The Civil War
At a Glance.
BY WALTON WILLIAMS.
-HE American civil war was tn
. y o.

l"HE American civil war was the
greatest conflict at arms in the
! history of the human race. The
American Revolutionary war,
which lasted nearly twice as long, was
series of mere skirmishes compared
with the struggle of the early sixties.
Battles were fought during the civil
war, now known only to the mustiest
of historians or to local tradition or
recollection, which exceeded in the
forces engaged and surpassed in the
carnage resulting some of the most i'm
portant actions during the struggle for
Independence. The number of battles
fought greatly exceeded the number
incident to any single European war.
Tie firing line was a thousand miles
long. Nearly 100000 men were en-
gagged, More than 100000 men were
killed in action or died from wounds
OF disease. In practically every re-
srect the war of 1S61-65 was the big
gestsand bloodiest of all time.
This stnpendous struggle embraced
50 many ramifications of incident that
a. complete history of the whole is ut
tarly impossible. Historians have been
able only to "hit the high spots" for
want of space and lack of time and
endurance to sift and chronicle all the
Interesting facts.
We do not know even how many bat
tiles were fought. This can be only ap-
Broximated. In the governments
n chronological List of Battles" the
humber exceeds 1900. But the bureau
bf pensions has an alphabetical list Of
engagements, including skirrishes and
such other minor actions as were deem
ed sufficiently important to note. This
3lst contains more than 6,S00 engage
zments.
About 2,SO0,000 Union soldiers were
enlisted during the war. The Confed-
|erate records are very incomplete.
many of them having been lost or de-
|stroyed. 1t is estimated that the num-
|bers engaged on that side of the con-
|fict were not far short of 00,000 men
These figures do not include the con
siderable numbers of irregular COM
batants on each side, many of whom
were not officially enrolled.
War department records show 359,
52S deaths from all causes in the Tn
ion armies during the war. In proper
tion to strength of forces engaged the
Confederate losses were equally Sc
we're. In the absence of definite records
any estimate, however, must be mere
guess. In the Union armies GLOSS
men were killed in battle, 43,012 died
of wounds received in action, and 224,-
$50 died of disease incident to service.

cuted four officers and sixty men of
the Union forces.
1t is most remarkable fact that in
the four years of this mighty conflict
only one man was executed for 'polit-
icaf' reasons by q Union general. In
New Orleans a man named Mumford
pulled down a flag of the United States
after the city had been captured, but
before it was occupied by the Federal
forces. General Benjamin T. Butler.

BLUE CHEERED GRAY.
When the Federal Troops Saluted
StonewaIl Jackson.

When the Federal Troops Sauted
Stonewall Jackson.
Few generals were so beloved and
revered by their soldiers as Stonewall
Jackson, the great fianker," was by
his. His simplicity, strength, daring,
skill and indomitable will endeared
him to his troops, while his successes
reused their admiration. Whenever
great cheering was heard in Jackson's
camp those who were detained from
being present at the occasion would
say, Here comes either Jackson or an
old rabbit"
AT one time when Jackson's camp
was on the southern bank of the Rap
pahannock and that of the Federals on
the northern bank of that river q
friendly intercourse, not only confined
to the exchange of coffee and tobacco,
existed between the outposts of the
two armies, and friendly greetings
were often exchanged across the river.
One day when Jackson rode along the
river and the Confederate troops ran
together, as was their custom, to greet
him with a yell the Federal pickets
shouted across the river asking what it
was all about "Stonewall is comingp
was the reply, and Immediately, to
Jackson's astonishment, the cry "Hur-
rah for Stonewall Jacksonw rang out
from the Federal ranks Thus the
voice of north and south. prophetic of
a time of renewed unity, mingled in
reclamation of great soldier.-Los

most of 1t from friends and admirers
of General Lawton in Indiana, his
home state. The movement to erect
the memorial was started shortly after
the death of the general.
The career of General Lawton makes
"A brilliant page In American military
history. For thirty-seven years he was
q soldier of the United States. He
served in the civil war, in the Spanish
American war, in the Filipino uprising
and through several severe Indian
campaigns on the western plains. He
was what is sometimes described as
born soldier. In fact, he never follow

Sumter In 1861 Henry w. Lawton en-
listed in the volunteer service. He. was
but eighteen years of age. His first
service was as a private and sergeant
In an Indiana infantry regiment, and
he was promoted rapidly for gallant
fighting. Congress voted him a medal
of honor for gallantry in action in the
fighting before Atlanta in 1864. Before
the end Of the war he was a breyet
colonel. When the war closed, Colonel
Lawton retired for a few months, but
In July, 1866, he entered the regular
army as q second lieutenant in an in
fantry regiment. He remained in the
regular army until his death by Fill

later. At the time of his death his rank
in the regular army was that of a colo

The Rev. Christian f. Reisner

for their kork in shortening the hours
of labor. He said@in part: 49,.

a high appreciation Of the great value
Of associated effort, in maintaining
just Industrial conditions for the wage
earners, and our interview with Mr..
Gibbs fully confirmed that opinion.
The International Brotherhood, or
supreme governing body of the craft,
favors the idea Of basing government
tai authority upon the consent Of the
governed, and for that reason have
recently submitted proposed consti-
tuition to the referendum vote of all
the local unions.
So far as No. 81 has been enabled
to examine the new law, its provisions
are looked upon with favor, and an
affirmative vote thereon will probably
be the unanimous decision Of the men,

Duluth Commercial Club Said to
Give Preference to Foreign
Cigars.
Article Republished by Special
Request Of a Number Of Du-
luth Citizens.

A Commercial club. as the name

vancement Of the commercial interest

or locality. that it processes to repre-
sent.
It should, as far as possible, en-
deavor to pursue such business meth
DDS and policies, as are best calculated
to promote the general purposes Of
the organization
The purposes of the organization,
surely, must contemplate the encour-
agement of nome industry, by patron
izing the home manufacturer, when
his wares are, of as good, if not bet
ter quality, than those offered by an
outsider for the same money.
We take it that no one will serious
~ join Issue with our contentious
thus far, and for that reason, we can
not understand why the Duluth Com
mercial club, should show such a de-
cided preference for cigars manufac-
tured elsewhere than in Duluth. par
ticularly when the Duluth product is
not one whit inferior in quality, nor
higher in price than the other
Perhaps it may be said that the
Commercial club has a right to buy
it's cigars, etc., wheresoever it pleases
oh, yes, II consistency is a Jewel Sc
rare that Commercial clubs can't at,

FINAL DECISION TODAY.
End of Trial of Alleged Cabrera As
aaSsins.


City of Mexico. June 1.-The final de-
cision in the trial on appeal before the
court martial of the second instance of
Guatemala of nineteen men condemned
to death on suspicion of completely in
the alleged attempt on the life of
President Estrada Cabrera will be rem
dered tomorrow according to a tele-
gram from Guatemala City received
in Mexico today.
This telegram gives details of the
appeal trial and states that the Gov
eminent representatives or prosecutor
at the trial asked for absolution for
one of the Mextcans condemned with
the other eighteen men to death. This
Mexican was represented by a Next
can lawyer.
1t is stated in the message that the
trial began May 30 and continued
through two days.
Franciso Retian. former minister OF
foreign affairs of Salvador, has re-
ceived private advices to the effect thai
there is no foundation for the rumor
of a revolution under the leadership
of Dr. Prudencio Alfara having been
launched recently and that this report
probably grew out of an abortive at
tempt which was made some weeks
ago which was promptly crushed. 9th
er advices which were received in that
city to the effect that the Figueroa
government is RAPIDLY accommodating
strength and that it is now in a posi-
ton to repel any invasion or repel any
revolution which may arise, are with
out confirmation.
DIR. Alfaro is in Honduras where he
went into hiding for short time.
Dr. Policarpo Bonilla. former pres
ident of Honduras after having been
imprisoned in the Honduras capital
for months was sent virtually as n
prisoner to Salvador where he was sub
sequently confined in prison, is now at
liberty.

day in what proved to be a series of
the most wonderful athletic perform
ances ever seen on an American Gin
der track.
New intercollegiate figures were
written in six out OF thirteen events.
and one more record would have gone
down, that of the high hurdles, had not
the officials decided that the runners
were too much favored by the high
wind.
Pennsylvania was given a splendid
fight for first place by seven men from
the University of Michigan. winner by
only four points. The Pennsylvania
scored a total of thirty three to TWEEN
ty-four for Michigan. Yale was third
with 90 points: Cornell fourth with
Is, Princeton with 10 and Syracuse
with 8 beat out Harvard which won
only points.
intercollegiate records were broken
in the mile, the shot-put, quarter mile,
two miles, high jump and pole vault
Garrells, of Michigan, ran the high
hurdles in Is 1-5 second but kraenz-
leins record of IS -5 seconds will re-
main the intercollegiate figures
Captain Garrells of Michigan led the
field with thirteen out of the twenty
nine points for the Westerners. Gar
rells won both hurdle events from
such fast men as Shaw of Dartmouth
and Hubbard of Amherst, and the stur-
dy Michigan athlete also showed his
strength in the shot put by getting sec
ond place over Stephenson of Harvard.
Haskins of Pennsylvania won the mile
and half mile and Cartmell of Penn
sylvania won both the dashes.
