Fifty years ago today Gen. Jubal 4
Early. who had withdrawn to the shen-
andoah Valley his column Of about H.
90 troops, after menacing Washington,
made good his retreat. concentrating his
forces south Of Winchester. 10 await the
next development in the movement OF
the Federals, who had pursued him to
that point.
The stage was now set for q series OF
rapid, Kaleidoscope movements in the
Valley Of the Shenandoah, with heavy
forces pursuing each other in turn,
through several months. up and down the
celebrated valley turnpike, that already
had been termed the race course Of
armies
The Federal pursuit Of Early had
proven a failure Although the Federal
troops engaged in the pursuit in the
aggregate greatly outnumbered Early's
force, they had been unable TO combine
for effective action. This was partly due
to the position OF the various Federal
commands when the pursuit began, and
partly TO the character of the scene OF
operation, which favored the retreating
party.
Following Early's retirement from be-
fore Washington on July L the scene
had been quickly transferred from the
open country OF Maryland. north Of the
the valley. which was like long. wide
lane between hedges with exits at
either end and several on one side Cthe
easO and a broad stone highway down
the center. Here 1t was possible for
skilled commander to play hide and seek
with pursuing forces. Conditions at
the time Of Earlys retreat favored such
q game.
Euemy on Two sides.
The lower end of the valley. which
ends at the Potomac River, was held
by the Federals at Maryland Heights
and Harpers Ferry. Down the east side
of the valley flowed the Shenandoah. with
various ferries and fords in front Of the
passes of the Blue Ridge-the gaps In
the mountain hedge to the east.
Through these gaps and across this
stream lay the routes from Washington.
By one Of the best Of these, that via
Smokers Gap and Castlemans Ferry,
Early had come into the valley after his
raid, reaching Berryville on July IL,
while his rear guard beat back force
Of about 10000 men under Gen. George
Crook that had been sent up from
Harpers Ferry to attack him. Another
and larger force under Gen. II. @.
Wright. about 1900 men Of the Sixth
and Nineteenth Corps. which had fol-
lowed Early from Washington, had come
ur too late TO strike blow.
Temporarily safe in the valley, with the
between him and his pur-
suers on the east, Early had nTw only to |
look to any force that might come up the |
valley west of the Shenandoah from the !
Potomac.
Such a force appeared OIL July 10. II |

A Kansas farmer has solved to his entire salts
faction the question of whether it pays to raise beef
cattle high-priced farming land. He recently
marketed a carload of 7oo-pound yearing steers in
Kansas City at S8S5, or more than $50 head.
He raises most of the feed on his own farm,
and realized handsome profit, because no doubt,
he used intelligent methods. If farmers generally
would follow his example, it would mean an ap-
preciable relief from the beef shortage. Prices would
probably be lowered to extent but there would
still be good margin of profit for the producer.

sons absence, and not seeing him in
the yard, she became alarmed. and
called the neighbors for assistance
In finding the little one. No trace
OF him could be found until Mr.. Wolf

or his little feet protruding from a
boiler that had been placed under
the hydrant, containing a small
amount OF water. 1t would appear
that the little fellow was playing
around the boiler and losing his bal

there being hardly enough water in
the receptacle to cover his head, but
striking on his face and being I'M
able to extricate himself he persisted
before help could reach him.
The little form was carefully lift

erything was done to revive 1t the
efforts were OF no avail. Little Lew
Is Thomas was about eighteen
months old, and the pride OF the
home, and the anguish of the fond
parents over the tragic death of the
little one is hard to imagine, but In
their deep sorrow they have the pro-
