Can Anyone Help Him.

Emanuel w. Luster at present con-
fined in the Sisters Hospital, Council
Bluffs, Iowa, wants to know if Capt

and to what regiment he belonged
Comrade Luster is a very old man, and

an apple tree near, and it didn't take
him very long to decide what to do.
When he got back with the chick the
relief guard had come up, and he was
put under arrest. In the morning he
was sent to Gen. Oglesby, commanding.
The General called his cook, who took
the chicken with a grin, and Comrade
Hendricks was sent to his regiment with
an oath not to do it again.

Elias Baker, Pineville, Mo-, belonged

Army of the Tennessee.


Taking exception to the claim OF DIR.
a. n. Ellis that Nelson's Division saved
Grants army from destruction or cap
ture at Shiloh. w. ]. shelton, 10th Ohio,
Manchester. o., member of the Army
of the Tennessee, says that the results
of Sundays fighting, when Beauregard
ordered his troops to fall back about
sunset, convinced that further fighting
was useless to dislodge the enemy.
should be proof enough that the battle
was won by the Army of the Tennes-
see. 1t is true that part of Nelson's
Division arrived on the firing line in
time for regiment to fire few shots,
but the enemy was then retreating.
Comrade Shelton firmly believes that
the reinforcement of Gen. Lew Wall
lace's Division alone was all Grant
needed to whip the rebels on that occa-
sion without further assistance from
Nelson or anyone else. While Gen. Nell
son was a brave and gallant soldier he
was not the hero of Shiloh. Every di-
vision commander of the Army of the
Tennessee deserves as much, IL not
more, credit; for instance, Prentis and
w. H. l.. Wallace, who fell on that ter
rible field. Sherman. who almost ami
hilated Pat Cleburne's Division before
breakfast. deserves great credit The
Army of the Tennessee was brave, sue
cessful on every field, and always ready
to lend a helping hand. A part of it
marched $50 miles to the assistance OF
the Army of the Ohio at Chattanooga,
and then, footsore and tired out, went
on to Knoxville to help Burnside out Of
trouble; still. 1t was always modest and
never sung its own praises.
Cedar Creek.
Geo. S. Gass, Ringgold Cav, Mount
Pleasant, Iowa, referrins to the battle
of Cedar Creek, Oct. 19, 1854. quotes
from Comrade G. d. Mullihan. Co. D,
18th Pa Cav: I'VE were awakened on
Oct. 19 by heavy firing. and after a
hasty breakfast 1 reported to Cen Sher-
idan as escort to accompany him to the
front When we reached Middletown,
in the southern suburbs of Winchester.
we found stragglers from the front all
ready there" Comrade Gass knows the
locality well, and he says the distance
from Winchester to Middletown Is Is or
20 miles, and he thinks the stragglers
from the front must have done some
pretty tall running to have reached
Middletown at the time Comrade Multi
han says they did. He thinks there Is
remarkable amount of controversy
over this battle, and to his mind no sat
isfactory report has yet been given. He
does not understand how the rebels got
into the Union camps. surprising the
men in their tents. without knowing the
countersign. He thinks Comrade Multi
han is correct in most of his account,
but that he certainly is wrong in saying
that Middletown is suburb of Win
chester.

Why Discriminate.

Elias H. Demmon, 194th n. Y. Omro,
Wis, thinks there is very unfair dis
elimination made by the 90-days man
against the soldier of 15, 80 or 60 days.
of course, the men who served less than
80 days are comparatively few, but new
ertheless they enlisted in the defense of
their country and were holden for the
full term of their enlistments in case
of need. If they were not needed and
were discharged, why should they suf-
fer for this? No volunteer in his de-
clining years should be Disseminated
against on account of a few days of
time in service, and it is hoped that the

ments have been completed for the In

John III. Marble, attorney for the
commission, stated that fifty witnesses
had been subpenaed TO appear here.
These include grain shippers, railway
men, coal dealers, farmers and men
who are in any way connected with the
situation.
The car situation is bad In the South
also, Marble stated, it being practically
impossible to ship cotton. Oklahoma
and Indian Territory are feeling the
effect of the shortage, and the commits
sion will likely hear evidence from
Southern shippers after the holidays.
Aroused by the distressing predica-
ment of the North Dakotans. who face
zero weather with insufficient supplies
of fuel. the railroads will try to hurry
coal to the districts in which the need
is most imperative
Late yesterday afternoon the Great
Northern issued an order that no car
lot shipments of coal would be accepted
for points west of Grand Forks. This
applies to shipments originating at Du-
luth as we'll as at St. Paul and Min

Commissions Inquiry on
Great Shortage of Cars
FUEL FAMINE GROWS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.--The teie-
gram sent yesterday by the Interstate
Commerce Commission to the presi-
dents of various railway systems call.
ing their attention to complaints OF
car shortage and failure to transport
the necessities of life, brought replies
today from Vice President Pennington
Of the Minnea polls. St. Paul and Sault
Ste. Marie Railway: George B. Harris
President of the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy Railroad. and Marvin
Hughitt of the Chicago and North
western Railroad. None of the answers
however. is froni the railways sup
plying the territory where the shortag
of fuel is stated to exist.
Pennington telegraphed: There is
no blockade OF freight or shortage OF
cars on our lines west of Minneapolis
except what is due TO bad blizzards ia
the last few days"
President Harris of the Burlington
teiegraphed from Chicago:
We will endeavor TO comply and fur
nish prompt and satisfactory service.
and viii be much pleased to have any
suggestions you will kindly make
There has been no general or protract-
traffc on the Burlington, though IL is
true that in every territory there is oar
shortage and some congestion. due To
the fact that shippers, especially OF
coal, have little or no provision in the
way of shortage and always decline to
anticipate their orders, consequently
there is a general demand for coal in
the first real cold weather. We have
been able TO transport coal for all our
So
and to do something in the way of fur
nishing cars and transporting coal for
other railroads. II there is any specific
complaint on the Burlington road al
present ii has not been made known to
the officers Of this company, and II the
commission has received any complaint
as to our failure to transport coal on
the Burlington we will be Obliged if
you will give us the details and we will
guarantee prompt relief"
President Hughitt of the Chicago and
Northwestern said:
The Chicago and Northwestern Rail-
way Company is not falling at this
time. nor has 1t at any time failed to
furnish cars and to move them with
reasonable promptness both for fuel
and other commodities. and if there is
suffering for lack OF any commodities
at stations tributary 70 its lines, let
me assure you that it is not due to
failure on the part Of this company to
discharge its full duty in this respect.
] have during the last three weeks
been in frequent communication with
the Governor OF South Dakota on this
question The reports this morning in
dicate good supply of fuel at stations
on the line OF this company, especially
in Minnesota and South Dakota"
Senator Hansbrough of North Dakota
consulted the commission today and
declared that the situation regarding
fuel in his State is most deplorable and
that the public schools are closing on
account Of a lack of fuel. It is said at
the commissions Offices that for num-
Der Of years at this season there had
been complaints of q lack OF cars, but
that the situation was never so acute
as now.

ATTEMPT To STAY
DOUBASSOFF
Bombs and Bullets Whirr
About Admiral, and He
Grapples With Terrorist
MARVELLOUS ESCAPE

ST. PETERSBURG. Dec. I5.-Admiral
Doubassoff. formerly Governor of Mos
COW, was the object of a desperate at
tempt at assassination today in which
he received slight injuries. Three men
believed 10 be terrorists participated In
the attack. which took place while the
admiral was walking along a secluded
path Of the Tauride garden. A young
man. dressed as a workingman, ap-
preached and fired seven shots at him
from q revolver but missed. The ley
rorist turned and ran. with the admiral
in pursuit. Seeing that his capture was
imminent Doubassoff's assailant turn
ed, drew bomb from his pocket and
hurled il at his pursuer. Doubassoff
was thrown to the ground by the eN-
piosion. A Waterman ran up and
seized the terrorist
As the admiral was rising q second
terrorist appeared and threw a bomb
at him. which passed over his head
and did not explode. The second terror
ist then fired three shots from a re-
volver at the admiral and missed him.
DoubassofT threw himself upon the ter
rorist and disarmed and held him until
he was seized by the police The two
terrorists were taken to the nearest
police station. A third man succeeded
in escaping.
The attempt on Doubsssoffs life is
connected with the trials of revolution
lists in progress at Moscow. His assail-
ants are supposed 10 be workmen from
that city. who were seeking TO ayenge
their comrades. some Of whom have al
ready been condemned to death. The
attempt was one of a long series OF
plots against Doubassoff. due 10 the
part which he played in suppressing
the revolution in Moscow a year ago.
Three Of these conspiracies, in which
three young men and a young woman
% 2 highly connected family We're con-
cerned, were frustrated by the Mos
cow police. but another plot In May
resulted IN the admirars right leg be-
ing injured by bomb. from which in
jury he had only recently recovered.
The same leg was hurt again today.
owing TO the receipt Of letters warn
ing him that an attempt would be made
upon his life, Doubassoh permitted the
police OF St Petersburg to take ex-
traordinary precautions during the
marriage Of his daughter a week ago.
All the streets between the adnirais
residence and the church were closed
during the passage Of the bridal party.
The admiral, however. persisted in 60
ing out for walks withoutsescorts-
