Lexington, Ky.-Kentucky recently
celebrated the memory and deeds Of
one of the confederacy's greatest cav
airy raiders, Gen John H. Morgan,
whose name, with that of Gen. Mosby
of Virginia, fills the annals of daring
in the civil war
MOrgan's name was a terror in the
border states of the Ohio river until
the union forces dominated Kentucky
and his brilliant service in many Of
the most important battles, including
Shiloh, Pittsburg Landing and others,
stamped him as one of the great lead
ers of the south.
His career was cut short Sept. 4,
1864, when he was trapped by federal
forces at Greenville, Tenn, and was
shot dead in attempting to escape,
with his staff, from a house in that
city which had been surrounded in
the Union surprise.

Swedish inventors Device Makes Or.
binary Infantryman Much More
Formidable In Battle.

London.-A Swede named Syenson
claims to have invented a new auto
matte rifle which may do away with
machine guns on the field Of battle,
while the ordinary infantry soldier,
armed with this weapon, would be-
come much more formidable than he
is with his present equipment
The new invention has not only
been applied to rifles, but to fowling
pieces and other weapons. AS regards
rifles, Mr. Svenson has invented two
kinds of appliances, one of which can
be used as an ordinary rifle and an
other as machine gun. Mr.. Svenson
claims that his weapon can at will be
made to perform both functions with

Monster Struggles Desperately to Free

Surfmen from the Ocean City life

monster threshed about wildly. They
lowered close until the whale weak

Then, as the whale, after last des-
perate CONFUSION, surrendered, the
government men roped him. He was
dead when the men anchored his car
cass to the sands to prevent the sea
at high tide from wrestling their prize
from them.
Low tide at noon enabled the
throngs to crowd about the whale and
