LAST GUNS
Story in Support of Claim That the
Last Shot Was Fired at Macon
and Not Columbus, Ga.

The first gun fired was at Fort Sum-
ter, and the last was fired at Macon.
Some interesting stories have been
published about the firing of the last
gun, and the statement has been made
that it was done at Columbus, Ga. The
facts were ascertained recently from MIR.
d. e. King, the commercial agent of the
Missouri Pacific railroad, at Albany,
Ga. Mr. King said:
Il was in the federal army and be-
longed to the First Ohio cavalry, in
Gen. Wilson's command. We reached
Columbus. Ca, on April II, 1865, and
stayed there three days after which we
marched to Macon.
while on the march We were fired
at frequently by scouts or bushwhack-
ers, and the advance guard, after some
little accommodating, would return the
shots and advance. l was an orderly
under Gen. Alexander, who had charge
of the advance forces, and when We were
within seven or eight miles of Macon
we were met by a party of gentlemen
citizens of Macon-who asked lis not to
enter the city, as an armistice had been
declared.
81 went myself to Gen. Wilson and
notified him of what the delegation OF
citizens said. He went forward and
had talk with them. was there and
overheard everything that was said.
Gen. Wilson said that he had not been
officially notified of the armistice, and
that he intended to establish his head
quarters in Macon that night.
"He told the citizens that he would
not allow his soldiers to disturb any
thing or anybody, but that his entrance
to the city would be peaceable. He was
informed that the confederates had
forces stationed across the river from
Macon and beyond the railroad where
he would enter.
I'VE proceeded to the city, and, after
entering it, we could see the confed.
crate camp to our right. While march
ing through the streets, three shots
directed at the column came from the
confederates, without effect, and We
proceeded ON the march. This was
the last gun fired. l do not remember
the date, but 1t was between the goth
and Both Of April, 1865. Atlanta Con-
