Caster Plctured by One of His Followers. “Poor Custer!” eaid one of his men through the Sioux City Journal, “I fol- lowed him through-a great part of the war of the rebellion as a private soldier. I followed him afterwards in various capacities during his warfare on the frontier. Yes, and today if I should sce the general astride his Kentucky thor- oughbred, seated as no man ever sat horse before or since, should I catch the glint of the sun on the mighty sweep of that saber of his, and sce the yellow hair flying straight as he dashed along, 1 couhf not resist the temptation to seize @ poker or a hatchet or an ax handle, jump astride that old mare of mine and follow him for better or for worse. “And no soldier of Custer’s ever did more than follow him. He was a leader of men—not a driver—a cavalier general who asked no man'to go where he dared not take the lead, and as the danger be- came greater Custer was just sure to be just so much further in front of his column. Tacticians had censured him for that, and perhaps he would have been with us today had he abandoned it. But he was a dashing soldier and would rather charge upon an enemy outnum- bering him twentv to one than seck vantage ground or lay siege. He be- lieved it to be his business to fight, and he let few opportunities go by, provided he thought the enemy worth his mettle. “Custer had the most unbounded faith in the rank and file of his regiment, but he never reposed the least confidence in his subordinate officers. He gave his personal attention to the minutest de- tails of his command, saw that every trooper had his full allowance of rations and clothing, and saw, too, that the men attended just as carefully to the physical wants of their horses. He would never take the word of captain or lieutenant on such matters. - For that reason the subordinate commissioned officers hated him as heartily as the men loved him. He insisted always on being absolute in his command. ‘‘But how the boys loved that man, Their devotion was fittingly demon’ strated in an incident in the general’s last battle, on the Little Big Horn. The 200 troopers knew they were hopelessly outnumbered by an enemy better armed than them- selves. Eightcavalrymenbrokethrough the Indian lines and gained a neighbor- g bluff. They were practically out of danger, for the fino horses which the Beventh was then equipped with could laugh at the best Indian ponies. But they halted on the bluff, and looking bacl, saw their leader hemmed in on all sides by the savage enemy. “One of them said: ‘iioys, we can't do this!" and, alighting, he placed his carbine against his horse’s head and shot him dead. Then he quietly re- leased his revolvers from the saddle, and, thrusting them into his belt, started down the slope. The remaining seven followed suit, and the little band was annihilated in an attempt to gain their leader’s side on foot, All but one were killed, and he, being a half-breed, the second son of Theophile Brugier of this county, by his first wife, the daugh- ter of War kagle, escaped tlaughter, the infuriated Sioux paying no attention to any but palefaces. ~ Brugier and 1 were friends, and he told me the inci- dent the second day after the fight.” Veteranu at Poker, Poker was much played in_eamp both north and south during the intervals of active warfare. When Colonel Len A. Harris of Cincinnati was left by Buell in chavge of Fort McCook to cover the union retreat,heand his officers beguiled the time with a game of draw. One day, i:nt as the deal for a fat jack pot had en finished, a confederate shell came crashing into the room. Out went the lights. Everyone dashed for the door. An aid, who tells the story,captured the stakes and hastily thrust them into his kot. Outside all was confusion, ut Colonel Harris got the handful of men safely out, After a hard ten days' march, during which no one took off ‘his clothes, Harris joined Buell's army. “The first thing T did,” says the aid, *‘was to hunt for a bath, and I and Cap- tain —— found one. As he unbuttoned his coat for the first time in ten days he thrust his hand into his inside pocket and pulled out five cards. At the same time I produced the jack potstake. ‘I've 0t un ace full,’ he said, skioning out his and, ‘Give me the pot.’ I turned it over to him. But I don't believe a jack Ppot was ever won under such circum- stances before or since.” General Forrest, one of the most fa- mous cavalry officers of the confed- eracy, used to be fond of relating how, after the surrender, he returned to Memphis with his wife and only a $10 bill in his pocket. “Mary,” he said to her on the night they reached the city, 1 know you are a church member and have always been opposed to cards. But this $10 bill is all between us and the r house. Won't you let me go and unt up nlgamu of draw and won't you Ppray that 1 may win®” In vain the good lady protested. The eneral went, found & party and began e finme. The cards ran his way fiom the first, His winnings grew s0 large that he sot his beaver on the floor and used it as a depository. About 2 o'elock in the morning he lifted \lq the tile, bent his head down and placed the hat mrnfnlly on it, retaining the money. “Mary,” he eried, as he burst into her room, “‘count that!" and, behold, a heap of greenbacks fell into her lap. She found there was upward of 81,5600 there —enough to give the couple a new start in life. “'T believe,” the general used to say, ‘‘that Mary, in spite of her objec- tions, 1eally prayed for me while I was gone."” Colonel David O, Hoaston Dend. Colonel David C. Houston, lieutenant colonel of engineers corps, United Statesarmy,died tast week at the St. Vin- cent_hospital, Detroit, of jaundice. He was 58 years of age and a native of New York. Two weeks ago the colonel, accom- cnnhul by a woman known as Mrs. Minnie Porter, went to the Lverett house and were asslgned to scparate rooms and Mrs. Porter passed as his neice. Each did much drinking and the hotel people refused to supply Mrs. Porter with liquor after learn- ing of the amount she was consuming. On Friday last some of Colonel Houston's friends called at the hotel and found the army officer in such a condition that they at onee sent him to St. Vincent's hospital, but the woman kept up her debauch, procuring liquor outside the hotel. On Sunday her con- dition became such that the house phys cian had her oved to Bellevue hos- bital, where she was placed in the aloe- hol ward. Before leaving the hotel the unfortunate woman told the housckeeper that her home was in Tennessee, and her husband, son and daughter were living there At the hospital the said that the woman could not. [David Crawford Houston was born in New York city on December 5, 18 He was graduated from the United States military academy in 1850 and was retained at the academy as assistant professor of naty and experimental philosophy until Septein- ber, 1857, when he was placed on the con- struction of fortifications at Hampton Roads, Va. From 1856 to 1860 he commanded a detachment of engineers in Oregon, after which he assistant engineer in the c struction of forts on Sandy Hook. During the war, as first licutonant of the engineer corps, he aideggin the construction of the defenses at Washington City. He was at Blackburn's Ford and Bull Run as engineer of General Tyler's division and as chief incer of the I'irst Army corps in the of the Rappahannock. Ho was with the Third Army corps in the battles of Bull Ruu and Cedar Mountain, after which he was brevetted captain, He became chief engineer of the First eorps in the Army of the Potomac, in the Maryland campaizn, and was engaged in the battles of South Mountain and Autietam, where he was brevetted major on September 17, 1862, He was in charge of the defenses of Harper Ferry and of the Departmentof the Gulf during the siego of Port Hudson, La., in March, 1863, for which service he was brevetted lioutenant colonel on June 17, 1863, He took part in the expedition to the mouth. of the Rio Grande in 1863 and in the Red river campaign in 1864, Ho was a member of the special board of engineers for th tab- lishment of defenses for San Franc 1864-65. On March 13, 1865, he was brevetted colonel for “gallant and meritorious servico during the rebellion.” He served on the board for the establishment of defenses at Wille Poizt. N. Y., in 1865, and from 1865 to 1867 on the board tocarry out in detail the modification of the defenses near Boston, as proposed by the board of January 27, 1864, He was also superintending engineer of the construction of defenses on ansett bay in 5, of the river and mprovements in 'Rhode Island and Connecticut from 1866 to 1870, and of vari- ous river improvements in Wisconsin from July, 1870. In 1868 he was a member of the board of engineers on the Block island breakwater, on the wreck of the steamer Scotland and on the improvement of the Ogdenshurg and Oswego harbors. In 1069 he served on the Wullabout channel and in the New York navy yard. In 1871 he was given charge of the plans for docks in £o and from 1872 until December, 1875, he was engaged in constructing harbors in the northwest. He was also superintending engineer of the modifications proposed for the Michigan City harbor in Indiana in July and on the improvent of the Fox and ‘Wisconsin rivers in August, 187 He be- came major of the corps of engineers on March 7, 1867, lieutenant colonel on June 30, 1882, and since 1886 has been a member of the board of engineers for fortification and river harbor improvements.] A Sample of Volunteers. ‘While the siege of Richmond was in progress, says the New York Ledger, and after much blood had been shed in attempts to capture the Weldon rail- road,General Birney wanted twelve men to enter upon a secrot work of great im- portance and great danger. He had found his officer to command, but not the men to follow. He w recoms- mended to the —th Maine regiment: and to the colonel of said regiment he went and stated his cas T think [ have just your men,” said the colonel, ‘I have a company of lum- bermen—stout, hardy, willing fello prompt to do duty, and not a coward among them. Shall [ call them out?” gyl The company was mustered in front of its tents—forty-twomen, under command of an orderly sergeant. The captain and second lieutenant had been killed on the day before and the first licutenant was in the hospital. The general liked the looks of the men, He explained to them what was wanted—plainly told them of the danger—and asked for twelve volun- teers—the twelve that were willing to go might step four paces to the front. Not a man moved. “How!” cried Birney, in surprise, gazing up and down that line of brown- visaged, stalwart men. “Is there not one of you who will volunteer?” “Goneral,” said the sergeant, bringing his loft arm across his breast, and rest- ing the hand upon his_shouldered rifle, ‘'you mistake. We will not outbid one another for posts of honor, We are all volunteers—you have but to take your choice.” A tear of pride and gratitude glist- ened in the general’s eye. He made se- lection of the twelve whose names came first in order upon the roll; and his work was well and faithfully done, B Busy peopie haye no tiume, and sensible people have no inclination to use pills that make them sick a day for every dose they take, hey have learved that the use of De Witt's Little Early Risers does not in- th their health by causing nausea pain or griping.

Pollock, a dashing young swell of Nyack, N. Y., who disappeared two years ago because of a scandal in which he was involved with his mother’s maid, has married again. Nyack people still have a vivid re- membrance of the young man. He was about 25 years old when he left the east to take up his residence in South Dakota. He was handsome, athletic of build, dark almost to swarthiness, jolly and a most entertaining companion. He was an active member of all the leading social organizations of Nyack, a fine dancer and a general favorite. There were many rumors about tho young man’s relations with the remark- ably pretty girl wholived in the Pollock household. Her name was Ellen Ma-~ honey, and she was ostensibly the maid of Mrs. Pollock, Edward’s mother. It was not unitil the fall of 1889, however, that the Nyack gossips had anything more tangible to talk about than divers trips to the ecity, which the two young people explained as theater parties, and frequent drives on moonlight nights, which usually extended far into the morning. It was known that Mrs, Pol- lock and Colonel Alexander Pollock, the head of tho family, wersa very much in- censed at their son’s goings-on with the protty maid, but they were powerless either to prevent them or to turn the girl from the house. Therefore, when a marriage notice was published in the New York and Brooklyn newspapers one morning in 1887 to the effect that Ed- ward E. Pollock and Ellen Mahoney had been joined hand and heart was a new and a highly disagreeable impetus added to the gossiping. The parents denounced the marriage as fraudulent and drove the wife from the house, Pollock disappeared for a time, turning up in Sioux Falls, S. D., later on as an applicant for a divorce, which was granted. The new Mrs. Pollock, formerly Miss Ericsson, is described as 23 years old, a blonde, with a superb figure, classic features' and many accomplishments. She spent a year in France and Italy after Edward Pollock’s departure for the west, and returned to America but a few months ago. She went to Sioux Falls at once after receiving word that her aflianced was free from all the old entanglements, Love in the Plalsance. Cupid has begun a variegated engage- ment in the Midway plaisance of the World’s fair. Within a few weeks a Samoan has fallen heels over head in love with the Norwegian girl in tho beauty show, the priest in Cairo street is lahguishing because an American cash girl was sent away after ho had given his heart to her, and a German has had an experience he will not soon forget. His name is Carl Meinen, and in the land of his birth he is called herr baron. At present ho is employed in serving beer and Frankfort sausages in a restaurant where he can hear the lions roar while going through their performance. A week age he went to the Chinese theater. In the play a poor, down trodden Celestial, flecing from un- just wrath, is about to end his life, when the beautiful daughter of the king saves him and weds him. It was at the first sight of this daughter that Cupid began to work. His aim was true. The server of sausages was smitten. His attention to the customers was redoubled, for tips were necessary. Tt costs 25 cents to see the beautiful daughter of the king. Carl saw every performance, and his heart beat harder and harder. unday he found out the name of his divinity, It was Wong Pang. To hang around the stage door was useless, for the Chineso lived in the building. Besides, it was a waste of time, for tips had to be earned. The next best thing to do was to write a lot- ter. Hedid it. It was an impassioned sereed and told of the greatlove he had. The letter was delivercd and the tremb- ling Carl sat in front awaiting some sign. It came. Manager Sling touched him on the shoulder and told him to fol- low. Once in the coveted presence, Wong Pang informed the love struck Teuton of an ability to “talkee English likee Melican man,” to which Carl re- plied with a heart crushing smile: “Das ist zebr gut.” Those were the last words he spoke in the theater. His divinity had been sitting, but rose, pulled off the wig of the beautiful daughter and let down a long cue. Wong Pang is a man, and because they don't have women on the stage in China he impersonates one. Carl serves sausage as usual, but in a very dejected manner, and gave one customer an attack of heart disease by declining a tip. His hope in life is gone. Divorced and Remarrled, Louis Moran, son of the late Charles Moran, an important and wealthy per- sonage in the old avistocratic French circle of Detroit a generation ago, mar- ried his divorced wife a few days ago. Louis Moran, upon reaching a legal age, came into a fortune of about $250,000. He married Miss Emma Reath, a daugh- ter of Thomas Reath, The young couple could not agree, however, and June 24, 1886, his wife obtained a divorce in the Wayne circuit court. Louis did not en- gage a lawyer to make any defense. Louis is now a commercial traveler for a wholesale drug house in Chicago. One day last week he was hurrying down Monroe avenue at an hour when the streots were crowded. A lady dropped a small package and Louis picked 1t up for her, buv not until he did so did he notice that she was his divorced wife. She thanked him pleasantly. He ven- tured a few words, which she replied to in words that led to more talk, Ina few minutes he was walking with her. The marriage explains the rest ite Good Will Mission society, at the Sisseton Indian agency, South Dakota, is intensely wrought ‘and stirred over the marriage of one of the teachers, Miss Cyntia D. Itockwell, toa full-blooded In- dian, Richard King, who has been at- tached to the working force of the mis- sion for the past two years. Miss Rockwell came from Washington, where, it is said, she once reigned a belle. Since then she has had a varied career, teaching for more than the last twenty years. The last few years she has been engaged in missionary work at this place and where it seems she has at last met her fate. Among other assist- ants on the ground and in the school room was a young Indian man who has literally grown up on the grounds. He was very good looking, always well dressed, spoke English in a tolerable way, and was always considered an adept in the art of pressing his attentions on the gentle sex. A widower, for his first wife, an Indian girl, died some yoars ago, he has sinejapent h time in quest of another wifey sdth the prosent result. King, it seems, has for some time been licensed to pAfch and at a session of the Indian preshytery recently held on the reservation he applied for ordina- tion. Somg of the Indian delegates ob- jected on the ground that many rumors wore current concerning King, and which, il true! Wére not particularly to his credit. Aeocordingly an investiga- tion was ordered, which developed some rather sensational testimony. In the light of this testimony the Indians did not deem his conductaconsistent with that expected of one in his position and refused the application. It was then thought that this would end the mateh, but Miss Rockwell proved true biie ‘and refused to desert the falling for'fiines of her dusky lover. P ety BUELL GOT HIS MAN. A California Sheriff Who “Stood Off"”" a Mob Nowadays when a sheriff wants a man who has shown his ability and willing- ness to shoot he gathers a posse, stations it around the man’s house and when the criminal comes forth the sheriff shoots at the moon and the homicidal person goes off to the mountains. There was a time when they did not have this sort of sheriff in California, The San Fran- cisco Examiner tells of a big fel- low named Dave Buell, who was sherifft of El Dorado county bacl in the '50s, who had a way of get- ting & man when he went out after him, El Dorado county folks used to brag of their sheriff, although on one occasion pretty much the whole population was gunning for Buell. A fellow named Crane killed a girl over at Ringgold in 1855, and as the county had had no excitement for some months everybody started out to lynch him. The mob caught him right enough, and with that fondness for doing things in lawful fash- ion they improvised a court. The court met in a cabin near Ringgold. The prisoner sat in front of the house with his arms tied behind him. Probably 5,000 miners from Placerville and other points, most of whom had taken part. in the hunt for Crane, surrounded the cabin and made preparations for carrying out the verdict. It didn't take long for the jury in the cabinto pronounce him guilty and sen- tence him to immediate death. After the om of the times the verdict was put to the mob for approval. Of course, it was unanimously sustained. There was a little confusion because everybody wanted to get hold of the prisoner. Just then Dave Buell came on the scene. He had been out all night with the deputies hunting for the murderer, and the fact that he found him in the hands of a mon made no difference to him. His deputies got close to Crane, and then the sheriff on the biggest horse in thg county charged alone on the mob. He ran over acouplo of men and actually got the prisoner before the mob knew what was happening. He reached down from the saddle, caught. Crane by the collar, jerked him over the heads of the erowd and landed him on another horse that he was leading. i By tho time the nearest men got their guns out Buell and his -prisoner were headed out of the, crowd. Buell drew two six-shooters, big heavy ones, and as herode he struck right and left and every blow downed a man. The crowd reached for his bridle, but the sherift struck them down as fast as they camo up and presently they had got where the mob was thin and went thundering down the canon toward Coloma, twenty miles away, pursued by pretty much all the miners in 1 Do- rado county. -But twenty miles is a long way for & mob to travel in hot weather. Buell and Crane escaped pur- suers and bulléts alike, and got to Co- loma a couple of hours ahead of the lyrchers. By that time Crane was safe in jail, and the sheriff was ready to stand oftany mob. The miners had come to hang o man and not to fight, 8o they went off and held an indignation meet- ing and resolved to hang the sheriff, But they didn’t. Crane, after a trial in alegal court, was hanged according to law at Coloma with Mickey Free. The miners, instead of lynching Buell, re- elected him. e There will be serious trouble if you do not overcome thosedyspepticsymptoms. Hood's Sarsaparilla is the medicme you need. ———— ALL ARE AMERICAN CITIZENS. No Aliens to Be Found In the Crows of United States Ships. A prevailing error among a great many good people is that the crews of our men-of-war are a decidadly mixed lot as to nationality., It is quite a com- mon belief that our sailors are made up prineipally of Norwegians, Germans, Kanakas, Italians, with a sprinkling of Jupancse and the American indiffevently represented; but this is far from the truth. By congressional enactment, through the efforts of As- sistant Secretary McAdoo, when a mem- ber of the house of representatives, no one is permitted to enlist in the navy unless of American citizenship, and the sailors of our cruisers are nowadays in the main all citizens. The cruiser San Francisco has 85 per cent native born Americans in her ship's company, and the othor vessels that were in the great review were almost as well repre- sented. According to the Brooklyn KEagle it is quite a difficult matter ‘to keep up the quota of enlisted men allowed by law, as your true American seems to have a fondness for a life of liberty, hard as it frequently is to pro- cure a decent living on shore. avy sailors are a decidedly well paid, well fed class, Just before leaving Washing- ton President Harrison, at the sug- gostion of Secretary Tracy, increased the monthly wages of a large number of sailors in certain grades, and the navy pay list now compares very favorably with that of outside labor. The United States navy certainly pays its men, taking everything into consideration, much better thun the merchant marine. Bounties of three months pay are granted upon re-enlistment, and it is no uncommon thing to pay an enlisted man off at the expiration of his three years serv with several hundred dollars to his credit. Take such ratings as machinists, boilermakers, and firemen—they 4ll receive in the long run bettee pay than the average shore wage- workers and get, besides subsistence credit for service, benefits of pension, ete. Many a young mechanic who has hard work in gefting along would find it not a bad plan by any means to try a cruise with UneloBam rather than buffet it about on shorg, scratching out an un- sortain existenca.: Nearly every walk in life has ex-mémbers of our navy in its ranks. 1 personally know of a dozen police ers of good rank in New York who served in the navy, and the fire de- partment contains a number of them, A cruise will do much to educate and de- velop a bright American boy, so taking it on the whole enlistment in the navy is not a bad idea for a young man who wants to get a few hundred dollars ahead, with & little experience of life thrown in. ——— There are three Lhun worth saving— Time, Trouble and money—and De Witt's Little Early Risers will save them for you.

The fallure of Schaffer & Co, Vankers, caused a little slump of %o, Bottom was reached on July at the 68%c mark, where values stopped in a pathetic manner as if walting for next turn. Fluctuations of e were the range until along toward the close of the sesslon, when the opposing forces in the wheat pit had a sharp battle as to who would dominate the close. At68ic the price stuck until within two minutes of the close, when the bulls put vrices up e, leaving the market tuirly firm at 68%c for July. Throughont the session thore was vere 1ittle trading, wnile arguments woro plentitul. One reason assigned for the scarcely appreciablo effect of today's fallure of the pit values, 18 that SchafMor’s was u privato banking firm and did not come in dircct contact with the com- mereial world as represented by - the Hoard ~ of Trado. Asido from thls, of course, the hatural bulls say prices’ are too low, ‘anyway.: It was ‘claimod | that at present rates, tho price of wheat is below the cost of production, Few, however, seemoed 10 have the courage of their convictions.
