Wednesday, 18th August, 1903.

In our issue for the 18Th instant we re-
printed from the Nsm York Ueyald u list of
nineteen mtn, who are now Presidents of
great railway companies in the U~nltelStates,
ana who have risen TO those honorable
and lucrative positions from quite humble
employmente.
We hope that some Of our Santa Cruz bows
saw and read that list, and that they asked
themselves how those men had come to la
where they are.In most of the cases the story
Of the rise would no doubt be very INTERESTING.
That those stories would vary a geo deaf in
the different cases we NAV be sure: but we
may be equally sure that they would show
uniformity IN this, that all of hem would b. re-
cords OF dllgenI and faithful work at every
stage OF the ascent. 1t was not idlenes4 sclf-in-
uu'9thce'SIl -concelt, dr., aiming of grea things,
'hn' Drought those men to their present DO
S''lohs' out hard work, seIf-denial, politeness
and consideration for all with whom thew
a into contact, and the fixed sturdy
determination to push on.
IT is not many boys who will come to Iva
railway presidents, business managers and
the like; but the door of advancement is
always open to those who deserve to have #
open Tor them. Let the boy who is going
to school remember that it's in the school
the foundations are laid, then he will be
obedlent, dlI'gent, punctual, polite to his
teachers and his school fellows. The bow
who is beginning to learn Il trade or work Of
any kind, must be eagor to understand his
work and to learn it thoroughly from the
foundations up. He must be steady too.
that is to soy keeping to the one thine. not
easily tired Of it and inclined TO try some
thing else, The "Jack of ali trades, master
OF none" will certainly never come to be a
railway president or any other kind of pre-
sident. He may be q useful man in his way.
and there is nothing to prevent his being
an honest and an honourable man. but he
cannot expect to rise to the top. The love
OF his work will always make II man happy
III 1t, and the intelligent mastery of it viii
make hlm love it.Loving hi, work, he will not
need to console himself with degrading and
destructive potions not only will he see the
FOLLY OF such a course, he will have no inclina-
ton to adopt it.Such a man may never come TO
be, like a railway president, the master of
crowds of his fellows, But he will be master
OF himself, which in reality is a much grand
er thing, and. as already said, when a door
to Advancement is opened he is the man
who stands ready to pass through it to bet
ter things.

History of the Gallant Sd Iowa.

The following history of the Third
Iowa cavalry was printed in the Daven-
port Gazette when the regiment ar
rived in that city in 1865 to be muster
ed out of the service:
| Yesterday at 1 o'clock p. m. this
noble body Of men reached our city.
A large and enthusiastic crowd of our
citizens was assembled at the depot to
welcome the returning heroes. AS the
train appeared on this side of the
bridge, the cheering of the soldiers
commenced, and in moment there
after was taken up by those congre-
gated there. Loud, long and clear
were the cheers that greeted the regi-
ment as the cars rolled along up to the
depot. AS soon as they stopped the
troops were disembarked and formed in
| line, after which E. G. Odirone, Esq,
introd thssRev. Fl. N. Powers, who
welcomed the regiment back to their
homes and friends in hearty and
spirited address, which was replied to
by Gen. Noble in u manner creditable
to himself and regiment. After the
addresses were concluded, the regiment
was marched by it's commander to Camp
Mcclellan, where they will remain
until paid off and discharged.
This regiment was organized in Keo-
kuk and mustered into the service
under the command Of Col. Cyrus
Bussey. After it's organization it was
Immediately mounted and sent TO the
front. Arriving at st. Louis, it was ap-
pointed to take part in the expedition
under Gen. Curtis, then being or
ganized at that city. This expedition
it accompanied through Missouri and
Arkansas, taking prominent part in
all the battles in which it engaged
until it's arrival at Helena, Ark. At
the battle of Pea Ridge the regiment
was distinguished OH account of its
bravery and prompt action. At Helena
it was transferred and formed part Of
the army under Gen. Grant, then oper-
ating against Vicksburg, in which
operations it took prominent part.
In the meantime, one-half of the regi-
ment under Major Calwell was in north
Missouri and engaged successfully in
the affairs Of "Moore's Mill" "Kirks-
yille' and "Hartsville," at the latter
place inflicting upon Marmaduke much
damage. This portion also under the

regiment had the satisfaction of taking
prisoners Gems. Cabell and Marmaduke,
after a charge upon and over rebel
battery, behind which the rebel gen
erals had posted themselves. For this
act they ware awarded congressional
medal. A portion of the regiment
which was left behind at Memphis ac-
companied Gen. Grierson in his raid up
on the Mobile & Ohio railroad, and sue
ceeded in cutting off the rebel Gen.
Hoods communications on his retreat
from Nashville. After the defeat of
Gen. Price in Missouri, the regiment
was reunited at Louisville, KY, from
which place they went forward and
joined Gen. Wilson in his raid through
Alabama. During this raid the regi-
ment was continually engaged in
scouting and skirmishing with the
enemy. 1t bore prominent part in
the battles at Montevallo, Ebenezer
church, Selma and Columbus; at the
latter place they were the only regi-
mont dismounted, and although num-
bering but three hundred, made a des-
perate charge on thirty-five hundred
rebels and four batteries, and so de-
termined and deadly was the charge
they made that they succeeded in
breaking the rebel line, capturing the
guns and holding the position gained
until they received reinforcements.
From Columbus the regiment was sent
to Macon, Ga, and from there to At
lanta, at which point they were
mustered out on the 8th day of the
present month.
Such is the record of one of the cav
airy regiments sent into the conflict for
freedom by our noble young state. Well
may they be proud of their achievements
and gladly should our citizens come for
ward Ito do them honor" Wreaths of
laurels should be twined for and deck

resulted in the capture of Little Rock,
Ark. Previous to this they were also
engaged in the battles which occurred
at White Water, Mo-, and Chalk Bluffs,
Ark, during the pursuit of Gen. Marina

surrender of Vicksburg, the six COM
