Killed In Battle.
Most OF the statistical tables, all
compiled from War Department rec
ords, place the total number killed
lit battle at from $4,000 to $4,000. A
statistical exhibit compiled in 1885
under the direction Of Adjutant-Gene
al Drum, however, shows that 67 600
were killed, which is higher even
than the figures Of irresponsible com
puters during the Civil War period
The total number seated TO have
dled from wounds is $4,000, and no
statistician varies far form that fig
TIRE. More than $4,000 died IN pris
uns
The Confederate losses are largely
ccnjectural. Official data are avail
able for only a few of the great bat
ties Of the war
Until recent years Northern writ
ers have declared that the Confeder-
ate losses eQualed the Union losses,
although Southern statisticians al
ways have insisted that the Union
losses were one-third greater. Con-
servativc estimates place the Con
federate losses above 100000, which
would make for total cost Of tho wa,
in human life nearly 700 1000, or moro
than one-sixth Of the entire forces
OF both sides.
Gettysburg tho Climax.
Ihe greatest loss of life in any one
bate Of the war was at Gettysburg.
where 1884 Union men were killed
IL the three days fighting and at
least as many Confederates fell dead
For the two days the battle at Antic-
tam ragged the cost in human life was
even greater in proportion.
In treasure the cost of the war was
terrific. Tie South was laid waste
and lost virtually everything. But
while the North saw little OF the &C
tual rayages Of war, it lost ia dollars
and cents sum SO staggering that
IN comparison the financial loss Of
the South was trifing In the four
years Of strife the national debt leap
ed from S65,OOO,OOO to s2,756,O 900 900.
The nation has paid in interest on
tEat debt an even greater amount.
Nearly 100000 has been paid in
pensions on account OF the war.
There is more than s1O,O7s, 900 900
as the cost of the Civil War to the
nation, and there are several billions
yet to be paid, to say nothing of the
loss to the South and Of the paraly.
sis OF industry and the s,ackening Of
the producing power Of the entire
country With the money spent for
this war the North could have bought
the freedom Of every slave and had
enough left to pay the entire peace
expenses Of the country for more than
half a century.
OF the nearly 100000 men who
wore the blue or the gray in that IT,
tanic conflict fewer than 100000 are
alive today. More than 100000
sleep In the great gtarlit abbey that
stretches from the Atlantic to t.
Pacific and from Canada to the Cult.
They are being Joined by their com
rades or one-time foes at the rate OF
100 day.
Actuaries say that the last veteran
Of the Civil War will die in 1910,
which will be 75 years after the last
veteran enlisted But the probability
IS that there will be several OF him.
Twelve Revolutionary soldiers were
alive in 1864, which was 80 years af-
ter the limit for enlistment. At the
close OF the Civil War five were alive.
-Four years afterward all were dead.
BY that token there will be Civil War
veterans on earth in 1850.

tween the Lavalley block and Brigham's

ed his clothes. His nose was badly cut
and his face scratched. He was found
by Edward Carron, who was at work IN
the stable. The embankment is about
Is feet high. Mr.. Gadue was uncon-
scious when Mr.. Carron found him and
Doctors Heath and Hill we're summoned

word for the payment is good, but says
he had the backing of his mother. When
he was questioned by the presiding judge
on this phase Of his case, which was up
for consideration following his plea Of
guilty, young Farnsworth said he did not
realize that he was committing serious
oifense in offering money for his release.
He was sentenced to the house of cor
rectoin for not less than one nor more
than two years and placed in the hands
of the probation officer.
After young Farnsworth had been ar
raigned and pleaded guilty to the charge
of forgery, States Attorney Poulin read
in court letter which he received from
the boy, written on house of correction
stationery, in which the proposal was
made that for s25 the prisoner be given
his liberty; he was ready, he said, to
sign any papers which might be neces-
sary to satisfy the state officials that
he had no intention of skipping the
state, once he was free.
Farnsworth admitted that he forged
the name of Mrs Prichard of Castleton
to orders on the John |. Fennell store,
obtaining goods.
