1t was fight to the death from start

both sides I'VE found some of our men
dead on the prairie the next day, who
hau been captured and killed by the
rebels, no doubt, because they were
wounded and not able to keep up with
them on the retreat.
The battle was fought under COM
mand of Maj. Zagonyi, about mile
west of Springfield, Mo-, on the after
noon of Oct. 25, 1861. The credit for
the great victory over such overwhelm-
ing numbers was largely due to persist
ent efforts of Maj. Zagonyi, who was a
noted fighter, as well as to the bravery
of all the officers and men of the com
pany. Every man did his duty to the
utmost.

That OK Found at Last.

r. Z. briggs, 18th Ohio, Marietta, o.,
writes that 45 years ago, Aug. 16, he
and two of his comrades tied an OK to a
tree on the side of Waldron's Ridge
before butchering him, and went to get
some salt. A man by the name of
Wheeler appeared about that time, and
made an important change in the plans.
SO that they left the OK tied to the tree.
The animal belonged TO a man named
Thompson, who was in Hoods army.
Two years ago Comrade briggs had a
notice IN The National Tribune in re-
gard to the OK, and at last he has heard
from him. A comrade who belonged to
the 18th Ohio, and therefore is a man
who could not tell a lie, says that he
went out to Waldron's Ridge on a re-
cent visit TO Chattanooga and succeeded
in finding the tree to which the OK was
tied, which had grown so high that the
ox's tail only touched the ground, and,
owing to the pure mountain air of that
region, the OK had been turned into the
very finest dried beef.

The Atlanta Campa,rn.

Robert Jones, East Hillsdale, Mich,
read the Atlanta campaign with alb
sorbing interest, but he thinks that the
Twentieth and Twenty-third Corps were
put little too much to the front to the
forgetfulness of the others. He cannot
understand, if they did so much, why 1t
was necessary for the rest of the army
to go along. He wants it understood
that-the Fourteenth Corps was all the
time on the front line, quite up with the
Twentieth and Twenty-third Corps, and
that his regiment, the 38th Ohio, was
all the time in the neighborhood. The
regiment went out in 1861 and came
back in 1866, which is sufficient TO say
for il.

THE FREMONT BODYGUARD.
Maj, Zagonyi's Great Charge at Spring
field, Mo.

One hot morning in Cincinnati-lt
was Aug. 20, 1S61-word was passed
around that Gen. Fremont, whose head
quarters were in ST. Louis, wanted 10O
mounted picked men for his bodyguard
Before noon of that day the company

rope 1 got in the hall from the rear

of the Regular Army. We had few
hours to spare before train time, and
were told to go home and tell our sweet
hearts good-by. We did, and We're on
for st. Louis that evening, where we
arrived next day and went into camp
on a vacant lot at the corner OF 10Th
and Hickory streets, and began our
lives as soldiers. At this time st. LOUIS
was rebel to the backbone; rebel hags
I. ffoated everywhere from public and prl-
vate buildings; rebel mobs marched thru
the streets night and day. Jeers ana
sneerss and insults were hurled at us as
we marched thru the streets. Gen.
Fremonf's headquarters were then at
his residence on Chouteau avenue, and
had been many times threatened by
street ,mobs and rioters. These We're
the reasons why, a guard was wanted.
We We're on duty day and night at, head
quarters; while these threats were going
on, but they never came near enough

Garernment Rations.

When we first went into camp the
Government rations were not at all at
trac1ive, but after a. ittfesztisne we
thought dish e potatoes, hardtack,
and salt pork fried up together were
fine enough for a King. In three weeks
the General had got his army together
and was ready to move, but before we
started he fired gun as loud as that
at Sumter; he issued an order liberating
all the slaves in Missouri or in his de-
partment. 1t caused great consterna-
ton in the rebel ranks, both in st. Louis
and everywhere else. The line was
strictly drawn, and all rebels took to
their heels and got out of our lines as
quickly as, possible. 1t was surprising
to see the magic change in the people
at St Louis. Union flags fioated from
public and private buildings every
where. Just as had the rebel flags from
the same. The change in sentiment so
strongly expressed was most remark
able Missouri has been a Free State
from that day to this. But the Govern
ment at Washington was not ready for
a step so radical at this time; the Bor-
der States were still undecided whether
to stay-in or go out; the Government
was most anxious not to take any step
that would give them an excuse to go
out of the Union. 1t even refrained for
a time to send troops across their bor-
ders that they might remain neutral,
but Cen Grant settled that question
promptly when he captured Paducah
and later marched on Donelson. They
stayed in.
Gen. Fremont was severely censured
from Washington for going outside OF
his strict military orders He was al
lowed to go on with his campaign, but
1t was the cause of his downfall in the

Twenty-four hours from the time they
left camp third of them lay dead on

and only nine men were able for duty
the next morning. Twenty-four saddles
Were emptied in the first charge down
the line. Five more charges We're made
in the open up hill and into the edge
of some woods before the enemy was
defeated and driven away. The fight
went on. Thus the air was full of smoke
and dust, the sun went down, night
came. The bugier's mouthpiece was shot
away, so no orders could be given. The

The Presidents Southern and Western
Tour.

built to be proof against political and
local factionists, it ought to be the one
Secretary Carpenter is just completing
in the Executive Offices at Beverly. The
President plans that his long trip thru
the West and South shall comport with
the dignity of his office. He will not hesi-
tate to emphasize his convictions upon
issues that rightly concern the country,
but he travels virtually as the guest of
all the people, for mis- journey will be
at Government expense. and he does
not want it turned to the advantage of
groups of leaders striving for party
mastery
Some are saying that his caution is
due to ambition for second term. That
may be in some part. All Presidents,
of recent years at least, have sought a
second term, and have trimmed their
sails accordingly. 1t is improbable that
President Taft should not be looking
forward occasionally to 1912, particu-
larry when he is taking long journey
that will bring him closer acquaint-
ance with the sovereign voters who
make and unmake Presidents. His
course ever since he entered the White
House has been one of pacification for
the hostile elements in his own party.
He will not be forgetful sof this as he
travels thru many States where the old
line Republicans and the more radical
of the party organization.
Therefore it is that the itinerary has
been prepared and scrutinized with ex-
ceptional care. Every minute of the
Presidents time is accounted for in the
scores of cities he will visit. The op-
portunities for ambitious citizens to pull
the President away to private resi-
dence or to some meeting of local ad-
herents have been reduced to mini
mum. Every local program of visiting
and speaking has been vised by Sec
retary Carpenter, after consultation with
people familiar with the local situation.
There may be an occasional contre-
temps in q schedule covering 60 days,
but it will not be for lack of caution at
the Summer Capital.
President Taft's experiences in the
last campaign may have prompted him
to unusual care in this particular. In
the rush and hurry of political con-
test he frequently found that he was
being unconsciously made a factor in
local politics. There were many occa-
sions when he had an hour or two on
his hands. Naturally there was much
aggression in invitations and appeals.
Quite as much from good luck as on ac-
count of any foresight on the part of
State leaders who had his campaigning
in charge, Mr.. Taft escaped serious en-
barraSSment

FOR AN ALL-BLACK COSTUME
Always Well to Have One for Genuine
Service, and Here Is spIen-
did Model.

There is quite a return to the once
popular fashion of having black frock
for genuine service. Every woman,
even with an elaborate wardrobe,
knows there are some hours when
everything seems to be in need of
cleaning or mending.
For just such occasions she has a
smart one-piece frock of black hang
ing in the closet. 1t is made of fine
SILK wolfe, for there has been found
no better fabric for this purpose. It
fits the figure, has an added belt of
patent leather run through slides of
Watered silk, and is fastened down
the back with hooks and eyes.
The skirt clears the groun by two
inches and has hem of black wa.
tered silk. The sleeves are elbow
or three-Quarter length. Each woman
is in go-as-you-please race concern
ing sleeves, and knows she is in the
fashion as long as she keeps them
small.
The top of this frock is laid in
small folds from shoulder to belt. has
round yoke of black chiffon cloth
covered with silk soutache brafding
in Egyptian design and a shallow up.
per yoke of that heavy Venetian lace
that wears so well.
This lace is repeated in a narrow
pear-shaped armhole that runs half.
way to the waist, and the black sleeves
have wide band of it around the
middle.

hat and patent leather shoes, anv wom-
an is smartly frocked.
