The Strange Case Of Capt Crane.
1t will be recalled that Captain H.
N. Crane was in command of the III.
fated City OF Saltillo at the time it
was wrecked at Glen Park, Mo, on
the night of May II last. He was in
nowise responsible for the accident
to the steamer and consequent loss Of
life, and the local inspectors who
tried the cases against him and Pilot
'Pell accordingly exonerated him of all
plane. In simple justice this should
have ended the matter as far as Cap
tain Crane was concerned, but by
some strange process of reasoning,
or lack of reasoning, the local inspec
tors turned around and after having
declared him not guilty of wreckng
the boat or causing the loss of life
suspended his license for six months
for alleged inconsistency in his testi-
mony In the trial OF Pilot Pell. It
VIII be news to most people that this
is proper cause for suspension OF a
masters license, even If the accusa'
ton be true, which is denied. Acting
upon the advice of friends, Captain
Crane will seek legal advice in the
matter, and his multitude of we'll
wishers unite In the hope that he
will succeed in having his license
restored to him. He is an
old. experienced. capable and trust
worthy river man and every inch
gentleman, worthy OF the greatest
consideration, the utmost confidence
and the highest esteem. s. w. NJ.

The points of interest on the Ohio
river are Cairo, Mound City and Me.

/ Cairo and Paducah are progressive
and prosperous cities which are forg.
ING ahead as never before in their his

thrift are apparent on every side, and
nothing is hazarded in predicting that
the future has much in store for them.
Inc stretch OF river between them Is

lowed this route with his gun-boats in
1852 to assist General Grant in his
operations along the Tennessee river.

Fort Massac, one of the first outposts
established by the French in the Ohio
and Mississippi valleys. 1t commands
the Ohio river for several miles both
up and down stream and was most adj
vantageously located for the purpose
in view. 1t was unoccupied at the
time of George Rogers Clark's expe-
dition into the Illinois country, and he
took possession of it when on his way
to Kaskaskia. After he had accom-
plished his mission he returned to Fort
Massac and made 1t his headquarters
for some time. directing operations
from there. The site of the old fort
is now marked by handsome and
costly monument, erected last year by
the Illinois Chapters of the Daughters
of the American Revolution, in COM
memoration of the enterprise, courage
and sagacity of Clark and his brave
companions In arms.

The Battlefield Of Shiloh.


The richest point of interest on the
entire Tennessee river trip is, of
course. at Pittsburg Landing. or Shiloh
Battlefield. Here in the two days
fierce fighting 10000 men were killed,
wounded or taken prisoners. Among
the killed were five generals-Gen.
w. H. l.. Wallace, General Peabody,
and General Raith of the Union army,
and Gen. Albert Sydney Johnston and
General GLADDEN. of the Confederate
army. The places where these leaders
fell are marked by specially designed
mortuary monuments, composed of 20
pound Parrot guns and pyramids OF
cannon balls. The general headquar-
tiers Of Sherman, McClernand Hurl-
but, Prentiss and Wallace, and nine
brigade headquarters are marked by
similar pyramids. BY act Of congress
approved December 81, 1894, the bat.
tlefield of Shiloh, comprising about
1000 acres, was designated as Shiloh
National Military Park" The tract
has been improved with twenty-five
miles Of graveled roads and drives
along the exact lines of the roads ex-
listing at the time of the battle. There
have also been erected tablets. NOM.
ments, markers and signs to the nun.
Der of 651. These enable visitors TO
understand readily the more Important
events of the battle. In addition the
several states represented in the bat.
tie have erected costly and beautiful
monuments in commemoration of
their fallen heroes. Some of the can.
non used by the government to mark
the battery positions are the identical
ones that were used in the battle.
Especial objects and places OF In.
terest on the historic field are Shiloh
Spring. which still sends its cool, re-
freshing waters down the ravine: the
Hornets Nest" where the struggle
ragged most stubbornly, and Bloody
Pond whose waters were dyed
crimson with human blood. On the
occasion OF the writer's latest visit
to the spot the pond was dry.
On the picturesque bluff over.
looking the river at Pittsburg Land
ing is located the beautiful Shiloh
National cemetery, where about A.
600 of the Union dead are buried.
Early last spring the locality was
visited by a tornado, which leveled
some of the tombstones. These have
been restored to position but the

The discussion given to the subject
of cost OF living has directed more or
less attention 70 the federal oleomar-
garine tax and the price OF butter.
People who are in favor Of repeating
the present oleomargarine law have
taken advantage Of the situation Ia
loudly condemn as "undsmocratic ana
un American this "hurdensome tax
on a pure, wholesome and nutritious
food product
They conveniently forget that over
81 per cent of the oleomargarine put
upon the market is taxed at only one
fourth cent per pound. They do not
explain that olny that oleomargarine
that is artitcially colored is taxed at
ten cents per pound.
Even il il were all taxed a. ten cents
per pound il would have absolutely
nothing to do with the price of butter
after the latter reaches thirty cents a
pound retail. 1t costs about fourteen
cents a pound to produce the very best
grade of oleomargarine. Add to this
ten cent tax and the cost of production
would be twenty-four cents. The pro-
duct could be retailed at thirty cents at
handsome profit to the manufacturer
and retailer.
Looking at the question from any
view point it Is clearly seen that the
oleomargarine law has absolutely moth
ing to do with the price OF butter.
The dairy interests OF the country
are not enjoying any benefit through
oleomargarine legislation except as the
integrity.ot the industry is maintain
ed. In this every honest citizen should
feel keen interest. He should also
understand that the effort put forth by
the manufacturers OF oleomargarine to
secure legislation which will make II
easy for men to commit fraud in selling
oleomargarine is not inspired by love
for the "poor man who wants a cheap
substitute for butter
The whole proposition may be thus
summed up; oleomargarine is now
made to taste and smell something like
butter. The manufacturers and few
retail dealers want the privilege OF
putting it upon the market so that il
will look like butter. thus making il
easy to commit fraud.
Every good citizen should be intere..
ted in effective pure food Legislation
and the oleomargsrine law is just such
legislation-no more, no less.
