Gettysburg 1863-1912


army of the Potomac, commanded by
Major General George B. Meade, and
the army Of northern Virginia, com.
manded by Major General Robert E.
Lee, met west Of Gettysburg 10 battle
array to measure their steel, one to-
sever the union, one to preserve 1t.
The conflict was contested most
bravely by both sides, the army OF the
Potomac falling back through the
town with unbroken ranks towards
the university heights, where Gener.
al Meade established his lines of de-
tense and General Lee established his
lines on q ridge between the town and
Meade's lines, taking the offensive,
the two armies resting on arms
tbs0ughout the night. Early ON the
morning of the second daysGeneral
Lee commenced the battle by attack
ing the third corps, commanded by
General Daniel E. Sickles who held
his lines at the peach orchard. At
this point the battle became general
all along the lines and the conflict
was most terrific throughout the day,
the army OF Meade holding their lines
unbrOken, Lee gaining no advantage.
The field was covered with wounded
and killed OF both sides, which proved
1t to be, a most terrible carnage.
Thus ended the second days conflict.
On the morning Of the third day
Lee opened the conflict with a deter.
mined effort to break Meade's line.
The fifth corps held the left of Meade's
line-of battle at Round Top mountain,
holding Longstreet In check, 1t being
the key TO Meade's line Of battle.
The fore part of the day was fought
out with great hss on both sides, both
officers and men. ~
The carnage stopped for twoor three
hours when General Pickett moved
out from belt Of timber on Lees
right with strong column aud closed
In by divisions to attack Meade's CEN
ter. His brave columns were almost
annihilated by Meade's terrific fire.
Lee covered this movement by, all OF
his artillery. THE ended the third
day Of = most terrible and bloody sac.
riiice. but the union was preserved.
During the night Of the third day
Lee withdrew his defeated but brave
army from that bloody tisld and re
crossed the Potomac. The following
morning Meade, with his victorious
Army Of the Potomac, left the most
important battle tieldof the Civil war.

HORSE ChEWS TOBACCO

Cottonwood Falls, Kan, Oct. 23.-Frank Brown, local furniture dealer, has six year-old black horse named Bill" which has recently become habitual tobacco user. So keenly has the animal come to enjoy the weed that every time his master drives down town the horse expects his allotment of fine cut" and is greatly dis appointed unless it is forthcoming.
 Any variety of fine cut is his favorite but he will chew plug tobacco if given in place of the other. It is no unusual thing for ''Bill' to eat one or two packages of tobacco at time, and he would readily use up half dozen of them were they given to him. His owner believes that a package of tobacco every few days will do no harm and may be a good thing to help keep horse healthy, which is the reason he indulges "Bill' in his whm.

Dickeson of the White Pass & Yukon route that his com pany plans to build two large ocean going steamships which will be placed on the run from this city to Skagway next spring When these new boats are placed on the run the White Pass will have through line of their own from this city to Fair banks
 The two boats will be combination yes 5els, built to handle the passenger traffic and also to carry freight. The ships will cost at least half million dollars each and will be modern and well fitted up in all departments. They will be constructed with a view of obtaining fairly good speed, but no expense vii. be spared in the ef forts to make the boats as comfortable as possible.
 President Dickeson stated today that the officers of his company are well pleased with the patronage accorded the new boats }laced on the Yukon river on the run to Fairbanks Though the extension was an experiment, it was justified, and the serv- ice to Fairbanks will be increased as busi- ness warrants. He also stated that further reductions in rates quoted by his company may be made this year as the through service will allow q cheaper rae than for merly, when the White Pass was forced to patronjze ancther lire on the ocean run and Lad to pay their rates on the run be- tween Skagway and Seattle
