MISSIONS
TO THE FRONT

The matter Of the rally for missions
is TO the front. We want to have a
grand missionary demonstration. We
believe in general movement for q
thorough arrangement. more perfect
plans 10 do better and more effective
work among our people in this section
along missionary lines, on a broader
more intelligent and advanced basis
ttha1 Aaau uaaH-slsa~Psear hsssaaAsral
In this general movement In which ouI
church is engaged we seek the help
OF our white friends in this uplift.
Just as a normal mans best friend
is he who gives him an opportunity to
enter the industrial field to carve out
success for himself, and not he who
tosses TO him promiscuous charity. So
in this work, the best friend for the
uplift and advance OF our people is
preeminently he who seeing the i'm.
portance OF our moral and religious
efforts for the uplift of our race. helps
us TO do more effective work on these
lines.
We seek to raise $4,000 to be used
for the following purposes: We have
3S points in our conference 4. need
of places for our people to meet. In
IL Of these places We have begun
work but We need money to put these
places on working basis. The other
places are new fields We need money
to 90 in to these places and establish
our work among our people. OF course
We can only hope to begin on a very
modest basis, perhaps organize a
Sunday school or Christian Endeavor
society. and then have a preacher to
look after such points periodically
Then In order to more effectually
reach our people We need q training
home to prepare our workers for ef.
tective service. We need men as

these agencies on very modest scale
and hope by toll and effort to build

We have before us.
The African NJ. E. church feels that
God has called hei to look after the
interests of her people and the Solo
rado Conference is not any different
in Spirit from the 60 conferences of
which our church is composed.
We feel that this is a vast field and
We are moved to rise to the dignity
of the work before us And make this

SMELLING THE FLORIDA.
An Old Monitor Used for a Test of Pro-
jectiies and Guns.

most interesting experiment was
tried last week in the waters used for
drill and test exercises, near Fortress
Monroe and not far from where the
historical battle took place between the
Monitor and the Merrimac. The obso-
lete monitor Florida was sent out under
her own steam with a small crew, which
took refuge behind the turrets and in
the hold The sister monitor, Arkansas,
steamed up to within $50 yards of the
Florida. The Arkansas was accompa-
MED by several other vessels on which
were ordnance, gunnery and navigation
experts, higher officers of the Navy and
Army and few other invited guests.
Inside the Florida's turrets were placed
wooden dummies 10 represent the gun
crews. At the close range the Arkansas
fred one of her 12-inch rifles sauareiy
against the Florida's turret. The terri
lic shock of this was entirely taken up
by the armored plates of the turret.
They were twisted and bent, and a
large cash was torn in the side, but the
shell went no farther than this, and the
effect inside was practically nothing.
The dummies We're still standing in their
places, and the only injury was that
the gun sights were swept away by a
fragment Of u shell which got in thru
the portfolio. Then five we'll directed
shots We're fired at the military mast to
test its value in action. The mast stood
this surprisingly well, and at the con-
clusion of the fire was still in good
shape for action. Tho some of the guys
had been cut and it had been actually
struck by pieces of shell, its stability
was uninjured; it would have carried
the men in the top and would not have
threatened those on the deck with in
jury from its fall. The Army and Navy
officers express themselves as highly
pleased with the results of the test and

Surrender of the Poet Laureate of the
New Madrid Swamps.

Editor National Tribune: Will you
kindly give an account of the surrender
of Gen. NJ. Jeff Thompson, the number
surrendered, and to whom he surren-
dered? What transportation, and what
troops were engaged in that expedi-
ton? Also, the names of the officers
in command, and the name of the

were still in the field in Arkansas after
1.-THE surrender of the other armies
Maj.-Gen. G. NJ. Dodge sent Lieut.
Col c. w. Davis, 51st H.. and Capt.
J. F. Bennett to Chalk Bluff, on the
Arkansas border, to demand the sur
render. Col. Davis took from Cape
Girardeau 200 men of the 18th Ill
Cav. under the command of Lieut.. Col
ID. j.. Hynes, and proceeded to Chalk
Bluff, wnere they arrived May s. They
built d raft for the st. Francis River,
and then tried to get definite informa-
ton in regard to the whereabouts of
Thompson. Thompson was finally To-
Gated, and Capt. Bennett with 60 men
went out to see him, and brought him
back to Chalk Bluff. After some nego-
tiations, he agreed to surrender all his
forces, which he estimated at 5000
men. In all, 1854 were paroled, and
they surrendered about 500 guns
Thompson explained that his men had
come back from the Price Raid thru
Missouri, with very few arms. Thomp-
son had no transportation except 800
or 400 dug-out canoes, and no animals
or provisions of any description, except
1881 of Confederate money, which
he turned over and received receipts
for. His men were without food, and
$4,000 rations were issued to them
They all seemed much pleased at the
surrender, and said that all they want
ed was to be allowed TO live in peace
at home. The only person that was
refused a parole was Col. Tenn Reeves,
18th Mo, who had ordered the shoot
ing of Maj. Wilson, and six of his
men in the field in 1864. after they had
surrendered. Gen. Thompson acted in
the most honorable manner. and helped
all he could to complete the surrender.

The Last Battle.

Col. N. Headington, Portland, Ind,
writes to Capt ]. p. Dean, of this city,
with reference to the last battle of
the war, which took place in Texas and
usually known as Palmetto Ranch. He
says that he had just returned from a
trip to the north end of Padre Island,
with so men and some Mexican scouts.
They had been after cattle, as they
needed beef. They found the cattle aft
er crossing the bay, six miles wide,
but could not get them across, and had
to return without them. Immediately
on his return, the expedition was start
ed out in another direction, for the
same purpose. No fight was expected,
but they ran onto the forces of Cen
Slaughter. Col. Headington and his
men being footsore, were left in
camp. When they heard the firing, he
got the men together and started out
to help, but when they reached the
mouth of the river they met our forces
returning. He remembers that the
Color-bearer of the 34th Ind. tore the
flag from the staff, wrapped it around
his body. and swan the Rio Grande
to the Mexican side. When he reached
Bagdad, the Mexicans took the flag
from him. He came back to camp
and reported all the facts. Col Head
ington was sent to demand the flag.
but the Mexicans refused to deliver
1t without orders from Gen. Mejia.
Headington returned to Matamoras
and reported his failure. He was i'm
mediately ordered to return to Bag
dad. to demand the flag, with the threat
that if ii was not delivered on the
Island within an hour they would fire
on the town. The flag came over in
time.
Comrade Lee Martz writes about the
same fight; that he remembers that
Carroll Williams was killed, and John
McJohnson was wounded. McJohnson
lives at Logansport, is in the lumber
trade, and quite wealthy.

PENSION POINTERS.
Inquiries Answered and Suggestions
Made.

Question, Howell, Ind.-Since the or
ganiZation mentioned was not mustered
into the service of the United States. no
pay could be recovered from the Gen.
eral Government for any service rem
dered, and it is believed that the State
would not take cogniZance of a claim
presented at this late day.
Inquirer, Carlisle, Pa.-The widow
of a soldier who served in the civil
war, in the war with Spain or in the
Regular Army has title to pension If
his death was due to disability in
CURED in service and line of duty, the
date of marriage not being Il factor.
Second, Mexican War widows are en-
titled to $12 a month under the act
of April 10, 1908.
A. F., Grand Chain, Ill.-Unless the
unfortunate child mentioned was under
16 years of age at the date of the
fathers death he would not have title
TO pension under any law. If, however,
he was under the age named at the date
of his fathers death and death was
due to disability incurred in service
and line of duty the child could receive
pension not only to his 18th birth
day. but be continued on the rolls (by
special application in view of his I'M
fortunate condition even tho the appli-
birthday
"One who wants justice."-Therc is
no way by which wife can secure one
half of her husbands pension, even tho
he is squandering his money in drink
unless he deserts her for a period OF
six months or more, and she is in nee
essitous circumstances and of good
moral character.
j. p. G--Your service in the civil
war would not give your wife title to
pension under the act of June 81, 1890,
or the act of April 10, 1906, SINCE your
marriage was after June 81, 1890.
Should your wife survive you she can
draw pension under the general law,
If your death is a result of disability
incurred in service and line of duty
either in the civil war, or Regular
Army, or volunteer service in the war
with Spain, and, since you were Cap
tain, her pension would be $40 a
month.
Subscriber.-Since the feeble-minded
girl is drawing 50 a month pension, it
is presumed that her mother is living
and in receipt of a pension in her own
right. If such is the case the child will
have title to $12 per month after her
mothers death in addition to the pen
sion she now receives. provided there
are no brothers or sisters under 16
wears of age at that time. II there are
two or more minor children, the one
who has title to continuance upon at
tanning the age of 16 by reason of per-
manent helplessness will receive its pro
rata share of the entire pension until
all the other children have attained the
age of 16, after which date it will re-
ceive the pension in its entirety during
the life of said child or during the
period of said disa bility
