A Wonderful Spring,

It may be Of interest to our subscrib-
ers and all readers of The Journal
to learn that in the basement of the
factory of the Lauritzen Malt COM
pany's plant, in this city, 1900 Third
Street Northeast, is wonderful spring.
the water of which is absolutely mex.
haustible. Every drop of water used in
their very fine malt products comes
from this spring. The water is as clear
as a crystal, cold as ice the year
around, and affords an abundant sup
ply at all times for all purposes. Such
water is a great factor in the product
of their famous malt beverages.

TWO MEN OF NERVE.
Dramatic Incident of the Siege of
Varsovie.

It is doubtful if the soldiers Of any
nation are braver than those of Rus
sia. It is related Of field Marshall
Paskievitch that in the course Of the
siege Of Varsovie, being somewhat
disconnected by hot fire from GER
tain battery, he ordered it to be shell
led, but to a purpose. His troops did
not seem able to locate the enemy
and their shot had no effect. Final
" the field marshall himself gallop-
ed forward and sternly commanded:
"What irnbecile is in. command
here?'
~ am,'' answered ap officer who
approached.
"Well, captain, I shall degrade
you, since you do not know your
business. Your shells have no effect. -
"True, sir, but it is not my fault.
The shells do not ignite.'' -
"Tell that to- others. Don't come
trying to fool me with such chaff.
You will receive your punishment this
evening""
The captain coolly took a shell
from a pile near by, lit the fuse and,
holding it in palms Of his hands, pre-
sented it to the marshal, saying:
"See for yourself, sir"
The marshall folding his arms
across his breast, stood looking at the
smoking shell. It was solemn mo-
ment. Both men stood motionless,
awaiting the result. Finally the fuse
burned out, and the captain threw
the shell to the ground.
"It's true" remarked the marshall
turning away to consider other meas
ures to silence the enemy's fire.
In the evening, instead Of punish
ment the captain received the cross Of
the Order of St. Vladimir

RETURNING BATTLE FLAGS.
Fine Spirit Shown Toward Confed-
crate Sentiment.

A year ago this month congress
adopted the joint resolution authoriz-
ing the secretary Of war to return the
Confederate and Union battle flags
that in the custody Of the war de-
partment to organization that had
fought under them. As soon as the
resolution was approved the depart
ment began its work, and by the end
OF June all the flags that could be
Identified had been distributed, the
governors Of the states receiving them
from the Federal authorities. It was
found, however, that 2SS Confeder-
ate flags and 164 Union flags were
left In the department, it being i'm
possible to tell by what organization
they had been carried.
The war department decided to
transfer the Union flags to the West
Peint military academy to be kept
with, the other relics preserved there.
What to do with the Confederate
flags was a problem. It was evident
that congress and the nation did not
want them retained by the federal
government as trophies, but no GUS
todian had been named to receive
them and the secretary Of war had no
authority to dispose Of them. In his
annual report Major-General Aims
worth, military secretary Of the de-
partment, suggested that the uniden-
titled flags should be given into the
keeping Of one Of the Confederate
memorial or historical societies to be
preserved with the care ''that those
who followed them in battle would be
glad to bestow upon them" "
20 carry out this appropriate plan
the house committee on military af-
fairs has reported a resolution au-
thorizing the secretary of war to
transfer the flags to the Confederate
Memorial Literary society Of Rich
mond. Thus the government will: re-
lieve itself Of the flags, the retention
Of which was sure to create not lit
tie Ill feeling among the men who
fought under them, and the banners
will have a proper resting place in
the Confederacy's capital city. There
is no opposition to this plan in any
quarter, and not the least interesting
feature Of the successful movement
for the return Of the flags is the fact
that no protest against it has been
made in congress or by any infiuen-
tial organization or person anywhere.
