SOME long-haired, dusty book

a woman for family duties. He may
be familiar with every line OF Jo-

rates and the other chaps we meet
between the time-worn backs of an
cient volumes but when 1t comes
to Her Majesty, Woman, she is as

and carries the flowers sent by the

of graduation? Well, she takes the
posies from the usher as If 1t were a
small newly-born mite and carries
the same from the footlights to the
semi.darkened wings in the most ap

Mothers Congress. Not fit for the
home. It's golf balls to boarding
school biscuits he will make as
good a mother as any other woman

100000 MAY BEU.P. HAUL
OF BANDITS-NO CAPTURES

Omaha, Neb., May 2S.-The
answers of the postal officials to the
query as TO how much money was
obtained by the bandits who held up
and robbed the Overland Limited
train on the Union Pacific at this
place last night give the impression
that the amount obtained by the four
masked men is between 100000 and
100000 and that it will be close to
the latter figure.
Seven pouches of mail were tax
en- from the mail car and the value
of the contents ofthese pouches va
ries. The reticence of the postal Of
ficials and the quick action of the
railroad company in offering a re-
ward of $4,000 each for the capture
of the robbers, dead or alive, has
created the impression in police cir
cles here that the amount stolen is
very large.
The officials say the pouches must
have contained a large sum of cur
rency, being shipped East. This belief
is strengthened by the demand of
one of the robbers that he be shown
the bank mall when two of them
entered the mail car and thrust re-
volvers at the clerks.

This is a new preparation and a
good one. 1t is especially valuable as
a cure for chronic and muscular rheu
matism. and for the relief from
pain which, it affords in acute inflam.
matory rheumatism. Those who
have used It have invariably spoken of
it in the highest terms of praise. Lame
back, lame shoulder and stiff neck
are due to rheumatism of the muscles
usually brought on by exposure to
cold or damp, and are quickly cured
by applying this liniment freely and
massaging the affected parts. Sore
ness of the muscles, whether induced
by violent exercise or injury, is al
layed by this liniment. For sale by

MEXICO EX-CONFEDERATE
SOLDIER TELLSOF BATTLE
Editor Ledger

Editor Ledger
We notice in yesterdays Republic
that President Taft was present at
, the unveiling of a tablet erected at
Fort stedman, and later in the day
+, delivered an address at Fort Ma
i hone; the latter fort is OH the
mound, south Of Peters and remem-
, bered as the fort under which Gen.
Grant sprang the mine that destroy
ed Confederate battery, and buried
many men who belonged to the 18th
and 22nd S. Carolina troops. These
two regiments lay on either side of
this fort, and suffered most as the
result of this blow-up. But the OBJ
! 1ect of this little sketch was to speak
of the history as relates to Ft. Sted-
man. This Fort is situated on an
elevated ridge east and little south
of Blanford, a little suburban ham
let, east of Peeters.
This Fort was situated on the ad-
vanced line of the federal breast
works, south of the Appamattox Riv-
er, and not over two hundred yards in
front of the Confederate lines of de-
fense. This Fort was strongly guard
ed by 700 soldiers, with pieces Of ar
tillery and mortar guns. Yet
in the face of this superior force,
and the other difficulties. such as
stockades and defenses, and the
posted picket between the lines, Gen.
Ransom commanding division, ordered
this scribe and Lieut.. Breach, with
one hundred picked men from Ran
SONS Brigade of the N. c., troops,
to advance against them,
and, in justice to these brave men,
not one of them faltered in the face
of this hazardous task. On the 25th
day of March, 1865, in the gray Of
the morning, we captured that Fort
and secured over 700 prisoners, with
the General, and marched them into
F, the Confederate lines under guard.
Gen. Ransom pushed his division
into the breach, made by the cap
ture of the Fort, and long line Of
Federal breast-works. Then a most
unequal contest ragged from the gray
of the morning until 10 O'Clock. Gen.
fotl 20 10
Ransom and take the Fort next the
river that turned it's batteries on the
Confederates left flank. Ransom had
no other alternate, but to retreat and
leave the Federals to re-occupy their
fort and defenses. This scribe, Lieut..
Burch and most of the detail that had
achieved such victory in the gray of
| the morning were all taken prison
er, wounded or killed 1t has been
problem inexplicable why this at
| tack was made with SO small chance
for good permanent results. This was
the last fight that Lee made in de-
fense of his lines, in front of Peeters.
The slightly wounded, with the 9TH
er prisoners, were taken to the old
Capitol prison at Washington, D. c.,
and after five days were removed
to Fort Delaware, and were there
when Lincoln was killed and Lee sur
rendered,
Most respectfully,
