General Lyons Death.
The charge succeeded in dislodging
the foe and driving him back to the
next ravine, but Lyon fell with a bull
let in his left breast.
Nathaniel Lyon was perhaps the
most promising general developed on
the Union side during the first year of
the war. He was born in Connecticut

served with distinction in the Semi
mole and Mexican wars. was in the
early troubles in Kansas, where he
wrote vigorous articles for the news
papers, and at the beginning of the
civil war was assigned to Missouri,
where his career became one of in
creasing glory. 1t is not too much to
say that General Lyon held Missouri
in the Union and sealed the pact with
his blood His will left practically all
his property, $4,000. to the cause of
his country He died unmarried
The death of the general did not end
the battle. The chief command now
devolved on Major Sturgis, who knew
Lyons plans and continued the fight
on these lines For a half hour longer
the engagement continued. when the
Confederates once more gave way. 1t
was only a lull, however. Suddenly
they reappeared along the entire front
fo,, Grc+ finn I1oCaD nffQp-
tive assault from a battery. The fight
once more became general, the Confed
crates attempting to turn the Union
right flank and assaulting Totten's bat
terry at the center The Federal line
now stood like a wall of steel. Several
times the enemy charged forward al
most to the muzzles of the guns and
as often were driven back.
At last Major Sturgis decided that
he had too few troops to try to hold
the field and determined to retire to
Springfield and thence to Rolla. The
Confederates admit that they were
glad TO see him 60" Nor did they
attempt pursuit.
Losses On Both Sides Heavy.
The battle had IasCed till II O'Clock
and for the number of men engaged
and the length Of time consumed was
one Of the fercest in the history Of the
war. According to the Annual En-
cyclopedia Of that year. the losses were
as follows: Union. 223 killed 72l
wounded and 292 missing; Confeder-
ates. SIT killed, about 500 wounded and
80 missing. The battle of Nilson1
Creek was even bloodier than that of
Bull Run. for at Bull Run the Union
loss was only per cent of those en-
gagged, while at Wilson's Creek It was
10 per cent, and the Confederate loss
was 10 per cent at Bull Run and II
per cent at Wilson's Creek.

many of his three months men was
about to expire. Ten miles distant was
an opposing army outnumbering him
three to one. Between him and st.
Louis another Confederate army was
approaching to cut off retreat in that
direction. If he withdrew he stood
chance of encountering this second
army with his dwindling force and,
moreover, would discourage the Union
men throughout the state and leave
that part Of Missouri to the enemy.
If he waited in Springfield to be at
tackled he endangered his entire force,
as Springfield offered no natural adj
vantages for defense. There was but
one course left, and that was to move
out and attack the foe before the foe
moved in to attack Lyon
General Lyons plan was to make
the advance on the night Of Aug. s.
His men were footsore and tired, how
ever, and as new supplies were about
to arrive some of his officers prevailed
on him to defer the movement one day.
The delay was almost fatal, for the
Confederates intended to move on
Springfield the night of the 9th, but
were deferred by a threatened thunder
storm. The Union troops got under
way about 8 o'clock. There were only
5000 all told. and part of these were

Sigel's Division Routed.

Sigeps Division Routed.
The deception was caused by the
color of the uniforms, which were
nearly the same in portions of the two
armies. 1t was also stated by the
federais that the enemy carried a
Union flag until close enough to fire,
when they ran up their own colors.
Most of the authorities agree Ia this
statement, some Of them asserting that
this ruse was resorted to twice by the
Confederates that day. AS it was a
trick often practiced in border war
fare, it is credible. although the Con-
federate accounts of the battle do not
mention it. At any rate. this was the
turning point against SigeI. He now
sought TO withdraw. but nearly all of
his troops were ambuscaded and killed
or captured, Sigel himself narrowly es-
Gaping. He saved only one gun, his
cavalry, dragons and part Of his In

The sudden disaster to Sigel left the

Lyon This was about 10 o'clock in
the morning and shortly after Price
had been beaten back Fresh Confed-
crate troops now moved to the attack,
and Lyon ordered up the Second

which was partly concealed in the

THE COST ADVANCES.

II seems to be a natural economic
sequence that when winter ap-
proaches and people simply have to
have health-producing food, the prices
OF certain common commodities
such as meats. butter and eggs shoot
up skyward. The nearness Of the
holidays always takes out OF life what
little Joy and compensation there is
in IL for some people. They are
brought face to face then with their
oft times serious. something desperate
condition as far as livelihood Is con-
cerned. When the weather ia warm
and the requirements of the human
body are not so urgent, the cost OF
living never dfstresses them but when
the bosom OF the earth is MIXED dry
and the harvest time past these i'm
provident people are brought face to
face with their need. 1t seems to
them and there is excuse for the
seeming that the purveyors of the
commodities of life have conspired
against them. Prices advance, the
demand increases and the poor suffer
1t is particularly unfortunate that
this situation exists at this time OF
the year and we should do all hat we
possibly can to alleviate it.

EFFECT OF CIVIC PRIDE.

The market price of rs feet of
frontage in Glendale park is $4,000.
the same amount of Holman street
frontage is worth $500 to $4,000 In
Homewood 1t would be worth $1,000
to $4,000, on Calumet avenue, in the
residential section. from $500 to 81
200 and on the north side of from
the main streets from $500 to 5000.
So 1T will be seen that in different
sections of Hammond, all practically
the same distance from the business
district the cost OF IS feet of resi-
Dental property ranges from 5000 to
$500.
Thirty years ago all of these values
were equalized. The Glendale park
property could have been purchased
for less than the north side property.
1t is apparent that something has
taken place to make this south side
property manifestly more valuable in
the eyes OF the average purchaser
Otherwise values would not have
been created and maintained.
When William H. Gostlin and his
associates laid out Homewood and In
duced the city to purchase Harrison
Park they had advanced ideas OF
what residential community should
be. They induced most of the
original purchases of lots to buy "a
feet instead of 20 and SO as people
in Hammond had been In the habit
of buying.
Those who improved their property
were induced to stay back to a rea
sonable building line. A restriction
was made that no house could cos
less than 500. In those days Ham
mond was filled with basementles
five room cottages, built for invest
ment only at cost of $500 each an,
the builders of Homewood wante,
such houses excluded from the new
district.
