THE CETTYBURG GUN.
A Piece of Rhode Island Artillery
Which Performed Good Serv-
ice in War.

The state of Rhode Island has now
as a treasured relic a cannon which
belonged to Battery B, First r. 1. L.
A, and a resolution is before the
general assembly authorizing the ap-
preparation of $500 for the erection of
a tablet on the Gettysburg battlefield
to mark the place where the gun was
last in action. On the tablet will be
placed the name of Alfred G. Card
ner, whose hand placed the shot in
the muzzle and sealed it with his
blood"
The battery, better known as Haz-
yards, belonged to the Artillery bril-
gade, Second corps. with its captain
commanding the brigade and Lieut..
T. Frederick Brown commanding the
battery. At Gettysburg the battery
lost one officer and six men killed
and one officer and IS men wounded.
and the five batteries of the brigade
were so shattered that they had to be
consolidated into three. During the
f1ercest of the fight William Jones was
No. 1 and Alfred G. Gardner No. at
the piece. Gardner was in the act of
taking the shot from No. 5, over the
wheel, when he was struck by a
rebel shell, which tore off his arm
and shoulder and then struck the muz-
zle of the gun and exploded. instant
ly killing Jones. Gardner lived for a
very few minutes. Sergt- Albert
Straight was in command of the
piece, and ran to Gardner, who took
from his pocket his Bible, and, hand
ing it to Sergt- Straight, said: Give
this to my wife, and tell her died
happy" Sergt. Straight then turned
to the gun and tried to force down
the shot which Gardner had placed in
the muzzle, but owing to the bruised
condition it would not go down in
spite of Sergt Straight's pounding it
with an ak. AS the gun cooled it
xripped the shot in the muzzle as in
q wise.

PHONETIC PHENOMENON.
How the 80" Came to Be Left Out In

They were talking about spelling reform
and the idiosyncrasies of English spelling
in general, relates Success Magazine.
There's that very word phonetic said
one of the men; that's a sample of Eng
lish spelling. The reformers call their
system the phonetic system and yet
they have to spell phonetic with pho
in order to let people know what they
mean. The very word that means spelled
as pronounced il far from it as pos
sible.''
Now, now!" drawled his friend, "you're
too hard on the good old English speller.
You ought to be proud of phonetic
Why, that word is so trimmed down,
and sawed off, and cut short. that t
wouldn't know it was English If met it
thank the language for the word. It is a
beautiful word. That pho might have
been spelled like dough and the net
like 'ette' in 'rosette,' and the 'ic' like
the 'hq' in liquor That would be a
good old-style English word-phough-

TRANSFORMATIONS.
Curious Results When Coffee Drink
ing Is Abandoned.

1t is almost as hard for an old coffee
topper to quit the use of coffee as it is for
whisky or tobacco fiend to break of,
except that the coffee user can quit cof-
fee and take up Postum Food Coffee
without any feeling of loss of the
morning beverage, for when Postum Is
well boiled and served with cream, it
Is really better in point of flavor than
most of the coffee served nowadays,
and to the taste of the connoisseur it
Is like the flavor of fine Java.
A great Transformation takes place in
the body within ten days or two weeks
after coffee is left on and Postum Food
Coffee used, for the reason that the pol
son to the nerves has been discontinued
and in its place is taken liquid that
contains the most powerful elements OF
nourishment-
1t Is easy to make this test and prove
these statements by changing from cof-
fee to Postum Food Coffee.
There's reason" -

The Local Paper.

The city papers are all right if you
want them, but it is the local papers
that advertise your business. your
schools. your numerous societies, SYM
pathizes with you in your affections and
rejoice in your prosperity; in short. it
is your local paper that mentions the
thousand and one items in which you
are interested during the year. and
which the city papers do not. 1t is the
home paper that records your birth,
publishes your marriage end chronicles
your death. To the great journals the
forty page compendium of the daily
happenings of the world you are not
even cipher. To get the least notice
from them you must steal slOO. 600.
commit an atrocious murder. or have a
half dozen living wives. But your local
papers watch over you with loving So
licitudc all the time. II you are sick it
is sorry and hopes tina, you will SO n be
well. II tells when you come and GO
when your house burns down. or you
build new one: when your Johnny has

measles. and how much your little Pete
weighs on arrival. And when you re-

Denver Stock Market.

DENVER UNION STOCK YARDS, Aug
ust 27.-Prices held up we'll here last
week and choice beef cattle sold little
stronger and Notwithstanding all east
ern markets were considerably lower.
Local demand was very strong and kill
ers could not get as many good steers
as they needed. Common cattle are
fully steady and selling much better
than few weeks ago. One load OF
fancy dry lot steers sold during the
week at IS. 80 with straight grass steers
up to s4.4O and bulk of the good ones
around s4.OO. Cow stuff was in good
demand A few choice heifers sold at
1856 with others at $3.40 to $3.50 and
most of the fair to good at s2.75 to
s3.25. Quality of the cows now COM
ing is better than few weeks ago and
everything sells readily, Feeder and
stocker market was quiet as there was
not much here. Buyers hav. plenty of
orders and a good many country feed
ers have been here looking for steers
to put in their lots but few are coming
and most of them have gone home dis
appointed. The run from now on how
ever. is expected to be good and there
will be plenty of buyers here to take
everything offered. The trade gener-
ally is looking for high priced feeders
this fall. Range cattle are said to be
in the best condition for years and
great many usually marketed as feed
ers will go as beef this fall which
means scarcity of the former. With
big corn crop all over the country the
demand for feeders is bound to be good
and higher prices are predicted. The
local market is in fine shape aud with a
strong demand here for everything Of
fered in the beef line and plenty OF
buyers for all feeders and stockers
that can come this way it looks as
though the shipper who goes to some
other market before trying this one
will make big mistake. Prices paid
here are higher without taking into
consideration the saving in freight and
shrink.
