We see mJkWhe same thing-here every a'4B Populists who insist that there is no prosperity in this county should compare the number of sheriff sales published now and those of former late years. With a George Washington as candidatefor alderman of Boston, John L. Sullivan still holds the front seat in his ambition to be the greatest man. John aspired to be ma'or.

Ox Tuesday-, January 25, the business men who met at Indian apolis last January and author ized the appointment of a mone tanT commission, will meet for the purpose of considering the com mission's report. Speaker Reed is still considering the invitation recently extended to him to attend the banquet of the fiftieth anniversary of Girard col lege, Philadelphia, in January. If he can possibly do so he will at tend and make an address. At the national board of trade meeting last week resolutions were adopted favoring a one cent rate ot postage. In case the letter pos tage were ever reduced to one cent it is likely that the postal cards would go as they always have. Postmasters must have something to read. While congress is devising ways and means for the releif ot Yukon sufferers, it occurs to the average person that the proposed appro priation of $175,000 or $250,000 as are found in two different bills in tended for the same purpose, that it will cost about that much to in ducea courier to undertake the trip. J. W. Daniel, democrat of Vir ginia, was elected to the United States senate last week. He may imagine that he has sought the lion's den before many days, but not with the meekness that charact erized the Daniel of old no demo crat of the free silver stripe could do that.

The Anglo-Continental gold syn dicate, of Great Bntian. has en tered suit against William C. Bash ford and Daniel B.

Merely a fifty thousand dollar gold brick deal of which a victimized yankee would hardly make mention in public. Theodore Durrant, the murderer of Blanche Lamont. has received his fourth sentence to be hanjred. which is set for January 7. From appearances this, it seems, will be the last scene in the famous career of this now notorious man. The prisoner is said to be in no wise discouraged, yet through law there is no apparent means by which he can escape punishment. The custom of granting divorces "while you wait," is likely to soon be checked, and the one thin which has caused so much unfavor able comment against Oklohoma removed, if the bill now before con gress becomes a law. The measure is calculated to regulate and unify absolute divorce cases, which is a much needed reform in nearly all of the states; however, this bill is especially directed to Oklahoma where it is sometimes difficult to find any established rule or law by which diyorces must be obtained.

This reduction is based upon the claim that the there has been a sudden falling" off in the business of the road, and that the rolling stock of the company is all in good condition, wherefore there is no ne cessity of keeping the shop force at work on full time.

The Gothenburg Independent says: Jimmy Hicks of North Platte was given one year in the peniten tiar3r for horse stealing', while Rawlins, the man who killed Hutch ison at Brad3' Island was turned loose.

The mail clerk in throwing" the mail off at Vale, a small station just west of Boone, Iowa, struck the switch stand, breaking it off below where it was locked, and this allowed the switch points to open so that when No 1 came thundering" along" at sixty miles an hour the engine passed safely over, but the train took the side track, and in consequence the entire train was turned over on its side. Fortunately the worst acci dent to the passengers was the breaking" of one man's hand. Awarded Highest Moncrs World's I-asr, Gold f.tedal, Midwinter Fair.

Book rights reserved. R A N K L I N (fought Nov. 30, 18G4) was, for its proportions," the Krandest battle of the war. This is the esti mate of the hia torian of tho Ar my of the Cum berland and biog rn nh 01 nf ifs great command er, Thomas B. Van Home. Van Home wroto his history of the Army of the Cumberland at the request of General Thomas from Thomas' private journal and other doc uments furnished by him. In concluding his summary of Frank lin Van Home says: "The salient fea tures of tbi3 battle were the position and action of tho two brigades posted in front of tho main lino and the gal lantry of the Third after tho enemy had carried tho intrenchments ou Carter's Hill. " The brigades referred to were Conrad's, Lane's and Opdycke's, con stituting Wagner's division of Stanley's Fourth corps, and the trenches ou Car ter's Hill, carried by the enemy and re covered through the activity of Op dycke's brigade, were in the Twenty third corps' line. Opdycke s brigade, in charging forward, recaptured eight guns seized by tho Confederates m the bro ken Twenty-third corps' line. General Thomas said that- the battle of Fraukliu saved Nashville and that tho battle of Franklin itself was saved by Opdycke's brigado of Stanley's Fourth corps. Usiug the same course of reasoning, General Stanley saved the battlo of Franklin by bis activity and firmness during the preceding 24 hours The forces engaged at Fraukliu. the Fourth aud Twenty-third corps, be longed to tho army of General Thomas, who was at Nashville. The two corps were acting as 0110 body, and General Schofield, commander of the Twenty third corps, was in command. Thomas had ordered Schofield to march 111 retro grade before Hood's army of Confeder ates from tho banks of the Duck river along tho Columbia pike, past Franklin and across tho Harpeth river at that point, with all possible haste toward Nashville. But Hood uearly spoiled tho game tho evening bef'oro franklin was fought by throwing Forrest's cavalry and the advance of two corps of infantry around SehoHeld's column on each flank aud intercepting the retreat at Spring Hill, several hours' march south of Franklin. Stanley and his corps had the lead of Schofield s column, and with an energy all too rare in the war he drove Forrest away from Spring Hill, bluffed Hood's corps and division commanders, and kept tho Confederates at arms' length, while Schofield s wagon trains and artillery and infantry of tho Twenty-third corps marched through under cover of the darkness on tho retreat toward Frank lin At daylight on the :J0th Hood again pushed forward, and Stanley's troops, bringing up the rear, kept the Confederates in check all tho way tc Franklin Schofield had no intention of mailing a stand at Fraukliu, hut in order to cover the crossing of Harpeth river sta tioned his own Twenty-third corps upon a liue around the village from bank tc bank on tue south sice He did uot expect attack on tho sonth bank, but thought that IUkhI wiiild at tempt to pass around the flanks as he had douo tho day brim and cut the army off completely from Na.-hville He took all the artillery of tho Twenty third corps with him to the north bank and a portion of tho Fourth corps artil lery Ono of the three divisions of Stan ley's corps, Wood's, was ordered by Schofield to cross to the north bank Stauloy, who was ill. accompanied Wood's corps. Tho pike along which tho army had marched from Spring Hill bisected the Twenty-third corps line of defense ou tho south bank, and where it passed through a gap was left for the move ment of wagons aud troops. At that point much of the Fourth corps artil lery was massed. Wagner's division of Stanley's corps brought up the rear aud took position two miles in front of Franklin. About 2:'o0 p in., finding his flank turned by heavy columns of tho enemy, Wagner decided to with draw his command to a position about a third of a mile in front of the Twenty-third corps center that is, where tho pike passed through the fortified line. Opdycke's brigade passed inside the works as reserve to the Twenty third corps' lino ou the pike, 200 or 300 yards in rear The interest of the battle turns upon the action of Opdycke's brigade and of Conrad's and Laue's at tho extreme front The Confederate attack, when it camo about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, was very sudden, and Wagner ordered Conrad and Lane to fight This they did stubboruly, checking tho advance of the Confederates. When at last, Do ing overwhelmed in front, their right and left flanks turned, they did retreat, they were followed with a rush by the Confederates, who felt sure that Scho field's army was in a trap and that they would drive it into the river. Yelling, BAKING "Go info the works!" they swept from tho trenches the soldiers of the Twenty third corns on each side of tho piko and captnred tho guns, which were under the protection of the Twenty-tmru corps troops. The soldiers of Conrad and Lane reached tho works with broken ranks. Nevertheless they had sufficient self control to rally and take part m tjie recovery of the line. This counter stroke was initiated by Opdycke and his hri gade, Stanley having been anticipated by just so much timo as it took for him to ride from the north bank of the river to tho scene of danger. There was no more brilliant episode in the whole war than the ride of Stan ley from the north bank of the river to tho sceno of fighting on the eouth bank. Ho was distant from Wagner's exposed brigades when they began to fire upon the advancing Confederates about one mile. Leaping into his saddlo, he gal loped across tho bridge, through the ranks of tho stragglers, his face set in tho direction of the battle. It was then 4 o'clock, and for moro. than four hours the officers and soldiers had been aware that the whole army was to cross to the north bank of tho river at dark. Retreat and not battle was in the air. But the ball was open, and the well known figure of Stanley was seen rush ing to the front. Without waiting for orders Opdycke had set his brigado in motion to recover tho guns and parapets abandoned to tho Confederates. Spur ring his horse forward and striking and shooting right and left, ho set tho ex ample for his officers and soldiers. Two regiments were at his heels deployed, two were in tho second lino, and three were in the rear line. Just as tho column was under way Stanley camo up upon its left flank. Seeing that Opdycke, riding at the head of the center of his brigade, was charging to recover the lost works, ho gave him no order, but rode forward with the third line. The melee that en sued between these seven regiments, joined by tho stoutest hearted of Con rad's and Lane's soldiers, and tho Con federates was close and deadly. Prison ers and flags wero gathered in, tho guns recovered aud turned upon the Confed erates, and tho works wero retaken and held. Stanley's horso was killed under him, and he himself, while swinging his hat to cheer ou his men, received a most exasperating wouud from a bullet which ploweU a gash three inches in length across the nape of his neck close to the spina Ignoring this painful, not to say dangerous, hurt, ho remained on tho ground until the lino was reorgan ized, Opdycke's brigade and the rallied troops of Conrad and Lano in the recap tured works with the guns in their pos session, confidence restored all along the line and victory in sight, if not already complete. Next to the persoual bearing of Stan ley and Opdycke and the conduct of Op dycko's regiments, interest centers upon the action of tho troops under Conrad and Lane after retiring from tho ex treme front to tho Twenty-third corps' breastworks. General Opdycke, in a narrative printed in 1881, said: "General Stanley added his effort to rail under a very heavy liro of musketry the scat tered troops to the support of tho men at the regained works;' also. "Lano had held some of hi3 men to the works. " Goneral Thomas' official report of the battlo says that Stanley was "se verely wounded while engaged in rally ing a portion of his command." General .1 D Cox, commanding the Twenty-third corps, states in his offi- GENERAL I) S. STANLEY". cial report that Stanley arrived 011 the scene at Carter's Hill "in timo to take an active part in the effort to rally Wagner's (Uourad's aud Lauo's) men:" 'The most strt'iinous efforts, "says tho Fame document, "wero mado by nil tho officers alone that part of tho line (tho broken line near tho pike) to rally tiio men and were so far succcssftal tlint tho imo was quickly re stored on tho left of the pike. ' The works adjoiuing the pike on tho left wero where Conrad's men crossed. That olticer's report says that his troops halted inside tho works and would have rallied, but the men of tho Twentv- third corps, stationed there, became panic stricken and commenced to leave. Conrad's own men then became shaky and commenced retiring, but soon ral lied and went back to tho works and fought until all was over Courad com manded six regiments. The colonels of each of these regiments reported in detail that their men halted, formed aud fought at the main lino. Colonel Lane stated in his report that delay and confusion were caused in get ting his men into the works by tho abatis m front, but that five out of his 6is regiments formed quickly behind the works and fired a volley at the Con federates closely pursuing. The colonel of the Ninety-seventh Ohio, of Lane's brigade, reported that the abatis broke up his lino, but that tho men formed inside the works, doubling upou the Twenty third corps ranks, and then oc curred confusion in the commands. ' In support of these statements the colonel of tho Ono Hundredth Ohio, a Twenty third corps regiment stationed at the pike, says that Conrad's men came over the works and filled and crowded tho trenches. To relievo tho pressure ho ordered tho Fourth corps troops (Conrad's) to fall back and re farm at the second liue, which order his own men misunderstood aud themselves fell back The accounts taken together show that while there was alarming disaster there was also gallant recovery and glory enough for all George L.
