Joliet, ILL.,, July 27.-"The sun
shines for ALL" is a proverb which
has never applied to the convicts
housed in the old yellow stone struc-
ture of the Illinois State Penitentiary,
next to Sing Sing, the most populous
prison In America. This Is to be
changed in the model prison soon to
be erected here to replace the pres
ent overcrowded and unsanitary edi'
flee. Instead of steel cages, dark and
damp and dismal, with no outside
windows and with gloomy corridor
between the cells and the outer wall
every guest" is to be given room
with window after the manner oi
the best hotels. All of the sanitary
and humanitarian features of the va
rious model prisons of Europe have
Pbeen embodied in the plans by W. G

GEN. GRANT AT COLD HARBoR
Cen. Lees Victory Added Fresh Lau- reIs to Southern Leaders Brow
 and Gave New Hope.

General Grant and his legions of the Second, Fifth, Sixth and Ninth corps and a portion of Sheridan's cavalry, after having literally tramped through blood in the Wilderness, at Laurel Hill, Spottsylvania and North Anna, on the way to Richmond, began to con centrate at Cold FTarbor, a few miles from Richmond, June l, 1864, writes Lieut.. Col. J. A. WatrOus in the Chica- go Record-H Herald There was a sharp fight that day, and for nine days that devoted army, whose losses from May approximated 10000 killed, wounded and prisoners, was constantly under musketry and cannon firing, engaged in several of the most bitterly con. tested actions of the campaign from Culpepper and Appomattox.
 - At Cold Harbor General "Baldy" Smiths corps, the Eighteenth, joined the Army of the Potomac and took part in those memorable battles which threatened Richmond so greatly that President Davis, other high officials and many citizens were prepared tC
  been kept in waiting to convey them out of the reach of the northern army
 There was warfare in all of its say, agery at Cold Harbor. Both armies fully realized the importance of every move. General Lee and his men felt that they must fight as never before to save the capital of the Confederacy and Generals Grant and Meade and their followers realized the need of 2 successful issue of the Cold Harbo1 engagements.
 General Grants army was at great disadvantage throughout the Cold liar bor campaign. June 2, at short time before sundOwn, General Lee concen. trated a large force on the Union right, and made a fierce attack upon General Burnside's Ninth corps. The Ninth corps was driven back and swung partially in the rear of the Fifth and Second corps. Reinforce ments, hurried to the aid of the Ninth, succeeded in repulsing the onslaught nd in driving back the victorious Confederates to the position they held before the attack was made.
 That battle did not end until dark
 All along both lines, Union and Con. federate, trenches, not unlike graves, had been dug for protection. Scores of men who exposed themselves in the performance of duty or through curi-
Holbrook argus., 1911-11-07

osity were killed and fell into these grave-like trenches.
 The movement of the troops from the right and left of Hancock's Sec ond corps to supporting distance of that peerless soldiers position gave warning that desperate assault was soon to be made. The whole army was pate. The battle came with a mighty clash, and a charge as heroic as Pick ett's at Gettysburg. Within a short space of time there fell on June 8, 1864, at Cold Harbor, 17,00O men. killed or wounded
 It was disastrous Union defeat. The result was well calculated to dis hearten the splendid army that had fought so many times and suffered so frequently without much gain for it's cause. But, strange to say, as well as fortunate to say, it did not lose confi- Hence; it was still hopeful, it was still IS determined as was its unyielding, hopeful, confident commander, the si- lent Grant
 Just before the army left Cold liar DOT there took place, out of range of 'iies but not of cannon, a meeting and l parting that was pathetic. One June II, 1864, the Iron Brigade began to dis solve. The three years of the Second Wisconsin had expired, and they were relieved from the battle line and sent home for mastering out. It would have been natural for the men of the Second to be overjcyed at permission 10 go home after three years of sucb work as they had dcne. But there were faces as sad among the little 1arty as it marched away as were 'ound among those of the Sixth ana 'eventh Wisconsin, Nineteenth Indi -ua and Twentyfourth Michigan, wh, soherly watched them until they dis lpreaTed over the hill
