Southern Reception of the
Northern Soldiers Takes
Various Moods.
" MISTAKE" At JACKSON
Captain Sanderson, I. N. G., Tells
of the Experience of His
Regiment in Dixie.

Captain W. ]. Sanderson. adjutant of
the First regiment, Illinois National
Guard. returned to his desk in Ham
mond today after ten days visit in
the south with his regiment, which
served as escort to Governor Deneen
at the dedication of the Illinois men,
orial. erected in the National cemetery.
Vicksburg, Miss.
Barring a few embarrassing contre-
temps" said Captain Sanderson, our
experience in the south was most
pleasant, and We brought back enough
pleasant recollections to counteract the
unpleasant ones. Our reception ran the
gamut from chilliness to the most
effusive cordiality. We enjoyed the
real, highly advertised southern hos
pitality in New Orleans and Memphis
Our relations with our hosts in Mis-
sissippi seemed to be rather strained.
The Vardaman incident at Jackson.
understand, has been pretty well
threshed over. On our parade to the
capital building we were peered at fur
lively from behind closed blinds by the
white population. The negroes had sole
possession of the curbs and sidewalks
We waited at attention in front of the
capital for an hour, but Governor Var
daman did not appear. We were sup
posed, you know, to escort him to the
station to take the train for Vicksburg
We were informed eventually that his
excellency' had gone out of a side door.
and, declining our escort, made his way
to the train alone-or at least without
the Illinois delegation. OF course, there
were apologies and explanations.
We marched back to the station,
our band of forty pieces playing
Dixie" and other orthodox southern
airs, but not a hand from the popu-
| lace.
I'm his explanation the governor said
his acknowledgement had 'blundered.'
At any rate, he did not run the risk of
forfeiting his self-respect or losing
caste with his constituents by accept
| ing the escort of a northern regiment
of soldiers.
Our reception at Vicksburg took the
chill off our experience at Jackson
Every courtesy was shown US at Vicks-
burg, especially in the closing hours OF
| our visit.
Louisiana took us to its heart
Quaint old Baton Rouge turned out er
maSSe, and In New orleans, Where we
met many old friends from the north
they could not do enough for us. The
officers were put up at the Pickwich
and Boston clubs, and the entire com
mand was taken care of by the Wash
ington artillery at its armory in st
Charles street.
Memphis was thrown open to us i'm.
mediately on our arrival. There were
speeches of welcome by the governor
the mayor and other distinguished citi
zens. The officers were dined by th'
famous Chickasaw Guards at thei
sumptuous clubhouse.
we did our share all through th'
trip to convince our southern cousins
that there were no hard feelings. I
some of them were inclined to regar'
our visit as another hostile invasion
of course we couldn't help it"

Two Candidates for Glue Factory
Snapped - Dissatisfaction Fol-
lowed By Legal Proceedings.
Bartholomew in MinneapoI

According to the verdict of the jury
in the Lake superior court, James
Maxwell of Indiana Harbor is shrewd-
er horse trader than is Mayor Rubin
of this city.
Last night at II o'clock after being
out for many hours, the jury returned
with a verdict granting Maxwell the
possession of a horse that the latter
had traded Rubin for another hors e
and which Rubin tried to reclaim first
by means of a replevin suit before
Justice IRELAND of East Chicago and
yesterday on an appeal to the Lake
superior court.
1t seems that some time ago it oc-
Cured to Mayer Rubin with Hebrew
instinct that he should go to Indiana
Harbor and there encounter James
Maxwell, whose ancestors lived in the
New England states, that he could put
it over him, using the commercial
term. They met in broad daylight and
the trade was perfected, Maxwell
guaranteeing his steed to have good
eyes and good wind. OF his feet he
said nothing. Mayer Rubin on the
other hand claimed that his animal
was worth S45. The deal was perfected
and each went on his way rejoicing
Maxwell probably a little more than
his friend Rubin.
1t was only a short time before the
Hammond man realized that his ac-
QUESTION would bring its highest price
/ in the bone yard. Before, however
disposing of him in that manner he de-
cided to awaken the conscience OF
Maxwell in order to learn whether
that worthy cared to trade back
Naturally the latter was opposed ever
to the sugges ton and his former Ham
mond friend brought replevin proceed
ings. They too were of no avail anC
he consequently made an appeal witt
| the same result.
It must be admitted and Maxwell
admits it too, that the horse which h
gave TO Rubin was worth SIS. Thi
still leaves the Hammond man $50 il
the hole. Today he has taken an extri
hour off in order to find the sum So
plus his time lost in the courts, tn
fees that he must pay in the East Chi

Hopscotching for trains is a new

An interesting bout was played yester-
day morning.
party of young persons planned on
taking the S:5S Lake Shore train for
Chicago. When they reached the sta
ton they were informed that the train
was one hour late, and then some, per-
haps.
They concluded to take the Erie S.45
and made a rush for that station, which
is nearby. There they were informed
by the agent that at last reports the
Erie had a tardy mark OF thirty-fi
minutes. There was a hurried consul
tation, and then back to the Lake
Shore.
The Lake Shore did not seem to be
making UP any of the lost hour. and
some one suggested the Monon. which
was acted upon Immediately. When the
young people arrived at the Monon
depot they learned that, according to
the ticker, the 9:36 looked more like
the 10:45.
Then they concluded to take another
chance on the Lake Shore, come what
might. And there they sat. and saw
the Monon and the Erie trains pull outl

ERIE LOOKING FOR POSSIBILITIES.

The Erie railroad officials are alive
to the possibilities for traffic that will
grow out of the Standard Steel Car
company, which will locate in Ham
mand, and today a number of them
came from Chicago in their private
car to estimate their prospects. Their
intention now is to lay a spur from
the main track into the Standard Steel
Car grounds. and thus come in for a
share Of the traffic. The officials who
were out here today were, j. P. Sher-
win, general agent; A. c. Crabill. di
vision engineer; G. T. Minish. terminal
trainmaster, and E. z. Loomis, general
agent at Chicago. The officials also
made an inspection tour around the
coal storage establishment.
