Morgan's Historic Raid Placed Under Analysis

The public opening at Lexington,
KY, Of the old home Of Gen. John
Hunt Morgan, daring Confederate cav
airy leader, serves to recall his spec
tacular dash into Indiana and Ohio
and the controversies that ragged about
him and his comparatively small band
Of followers in the dark days Of the
Civil war.
''Morgan's Raid" as the event has
gone down into history, was chal-
lenge to odds as great as any man
faced in that long-drawn-out conflict,
when the Kentucky general, at the
head of not more than 1,50O men,
crossed the Ohio river into states vir-
tually alive with Federal troops. From
Indiana, through a combination Of
good tactics, good luck and good fight
ing ability, Morgan lodged and cut
his way through the southern part Of
Ohio to the banks of the Ohio opposite
Virginia. there to be hemmed In and
trapped when a swift and unexpected
rise Of the river prevented him from
crossing, says the Kansas City Star.
It was a feat Of daring and skill
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1931-01-30

perhaps uneQualed in the five years
of warfare.
In a way, those Of the North who
regarded Morgan as guerrilla leader
were about as nearly right as those
who regarded him as regular Confed-
crate cavalryman, subject to the or
ders, rules and regulations of the high
er Confederate officers and the Rich
mond government AS a matter of
fact, Morgan was neither. He was
Morgan-neither guerrilla nor regular,
but an Independent force allied to the
COnfederacy.

Hea1thiest

ARTHUR had bad case of measles"
saws Mrs. Clara Gillian, 4137 Bow
dom ST., Des Moines, Iowa. 'He
was having q hard time until l gave
him California Fig Syrup. 1t regu-
lated his bowels, seemed TO give
him new strength and energy.
81 have since used it for all his
colds or upsets, and it has helped
make him the healthiest boy know"
For over fifty years, mothers have
praised California Fig Syrup. Doc
tors advise its use when children are
bilious, headachy, constipated; and
to keep bowels open during colds or
upsets. Every child loves its rich,
fruity flavor. 1t is mild in action.
Look for the name California when
buying. That marks the genuine.

Evolution of "Cossip"

A gossip was originally godpar-
ent, from the Old English godsibb,
meaning "akin" or standing in rela-
ton to-" Gossip soon came to mean a
friend or acquaintance, either of the
parents of the child baptized or of the
other godparents, and hence women
friends of the mother present at birth.
The transition of meaning to an idle
chatterer is easy.

Use of Secret Service

It serious charge made by Representative Lorng Black
New York that the President used secret service to
discover the authors of washington and
that he used them before that investigate the work Of
newspaper in other fields.
The charges will have to be substantiaed before there
the criticism Congress and elsewhere that such action
the part Of the President would deserve
When Theodore Roosevelt President Congress suspected
him Of using the secret service to obtain unfavorabe facts
about the private and public lives Of Senators and Repre-
senave Congress hereupon limited the duties of the secret
service to counerfetg activities and to guarding Presidents
Since that day the duties of the secret service have been

These German marks believed to be valuelesA
which may account for their being unclaimed But what is to
be said about the of thousands Of dollars Of American
money and Of Liberty and other bonds who deposited them
the banks years ago and have not been heard from by the
banks since?
After these accounts have lain dormant for at least IL
years the Commonwealth attempts find the depotorS and
it fails approprates the deposits The annual search
Quoted largely by advertising, is under way.
You probably imagine yourself depositng any con-
siderable Of money which, because Of negligence on
would pass into the possession Of the State But
the owners Of these unclaimed deposits were no doubt "
confident you that they their families would regain the
money
