Springfield, nl.-"This money has
been hurting my conscience for more
than six months, and l am glad of an
opportunity to refund it."
With these words, a man the other
day rendered $4.75 to John H. Lord,
city passenger agent of the Illinois

payment for a ride which he had
taken last July from Chicago to
Springfield on a borrowed pass. The
matter, he said, has been troubling his
conscience ever since, and he finally
concluded the only thing to do was to
turn over the money to the railroad
company.
After a little questioning he gave
his name as T. E. Timmus, but de-
elined to say who the holder OF the
pass was or what Occasioned his re.
pentance
Mr. Lord was somewhat at a loss as
to what to do with the money, bu'
finally accepted it and gave the mar
a receipt for the amount. He has re
mitted it, with an explanatory letter
to the general passenger agent of the
road at Chicago.

WILL HONOR CUSTER
MONROE, MICH, TO ERECT MoNU-
MENT TO ITS SOLDIER HERO.
Famous Cavalry Leader Was Born
in Ohio, But Always Regarded
Wolverine Village as His
Home,

Monroe, Mich.-Though he was per
haps the most famous soldier who
has ever called Michigan his home,
there is as yet, 81 years after his
death, no memorial within the bor-
ders of the state to Gen. George A.
Custer.
To remedy this the citizens OF Mon.
roe are now agitating the erection of
a handsome monument to this dash
ing cavalryman who, from his later
bOyhoOd, always looked upon Monroe
as his home
Though Gen. Custer was born in
Ohio and though his parents cOntin-
ued to live there with the exception
of one year, Custer himself went to
school at Monroe and spent much OF
his time there with his sister, Mrs
Reed, who had married a Monroe
man.
His appointment to the military
academy at West Point was given
him by an Ohio congressman, but it
was always to Monroe that he re
turned for his furlOughs during his
| academy course as well as on his
later leaves of absence during the
war. There he was married to Miss
| Libbie Bacon. daughter of Judge Ba-
| con, one of the most prominent Of
| the towns citizens. and there was the
! sorrow greatest when the dread news
came on that Fourth of July of cen
| TanuiaT Of I,v-
| the Sioux under Sitting Bull of the
gallant general and his whole COM
mand of the Seventh cavalry on the
Little Big Horn in Montana, eight
days previous.
Since that day the federal govern
ment has made the site of the last
battle" q national park, marked the
route Of the Seventies last march,
and erected handsome monument on
the site where Custer himself fell.
But Michigan. on whose name he
shed luster by his command of the
Michigan brigade" during 1868 and
1864, has done nothing toward pro
vtding a memorial to his deeds
1t was Custer and his Michigan
brigade" that during the civil war
restored the cavalry arms to the place
| ii had occupied in the days OF Napo-
leon, when the dashing cavalry
charges at Murat were an important
factor in almost every battle
Appointed brigadier general when

and Seventh Michigan regiments OF
| cavalry. At this time the cavalry
was rather looked down upon by the
other branches of the service, but
the tactics. of Custer and his Mich
| igan boys" soon changed all this. IN
stead of depending upon the carbine
as the cavalry had done in the civil
war up to that time, Custer placed
his trust in the saber and in the eff
I cheney of the sweeping mounted
charge to dismay his enemy. That
the cavalry came to be looked upon
as an effective force from that time
on was due as much to Custer and
his actions as to any other single in
fiuence.
For year he commanded the
Michigan brigade and then was ad,

The Washington bee., 1907-04-13

urrIaIun Ur luo caTa1ry corps His ex-
ploits there attracted the attention of
the whole north and that of the south
as well. and his geneTalship during
the closing campaign which ended in
the surrender of AppOmattOX left him
with the highest individual fame as
d cavalry commander of any man,
either northern or southern, with the
single exception of Phil Sheridan.
After the war, when the principal
duty Of the cavalry, to which he was
assigned as lieutenant colonel of the
Seventh, was Indian fighting, Gus
ters success was as great as it had
been against the southern legions,
and in not a single instance did it
fail, except in the last battle"
And even there the claim, made at
the time by Clusters friends, that his
defeat and annihilation were the di-
rect results of the failure of his sub
ordinates to obey his orders has
never been disproved, so that there is
nothing from his first action in 1861
until he was shot down in the midst
of his men on the Little Big Horn in
1876 to tarnish his fame as a brave
man, a gallant soldier and a brilliant
commander.
The citizens of Monroe have taken
up in earnest the matter of a monu
ment to be erected in the city Of his
adoption and will probably go to the
legislature with a request for assist
ance in raising the money necessary
which it is figured will be about $25,
