partments.
| The Department OF Indiana organic
ing SO late, had printed a good supply
OF all the printed matter, and had 1t on
hand then. and at the first Convention
of the Grand Army Of the Republic at
Indianapolis, Nov 90, 1865.
The Whole Claim Of Indiana.
In this fact lies the whole claim of
Indiana. They did furnish the other
States and all corners with printed mat
ter and on this simple fact they make
the astounding claim that they are en-
titled to the credit Of organizing the
G. A. r. in the whole country!
l pass by the fact that in 1870 the
Grand Army of the Republic disap-
was not heard of again until in 1879,
| when Edgar d. Swain, Department
Commander of Illinois, Gen. Joseph s.
Reynolds, Past Department Comman-
der of Illinois. and Comrade e. w.
Chamberlain, Department Inspector OF
ment of Indiana. The Post at Terre
Haute was Post No. 81 of Illinois. The
| Post at South Bend was Post No. "a
OF Illinois. Aug. II. 1879. Gen. Swain
appointed Capt. John b. Hagar Pro-
visional Commander and Jay Cumming
| Adjutant-General, and the Department
was formally organized Oct. l, 1879.
The prepOsterous claim that Gen.
Foster was, on Nov. 90, 1865, the only
Department Commander and that Maj.
Oliver M. Wilson was the only Adju-
tant-General in the Grand Army OF
the Republic, can only be accounted for
by the fact either that they did not
know what was going on In the other
States. or, depending upon lapse of
memory, they thought they might
claim honors which did not belong to
them.
But to make this claim in 1901, Is
years after the whole question had
been settled by the National Encamp-
ment on the most irrefragable docu-
-mentary proofs, and while there are
hundreds Of living witnesses who can
prove the falsity of their claims, gives
rise to establishment and Indignation.
The claims of Indiana in the report
approved by it's Encampment of 1901
are foolish and wicked and unWar-
ranted by the well-known history of
the formation of the Grand Army OF
the Republic.

Editor National Tribune: read an
article in The National Tribune of Sept
FL, from G. w. NATION, Of Duron,
Mich, inquiring what troops guarded
Gen. Sheridan on his famous ride Oct.
10, 1854. There was a detail of $50 men
from the 18th Pa. Cav. with Gen. Sheri-
dan from Winchester to the front. They
rode for the first 10 miles till they met
one Of the staff, who told of the defeat
of his army. Sheridan turned to the
officer in command OF the troop and
told him to pick out so of the best
horses to follow him. and form a Skin
mish line with the rest. Out Of the so
there were only seven kept up with
Sheridan. Franklin Beaver, of Co. H,
was one of them. He came home in
June, IS. sick, and died July 1, 1865.
There was none Of Sheridan's staff with
him. He was on his way back from
Washington, arriving at Winchester the
night before.-C. p. Mears, Co. H, 18th

One of Augustus physicians had a
little miShap, Friday. which happily.
however resulted in no more serious
consequences than good duckilS. He
was called up into the country to see
n patient, and as the patients cOndi-
ticn required that the doctor remain
for several hours in order to note the
effect of the medicine, that Gentlcman
decided to try Il little fishing in 4
stream near the house. Accordingly.
he and another man took Il boat and
went ont. Everything went well until
the doctor hooked Il big pickercl. AS
he saw the fish he had to deal with, he
stood up in the boat in order to handle
his pole to better advantage, but just
thcn something happened that made
him sit down. He meant to sit on tn"
seat IF the boat. but the craft was Il
small one. and instead of landing where
he expected to, he went overheard and
out Of sight into the stream. The wa
ter was not very deep, but he got just
AS wet as if il had been and lost his
fish in the bargain. He eventually got
his clothes dry enough To come home
in, but the next time he goes out in Il
boat he won't try standing up.
