An ArtslIer,man,s History.

Editor National Tribune: was born
in Adams Township. Decatur County,
Ind, June 8. 1888. My parents with
their then five children moved to Min
route in the Spring and Summer Of
1882, locating In Houston County, near
Brownsville. No public school advan-
tages in the Territory in those days, but
with the encouragement Of kind and
ambitious father, I had a. start in edu-
cation; and with his consent appren-
ticed myself for seven years to one
had Just started and was, the editor at
the time Of the Southern Minnesota
Herald at Brownsville, Mimi. IN the
Winter seasons of 1858-80 and 81
worked in tho WinonaS Republican
printing Office during spare hours and
attended the Winona Normal School,
at which time I acted as librarian and
then a quite pretentious frame Struc-
ture. In Summer seasons I gave my
attention to the occupation Of csbin
boy on Mississippi River boats, there
being more money in the river trade
than on shore In those days. While
working in La Crosse, Mimi, under d.
rection and employ of a noted charac-
ter known as Brick Pomroy," editor
OF the La Crosse Democrat, the volun
teer excitement caught me so strong
my name got mixed up with q lot Of
others who Joined Fosters LIST Wis.
Battery, when Brick let loose and
said in the Democrat: Another good
printer wanted at this office: our last
man, Bob Watson. has caught the war
fever and swears he cannot recover till
he sees Dixie" I served in this bat
terry till Aug. 1, 1883. At Vicksburg
L got considerable more than my sat-
isfy"; was sent up to the Marine Hos
pitai at st. Louis, on Carrondolet ave-
nue.; from there transferred to the
"40th Co., Invalid Corps" sent to In
dianapolis, and there assigned to Co B
of the 5th o. 8. Veteran Reserve Corps
When my time had expired and was
about to be mustered out, as I hoped
a commission as Lieutenant in the 25th
Ind. L. A. from Gov. Oliver P. Morton
came out to camp hunting for me. and
again my fate was sealed. / served
in this battery till mustered out, July
20, 1865, and on the 23d the battery
boys eorralled themselves and had ME
secretly arrested and brought before
tribunal In the Circle Restaurant
and sentenced me to the acceptance of
an Appleton & Tracy Waltham watch
which has been on my person every
day since, only trusting it out of my
sight while II was being cleaned for
only few hours at time. l wish
could show this remarkably serviceabls
timepiece to those who gave 1t to me-

Tho 81st Ohio.

Editor National Tribune: Let me cor
rect the statement Of the organization
of the 91st Ohio, that l WAS a member
of Co. B of that regiment. You say
that the regiment was organized at
Ironton Sept Z. 1862. The history
says that the organization was COM
menced in July, 1862, and was filed
above the maximHrn insane month. The
regiment went into camp in August,
four miles from Portsmouth, on a
small creek thar fiowssdnto the Ohio
River. Aug. 26g 1851 the regiment
received its arms and aaccouterments,
and five companies were ordered to
Ironton to resist rebel raid down
the Big Sandys River. uSept. the re-
mainder of the regiment was sent to
Guyandot. Va, Ito meet IA raid by Gen.
Jenkins. Sept 8 sshey returned to IRON
ton. and Sept. 5'the regiment was regu-
larly mustered ninto the service of the
United States for three years. There
fore, the regiment didDsduty as State
troops from AugJ26 to Sept. Z. After
they were mustered intot the U. S. SER
vice they made dtS goodia record as any
Ohio regiment. sWe were brigaded with
the 18th, saith and 9fst Ohio and 9th
w. Va. forming the Second Brigade of
the Army of West Virginia. The regi-
nent lost three commissioned officers
killed and 80 enlisted men. Twenty
four died Of wounds, making an aggre-
gate of 81. There were Is commits
stoned officers wounded and 205 men
one commissioned officer and 90 men
were captured making a total OF 29s
casualties. which shows what the regf-
E.sent did while in the service The
famous Capt. Dickl Blazer with his
mounted company of picked men OF
The Second Brigade,s acted as scouts for
the Union soldiers gaSainst the rebel

stroyed. Gen. Hampton testified very
positively that members of Sherman's
army set fire to the cotton Gen. Sher-
man in his testimony did not believe
his soldiers fired the cotton; he was not
where he could see. yet he verify be-
lieved he was nearer the advance of his
army when entering the city than Gen.
Hampton was to the rear of his army
when leaving it.
Gen Sherman, continuing, said: IT
now remember, however, that small
party from the Seventeenth Corps
crossed the Congaree River in front OF
the city, advanced thru its streets and
raised their colors over the State House
in advance of all other troops, and had
reported stragglers of the rebel army
pillaging stores and firing the cotton
which was piled along the main street.

the actors, if living, will now come for

for the Government because members
Of that party had entered the main
street of the city three-quarters of an
hour before the advance skirmishers of

An attractive { lstmas greeting,
neat but inexpens is being offered
for sale by the Y. w. C. A. of the
State Normal school in Moorhead. 1t
is a deckle-edge booklet, printed in
two colors, entitled The Christmas
Hearth.

message, In Season, has also been Of
fered, but is now practically sold out
The verses for both of the greetings
are by Mr.. Reed Of the normal.

Alow cost, the greetings have the ad-
vantage Of being on sale only locally.
Through the courtesy of The North Da-

Mr.. Humphrey have extended the same
courtesy to the Y. w. c. A.

card seem to me to be just what is
much needed at this season.

HARDY PRAISES
The Land SHOW
PRESIDENT OF COMMERCIAL
CLUB SAYS RED RIVER VALLEY
EXHIBIT Is UNIQUE IN EVERY
DETAIL-HAD FINE TIME AT
GOVERNORS BANQUET.

"The Rer river valley exhibit at the
entrance where it arrests the atten-
unique and attractive at the exhibit
tion,' said Pres. J. p. Hardy of the
Fargo commercial club to a Forum
representative today. Mr.. Hardy spent
Saturday in ST. Paul attending the
land show and represented the city at
Governor Eberhart's reception in hon.
or Of the western governors and the
complimentary banquet rendered the
northwestern executives at the st.
Paul hotel.
"The three special exhibits from the
flickertail state. including the Red
river valley of the north, the lake re-
gion and the Missouri slope displays,
were among the best seen at the
show" continued President Hardy.
Everything looks fresh and bright
and pleases the eye. All the displays
are SO arranged as to emphasize all
the chief points that will encourage
immigration to this section Of the
country and particularly this state.
about the most attractive state ex-
hibit all the way through Is the Mon
tana display. The Northern Pacific
exhibit is fine and no Partially ID
shown as no one state or certain sec
ton il any more favored than any OF
the other parts OF the country through
which the railroad passes. The Red
river valley exhibit is ideally located
in the auditorium as it is right at the
entrance where t arrests the atten-
ton of every visitor coming into the
building.
Some clever conceits are carried
out in presenting the statistical facts
which the Red river valley boosters
want to impress upon the minds of the
visitors. A miniature automobile is
running about on one Of the tables on
which is printed the number of ma
chimes in the valley and the same idea
Is carried out in regard to the rural
mail routes.
There is a farm scene one one OF
the tables where some soil has been
placed with blades OF grass and grains
growing In IL. 1t is surprising to no
tice how many people will come up
and feel this soil. The Minnesota
exhibit is also worthy Of mention.
Governors' Banquet.
The governors banquet at the st.
Paul hotel was particularly enjoy
able affair. All the speakers were in
q particularly happy mood and did
themselves proud. From all reports
their trip through the east must have
done the northwest q great deal Of
good and during the next few years
1t Is hoped that the results OF the
trip win be seen IN the development
and settlement of this country.
AT the conclusion OF the regular
programme there was general cry
for Governor Harmon OF Ohio, who
had not been heard. The governor
was rather reticent about speaking,
but finally when he say the request
was general and the applause was
loud he responded with a clever little
speech in which he paid high trib
ute TO the western governors.
sHarmon's speech did not touch on
politics whatever He said that he
felt the eastern governors should take
lear ont Or the books of their weHf~
ern brothers and make trlp through
this territory. One m0tice&ble thin8
