LETTER FROM A VETERAN.
Maj. P. Ell. Larey Makes Corrections
Regarding Fort Stedman.

WcI0 UCIGCl 1OI VIC SOlulcIS, CA0
soldiers who wore the gray worthily
that the incidents-facts developed in
the war of '61-65 remain unwritten
rather than stated carelessly or
enormously, especially when it is
remembered that, in many cases, there
is state and confederate record of
the same. Let the chroniclers of the
services, the deeds, the heroism, and
fortitude of Barlow county's volun-
teers beware how they trife with
honors won on bloody fields under
Lee, Johnston, Stonewall Jackson and
John B. Gordon during four long
years of Titanic warfare which
stamped the life of the confederacy
as an age of glory. Pens guided by
selfish thought or invidious hand dare
not essay to enter the province Of the
historian of southern chivalry. While
he lives, the confederate soldier will
guard truth and virtue and innocence
with the same fidelity that the vestal
virgins in the temple of Rome watch
ed and fed the sacred fire.
Correction-In an article on first
page of your issue Of December II,
1908, relative to the Barlow soldiers
monument is found grave error as
to facts, where the author, presum-
ably, inadvertently, blunders when
referring to the successful attack on
Fort Stedman by Capt. Peter Larey
and his sharpshooters, he adds, "but
he and his little band were cap
tured,' There is the mistake. Now
here are the facts as corroborated by
Gen. Lee s general order read next
evening, March rs, 1865, on dress
parade, and other orders and reports
of like date Of Gems. Gordon and
Grimes, now on file in the confed-
crate archives U. S. war department,
Washington, ID. C. General order
said: "The commanding general
takes pleasure in congratulating the
army on the distinguished intrepidity
and valor displayed by Capt. P. Fl.
Larey and his lieutenants. Flowers
and Davis, in leading Rodes division

THE GRAND LEADERS
 SPRING OPENING

The ouiutescence of all that's new, novel and exquisite is to be found in the well-known style store" and can be truly said would do credit to the larger city stores. The three show windows reflect the favored col or tones to be prominent in all spring gowns and millinery. One window IS draped i'll wisteria, shading from light to the deeper tones, the center figure being draped in an exquisite import ed wisteria silk suiting with deep borders in harmony with trimmings to match, and two French pattern wisteria hats complete the window The center window is carried out i'll green. This window shows the har- monies in green. On figure Is shown an imported foulard silk, with Vandyke borieur in white printingA The third window was carried out ils old rose shading, blending of light and dark shadings. The center figure
  sLantung silk, with satin side bands in seef shade. Two French pattern hats complete this window. Entering the store the gaze is bewildered. Spring, in all it's fascinating fresh ness and varied hues, is here prom inently displayed in the immense as sortment of dress fabrics and trim mings; fancy neckwear, belts, hand embroidered waists, beautiful art pieces, hosiery, gloves, etc.; in fact, the markets of the styiei world con- tribute in making up this grand dis play of fashionable apparel for mi lady's toilet. In the ready-to-wear department arc all styles of the new est spring gowns, in & varied assort- ment of exquisite models, many be- ing copies of imported gowns and dresses by the famous Drexall and Redfern; satins, silks, linens and zephyr weight woolens are the fav- ored dress fabrics employed in their manufacture. Every model is moi-- eled on the long, slender, hipless lines. Coats show every conceit em- ployed in detailing tinishings. Surely this house can meet any demand for made dresses. Next and most i'm portant to the heart of the ladies, are the hats. There was never displayed in this city more gorgeous array o1 beautiful French pattern hats. Not ably prominent are the "Fritzie Scheff,' tub fruit lingerie and others. Expressions of admira
 tion were heard on all sides. Int millinery room was ably presided over by Mrs. Campbell, assisted b. Miss Hopper and assistants. who wer'
 untiring in their efforts to serve tn
 ladies.

DREYFUS MAKES
 ANNUAL DISPLAY

The Dreyfus opening was we'll at tended and fully up to the expecta- tions of the management of Pine Bluffs greatest store. The manage ment of this store has used great judgment in the selection of the styles and shapes. They have, as far as possible, avoided the duplication of hats. so that their customers will not have similar headgear. The manage ment of the millinery department is in the charge of Miss Birdie Weller and an efficient corps of assistants, who take pleasure in waiting on those who wish to inspect or buy. The hats are beautiful and the various depart mcnt displays are in keeping with the usual up-to-dateness of this old, well established and progressive concern.

AT CRYSTAL PALACE.

It only shows what perseverance will do; it is an object lesson. The motto of the Crystal is to give the best and the public will soon find it out. The proof lies in the fact that a crowded house greeted the appea"- ance of the new faces at the Crystal The Aitkens Brothers. heralded as the star dancers of the Primrose and Dockstader's minstrels, made good the word of the advance notices. They are certainly dancers of the first quality. Both the boys are possessed of clear, resonant voices, and the song Baseball" sung by one of the broth CTS. was q big hit. The local sQuibs and their clever batter caught the large audience and the applause proved that the boys made a hit. Val Fernandes was in good voice and her Jndlan songs immediately won her a warn! spot in the hearts of the au- dience. The moving pictures this week are a bunch of hilarity. Doran and Loray, the comedy acrobats are very fine in their work and kept the audience laughing from start to hn- ish. The visitors to the Crystal say | they have the best show in town and Mir.
