i | | 10 WORDS FROM HOME Statements That May Be Investigat- ed. Testimony of Bemidji \ Citizens. When a Bemidji citizen comes to the front, telling his friends and mneighbors of his experience, you can rely on his sincerity. The statement of peopel residing in far away places do not command your confidence. Home endorsement is the kind that backs Doan’s Kidney Pills. Such tes- timony is convineing. Investigation proves it true. Below is a statement of a Bemidji resident. No stronger proof of merit can be had. ‘W. A. White 1023 Dewey Ave. Be- midji, Minn., says: “I certainly can recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills, for I know from experience that they are a remedy of merit. I have used them for lame back and kidney complaint and have always received good re- sults. I have obtained Doan’s Kid- ney Pills from Barker’s Drug Store. They always take away the soreness and lameness in my back and regu- late the action of my kidneys.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

FACTS ABOUT RETIRED ROLLS Contaln Names of Four Lleutenang Generals, Nelson A. Miles Being the Ranking Officer—Adna R. Chaffee's Courage. BY GEORGE CLINTON. Washington.—Today there are om the active list of the regular army only three officers who saw serv- ice in the Civil war. Brig. Gen. Daniel H. Brush hag retired within a day or two and with his retirement the last general officer of the army who saw Civil war duty passed from the scene of fleld duty. There always has been a dispute as to whether Maj. Gen. Frederick .Dent Grant, who died & few weeks ago, had & right to be oconsidered a veteran of the Civil war. Grant was under fire in the sixties, but it has been held that he obtained that distinction only because of his somewhat adventurous boy spirit which led him to wander away from his father’s headquarters to be made the target for some soat- sbots of the enemy. The "ounjer @rant was not sworn into the service during the Civil war. Four Heutenant generals are car- rled on the retired rolls of the United States army. The ranking officer whose name appears there is Nelson A. Miles, One year ago General Miles, T1 years old, was thrown from his horse while riding on the Potomac driveway. He was badly hurt and for & time fear was entertained that he might not recover, but today he is up and about, and apparently is fit for another campaign, {f such were neces- sary, against elther the Sioux, the Nez Perces, the Arapahoes, the Kio- ‘was, the Pawnees, the dheyennsl, the hlmk{ut or the Apaches, for with the braves of every one of these tribéa the general has measured cunning and strength. Chaffee’s Bravery at Santlago. Adna R. Chaffee is & lleutenant general on the retired list, ranking be- tween Generals 8. B. M. Young and John C. Bates. His civilian garb can- not hide the soldier figure, and if the evidence of form were not there, Chat- fee’s face would show that most of his life had been spent In the open, and moreover in a position of com- mand. When he was a colonel Chaffee was in command at one part of the fleld in front of Santiago where the bullets were flylng thick enough to make the situation uncomfortable, Captain Lee, & British army officer Who had been sent to Cuba to watch the operations of the war, and who of course was a noncombatant, wrote a story about the fight in which he sald that noth- ing was more magnificent than the courage of Col. A. R. Chaffee on that occaslon. Everybody under orders ex- cept Chaffee took such cover as could be obtained. The colonel turned to Oaptain Lee, who seemed reluctant to consider that seeking cover was the proper thing, and said: “You had better get something in front of you. There is no use being killed at this stage of the game.” Lee took to cover, but in telling the story he added: “I'noticed that Chaffee refused to fol- low his own advice.” There are many major generals on the unlimited retired list of the army. The name of Daniel E. Sickles leads all the rest. Within a short time the two officers who were next to bhim in rank for years have died. They were Major Generals Oliver O. Howard and Wesley Merritt. General Sickles not only heads the list in rank, but he Is the oldest of the retired major generals. He was born Octo- ber 20, 1825. Chaplains on Retired Llst. There are twenty-one chaplains on the retired list of the army, and of these five were retired because of ais- ability received in line of duty. Sev- eral of the retired army clergymen en- tered as privates of volunteers and after belng mustered out at the close of the Civil war entered daivinity schools, graduated, were ordained and then felt the call to enter the service in a capacity somewhat different from that In which they had previously served. Colonel Stephen G. Dodd, Francis H. Weaver, Delmar R, Lowell, John H. Macomber and Orville J. Nave en- tered army life as privates of volun- teers and later were given appoint- ments as chaplaing In regiments ot the regular establishment. It should not be- assumed hastily that, because the active list of the prmy shows the presence of the names of few soldiers of Civil war service, there are not many veterans still con- nected with the army who could un- der proper provocation give a good account of themselves in the ffeld, cer- tainly in a directing capacity. There are scores of fine old soldiers, retired by the exigency of age, or of dis- gbility which by this time may have disappeared, whose names still appear In the army lists and whose appear- ance justifies the statement that they would not be averse once more to pleeping under canvas and to taking to the saddle. There are two retired lists known to the army. One is called the limited list and the other the unlimited list. On the latter are borne the names ot officers to most of whom retirement has come because they have reached the age of 64 years. The limited list Includes those who have retired for disability or at their own request aftes thirty years of active service. . —— [ ST D .
