WAR SCOUTS AND SPIES.

Those were stirring times, those days
from 81 to IS. Much has been told of
the great deeds of those days and the
noted men who acted the leading parts
in that great drama. Little or nothing,
however, has been known of the heroic
silent work of the scouts and the spies,
without whom many battle would have
ended in defeat instead of victory.
The book just published by Harper &
Bros, New York, "On Hazardous Ser
vice." by William Gilmore Beymer, tells
of the hairbreadth escapes and wonder
full underworld experiences of the spies
and scouts of the Civil War, both Fed
eral and Confederate, who were the eyes
and ears, the second sight and sixth
sense of the Generals of both armies.
The danger of belonging to the Secret
Service in time of war is immense, the
risk of death is hourly. There is no way
when scout or a spy is at work that he
or she has the least certainty that the
next morning at sunrise may not be the
last on earth. The book is full of thrill
ing deeds of the most noted scouts and
spies.
Rowand, upon whom Sheridan so much
depended and whom he recommended to
Congress for medal of honor-Rowand

away incident, he Cooked across a

Miss Van Lew, too, the Northern spy,
she whose system of communication
from Richmond to Grants headquarters
was SO perfect that flowers picked from
her garden in the afternoon were deliv-
cred at Grants tent at breakfast the
next morning, and her exciting story Of
the stealing of Col. Dahlgren's body.
Her sources of information were truly
marvellous, an instance of which was
that OF her former woman slave, whom
she placed as waiter in Jefferson
Davis household and who daily reported
all table talk. which was Immediately
forwarded to the North. She it was who
had a great American flag, the Stars
and Stripes, 10 feet long, struggled
through the Rebel lines at the risk of
package to the Confederate capital.
Nevertheless she must have it that
when the city fell and the Bows in Blue
marched up the street she might with
her own hands fling out once more that
dear old flag that had not been seen for
four long years.
Then there is that American hero,
Young, the great scout, of whom Sheri-
dan said to Col. Edwards, II will not
take an officer of your staff from you
without your consent, but want him, +"
and the colonels reply, II would rather
you take my right arm than to take him
from me-.

cannot be matched, who successfully

column disguised as Confederate and
riding with the foe until he gained the

Kings Cutters and Smupplers - bv
E. Keble Chatterton, is complete and
comprehensive story of trade az old M
civilization. 1t seems to be universal
trait in human character to try to evade
tax, and in the early days of old England
much blood was lost in the pursuit Of the
none too gentle art of smuggling. Mr..
Chatterton has gone as far back as ZOO
and has described the methods and ex,
polts OF the smuggler down to 1856. He
has gathered many facts and has woven
them into volume. which cannot fail to
contain many thrilling adventures
Smuggling throve on the high seas. and
while many were caught there ALWAYS
remained plenty of lawless crews 70

was constant and sharp. PHILADELPHIA:

well located and started right.
The last three days meetings have
been held with Rev. j. M. Walters

HANLEY'S PARTY VIEWS
Candidate for Lieutenant Governor
Says Whole Party Must Give
Support to Republicans.

There is n thing 1 would like to
see this year. said Capt. James II.
Hanley of Mandan to a Forum repre-
sentative last night in the Gardner
hotel lobby. THAT is harmony after
the June primaries.
Il wish that could be sufficiently
impressed on the minds of every man
in the republican party. No matter
which factions candidates are NOM
mated let the whole party support the
ticket in November.
IF there is any squabbling after
the primaries, we might Just as web
consider a democratic victory as not.
If the stalwart candidates are nom
mated in June, let all the insurgents
gather around and support the ticket
in November, and vice versa. That is
the only way to be assured of repubIi-
can success. And what we want more
than anything else in this state now
is to get back into the republican
ranks and not be in the position of
not being able to be placed. L hope
harmony will prevail and that is what
l am going to preach"

thus far they have gone on in life quite
the same.
They both hadIgood voices, but were
poor singers. l sometimes worried
for fear the people would go to other
