which decided to take steps to have
one of the canals from Lake Okeecho-
bee running through Palm Beach
county. The advantages of such a wa
terway in that district are to be seen,
and the Palm Beach citizens do not
propose to let any grass grow under
their feet in bringing all the pressure
they can to secure it. The commit
tee appointed to visit the drainage
district will be entertained at West
Palm Beach and will be taken on an
automobile tour to Fort Lauderdale,
from which point they will visit the
main canals, north and south. The
committee will leave Tallahassee the
first of the week, and will probably
be absent the remainder of the
week.
RACE TRACK MEASURE.
There are five visiting committees
composed OF three members from the
house and two from the senate in each
case, with possibly one exception,
which committee is composed of
three, the majority being from the
house and the other from the SEN
ate. It has been suggested that the
absence of these members might be

Seriously. but the absence of some
ten to fifteen members from the house
might give the race track the ad-

there are twenty-five votes in the
house opposed to the anti-race track
measure-not because they favor rae

measure as too drastic and sweeping.

The Works at FRANKLIN.

Daniel Wise, 104th Ohio, Viroqua,
Wis, wants to know who built the
main line of works east of The Column
bia pike to the cotton gin at Franklin.
and whether the same troops occupied
them when the battle closed. He was
one of the men that built the works in
front of the gin. They got the logs
that were placed on the works from a
small stable that stood near the gin.
When the battle closed there was a
picket line sent out in front about eight
OF 10 rods. which stood there while the
troops evacuated the line and crossed
the river. Then they were called In
and crossed the river, about the last
that did so. He was one of the line,
and was stationed due south Of the gin.
There was where the fighting was the
heaviest, and the dead and wounded
were lying so close In places that he
could not walk without stepping on
them.

HIS ACCOUNT.
What 1t Cost One. Conlrade to Serxe
His Country


Editor National Tribune: In these
days, when there is so much being said
by the pension-hating papers against
the old soldiers and pensions, one is al
most constrained to say;i Uncle Sam
We don't care TO- have the stigma of
pensions las they call it, thrown in our
| faces any longer Youe just pay us
what you promised us, and, what is just
ly due us, and keep your pensions"
Now. For instance, take my own
claim. When the, war broke out I was
a 17-year-old boy, living IN Clarke
County Mo. I had worked hard all
Summer; had raised 35 acres of corn
that everybody said would make so
bushels per acre; had 60 head of hogs.
estimate the corn was worth s525 and
the hogs s292, and all that I ever got
was $40. The rebels swiped the entire
platter of the rest. My brother-in-iaw
and 1 had to leave the County. as we
took very positive stand for the
Union, and both went into the army
he in the 21st Mo. and l the 7th Mo.
Cav We left everything to the mercy
of the rebels. and that was very little
at the breaking out of the war.
Now, as to my service: l was mus
tered into service Aug. 9, 1861. and
mustered out Oct. II, 1864. almost 3s
months, and as 1 served most of the
time as non-commissioned officer
(when mustered out was Fifth Sergeant
of company. my pay would have aver
aged SIS per month. That is what
Uncle Sam promised me. Now, what
actually received was less than one
half Now, the Government justly owes
me that, as much as any dollar she
owes anywhere, and the old veteran, j,
B. Weaver, said so when he was in Con-
gress, and introduced bill to that ef-
feet. ..s
On my return home I was elected
First Lieutenant of Co. c, Iowa Guard.
and served seven months in that ca
pacity at s72 per month. for which !
received nothing. 1 still have in my
possession my Lieutenant's commission.
Now, Mr.. Editor I feel thar Uncle Sam
owes me this debt with interest at the
rate of eight per cent, as that is about
an average of interest that we have
had to pay since Uncle Sam has owed
US this debt. as we have had to pay as
high as 90 per cent to keep the Sheriff
off of us at times.
Now, my claim:
Corn and hogs. sS17 minus $40. $747
Difference in wages. .......... 437
Seven months service as First
Lieutenant 5O4
Iotdl. $1,000
Now, let some school boy figure the
interest on this, compound 1t from 1854
at eight per cent, and let Uncle Sam
send me the money, and it will not
make any difference to me whether or
not the Senate ratif1es the action of the
House, and. II 1t does ratify the action
whether Mr.. Taft vetoes the age pension
bill.-W. H. Craven, Sergeant, Co. A.

A "Reminiscences Of Mrs. Grant.

Editor National Tribune: In the year
1892 the Methodist Episcopal General
Conference met in New York City.
found occasion to visit the conference,
and 1t happened that on the day of my
visit Mrs. Grant invited all the veterans
present 10 visit her, and I went up to
65th street with the others. We had a
very pleasant visit. Two weeks later
she announced a reception for the
whole conference, and / went again.
This time l met personally Col. Fred
Grant and his wife. At that time 1 was
railroad manager for the Silver Lake
Assembly. Among my duties l ar
ranged for great Grand Army Day
each year, and il .Occurred to me that If
1 could secure the presence of Mrs.
Grant it would add largely to the at
tendance In carrying out my plan =
visited Mrs. Grant three times. She
was very pleasant, and made me feel
quite at home. After my business was
transacted We fell to talking of the
General. Mrs. Grant could be interest
ed at once If one talked to her of her
great husband In the course of the
conversation she told me the following
interesting incident, which / can relate
almost in her own words. She said:
when I was a girl, living at ST.
Louis, which at that time was only
village, it was the ambition of all the
visit New Orleans which was at that
time the great city of the South. 1
very much desired to visit the city, but
never had the opportunity to go there.
One night 1 dreamed that l went to
New Orleans, and the people turned out
and carpeted the walks and prepared
great collations, and treated me as tho
| had been Queen. 1t seemed in my
dream as tho this was done for another
person. but / was permitted to partici-
pate in it. as tho it had been done for
me. When the General retired from
the Presidency We went to New Or
leans. and the people did for us just
what they had done in my dream"
She told me that before the Presi-
Dental term expired every mail brought
many letters urging the General to run
for a third term. The treatment that
Grant accorded to Lee greatly endeared
him to the Southern people, and there
was no place In the country where he
was personally as popular as In the
South.-Rev. T. +. Parker, Sanborn,
N. Y.

coffee pot and frying pan, Jim Henry,
whose back for once faced the enemy,
suddenly tilted himself forward and
sidewise, exclaimed, "Hello!' and then
scratched out of the leaves and dirt an
ounce ball, which he had felt go into
the ground under him. That was an
intimation that the Johnnies had it in
for us, and it was not long thereafter
that the squad began to go after the
manner of the 10 little Injuns'' of
classic memory.
But l may digress a moment to ex-
plain that shortly before this time Mel
Davis had come to feel that he was a
man, and should be recognized and
treated as such. He had now played
the snare drum in the regImental band
nearly three years. and had reached
