casualties and by numerous promo

it's rolls contained about $50 men, with
eight guns; after that battle the com-
pany was given permission by Stone
wall Jackson to form battalion, and
after forming two companies and elect
ing their officers, for some reason the
permission was oountermanded FROM
headquarters at Richmond, and the
company was ordered to cut down its
number to $50 men, and permissio n
was given the remainder to enter any
branch OF the service they saw fit.
Many Of the dismissed men watched
their opportunity and came back to
the company when vacancies occurr-
ed.
This company became famous for
the accuracy of its gunuers. This was
particularly true at First Fredricks-
burg, where the men on each side stop
ped their work to watch the shooting
of Gunners Whit and McCauley, and
officers in the Northern army testify
as to the wonderful execution and
accurate shooting of this battery.
DuringIthe war this battery had a
total OF wenty-four guns, eighteen OF
which we're captured from their foes
Their total enlistment during the war
was three hundred aad DE nm Of

RUNNING SORES ON LIMBS.
Little Girls Obstinate Case of Eczema
Mother Says: "Cuticura Rem
edies Household Standby"

Last year, after having my little
girl treated by very prominent physi-
clan for an obstinate case of eczema,
resorted to the Cutcura Remedies. and
was so we'll pleased with the almost
instantaneous relief afforded that we
discarded the physicians prescription
and relied entirely on the Cuticura
Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura
Pills. When we commenced with the
Cuticura Remedies her feet and limbs
were covered with running sores. In
about six weeks we had her complete
ly well, and there has been no recur-
renee of the trouble We find that the
Cuticura Remedies are a valuable
household standby, living as we do
twelve miles from a doctor. and where
it costs from twenty to twenty-five
dollars to come up on the mountain.

Easy to Understand.

An ardent teetotaJed, in converse
ton with the late Sir Wilfrid Law
son, once found fault with the prac-
tice of christening" vessels with
champaign before being launched.
Sir Wilfrid did not altogether agree
with him, and said good temperance
lesson could be learned from the prac-
tice. How can that be?" asked his
companion. Well" replied the witty
baronet, "after the first taste of wine
the ship takes to water, and sticks
to it ever after!"-Independent.

can people have to thank the Ameri-
can Civic association for the fact. It
was not until the beginning of the
concrete campaign instituted at the
Cleveland meeting of that organiza-
ton in October, 1905, that the move
ment assumed national and practical
shape. The success of the effort to
arouse President Roosevelt and,
through the people OF the country, con,

Burton bill, signed June 20, 1906, un-
der the terms of which the secretary
of war is charged with the restric-

the acknowledged purpose of preserv-
ing the scenic features of the great
cataract.
This gratifying result, which has

Some common word was all he
knew;
And yet its song was just the same
Sweet cadence of the falling dew
How oft I've seen him linger, when,
His face turned toward the waiting

He paused to hear in twilight then
The vesper calling to its mate
A little trill in minor key,
A heart-break bursting into song;
The longing for the love to be,
The plaintive cry of hidden wrong

His open heart thrilled through and

Some secret word his spirit heard
Some message that no other know

Boards AND MUSTACHES BAD
FOR THOSE WHO ALL.
DECLARES STATE BOARD
Hints of a General Nature as to Pre-
Vention, Treatment and Care
Don't Worry, Eat Well, Keep Out
Doors-Court Fresh Air-Sunshine
Kills Germs.

Circulars dealing with tuberculo-
sis, it's cures and it's prevention, and
quite as applicable in Wisconsin as
in Minnesota, have been issued by
the Minnesota state board Of health
and are being sent broadcast through
out the state. Six separate circulars
have been prepared; one for the
patient; one for the physician; one
for the public; one for people par
ticularly interested in the public
schools, and two circulars dealing
with the sick room and disinfection.
In connection with the circulars,
blanks providing for reports on tuber-
cular cases are being sent out, and
will keep the state board fully in
formed of the stage and virulency of
the disease in each reported case.
Among the instructions offered to
tuberculosis patients are the follow
ing:
Men with consumption should not
wear boards or mustaches.
A consumptive should sleep alone
and, if possible, in separate room
The room should always have an
abundance of fresh air. The windows
in the room should be open day and
night. The patients soiled washable
clothing and bed linen should be
handled as little as possible when
dry, and should be placed in water
until ready for washing. 1t should
then be boiled for at least half an
hour before being mixed with cloth
ing belonging to other persons.
Don't live in rooms where there is
no fresh air.
Don't work in rooms where there
is no fresh air.
Don't sleep in rooms where there
is no fresh air.
Stay out of doors all you can.
Don't be afraid of cold air.
Remember that sunshine kills the
germs of consumption.
Go to bed early. Sleep at least
eight hours.
If you have to work, rest all you
can while at home.
Don't worry. Worrying is not rest
ing.
Eat all the good, plain, nourishing
food that you can.
Raw eggs and milk are important
articles of diet.
Drink plenty of pure water.
Don't drink beer whisky or other
alcohols.
Your most important duty is to get
well. Let all other duties be Sec
ondary to this.
The circular addressed to the pub
lie says:
Remember that more people die
from this disease in Minnesota than
from any other.
Of 1910 deaths in Minnesota in
1905, 1886 we're due to consumption.
Valuing a human life at $4,000, this
meant an actual loss to the state OF
about $10,000,000 in one year as re-
suit of this disease.
The care of those i'll with this dis
ease during the same year, but not
dying, would amount to at least S.
100000.
The circular sent to those inter
ested in schools says
See to it that those suffering from
this disease are not employed as
teachers.
See to it that children suffering
from this disease are excluded from
school.

NATURAL CAUSES
MAY HAVE PRODUCED DEATH OF
MRS. BUD ELROD.
Condition of Her Heart and Liver
Indicate the Nature Of Her
Ailment.

II is believed that the analysis
of the stomach of Mrs. G. w. (Bud)
Elrod, who died suddenly two weeks
ago. will not develop any thing of a
sensational nature. 1t is also inti-
mated that sufficient cause for death
has been found after an examination
of the heart and liver. which were
taken from the body when exhumed
the day after burial. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Elrod was subject to heart
trouble, and 1t is said the heart
showed signs of congestion after
death, sufficient indication that
death came about from natural caus-
|es.
Today County Attorney Alben
Barley stated that the reason no
action was taken on the report OF
physicians making the examination,
was that some of the coroner's jury
are away. As soon as the jury can be
gotten together again the inquest
will be held.
