hardly be expected to comprehend any,
thing greater than the comparatively
modest establishments with which the
United States had waged the wars OF
1912 and Mexico. Gen. Mcclellan gives
the following sketches of the men
whom he had selected as Brigade Com
manders. 1t must be remembered all
the time that this was penned after the
war, when many of these men had
made their records and when Mcclellan
was suffering the natural results of his
failure to meet the high expectations at
one time entertained of him.
"Of all men whom 1 have encoun-
tered in high position Haleck was, the
most hopelessly stupid. 1t was more dif-
ficult to get an idea thru his head than
can be conceived by any one who never
ever had correct military idea from
beginning to end.
Il left Gen. Hunter in nominal COM
mand of his brigade because he bore
an excellent reputation in the Old Army
and had been wounded: / have never
met him personally. He did not as

soon as he recovered from his wound
the President appointed him Major
General of Volunteers. that he might
go to Illinois, and. in the words of Mr..
Lincoln. be a sort of father to them
out there
..Heintzelman also received a bri-
Bull Run. and bore q good reputation
in the Old Army. He was a very brave
man and an excellent officer.

f. v. Sumner.
Sumner was in California when
assumed command; he returned not
long before we took the field. and at
once received a division. He was an
old and tried officer; perfectly honest,
as brave as a man could be; conscien-
tious and laborious. In many respects
he was model soldier. He was a man
for whom l had a very high regard. and
for his memory 1 have the greatest re-
Spect. He was a very. valuable man,
and his soldier1y example was of the
highest value in a new army \ Ma
ton is fortunate that possesses many
such soldiers as was Edwin " Sumner.
Franklin was one. of the best officers
had; very powerful. He was a man
not only of excellent judgment, but Of
a remarkably high order of inteilec-
tual ability. He was often badly treated,
and seldom received the credit he de-
served. His moral character was of the
highest and he was in all respects an
corps commander; more than
that. he would have commanded an
army well. The only reason why I did
rot send him to relieve Sherman, in
stead of Buell.. was that l could not
spare such a man from the Army of the

the hope of any home rule legislation by
the present parliament, created q seri-
Gus split In the Governments forces and
may have far-reaching results.
The temper OF the convention was
plain from the beginning No one had
word to offer In behalf OF the bill.
Home rule or nothing was the unanimous
sentiment, and the resolution reiecting
the measure, proposed by John e. Red
mond, commanded every vote.

CITY WARRANTS
AS GOOD AS GOLD.
Local Bank Denies 1t Made a
Two Per Cent Discount
on a $50 Warrant.
COUNTY WARRANTS ARE
MARKED "N0 FUNDS
City Warrants Are Taken at Par
by All the Banks of

And still the howl is kept up by the
opposition papers about city warrants,
which are as good as gold anywhere
The bank in this city, which is said
to have charged two per cent discount
on a $50 warrant, now denies that any
snch transaction took place, and says
that city warrants are accepted as are
all checks by any bank in the city,
These, of course are demand warrants.
The time warrants are as good as any
SIX per cent securities IN the world,
and there is absolutely no reason why
they should sell below pRr at any time,
unless n contractor has big bunch OF
them and is very hard pressed
There is a great deal of difference
between the city warrants and the coun-
~ warrants. The county is supposed 10
be on cash basis, yet number OF
warrants have been in circulation dur
ing the past few days, which were pre-
sented to County Treasurer Groes
beck for payment. and were returned
marked "'No Funds One of these
for payment May Is, and is still un.
paid, for the reason that there are
no funds in the hands of the county
treasurer.
County Auditor Higginbotham ex-
planned this, Tuesday, by saying That
there were no funds on hand, We

rants and will until we get the money

S. Birch sold a large amount of
special improvement warrants to the
State Board of Land Commissioners,
and if he disposed of them at n dis
count il was a matter Of bargaining be

WORK ON STREETS

Under Contracts.
MAYOR AND CONTRACTORS
TALK ON SAME SUBJECT
Railway, Telephone and Tele,
graph Poles Must Be Re-
moved at Once.

While the Board of Public Works
was in session down stairs in the City
and County building Tuesday morning.
endeavoring to take steps to hasten
work on contracts for street improve
| ments, there was a conference in the
mayors office upstairs on the same
subject by Mayor Thompson, j, P.
Moran, and property-owners on South
Main street, south of Fourth South
street. The latter asked that the work
be done as soon as possible, saying that
they were anxious TO have it completed
and done with. Moran. who has the
contract for the work, said that he al
so was anxious TO go ahead with it,
and would do so as soon as the street
was ready for him to begin, The de-
lay was through the poles of the Utah
Light & Railway company and the tele-
graph and telephone poles being still
on the street, although the Council had
ordered their removal, Again, the lay
ing OF water mains has not been fin
ished AS soon as these matters are
attended TO, he will commence work.
1t is not thought more than a few
weeks will elapse before the work is
we'll under way, The mayor told those
present that he would spare no effort
to have the work done. For himself,
there is no one more anxious to have
the improvements made. He assured
them that steps would be taken at once
TO have the work begun ns soon as the
street could be made ready for the con-
tractor
The Board of Works discussed the
same matter as in the conference. and
ended by ordering the companies to
get their poles off the streets without
further delay. James Kennedy also re-
ceived orders 10 commence the laying
Of water mains on Main street and to
finish the work up as quickly as. pos
sible.

and it is delight and comfort TO have
something that we do not have to re.

'' was surprised that she would per
nit the children to drink even the food

most healthful beverage and that the
children thrived on it. a very little
thought convinced me that for brain
work, one should have food and the
very best Of food
my first trial Of Postum was a
failure. The maid OF all work brought
it to the table lukewarm, weak, and al
together lacking in character. We were
in despair, but decided on one more
trial. At the second trial we faithfully
followed the directions, used four tea
spoonfuls to the pint Of water, let it
boil full fifteen minutes after the real
boiling began, and served it with rich
cream. 1t was delicious and we were
all won.
