There was but one way to delay Jack

General P~leasanton asked Major Peter

OF VALOR NOT TOLD
War Department Volumes Do Not
Recount Many Heroisms.
HOW GEN. WHIT SAVED REBEL
and How Two Boys Defying Lees
Army Got Their General Into
Into Danger and Then
Extricated Him.

There has Just been issued under the
direction of the War department two large
volumes entitled Deeds of valor," which
recount achievements of men of the
volunteer and regular armies, who have
been awarded medals of honor during the
last forty-five or fifty years.
While this is a merited tribute to brave
and heroic men. the list at the best is but
a fragmentary story of deed of valor and
self-sacrifice on the part of the American
s~oldiery. These accounts will go down into
history to the glory of these men, as they
should. But other deeds just as valorous
have been performed by other soldiers OF
which no published record has been made.
Here is a half dozen OF them:
During the battle Of the Wilderness in
May, 1864. a young confederate soldier was
badly wounded in front of the Sixth
Pennsylvania cavalry. and fell between the
battling lines. He was in imminent DANCE
of being trodden to death under the horses
of the advancing cavalry. One of the Sixth
Pennsylvania dismounted from his horse,
went out under the heavy fire from the
enemy. picked up the wounded soldier and
carried him to a place Of safety behind a
big log. The confederates seeing the kindly
act refrained from firing on the Pennsyl-
vania soldier and he returned to his com
mand.
The Pennsylvania soldier was Sergeant
Theodore +. Whit, afterwards a brigadler
general OF the regular army and at one
time commander Of the Department of the
Missouri. About four years ago General
Whit attended a reunion OF his old regi-
ment. the Sixth Pennsylvania. at Philadel-
phia. A guest OF honor at the reunion was
the confederate soldier then visiting
Pennsylvania, who General Whit as an
humble sergeant carried off the Wilder
ness battlefield to a place Of safety. 1t
was their first meeting since the battle.
Daredevil Privates Rescue General.
During the battle Of Wier Bottom Church
in front OF Petersburg In June, 1864, the
1891 Ohio volunteers was hurtled back by a
sudden charge OF the confederates and re-
treated in a panic across a clearing. George
Powell and Sterne F. Aspinwall OF that
regiment, chagrined at the retreat, turned
when half way across the clearing and
opened fire on the advancing enemy. The
audacity OF the two boys struck the ad-
miration OF the confederates and they with
held their fire for a moment Just then

horses Of the detachment during an at
tack on the party by Indians in the
river bottoms. The other four
men were hurrledly engaged in scooping
out a shallow buffalo wallow for a tenn
porary breastwork.
Smith sank to his knees and struggled to
hold onto the horses. His companions
called to him to come into the buffalo
wallow under the cover Of the horses. He
crawled toward the wallow l~aboriously and
evidently in the most intense pain with
rapidly growing weakness. Reaching 1t
he laid himself out at full length on the
little ridge of sand between his companions
and the Indians, saying as he did SO:
Il am all in, boys. T. just lay here and
be a breastwork for you. They can't hurt
me any more" While he was speaking
his body quivered slightly, and when the
boys tried to pull him gently down into
the shallow wallow he was dead.
Phillips Great Ride.
John Phillips, teamster, made the soli-
tary ride from Fort Phil Kerry to Fort
Laramie, leaving Fort Phil Kearny the
night of the massacre Of Fetterman's com
mand, December 81, 1866. Before leaving
he went to Mrs. Grummond, whose hus-
band, Lieutenant George Grummond, had
been killed in the massacre Of the Fetter-
man party, and handed her his only pos

A RAILROAD LEAK
Omaha Mechanic Designs Novel Door
for Grain Cars.
TO ACTION BY BEE ITEM
Device to StOp Losses Rail-
roads Sustain by Disappearance
of Temporary Grain
Doors.

Many OF the most useful inventions Of
this and former times had their beginning
in accident or sprang from the suggestion
of others than the inventor. Oftentimes
the newspaper mention of Industrial waste
starts the inventive germ on a line OF
action calculated to turn loss into profit.
Last summer The Bee published a news
item about the losses annually sustained by
railroads through the disappearance OF i'm
side doors of cars used for the shipment Of
grain, These doors are moi attached to
the cars. Serving a temporary though
necessary purpose, they invariably vanish
soon after the car is unloaded. Very few
last for more han one shipment. The
statement was made that the Northwestern
company during the preceding year 1OOD
spent $4,000 for grain doors, and that most
Of them had vanished as completely as
dreams of fortune from a sailed mine. The
Union Pacific, the Burlington and other
grain shipping roads we're equal sufferers,
the total Of their annual losses from this
trifling source exceeding half a million
dollars.
The publication revealed a long felt
want" Here was a large leak in Industrial
revenues, assuring welcome and financial
returns to the one who would turn the
loss into profit. The idea set in motion
the inventive faculties of James X. Wood
ward, at 5SOS North Thirty-third street,
Omaha, resulting in the construction OF a
grain door. for which a patent was granted
recently.
The great merit Of the invention Is its
simplicity and the readiness with which II
can be attached to grain cars. II consists
Of a perpendicular and a horizontal rod,
running by the side and over the car door
frame, connected at the corner by screw
gear. On the horizontal rod are two small
drums, on which winds the wire rope at
tached to the grain door. Beneath the car
floor is a handle for turning the rods ana
raising the door. The door is about three
fourths the size of the regular door. divided
in two parts. but hinged together, so that
II can be folded and securely hooked to
the roof when the car is needed for other
merchandise. An ingenious feature of the
device is the groove In which the door sets
when in use. The bolts which hold the
plates OF the groove are adjustable, so as

Shortly before dark on the night Of the
parade students are seen vending their
way toward the armory, where the parade
is scheduled to begin. Observant people
notice that each student carries under
meath his arm a small bundle. which, when
opened at the armory r. veals his costume
for the nights work. 1t IS nothing more
than an old nightgown that may have
been worn out many months before, but
which the student has saved for this very
night.
II usually is nearly Q o'clock when the
parade Is ready 20 start. BY that time
there are 500 or 600 boys in line. All are
CARRIED in nightgowns, and some are wear
ing nightcaps. At a signal from the leader
the marchers start on their way down
North Twelfth street, giving in loud voices
several OF the Nebraska yells. Sometimes
the leader chooses TO take his followers

ing the opening minutes. but no matter
how long he stays on this street he sooner

while the students are in the house and
the stage is given over to the merry
makers. On the stage some OF the students
stop to perform before the audience, and
often furnish better amusement for the
audience than do the actors who have
beeen crowded off. They always get much
applause, too.
After the theaters have been honored, the
cafes and drug stores are next given at
~tention. These places dish out refresh
ments to the ''shirt-tRilers." asking and
receiving no pay. The students expect to
be given free drinks and cigars. and the
owners OF the restaurants and stores do
not hesitate about giving their goods out
free OF charge.
Next after the stores, come the hotels.
Al these the students only march through
the office, giving yells. To wind up the
parade the leader takes his followers to
the girls dormitory. located at the corner
of Twelfth and Q streets.

Best Time I'm the Dorm.
The members OF the ~white-garbed band
are apparently enjoying best their nights
fun when they are in the DORM" and they
disregard the rules of the house by going
to the top of the building. They invest
every corner. Some times. as on the occa-
sion of the last parade. they go where
they should not-into rooms that have been
left unoccupied by some Of the girls who
ave gone from the building. This spring
they took clothing from one or two rooms.
Such offenses as this. though, are seldom
committed.
The university students themselves
usually are not disorderly when in this
parade, and they do not often break the
law by stealing or destroying property.
Frequently in past years local town toughs
have mingled with the students on parade,
and to them is laid the blame for most of
the Towdy work that has been charged to
the students.
Only on two occasions in the history of
the ''shirttaiI'' have the students become
unruly. One OF these was during the pa

see the show without charge When they
were refused admittanoe with fee they
tried to force their way into the show and
a free-for-all resulted. Clubs and bricks
were used as weapons in the melee; heads
were hurt arms twisted and injuries of
many kinds received by both sides. The
fight was finally stopped by the police.
The students boast that the carnival com
pany has not visited Lincoln since that
date.
That show Fight.
The second time the students exceeded
their rights was a year after the fight
with the show crowd. The police early in
the evening, during the parade, had ar
rested three or four Of the students for
alleged misconduct and the rest of the
"shirt-tailers" when the parade was done
hurried to the police station and demanded
the release Of the prisoners. This, Of
course, was denied and the students imme-
diately stormed the place, showering brick
bats and stones at the windows Of the
station. Practically all the police force
was called into action and the students
were driven away without getting their
companions released from custody.
Firmer hands nave taken hold OF the
control Of the ''shirt-tai" organization now
and in the future will endeavor to prevent
any law-breaking. New features will be
added next year to increase the dignity Of
the march and to add to its attractiveness
