hour Of severe cross-e1amination. the
chief purpose of which was to show
not a change in the location because
OF cost, but to block the construction
Of any other road through the creek
valley at the point Of the hill in ques-
ton next to Wheeling creek Many
maps, confusing to one not familiar
, with civil engineering and the nature
Of the territory involved, were used
! in the examination.
v. B. Sommerville, now Of Detroit, a
civil engineer for the Pennsylvania
Railroad company, followed Mr. Nor
gan on the stand. He testified at
/, length of the frequency of changes in
railroad locations. which he declared

Might JeoPardlze Plans.
On croSS-eXamination, when asked
by Attorney McCamic who had sug-
gested that he become an incorporation
Of the Wheeling Coal railroad, and
when. he replied that 1t was Vice
President Plank Of the Pennsylvania
the incorporation of the Wheeling Coal
road. The Wheeling Coal road acuvi-
ties. he said, began when we learned
that our plans might be jeopardized
BY some other concern" Previous to
making this statement he had insisted
that the Pennsylvania road for several
years had in mind the construction OF
a road up Wheeling creek valley.
Deputy County Clerk Willis H. Mar
shall was the first witnes in the Wheel
ing Coal railroads defense yesterday.
He produced records showing the
granting OF power OF attorney for the
Wheeling Coal railroad to ]. B Som
meryille in Ohio county June and
the fling Of notice Of the same with
the secretary Of state on June Z. He
read into the record a deed made by
Nelson c. Hubbard. special master,
conveying to the Wheeling Terminal
Railway company the holdings Of the
Wheeling Bridge 6 Terminal COM
pany, including the survey Of the old
Wheeling and Harrisburg railroad.
The clerk also testified Of the grant
ing of power Of attorney by the
Wheeling, Ohio and Eastern road to
McCamic {; Clark on September 7
and identified the charter Of the
Wheeling. Ohio and Eastern RAILROAD,
ing Coal road, read from his minute
book the records of the organization,
showing the adoption on May Is Of
the route surveyed for the Wheeling
and Harrisburg road.
Gen. Riley Testities.
Gen. T. S. Riley testified that in
1882 he secured rights-of-way and OPP
tions for the Wheeling and Harrisburg
railroad and identified seventeen pap
ers bearing his signatures as options
which he helped secure.
Silas Davis, farmer, Of Webster
district, testified that as far back as
1882 engineers staked out a railroad
route through his farm. placing stakes
for a center line and side lines. But
they never built the road,' he added.
It is understood that one ground
of the petitioner for asking of its
right.of-way title. will be claim that
railroad organizations must make CO..
tain progress in two and FIVE years and
that the failure Of the Wheeling and
Harrisburg railroad and its successors
10 follow up its plans in the specified
time invalidates the charter and hold
ings.

add to the horrors and miscries en-
dured by his people. Therefore, after
the battle of Five Forks, he opened
negotiations with Grant and on the
morning of April 9th, under the bud
ding apple trees of an Appomatox
orchard were determined the terms Of
peace which were formally written
down at the Wilmer-McLean house in
the afternoon.
When General Robert f. Lee wish
ed to make some marginal notes on
the papers of the final surrender, he
asked the bystandcrs for pencil.
Strange to say, not one of the num-
crous officers and aides-de-camp was
able to offer him one. At last, an
officer of Lees staff extracted a poe
ket inkstand and feather quill from
his kit, and with the aid of these the
historic document was written and the
names of Grant and Lee affixed at
the bottom.
Afterwards an effort was made to
arrest and indict Lee for treason, but
Grant, who knew Lees nobility Of
character and how he had fulfilled to
the letter all the surrender obliga-
tions prevented any such disgraceful
sequel to the great event. The Birth
Of a Nation will be seen for four per-

One of the most striking scenes of
"The Birth of a Nation" is the sur
render Of Lee at the historic Mclean
home in the vicinity of Appomatox
court house.
Donald Crisp is cast for the role Of
Gen. U. S. Grant, while Lee is enact
ed by Howard Gaye. The members
of the stats of the northern and
southern commanders are shown, and
the tableaux presented when the
scene opens is a reproduction Of the
familiar painting of this occasion. 1t
occurred April 9, 1866.
Lee had dressed for his last public
occasion with great care. Grant on
the contrary lacked his full dress and
appeared in the fatigue" and dusty
jackboots of the hard campaign.
1t is well known that many sup
porters of the defeated Confederacy
wished to prolong the struggle by
means Of a guerilla warfare similar
to that used by the Beers toward the
close of the Anglo-Boer war. In fact
John Wilkes Booth supposed that in
killing President Lincoln he would
have the support of the South in a
new struggle. But Lee was Of diff
ferent temper. He realized that the
South had been beaten in a fair strug-
gle on the fields of battle and that
prolonging the fighting would merely

Drafts feel best when we are hot

most dangerous and the result is
Neuralgia, Stiff Neck, Sore Muscles
or sometimes an attack of rheuma-
tism. In such cases apply Sloan's Lin
iment. It stimulates circulation TO
the sore and painful part. The blood
flows freely and in a short time the
stiffness and pain leaves. Those suf-
fering from Neuralgia or Neuralgia
Headache will find ore or two appli-
cations of Sloan's Liaiment will give
grateful relief. The agonizing pain
gives way to a tingling sensation of

SKINNED MILK HARD DIET FOR
YOUNG CALVES
Indigestion Often Results-Nature's
Food Best-Some Remedies

Calves raised on SKINNED milk are
usually runty, pot-bellied, and suffer
indigestion. Whole cows milk is
perfect food for the calf but SKINNED
milk is not. When the fat is removed
a substitute is sometimes made by
adding a handful of flaxseed meal or
corn meal, but this sort of fat is not a
full substitute for butter fat.
II is still a debatable question
whether it pays in the long run to
rob the future COW by stunting the
calf for the sake of immediate profits.
The practice of taking the calf imme-
diately away from the cow is the
usual thing in the diaries and, as
suming that it is an economical thing
to do, the question is how to feed
calves on artificial food and keep them
growing properly. ~.
During the first few weeks the calf
is not capable of digcsting normally
any food save whole cows milk. If
he must subsist on skinned milk,
little flaxseed meal or corn meal had
better be added to the ration. The
milk should always be given warm
and never when it is frothy. Calves
should never be given enough skim
med milk to entirely satisfy their
hunger. If indigestion develops they
should be kept on short rations for a
dav or two. If scours develop little
formalin added to the milk, combined
with a restricted diet, will usually
control it within few days.-George
Fl. Glover, Colorado Agricultural Col
lege, Fort Collins.
