"I rJ with considerable Interest In The
Bee. Sunday, the story of the rls of Gen
eral Chaff;," gald Jack Andrews, ah old
tima comrade of Chaffee, who enllstrd In
the "Baby Sixth" cavalry at the same time
Chaffee did In the fall of 1SH1.
"Chaffee won hla chevrone and shoulder
straps through sheer merit and no man In
the reglmi-nt was better liked than he. One
thing about Chaffee wag that his rise to
the rank of a commissioned officer never
welled his head a particle, lie always
waa loyal'to his comrades In the ranks and
never let an opportunity slip to. show his
appreciation for them.
"Immediately following the civil war the
Sixth cavalry was assigned to duty in
Texas and was In 1S71 trnsferred from
Texaa to Kansas and relieved the Seventh
Cavalry at Kort Hays. Colonel James Oukes
waa In command of the' regiment and the
march was made overland from Fort Rich
ardson, Texas, via Fort 8111, Indian Terri
tory, and Fort Harker, Kansas, to Fort
Hays. The march was made In the spring
of 1871. and In crossing through the Sweet
water btntotns, Indian Territory, we had a
hard old time. H had been raining for sev
eral days and the roads were In bad shape.
It was as much na the homes could do to
plough through the bottomless roads, and
on one oocnslon we had to take the mules
from the wagons and pull the wagons out
by means of the big picket ropes, probably
100 or more men yanking hold of the big
ropes, and then the wagnns had to come.
There was an officer In . the command
named Tupper, who had as a family serv
ant a great big, strapping darky woman,
who was dead stuck on the fact that she
was Mrs. Tupper's mnld, and she ordinarily
rode on one of the wagnns. On this occa
sion everybody was ordered off the1 wagons
to lighten the loads as much as possible
while the men were pulllng them through
the mud. This darky woman refused to
dismount from the wagon and the boys re-
i'A to pull It out of the mud while she
sarvrched on top. the big load. Captain
Tupper fame- beck to the wagon, and see
ing the rebellious move of the boys, refused
to order the woman off the wagon and
threatened to moke every man of the out
fit carry- his saddle the next day If they
persisted In this obstinacy. Captain Chaffee
waa officer of the day,. and as such was In
charge of the wagon trains. He rode up
to where Tupper wss berating the men
and after viewing the situation sided with
the boys at once and ordered the darky to
get oft the wugon. She Anally descended
and had hardly touched the ground when
the boys sprang to the big rope, and with
a whoop, pulled so hard and suddenly that
the front wheels were yanked from under
the wagon. The trouble was soon remedied
and then the stalled wagon was pulled
through the mud with a will, the boys
singing "Marching Through Oeorgia" as
they . proceeded. Chaffee rode alongside
cheering the boys and cautioned them to
move lively or the darky would overtake
them."
"Just the year previous," continued An
flrewn, "Chaffee was second In command In

Sixth In the scrap, Company L, commanded
by Captain C. B. VtcClellan; Company K,
commanded by USptain A. R. Chaffee, and
Company C, by Captain Dan Madden. Mc
Clellan, who we called "Gray Eagle,' com
manded the battalion and we were fighting
a bunch of about fJO Comanches under the
notorious chief, Santank. The fight oc
curred cn Decoration day, 187a There was
a lot of renegade rebs with the Indians,
and they fought us In regular line of bat
tle. Company K, under command of Chaf
fee, took the brunt of the fight. There was
a big sergeant named Kerrigan In Chaffee's
company who was In charge of the pack
train, and It waa corraled about a- quarter
of a mile back of the fighting line. Suddenly
a bunrh of Indians nade a descent on the
pack train to stampede It and Kerrigan's
horse was shot through the nose. The same
bullet cut one of his bridle reins. The
horse became unmanageable and started to
run right toward the Indians. Chaffee saw
what was up Immediately and atsrted on a
gallop for Kerrigan's relief. The Indians
were nonplussed at the sudden move and
evidently thought the whole command was
after thefn and they turned tall and ran.
Chaffee managed to catch Kerrigan's horse
and stopped him. Well, to make a long
story short, we whipped the Indians, though
Company K lost one man killed and about
a dozen wounded."
A discussion was being carried on be
tween several commercial pilgrims at the
Merchants' Sunday afternoon over the con
troversy in some of the Sunday papers
about the Indisposition of a cumber of
eastern girls accepting the proposition of
some Kansas bachelors for wives and their
disinclination to marry men Just to be
come dishwashers.
Said Harry McOlaughlln, a former west
erner: "If It comes to that, the Kansas bache
lor can do as well as we did when I was
baching" It out In southwestern Ne
braska." "How was thatr '
"Get a oup."
"What's a pup got to do with dishwash
ing?" "That' where you show your Ignorance.
We never washed our dishes or skillets.
Just set them down on the floor after we
were through cooking and eating and the
pup would lick the plates and skillet much
cleaner than we could wash them."
"A strange thing happened down In Caw-
ker City, Kan., a number of years ago,'
said Mike Dollard. a stockman at the Mer
chants last evening, "of which I was a
witness. An old gray-headed farmer was
driving Into town with his load of produce
and In crossing a railroad track encoun
tered a train which hit his wagon and de
molished It completely. The old man was
badly scared, but not particularly hurt.
Hut the strange part of It was that within
an hour his hair turned completely black
from the frlrht. Oh. you needn't whistle,
for It's true, for I have seen the old fellow
since and he has as fine a head of black
hair as you ever saw. His whiskers are
gray through."
"I was being shaved up In Deadwood not
long ago," said Ed. Osborn at the Murray,
"and while there a chap came In, and, tak
ing a barber chair, observed 'Gimme a
shave.' The barber who was to do the act
for him was evidently a new hand In the
shop and politely asked him:
" 'Have you a mugT
" 'A mug, what do you mean?
" 'A mug of your own.'
" 'A mug of my own? Tou simpering
Idiot, m'hose mug do you 'spose I've got.
Tou shave this here mug (pointing to his
own fae) and don't you go to getting

1903.
Commercial failures In the United States
during! the year 19U3, as reported by R. Q.
Dun Sc. Co., were 12,069 In number and $155,
444.186 in amount of liabilities, compared
with 11.615 Insolvencies In 1902, when de
faulted Indebtedness aggregated 1117,476.769.
The Increase in liabilities occurred chiefly
in the manufacturing class, where 1,039
failures for 170,698.144 compared with 2,749
for M7,1W,S89 in the preceding year, an in
crease of almost exactly 60 par cent In
amount. . Trading failures were 1,440 In
number for rf2.145.313, against l.2l In 1902
for tr.0S1.4S0. Other commercial suspen
sions, not properly Included In either of the
two principal classes, numbered 590 and
embraced an Indebtedness of $22,700,728,
compared with 617 defaults for $14,206,400 In
the previous year. Of banks and other In
stitutions of a strictly fiduciary character,
there were 121 suspensions during 1901 and
the Indebtedness reached $29,685,766, against
67 for $31,910,607 In the preceding year.
These returns do not Include the United
States Shipbuilding collapse or the few
railway foreclosure of the year, which
could not properly be Included under the
classification of these tables.
Failures for more than $100,009 each were
numerous In manufacturing, 156 concerns
supplying almost two-thirds of the total
liabilities, so that the average for each of
the remaining 2.8S3 defaults was only $10.24S,
which Is less than a similar average for 1902
and well below the average for the decade.
So, as to trading suspensions, 65 supplied
over one-fourth of the defaulted Indebted
ness and the other C.S85 failure averaged
only $5,531 each, or less than any previous
year of the decade. As 250 large failure
supplied almost one-half of the tetal lia
bilities for the 12,019 failures during 190S,
the average of the remaining failures wa
not large, being tC.Hi, against $7,026 In 1902.

Although there were few suspensions of
brokers or those directly connected with the
stock market. It Is obvious that much of
the year's mercantile mortality was due to
the remarkable depreciation In prices of se
curities and the consequent pressure In the
money markets, together with growing con
servatism regarding Investments In new un
dertakings or those only partially com
pleted. There was much embarrassment
growing out of labor disputes In the build
ing trades. Other strikes also contributed
to swell Insolvency statistics, and the effect
of the untoward Influences has proved to be
cumulative. When the disturbing factors
were at their worst there was no noticeable
Increase In failures, but aa the year pro
gressed the moderate contraction of trade
had more effect than was expected. Dur
ing the preceding years of unchecked pros
perity there had been so much expansion of
facilities that readjustment to new condi
tions could only be accomplished through
close scrutiny of credits and care In mak
ing contracts. Tight money made It more
difficult to secure extension of time in mak
ing payments, and severe decline In Iron and
steel quotation was a factor In the year's
losses.
In the following table liabilities of strictly
commercial failures are given by months

Geographically considered, there, were no
striking gains In number of failure except
In the west, where more than 100 per cent
Increase occurred In some cases, notably
Michigan and South Dakota, while Ohio
and Kansas also recorded a much larger
number than in 1902. At the east the only
important numerical increase waa In Penn
sylvania. New York showed little altera
tion and Massachusetts a material decrease.
Texas and Missouri both reported more
failures than the preceding year, but Ar
kansas made a favorable comparison. At
the south there were fewer failures than In
1902, particularly In Florida, Oeorgia, Tenn
essee and Kentucky. Aa to liabilities, how
ever, taere was more or leea Increase ji
every section except in the south and there
the difference was only 11,000.000. The five
cental states showed a total rise tn de
faulted Indebtedness of about 116.000,000,
most of which waa contributed by Illinois.
About 113,000.000 increase waa recorded for
the three middle state, New York supply.
Ing over 18.000000. In New England the
losses were also much heavier, Marsachu
setts alone accounting for almost 15,000,000
of the total Increase, which amounted to
about $7,000,000. Minnesota reported three
times as heavy liabilities as in 19CT. but Ne
braska and Colorado offset m'jch of this by
making most encouraging exhibits. On the
Pacific coast the principal increase wa
supplied by Washington.

Examination of failures aceorntng to oc
cupation shows very large liabilities In Iron
and machinery, and In lumber and clothing
the losses were far above normal. In view
of the demoralised situation at. the cotton
mills, owing to the high cost of raw ma
terial. It is encouraging to find so few de
faults In this Industry. Among the trades
the largest number of defaults was In gro
ceries and meat, closely followed by general
stores. In which liabilities were heaviest.
Losses were also far above normal In dry
goods, but, on the whole, the trade showed
no heavier liability than In an average
year. All branches of business suffered
most severely during the closing months.
The last quarter recorded over one-third
more suspensions than In any three months
of 1902 and the amount of liabilities ex
ceeded any quarter of the last twenty
eight. In 1836, however, there were much
larger Insolvencies, not only for the three
month period, but for the whole year. De
spite an increase in the total number of
concern In business, the defaulted liabili
ties to each firm was $41 .94 for the last
quarter and $122.33 for the full year, the
highest average for over five years. Owing
to the combination of smaller bank ex
changes and larger failures, the proportion
of defaulted liabilities to $1,000 of solvent
payments through clearing houses was $2.02
In the last quarter and $1.42 for the year.

Failure returns from the Dominion of
Canada make' a striking comparison with
previous years. Conditions across the nor
thern border have steadily improved, and
there are no evidences of the setback that
has occurred in the United States. Not
only are failures fewer In number, but
the aggregate defaulted indebtedness is
the smallest in any year of the past
decade.. .Other years have made better
exhibits as to manufacturing insolvencies,
miscellaneous, commercial and banking,
but the principal division of trades makes
a phenomenally good showing as to com
mercial death rate. Liabilities In this class
were but 60 per cent less than In 1902,
which waa the best of recent preceding
year.

REYES PROLONGS HIS STAY
Receives Secretary Hay' Reply to His
Second Note Rearardlna; Colom
bia's Grievances.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 11. Secretary Hay
yesterday sent another communication to
General Rafael Reyes, the Colombian en
voy, In response to his protest against the
action of the United Statea regarding af
fairs on the isthmus of Panama. While
State department officials decline to make
any specific statement as to its nature, It
Is said that In a general way it follows the
lines laid down in the reply to General
Reyes' first note.
General Reyes' second note differ In
some Important respects from that first
sent by. him to the State department. The
first contained a general statement of the
grievances. Important and minor, which
Colombia asserts It has suffered as a result
of the Interpretation placed by the United
States on the treaty of 1846.
The second communication, to which an
answer waa returned yesterday, dealt with
considerable detail on certain specific points
regarded as highly important and meriting
special consideration, and presented an em
phatlo formal protest against the action of
the United States In Panama matters. Sec
retary Hay's answer, however, it Is said.
follows the lines of the recent message of
President Roosevelt to congress on the
Panama question, Justifying the steps taken
by the United States on the subject.
General Reyes' last note also contained
some reference to the submission of dis
puted points to arbitration, but the State
department officials say there Is nothing In
the present situation for The Hague trl
bunal, If any reference to that court was
Intended. General Reyes soon expects to
leave this city for Colombia, where his per.
sonal and political affair require his atten
Uon.'
The suggestlnn wss offered tonight that
he might make an effort to open diplomatic
relations with the Republic of Panama for
the adjustment of such questions as the
assumption by Panama of a portion of the
exterior debt. Some suggestion also has
been made, though not officially, of a re
union of the two governments under the
name of the Republic of Colombia, Panama
to have an autonomous government with
absolute authority to deal with all quea
tlon relating to the control of canal mat
ters.

KNOXVILI.E. Tenn., Jsn. 11. The con
test that . has been waged for months In
this city between the Southern and Louis
vtlle A Nashville roads has been brought to
an end by a compromise that will result

case are covered In, this withdrawal ex
cept a valuable right-of-way in South

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
int Prasbyteriaa Ojmrca Will lfore Iti
Eons of Worship.
COLLECTS MONEY TO PAY FOR LOTS
Property and Work of Construction
Estimated to Coat Between Five
and Seven Thensand
Dollars.
The congregation of the First rresbyter
Ian church has decided to move It house ot
worship from Twenty-fifth and J streets to
the southeast corner of Twenty-third and
utrects. This action was decided upon
Sunday when C. H. Rich, treasurer of
the church association, made a report
showing the amount of money collected fof
the purchase of the propprty at Twenty-
third and J streets. Mr. Rich reported that
the lots cost $2,000, and that more than bait
of this amount had been paid In cash, the
balance being In pledges and notes. In or
der to close the real estate transaction
within the time allowed by the owner of
the lots it became necessary for the trus
tees to give thejr personal notes for the
balance due on the lots. The property ha
been bought and the Presbyterians hope to
be located in their new quarter before the
end of the summer. With the payment of
the price of the property the trustees ex
pect to sell the ground where the church
now stands and thus realize something
towards the payment of the moving ex
penses. On the property Just secured the
church will construct a substantial base
ment to be used as a Sunday school and
class room and will make other improve
ments. When the foundations are in place
the church Is to be moved from its present
location to the new property.
This church was erected on the present
site about ten years ago, but prior to that
time the congregation used a small building
which was removed when the house of
worship now In use was erected. For six
teen years the Presbyterians of South
Omaha have used the present site for a
place of holding meetings. It Is expected
that the cost of making this change will
be between $5,000 and $7,000.

DOWIE ENTERS A' PROTEST
Objects to Lavish Silver Service and
Stuffed Pla- on New Hotel
Menn.
SAN ANTONIO. Tex., Jan. 11 John Alex
ander Dowle and hla six deacon will leave
here tomorrow for San Francisco enroute
to Australia. Dowle attended the opening
of a hotel at a neighboring resort this
morning and entered a protest against the
lavish silver service and the stuffed pig on
the menu.
This afternoon' he addressed about 3,000
people in a local auditorium. He wanted
to make himself clear on the race ques
tion. He said the Anglo-Saxon race Is
superior to the negro race, but that there
was a time when the black brother was
superior to tbe white, and the white man
should be Just to the negro and endeavor
to lift him up. Wheatever the difference
In race might be on earth, the whits man
and the black man were brothers before
God.
Dowie found fault with the southern peo
ple In that they were too sleepy and slow,
not up-to-date, and he ridiculed the slow
time made by the railroad whose guest he
has been during the past several days. HI
only reference to the prospective establish
ment of a Zlon city and plantation on the
Texas coast was contained in the state
ment that he might at some near date
become a neighbor of the people of San
Antonio.
DENVER WANTS CONVENTION
All Fotare Katioaal Live Stock Meet,
tags May Be Held at later
snoantala City.
PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 11. That future
conventions of the National Live Stock as
sociation will be held in Denver Is the gen
eral belief among the delegate to the con
vention who have arrived in Portland ao
far, although delegations from several
cities will be In attendance prepared to
make a fight for the 1906 convention. It is
generally conceded that in case the con
vention falls to go to Denver permanently,
the fight will lie between El Paso and Ban
Jose. The only fear that Denver will not
win is based on the possible effort that
the Texan will make to gain their cause.

SWAMP-ROOT SAVED MY LIFE.
I received promptly the sample bottle of
your great kidney remedy, Swamp-Root
I had an awful puln In my back, over
the kidneys, and had to urinate from four
to seven times a night often with smarting
and burning. Brick dust would settle In
the urine. I lost twenty pounds in two
weeks, and thought I would soon die, I
took the first dose of your Swamp-Root
In the evening at bed time, and waa very
much surprised; I had to urinate but once
that night, and the second night I did not
get up until morning. I hare used three
bottles ot Swamp-Koot, and today am a
well as ever.
I am a farmer, and am working every
day, and weigh 190 pounds, the same that
I weighed before I was taken sick.

There comes a time to both men and
women when sickness and poor health
bring anxlhty and trouble hard to bear;
disappointment seems to follow every
effort of physicians In our behalf, and
remedies we try have little or no effect.
In many such casea serious mistakes are
made In doctoring, and not knowing
what the disease Is or what make us
sick. Kind nature warns us by certain
symptoms, which are unmistakable evi
dence of danger, auch as too frequent
desire to urinate, scanty supply, scalding
irritation, pain or dull ache In the back
they tell us In silence that our kidneys
need doctoring. If neglected now, the

There la comfort In knowing that Dr.
Kllmerls Swamp-Root, the great kidney,

wonderful new discovery, Swamp-Root, you
afford natural help to Nature, for Swamp
Root Is the most perfect healer and gentle
aid to the kidney that has ever been dis

My kidneys and blsdder gave me great
trouble for over two months and I suffered
untold misery. I became weak, emaciated
and very muoh run down, I had great dif
ficulty In retaining my urine, and was
obliged to pasa water very often night and
day. After I had used a sample bottle of
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, sent me on
my request. I experienced relief and I Im
mediately bought of my druggist two
large bottles and continued' taking It regu
larly. I am pleased to say that Swamp
Root cured me entirely. I can now stand
on my feet all day without any bad, symp
toms whatever. Pwamp-Root has proved
a blessing to roe, Gratefully youra,
