In Memory Of 5. A. EIrod.

am thinking of You, father,
But with no anxious care;
You lifted up your heart to heaven,
Your hopes and trust were there.
Fond memory recalls your parting woyds,
While tears roll down my cheeks;
Your long, last look told moro
Then ever words could speak.
Father has crossed with the 'Boatman pale,
think hear q dip of the golden oar,
Aud catch q glimpse of the snowy sail;
know hia life bark no more
Will sail with us over life's stormy sea;
Yet somewhere on the unseen shore
My father Is Watching and waiting for mo.
But oh, there is q thought now
That pervades my beating breast
That our freed spirit will soon fly
To be with his eternally at rest; ~
And while we wipe the tears away,
There Whispers in my ear
A voice that speaks of father and
heaven,
And bids us seek him there.

Joe Smith Has Five Wives.

Joseph Fielding Smith, head of
the Mormon church, who was ar
rested few days ago on the charge
of living unlawfully with five wives,
was witness before the Senate
Committee on Privileges and Elec-
tions in the Smoot case. He at that
time expressed his belief in the prin-
oiple of polygamy and admitted hav.
ing plurality of wives. President
Smith recently returned from trip
to Europe, and on his arrival in
Utah was informed of the birth of
his forty-third child. President
Smith is of patriarchal appearance.
He was born in 1888 and married his
first wife forty years ago. He was
elected president of the Mormon
church in 1901.

nesses testified that Capt. Wirz
never killed prisoner; the others
testified that he did--as they were
expected to do. The main witness
was a fellow who passed under the
name of Felix de Ia Baume, claiming
to be a nephew of Gen. Lafayette.
On November 4th, 1855, Wirz was
convicted on the second charge and
was hanged on the 10th following.
La Baume, as reward, was ap-
pointed place in the Department
of the Interior. Within few days
after Wirz's execution some Ger
mans in Washington recognized in
La Baume deserter from the 7th
Ohio regiment, whose name was not
La Baume, but Oeser, and Secretary
Harlan dismissed him on the 21st of
November--just eleven days after
Wirz's execution.
From. all the records, and from
evidence that can be obtained, it ap.
pears that Capt. Wirz was humane
man and brave soldier, and that his
execution was brutal murder.
There was great fatality among the
prisoners in Andersonvill stockade,
as there was in the prison stockade
at Florence, s. c., and the Federal
prisons at Camp Douglas, Johnson's
Island and other Northern prisons.
The records Of the War Department
show that the number of Federals in
Southern prisons during the civil
war was 100000, and the number of
deaths 26,436; the number of Con-
federates in Northern prisons was
100000 and the number of deaths
22,576. According to these figures
the per cent OF deaths in Northern
prisons was over IL and in Southern
prisons under Q.
The subject is very interesting
one, but there is too much of it TO be
covered by newspaper article. A
full discussion Of it can be found In

rate Veteran" a monthly magazine,

MONUMENT TO CAPT. HENRY W|RZ
GEORGIA DAUGHTERS or THE coNFEOER-
AcY HAVE UNDERTAKEN TO RAISE FUNDS

The Georgia Daughters of the Con-
federaoy have undertaken to raise
funds to erect monument to Capt.
Henry Wirz, who was hanged in
Washington by order of a military
court the 10th day of November,
1865. The Grand Army of the Re-
public have protested in convention
and have petitioned Gen. Stephen D.
Lee, commander of the United Con-
federate Veterans, against the erec-
tion of the proposed monument.
Capt. Wirz was a native of Switz-
erland, naturalized citizen of Lou
isiana; physician. He Joined the
Confederate ranks when the civil
war began and rose to the rank of
captain. In 1864 he was placed in
command of the Confederate military
prison at Andersonville, Ga, 60 miles
from Macon. In the cemetery at
Andersonville lie the bodies of $4,000
Federal soldiers, who died in prison
there, most of them during the fall
\ of 1864, while Capt. Wirz was in
charge of the prison. The highest
number of prisoners in the stookade
at any time was 33,144. AT the end
of August, 1864, there were 81 ,693-
and 3,076 had died during that
month. From June LIST to October
31st of that year there were 1O,187
deaths. The total number of prison
ers confined there from February
25th, 1864, to April 18th, 1885, was
52,345; the total deaths were 1892.
This was indeed terrible NOR
tality. And after the war Capt.
Wirz was brought before a military
court, of which the late Gen. Lew
Wallace--author of "Ben Hur"--
was the presiding officer. The
charges were (1) conspiring with
Jefferson Davis, Seddon, Cobb and a
number of others to cause the death
of Federal prisoners, and (O the
murder of prisoners by his own hand
in violation of the rules of war.
The trial lasted three months.
Although every effort was made to
connect Jefferson Davis, the Presi-
dent of the Confederaoy, with the
death of the prisoners, the first
charge failed entirely. To prove the
second charge, 145 out of 100 wit

 It made it possible for him to keep the regard of every one of them Before he had been in office a month it had trans formed Secretary Seward from his rival into his lasting friend. It made warm friend out of the blunt, positive. hot-tem- pered Edwin M. Stanton. who became sec retary of war in place of MT. Cameron. He was a man of strong will and great endurance, and gave his department a record for hard and effective work that it would be difficult to equal. Many sto- ries are told of the disrespect he showed the President and the cross purposes at which they labored The truth is that they understood each other perfectly on all important matters and worked togeth- CT through three busy trying years with ever increasing affection and regard
 The Presidents kindly humor forgave his secretary many blunt speeches.

Well'-with a whimsical glance at his informant then l suppose I must be.
