Comrade Cowles , Upon Request Furnishes His War Record for Publication. EDITOR RItPUI1T.ICAN : By the solicitation of friends who wanted Ole to write them a sketch of my army life as they II would prize it very highly for themselves and their children , I reluctantly consented to do so. Forty-five years ago the ,15th , day of September , 1862 I enlist. ed in the service of my country to serve three years , or during the war , and was mustered into the United States service at Peoria - ria , Ills. on the Seventh day of Dcc. 1862 , as a private of Captain 1'homas S , Lupton's Company M. 14th Illinois Volunteer Cavalry - alry , Cole el Horace Capron , commanding.

March 8 , t\1e regiment started for the front and arrived at Glasgow - gow , Ky. , April 17th , where it was assigned to the 2nd Brigade , General Stoneman's Division Cavalry corps , Army of the Ohio. Two hours later the Brigade started to attack the rebels at Celina , on the Cumberland river , marching day and night pursued and attacked Col. Hamilton's rebel force near Turkey Neck Bend , driving the enemy into the' ' mountains of Tennessee , capturing - ing a number of prisoners , several - al pieces of artillary , bOO stands of arms , . a wagon train of supplies - plies and the commanders papers.

It is well for the nation , it is well for the indivdual citizen , to stop for a little while on scason- able occasions , in the fierce rush of the nation's progress , an give a thought to men and events of the past-the men and events that at once form the corner stone of the government's very foundation , and the keystone of the country's : rch of success. Such seasonable occasion pre. sents itself whin the rolling years bring the anniversary of the natal day of such a man as Abraham L ncoln-a man whose work should be the greatest possible - sible incentive , not only to the youth of the land to fight life's battle valiantly , but to all men and women to so live and act that the nation's history may be in fyll accord with the lofty aims , the magnificent achievcments ot thc dominant spirIts of the times. Where , in all the broad range of human knowledge of humalJ activities , is it possible to find a morc eloquent sermon than that preached by the entire life of Abraham Lincoln , beginning almost at tht very date of his birth , February 12 , 1809 , and closing , not with the date of his death from the assassid s bullet , but only at that remote time ilJ the future , when the trumpet of time shall sound the call at whicb "thc Heavens ' shall roll back as a scrot'l , " and Gods chosen shal ] come into tLeir inheritance of e. . ternity ; for the spirit of Abrahan : [ , incoln still , lives in the land , and rev rence for his memory will keep that spirit alive as long a American independence and love of humanity , are twin wellen in the heart of man. There is jnspiration to be drawn from every word e\'er ut. tered by. Abrahan Lutcoln ; then is grand example in his ever ) public act. 'l'he lesson taught by his wondrous dceds have done and are doing , more for tIt ( world's advancemcnt than all tit ( lessons in all the books in th ( world , exccpt it be thc Uible. It the' hearts and minds of the Am erican people , Abraham Lincoh1 is held ! ) ccond only t Georg ( Washington , and yet there an thousands of pcople--pco le.whc read , and who think they keel in touch with the timcs , and wel informed on events-who allo\l the rush spirit of the age , wha' ' is commonly callcd the spirit 0 cOll1merc alism-sel f-service and th struggle for dominance over thair fellow man-to lead them to accept"'Abraham Lincoln and his glory on tradition , without really knowing the things they should know about him , nor according - cording him that praise from their heart of hearts , that is his meed. When still a bO.r , his inclina- tion8 following' his thoughts far afield , he seized the first opportunity - tunity to see a little beyond the' ' rugged and b rrel1 hills of Spencer - cer county , Indiana , and this op- I portunity came in an ofTer to 'worle for his keep on a flatboat drifting to New Orleans. 1'hat was his first step , and he never retraced it ; from th:1.t da his facc was ever to the front , . and he was ever climbing. Entirely self-taught , he went rom the enVil'Ol1111ellts of a common - mon laborer to that of a country school. He studied law under the most adverse C'.ircumstances , and whc yet a young man , became - came eminent in a small way at the bar in Illinois , a member of the legislaturc , and prol111ncnt locally in politics. ' 1'hen camc the crisis in the nation's carcer- the clays when humanity mu t trample on the curse of slavery or slavery woulcl throttle the natiou. It was as if heaven had ordained this man from the very beginning of time for the great work this crisis brou ht. Abraham - ham J4incoln , from IllS birth in the backwoods of Kentucky , from his hard a 11 < 1 r.umble boyhood amid the barren hills of Indiana , from the almost obscure surroundings - roundings as a country lawyer in Illinois , was called to take the helm of the ship of state at a time when storms were raging , such as no nation had ever before - fore ericountered. And a wondrous - drous captain he proved hitnselfj how wondrous is written in the I history of the rlation , in the an- nal ! ; ) pf the .world. " lc .qccam PresIdent ot" the mted States ou the 4th. of March , 1861 , and almost at the same instant the nation was pluuged into the fiercest and bloodiest war of mod- crn times. 'rhrough the entire period of this war between the States , Ab. raham Lincoln held the post of the nation's Chief with never a flinch , and never a thought of self , never a WIsh for anything but the salvation of the country , and honorable peace for all the people. In 1863 he issued his emancipation proclamation , putting - ting an cnd to stavery in this republic - public forever. In 18)5 , the war still raging , he was inaugurated presidcnt a second time. Shortly afterwards camc the crowning of his life work , the restoration of peace , and his martyrdom at the hand of the assassin , John Wilkes Booth. Through aU this wonderful - derful care r , and in all his splendid - did work , Abraham Lincoln was not only a great manj he was a good man. Well it is that we should stop , in the rush of current - rent events , on the anniversary I of his birth and pay tribute to his memory.

Druggist BROKEN - BOW - Doctor Kinsey I Has Arrived. 11.1 Springs I ! cialist lJ."al ! ' to Broken Bow last Night and is at the Grand Central\11otel. \ As waR announccd in last weck's issue , Dr. Ben W.

" The answer is , the Hot Springs Doctors are an association - sociation of specialists who treat chronic disf > ases by the Hot Spri..Qgs treatment. 'rhey bave already established an institute in man } ' of the larger citics of the United States.

The object is to establish branch institutes - stitutes in the various centers of population , so that this Hot Spnngs treatment will be within the reach of all. 'rhe Hot Springs system of treatment for chronic diseases has a national rcp ta- Hon as is attested. by the f ct that the U. S. government has established its army and naval hospitals at Hot Spring-s , Ark. , where soldiers and sailors arc sent after all ordinary method have failed. 'l'housdmls of sick people are carri dlto Hot Springs every year. Many. people go. there on crutches wIthout hopc , often go home well amI happy. Hot Springs is'a NatiOlial bless- ' of' ing. But ever } ' one cannot go to Hot Springs. It remained for Dr. Kinsey to discuss the secrets of the Hot Springs and to perfect his wonderful system of homc treatment so that it can besed , anywhere in any home , without inconvenience , annoyance or publicity - licity and without detaining the patient from his usual business or occupation. This wonderful Hot Springs treatment is what Dr. Kinsey is bringing to Broken Bow. During - ing this first visit he will be here but three days , Feb. 20 , 21 and . . . 22. Ur. Kinsey will receive patients - tients at the Grand Central hotel parlors where he will examine. all patients free of charge. Those that are found to be curable will be trcated at a low price , those that are not curable will not be accepted for treatment at any price. 'rhe object of this first visit is to secure a few cases to show what this wondcrful Hot Springs treatment will do in the way of curing chronic diseases , even after all other methods have failed. Dr. Kinsey solicits only difficult cases. Cases that have failed of a cure by ordinary methods and have been given up as hopeless. 'Of course Dr. Kin.- sey does not claim that hc can cure all cases , but among these hopeless cases he will select mazty : that can be cured nnd those that cannot bc cured will be frankly told so and 110 money accepted from them uuder any circum- stances. Dr. Kinsey has a national reputation - utation among physicians on account - count of hs : wonderful know ledge of the human body. He acknowledges 110 peer in the matter of mcdical diagnosis.
