RED CLOUD, NEBRASKA, CHIEF ' I r yx toi w KlluBV 3c--p 6TH CGffPS AT FORT STEVENS Member of Ird Vermont Relates 8omi Personal Experiences Notables Wlti eased Fighting. Tho nrtlclo published recently In regard to placing n Inrgo stono at Fort Stevens ns n memorial to tho battle of .July 12. 1864, cnlls to mind Rome personal experiences there. An a member of tho old Vermont brigade I had beon nil through tho strenuous cnmimlgn from tho Wilderness to Petersburg, and wab several weeks on that line, when on July 9 we had or ders to move to City Point. This we found to Include tho whole Sixth Corps, or nt least what had not al ready gone. Wo marched In tho night a distance of about fourteon miles, then took transportation to Washing ton, nrrlvlng on tho 11th, writes George A. Farrlngton of Company A, 3rd Vermont, of Elgin, 111., In tho Na tlonal Tribune. General Early had been sent Intc Maryland to creato a scare, so as tc compel General Grant to weaken hl line In front of Petersburg, and this force had already arrived at tho line of forts nround Washington. As w inarched through the city tho citizens were much relieved. As wo passed ur Seventh street wo were welcomed It a truly friendly manner, and th Greek cross never looked so good bo foro to nny people. General Gordon has said: "On Julj tl, 18G4, tho second clay after tho bat tie of Monacncy, wo wrm at the de fenses of Wnshlngton. We were nearer to the nntlonnl capital than any armed Confederates had ever been, and nearer to It thnn and fed eral army had been to Richmond. 1 myself rodo to a point on those brenstworks at which there was no force In sight. Tho unprotected spnee was broad enough for tho easy pasBngo of Early's army without resistance. Undoubtedly we could have marched Into Washington, but In tho council of war called by General Early there was not a dissenting opinion as to the Impolicy of entering tho city." After the Sixth Corps had taken a position and had time to get ready a strong line waB moved forward short ly after 4 o'clock, July 12. and a Bharp fight took place, In which the Union loss was 280 and the loss on the other side was about the same. It Is said that this battle took place In the presence of a more distinguish ed group of spectators than witnessed any othor action of tho war. Presi dent and Mrs. Lincoln, Secretary Stan ton and other members of the cabinet and several ladles camo out to Fort Stevens during tho afternoon to seo some nctual fighting, and Mr. Lincoln remained during tho action. I chanced to bo In tho lino a few rods to tho left of Fort Stevens, and know when Mr. Lincoln was there, but I did not nee him. Wo were nil busy wntchlng the effects of the Inrge shells from the fort nnd expecting to bo ordered forward at any moment. This battle wns tho flrst of tho cam paign In tho Shenundoah valley, which culminated nt Cedar Creek un der Gen. Sheridan. After tho work was dono in tho valley wo returned to tho llneB In front of Petersburg, and well do I romember the trip from Harper's Ferry to Washington on a cold winter night on a platform car. In tho morning wo were covered with about six Inches of snow. TO BUY ANTIETAM LANDMARK 9unkard Church on Battlefield May Sold to Government to Be Used for Office. It Is now said on good authority that the United States government Is desirous of acquiring the old Dunkard church on Antletam battlefield, and that the war department will use It as an office. If It can be purchased, ac cording to the Baltimore News. The church is a small, rough cast structure, built In 1851, and it Is lo cated along the Hageretown and Sharpsburg turnpike, near Bloody Lane. It Is still used for services by tho Manor congregation, Church of tho Brethren, nnd the congregation wishes to dispose of tho property. Tho title to the church, however, Is complicated, as tho deed or gift for tho slto irom Samuel Mumma provid ed that it be used by tho Church of tho Brethren to erect a house of pub lic worship thereon and hold therein their services. Any deviation from this purpose would, In the opinion of lawyers, cause title to rovert to tho Mumma helrB, who aro numerous and scattered. The Maryland monument Is near the church, also those of Indiana, New Jersey and tho Philadelphia bri gade. Colonel's Wife. Colonel Yergers wife was a con stant source of embarrassment to him. Colonel Yergor once gave a dinner party to a few select ladles and gen tlemen. Of course, he was called upon for an after-dinner Bpeech. Colon Yerger got up and began: "Ladles and gentlemen, unprepared as I am being wholly unprepared to make a speech not having expect ed" Thero waB a painful silence, which was broken by Mrs. Yerger. "Why, Colonel, you knew your speech perfectly this morning."

FOR DAY OR EVENING WEAR 8mart Coat That May Be Made Up In Black 8atln or Other Materials to Suit the Taste. This Is an extremely smart coat of black satin; tho style is one, however, that may bo copied quite well in pop lin, Shantung or flno cloth, nnd is sultablo for day or evening weur. Our model Is lined throughout with black mervo, which has tho advantago over a colored lining that It looks well with a dress of any color, and is really bet ter style for day wear. Tho right front is braided at edge with silk braid, and Is lightly draped up at low er part under a handBomo passemen terie ornament. The collar and cuffs are both at edge. The hat has a crown of dark mauve straw, with a brim of lighter shado; It Is trimmed with a wreath of mixed (lowers. Hessonlte. Hossonlto might bo' a new discaso or a now fad, but It's simply a new shado and It's named for tho Grand Duke of Hesso. Tho shade, which is neither distinctly rose nor amethyst, but a blending of tho two, Is found chiefly In tho seml-preclous stones of translucent composition and brilliant luster such as aro used far necklaces, chains and lorgnette holders, as well as for hatpin tops and toilet pins of a minor character. Hessonlte, con sidered as a color, somewhat partakes of tho futurists Idea of shado blend ing, for tho roso and the amethyst tones so melt Into each other that It Is impossible to say which one has tho stronger characteristic. Silks for Wraps. Moire silks are one of tho accepted novelties for wraps, combination pur poses and for garnitures. Brocades and matelasses in variety are being largely used for outer garmonts, com binations, trimmings, and confidence is expressed in an increased distribu tion during the forthcoming fall sea son. Plain and printed chiffons are ataples.

Great attention is paid to footwear by well drcsBPd women at present. The most dressy styles aro tho sandal effects with and without buttons. High button boots havo sandal strap open ings, and low shoes In sandal strap stylo aro In tho button form. Low-cut slippers aro laced In sandal fashion with ribbons or leathor straps across tho Instep, and fasten around tho angles. Sometimes tho strapping la simulated by an openwork design. This gives to tho slipper a more per manent shapo nnd outline than if tho straps were fastened at will when the shoo is worn. Lace shoes in English stylo havo tho vamp of tho shoo in black leather, with n tan or blcgo cloth top, which Is trimmed with strips of brown leath er.

ARTISTIC EFFECT IN FLOWERS Each Woman 'Must Study for Herselt How Best to Achieve the De sired Results. Roses are best for evening wear. Even if thoy are buds do not wear three or four of them, as that would spoil the artistic effect. Select one bull-blown crimson roso, or a delicate yellow one if you are dark haired, and tuck it into the coll of your hair, allow Ing it to neBtlo close to tho ear. A pink roso will look well in tho golden hair of tho blondo girl. Some blondes may wear a yellow rose with good effect. Tho smart way to wear flowers on tho tailored suit It Is to attach them to tho left lapel of tho tailored coat Vio lets look bust worn near the waist line Just a llttlo to tho left sldo, and tied with soft, narrow, shaded violet satin ribbon. Tho girl who Is ,Just now wearing quaint fischus and has a fancy for parting her hair in tho middle and dressing in a picturesque stylo may wear old-ttmo garden flowers with ar tistic effect. Thoy should bo mado into small bouquets and fastened to tho chiffon scarf or tho dainty mull ilschu, or a bunch of loose flowers may bo worn at tho corsago. Yellow daisies gracefully arranged, make an attractive corsage bouquet. A pretty custom is to wear one flower which becomes associated with your personality. Not every girl can afford expensive Jewelry, but she can always havo flowers, Rich Ribbons. The characteristics of the new rib bons aro richness of coloring and very largo, bold patterns. Largo designs, popples and orchlda and roses are typical. In the velour ribbons dark floral effects will be especially in fa vor.
