While conversing with Elder Seth Gee , one
of the \oteruns of the olvtt war and also one
ot the most prominent citizens of Nemana
City , ho gave your correspondent full par
ticulars of thn patbetlo separation of hluuelf
nd hU brother Jaiuoa and their reunion after
many lon yearn , The homo of the Goo
brothers u In old Pennsylvania. When Lin
coln aroused thn chivalry of American man
hood by his famous call for 75.000 men. Seth
Goo was foremost to nnnwor this call. Ho
had lust reached manhood's estate , whllo his
brother was scarcely 18. Leaving father ,
mother and all , ho marched away to battle.
Aftar the war eloiod the ramily had moved ,
and Sctb Goo loit all trace of his folks. Ho
came west and located in Illinois , nmrrlod
aud rained up n family of children. HU wlfo
drlnp , ho became molaclioly , sold out and
migrated to Iowa , thence to MUiourl. where
ho met his present wlfo. Ono day ho noticed
In the columns of a paper n mun named Gco
in Nomalm City. Ho wrote to thU pluoo and
In n short tlmo received n reply. Tno corro-
snomlonco wus kept up for some tlmo. until
Mr. James Goo of this place wont to Missouri
to meet his correspondent. The reunion of
those brothers was heart-rending. Words
cannot express the pent up Joy of their com
ing together nftor almost thirty years of
Reparation. Tholr silvered hair and wrlnklnd
browi furrowed by heart-achos und
troubles were vastly different from the
active , buoyant youths. Aftcr.duo nrraiiKO-
munU Sflth Gco movoil his family toNemaba
City , and It Is n ploanant sight to see the two
brothers together on our streets and in
church. Thu war of 1803 has burled within
its records many n utrai'.co tale and touching
romance of separation and disappointment.
May these ivnlto-lialrod brothers llvo to enjoy
many a happy year ,

H \\ta our privilege last aqmaier to vlilt
that Ajeooa of Amorlctu pUgrlmans , iao bat-
tloilold ofGotty bur r , says the Now York
Ledger. The tlmo WAI nlghP and the sweet ,
sad moon of August uamo gliding up Into the
( iky. As ono looked out from the far-famed
halgth ) oil Cemetery Hill , tlio gleam of mar-
bio monuments di iho moon's light- was all
around. They had odou erected by loving
comrades to mark tho'spot where thousands
fell and died.
Close nt hand was the national cemetery
with Its white shaft and the figure of liberty
crowning the whole , standing out distinct
against the nky. The shadowy- pmt grow
very real. There seemed to dawn anew tbo
mornings of those three bloody days. It wan
not 'DI but 'O.Vaml ' tbo great armies , like two
glgantto slnuout serpents belching lire and
death , evolved tholr light before our very
eyes. Again tbolr was the sounds of hurry-
Ings to and fro ; again tha trumphot'g voice
pioclalmod the sword's pleading ot a mighty
cause.
Then the strife ondcd. nnd the chords of n
vast march , 1'ko ' the music of a coronation
anthem , nnd the Intlulto cavalcndai tiled
back into the shades whence our fancy had
recalled them.
Leaving tbo hill , wo walked down through
the woodland nnd Hold to the pivot of strug
gle tbo Bloody Anglo. Hero bravo Arml-
atoAd , Cushlng and many others foil , friend
and fee In ono red hi rial blent.
But It u as no longer what Its gruesome
name Implies.
For the dream of fond Imaginings rournod
and It had changed Its form.
Again the two armies were present , but
not In the embrace of death.
They had clasped hands across that old
stone wall toward which PicKott's ' legions
vainly rushed. In the distance was the
historio Cordoroy barn , a black specter
against the light-flooded landscape , and ono
could catch .ho faint mi'rmur of u llttlo
stream ns it wound down t io vollev of death.
The tall forms of Hancock and Moaito und
the lovely face of Leo wore conjured into
very vivid lkono ! < s as ono stood there. They
nro no longer fojs but friends now.ln the land
beyond. And the blue und the gray are
foroyor one.
Wo returned to tbo little town In tho-ral-
lo.v , carrying away n problem. It was this :
Tuoso heroes : why their doathl This awful
carnugo : what Us meaning ! Aud hero U
our solution :
They died that our nation might arise and
make its dead self a stepping-stone to nobler
things. Their 'sacrifice wus made to assist
that onward , upward evolution of n land to
which God has committed the dostlnloi of
the west , Thov fought neither for lust of
blood nor greed of gold , but to enlarge and
confirm the highest good of their country
and Its pooulo. Lot us bo as true to their
example as they were to our Interest.

The pioneers of tbo west have always bqen
a sturdy , sell-reliant lot. They have forced
their way into the wilderness aud fought
with bllzzirds , tornadoes , floods and savage *
without asking help of anybody. To tno
settlers in some of the western s'tatoj and
territories It has seemed as natural to light
Indians as to boo corn. It has not occurred
to them to ask compensation for loisoi by
Indian raids , any moro than for losses by
drouth or grasshoppers.
But the government has always , in a tnoro
or loss impecfoal way , recognUad the fact
that when the savags "ward * of the nation"
devastated the property of peaceful Individ
uals it was'rasponjlblo , as guardian , for that
destruction. Long ao people had ceuntgo
and puroistoncy enough to besiege congress
and the Indian bureau year after y oar , but
seldom managed to extract , payment .far ttulr
lasso/ from the tightly locked vaults of tbo
treasury. It was not until tlio passage of iho
act of March 3 , 1891 , th'at the subject of com
pensation for Indian aoproilatlons was ro-
ducnd to a systematic basis. Dy that not the
sufferers from such raids were allowed to
sno the government in the court of claims ,
and the judgunnts rendered wore made alien
lion on any funds hold for tbo benefits of tbo
Irltaos that did ttiu damage , or if no such
funds existed , congress was pledged to ap
propriate tbo money.
Iu the unsettled state of the law on ibis
matter up to last your , the rapacious claim
agents with whom Washington is infested
found themselves In their element. By rep
resenting lhat they had Taclllllns for reach-
ini ; Iho oars of congressman and officials
which nobady else shared , they secured con
tracts , agreeing to Day them " 5 , 50 and even
75 per cent of the amounts they might col
lect. By the act of March 'I , Id'JI , congress
at ono stroka brushed off all this brood of
parasites that had boon sucking the blood of
claimants. It provided lhat all existing con
tracts with attorneys' for the prosecution of
Indian Depredation Claims should bo abso
lutely void , and that all foes should bo fixed
In future by the Court of Claims , the amount
iu no case to exceed 20 per cent of the sum
recovered , and In ordinary cases not to ox-
ceea 15 per cent.
Tous protected against legal oxlortlon tha
only question uuw. before tha claimant Is bow
to llnd a trustworthy attorney , with tbo
proper facilities for the prompt Drosoautlon
