With all the traffic that Crown Point
has done with the railroads in the past,
it has been well nigh impossible to
get concessions from the roads in the
way of better time service or extra
trains, and the advent of street car
service is looked forward to keenly by
those who do lots Of travelling and it
is expected that the roads Will be a
little more anxious to meet the just
demands Of the people, with another
formidable competitor IN the field.

Scarcity of Teachers.

County Superintendent HIGHWAY re-
ports a decided scarcity of young men
teachers in Lake county and says that
special Inducements will probably have
to be offered to fill the already de-
pletsd ranks. Owing to the resignation
of Ernie Gregg. who leaves soon for
Kansas, the Heick school, east of town,
was leet without an instructor until
thetva1ancy could be supplied, a young
man by the name Of Harry Guerther of
Fulton county accepting the position.
WnEBFs the ratio of male teachers with
fenge used to be about six to ten, it
is now hardly two out of ten, and for
some unaccountable reason is still de-
creasing.

Assumed Rank.

Jos. S. Miller. Co. II, 5th Ohio, Mi
IAN, Md, writes: "I want to say No
to the great abuse of military titles
using the titles of officers of rank,
marching and strutting around as Ma
jor or Colonel or General-stolen dig
nifty. Titles of rank, responsibility,
ability, honor, assumed mostly, it is
true. by men whose term of service was
short. imposing no hardship and quite
without risk of bullets. 1 think the G..
A. r. should see that this is done away
with; that no man be permitted to
adopt for himself title to a rank that
was not his, and that no comrade ap-
ply to any one title of rank not at
tained by the person referred to or ad-
dressed. 1t is an abuse and should be
stopped. 1t is the short-term men who
hinder the Sherwood bill. It gives them
nothing, and they do not want to see
those who served two, three and four
years at the front get what they de-
serve. The short-term men got the Nc
Cumber bill for their own benefit, and
are not satisfied; they do not want to
see those who saw service at the front
get anything. They should keep off and
let the Sherwood bill pass"

Brig..Gcn. Harden.

Comrade E. S. Miner, 1st Wis. Cav,
Bethany. Mo-, sends us an account of
the experience of Capt. Henry Harden,
at Burnt Hickory, Ga.
Capt. Harden was afterward promot-
ed to Lieutenant-ColOnel of the Ist Wis
Cav, and brevetted Brigadier- General
for the capture of jeff Davis. A Con-
federate battery had opened in front,
and Capt. Harden, then the ranking Off
Ger of the regiment, was ordered to
charge, and did so. rushing down a
road so narrow that only two men
could ride abreast At the foot of the
descent they came against a line OF
infantry, which poured in voIley upon
them. The LIST Wis. then charged the
line and broke it, but ran up against
a mass of Confederate cavalry. Until
the 1st Wis. boys revolvers were emp
tied they managed to stand off the cav
airy fairly well. but presently the ene-
my closed in upon them Many of the
boys were killed, fighting to the last,
and still greater number received ter
rible wounds. Capt. Harden attacked
Col. Avery, OF the 4th Ga. Cav, and
wounded him so that he was never fiji
for service afterward. Harden himself
was shot thru the shoulder and his
horse killed. The rest of the regiment
came up rapidly as possible, and drove
the enemy away for the time being and
secured the wounded. The enemy then
returned to the charge and drove the
regiment back.
