Death of Fighting Phil Kearny.

Death of Fighting Phil kearny.
Late In the afternoon of September
l, in the midst of tremendous thun-
der shower, the Third Corps stood
across Lees path to Chantilly.
Stevens division of Burnsides corps
had been driven back, and its brave
leader killed.
Kearny was sent to regain the
ground.
The daring General, desiring to
know fully the nature of the ground
ir front and the position of the enemy
before ordering his men forward. rode
out alone to reconnoiter
He came Unexpectedly upon the
enemy in the darkness.
He inquired what troops they were.
They answered his question. but i'm
mediately discovered that he was a
federal officer. He turned his horse
to ride away. They called upon him
to halt, but he put spurs to his noble
animal and dashed away into the dark

the brave and idol not only of his
own division but of the whole army,
was killed.
His division waited anxiously some
time for his return. but as he came
not the worst was feared, and finally
General Birney took command and led
the men forward. They advanced and
recovered the ground Stevens had
lost
In the morning the enemy sent the
body of Kearny in under a flag of
truce. for they respected his bravery,
and his division wept over him like
children

He was never so happy as when the
battle ragged most fiercely about him.
The story was told that in one OF the
battles upon the peninsula one of his
brigadiers approached him and asked

struck me about six inches below the

afterwards cut out. 1t was flattened

When and where did this happen,
doctor?"
'Oh, during the Seven-days' fight,
some time in June, when Mcclellan
moved his whole army up country in
the first great advance on Richmond.
June q, l think it was, the enemy
attacked us in great force near Gaines
Mill, making fierce onslaught on our
right, threatening the rear and com
polling change of front. About .
o'clock the Confederates massed for a
final attack upon the left Of the line
held by Butterfield and Martindale

upon them with ceaseless force and
determination, and suddenly broke

The Confederates came rushing across
the field where l lay with the rest OF
the wounded and with the dead. They
were fighting for all they were worth
and when they saw a federal soldier
with too much life in him they ran
him through with the bayonet, and
as one of the Confederates passed me
he stabbed me in the left arm. AS he
hurriedly passed on he gave the gun
a twist and the bayonet was detached
and remained sticking in my arm and

right hand fortunately was at liberty
and l managed somehow to pull out

attention from any person. The hos

the best we could. Some of the men
who had good legs managed to get

scraped shallow places in the sand

DANGERS LURk IN
HEADACHE POWDERS
Indiscriminate Use Leads to
Heart Trouble and Many
Other Ills
Stomach Man" Tells How to
Do Away With Effect by
Treating Cause

A warning against the indiscrimi-
nate use of headache powders was
sounded yesterday by the young
meeting the people at the Owl drug
store in the Phelan building. Such
drugs give only temporary relief and
are apt to lead to many other serious
Ills, he said. Instead of steadying the
nerves. they increase the nervous
trouble and often result in nervous
prostration, is his theory. He said.
Women and men. too. who, troubled
with headaches. dizziness and nervous
ness, have got into the habit of dosing
themselves with headache powders are
in a rapid way to make their condition
ten times worse. Drugs put on the
market TO cure headaches are nothing
but poisohs in their resultant action
and a person who becomes addicted to
their use takes his life into his hands.
All kinds of dangers Turk in them
Aeetanilide, the most commonly used
drug for headache cures acts dt-
rectly on the heart. For time It
checks the flow of blood to the head.
dition of the blood vessels is congested
and the heart has been weakened.
Just as man has always tried to
find the fountain of perpetual youth
and never succeeded, so is 1T fmpos-
sibIe for him to abuse nature and not
have to pay the consequences. Head
aches are caused from a bad condition
of the stomach in 90 cases out of a
hundred. They can't be cured in 10
minutes by any known process. You've
got to go to the root of the trouble
and treat the cause.-the stomach dis
order Overeating. too much indulg-
ence in sweets, lack of exercise, too
little sleep, are the causes of head
aches and dizziness.
"The remedy which / have been in
Producing in San Francisco depends
on nature for its greatest success. 1t
is treatment that acts directly on
the stomach and through it tones up
the whole system. With stomach
in healthy condition mighty few per
