Lees Military Genius.


One day during the war between the
states General Lee sent for General
Gordon and said to him: Take these
regiments --mentioning some-"and so
to Spottsylvanin. Be there tomorrow
morning."
In surprise, General Gordon asked
why troops were needed at that partic-
ular spot.
Because" replied General Lee,
"Grant will be there"
Nothing had been heard Of Grants
movements for long time. but Cen
eral Gordon supposed General Lee had
had some dispatches which had in
formed him Of Grants nearness. He
asked If this was SO.
mo-" said Lee, but Grant ought to
be there, and he will be-" Lee was n
great general himself and knew what
a great general should do. He had
studied out Grants plans from the
place where. he last heard Of him and
decided where he would next make his
appearance.
General Gordon went to Spottsylva-
mia. Grant was there, and one of the
fiercest battles of the war was fought.

Obituary.

William Henry Malvin, son OF
Samuel and Sarah Malvin, both de-
ceased, was born in the Dickson set
Element, Delaware county, in lS49,
and was one of family twelve chill
dren, seven of whom survive him.
Those still living are Mrs. Jane Cloud
of Earlville; Mrs. Elizabeth Carpen-
ter of Farley; Edward T. Malvin of
Salem, Oregon; Marion G. Malvin of
Rhodes, Ia; anG Samuel S., Charles
D. and Sarah Belle, who still reside
on the old farm near Colesburg,
which was also Williams home and
the scene of his death. Those who
have preceded him into the great be-
yond are Phillip S. Malvin, Dyers-
vile; Mrs. Anna NJ. Skinner of Port
Jcrvis, Orange county, New York;
David and Joseph G. Malvin, btoh
of Colesburg. William received his
preparatory education in the com
mon schools of this county. after
which he spent two years at Grin
nell, by which he was we'll fitted for
the affairs Of life. His whole life was
spent upon the farm where, though
lie was long afflicted with chronic
disease, he was always found at his
post of duty, an earnest, patient toll
er, always patient and uncomplain-
ing. The position which his father
had heldswith relation to his family
was taken up by William after his
fathers death. and through the re-
naming years of his life he has no
bly, filed his fathers place, giving
effective aid and loving counsel to i
.him.t
For over thirty years he has been
associated with the Congregational
church of Colesburg, of which he
was a loyal and consistent member.
His quiet and unassuming life was
free from strife, peace among his
neighbors and friends being his con
slant aim. AS his life was full of
peace, so also was his death. The
light of life went out without a strug-
gle; his last days on earth were
marked by complete resignation to
the fate which he felt was coming,
but which no one expected SO soon.
The funeral services were held in
the Congregational church, and in
terment took place the Brown GEM
ietery. Sc

An Cnhappy Married Woman Opens
Her Heart to Young Women.
A woman who has had very unhap-
py married life gives this advice to
young women:
Don't marry n man to reform him.
It can't be done unless he is under
twenty-five.
The woman who permits her heart
to rule her head makes sad mistake.
II girl loves man, no matter how
dissipated or selfish he may be, she
plunges into matrlmony with her eyes
closed.
No woman should ever depend en-.
tirely on her husband for happiness.
It is folly and lends always to heart
ache. A married woman should have
life apart from her husband.
Let her keep sweet and true and
sovable, but beyond a certain point she
should not venture lest she lose her
individuality in her husbands, with the
result that he will impose upon her.
Beware of man with an ungov-
ernable temper, and almost all men
are endowed with this quality.
Shun the man who drinks to excess,
for 1t is habit that leads to wretch
edness.
Avoid also the man who is selfish,
the man who considers always his own
interests before those of his wife.
All men are tickle. and it depends on
the wife's power to hold them.-Baltl-

Washington, Jan. "a. S. H.
Cowan, of Fort Worth, Texrs, rep
resenting the Cattle Raisers' Asso-
citation of Texas, was heard today
by the house committee on inter
state and foreign commerce on the
bills to give further power to the
interstate commerce commission.
He said the cattle men believed they
had been injured by the advanced
rates, and had made complaint to
the interstate commerce commits
sion. Throughout the entire South
west, he said, it was the universal
opinion of cattlemen that the freight
rates on cattle were too high. The
railroads, he added, have said in de-
fense of advanced rates that they
should be permitted to share in the
general prosperity of the country,
Dut ne SAID II there was anything In
that theory, they should also share
in adversely. There is absolutely
no competition in the rates on cattle
from the Southwest, declared Mr..
Cowan. He said that in was not
known to what extent the railroads
of this country have combined to
advance rates unreasonably.

To Advertise Mail Order Houses

To advertise Mail Order Houses.
A building has already been erect
ed and a publication, backed by large
capitol, will soon be started in Kan
sas City, the principal object of
which will be to advertise mail Or
der houses among the farmers of the
central west. We do not know how
the publication is to establish it's
circulation under the law, but even
if it is not admitted to the mails as
fourth class mail matter, such a pub
hcation, with theenormous financial
support it will undoubtedly have,
can easily afford to pay second class
postage to reach the people. Any
way, the result will be the same. 1t
will be the most effective blow ever
before aimed at the small merchants
in country towns, and unless they
Offset it's baneful influence by more
thorough and systematic advertising
in their local papers, it is easy to
see the effect it will produce. Per-
sonally we have nothing to complain
of in this regard, as the most of our
merchants are good advertisers, but
it is the ultimate general result
which is to be feared.
Country merchants, if they would
save and protect themselves from
this approaching mensce, must at
once adopt the system long in vogue
by the mail order houses i. e. not
only keep their names continually
before the public through the medi-
um of local papers, but also adver-
tise prices.
When the country merchant adopts
this plan and augments it by more
thoroughly systematising his adver-
tising, by concluding to set aside a
certain per cent of his profits for
that purpose, and then adopts the
plan of quoting prices on his goods,
he can more successfully meet the
encrouchment of his troublesome
competitors, the mail order houses,
and consequently have less cause to
growl about people sending away fol
their necessities.
The above is not written with any
selfish motive in view, for, as we
haYe previously remarked, this pa.
per has nothing to complain of ii
this regard; but is intended as Z
warning which the country merchant
who reads it will ultimately find ou
was perfectly justihable.-Greens

The sheriff from Las Vegas, N.
M. was here last Sunday and took
the span of mules back to New Mex
leo, which had been stolen from
there. About two months ago a
stranger came along here and sold
the mules to Mr.. John Kibby for
$500, he paying s1oo down and de-
posted the balance to be paid when
he was ordered to by a certain bank
at Las Vegas. 1t seems that the
thief had an accomphce there who
wired Mr.. Kibby that the mules
were alright. Mr.. Kibby had sold
the mules to Mr.. P. ]. Lee, condi-
tionally, as it was suspected that the
mules were stolen property. The
horsethief was killed near the New
Mexico line a few days ago, after
being cought with some stolen horses.
He showed fight and the deputy
sheriffs left him on the spot and
brought the horses to Dalhart,
Texas. We presume Mr.. Kibby
will lose the S1oo, but he will have
the satisfaction of knowing that the
thief is dead. Mr.. Lee will lose
nothing.
A special from Washington says,
"The granting of pension of $50
per month by the house to day to
Edmund G. Ross, directs attention
to the condition of a man who was
one of the central figures in the i'm
peachment of Andrew Johnson,
President of the United States. He
had been reduced to penury and
want and for a number of years has
been eking out a preearious exist
ence as printer, setting type on
country newspaper in New Mexico.
His home has been at Albuquerque
for some years. Delegate Rodey,
of New Mexico, introduced the bill
for his relief and it passed the house
this afternoon. Ross was United
States Senotor from Kansas at the
time of the impeachment proceed
ings in the Johnson case were in
progress and was depended upon to
vote for the impeachment. When
the time came for the vote however,
he declined to vote for the impeach-
ment and thereby lost caste with the
people of Kansas. He was at the
time editor of paper at Lawrence,
where he returned after leaving the
Senate. The circulation of his pa
per fell off to such an extent that he
was unable to keep it gong and he
removed to Albuquerque"
