LAST Casualty in Civil War.

Dr. Clayton Tiffin, well-known
physician and surgeon of Hamilton,
Mo, had the distinction of command
ing the Union soldiers who fought the
last battle of the civil war in which
life was lost. During the struggle
he commanded at different times
three companies at Richmond, Mo. His
last command was composed of vet
Grams of Ray and Carroll counties,
who had been mustered out but had
rc-eniisted under him.
II was with a handful of these that
he had an encounter on May 90, 1865,
with the remaining remnant of Bill
Anderson's bushwhackers and guCr-
rillas. Anderson had been killed, and
Arch Clemons, who had been his first
Lieutenant, was in command. The
engagement was fought about eight
miles from Richmond. Capt. Tifiin
mad with him only five men. They
were fired upon from ambush by the
bushwhackers, and. Madison Walker
was killed. Capt. Tihln was himself
shot through the toe of his boot, the
bali not cutting the flesh.
This skirmish occurred about G:3O
o'clock IN the evening Of the day men
toned. Capt. Tinin was reinforced
and pursued ClemOns' command all
night, and the guerriIlas surrendered
the next morning at Lexington. Three
days later, May 2G, 1865, Kirby Smith
surrendered all the Confederate sol.
dicrs west Of the Mississippi river and
all who had opposed the union forces
had been disarmed,
Capt. Tifin is quite sure the last
fight was in Ray county and that Mad
ison Walker was the last soldier in
that great struggle to give up his life.

Cherishes His Old Flag.

G. C. Large of Taylorville, H., has
in his possession the remnants of a
flag which was made by the women
of Buckhart township in 1860. 1t was
carried by the One Hundred and Fif-
teenth Illinois regiment of Spring
field, where the regiment was named
Mary Lincoln, in honor of the wife of
Abraham Lincoln. The flag was not
taken through the war, as only the
national colors are used in the ma
tional service, but it was brought
back to Christian county, where it
has since remained. 1t has been used
in every political campaign since the
war, but this is the first time it has
ever seen a Republican candidate for
president victorious in Christian coun-
ty. The flag was made entirely by
hand and shows beautiful workman

unpatrIotlc school Teacher.

The Woman's Relief Corps of Tole.
do. Ohio, recently preferred charges
against a school teacher of Wood
county. His school was presented
with an American flag and when re-
ceived the teacher was evidently not
in a patriotic mood, for instead Of
unfurling it at the top of the school
house staff he buried the emblem upon
the dirty floor and invited the schol-
ars TO participate in war dance upon
the flag, which invitation seems to
have been accepted.
