 Coming out of the war full of hon. orable wounds. he devoted his life to the rehabilitation of his section and did all that he could by precept and ex- ample to allay the prejudices engen- dered by war and tried to make the Union a reunited country in fact as well as in name.
 He was called to the governorship Of his native State and was elected to the United States Senate when he was honored and esteemed by all sec lions of the country.
 Ills former companions in arms gave him the highest honor in their power to bestow by making him their com- mander in chief, which office he held until he died. lamented by friend and foe alike.
 We present this picture of this heroic character to the State of Ala bama with the hope that when the youth of our country shall look upon 1t, they may be inspired to emulate his heroism and virtue. and should the occasion arise to defend their country they will defend her with equal hero- ism and fortitude as did General John R. Gordon" .f

 In rising to accept the portriat of General Gordon, on behalf of the State, Dr. Owen betrayed deep emotion. He expressed his high appreciation of the honor of appearing in the convention of the Veterans.
 Tt Is to me two-foid pleasure. that of looking into your brave and noble faces, and also in appearing as the representation of the State we all love.

 Emperor William had expected to re- ceive A4r. and Mrs. Taft at Berlin. but subsequent to the Secretary's departure from Manila for Vladivostock, the Ger man Emperor, decided to spend some time in England, and therefore he will not be in Berlin between December 6 and December 9. while Mir. Taft will be there.
 In view of this change of plans, the Emperor has now graciously invited Mir and Mrs. Taft to visit him in Eng land. ItNis believed the Secretary will accept the invitation, which necessar- fly will involve encouragement of his itinerary.

The Prison Mine Tunnels Under
kunde'S Farm.
SURVEYOR RUNS LINES
Conyicts With Torches Aid in
the Exploration.
Have Dug Out 100000 Bushels
Which Will Cost So, 800.

Leavenworth, Kan, Feb 27.-At-
torney w. w. Hooper and Harry Per-
kins, deputy county Surveyor, attired
in convict uniforms, spent all of sun
day in the state prison coal mine MAX
ing a survey in an effort to learn just
how much coal the state has taken
from under the land of Herman
Kunde. They were accompanied by
Superintendent Fulton of the prison
mine, and eight convicts, one of whom
is a surveyor named Ricksecker. They
ran lines 500 feet beneath the earth,s
surface by the aid of torches and
safety lamps, dined in the mine with
the conyicts and seemed to have had
an enjoyable time, much to the benefit
of Kunde who should, according to
their figures, recover from the state
about $4,000. t'4
Eight or nine years ago the state
prison officials abandoned the west
portion of the mine. About that time
obtained quite a sum of money for
coal the state removed from under
their land. 1t was known to Kunde
how the lines were being run in the
mine and he had suspicious that coal
was also being taken from beneath his
land, but he was not positive. He
placed his claims before the state
prison board, but without. any salts
faction, but recently Attorney Hooper
filed a claim in Topeka claiming that
the state had taken coal from beneath
all of Kunde's land Then it was ar
ranged that the attorney and a sur
veyor should be permitted to. go into
the mine to ascertain the true facts,
Sunday morning about 10 o'clock
Hooper and Perkins went, into the
mine with superintendent Fulton,
Prisoner Ricksecker and seven con-
victs to make the survey. The state
is not now working that portion of the
mine. but it was arranged that the air
be shut off from the east entries and
forced into this abandoned portion
that the survey might be made with
out danger to the parties.
The explorers learned that the state
had taken coal from beneath ten acres
of Kunde's land This is estimated at
1000 bushels to the acre and the
prison officials are authorized by law
to buy it at mills per bushel. The
claim Kunde will make is $3.50 an acre
for the ten acres, or $4,000. there be-
ing a law that allows triple damag
when any mineral is taken from be-
meath land without the consent of the
owner thereof. In all probability
Kunde will be able to get this amount
from = the state, so that the day. al
though mot a pleasant one for local.
parties. certainly paid we'll. 80 3

were called to Leanna in the south
part of this county to Investigate the
suspicious circumstances surrounding
the.sudden- death of D. L. Campbell on
Monday.
Saturday Campbell with his brother
in-law, D. W. Jordan, went to Chanute
and bought some grain alcohol at a
drug store, how much is not known
They drank occasionally during the
day returning home that evening. Ear
ly Sunday morning both took sick
Jordan was very sick during the day
At midnight last night DR.. Light, OF
Chanute, was sent for. He was I'M
able to relieve Campbell.
DR.. Light gave it as his opinion that
it was not the Quantity but the quality
of the alcohol that Killed Campbell.
This morning the friends and rela-
tives of Campbell asked that the coun-
ty attorney and the coroner be called to
Investigate his death. Campbell was
young man about thirty-four years of
age and leaves wife and four children.
He comes from a good family and was
we'll liked in the community. He was
not a hard drinker.
Grain alcohol is ordinary alcohol
and should not be confused with wood

death If taken in too large quantities,
