FORTY-SECoND ANNIVERSARY
OF the Surrender of General Robert E. Lees Army
to General Grant at Appomattox Court
House, Va, April g. 1865

become the jugular vein of the gasping
Confederacy but on his arrival at that
point, when he expected supply trains
with food for his hungry men and
animals, he found his trains in the
possession of Sheridan who held the
junction in a clutch of steel. Thrice
forward the retreat was almost rout.
The limit of endurance had been
reached by the ragged heroes of the
Confederacy. The gaunt animals
could no longer haul the guns which
were abandoned along the line of
march; men were captured in large
numbers; Gen. Elwell who had fought
his corps to a sfrazzle" surrendered en-
tire and the writer saw packed among
the captured Confederates fine bat
terry of Armstrong cannon presented
to the Confederacy by our loving
cousins the English.
Perhaps nothing could better attest
the quality of Lees men than on their
arrival in the vicinity of Appomattox
they promptly formed for their last
charge upon Sheridan's troopers who
were planted squarely across their
path, but the cavalry being withdrawn
and disclosing solid lines of infantry,
the confederates recoiled in blank
despair.
The end had come. The dream of a
Slave Empire on this continent was
folded away with the Confederate
Standards. JOHN DOWNING,

NoTE:-At a recent meeting of a
Camp of the Union Veteran Legion it
was enjoined upon the comrades as a
patriotic duty to note in some public
manner the passing of the great ami
versaries of the Civil war, notably the
eliminating event-the surrender of
General Lee, at Appomattox Court
House. Lest we forget the heroes who
testified the full measure of devotion
by giving up their lives that "Govern-
ment of the People, by the People, for
the People, might not perish from the
earth.n
1t was the fortune of the writer to
stand in the early morning in front OF
the City Hall, of Petersburg, which
had been evacuated by the Confeder-
ates during the preceding night, and
to see the street strewn with Confeder-
ate money, much of it in bills of large
denomination, and to see a soldier
wildly waving $1,000 bill and ex-
claiming, "a Thousand dollars for q
chew of terbackerW We were always
short on "terbacker" but for once in
our lives were long on thousand dollar
bills. The incident furnished striking
evidence that the Confederacy was at
its last gasp.

Baker, of Baker Brothers, the foun-
ders of Wildwood, Thomas Martindale,
James H. Glenn, DR.. Samuel Wolfe,
Frederick Sutton and Fithian Tatem.

dation has been laid and the frame

THE OKLAHOMA INQUIRY
Charges of Excessive Rates Against the Katy" and Frisco
 Being Heard.
SHIPPERS CF GRAIN PAID TOO MUCH
Are Entitled to Recover Excessive Charges Paid During Past Two Years-Rates to Chicago Cheaper Than These to Gainesville, Texas.

Oklahoma City, Feb. 2.--Charges of excessive rates against the Missouri, Kansas 6 Texas and the Frisco were taken up at Friday mornings session by Commissioner Prouty. Before be- ginning the session he read telegram from the Texas millers protesting against a 20 cent rate on flour and wheat to Fort Worth and asking a date for hearing. c. D. McNeff be- lieved lowering the rate would raise the price Of wheat.
 c. Halle, traffic manager of the Mis- souri. Kansas X Texas could give no reason for 3015 cent rate to Fort Worth while on parallel Kansas, Ar kansas and Texas lines, charge of 235a cents for the same distance is made except on the ground of competi- ton Following C. Halle, H. II. Nudge. second vice president of the Rock Island, and head of the traffic depart ment was called.

 Another interesting feature brought out in the testimony was that it is cheaper to ship grain 800 miles to Chi cago than it is to Gainesville, Tex. a distance of 40 miles. This testl- monv was developed in hearing the complaint of w. 0. Mitchell. versus the Santa Fe railway. Mr Mitchell testi- fled that when there was a wheat fail ure in Texas the railroad company raised the rates to a prohibitory point and forced the shippers to ship north, where the price was not as good as it was in Texas J. R. Koontz, general freight agent for the Santa Fe an nounced decrease in rates from Okla homa City to Gainesville and Fort Worth, commencing March 15. To Gainesville the reduction will be about six cents and to Fort Worth about two cents Mir.

PROH|B|T|ON|STS ROUTED.
The Oklahoma Convention Adopts Amendment Providing for
 Separate Submission
LEGAL COMPLICATIONS MAY RESULT
As Both Territories Are to Vote on Oklahoma Proposition Question Arises Whether 1t Would Over ride Enabling Act-"Jim Crow" Car Proposition Next.

Guthrie, Ok, Feb. 2-The Prohi- tionists were routed Friday morning in the convention and they fell in line with the submissionists and carried the Rose amendment provid- ing for separate submission at the time of the ratification or rejection of the constitution. The Rose amendment carried by vote of s5 to 15s
 Immediately after the adoption of the Rose amendment, the South Carolina dispensary system was sprung and debate was in progress all morning on that proposition. The adoption of the submission plan involves very serious legal compli- cation. It is provided for Oklahoma and the Indian territory to cast whole vote on the Oklahoma proposi- tion. It specifics that the ballot shall be "yes and no' vote on pro hibition and if it carried there is question if it will override the terms of the enabling act and allow the state to regulate the Indian territory proposition after the admission to statehood. Many Indian territory delegates favored constitutional pro hibition with the idea that the Ok lahomans will assist them later in proposition to amend the consti- tuition and set aside the terms of the enabling act after statehood. The separate coach proposition will come up next
