Staunton spectator and vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1896-1916, 1910-06-17

The late lamented Gen. John B.
Gordon commanded the troops engag
ed on that day.
Gen. Cor don, as yon all know, il
a carefully prepared address, spoken
by him in many places and widely
published, has stated his views in
regard to the Confederate soldier and
his cause.
His statement of facts, are now ac-
cepted as history, and his conclusions
adopted by criticism.
The statement, the illustration and
the comparison in my address, are
contained with almost literal eaxct-
ness in the address of Gen. Gordon
written more than twenty years af-
forwards.
1t is morally certain that Gen. Cor
don never saw my address and the
coincidence in the statements and il
lustration, are conducive of thei1
truth.

purpose Of this assocition, viz; the
vindication of the honor of the con-
federate sol 'ier, and Of the justice Of
his cause has been practically accom-
plished.
All that claimed for him in my

To you my old comrads, veterans Of

''To deck the turf that wraps their

corded the sa tisfaction Of witnessing
the entry Of judgment upon the YER
dict Of mankind that the typical con-
federate soldier was "a man without
fear and without reproach. - And also
the satisfaction of knowing that the
civilized world is now convinced that
our Poet, Father Ryan, was inspired,
not by mere poetic fancy, but by the
Of eternal truth when he
penned. The highest tribunafever
offered by genias, to courage and de-
votion, expressed in these beautiful
lines:

HIS WELCOME FOR PRooIGAL

Judge Ben B. Lindsey of the famous
Denver Juvenile court said In the
course Of q recent address In char

TOO many Of US are inclined to
think that. one misstep made. the boy
is gone for good. Too many Of u are
like the cowboy.
AN itinerant preacher preached to
a cowboy audience ON the 'Prodigal
Son. He described the foolish prodi-
gals extravaganza and dissipation: he
described his penury and his husk-
eating with the swine in the sly; he
described his return, his fathers low
ing welcome, the rejoicing, and the
preparation Of the fatted calf.
THE preacher in his discourse no
ticed 4 cowboy staring at him very
hard. He thought he had made con-
vert, and addressing the cowboy per
sonally. he said from the pulpit:

have done If you had had = prodisal

BIG STURGEON MADE FIGHT
Took Five Men . Few Hours' Time
to Land This 41oPound Fish
at Seattle.

Weight. 40 pounds. Length, II feet.
These are the dimensions of the big.
gest sturgeon which has been caught
in Puget sound within the last SIX
years. Living up to his reputation Of
never having let a fish get away from
him. Capt. Pete Bae, in command Of
the Chlopeck's new schooner Rover,
brought the big fish into port yester-
day morning.
1t was caught Thursday morning in
Deception pass. Captain Bae had to
fight for his reputation as q fisherman
before he landed the sturgeon. 1t took
five men to accomplish the feat, and
before the fish was on the deck two
of the I'VE had taken an icy bath and
third had been thrown to the floor
so violently that he retired from the
combat. His place was taken by the
cook of the Rover. who delivered q
telling blow on the fsh's nose with a
rolling pin. after which the task was
easy.
The sturgeon was found in the Chic
peck Fish company's trap when the
Rover crew began to raise the spill.
His tail was lassoed and nve men
tried to drag him on to flat-bottomed
scow. As soon as the sturgeon felt
himself being pulled out Of his ele-
ment he thrashed the ive men from
one end Of the boat to the other as
though We were the tail Of kite
in q 40-mile gale" was the way Cap
tain Bae expressed 1t.
A far As known the only bigger
sturgeon caught in Puget sound was
pulled in At the Lummi island trap
six years ago. 1t weighed $50 pounds
and measured IA feet.-Seattle Post

ISGETT|NG SHORTER
Another Week and Winners of
Big Prizes Will Be Made
Known
FINAL EFFORT MUST BE GREAT
inactivity of the Present Leaders
Makes Developments Look
Extremely Probable
FINAL EFFORT MUST BE GREAT

This time next week the results OF
The Herald $4,000 voting contest will
be known; the count will have been
made and the winners announced.
The contest department will use ev-
cry effort to have the coupt made
quickly as possible.
1t has been decided to close the con-
test promptly at the hour of Thurs
day evening, June 80, and the count
will be started Immediately after. The
ballot box which is to receive all votes
on the last day will be prepared by
candidates Wednesday evening. Can
didates will seal, tape and fasten the
box in any manner they choose, leaV-
ing only the vote slot open.
In this condition the box will be kept
in a convenient place in The Herald
business Office from early morning on
Thursday, June 80, until o'clock, when
1t will be turned over to the committee
of bankers who win act as judges.
All votes must go into the ballot box
on the last day The rule regarding
envelopes being mailed will he with
drawn, and nothing will count unless
il goes into the ballot box. And every.
thing, to count, must go into the box
before the hour Of o. When the tele-
graph office flashes in the hour of 5,
the ballot box will be turned over to
the judges, and no other vote can be
deposited.
Forgetting or overlooking votes will
be costly. NO mistakes of this kind
will be rectihed. once the ballot box
is in the hands of the judges, voting
is at an end. and the results will de-
pend entirely upon what has been done
before o'clock Thursday.
All candidates living at a distance
from Los Angeles should arrange to be
in this city to cast their votes in per-
son. All envelopes addressed to the
Ballot Box will be deposited unopened.
But it is not safe TO trust to the mails
or any delivery other than your own.
The first thing to do is to get as many
votes ready as possible, and then see
that they are cast correctly and in
plenty of time.
Candidates can render judges con-
siderable assistance by taking care in
depositing their votes. A list of the
subscribers, the various lengths of sub
scriptions and amounts, and the certi-
fled checks, postoflce or express money
order or United States currency to
cover the total amount should be in
closed in an envelope. This should be
sealed and dropped into the ballot box.
No one but the candidate himself will
know what the envelope contains.
Candidates will be in the dark about
all except their own final ballot. The
fairness of this is manifest
Now for a word about the present.

TOMORROW NIGHT BIC
NIGHT IN BAKERSFIELD
Famous Vaudeville HeadIinerS to
Appear in Show for
Mrs. Jackson

BAKERSFIELD, June 23.-Tomorrow
night looks like a big night in Bakers
field, for tomorrow evening marks the
first performance of the big two-night
vaudeville offering arranged in honor
of Mrs. Clara Jackson, who leads in
The Herald's $4,000 voting contest.
The bill, as arranged, is of the great
est promise, inasmuch as every one of
the eight acts has been selected from
the biggset hits in various large cities,
and an "all-headline" program is as
sured. Some of the acts were obtained
from the east through Los Angeles,
some from Los Angeles and some from
San Francisco. Matalita, for instance,
scored a tremendous success, once in
San Francisco and again in Los Ange-
les. Her Spanish dance is poem of
motion.
Another fine act will be that of John
d. Carroll, the famous English singing
comedian
A pretentious offering will be that of
the Bolero trio, who present I'm a Mu-
steal Studio"
Nattkemper, in impersonations, is a
certain hit. His work borders on the
marvellous.
one of the other sure hits is Addie
Davis, a dainty little soubrette, who
never fails to please.
Kingsbury and Garnett have an act
that always makes the most blase of
theatergoers sit up and take notice.
Clever singing and other acts will
round out a bill that should fill the
Bakersfield opera house the first night,
and bring out the S. r. o. sign on the
second evening.
Bakersfield is loyal town, and in
this case should be so, and tickets to
the coming show are being sold rapid
ly. Those who attend will not only
have the pleasure of having done a
duty, but will get many times their
moneys worth in good, snappy vaude-
Vile
Mrs. Jackson has scored a wonderful
record this far. and this show offers
Bakersfield an opportunity to show it's
appreciation and make her final sue
cess certain, and in doing this have two
evenings of good, clean fun.

In the past two days a Flanders
800" car has been stripped of its ex-
cess weight and made ready for the
play. 1t had been expected that one
of the local automobile editors would
make the trip in company with the
pilot, but the latter declined to accept
company.
The big captive balloon at Eighth
and Broadway was engaged for the
purpose of the flight and even with
its pulling capacity Of 1900 pounds it
was necessary to get the weight Of
the car down to minimum. When the
machine was ready for the trip it
weighed in at 12OO pounds. The car
carried a twenty-foot banner stream
