SCOUTING IN WEST VIRGINIA
Incidents Of Battle Of Beverly, Nea'
Where General Garnett Was
Killed, Are Recounted.

The story Of a scout who passed
among his unsuspeCting enemies and
returned later to capture some or
them is told by Lysander Johnston,
who was a soldied in Gen George b.
McClellan's army in western Virginia
early in the war. The adventure or
which he tells was an incident OF the
operations hat include the battles or
Beverly, Laurel hill. Rich mountain
and Carrick's ford, fought from July
II to 10. 1861. In the last named bat
tie Gen. r. 8. Garnett, the %confeder-
ate commander, was killed where he
was holding q second ford with a
sinai boQyguard.
Mr.. Johnston's story is as follows:
Il was acting as a scout In Gen.
Thomas A. Morris division and the
day Of Gen. Garnett's death ! was
sent with a message to Gen. George B.
Mcclellan at Beverly, Va. l was Sc
lected by Gen. Morris at Grafton to
go out into the country and procure
horses enough to noun thirty or for

Vessey Believes in SUFFRAGE.

Pierre.-Responding to the request
of a New York paper for an expression
on woman's suffrage, Governor R. S.
Vessey wrote as follows:
l have to say that, in my opinion,
the movement is one that will ulti-
mately win. In the first place, l have
been unable to find n good reason
why men should have the right of stuff
rage that does not equally apply to
women | have no fear that m
will be made less womanly because Of
the extension to her of this right, and
| do believe that it will materially i'm
prove the quality of conscience ex-
pressed at the ballot box of the count
ry, and also give to omar a just and
proper consideration in matters per-
tanning to legislation. In other words,
the success of the movement will &C
complish much for our government
by more adequately equalizing justice
in the interests OF the entire citizen
ship.

AT BERLIN SCANDAL
bachery Which Marks German
Capitals High Life.

Berlin.-Berlin is fairly ringing with
the scandal of the trial of Count Gis-
bert Wolff Metternich, accused of
fraud, forgery and of being a tricky
card sharp in the salons of the fash
ionable and wealthy. Metternich has
ruthlessly torn aside the curtains OF
respectability-heavy, brocaded, rich
curtains-and disclosed a condition OF
affairs in the society of the German
capital which the German press finds
startling.
There has followed testimony which
in its evidence of immortality and cor
ruption in German society moved the
National Zeitung editorially to de-
clare: "a soulless collection OF
riches infest society and
there parade all sensual pleasures, cor
rupttng family life to the very core
and breaking down all barriers OF
modesty."

MISSILE OF SIXTIES
lanes Projectile Used During
Civil War.
An OId-Time Artillery Missile Made OF
Cast Iron, n of Most Peculiar
and Interesting Construc-

philadelphia, Pa.-Of the many
styles of artillery projectiles made
and used during the War for the
Union those constructed on General
James place were among the most
interesting and useful. This lnVen-
ton, however, was not II OF those

Irrigation Rights.

Pierre.-There has been c%onsidera-
BILE inquiry concerning the securing
of water rights for irrigation pur-
poses. Such rights can only be Sc
cured on streams with a mean flow
of 20 miners inches. Those with less
1owage are treated as dry draws. A
water right on any stream vests it's
holder with the absolute right to use
so much water, and if his pro rata Is
diminished by appropriation Of water
above, the law will protect him in his
right. No rights can be secured on
dry draws, and a man constructing a
dam or such, does so at the risk Of
some one cutting off his supply of wa
ter from above.

Dakota Industries.

Yankton.-The statistics of manu-
facture for South Dakota, the bulletin
of which has just been issued from
the census bureau, contains some in
~teresting figures concerning the print
ing and publishing business in this
state. Among other interesting things
the report shows that over one-third
Of all the industries tabulated are

ments, the closest competitors for the
place being manufacturers of butter,
cheese and condensed milk, and man.

products-these two industries tying
for second place with 95 of each, as
compared with 1872 in the printing and
publishing business.

W A is HC NE?
Common Belief is That a Mans Home
ie Wbara HE r. plilv is.

Common Belief is That a Mans Home
is Whsre His Family is.
Pierre.-In all the uncertainties OF
what the government land department
might rule as to the requisites for
proof on a homestead, those who have
been dealing with that department for
years, have finally accepted one thing
not subject to daily change, and that
is the policy that a home is where the
family resides. On this more than n
homesteader has been told that no
matter what he may have done in the
way of improvements, unless his ram
lily was with him he had made no
home on the claim, that his home was
in town where mis- family resided
while the head of the house was OF the
claim. and on this many a claim has
been cancelled. But a Stanley county
claimant has just run up against an
other idea of some one in the govern
ment land department. He went upon
the tract on which he made a filing,
established his family on the tract,
put up good buildings, fenced the
ground, and put in a crop.
Then leaving the family on the claim
he went to town and secured work
for funds to keep the family until the
and should be in a shape to bring a
financial return. He offered commute
ton proof, and has bee turned down
by the general LAND department on the
ground that the location of his family
on the land did not make it his home,
but that his home was at the place
where he individually put in most Of
his time.
While on his trip through this state
the attention of President Taft was
called to many of the difficulties
thrown in the way of the homesteader
in securing title to his land, and the
papers in this particular case will be
used to find out just how far the land
department can go in double reversals
of its W rulings to harass a settler.

Cutting Trees Across the Road.

Garnett at about the same time. So
Morris moved from Philippi July 8
and ooh position inside Garnett's
outer line of works. The 10th and
18th he bombarded Garrett and
drove him into his stronger works.
Early in the morning of the 18th we
found that Garrett had abandoned his
the mountain. Gen. Morris prepared
a message as Don as he could to send
to Gen. Mcclellan for orders. He
asked me to deliver it to Gen. McClel-
Ian as soon as possible.
Il started for Beverly shortly after
daylight in a drizzling rain, but pro-
tected by a rubber blanket with a
hole in the center, through which l
stuck my head. This outfit proved to
be my protector from identification
soon after. On reaching the o run
ming up and down the valley, much to
my surprise. l learned that a large
body of troops had just passed the
junction coming down the valley from
Beverly. halted a few seconds to
take in the situation and hen went
ahead.
II had not gone more than a mile
or two when, rounding a curve in the
road through the woods, l came face
to face with Garnett's rear guard of
about 200 or 800 men. The psychol-
ogical moment had arrived. I did not
dare stop to think and SO kept up my
gait until | came to the cad of their
column. Then l checked my speed a
trife and gave the military salute
and they opened file. passed though
their ranks and was then able to take
in the situation. l was not out of
danger. however, for they had left
ten or twelve men a short distance
back. scattered along cutting trees
across the road to keep Gen. McCleI-
Ian from pursuit with his artillery. I
passed through and around the fallen
trees with the air of an inspector of
their work without being asked a
question. AS l went among the men
the whole truth flashed through my
mind: Gen. Garnett had not known
that Gen. Mcclellan had cut off his
retreat IN that road until he arrived
at or near Beverly and then he had
had to countermarch down the val
ley.
soon I arrived at Beverly, but had
to go about one mile farther south be-
fore meeting Gen. Mcclellan. I hand
ed him the message, and he read it
and asked several questions. After
had given him an account Of my trip
he turned to his a%djutant and instruct
ed him to make a detail of twenty
men to escort me back to Gen. Nor
ris The orders to the latter were tn
pursue and engage Gen. Garnett. On
my return trip We captured six or
eight of the confederate soldiers who
had been telling trees In the road I'm
der my inspection.
Under Gen. McClellan's orders
Gen. Morris Immediately pursued Gen
Garrett II Gen. Garrett had not
made the mistake of trying to re-
treat up the valley and through Bey-
erly he would have had at least ten
or twelve hours the start of Gen. Nor
ris and would have escaped. AS it
was he was only four or five hours
ahead and We overhauIed and captur-
ed his supply train before 1t had gone
more than twelve miles from the
point where l had met Gen. Morris on
my return from Beverly. About five
or six miles farther on Gen. Garnett
was killed on the Cheat river, near
Carrick's ford. late in the afternoon"
