government, offered his services as
messenger. He got through to Annapo-
lis, and delivered to General Butler,
who was there with the Eighth Massa-
chusetts, President Lincoln's orders to
come through by any route as quickly
as possible. Soon after this Colonel
Clark returned to his home in Auburn,
n. Y, and was unanimously elected
colonel of the first regiment raised
there. 1t is but the truth to say right
here that in our regiment every man,
from Colonel Clark down to the pri-
vate in the ranks, felt perfectly able
to take care of himself.
A few miles outside Baltimore the
train was stopped and three rounds of
ammunition given each man. We were
ordered to load, which we did, and then
resumed our places in the cars At
stopped and we debarked, forming col
umns by platoons. While this was be-
ing done a crowd gathered, and some
rather disagreeable remarks We're
made mixed viii cheers for Jeff Davis.
We had been drilled according to
SCOTS Manual the butt of the gun
resting in the left hand when at shout
der. We were standing in this posi-
ton when the command was given to
Order arms," With q noise like the
falling of some heavy solid body the
butts of 730 muskets struck the ground
as one gun, and with loud clash 1870
bayonets sprang to their places, while
firmness and resolution were expressed
on every countenance. This seemed to
affect the Baltimorean nerve, and 81
lence reigned for a time. With colors
flung to the breeze we took up the line
of march to the Washington Depot.
Soon the roughS in the crowd grew
bold and renewed their insolence, but
the GOODNESS and determination of the
men with their capped muskets was
sufficient to prevent serious trouble. AT
the sight of the National Flag floating
over the Eutaw House the regiment
halted and gave three rouSing cheers,
and after this the crowd was perfectly
quiet The police of the city said after
ward that undoubtedly the appearance
and steadiness of the men saved them
from an attack by the rough element,
who were all ready to pitch into any
thing from Yankecland. We reached
the depot before noon, and were soon
aboard the cars and off to Washington,
no harm having been done to any one.

Hog Cholera Dtseoxarx


Hog cholera has long been causa Of
heavy loss to the farmers, and for wears
scientists in the Department of Agricul.
ture have been working on the prob.
lem OF the cause and prevention of this
disease. Recent work of the bureau of
animal Industry has demonstrated that
the contagion consists of a virus which
exists in the blood and other fluids of
diseased animals, but which can pass
through the finest filter; is invisible
under the microscope, and therefore
cannot be isolated or discerned by any
Of the usual methods.
This important discovery. which has
since been confirmed by eminent scien.
tific authorities in England and on the
continent Of Europe, affords an expla-
nation Of the failure of past efforts to
produce a satisfactory vaccine.
The bureau has conducted expert
ments with view to producing a vac.
cine Of serum which will prevent OF
cure the disease. Successful results
have been obtained in an experimental
way, and efforts are now being made
to adapt the method to practical and
general use
The method has been patented by
the department in the name of the sci
enlist who evolved it, DIR. Marion Dor
set, the patent having been taken out
in such manner as to insure to all
the people in the United States the
right to it's use free Of royalty.

Nineteenth New York (of which l was

burn, the home Of W. S. Seward, Lin

Washington by way of Baltimore. We
reached the city on the It'll, early in
the afternoon. From a passing train
which we met on the way we had made
up our minds that the regiments bap-
tismal fire was probably at hand, and
the idea was received by the boys with
a spirit of great eagerness for the fray
In efficiency and drill we were above
companies were made up mostly from
the State Militia, whose officers, COM
missioned and non commissioned, were
drilled soldiers; three more companies
were commanded by ex-eaptains of in
dependent companies, and all had been
drilling hard for weeks.
Our colonel, John S. Clark, had ar
ready done service for the government
which entitled him TO the ranks of the
heroic. When the Southern sympathiZ-
ers of Maryland cut the telegraph
wires, stopped the trains, burned or

the government sent out eleven private

HYMNS YOU OUGHT TO KNOW
ROCK OF AGES.
By Augustus M. Toplady.

augustus Montague Toplady -Farnham,
Surrey, England, Nov. 4, 1740; London,
Aug. 4, 171S-known to our day only as
the author of 1.-The most popular hymn IN
the English tongue was celebrated In MS
own time as a religious controversial Grad
uated from Trinity, Dublin, after fourteen
years In the English Episcopal ministry, ne
left that church to become pastor or the
French Calvinists in London. Strange to
say, this universal hymn was written to
oppose the doctrines taught by Wesley,
and 1t originally formed the curious clos
ing argument of an elaborate theological
article, entitled THE National Debt" pub
lished in the Gospel Magazine. Yet 1t is
by far the most popular Of all Christian
hymns, holding first place in nearly every
list that has been compiled and on every
popular vote. 1t has been translated into
the tongues of the peoples wherever chris
German and Swedish. French, and Italian,
ETC., but also in Telugu, Karen, Burmese,
Bengali, Ganda, and, indeed, 1t is found IN
almost as many tongues as the bible itself
the globe. Mr.. Gladstone translated 1T into
Latin, Greek, and Italian. 1t Is said that
the brave Gen. Stuart, wounded before
Richmond, died with this hymn on his lips
and the same is related Of the prince con-
sort of England. When the London went
down In the Bay of Biscay in 1855 the last
thing heard by the survivors was the pas
sengers singing Rock of Ages" Many
changes have crept into this hymn, but the
following Is probably exactly as Toplady
wrote 1t in 1879:
Rock of Ages, cleft for me!
Let me hide myself in thee;
Let the water and the blood,
From thy wounded Side that flowed.
Be of sin the double cure;
Cleanse me from it's guilt and power.
Not the labor of my hands
Can fulfill the laws demands:
Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears forever flow,
All for sin could not atone:
Thou must save, and thou alone.
Nothing in my hand l bring,
Simply to thy cross | cling;
Naked, come to thee for dress,
Helpless, look to thee for grace;
Vile. | to the fountain fly,
Wash me, Saviour, or l die!
While 1 draw this feeting breath,
When my eyelids close in death,
When I soar to worlds unknown,
See thee on thy judgment throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me!
Let me hide myself IN thee.

Is After Land Near Loveland
Rail Commissioners D. j.
Palmer, N. s. Ketchum and
Willard L. Eaton were in Coun-
Gil Bluffs, Sunday, departing
Yesterday to view land that the
Illinois Central Railroad COM
pany desires to acquire at Love-
land in addition to its present
right Of way. 1t is believed
that a settlement has been
reached whereby condemnation
proceedings will be unneces-
sary, but the commissioners
went to the scene notwithstand-
ing the prospects of settlement.
The Illinois Central has ac-
quired all of the right of way
that is authorized except in
emergency cases, but desired
to get possession of a strip
about 200 feet wide and 600
feet long near the trestle over
the Northwestern tracks and
the Boyer creek. If this can
be acquired the company pro-
poses to fill in with earth in
stead Of piling and straighten
the creek. Having secured all
it was entitled to in ordinary
cases it is necessary for the
railway commissioners to pass
pom the situation as to
whether or not it's of sufficient
Importance to warrant condem-
nation proceedings, this being
the only method Of acquiring

Col. F. L. Davis

1t always affords us great
pleasure to trace the character
and success of any of our citi-
zens, and especially so if that
character is identified with the
growth and prosperity of our
young city. The subject of our
remarks is a we'll known citizen
of Missouri Valley and his
name is Col. F. L. Davis. He
was born in Western New York,
enlisted in 1861 in Co. E, 5th
N. Y. cavalry, was discharged
in 1862 on account of disability.
Soon after he was appointed
deputy sheriff of Cattaraugus
county, N. Y.
In 1870 he came to Iowa and
located at Little Sioux, in Har-
rison county, and in the spring
of 1872 moved to Missouri VAL
ley and engaged in the livery
business; was also deputy sher-
iff for several years. Soon
after coming to Missouri Valley
he held the office of deputy
sheriff, constable of st. John
township and marshal of the
city of Missouri Valley. He is,
and has long been an active
member of the G. A. r. associa-
tion and at this time is on the
staff Of the commander of the
department. Of Iowa of the G..
A. r. His active business
qualifications and general
activeness in whatever he un-
dertooll soon called him to the
position of one of the largest
insurance agencies in Iowa, re-
presenting as he does some ter
or fifteen of the largest insur
ance companies in the west
He has a very fine real estat,
property in this city, among
which is his office on Fri
street, one of the neatest of it

kind in the state, supplied with
desks, tables, shelves, etc. The
rooms are artistically papered
in beautifully shaded paper and
the walls decorated with fine
pictures, many of which repre-
sent his particular calling and
business and we noticed in the
room a case of mineral selec-
tions, curios and specimens,
gathered from the four quarters
of the globe. The radiators in
his office are painted in. green,
suitable to the coloring of.the
rooms and adds much to the
beauty of the same. The front
room is occupied by Mr.. Davis,
while the south room is the ex.
elusive room of Mrs. Davis, who
is a very important part Of the
insurance agency, having long
experience in the business,
added to a finished business
education and practical knowl-
edge of every branch of work
belonging to an insurance and
collection agency and the sale
and rental of real estate. One,
on visiting the office, will see at
a glance that Mr.. Davis is no
novice in his profession but
keeps up with the most ad-
vanced ideas of Insurance, and
his position is such that he can
offer the best of terms with the
best companies of the country
and his agency is one of the
most reliable and trustworthy
to be found anywhere. He be-
lieves in the motto of "The way
to success is to succeed and
therefore makes it a point te
push everything he undertakes
to success and by this methoc
has built up a very large and
J, lucrative business in his choser
profession. ~

The digging of the Panama
canal is proving a larger task
than at first anticipated by the
administration. Now Chief
Engineer Stevens has resigned

The following is taken from
the Sioux City Tribune of this
morning and will be of interest
to railroad menin general:
That air couplings between
railway cars by means Of hose
connections may be a thing of
the past in the near future is
the hope of two Sioux City in
ventors, w. H. Sutherland and
Professor Robert N. Van
Horne, of Morningside college,
who have received notification
from the United States patent
office at Washington that their
applications for a patent on an
automatic air coupling device,
consisting of a pair of non-in-
terlocking shoes, held together
by a series of springs, has been
granted. The new coupling
does away with the necessity Of
a brakeman crawling under the
car and fastening a couple of
lengths of hose together. The
work is done automatically by
a method similar to the one
used for coupling cars and the
air connection can now be
made either Independently or
simultaneously with the car
coupling.
Professor Wilev. of the de-
partment of agriculture says
that inasmuch as every 100
pounds of cornstalks will yield
six and half pounds of abso-
lutte alcohol, it is obvious that
the ignorant agriculturist has
been allowing an enormous
amount of wealth to go to
waste.
Say that one acre will yield
from ten to twelve tons of grain
stalks, or about 10000 pounds,
and you have a quantity of raw
material which will produce
1,S00 pounds Of absolute alco-
hol, or PIG gallons. Alcohol
at the present time is worth AZ
cents gallon.

Mr.. Hartman, in taking the
reporters into his confidence,
told Them that the interstate

ing that was not known before.
Which is made true only by
the promptness with which Mr..
Hartman, by advice of counsel,
without it, promptly refused to.
answer questions aimed to
elicit that which was not known
before and which Mr.. Harri-
man evidently wished to be
kept from the public.
