Colonel Morrison was an enthusiastic ad-
mirer and devoted adherent Of Samuel j.
Tnden. He put his whole heart into the
Tilden campaign Of 1876, and after the
election was a member Of the committee
appointed by the democratic which went
TO New Orleans TO watch the counting Of
the votes.
on the return Of the committee, Roger
O. Mills Of Texas, then a young member
OF the house. who had aggressively op-
posed the electoral commission and voted
against Il all the time, greeted Morrison
with the wall: Great heavens, Morrison,
II you had only been here the electoral
commission would never have been born. A."
The electoral commission was to all in
tents and purposes, the work OF Samuel J..
Randall and Abram s. Hewitt. and Nor
rison never had anything to do with its
formation. never approved Of it and was
scarcely disappointed at its findings.
But during his absence In New Orleans
Omaha daily bee., 1909-10-01

Prominence as q campaigner resulted in
his election to the legislature in 1854, and
reelection for two following sessions. AS
soon as the news of the battle at Bull
Run reached southern Illinois it became
clear that there was to be a war in reality
and that men must take sides without fur
Their parley. II was no longer sentiment.
Many Of the principal men in southern iii
nois were Of Virginian ancestry, and with
these Morrison's political and personal re-
lations were always close. But sentiment,
even friendship, had to be abandoned. 1t
was a war for home and peace, and Nor
rison at once rendered his services to Gov
ernor Yates of Illinois. He was commits
stoned and under that authority and prin-
cipally at his own expense, raised the
regiment afterwards known as the Forty
ninth Illinois volunteers.
The story of his desperate charges at
Donelson against a position impregnable
with the insignificant force at hand, is a
matter Of history, as is his being left for
dead upon the field. His obituary appeared
in the dispatches of the day. The long,
dreary journey of Mrs. Morrison to the
front, where she nursed him back to
strength sufficient to get him home, is a
touching part OF the story.
While he was still on crutches came the
dreadful news Of Shiloh, and, still on
crutches, he hurried to rejoin his COM
rades in the weary investment and siege of
Corinth. While at the front and not yet
entirely recovered he received notice of
his nomination for congress, which anne,
however, apparently handicapped with a
platform deprecating the civil contest, If
not advocating the abandonment of the
struggle.
Across the drumhead at his tent he in
dorsed It thus: Gentlemen, interpreting
your platform to mean a vigorous prosecu-
ton of the war to final success, I accept"
He took no part in the political cam
paign. He remained with his regiment
and discharged his military duties until
the news Of his election to congres reached
him, when he resigned to take a place in
the council of the nation. On his resigna-
ton General Grant Endorsed, He is one
of our best officers"
His first term In congress was without
much incident. He supported the union
cause in congress, as he did on the field
of battle, earnestly, aggressively and intel
ligently.

INTERESTING BOOK
ABOUT OVERLAND TRAIL

In the early days when the gold seek
ers fiocked TO San Francisco across
the lsthmus, around the Horn or
across the Old wagon trial leading
from the Missouri To the Golden Gate.
IL is said that a Dutch landlord In
San Francisco greeted his guests with
the query: did you come the Horn
around, the lsthmus across or the
land over?@
Through some such distinction from
the water ways. the Overland Trial
came by its name. and today the rail
road that succeeded IL is known every
where as the Overland Route.
The story of this picturesque old
trans-continental highway, 1000 miles
In length. from the day when the
pioneer of old threaded his way
through the wilderness down 10 the
driving OF the golden spike which COM
pleted Americas first overland rail
road. has been sketched in book Is
sued BY the Union Pacific and South
ern Pacific passenger departments.
The Overland Route To the Road Of
a Thousand Wonders" IL IS called. Pro
fusely illustrated. IL tells how adven-
turers. hardy pioneers. gold-seekers
and Mormons on their way To the land
of promise. all travelled this road. and
how later the pony express and the
Overland stage made their long and
hazardous journeys over the trail now
covered by train in SO hours.
Aside from the romance OF the old
trails story. many interesting features
are brought out In relation OF how the
first Overland railroad was built. II
