Our Greatest Arsenal.

During the Civil War Rock Island
was called into unexpected service. At
the very outbreak of hostilities the
island suggested itself as a suitable
place to care for the prisoners Of war
and extensive barracks were construct
ed, with a hospital, officers quarters
and other necessary buildings. Over
10000 confederate prisoners were con-
fined there
Horace was indeed wise when he
counseled to prepare for war in times
Of peace, but that advice was disre-
garded, and when, in 1898, war was
declared with Spain, it found us I'M
prepared, but the Rock Island Arsenal
promptly responded to the call. The
force Of WOrkmen was increased from
500 to nearly 5000, and the necessary
articles were poured out in like pro-
portion. Even then it was ia days
before the soldiers could be made
ready for action.
Had Spain been in q position to take
advantage of the delay, our victory
might have been less decisive.
1t is not the object of the arsenal
to encourage war, but to prepare for
it when it becomes inevitable; in the
words of Washington: ITO be pre-
pared for war is the most effectual
means of preserving peace" -Four

Old Fellow Tells of the Gold Seek
ers' Trials.
James A. Wainwright, of Oakland,
Cal, one of the original forty-niners,
who fought their way to California
during the great gold rush, was in st.
Louis for short time last week. Mr..
Wainwright, who is nearly so years
old, came here from Philadelphia,
where he had been visiting a grand
son. He was met here by a nephew,
Frank Blair, Of Chicago, and the two
dined at the Planters and later de-
parted together for Oakland.
Mr.. Wainwright is active and able
to travel alone. He made the trip
from Oakland to Philadelphia alone
and returned as far as St Louis.
where his nephew met him. The two
will finish the journey together.
Mr. Wainwright grew reminiscent
last night when he was seen in the
lobby of the Planters.
Il can tell YOU" he said, ''it is far
different travelling these days than it
was fifty-six years ago. That is a long

AS they rode ahead the valley of
the Oxus narrowed until not more
than quarter mile strip was hemmed
between age-grown breaks cut with
washouts, gullies and deep ravi1es.
The still atmosphere of the near

were afraid you'd have it in for us as

up, we kept still. That's the trouble
chiefly.
Last night when you fellows

caught it from them. l was only 81
years old, but boys in those days seem
to me to have been much older and
larger than their years.
There were no railroads and the
trip would have to be made by wagon.
A large number of outfits were start
Ing from st. Louis, and four of us boys
came here. 1t was a far different city
in those days, can tell you, from
what it is now.
Outfits were starting for the West
every day and l joined one Of them.
1t was a strenuous trip and we had
many an experience. The Indians
were cutting up high jinks and we al
most had to fight our way across. In
one of the Indian fights one of my
companions who had started on the
trip with me, was injured and died
few days later. We buried him on
the plains, poor fellow, and searching
for his grave now would be like look
ing for needle in haystack.

had made some money and with it I
started supply store near one Of the
big camps. A few weeks convinced
me that l had adopted the better
course.
Justice in those days was rapid
and such thing as a small technicali-
ty bringing about a stay and a new
trial was not to be thought of. AS is
always the case, a bad element was
attracted by the gold fields and this
element lived by robbing the more In
dustrious workers. Robbery was pun
ishable by death, and the guilty man
was generally discovered and paid the
penalty.
II remember one incident that was
somewhat amusing and yet rather
gruesome. A worthless chap by the
name of Billings, located near our
camp. He had pretty wife and two
children, but he was a brute pure and
simple. He never did bit Of work
and yet he seemed to have money
enough to buy whisky, and then after
getting drunk he would beat his wife.
A committee Of the reliable citizens of
the camp took his case in hand one
night and decided that it would be bet
ter if Billings was out Of the way. He
had been suspected of several jobs and
was soon brought before the committee
charged with the crime. His trial was
short and he was sentenced to be
hanged.
''Just before the sentence was to be
carried into effect one Of the commit
tee spoke about the wife and asked
how she was to get along without some
support Another man said that the
only thing to do was to get her an
other husband. Well, Billings was
hanged and the camp was rid of bad
man. Two days later Mrs. Billings
was married to a thrifty miner who
had always had liking for her. and
everything was as good as could be.
"Those things all happened many
years ago." said Mr.. Wainwright, in
conclusion, "but they do not seem to
be so far back to me"-St. Louis Re

Protect the Dumb Animals.

AS the season is here when animals
are tormented by all sorts of winged
pests, the following from the Live Stock
Record is worthy of reproductions: Take
coal tar two parts and coal oil and
grease one part and mix with small
amount of carbolic acid. Applying with
a cloth moistening the hair and horns OF
the animal with the liquid. In the ap-
plications include feet and legs and it
will drive every fly away. One applica-
ton will last ten days or more in dry
weather and your cows will be entirely
secure from flies of all kind, and any old
kind of lard or grease can be used. Coal
tar is the base of the remedy and when
too thick to spread use more coal oil.
