OUR GREAT. WEALTHY NATION.

The total estimated value of the ma
tional wealth in 1904 was Sl07, l04, 1872,
900, according to special report issued
by the census bureau. which represents
an increase in the four-year's period
from 1900 to 1904 of SIS, $50, S86, GOO.
This advance in national wealth has no
parallel in the history of the United
States except the decade from 1850 to
1860 In 1850, when the first estimates
of the national wealth were made, the
figures were only 81, 735, $50, 600. The
most potent cause for the increase in
the nations wealth from 1900 to 1904,
it is stated, was the reaction from the
low prices period of depression from
1893 to 1896. The annual increase in
wealth per family from 1890 to 1903
was S182.
The various forms into which the
nation wealth is divided:
Real property and improvements tax
ed S55, $40, 600; real property and inn
provements exempt, SIS, S31, 246, 600.

ments and machinery, 1914, 800. GOO;

years later, by imperial edict, the
schools were made practically free, the
government assuming all but small

medical inspection was introduced into

adequate number Of physicians to look
after their hygenic conditions. In this

Brave COrp'l DiIxs,

Gen j. Madison Drake, of Eliza
beth, y. j., writes long and appre.
ciative article in the Elizabeth Daily
Journal upon the gallantry of Cofpl
Samuel j. Dilks, of co. X, 9th y. j.
Having been born on the seashore and
brought up with sea-faring men,
Corp1 Dilks saw his opportunity on
the Roanoke expedition The Poca-
hontas, an old. rickety vessel, was
heavily laden with horses and militia
supplies for the Burnside expedition,
and was caught in the terrible storm
that all the survivors of that expedi-
ton remember only too we'll. she
was sabied, her fires cxtinguished by
water. and at last thrown upon The
beach, where she was beaten BY lie
gigantic waves. When all fDpe
seemed gone Corp1 Dilks volunteered
TO take line ashore. and after fierce
struggle with the waves succeeded in
doing SO and fastening it to an old
spar upon the beach. BY this means
all of the men on board We're safely
taken ashore, and there only remained
the cook, who could not be persuaded
to trust herself to the line. D!lks
finally went back to the ship, repeat
ing his battle with the waves. and
found the cook crazy with fear. She
would not do anything or heed what
was said to her. but Corp1 Dilks,
watching his opportunity, tied her
with piece of light rope and went
overheard with her. She was large
and heavy. while Corp'l Dilks was
light and wirey. He had, of course,
q worse time than ever, but finally
brought his charge TO safety to the
great delight of all.

H., Elu.springs. Neb., has taken and

Tribune FOR - years ana recommends
it as not only the best friend oil the
soldier. but of all the poo. and oD-
pressed 1t was thru the help of The
National Tribune that he got his pen
sion started, finding i'll its columns the
names of several comrades who proved
his disability. He was with the Army
of III" Cumberland from the Fall Of
1867 ill 'C5, and in all las hard-fought
1attles. He remembers Franklin as
tho it occurred yesterday. His rcgi-
ment, the SSth ILL.,. on the retreat
from Spring Hill to Franklin was on
the slsirnish line. and they had some
lively times holding Hoods army il.
check. They would hide themselves
and watch the rebels come on, give
them volley. and then skedaddle for
their next hiding place. That part Of
the fight they really enjoyed. little
thinking that hundreds of them would
be lying dead and wounded on that
field of slaughter later. His regiment
was relieved on the sitirmish line about
half-past one O'Clock, and they
marched into town on the Franklin
and Nashville pike, past the cotton gin
north of the Carter house near the
river. They were ordered to stack
arms and get their dinner. Before they
had finished eating they heard the
rebel yell. jumped to their guns, and
stood in readiness as reserves On the
Johnnies came. never wavering in spite
of our musketry and the grape and
canister from our cannon, until they
actually caught up with our skirmish
line and ran over it. They made {;
desperate charge at the cotton gin, ana
got inside of the works, and when
they broke our line of breastworks att
the cotton gin our troops gave wa.
and stampeded. Just then Comrade
Olson's regiment was ordered by their
Colonel to retalSe the works. and Col.
Smith and Gen. Opedyeke were with
them, cheering and encouraging them.
In that terrible fighting the Union and
rebel dead and wounded lay mixed
together. and the groans of the dying
We're awful to listen to. About 10
o'clock at night they rctreated to-
Nashville. taking several hundred pris-
oners with them. Comrade Olson
would like to hear by letter or thru
the columns of The National Tribune
from any comrade of his company or
regiment. He is particularly anxious
to secure the address of his bunkmate
John KruZe. and also of his messnlate
side by side as they charged by the
Carter house, and were side by side in
the battle afterwards, and he has never
seen nor heard from him since. He
fears he must have been killed. as he
was brave soldier He hopes to bear
from his comrades.
