| Fifty years ago today Gen JubaI A.
Early, one OF the corps commanders in
Lees army. arrived in front of Washing
ton with 500 Confederate infantry and
| 700 cavalry. and found that he was too
late to take the city by surprise.
The grand prize OF the war. Of which
every Confederate had dreamed, seemed
! TO lie under his hand as he had marched
his dusty veterans to a point on the
Seventh street road, leading into the city
from the north. from which he could see
the glistning dome of the Capitol, five
miles away.
While Gen. Early was trying to get his
weary men into battle line re-enforce-
ments for the Washington garrison, that
had been sent by Grant, were landing on
the wharves on the south side OF the city.
Before Gen. Early could array his men
these veterans sent by Grant were filing
into the works
For the prize thus lost before a blow
was struck. Gen. Early had striven with
tremendous energy. Since leaving Lee
at Cold HarboT on MAJ u he had march,
ed his troops more than 800 miles, via
Charlottesville, Lynchburg. and the
Shenandoah Valley, to reach the Poto-
mac, which he had crossed at Shepherds
town, on July s.
Thence he had marched by way of
the South Mountain pass to Frederick,
near which, at the point where the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad crosses the
Monocacy Rivef. he had defeated Gen.
Lew Wallace, in an all-day battle, on
July O..
Wallace. having fallen hack on Balti-
more Early had marched on July 10 for
Washington, thirty-fvs miles distant.
That night he had bivouacked near Rock
vile, less than ten miles from the Capt
tai.
That evening President Lincoln had rid
den TO his summer residence at the Sol
diers' Home, In the northern outskirts OF
Washington, not far from the fOrtifica-
tions. Rumors of the advance Of Early's
forces having reached the WaH Depart
ment. the Secretary Of War sent for the
President, insisting that he return to
Washington with an escort. Lincoln
compiled with the request. The next
morning the cloud OF dust raised by
Early's advancing forces could be seen
not far of in the bright air at dawn from
the grounds OF Lincolns summer home
Checked by 600 Men.
The Confederates marched slowly, for
the day was sitting hot. Many of Ear
ly's men were barefoot. The hard road
bruised their feet. Fine dust ehoked
them. The burning sun beat them down.
Sunstroks prostrated them.
1t was after midday before Gen. Ear
Iy riding ahead of his columns, arrived
within sight of the works on the Seventh
street road. His careful survey of them
showed them to be very strong, but as
he gazed he became convinced that they
were not fully manned.
In this conviction he was right. Wash
ington had nominally 2O.OOO defenders.
Actually II had less than half that num-
ber, and OF these a majority were either
recruits enlisted for 100 days, ignorant OF
war, invalids, home militia, or artillery
men who had never seen a gun fired ex-

Kansas Hilarity Unsquelched.

The Jamaica ginger jag will be no longer respect
able in Kansas. The Supreme Court of that State
has placed Jamaica ginger under the ban by deciding
that druggist who sells it may be prosecuted for
violation OF the prohibtory law The court also held
that lemon and vanilla extract cologne, camphor and
similar tinctures, extracts and essences are to be
classed as intoxicating liquors.
This rigid ruling OF the may be inconvenent
to the stranger within the gates who has resorted
the drug stores in Kansas, where saloons are un-
known and grape juice is barred but will not
interfere with the happiness of the native Kansans,
whose buoyant enthusiasm their prosperity has
long been one of the unexplained phenomena OF the
age. The people of Maine made an exception of
cider when they adopted prohibition and the people
in the Southern prohibition States excepted their own
moonshine but Kansas left no oopholes in her law.
1t prohibits everything in the way of alcohol even
for medical religious purposes and coca-cola
Jamaica ginger, root-beer, the various sundaes and
even the camphor bottle will have to 60
The medical experts have been trying to locate the
cause OF intoNcaton in Kansas not the visible but
the invisible source of the hilarty the Kansas people
SO generally indulge in the wheat crop the au-
tomobile the blue sky laws, and the sunlowers but
they have failed. Dr. John L. Billings noted physi-
clan of New York, some years ago offered sugges-
for believing that alcohol itself is always being pro-
duced in small quantities in the human body in the
course of bacterial fermentation; that it is in fact
normally present in the healthy organism This must
be the explanation of the condition in Kansas They
claim to be the heahiest people on the face of the
earth, claim the lowest death rate the highest stage
OF prosperity and constant state of hilarty They
even get drunk watching the waving wheat fields 1t
must be auto-inoxication the production of alcohol
in the healthy organisms of the Kansas people Will
lam Allen White is competent witness on this point
He says in recent magazine article, The effects of
alcohol a person produce loosenng of the re-
straints which hold him to conventions few drinks
make talk more, sing more, dance more
swaggcr more, laugh more, swear more spend more
firt more, and generally deport himself on a plane
rather lower than the average"
Now who scorns the conventions more than the
average Kansan, who talks more and sings more and
swaggers more over the gories of Kansas than does
William Allen White, and who hirts more with all
and conditions of politicians than Victor Muir
dock? 1t must be the -auto-intoxcaton referred to
by DR.. Billings. 1t is also economical where every

yesterday. is so important as the providing
$Isoooo for reconstruction OF the Western High
School. destroyed by fire few months ago. The
sum is not sufficient building adequate to
the needs Of the school system, but WILL least
provide partial facilities where now exist. No
time should be lost, the appropriation becomes
available, in the work of rebuilding. The cy's high
school facilities are far below requirements and
while ii may be impossible, to have the new building
ready for occupancy this autumn, it should be opened
10 pupils at the earliest possible moment.
