different kinds than any other body in
the civil war. Part Of the time they
were under the command of a general

Elicit, and then again under an adj

RECALLS EZRA CHURCH
CAPTAIN Stone Tells of Bloody Repulse
Given Hood.

: Captain Hubbard Stone of Fort
Smith, Ark, is one Of the veterans Of
the Atlanta campaign to whom the pic
ture of General Sherman in e } o r
al brings stirring reconections. 1t
was about the time that picture was
taken that Hood attacked the Army Of
the Tennessee at Ezra church, before
Atlanta, and was repulsed with such
terrible slaughter.
"Hood hoped by massing his whole
SO beat Sherman in detail,'' says Cap
tain Stone, who was captain Of Conn
pany H, Fifty-seventh Ohio, and in
the brunt Of that bloody fight. His
attack was great blunder, because
our position overlooked a deep swale,
and his men charged across it directly
under our fire. They charged five times,
and did not drive us back foot. At
ter each repulse they huddled in con-
fusion below, and the slaughter was
heavy. After the battle they lay by
thousands along the creek, and tho
sights saw make me sad even now to
recall them"
Captain Stone partially lost his hear
ing at Resaca from the explosion OF q
she'll which killed q lieutenant at his
side. He enlisted as private and
had won his company when he was
taken sick just after Ezra Church, and
saw no more service. He greatly re-

heroism Of the soldiers is exemplified
by flag exhibited at the encampment.

Division of Delegates More Marked Meeting Draws to
close-Visitors Bring Home Troubles to National
Gathering-Exciting Election Held Today.

Feminine feuds and fuses continue
to mar the sessions of the Ladies Of
the G.. A. R. There has never been
held in Minneapolis a convention
marked by more bitter partizanship:
The battle Of the "sets' in which
have been divided was at its height
today. Personalities have been con-
spicuous thruout the week, and the
spirit of animosity that has been en-
gendered threatens to form continu-
ing breach of uncertain seriousness un-
less somebody acts quickly and author
itatively.
Ambition for office and a desire to
rule are obviously the elements that
created the division.
Three States Divided. Il
Members Of the Illinois, Pennsylva-
MIA and Minnesota delegations have
been openely belligerent. The delega-
tion of each of these states has been
disorganized by partizanship and diff
ferences of opinion as to certain can
In Minnesota it has been the divided
sentiment about the candidacy of Mrs.
Lobdell for national president. This
campaign has also caused divisions in
other delegations. :.
Inc Illinois Row.
Illinois women frankly declare that
there are two distinct ''sets - In the
delegation from that" state. They say
that strife and bitterness date back to
the time when Mrs. Mary T. Hager
was running for the office of national
president. Friends of Mrs. Louis Ow.
ems wanted the office for her at that
time. Both Mrs. Hager and Mrs. Ow.
ems are past department presidents of
illinois, Three years ago both were
doomed for national president. The
partizans were equally unwilling tc
compromise. The campaign was siren
uous and created much ill-feeling, SC
illinois delegates explained today. Mrs
Hager was elected. The Owens fol
lowers, it was declared, could not be
consoled, and have since chung TO-
gether. -
The friends Of Mrs. Hager, eager tc
contribute more to her honor, organ

ger Staff association. This association
held a meeting early this week. One
member who attended, telling news

staff, mentioned that a lot had beer

in office-that has been the custom Of
the order. The national president al

from her own state, so they may work
together. If Mrs. Shannon were elect

turned as treasurer because that would
give Pennsylvania three national Of

is desert bed by delegate from a

several years.

ONE OF THE FOUNDERS
Mrs. Fuller Of Boston an Interesting
w. r. @. Figure.

Mrs. Sarah E. Fuller Of Boston is,
perhaps, the most important woman at
the W. R. C. convention, for she was
largely instrumental in organizing the
great order. Mrs. Fuller was the pres
chusetts, which then was not known as
relief corps. She was only bride
in those first days Of the civil war, but
she threw herself heart, soul and hands
into the work of the Christian and san
