stanton In HIS ONCE.

when the three of us presented our
selves at Mr.. Stanton's Office we found him
very busy writing kilograms and sending
messages. He looked up and said: Gentle
men / win see you in a few moments.
After finishing some messages he turned
and inquired: What can 1 do for you,
gentlemenY Mr.. Lincoln said: Mr..
Stanton, l arr informed by Gov. Yates
and his Secretary that Col. L, of the
1O6th ILL.,, is very low in a hospital at
Nashville, and his friends are very anxious
that he be sent home Mr.. Stanton turn
ed and said: Mr.: President, you know
that if you violate that strict order of this
Department in one case you will have to
do it in others, and it will be more or less
demoralizing to the officers in the army.
Mr.. Lincoln replied: Il know that is
true to some extent. Mr.. Stanton, but in
this case 1 know Col L personally.
1 never thot he was physically able to go
into the army. He went from town in
Illinois named after me, and l feel like
saving his life if possible. Please issue
an order ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Col. Il
and let the order he wired to the hospital
Mr.. Stanton turned around and in a most
emphatic manner inquired: is this the or
der of the President of the United
States?' Mr.. Lincoln mildly replied !:
Mr. Stanton, in this case it is Mr..
Stanton then said: THE order will be is
Il
this Office this afternoon if you gentle
men from Illinois will call for it, We
then bid Mr.. Stanton good day, and as we
were walking from the War Department
over to the White House Mr.. Lincoln put
his hand on Gov Yates's shoulder and
said: Dick, from Stanton's actions, l
sometimes make up my mind that haven't
got much influence with this Administra-
ton. after ALL
"We walked over to the White House,
and with a few parting words Mr.. Lin
coin said: Boys, wish l could go back
with you to Springfield. but I guess I've
got to stay here and fight it out At that
we bade him good-by. and that is the last
time ever saw President Lincoln
"We returned to Illinois, and at the next
Yates was elected United States Senator
and Gov. Oglesby was inaugurated:
Shortly after that Gov. Oglesby was called
to Washington to attend a court-martial
and was in Washington at the time Presi-
dent Lincoln was assassinated. l was APP
pointed member of Gov. Oglesby's staff,
and myself and wife were staying at the
Executive Mansion when the news of the
assassination came from Washington.
Gov. Oglesby directed the arrangements
for the funeral at Springfield, with the
help of all the heartbroken people of that
city, and he accompanied the remains from
Washington to Springfield.
'History has long since told of that men,
orable occasion when the great men Of the
Nation were present and among that num-
ber no more sincere mOurners than some
of Illinoiss greatest men, Yates, Oglesby.

and others of equal worth, too numerous

White House. Among other of the nu-
merous matters that the Governor de-
sired to lay before the President was a
question of obtaining leave of absence or
a discharge for disability for Col. l.
of the 106th Ill. Secretary Stanton,
whom all old soldiers will remember, was
very rigid disciplinarian. He had is
sued an oroer lat this critical time of the
war; that no officer should be granted any
leave of absence or be absent from his
command for any cause whatever.
II presented the case to the President
stating that Col. L was very low in a
hospital, think, at Nashville, and unless
he could be sent home the chances were
ing this statement the President turned
to us and said: L don't know what I can
do. You know Stanton, and you know
how hard it is to induce him to change his
general ORDERS The President then in
quired: N case Col. l. returns home,
who will be promoted Colonel? That
was answered by saying the Lieutenant
Colonel could be promoted.
'He then asked who would be Lieuten-
ant-Colonel? and the reply was: Maj.

times and then said: who is hep I re-
piled: why, Mr.. Lincoln, you ought to
know him; he came from out near Peters
burg He studied a moment and said !:
oh, yes, know him; do you know him ?
The reply was Yes (The Major had
very forid complexion and a very
freckled face.) And Mr.. Lincoln said ::

was something equally as good; at any

His friends heard that the President
had thus honored the retiring .Secre-

called on him, and found him busy
signing letters. How about that EN-

friends.

IT rs CREATING
MUCH EXCITEMENT
SCORES OF PEOPLE ARE PRAls-
ING 1T TO THE SKIES.

The following article recently ap-
peared in the Davenport Times: 1.-THE
reporter has heard several Of the lead
ing doctors of our city say that Root
Juice Is certainly a great medicine, as
number of their patients after using
it a short while for chronic stomach,
liver and kidney troubles were rapidly
improving. One predetermined doctor
was heard to say in the presence Of a
number of people that he prescribed it
to his wife for a chronic liver trouble
and from short use Of it is simply as
tonishing. The remedy is doing so
much good there in Davenport that it
is the common talk of the city. Peo-
pie from every walk of life are prais-
ing 1t, and as a consequence the de-
mand for the Juice is so great that it
is hard to keep it in stock. The extra
ordinary merits Of Root Juice have
been proved by the experience of home
people whose word can not be doubted.
Those who have investigated have
found every statement made in this
paper in relation to the remedy as true
as gospel! Scores of people are calling
at the drug store daily, and praising
the great remedy to the skies for the
wonderful good it is doing for them
selves, or some member of the family.
Mr.. T.. Monroe, who is we'll known
here. said he has spent over four hun
dred dollars for medicine and treat
ment for his stomach trouble of long
standing without benefit until he
started to take Root Juice, but that one
bottle made such a change in his con-
ditiop for the better that even his
friends were noticing it. Mr.. Jesse
Bennett said: Both my boy and self
were badly afflicted with rheumatism
when we commenced to take Root
Juice. in fact, ] was unable to get out
of bed, but after using it while we
are now entirely relieved. I am now
able to get around and attend to my
work without a particle Of soreness or
pain, aud my boy no longer complains;
the for US" The Root Juice people
have hundreds of testimonials from
we'll known people all over the state.
The remedy is beginning to create
much talk here In tMarshalltown as sew
eral that have been using it few days
are praising it very highly.

AN OLD TIMER
Has Had Experiences.

A woman who has used Postum since
it came upon the market knows from
experience the wisdom Of using Pos
tum in place of coffee If one values
health and a clear brain. She says:
"At the time Postum was first put on
the market I was suffering from ner-
vous dyspepsia, and my physician had
repeatedly told me not to use tea or
coffee. Finally 1 decided to take his
advice and try Postum. got a pack
age and had it carefully prepared find
ing it delicious to the taste. SO con-
tinued its use and very soon it's bene-
fetal effects convinced me of its value,
for got we'll of my nervousness and
dyspepsia.
my husband had been drinking cof-
fee all his life until 1t had affected his
nerves terribly. and persuaded him to
shift to Postum. 1t was easy to get
him to make the change, for the Pos
tum is so delicious. It certainly worked
wonders for him.
1--WE soon learned that Postum does
not exhilarate or depress and does not
stimulate, but steadily and honestly
strengthens the nerves and the stom-
ach.
| ITO make long story short, our en-
tire family continued to use Postum
with satisfying results, as shown in
our fine condition Of health, and we
have noticed a rather unexpected i'm
provement in brain and nerve power"
