Curious Bits of History Connected with Bars and Stars, The flag of the confederacy, or rather the flags of the confederacy, had some curious bits of his tory at- tached to their brief existence, On March 5, 1861, the provisional con- federate congress recommended that “the flag of the Confederate States of America shall consist of a red field, with a white space extending hori- zontally through the center, and equal in width to one-third the width of the flag.

Broadway is now in a miserable condition, and the street cats are greatly hempees by the sewerage ditching machine, which extends en- tirely across the street at Third, and interferes with both travel and traflic, The streets are covered with mud to a depth of several inches in places, from the track improvements, and when the street roller gets on the thoroughfare the climax is capped. In brief, Broadway now looks like Cairo. Pe te) Some people have a funny idéa of “Uncle Sam.” The other day the cook for a certain North Side family entered the family room and said: “Missus, whut am all dis ty’k I hea’s "pout Uncle Sam !'’ “He’s gone to war with Spain was the reply, “Gone to wa’, has he? Well, ef he wants to fight, let ‘im fight, but it’s sho’ sin, 1 hea’d so much ‘bout dis Uncle Sam, dough, dat I fought he might be dead or ailin’, sumfin wuz gwine to happen to him! a , Capt. J. Moore says one of the slickest thieves he ever heard of was over in Illinois, He made a trip there not long sinct and found one little place fraught with cxcitement. There had for sometime been a thief there who had stolen anything and everything he wanted, and with im- punity, for no one couid ever catch him, ard not even a clue could be secured. One day, however, & man saw a well known vbaracter of the place deposit something under bis barn. He waited until after the man left, and going to the place, found seversl new shirts that had been stolen be- fore. He was not long in notifying several of the citizens, and a trap was setto catch the thief. The place where the shirts were was under the barn, and the only way to reach. them was by feeling down and then back, under @ sill, There was no possible way for the man to see the shirts, although be could easily reach them, The citizens inspected the shirts, and being satistied, set a huge bear trap on them. When the thief arriv- ed to remove his plunder, there was no possible way for him to keep from placing his hand in the trap; at least that was their conclusion, It was set, and developments were awaited with interest. The next morning both trap and shirts were gone, and there was not the slightest indication that the thief had the smallest trouble in getting them. While the name of the man was known, they had no proof against bim, and concluded that there would be no hope of ever convicting such a shrewd thief, At last accounts be was still at home, and there were occasional burglaries-whenever the man needed anything. ae Oe 4 The people should turn out tomor- row and see the soldiers off.

Stephen Chain is his name, and he was at work on the boat, = He came up town this tioruing and got drunk, and going back to the boat was dis- charged by the mate, who told him to go up stairs and get his money When he went up after his money, the first clerk wis asleep, and the second clerk, who was down stairs, informed bim that be did not have time to go up and get it. The negro started up stairs again, accompanied by the watchman, Elmer Browning, and when up there took out his knife and proceeded to make slashes at everybody within reach. He came near cutting the mate, and finally, after being put out of the cabin, re- turned, and with aa open knife, made another pass at the watchman, who at this juncture, seized a spoke and knocked bim down.
