A Wonderful Discovery,
lroudlnnd, S. Dak., Mnrch 28.
' Quito a sensation has been created here
by the publication of the story of G.
V. Gray, who, after a special treat
ment fqr three months, was prostrate
nnd helpless ami given up to die with
Hright's Disease. P.rlght's Disease has
always been considered incurable, but
evidently from the story told by Mr.
tlrny there Is a remedy which will cure
It even In the most advanced stages.
This Is what he says:
"I was helpless ns a little babe. My
wife and I searched everything and
read everything we could find about
Jlriglit's Disease, hoping that I would
be able to llnd a remedy. Afler many
failures my wife insisted that I should
try Dodd's Kidney Tills. I praise God
for the day when 1 decided to do so,
for this remedy met every phase of my
rase and in a short time I was nble to
pet out of bed, and after a few weoks'
treatment I was a strong, well man.
Dodd's Kidney Pills saved my life."
A remedy that will cur Hright's
Disease will cure any lesser Kidney
Disease. Dodd's Kidney Pills are cer
tainly the most wonderful discovery
which modern medical research has
Klvon to the world.
WESTERN CANADA HAS AN EX
CELLENT CLIMATE.
The 8nkntchcrrnn Valley Very High
ly Fa to red.
An Interesting feature of Western
Canada is its climate. Those who
have made a study of it speak highly
of It. The Canadian Government
Agents are sending out an Atlas, and
n: the same time giving valuable in
romatlon concerning railway rates,
etc , o those Interested In the coun
try. As has been said, the climate is
i cedent. The elevation of this part
it Canada is about 1,800 feet abov
ti sea, about twice that of the aver
age for Minnesota. It is a very desira
ble altitude. The country has a very
enviable climate, taking the seasons
through. The winters are bright, and
.te summers are pleasantly warm. R.
". Stupart, director of the meteorologi
cal service for Canada, ay:
"The snlicnt features of the climate
-wf the Canadian northwest territories
re a clear, bracing atmosphere dur
Tig the greater part of the year, and
a medium rainfall and snowfall. The
mean temperature for July at Winni
peg Is GO. and Prince Albert 02. The
former temperature Is higher than at
any part of England, and the latter is
very similar to that found in many
parts of the southern countries."
At Prince Albert the average daily
maximum in July is 7G nnd the nihii
mum 48. Owing to this high day tem
perature -with much sunshine, the
crops come to maturity quickly.
Moisture is ample in the Saskatche
wan valley, being about IS Inches an
nually. It Is notable that about 75
per cent of the moisture falls during
the crop months. Thus. Western Can
ada gets as much moisture when It Is
needed, and with several hours more
sunshine dally than land further south
gets during the growing season, It Is
not dlfllcult to understand why crops
mature quickly and yield bountifully.
Winter ends quickly, sowing Is done
during April and sometimes In 'March.
Harvest comes In August, about the
middle. Cyclones, blizzards, dust and
sand storms are unknown.

"It wiiK my gooil fortunpsald Major j
N. 0. Franklin, "lo see General Cleorno '
II. Thomas In action at the buttle of !
Nashville. General Kimball bail or- j
dored mo to carry a message to one :
of onr brigades, and after delivering
tho message 1 was unable to llnd the
General to make my report. A staff
otllcer Informed me I would llnd Klin
ball with General Thomas, and I
sought the latter. He sat on his horse,
cool and alert, nnd I remember how
quietly he said to Kimball: 'General,
yon will order your second brigade
Into action.'
"As I was the only start olllcer not.
otherwise engaged. I volunteered to
carry the order. 1 was Just starting,
when a sharp shooter got range of
General Thomas' headquarters and a
bullet killed General Kimball's horse
under him. After extricating the Gen
ral and ordering another horse for
him I started with my order. There
was no excitement at headquarters.
General Thomas acted as though the
Incident, were an every-day occurrence
and not worth mentioning.
"Lieutenant Colonel Hallowell, then
only 22 years of age, commanding the
Thirty-First Indiana, led one division
skirmish Hue, and when ills troops
took a strongly fortified position of the
Confederates on Montgomery hill, Gen
oral Kimball and staff followed them
through the embrasure. As the Gen
eral's horse made the leap he was
hipped and was useless foieverinore
h n war horse. As I saw one of Kim
ball's horses killed and the other hurt,
my nflklavit made It possible for the
General to yet pay for botli horses.
"A3 the division skirmish line was
filing into tula improvised fort, I saw
Captain Kaldenbaugh of the Ffty
Flrat Ohio dusting the uniform of a
Confederate soldier with a riding whip,
t appeared that the Captain had or
dered the Confederate to surrender,
and, the latter replying offensively, tho
Captain cave bint a good licking. I
was ho much interested in this en
counter that I did not hear the zip of
rifle balls or the bursting of shells In
my vicinity. The captain brought In
ills man.."
"That reminds me," said the Ser
geant, "that soldiers rarely or never
sttled personal quarrels by rc3ort to
arms. The boys In the old Sibley tenta,
with their muskets or rlllea In eaBy
reach, would fight with flats to a fin
ish, but no man, oven if hard pressed,
would think of using his musket.
Teamsters, with their own guns on
their wagons, would fight out their
fcuda with whips or clubs, but in our
division not a single teamster over
'.hreatcned to shoot another.
"This was a mntter of Instinct, of
former environment, and of training.
Men from country and city regarded
tho guns they carried In tho army as
governmental rather than personal
equipment, to bo used against the ene
mies of tbo nation. When it came to
personal differences they were settled
In the old neighborhood way, without
reference to military discipline or
equipment. One man of a company
might throw a stone at another, might
strike a comrade with a club, or beat
him with his fists, and retain his stand
ing, but if he used a gun or bayonet
against another soldier he was lost
"This was nn unwritten regulation
rarely violated. On one occaslou a
quarrel of long standing was in pro
""ss of settlement In ous Sibley, when
'he little funnclshapcd stove of that
'uy was overturned and tho tent
brown down. Up to tills time there
had been no nctlve Interference on the
art of tho inconvenienced members
f the mess. Hut when one of the
ghtors rolled from under tho fallen
:cnt and In his blind rage caught up
i rifle to use as a club, there was In
i 'rfercnee at once, and both men were
i-iindled off to the guardhouse.
"This did not settle tho quarrel.
Two weeks after that it broke out
. gain, while the regiment was resting
in line after repelling an assault by
Die enemy. In the lull the two feud--ts
went at each other hammer and
tongs, and were rolling nnd tumbling
li.Mt the rebels ndvanccd in force,
lit y were so intent In punishing each
her that they seemed oblivious of tho
:itfinys fire, and made no move when
he. company begun to retire. Winded
i last, they discovered they were
lone in the Immediate front of tho
luirging rebels. Thoy grabbed their
tins and scooted for our linos. Ono
as wounded and tho other dropped
.v Ills side until ho could bring the
vounded man in. That settled tho
Hiirrel,
'Must before Chlckamauga, when
( a insters wore working overtime and
overlng a good deal of new and rough
ountry, and consequently were very
n-ltiililo, thero was a quarrol, with a
serious outcome, among teamsters of
n train following up tho uncertain
niovoments of our division. Wo of the
but wo didn't expect it to com Just
as tho train was moving nlong a trail
or sholf in the mountain barely wlda
enough for wagons in slnglo column.
Ono side was, a precipitous cliff, ex
tending upward, and on the other n
steep declivity, extending downward
to tho botfom of tho ravine.
"However, as the center (if the train
reached this point ono of the team
sters struck, from his high sent, at
another teamster wlto hud left his seat
for a moment and was on the ground.
Quick as a flash the teamster on tho
ground struck the mules of tho other,
and wlille the latter was striving to
control tils tnnglcd-up team climbed up
to pull him off his seat. Tho two
clinched uh they fell forward on tho
frightened mules, and were clawing
at each other as "they went rolling
down the declivity. The two driver-
less teams bolted, nnd. wheeling in a
panic, went with the two wagons down
the Incline afler the scrapping drivers.
"The tennis In front and behind had
a wild scramble, but were kept to tho
narrow road. When the commander
of lht guard arrived at the scene of
hostilities two wagons and two drivers
were missing, and no sounds came from
below. Scouts sent down to Investb
gate found two hruNcd teamsters work
ing together to get their wagons right
side up and to shake their bewildered
mules Into a realization of their duties.
With the teamsters who hud rolled
down lighting like wild cats It was
'Here. Jake,' and 'Here, Tom,' and
they wore working together syinpnthet.
Ically and enthusiastically. The Major
In command swore they must get thoso
two wagons and contents up hill and
Into line or lie would have them shot,
lake and Tom both said, 'Sure,' and
before night they, with the asslstanco
of the other teamsters and by tho use
of long ropes and the cutting of a new
road, had the wagotis and their crip
pled mules in their old place in line.
However, it was an expensive quarrel
for them, and they never forgot it."

The story told by old letters, dairies
and other documents discovered In set
tling the entate of the late Col. Frank
Coxe. who died recently at Ashevllle,
N. C, furnishes proof that very often
truth Is stranger than fiction. From
tho records It appears that Col. Goxo
nerved In the Union and Confederate
armies at the same time, fought
against himself In many battles, ran
away from himself on more than ono
occasion, was twice allot to death, and
lived to u ripe old age, haunted al
ways by the fear thai he hud killed
himself.
Col. Coxe was born Nov. 12, il&K), in
Uutherford. N. C. When the Civil
War broke out, Coxe got a commis
sion as colonel In the Confederate ar
my, ire was a wealthy man, and af
ter the war hnd been In progress for
some time he received information
that certain inrge propcrtj' Interests
that he had In Pennsylvania were In
dnnger of confiscation by the Federal
authorities. Col. Coxe fold his trou
bles to President Jefferson Davis, who
relieved him from duty and gave lilm
permission to go north on Indefinite
leave of absence. The colonel was a
red hot Southerner, so rather than
weaken the Confederate army by tlio
loss of a man he hired a substitute to
serve for lilm while he was absent.
Ho hnd only been In Pennsylvania a
short time playing the part of a
Union sympathizer when he was
drafted for the Union army. Then he
hired another substitute, a Union man
this time. Soon afterward, owing to
troubles with the Confederate govern
ment, he left the United States and
went, to Paris, when; lie lived for
many years.
The soldiers who served as substi
tutes for Col. Coxo in the Union and
Confederate armies were both killed In
the salno battle one of the last of tin
great conflict and Mr. Coxo ever af
terward considered himself In a way
personally responsible for their deaths.
In his later years he even grow fan
ciful enough to Imagine that as the
two substitutes were killed in the same
battle, they might have shot ono an
other or one might have killed the
other in some way. His morbid belief
on this point, was strengthened when
years afterward he looked up tho de
tails of the battle and found that dur
ing the conflict tho regiment In which
tho Northern substitute was enrolled
had been opposed through a long hard
fought day by tho regiment In which
tho fjouthorn substitute was serving.
Col. Coxo died with this conviction
firm in his mind,, as Is shown by the
letters and papers recently discovered.
