Old Soldier Has Watch That Saved
His Life in '65.

Capt G. w. Foster, of Council
Bluffs, Ia, has a valuable relic of the
civil war. 1t is an old-fashioned sill
yer watch. It was a fairly good time
piece, and was all right until it was
put out of service by a confederate
bullet c.. W. Foster was captain of
company d, Seventy-sixth u s. G. T.,
First brigade, Hawkins division,
Gen. Steele's army, aiding Gen. Can
by in the taking of Mobile, Ala. They
went to Barnacas, Fla, thence to
Pensacola, and then by quick march
through Florida swamps northwest
until they struck the Tensas river, in
Alabama, and then south until they
made connections with Canby's army
in the rear of Spanish Fort and Fort
Blakeley. Hawkins division of
Smoked Yankees was placed on
the right next to the river, and the
white division further south. By dig
ging rife pits and trenches and plac-
ing batteries Hawkins men advanced
until within half a mile of the en-
emy's works, and on April 9, 1865,
charged their works at four o'clock
D. m. Capt Foster. with his com
pany, was on the skirmish line when
the order to charge was given, and
his instructions were to advance and
draw the enemy's fire, then rally to
the right and join the charging col
umn. When within 100 yards of the
fort, says National Tribune, Capt Eos
ter was ordered to deploy his COM
pany to the right and try to get in

viving widow of soldier of the revo-
luton, died in Plymouth Union, VT,
last month. She was SO years old.
She married Noah Damon in 1885,

IF there Is one thing in which churches, as a rule, need to be more careful. it is the. matter of preachers salaries With an in difference and am insensibility which we cannot understand, many churches seem to- think that a contract between themselves and the minister is no contract at all. They promise him a definite salary, then pay him whatever is convenient. The gas man, the grocer, and even the sexton must be paid. but the debt owing the minister is looked upon as altogether righteous and proper.

THE Los Angeles Times recently came out with fierce roast on Attorney Frank J. .Heney, .the principal attack being made on his Arizona. record. The Times can lot injure the graft prosecution in San Francisco by going after it's leader, and it is only putting itself forward as an advocate of the rottenness which has prevailed in San Francisco. No one who knows Frank Heney has the slightest idea that he is in the least angelic either in disposition or habits, but he is gameness personified. He has made some of the biggest men on the Pacific coast squeal, and the Times is merely echoing that squel. Heney has sent some big men to the penitentiary and he isn't through yet.-Globe Silver Belt.
