near the place of finishing so much
the better. One Of the most serious
problems in this regard is to obtain
cattle of good quality.
Those districts which are not es-

mixture OF varying degrees of worth
lessness that 1t is almost an impossi-
bility to obtain a fair grade of feed

Kansas City or other western markets
for feeders. A steer in fair flesh,
weighing 1000 to LOO pounds, and

servant was compelled to break the

strap from about his neck.

was tenderly borne into the house

mechanical massage was given, and
the physicians succeeded In bringing
Girard back 10 consciousness.

aged six years, the little son of Mr..

ment Commander Allan c. Bakewell
presiding, Senior Vice Department Com
mander William A. Boyd was unani-
mously indorsed for Department Com
mander."
AS the committee in charge of the
canvass of Comrade Gen. George b.
Loud in his candidacy for the Office of
Department Commander of the Depart
ment of New York, and designated by
the Delegates to the Encampment as
such, we desire to say that at meet
ing of Delegates representing SO Posts
of the Counties of New York, Queens
and Richmond Gnciuded in the city of
New York;, held on Saturday evening,
Feb. 6. that Comrade Gen. Geo. b.
Loud, Chairman of the Memorial Com
mittee. was unanimously indorsed for
Department Commander; that at this
meeting the Delegates of Lafayette
Post, 140, of which Senior Vice Depart
ment Commander Vim. A. Boyd is Com
mander, were present, and finding the
sentiment of the Delegates so strongly
against Commander Boyd's candidacy,
they alone withdrew from the meeting.
Sunday intervening, it is manifest
that any meeting of Delegates on Mon
day evening, Feb s, as claimed in the
article, was practically impossible, and
if, as claimed, any such meeting was
held. it was confined to the delegation
of Post 140, of which Past Commander
Allan c. Bakewell, who presided, is a
member.
The circulation of the item referred
to, and intended to mislead the COM
rades of the Department into the be-
lief that Commander Boyd is the unan-
imous choice of the Delegates of the
County of New York. has called forth
many inquiries as to its authenticity
and truthfulness. and we therefore take
occasion to assure our comrades of the
Department that 96 Delegates of the
County of New York, supplemented by
the united delegations of the Boroughs
of Queens and Richmond, will be pres
ent at the Department Encampment as
earnest supporters of that grand SOL

The Huntington. w. Va, Herald-Dis-

gel. who now lies buried in little
cemetery near Gallipolis, Ohio. Her
maiden name was Frances Elizabeth
Quinn, and she was born at Lemoine,
ILL.,, in 1874. Her brother having en-
listed, she was seized with patriotic en-
thusiasm and enlisted in the 18th
Ind. under the name of 3. +. Miller,
or Frank Miller. She took part in all
the fighting in which her regiment was
engaged, until at Chickamauga she was
severely wounded in the leg and cap
tured. She was taken to Atlanta, where
she was confined until Feb. II,
1854, when her sex was discovered and
she, with 81 others, was exchanged.
Her wound developed gangrene. She
was a long time in recovering, but
finally went home and afterwards set
tied in Harmar, Ohio. There she mar
ried Mathew Angel, who had served in
Aleshire's battery. The couple had two
daughters. who are now both happily
married, one of them to a Mr.. Dixon.

Resent Attack.

The Rev. DIR. Leon NJ. Powers, of the
First Universalist Church of Haver-
hill, Mass, has aroused the anger of
the veterans and friends of veterans
by a sermon recently delivered, in
which he attacked as human aeTe-
licts" the men who fill the Soldiers
Homes and who live on pensions. He
also attacked the men who are on the
firemen's pension list, and the women
who are on the school teachers pen
sion list. Maj. Howe Post passed reso-
lutions charging the reverend gentle
man with playing to the gallery and
with having made statements which
are misleading, if not actually untrue.
The veterans are also writing to the
papers in condemnation of the rever-
end gentleman's misstatement, and the
Rev. d. c. Bixby has entered into the
arena with a strong denial of Mr.. Pow
ers's charges.
