REMENBERING ~ GETTYSBURG Now York i.bout to Place on the Battlefleld & Beautiful Statue of Victory, WAR'S SHRIEK UPON THE SKIRMISH LINE A Narrow Reeapo—Tmpnise the Dattlefleld Motor—Tnstdions Whisky—General Jar- o Dylng—~Other Army Notes, Caspar Buberl, scuitor, who designed the monumont to be erected by the state of New York to her fallen sons on the battlefield of Gettysburg, said that tho casting was ready to be seen by the ac- coptance committeo. The figure is 13 fect 9 inches high and the whole monu- ment from base to top will be 96 feet in height. At its foot are four alti relievi, bent drum-shape, representing respec- tively General Sickles wounded, the death of General Reynolds, General Han- cock wounded and General Slocum sur- rounded by his staff. “Victory,” as the statue is styled, is ropresented by a female figure of pen- sive mien, holding floral wreaths with which to decorato the graves of the dead. She leans on a staff surmounted by the liberty cap which is present in the arms of the state of New York. She wears an empire belt on which is a soli- tary star, emblematic of her being one of the stars of the union, and on her girdle is the motto “Excelsior.” Below the column aro trophics consisting of flags, cannon, shields, the coat-of-arms of the state and the corps badges of the New York regiments which were en- gaged in the memorable battle. The Henry-Bonnard Bronze company began work on the statue February 27, and it was to have been ready for ac- ceptance June 21 by the committee, con- sisting of General Daniel E. Sickles, chairman; Major Generals Slocum, Jo- seph B. Carr and Charles A. Richard- son ana Josiah Porter, adjutant general of the state of New York. The statue was shipped June 22, reach- ing Gettysburg next day, in plenty of time for its unveiling, which took piace July 1. Its weight 185,000 pounds, while the total costof the monument is $65,000. A Vivid Portralt of Close Contact Musketry. ‘Wo get the word and deploy in front of the regiment—a line of men from ten to fifteen feet apart—aud advance across the old field, says a writer in the De- troit Free Press. We know whero the enemy is—in the green woods on the far side. There is fear that he is massing a brigade there, and that the first seen of him will be a line of battle sweeping across the field. We know where his skirmishers are—behind the fringe of bushes on the other side of the creek, half a mile in our front. Over tho fence, across the level, down the slope, and ping! zipp! ping! come the bullets from the hidden skirmishers, Ah! a man down—two or three of them! If dead we can do them no good; if only wounded they must crawl away to the rear or lie quivering and groaning in somo of the hollows until we are re- lieved. Our side of the creek also has its fringe of bushes, and at intervals there are rocks and logsand stumps. Like cats we creep forward, like cats we crouch behind cover and peer over the logs or to the right or left of the rocks. “Pop! Pop! Zip! Zip! Thud! Thud!" A hundred men on each side are blaz- ing away, and the heavy bullets, fired almost at random, strike the logs and stumps with a muffled thud or smash against the rocks to be flattened like wafers and drop into the grass. That bullet was fired by an old veteran. Ial- most felt the burn of it as it whizzed by my cheek. That one was fired by a re- cruit who is probably on the skirmish line for the first time. It went at lenst twenty fect above my head, droning like 8 huge bumble beo, and it will fall among the troops far to our rear. Who uttered that scream? The man on my right is safe—the one on my left has turned on his back. His cap has fallen off, and there is blood on his head and face. Heis not dead, not even fatally wounded. A bullet plowed his scalp s he looked out from behind his cover to find a human target for his bullet. Ho cried out with the burning pain, but he muttersand curses and seems ashamed of his weakness as he feels for his hand- kerchief and binds up his bleeding head. The man opposite me is not over sixty foot away, but so screcned that I cannot see him. I can judge of his position, however, by the line of his fire. - All the bullets which come whizzing by the rock to the right, and all those which smash against it with a sound to make your teeth grit, are from his musket. Those which cut in from the left or pass over are random shots. By accident I have the captain’s feld glasses. I dvaw them from the case, rub up the lenses and cautiously level them from the left-hand side of the rock. For a few seconds I can see nothing but a blur of foliage. Then the details begin to come out. There is a stump among the tangle on the other bank, and as I hold the glasses on ‘it T catch sight of an elbow and a shoulder and a hat. A musket:barrel is thrust forth and a sheet of flame darts over the creeping blackberry bushes, and ‘“‘smash!” comes a bullet against the rock. There is no mercy in war, From the skirmish line to the rush of a divi- sion it means cripple or kill, Ilay down on the grass and pick up my musket. I reach up and pul‘7 at the limbs of & bush to form a screen, and then carefully arrange for a dead shot. Now that I have located my man I can follow his movements with the naked eye. 1 have notfired a shot for five min- utes, and he is emboldened. He argues that I have been killed or wounded or driven away. Ho fires at the man on my right and then at the one on my left, and I know that the third one will come my way. 1am ready, with my finger on the trigger and eye glancing along the sights, when the elbow appears in view, It is a small mark to fire at. Now the shoulder is pushed out—now I sce the hat—now the head and half the body is uncovered., In his anxiety to get sight of me or learn myv fate "he is taking chances. Kill him? Why not? He is secking my life. He is my enemy! I enlisted with the object ~of kifilng. There is no trembling—no quickening of the pnlses—no flutter of the heart. I cannot look into his eyes, but [ imagine them fastened on mine as I pull the trig- ger and peer under the smoke. There is a shout—a hand is thrown up and my enemy falls backward to fire no more. Dead, or only wounded? What mat- ters at? A Bold Flight, The brilliant exploit of Captain Btrong, of the Belle City Rifles, Second Wisconsin regiment, in” escaping as he did from the confederates, into whose clutches he unfortunately fell, was the theme of congratulation on the part of every one who knew the gallant captain's worth. When he enlisted as a union soldier he was a student in Racine college, about 21 {onr- of age, well buily, and very agile and active. He was regarded in college as the best runner, jumper, ete., and withal an excellent shot, as well as & popular comrade of the students. Of his re- markable escape he says in the Grand Army Gazette: “As I wus passing through a thicket 1 was surrounded by six rebel soldiers— four infantry and two ocavalry. The footmen wera poorly dressed and badi armed, having old rusty altere muskets, while tha cavalry were well mounted and well armed. “Seeing T was caught [thought it best to surrender at once. So I said, ‘Gen- tlemen, you have me.' I was asked sov- oral questions as to who I was, where I was going, what regiment I belonged to, ete., all of which I refused to answer. One of the footmon said, ‘Let's hang the d— Yankee scoundrel,’ and pointed to o convenient limb. Another said, ‘No, let's take him to eamp and hang him there.’ One of the cavalry, who seemed to be the leader, said, ‘We will take him to camp.’ They then marched me through an open place —two footmen in front, two in tho rear, and a eavalry man on each side of me, I was armed with two revolvers and my sword. Aftor going some twenty rods, the sergeant, who was on my right, noticing my pis- commanded me to halt and give them up, together with my sword. I said, ‘Certainly, geatlemen, and imme- diately halted. As I stopped, they all filed past mo, and of course were in front. ““We were at this time in an open part of the woods, but about sixty yards to the rear was a thicket of undergrowth. Thus everything was in my favor. I was quick of foot and a passable shot. Yet the design of escape was not formed until I brought my pistol pouches to the front part of my body, and my hands touched the stocks. The grasping of the pistols suggested my cocking them as I drew them out, This I did, and the moment I got command of them I shot down the two footmen nearest me— about six feet off—one with each hand. I immediately turned and ran toward the thicket in the rear. The confusion of my captors was apparently so great that T had nearly reached cover before shots were fired at me. One ball passed through my left cheek, passing out of my mouth. Another one—a musket ball —went through my canteen. “Immediately upon the volley the two cavalrymen separated, one to my right and the other to my left, to cut oft my retreat—the remaining two footmen churging directly toward me. I turned when the horsemen got up and fired three or four shots, but the balls flew wild, T still ran on, got over a small knoll, and had nearly gained one of our pickets, when I was headed off by both of the mounted men. *‘The sergeant called to me to halt and surrender. I gave no reply, but fired at him and ran in the opposite direction. He pursued and overtook me, and just as his horse's head wus abreast of me I turned, took good aim and pulled the trigger, but tho cap snapped. At this time his carbine was unslung, and he was holding it with both hands on tho left side of his horse. He fired at my breast without raising the picce to his shoulder, and the shot passed from the right side of my coat through it and my shirt to the left, just grazing the skin. The piece was so near that it burnt the cloth about the size of my hand. I was, however, uninjured this time save the shot through my cheek. I then fired at him again and brought him to the ground, hanging by his foot in the left stirrup, and his horse gallopinfi toward his camp. I saw no more of the hor: man on my left, nor of the two footmen; but running on soon came to our owa pickets, uninjured save the shot through my cheek, but otherwiso much ex- hausted from my exertion.” Army Tricks and Jokes. Whisky is the soldier's weakness. Should a post be a thousand miles from civilization, stringent orders be in force forbidding liquor on the reservation, and every possiblo means taken to pro- vent its introduction and use, still the average soldier will, in one way or other, have his toddy in spite of every obstacle. Whisky has been discovered being smuggled inside loaves of bread when food was brought to the prisoners. A sentry might fill the barrel of his musket with liquor and walk his post smelling awfully like rum, but nover be found out. Prisoners returning from work under charge of the guard, carry- ing stable brooms over their shoulders, have had a flask or two concealed in the bulk part of the broom, and yet escaped discovery. + Of course everybody has heard of the sergeant who sent a green recruit out one dark, stormy night with a lantern to see what time it was by the sun dial, but has the story ever been told of “Uncle Levi,” who kept a gort of brok- erage office for the loaning of ready cash to his comrades at a high rato of interest? This worthy was a good soldier, well liked by all the com- pany, but still was businesslike in his methods and had a large custom. His dealings, however, were carried on en- tirely unknown to'the company or staff officérs of the garrison. While in camp at one time the inspecting officer hap- pened to come along, but when he ar- rived at *‘Uncle Levi's” tent, lo! there was a tripod cut from the branches of a neighboring tree adorning the front of the tent, and on the points were three ripe oranges in perfect imitation of the three balls of a loan office, ‘‘What's this?” shavply exclaimed the officer. “Uncle Levi” poked his head out of the flap of his tent, but the men stood like statues, never uttering a word, and the poor victim of the practical joke was as much surprised as the inspector. Of course, no one knew anything about the matter. The officer stood biting his lips for a moment, and then passed on without further comment. The inci- dent, however, almost broke the poor fellow’s heart, as it did his business, and never thercafter would he lend a cent for interest to anybody in or out of the garrison. A Veteran Dylng, General Edward Jardine, one of the best known and most gallant soldiers in the late civil war, whose body 18 covered with the scars of wounds received in battle, lies dying at the Hotel Pomeroy, New York, from the effects of injuries he received while fighting in defense of the flag of the union. General Jardine has been fo d to undergo nine serious surgical operations on his left leg and on each occasion pieces of bono were re- moved, until the leg is now six inches shorter than the other.= The last opera- tion was made in October of last year, but a different operation has since been serforied for a tumor on the top of the lead, caused by being struck several times with stones and the butt of a gun in the draft riots on the same day that he was shot in the leg. General Jardine has attended to his official duties as weigher in the custom house for the last twenty-four years with the aid of crutches, but twelve weeks ago he was obliged to give up, He is wasted away almost to a skeleton and it is not be- lieved he can survive more than a few days. The Reunlon at Superior, | Everything indicates that the reunion in Superior the last day of July and the first four of August will be by far the largest attended and most successful re- union yet held in the state. As for famous speakers, there will be no lack of these, Commander Adams having al- ready received affirmative replies from the following, to whom invitations had been sent, viz.: General A. G. Weisart, national ~ commander-in-chief, Grand Army of the Republic;.General A, H. Church, department commander, Grand _ Arm, of the Republic; Hon.* John TIngalls, Atchison, Kan.; Hon. W. P.

A canvass of the boarding and lodging houses at Indianapolis by the Grand Army committee shows that 20,327 per- sons can bo accommodated in the lodg- ing houses and 25,307 can be furnished meals there during encampment week. The private boarding houses can furnish meals to 19,975 people at 25 cents per meal, while 4,800 will be cared for at 30 to 50 cents per meal and 472 at 50 cents and upward, The hotels will care for 15,000, The committee will erect bar- racks to provide for 20,000, and the halls, school houses and other places of similar character will be used. The political club houses will be utilized for barracks, and the committee already sees its way clear to shelter 100,000 visitors. Contraband Pork. There is nothing that brings back to an old solaier’s mind reminiscences of soldier life more vividly than a terrific thunder storm at night. He instinctively pulls his knees up under his chin and tucks his blanket more closely around him, and his mind wanders back to some of the wild nights years ago when he wore on the outside the preseribed gov- ernment harness of the soldier and on the nside patriotism and loyalty, the di- mensions of which can only be measured by the voluntary service he rendered and the sacrifice he made. He remem- bers how on such nights he stood on picket guard, the safety of the sleeping army left in his care. Captain Schaeffor of the T'wenty-e1ghth Towa infantry,” delights in recalling many incidents that occurred to break the monotony of army life, It was just about time for the pickets to be relieved in the early morning that his messmate, who was on duty, discovered a bevy of fine porkers and immediately they began to think of some scheme to secure one of the animals, without interference with orders they had not to do any in- discriminate firing. Finally the captain suggested that he would shoot one of them; that it was not necessary to make a big noise, but he could do it quietly. He therefore proceeded to fill the cavity in the rear end of a minnie ball with powder and put it intohis gun carefully, then capping it. ‘‘Now,” says the cap- tain, “show me a hog at twenty yards distance and you can do the rest.” They strolled out of camp, carrying the gun in such a manner as to conceal it from view. They sighted - the hogs and the captain suddenly dropped on one kneo and a second later a little puff of smoke ascended. Instantly he dropped his gun and commenced view- ing the landscape. His companion drew a huge knife and made a quick move- ment in the direction the captain had shot. They returned to camp in a short time, each with an armful of boughs taken from the bushes, but no pork in sight. “Hello, boys, what you got?" was the greeting, but the reply, “only a few boughs to make a bed,” allayed all suspicion. A little later the air became redolent with the frrgrances of fresh fried pork and it was laughable to see all the noses in camp set at an angle of 45 degrees, with an occasional exclama- tion: “By George, don't that smell good?” Thus the soldies after being mustered into service soon learned that he was a creature of circumstances and was gen- erally governed by them, and when an opportunity presented itself, that he could, by strategy or otherwise, get con- trol of circumstances he would rarely let it slip. e There are toree tmngs worth saving— Time, Trouble and money—and Do Witt's Littlé Barly Risers will save them for you.

Unique und Deadly Fued Between Two Nevada Cowho; One of the most unfortunate affairs that has ever come to the notice of the people of Carlin, Nev., was the unique tragedy that shocked the community on the ovening of the 8th, when Westly Hickerson, a cowboy, was lassoed and dragged to death by George Rice, a friend and companion. Further details show that the killing, - though ap- parently unintentional, was accom- plished in the most onrn\'od fashion of thesIndian of the ?'el low-covered novel. Tho scene of tho tragedy was on Dunphy's cattle ranch, abouttwo miles from that place. The ranch is an exten sive one and gives constant employment to a small army of cowboys, whose duty it is to look after the immense herds of cattle on the ranch, 4 Thursday afternoon a trainload of cat- tle was received at Carlin from Arizona and a dozen or more of the vaqueros were sent to town to unload them and drive the cattle to the ranch, The cattle were unloaded and driven into the large railroad sto¢k eorral and the boys rode up town to indulge in a few drinks be- fore beginning the homeward, dusty drive to the range. The cattle being disposed of the boys rode into camp. During the evening Rice and Hicker- son began playing pranks on one an- other. Hickerson went to Rice's bunk, took his pistol and threw itintoa stream running * close by. Thereupon Rice swung his lasso and caught Hickerson, declaring he would drag him into the creck and hold him there until he found the pistol. He was prevailed upon by his companions, however, to release Hickerson. He thea said he would quit work and leave the ranch, He and Hickerson sat down together to figure up how much money they had borrowed from or loaned to each other at dif times and to settle up. This matter was adjusted amicably and _they agreed to call it all square, and Rice mounted his horse to vide into town for the purpose of seeing Mr. Fal the foreman, and to notify him of his intention to leave his service and r © what was due him, He had covered perhaps half the dis- tance to town, when, for some reason, he wheeled his horse and started back toward the camp. It is presumed he had thought the matter over and con- cluded not to quit work, Hickerson saw him coming, when, withouta word to his companions, he mounted his horse and started out to meet Rice. They ad- vanced until within about fifty yards of each other, when Hickerson pulled his revolver and began firing at Rice. Rice leaned over on the opposite side of his horse, Indian fashion, and began oircling around Hickerson, at the same time undoing his lasso, and kept gradu- .“fi drawing nearer to Hickerson. ickerson had fired three times at his opponent, but owing to Rice's maneu vers had failed to hit either horse or rider. In the meantime Rice had drawn close enough to his assailant. He straightened up in his saddle, whirled THE OMAHA DAILY B his lariat around his head, and in & second the Jariat had settled around his vietim's body and Rice was wildly dash- ing toward the gamp, dragging the now helpless man over the rnvfisnm\ through the sagebrush, + The menin the camp were horror- stricken at the sight, and before they could rush to thé assistance of the poor fellow Rice had reached the camp. It was but the work of a moment to undo the lasso, and it took but a glance at the bruised and battared face of the unfor- hm?w young man to tell that life was extinet. . Rice, however, could not believe that his victim was dead, and wanted to ride into the town for a doctor, but one of the cowboys said the best thing to do was to send for the foreman and the sheriff. R —— THE COST OF SILVER. An 0ld Miner Goos Into Detalls as to What it Really In. A question was asked the other even- ing by one of a party of business men as to the cost of producing silver, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. One gentle- man said he had seen it estimated as low as 25c an ounce. Another calculated at the expense of breaking the orc and treating and refining it. Still another sald it was now costing the Granite Mountain upwards of 80c an ounce to put iton the market, without making any allowance for interest on the investment. A mining man of several years'experi- ence listened to these replies in an amused manner. The crowd saw that he was being entertained, and asked for his views. k{e smiled as he replied that they were all making the very general public mistake of placing the cost of sil- ver at the expenseof getting it out of the ground, after the mine had been found and doveloped. “You would not,” he said, “‘put the cost of a pair of shoes at the cost of the leather and the labor involved in cut- ting and sewing.” One of the party was a shoe manufac- turer, and the illustration was so pointed that he readily assented to its correctness, “Then,” replied the mining man, ‘it is not just to figure silver as you have done.” ‘‘Here,” he said, taking a vpiece of parer and a pencil, wo will start at the heginning and get an idea of the cost of the world’s silver. It is not measured by the value on the market today, I can tell you before we go any further. You will all admit that before we get any silver we must have the deposit, and after we have located the deposit we must have the mine. First, then, to locate the deposit. At a low estimate 60,000 prospectors go into the mountains every spring. They ave each grub- staked. They must cach have a mule, steel, picks, powder, provisions and a Winchester rifle. We will say these grub stakes cost 350, and I can assure you thatis nota high aver- age. There you have an outlay of $21 000,000 and the prospector has not y taken the first step toward locating a deposit. He goes into the mountains and Js there an indefinite period. He may return inn week or month, His time is worth $3.50 a day, or in the ag- gregate $210,000 a'day. And yet you have not produced an ounce of silver or had any sign of-it. To be conservative we will say half of this army of 60,000 men is out a n of four months of twenty-six working days each. There 0,000 men at $3.50 a day for 104 day Figure that out and you will find you have an expense of $21,000,000 for outfits and $10,920,000 for time, $31,- 920,000 in all, aid ab the best you have only a lot of prospect holes, the value of which you know: absolutely nothing. It would take the year’s product of a couple of bonanzas to pay this, and yet you will find thesa figures are at probably an impossible minimum. Half of the army of prospectors remaining outis very small. “Now we come to the expense of get- ting & mine, and on this we cannot figure ith any degree of satisfaction. The mining country is dotted with prospect holes which never amounted to any- thing. They represent money which was simple{,m-ned up, and which must be charged to some account. We will say, however, keeping on a safe mini- mum side as before, we have 5,000 pros pects. On these $2,000 to 810,000 are ex- pended in developing them sufficiently to deccrmine whether they will pay for going into more extensive workings. You can eat up $5,000 very quickly in de- veloping & prospect. Say we put the av- erage at $3.500 for the 5,000 prospects, you have the total of $17,500,000 laid out in preliminary explorations and a grand total of $49,420,000. We will say that 4,000 of these prospects are then abandoned, and the 1,000 are further de- veloped at $5,000 more, an addition of $5,000,000, & total of $54,420,000. Out of these 1,000 developed prospects you probably have 100 which are sufficiently promising to warrant the expense of putting up a plant of machinery. This plant and continued development means #20,000 more, $2,000,000 added to your, £54,420,000, or $56,420,000. Of these 1,000 prospects, now dignified by being called mines, possibly half a dozen be- come dividend payers. This looks like figuring down very small, but in reality half a dozen reliable dividend payers is a very big average as a result of one season’s prospecting. They must pay back this immense sum put out in find- ing a silver deposit. *'So much for the preliminary cost of silver. The most of the silver product of the country comes from the prospec tor, and is sent to market at a loss. Fully 80 per cent of the silver ore sent to the smelters is taken outat a loss. The difference is made up by syndicate mem- bers or stockholders of companies who live on in hope of reaching a dividend basis. It is taken out in following un- profitable ore bodies. Thesilver product of 1892 actually cost something like #2.50 an ounce. In a })ockc'. deposit, like the Mollie Gibson, for instance, sil- ver may be produced at 23 or 3 ounce. It 1s a good deal like mining coal, But the regular vein mines are paying all they ‘get for their product n' getting it ‘out. One farmer may raise* wheat' at 12 cents a bushel, but that dan't make wheat profit- able at 15 cents. :And yet this compari- son is not a fair one,’ as there is not the preliminary expensé in locating and pre- paring wheat lands., The land is there in sight. It needs-only to be plowed and planted. But artér ‘the mine has been found and develgped you have your roads to make, which is equal to prepar- ing the land for a crop.” ‘Of course,” mdded the speaker, as it was suggested that this was not the true cost of silver, “'the cost of silver to & company that buys 8 developed mine is the expense of taking out and treating the ore. But fuppose, in search for a mine, you develop a half dozen prospects, cast them aside, and take hold of ono already developed. You expect to make profits that will pay you back what you have lost, as well as interest on your money. Mining is a gamble, Furu and simple. There is one chance n a thousand that you will have pay ore. Your profits must be sufficient to com- L)eunnw for the risk. You must get ack your money on Y99 losses, or if not on your losses, then on the public losses. Consequently, the cost of silver must in- clude the general cost of prospecting and doveloping. You might be luoky enough to buy a cargo of sugar for 2¢ a pound, but that doesn't make sugar cost cents an 20. You might be lucky enough on your first break to get a rich pocket like the Mollie Gibson, but that wouldn't make your experience the guide as to the cost of silver.” P — Ruoniog with a Human Trolley, The novel sight of a man taking the place of the Lrnl{v yon an_ eloctric car was scen on the Lake Roland Elevated railway of Baltimore. The trolley on one of the large electric cars, in cross. ing Lexington street at North otreet, had its trolley wheel caught in the wire, and the entire trolley apparatus was torn off, falling to the street. The ac- cident happened ata time when travel over the road was heavy, and it was nec- essary to prevent a blockade. Lineman William Scott was equal to the occasion. He procured a piece of insulated wire, and after strip- ping cach end of the insulating material connected one end through the car roof, and, standing on the top of the car, held the other end against the trolley wir A connection being thus made the car was run over the elevated structure to the car barn at Walbrook without acei- cident to Mr. Scott or delay to the other cars. Mr. Scott’s position was a novel one, and startled persons who are un- used to electricity, as he stood on top of the car amid myriads of sparks and illuminated by lightning-like flashes from the the trolley wire. ——aa Busy peopie have no time, and sensible peoplo have no inclination to tse pills that make them sifk a day for every dose they take.

Our world is spinning through space at a speed of over 1,000 miles per min- ute. Should it come in collision with a globo of equal size, going at the same rate of speed, what would be the result? The very best thinkers of the age tell us that heat enough would be generated by the shock to transform both of the col- liding bodies into gigantic balls of vapor many times their present circumfer- ences. Some have thought that in case the center of the earth is composed of s0lid and colder matter than is the gen- erally accepted belief this might not b the case, but an eminent scientist says ‘‘Should such an unheard-of event occur the heat generated would be sufficient to melt, boil and completely vaporize a mass of ico fully 700 times the bulk of both the colliding worlds—in other words, an_ice planet 150,000 miles in diameter.” COMMERCIAL AND NCIAL NOTES.
