the poor fellows all across the battle
field showing signs of surrender on my
retreat, some with hands up, some with
feet up, some with black clothes, some
one color and some another, most of
them shedding hats and caps. I sup
pose they had forgotten to try and run

ia tie Great National Struggle.

The Colonel took out his watch, and
noted the time as he ordered me to
sound the call, and in just four minutes
the regiment had broken camp, saddled
their horses and formed in line, and
were counting off fours. BY this time
Elen, wagons, ambulances, etc, were
flushing by, around and thru our camp
in mad, insane panic of fear. Our
regiment was deployed to stop this mob,
but it seemed useless, and we were
soon moved toward the left front of the
line to try and keep the enemy from
following the Berryville pike, which led
to our rear. Soon the rest of our bri-
gade joined us; then the First Brigade
of Cavalry, Michigan troops chiefly,
which had been encamped several
miles to our right, came up, but
did not arrive until the panic-stricken
mass had passed to the rear, and they
saw none of it, which accounts for Col.
kidd's statement that there was no
panic at Cedar Creek The enemy
constantly tried to turn our left flank
and capture cur trains: we had many a
set-to with Kershaw's Division that day,
and they became pretty weil acquainted
with our regiment, as it was the fourth
or fifth time we had met them.
Cen. Sheridan Arrives.
Our army had brought the exuHant
enemy to halt, with our line extending
across the pike near Middletown, when
Gen. Sheridan came up, between 10 and
IL a. M The great cheering as he
came sweeping along on that nagnif-
cent horse RienZi confused the enemy,
and that gave us time to rearrange and
get our forces together in a concrete
mass ready for aggressive work. The
First Division of Cavalry, under Gen
Merritt. was on the left of the pike, and
the Sixth Corps to the right of it: the
Third Division of Cavalry, under Gen.
Custer, was on the right, with orders
to try and turn the enemy's left. and.
sif possible, get at his train and create a
panic; the Nineteenth Corps, with the
returned diSorganized troops We're held
in reserve. Gen. Deven, who command
ed our brigade, says: THE duty Of the

rebel infantry. strongly posted in the
streets and yards of Middletown AS
we advanced we broke into rapid
charge all along the line with an inn

When One Spends MoneY

One would think that money would
be saved in prosperous times when
there Is plenty of 1t about. But no; that
In not the time when 1t Is saved. 1t Is
then that 1t is spent. Everybody spends
governments. railroads. corporations,
capitalists. housekeepers. house build
ers. collectors People expand their
wants IN such times and satisfy some
OF them. and then Is when ii is most of
all impossible to live on anything a
year. But after all the money has been
spent a few times over and has come
to be scarce and borrowing has come to
be a serious matter and folks have
much less to spend and no expectations
then everybody groans and begins TO
save, not only trying desperately To
squeeze back inside of the bounds of
income, but TO pay back what was
spent IN expectation OF a time when
saving would have become convenient
To most of MS that time never comes
And yet there are things for which we
spend more than We can afford, that
really do justify our expenditures. 50
that after the money has been spent
and we are plnched for the lack OF 1t
we would still rather have what 1t
bought than have the money back

Johns Medicine Cured His Lungs and
Built Up His Strength.
Last fall, had severe attack of
pneumonia and was confined to the

that time | was still suffering from a
hard, racking cough, from which the
doctors could give no relief. | tried
everything l could think of or hear of
but with no beneficial result. In this
condition | returned to work. One
day shopmate, who noticed how |
was suffering, advised me to try

did so and began to get relief at once.
| was soon cured OF the cough and
able once more to take good nights
rest, but fearing that the cough might
return, | continued taking the medi-
cine until had used twelve bottles.

The Heart Can't Stand
Rheumatic Acid
Poisoning.
To Free and Correct the Blood a
Urico.O Treatment is Advised.

There is great danger in those sharp, shoot
ing pains through the chest around the region
of the heart. 1t means that poisonous uric
and rheumatic acid are there ready to spring
and grip tightly the muscles controlling the
hearts action. Don't neglect these warn
ings, they are the danger signals Nature
flashes to you for help. You must neutralile
and drive these dangerous poisons from the
system, or sooner or later they will overcome
you.
The only true way to cure Rhuematsm is
to get at it from the inside with Urc.O. 1t
acts with marvellous swiftness upon the
muscles, kidneys and blood. Clears out the
sand-ike deposits in the muscles, forces the
kidneys to perform those duties for which
they were designed and neutralizes the acid
within the blood.
Your physician will admit that this is the
only true way to cure Rhuematism perma-
nently and should know that Uric-O is the one
remedy that will do it successfully and perma-
nently. Uric-O is liquid taken internally, 3
times daily, and does not contain any NOR
phine, opium or other so-called pain dead
eners." 1t is good for Rheumatism in any
form. Sciatica, Muscular, Infammatory and
Articular Rheumatism all yield readily to
Uric-O.
1t sells for 75c and SI.oo the bottle or you
can obtain trial bottle free by writing to

full farm home in Embden, few
miles above North Arson on Friday

Many years of Mr. Ellis life was

one of the most progressive and

great interest in agriculture, his
speeches appearing in the Agri-
cultural Reports of Maine from time
to time. In politics he was leading
Democrat and politician, often times
stumping his district in political cam
paigns. His fund of knowledge,
oratorical powers, and pleasing ad-
dress made his services at these
times in especial demand. A staunch
supporter of the cause of temperance
and true friend OF the prohibitory
law. In his death the cause of tenn
perance has lost one of its true and
trusted friends. He served in both
branches of the Maine legislature
and at one time was honored by being
chosen President of the Senate. He
was also eminent in the grange
throughout the state, and did much
to bring the order up to its present
prosperous condition. Mr.. Ellis was
a good citizen, neighbor, husband,
father, and friend. The funeral was
held, Sunday afternoon, at 1 O'Clock
at the home, Rev. c. II. Young. pas
tor of the M. E. church of North
Arson, officiating. The impressive
