Veterans of North and South and
Pennsylvania Town All Ready
to Celebrate Semi-centen-
NAL of Greatest Battle
of the Civil War.

- y and around the small town or
Gettysburg. Pa, was fought the
ferocious battle that proved the
turning point in he civil war,
and since almost equal honors fell TO
the troops of the north and those of the
south, it. is fitting that at the hftieth
anniversary celebration of that nght'
the greatest that marked the strife be
tween the states, July 1. 2. 3 and 4. its
survivors should there meet in reunion.
II will be the most notable memorial
ever held on a battlefield. Forty thou
sand veterans from every state in the
Union will be there, and upward or
$4,000 of these will be from the south.
Congress appropriated S150.oO0. and va
rious states made appropriations to de-
fray the expenses of the transportation
of veterans and of the joint encamp-
ment.
1t is impossible to say just how many
of the men who fought at Gettysburg
still live. OF all the surviving officers en-
gagged on either side General Daniel f.
Sickles held the highest command. The
Third army corps was under him, and
It was at Gettysburg that he lost his
leg.
Gettysburg has its place in history
as the greatest battle of the war, as
Antietam was the bloodiest. "Regi-
mental Losses In the American Civil
War" by William F. Fox, lieutenant
colonel, U. s. ". gives the Gettysburg
Union losses as follows: July 1-3, killed.
3.O7O; wounded. 14,497. including the
MORALLY wounded; missing, 5,434; ag-
gregate, 23,OO1. The Confederate losses
July 1-3 were as follows: Killed, 1882;
wounded, IL, FOG; captured and missing,
$3.50; aggregate. 20.448.

GOES TO HOSPITAL
WHEN HIT BY AUTO
LITTLE DOG RUN OVER BY CAR
SEEKS PROPER ASYLUM FOR
NECESSARY CARE.

Whether 1t was rare wisdom in a
canine or just a good quality of dog
sense, 1t does not matter, but the
fActs are that little black puplet
connected with large auto on East
Second street yesterday and made Its
way soon afterwards into the hospital.
That Is not all, the animal has found
that the spirit of humanity there is
shown the dumb animal as well.
The superintendent Miss Elizabeth
Trotter, the various nurses, and even
some of the doctors who happened
there at the time, We're not too busy
or unconcerned about the injury to
lend aid to the little black dog. The
animal sustained crushed hip, having
been run down by the auto, and when
the owner stopped his car and looked
his victim over, he then drove on with
out further solicitation for the pup.
This was wise dog, however, and
he was no stranger to his surround
ings. The accident took place near
the hospital and the first move the
victim made was to amble In his pain
full gait on three legs into the hospital.
DR.. A. o. Williams was one Of the
physicians present at the time and he
immediately took the direction of the
wounded barker's case, administering
the>necessary medical attention.
The question of admissibility was
soon disposed of and the basement
turned over to the new patient. Miss
Trotter lent personal attention to the
wounds of the little sufferer, and today
the dog is. still patient. Further
more, 1t does not care to leave and Is
reported to be singularly quiet and
resigned sufferer that does not disturb
other in its moments of pain. The only
fear expressed by some OF the staff
is that the four legged patient may be
killed by kindness.
