THE BEST TREATMENT FOR
ITCHING ScALPS, DANDRUFF
AND FALLING HAIR

To allay itching and irritation OF the
scalp, prevent dry, thin and falling
hair, remove crusts, scales and dan
druff, and promote the growth and
beauty of the hair, the following spe-
cial treatment is most effective, agree
able and economical On retiring,
comb the hair out straight all around,
then begin at the side and make a
parting. gently rubbing Cuticura Oint-
ment into the parting with bit OF
soft flannel held over the end of the
finger. Anoint additional partings
about half an inch apart until the
whole scalp has been treated, the pur-
pose being to-get the Cuticura Oint-
ment on the scalp skin rather than on
the hair. 1t is well to place light
covering over the hair to protect the
pillow from possible stain. The next
morning, shampoo with Cuticura Soap
and hot water Shampoos alone may
be used as often as agreeable, but
once or twice a month is generally
sufficient for this special treatment
for women's hair.

STORY OF FAMOUS
CIVIL WAR FIGHT
Battle OF Gettysburg Which
Brought Credit to Both
Blue and Gray.
TURNING POINT OF CONFLICT
Total Losses on Both Sides in Three
Days Fighting Over 5o,ooo-sev-
eraI Generals Killed and
Wounded.
BY EDWARD 3. CLARK.


w YAsHINGToN.-It is posi-
BILE, some people would say
wv probable, that the Battle OF
W Gettysburg changed utterly
the course Of American his
tory. It was great fight between
armies of Americans, for probably
fully ninety per cent. of the men who
fought on Che two sides were born
natives to the American soil. The
bravery shown at Gettysburg was Of
the order which Americans have
shown on every field and which re-
fleets credit upon the hardy and
heroic ancestry Of the men engaged,
no matter from what race they may
have sprung.
At Gettysburg there was nothing to
choose between the valor Of the North
and the South. The South lost the
fight, but it lost it honorably and
with the prestige Of its soldiery I'M
dimmed. The charges made on that
field have gone down into history as
assaults made under conditions which
every man felt might mean death at
the end. The defenses made at Gettys-
burg were of the kind which it takes
iron in the blood to make perfect. At
Gettysburg Northerners and South
erners replenished their store of. re-
spect for their antagonists. The bat
tie marked the high tide of the war
between the states. After it the
South largely was on the defensive,
but it's defense was maintained with
fortitude and in the face of privations
which could not chill the blood Of
men fighting for what they thought
was the right.
The Northern armies we're persis-
tent in their attacks through the cam
paigns which after few months we're
started aginst the objective point,
Richmond. Brave men here and brave
men there, and after the end came it
was the qualities which keep COM
pany with bravery which made the
soldiers of the North and South so
ready to forget and to- forgive and to
work again for the good of a COM
mon country. &
The great battle of Charlottesville
was fought not long. before the oppos-
ing Union and Confederate forces met
on the field of Gettysburg. Chancel-
louisville was Confederate victory.
The Southern government believed
that the victory should be followed up
by an invasion of the North for. &C.

ant engagement could be won upon

When the third days fighting open

hundreds of guns belchsng forth shot

contending forces. 1t Is said that this
was the greatest duel engaged In by
field pieces during the four years Of
the war between the states.
The Union guns at one time ceased
firing, and it is said that the southern
commander thought they had been
silenced, and then it was that Long
streets men made an assault and
Pickett's men made their charge. The
former generals objective was Big
Round Top, but his forces we're driv-

in brigade columns and they moved

shallow, commonplace, commercial

Il used to visit Walt Whitman In
his old age in his little two-stcsy

this, OF old-time Philadelphia day
in December I said to him:
"'Well, Walt, how are things going

Southern general did not succeed in
the plan which he had formed to get
by Big Round Top and to attack the
Third Corps from a position of van
tage in the rear. General Sickles de-
Tended Round Top and Longstreet
could not take it.
When one visits the battlefield of
Gettysburg he can trace the course
Of battle of the second day where it
ragged at Round Top, Peach Orchard,
Cemetery Hill, Culp's Hill, and what
is known as The DEVILS Den. The
tide of battle ebbed and flowed. Lit
tie Round Top was saved from cap
ture by the timely arrival of brigade
commanded by General Weed that
dragged the guns of a United States
regular battery up to the summit by
hand
At the end of the second days fight
it was found that the Southern army
had failed to break the left flank OF
the opposing forces, that it had failed
to capture Round Top and that the
right flank of the Northern army, al
though vigorously attacked, had not
been broken. There was a tremen-
dous loss of life on both sides, and
while in general the day had gone
favorably to the Northern cause Get
tysburg was still drawn battle.

land from invasion, q condition which
military men say always adds q sub
tie something to the fighting quality
which is in any man. Some authOri-
ties have said that there we're 100000
men in the Confederate forces at Get
tysburg to be confronted by 10000
Union troops. Another authority says
that the Confederate force was $4,000
and the Union force $4,000. AS 1t was
the armies were pretty nearly equally
divided in strength.
In June, 1863, General Robert E..
Lee began to move northward. Lee
concentrated his army at Winchester,
Va, and then started for the Potomac
river, which he crossed to reach the
state of Maryland. He fully expected
to be followed by General Hooker's
army and so General Stuart with q
large force of cavalry was ordered by
Lee to keep in front of Hooker's army
and to check his pursuit Of the Con-
federates IL it was attempted.
Late in June the Confederate force
reached Hagerstown, In the state Of
Maryland. 1t was General Lees in
tention to strike Harrisburg, Pa,
which was great railroad center
and city where Union armies were
recruited and from which all kinds Of
supplies were sent out to the soldiers
in the field. While the Southern COM
mander was on his way with a large
part Of his force to the Pennsylvania
capital another part of his command

Northern soil the chances of foreign
Intervention or at least foreign aid to
the Southern cause, would be forth
coming.
General Robert e. Lee late in the
spring of 1868, made his preparations
to conduct his campaign Northward
into the state of Pennsylvania. He
had under his command three corps,
General James Longstreet command
ing the First, General Richard S.
Ewell commanding the Second, and
General A. P. Hill commanding the
Third. In the Union army which aft
erward confronted Lee at Gettysburg,
there were seven corps, but the num-
Der of men in each was much less
than that in a Confederate corps, the
military composition of each being
different. The Union corps comman-
ders who under Meade were at Get
tysburg. we're Generals John F. Rey-
nolds, w. S. Hancock. Daniel E.
Sickles, George Sykes, John Sedgwick,
o. o. Howard and H. w. Slocum.
Forces Almost Evenly Matched.
1t never has been determined be-
yond the point of all dispute just how
many men were engaged on each side
in the battle OF Gettysburg 1t is
known that the armies were very
nearly equal In strength, the proba-
biiiiies being that the Confederate
force was few thousand men strong
er than the Union force, difference
which was balanced perhaps by the
fact that the Union armies at Gettys-
burg were lighting in defense of their

was ordered to make it's way into the
SusQuehanna Valley through the town
of Gettysburg and then to turn in its
course after destroying railroads and
gathering in supplies, and to meet the
Confederate commander with the main
army at Harrisburg
It was General Jubal A. Early of
Gettysburg after a long hard march
on June 26. From there he went to
the town Of York and from thence to
Wrightsville. At this place he was
ordered by General Lee to retrace his
steps and to bring his detachment
back to a camp near Gettysburg.
When Early aid obeyed Lees order
and had reached point near Gettys-
burg he found the entire Southern
force was camped within easy strik-
ing distance of the now historic town.
In the meantime things were hap
pening elsewhere. General Hooker
in command of the Union army which
had been depleted at Charlottesville,
had succeeded in out-maneuvering
General Stuart in command of Lees
cavalry, had got around Stuart's COM
mand in way to prevent the South
ern general from forming a junction
with the forces of his chief comman-
der. Lee gave over the proposed
movement on Harrisburg when he
heard of Hooker's approach and
brought the different parts of his
army together.
Four days before the Gettysburg
fight began General Hooker resigned
as commander of the Union army.
Hooker and General Hallock dis
agreed upon matter concerning
which strategists today say that Gen
eral Hooker was right. Three days
before the battle began, that is, June
%, 1863, General George Gordan
Meade was named as General Hook
er's successor in charge of the North
ern army. General Meade at once
went into the field and established
his headquarters at a point ten or
twelve miles south of the town Of
Gettysburg.
Armies Meet at Gettysburg.
1t seems that General Lee on hear
ing that Stuart had not succeeded in
checking the Union army's advance
had made up his mind to turn south
ward to meet the force of Hooker, or
as it turned out the force of Meade
Lee with his force had advanced
north beyond Gettysburg, while Meade
with his force was south of the town.
The fields near the Pennsylvania vii
lage had not been picked as place of
battle, but there it was that the two
great armies came together and for
three days struggled for the mas
terry.
On the last day of June, the day
before the real battle of Gettysburg
began, General Reynolds, a corps
commander of the Union army, went
forward to feel out the enemy. He
reached Gettysburg by nightfall. His
corps, the First, together with the
Third and the Eleventh Infantry
Corps with division Of cavalry, COM
posed the Union army's left wing.
The Fifth Army Corps was sent to
Hanover, southeast Of Gettysburg,
and the Twelfth Corps was immedi-
ately south of Gettysburg at a dis
lance of eight or nine miles. This
was on June 80. and the Union forces
were fairly well separted, but they
were converging and Gettysburg was
their objective.
General Reynolds of the Union
forces arrived at Gettysburg early on
The Odanah star. [volume] (Odanah, Ashland Co., Wis.) 1912-1916, 1913-07-04

the morning Of July 1. He dispatched
courier to Meade saying that the
high ground above Gettysburg was
the proper place to meet the enemy.
Not long after this message was sent
to Meade General Reynolds who dis
patched it. was killed. He was on
horseback near patch of woods with
his force confronting large detach-
ment Of Confederate troops which was
coming toward them. These troops of
the enemy were dispersed by the
Union batteries and Reynolds was
watching the successful solid shot
and shrapnel onset when a bullet
struck him in the head killing him in
stantlJ.
General Abner Doubleday succeeded
Reynolds in command of the troops
at that point of the field. A brigade
OF Confederates, a Mississippi organi-
cation. charged the Union forces,
broke their organization and succeed
ed in making prisoners of large part
OF New York regiment. Later these
men were recaptured and the Missis-
sippi brigade was driven back, por-
ton of it surrendering. In the fight
on the first day at this point of the
Held or near 1t, one Union regiment,
the 151st Pennsylvania, lost in killed
and wounded 337 men out Of total
Of 446 in little more than a quarter
Of an hours fight
General Doubleday fell back to Sem
mary Ridge and extended his line.
The forces employed against him
here were greater than his own, and
after hard fighting Seminary Ridge
was given up. The first days battle
was in effect and in truth victory
for the Southern arms. On the night
Of July / General Hancock arrived
and succeeded in rallying the Union
forces and putting new heart into the
men. General Meade on that night
ordered the entire army to Gettys-
burg.
Victory Not Followed Up.
For some reason or other perhaps
unknown to this day, what was virtu-
ally a Confederate victory on the first
of July was not followed up by Gen
eral Lee early on the next morning
General Meade therefore succeeded in
Strengthening his lines and in pre-
pairing for the greater conflict. One
end of the Union line was some dis
lance east of Cemetery Hill on Rock
Creek, another end was at Round Top
something more than two miles be-
yond Cemetery Hill to the south. The
Confederate line confronting it was
somewhat longer.
1t is impossible in brief sketch of
this battle to give the names of the
brigade and the regimental comman-
ders and the names Of the regiments
which were engaged on both sides in
this great battle. Meade, Hancock,
Howard, Slocum and Sickles with
their men were confronting Lee,
Longstreet, Hill, Ewell and the other
great commanders of the South with
their men. The line of battle with the
spaces in between the different COM
mands was nearly ten miles. It was
the Confederate generals intention to
attack at the extreme right and left
and at the center simultaneously. It
was to be General Longstreet's duty
to turn the left flank of the Union
army and to break it." Longstreet's
intended movement was discovered in
time to have it met valiantly The
battle of the second day really be-
gan with Longstreet's advance. The
