A Medal struck in q. Sky.

B. F. Taylor gives this striking pic

on that eventful evening after the bat

THE night after the battle of Mis-
sion Ridge an officer had gone in pur-
suit of the flying enemy? and met with
Il sharp resistance near Chickamauga
station, some two cmiles beyond the
Ridge.
"At about o'clock on that November
evening he sent a regiment to take pos

him a vast advantage. The musketry

On Baird's Front.

Baird's Division encountered the Sc
yerest resistance, as part of the troops
that We're moved TO Sherman's assist
ance came back 10 help those already
in his front. Baird, 1t will be remem-
bered, was on the extreme left Of the
line. whittier he had gone after return
ing from Sherman. The ground before
Baird was unusually difficult, and there
was also a heavy massing of guns both
in his front and 10 his right and left.
Grand Old Gen. Turchin. with his su-
Derb brigade gave direction 10 the di-
vision, and pointed straight for a high
knob on which there were several pieces
of artillery. There was a concentration
of the enemy around this knob, and
before IL was taken a savage musketry
duel ensued, which was terminated by
a bayonet charge by the 11th, 31st and
36th Ohio. The works of logs and stone
were a sufficient covering, and after the
capture were reversed for use against
the enemy. Baird claimed 10 or IL
pieces Of artillery as his share of the
booty, of which Turchin's Brigade
claimed seven and Van Derveer's five.
There was some contention over these
guns, which arose naturally, since the
men of both brigades became intermin-
gled in the rush, and 1t was exceedingly
difficult to tell whether most of one or
the other brigade made any one cap
ture. The 11th ard 31st Ohio each
captured q rsgimental flag. Baird lost

APOLITICAL PROPHET

People, tie country over, including
the majority G. the rank and file oil this
state. az shown blythe reeentelection, are
tumbling into the band wagon, the front
seat OF Which is adorned by the mag
netic personality Of William Jennings
BRYAN. In times gone by, the extreme
radicalism Of the man, who is o the
recognized leader OF Democracy, made
possible the birth Of a conservative
wing. whose ranks were recruited from
among the citizenship who believed IN
Cleveland, Buckner and Hill and the
conservatism OF which they were
leading ~exponeuts. But events OF the
vca1s intervening between 1896 and the
present, pale Cleveland and his type
and stamp them as mugwumps, while
BRYAN stock has risen to such a degree
that the present Democratic gains,
while slight, must be taken As manis-
festations Of popular approval Of what
Bryan represents.
If ever there was Il Ycritable prophet
in a political Israel, then that prophet
i W. j. BRYAN. 1t is seldom indeed
that prophetic u%tterances find their ini'
fllmeut before they are scarcely cold
from the lips OF the prophet himself,
but in the case OF Bryan, the prophet
prophcsied and the prophecy came true
in its minutest detail. Everything
BRYAN uttered in the campaign OF 1895
has been alike vindicated and verified.
Those who cursed the man who received
his presidential nomination by a single
speech and derided his IDEAS il tie year
Of his first nomination. are now falling
all over themselves fer a seat in the
band wagon.
Especially is this rue Of the remnants
of the so-called gold wing of the party.
And now a. Il cap sheal in the regener-
alton ofthe Cleveland COLL bug and cor
poration wing OF the party, comes the
well founded report that Cleyela9dhlm-
self is soon to present himself at the
shrine Of the willy Nebraskan, praying
for a~bsolution. Aside from an argu-
incentive viewpoint, it must bring a
world OF consolation 10 Bryan to see
such changes wrought in Sc. short a
space OF time.
Indeed, the Bryan movement has
penetrated u~ltra-money circles in an
alarming manner, until now it is freely
predicted that, backed by the solid
South, Bryan can hardly fail OF nomin-
alton and election in 1908. Certainly
the political horizon presents no other
figure half so formidable, not even
Roosevelt. With Folk a. a running
mate. what would be the result?

WHATS TIE MATTER WITH Ne

4 writer IN the current Muasey has a
glowing article on California. The spir-
it Of it is all right, but California has
splendors enough without having any
stolen ones added. Very much Of the
picture Which the feryid writer paints is
IRON colors that were stolen from Nev-
ada. The writer OF the article is a fine
writer, but a faulty historian,
He tells that when the great war
came on, California had supplied the
nation with $500, OO0, 900. That is true,
but more than fge-siXths OF that
amount had been sen abroad and lost
forever through the natural working OF
the system OF free trade which was then
blighting The country. California was
und is and always will be great, but
California never changed the ideas OF
men relative TO great fortunes. They
continued to measure great estates in
thousands. 1t was the Comstoek and
the desert this side that first caused
them to dream Of fortunes measured by
millions. In his speech at Ely, Senator
Newlands declared that Nevada built
the first san Francisco, and he was
more than hall right. California was
poor when the Comstock was discovered.
The cream OF her placcrs had been
skinned. The great panic OF 1877 had
left the whole nation crippled. In Cali
fornia agriculture had made little pro-
gress and fruit raising was not yet a
factor. Her merchants were in serious
arrears in the east; Frazer river had
been an immense drain with no returns
1t was Nevada that vitalized her bust
ness, gave to SAN Francisco q new impe-
tus, gave a market for all her imported
and native products caused her people
to take on new hopes, and really was to
California what the discovery Of gold in
California ten years previous was t. the

which the Munsey sets down to the
credit Of California were Nevada men

The Churchill Standard believes that
the laws OF the state of Nevada are pro-
yincial to a larger degree than those Of
other states in the Union. As a matter
of suggestion, would it not be Il good
idea for the district attorneys Of the
counties comprising the state of Nevada
to suggest needed reyisions and new
laws to the newly elected attorney-gen-
eral, so that he can lay the matter be-
fore the next legislature. There are in
Vulnerable things that need adjustment,
and until this has been done, the state
can not lay claim to having modernlaw
that deal with the present times.

OF curse it is all right for mining
stocks to raise in price, but three stories
OF high-handed robberies Of Mohawk

few weeks, and just at the time when
the operators are forcing the market

much as none of the robbers have ever
been caught, the stories are not COM

and convict the hooters, the public will
then believe the stories. Until then
