Until midafternoon Grants plans went
wrong. Sherman was gaining no ground; !;
Hooker had been delayed four hours re-
building a bridge over Chattanooga Creek
At p. m. the battle seemed no nearer
won than in the morning. Yet Hooker
surely must be nearing Rossville by that
time. Therefore Grant ordered Gen.
Thomas to advance and take the line
of the enemy's rifle pits at the base Of
Missionary Ridge. He did not expect
the troops to go beyond those rife pits,
believing that the assault there would
enable Sherman to perform his work
The battle line was formed Of almost
3, 900 men of the Army of the Cumber-
land, it being composed Of the divisions
of Gen. Absalom Baird OF the Fourteenth
Corps, Gen. Thomas ]. Wood and Gen.
Philip H Sheridan-then fighting for the
first time under the eyes OF Grant OF
the Fourth Corps. in oSder from left to
right and on the extreme right two bri-
gades of the division OF Gen. R. W. john
son Of the Fourteenth Corps. Baird, Wood
and Sheridan had three brigades each,
making fourteen in line, in this order. left

Phelps, Ferdinand Van Derveer, John B.
Turchin; under Wood, Gems. Samuel

Wagner, Charles G. Harker, and Col.
Francis 7. Sherman; under johnson, Col
William L. Stoughton, commanding Gen
John H: Kings brigade, and Gen. William
p. Carlin.
The troops had stood all day under
arms, impatient for action. With the
word OF command they moved out on
the plain. in solid lines. as II on parade.
Less than half a mile in their front was
the enemy's line of rifle pits.
Upon these, after passing through a
thin grove they rushed across plain
at double quick. The Confederates. who
all day had watched the heavy Federal
columns ready for battle, made slight
resistance Some threw themselves down
in their trenches; others fed.
The impetus Of the charging Federals
carried them over the trenches and their
recumbent occupants and on to the base
of the ridge While the rear ranks halt
ed to make prisoners of the occupants of
the trenchest the front kept on. In some
cases their officers tried to restrain them.
r. Charge without Orders.
None OF the generals had orders q

pected ITEM to reform their commands

ther orders Finding the trenches un-
tenable, because of a storm Of grape
and canister the Confederates now poured
into them from the crest, and that the
men were rushing on up the slope. the
brigade and division commanders were
in a quandary.
Gen. Sheridan ssnt back to his corps
commander, Gen. Gordon Granger, to ask
II he should go on. Word came back
that he might go on II he thought an
assault practicable.
There was no time to consider whether
1t was practicable or not The soldiers
were making it SO, whatever theory their
officers might hold as to their chances OF
success.
Grant, standing on Orchard Knob, saw
the Irresistible rout with amazement
Turning to Gen. Thomas IN asked If he
had ordered the charge Thomas said
that he had not. Grant and his generals

In the three-days' battle at Chattanooga
found the Federals under Grant victo-
rious, after breaking the Confederate CEN
ter by an unprecedented eAarge up the
steep face OF Missionary Ridge, and
Braggs Confederates in disoeyerly re-
treat into Georgia.
The Confederate army's only hope now
was to reach>a strong position IN which
its rear guard might make a stand to
save the rest
Bragg had been outgeneraled and out
fought Grant had superior numbers. but
the Confederate position, along Mission
ary Ridge, had been counted impreg-
nable to direct attack. The Federal COM
mander had conceded it TO be so, and
had sought to take it by flank attacks.
His troops, exceeding the expectations
even of the officers who commanded them,
in the impulse of battle had wiIled other

OF course there is no such thing as
oven frying. but many kinds of food can
be satisfactorily Drowned in the dry heat
Of the oven in such a way as to take the
place OF fried food.
For one thing, croquettes can be baked
instead of fried. The croquettes should
be formed several hours before they are
to be used, and then dipped in beaten
egg and cracker crumbs. They should
then be Drowned for about ten minutes
in a hot oven.

Panic had seized the Confederate army
and its retreat began in a stampede
The story of the final day at Chatta-
nooga to the Federals was one Of the
most brilliant in the annals of the war.
1t was a day of exaltation Of the private
soldier, as well of the pageantry of war
on the gTandest scale
From the heights on which they stood
intrenched the Confederates looked down
in the morning, through air of crystal
line clearness, upon the wide valley held
by the Federals, as upon relief map.
At their feet was the level of the plain
at the foot of Missionary Ridge Beyond
were the advanced positions won by the
Federals on November 3, now line OF
bristIing trenches, with Orchard Knob,
a commanding height crowned with can
non, near the center.
A mile beyond were the heavier works
that defended Chattanooga; then the
town, with acres of tents in open space
great parks of wagons, empty now, Tor
the siege since September q, the result
of the less of Chickamaugas battle, had
pressed heavily upon the Federal army.
Beyond the town the Tennessee flowed
in yellow flood southwark until II
neared the rugged base of the sloping
end of Lockout Mountain. Thence, be-
yond fiat Moccasin Point, il coursed past
Lookout Valley. and on northward. to
make another great bend beyond the dis
tant Raccoon Range.
The Federals now held the river to
the town, for on the day before their
forces in Lookout Valley, under Gen
Joseph Hooker, had pushed back weak
Confederate line on the shoulder OF the
mountain, and had opened communication
with the forces before Chattanooga
On the extreme right of the Confed-
crate position, where the. north end of
Missionary Ridge ends in a gully, artil-
lery of Bragg's army thundered ars<hat
Of 4 heavy Federal force under Gen w.
T. Sherman, which the day before, had
seized a bold hill facing the end Of the
ridge, and intrenched themselves there.
The Confederate line was no longer a
semicircle about Chattanooga; its ends
had been clipped, and the fortunes Of
the Confederacy in that part Of the
South rested on tie center. If that stood,
thought Gen. Bragg, all was well; and
that it could be carried by assault
seemed to him among the things called
impossible.

Grants operations on November % and

Correctly judging that the attack would
fall most heavily upon MS right, against
which Sherman's guns opened early in
the morning, he began massing his
greatest strength there.
Breastworks Of logs and earth had
been erected in the night to strengthen
the crest, where the ridge dropped away
abruptly toward a gap under which the
railroad passed by ttnnek
That was the key to the situation, for
back of the tunnel was the railroad
line that brought Bragg's supplies from
his depots in the rear. If the enemy
reached the railroad he might be cut
off from his supplies and line Of retreat
Sherman hurled his columns at the
slopes early in the morning only to see
them beaten back. Again and again
he sent them forward in the charge.
Each time they failed to carry the point
of the ridge.

OCALA PEOPLE ENTITLED
TO CHEAP ELECTRICITY
Ocala, Fla, Dec. Is, 1913

Ocala, Fla, Dec. Is, 1913
Editor Star: The splendid show
ing made recently in a report from
our light and water committee. where
the net earnings. from the electric
Light plant amounted TO thousands
of dollars a year, also the water
works is showing a net earning dur
ing the short time the city has own
ed 1T. In view OF these facts, our
city council should reduce the rate
lat once for lights to six cents: for
cooking. heat and power to three
cents a kilowatt. The net earnings
would be still large enough to take
care of outstanding bonds and allow
for depreciation of the plant.
| believe the water rate could be
reduced some, yet this may be too
soon to undertake it, but it should
be done as soon as conditions justify
the reduction.
In making the above mentioned
reductions, the consumers who have
paid the high rate all these years
would reap the benefit, and in a
measure be partly reimbursed.
Lowering the rate for power would
increase the day load, also the de-
mand for power, which the plant can
take care of just as we'll as not, and
at the same time increase the earn
ings for daylight operation of the
plant.
1t is hoped that the council will
take action Immediately, as the peo-
pie are justly entitled to a lower
rate. NJ.
