LEE AT IMPORTATION.

One of the Most Notable Scenes lN
 the History of the War.
 Men who saw the defeated general when he came forth from the chamber where he had signed the articles of exploitation say that he paused mo- ment as his eyes rested once more on the Virginia hills, smote his hands to- gether as though in some excess of inward ngony. then mounted his gray horse. Traveller. and rode calmly away. If that was the very Gethsemane of his trials, yet he must have had then one moment of supreme. If chas- tened, joy. As he rode quietly down the lane leading from the scene. Of exploitation he passed into view of his men--of such. as remained of them. The news of the surrender had got abroad and they were waiting, grief stricken and dejected, upon the hill sides when they caught sight of their old commander on the gray horse. Then occurred one of the most notable scenes in the history of the war. in an instant they were about him, bare headed. with tear wet faces, thronging him, kissing his hand, his boots. his saddle; weeping, cheering him amid their tears, shouting his name to the very skies. He said: "Men, we have fought through the war together. l have done my best for you. My heart is too full to say more."-From Rob ert F. Lee. the Southerner."

NoHands or Feel,
 But Is Successful
 Railroad Builde,

TACOMA, Wash, March 26.-The loss of both hands and feet, while a
 serious handicap in the life race, does
 not necessarily put a man out of the running. This has been shown by Dav-
 id Matheson of Tacoma, who recently
 completed grading contract for the
 Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway company. The work was done in the
 western foothills of the Cascade noun tains, where immense quantities of rock
 had to be dislodged by powder blast, and then carried away to fill in the ra- vines between the hills.
 As soon as the necessary papers were signed the contractor went out to the hills to oversee the work of cutting
 roads and establishing camps. From the time the work was started until
 it was formally accepted by the com
 pany, two and one-haf years later, ev-
 erything was done under his personal supervision. It was plain to all that the black gloved hands worn by MT. Matheson were artificial, but few who did not know his misfortune, could be-
 lieye hat he was getting around over
 the rough ground and through tangled ! timber on feet that were made to order. Matheson is native of Canada and
 comes of railroad building family. He came to the United States a number of years ago and took an active part in
 railroad building west of the Mississ- | ippi river. When the rush for the Klon- dyke started, he decided to try his for tune in the north He was in g storm
 and when found his feet and hands
 were so badly frozen that amputation
 was necessary. As soon as he was dis
 charged from the hospital he obtained
 place as foreman of construction on
 the Tacoma-Seattle interurban line,
 holding the position until he secured the big railroad contract.

PRISONER ESCAPES AFTER
 HANDCUFFING HIS GUARDS
Prisoner Plays Mean Trick on Dcpu- tics Who Have Him in Charge
 in Tennessee

BRISTOL, Tenn, March 26.--Thc next time two Virginia deputy sheriffs catch D. II. Meade they arc not going to take even a nap until they have this gentleman back home in the Scott coun- ty jail, where he is wanted badly. But they don't know exactly when they will get another chance to stay awake. The officers experienced considerable difficulty in getting line on Mir. Meade but finally located him out in Oregon. They followed the old "forty-four forty or fight" trail, took their quarry into custody, and proceeded to follow it
 back, journeying through Tennessee, probably out of deference to the late James Polk, who blazed the famous trail.
 | They knew the honorable MT. Meade was nimble blade, and they kept their eyes open until they reached this town.
 Also, as further tribute to Mir.
 Meade's activity and all-round capac- ity for looking out for No. they had
 him all wrapped up in chains, and they
 had the chains locked to them. Mir. Meade played them a mean trick.
 After having been up day and night for week or so, with only doze now and then in the non-restful atmosphere of the smoker, they besought themselves some real sleep, going to the hotel and
 retiring three in bed, with the clever Mir. Meade in the middle.
 One of the officials hung his trousers on the bedpost right above the prisoner, and he inconsiderately reached up, swiped the key to the handcuffs from
 the pocket, and calmly tore himself loose.
 Thereupon he deftly bound the law
 guardians in their own chains, stuffed
 pieces of the bed quilt in their mouths,
 abstracted their wallets, pistols and
 watches from their garments, and, rais-
 ing window, departed for green fields and pastures new.

 'Oh, look at zhe moonsh.r
 The other seriously contradicted him saying:

 This started an argument, which lasted for several minutes, as to wheth. CT the globe was tAe moon or the sun. Finally they decided to leave it to the first passerby. who happened to be an other happy" gentleman They stop ped him and, pointing to the globe, asked
 Settle an argument, old pal Is that the moon or the suI?'

Stifr neck is caused by rheumatism of the muscles of the neck. It is usually confined to one side, or the back of the neck and one side. While it is often quite painful, quick relief may be had by applying Chamberlain's Lini- ment. Not one case of rheumatism in ten requires internal treatment.

NIGH BEER UP AGAIN TONIGHT
RESOLUTIONS of the Mass Meeting on
the Subject of the Sale of Suds
Will Be Presented to Council.

VIII he PRESENTED to Council,
The city fathers will meet in reg
ular and solemn concIave tonight
and consider various matters per-
tanning to the welfare of the town,
the most important of which, in the
opinion of some, is whether their
former action in licensing the sale
OF near beer shall be permitted to
stand.
The resolutions adopted at a re-
cent meeting of men, women and
children at the court house, demand
ing the repeal of the ordinance au-
thorizing the sale of the cold and
foamy suds, will be formally present
ed for the cogitation of the solons,
and will no doubt be disposed of and
the matter definitely settled.
1t is the general belief that the
council, which fixed the near beer
license at 500 by a two-thirds vote,
Will decline to recede from it's form
er action and revoke the licenses
that have been issued.
There are two berries in opera
ton in the city, and it is very likely
that they will wash the dust from
thirsty Threats for the next twelve
months at least.
