The death of Frank Burns at Ida Grove last week recalls one of the most Interesting events of this well known man's life. Among many thousands of other union sol diers , he was captured by the confederates , and was unfortunate enough to bo of the number of those locked up Inside the awful stockade at Andersonville prison. Hero It was that the true spirit of Justice of the man manifested Itself , and with a firm and unflinching hand he saw that Jus tice , summary In Its nature but warranted by the circumstances , was dealt out. Among the many thousand suffering wretches In- sldo that stockade were a few men whose greed turned them into thieves and outlaws of the worst kind. These men would prowl about nt night , nnd would steal from the stores of those who had accumulated a few scraps of food for the next day. They would hold men up In the dark nnd rob them of what little they had , and many other crimes were laid nt their doors. But about the worst thing these fellows did was to take food away from dying men men who were literally dying of starvation. This kind of thing had gone on some time , and It was Frank Burns who undertook the leadership of a band of men to prevent further out rages. The offenders , themselves union soldiers , were captured and taken before a regularly organized court composed of other prisoners Inside the stockade. They were given a fair and Impartial trial , and the court passed the sentence of death In each case. It was carried out , und the men were hung Insldo the stockade by their comrades in arms. This had its moral effect upon the whole camp. It was a lesson to others who might have done the same thing , had not a firm hand been stretched out against the of fenders , and there was little If any more of the stealing from dying men. The organ ization of the punishment was one of the early Incidents of the man who afterward became one of the most beloved and Influ ential men In Ida county. For years the people of this county kept Frank Burns In public office. For eighteen years ho was a member of the Board of Edu cation , for eight years ho was mayor of Ida Gro\e , nnd for eight years treasurer. At the tlmo of his sudden death ho was post master. The funeral services were held over his remains here Sunday afternoon. Postmaster E. P. Hclzer , of Sioux City , at tended , nnd be says ho never saw so many people turn out to a funeral In respect to a citizen. No man In Ida county was so well llktd as Frank Burns , and this was demon strated by the spirit of his neighbors and fellow townsman nt the services Sunday af ternoon. IlMVIl MlllllcllUll I.CI1KIIC.

Governor Shaw promlpos to bo out of rocket as a result of liberality In extending loans to hun dreds of members of the detail stationed at Camp McKlnley. The government refused to Issue pay prior to the return of the two regiments now homo on furlough , nnd Gov ernor Shaw In the goodness of his heart placed In the hands of the adjutant gen eral JCOO to be distributed In the form of loans of $ C each to the detail. Before nil entitled to the money had received It some m "i P'S of the detail reappeared at the desk of the disbursing agent of the govern ment , securing $ IU by signing fictitious names. As n consequence some members of the detail are without the money In tended for them. Captain Olmstead has received a telegram . from the War department appointing him mustering out olllcer for Iowa , with Captain E. L. Howcll as assistant. Captain Howcll has been mustering out olllcer. Prepara- tlons are being made at Camp McKinlcy for the reception of the regiments.

WHAT THE CHAPLAIN" MEANT loira Simply Colnn In Itn ANNKIU | > ( ! In tlif I.liumill \ot llmi- f from DENVER , Oct. C. When the court-martial which Is hearing the testimony In the case of Chaplain Mclntyre of the Oregon was called to order this morning the cross-ex amination of the defendant , which was be gun yesterday , was resumed. An Interview with the witness which was published In a Denver evening paper on the day following the lecture was placed In the hands of the wltnrss , who was asked to verify or deny It. Ho verified several statements attrib uted to him with positlvencss. Ho re membered distinctly what he tried to con vey. Ho' did tell the reporter that the Oregon demonstrated Its superiority over the other battleships In the fight , but ho did not accuse the eastern shipbuilders of cheating the government , as the reporter Doctors Horsford's ' Acid Phosphate ( or Nervousness , Dyspepsia and Overwork , riountto take. fioldonljln botttfi. had quoted him. Ho subsequently utnted th.it ho wan still ftllghtly under thn Influ ence of drugs and tlie exi-ltcmcnt of the night before when talking to the reporter. In nnsuor to n question of the judgt ) nil- \oratr regarding whrtt lie Intended to say lu his lecture about division of prize money , the chaplain explained that lie felt very friendly toward Commodore Schley , the first commander ho ever sailed with , and be lieved that ho should have received the major part of the honor and emolument of the battle. Ho Intended to say to the audience that the division of the , -irlzo money would bo In the proportion of $10,000 to the admiral , $300 to Captain Clark nnd $75 to officers of his own rank. He had no Idea of giving these as thd amounts each would receive. Witness said his Intention , was to say that when the battle begun tht Oregon took Its assigned position on the Inner line , and as It did so passed the Iowa , going the other way to assume the position assigned to it. Ho Intended to any that , when the Colon surrendered he paw several I of the American vessels half hull down to the eastward , and that while the boarding I ! pa tlis from the Oregon and Brooklyn were ' going to the Colon the other vessels came up. Ho declared that ho made no asser tion to the effect that Admiral Sampson reported - ; ported himself within four miles In order j to got prize money. Ho was aware that the admiral was entitled to his share of the prize money , regardless of his distance from the fight. The judge advocate ask-jd Chaplain McIntyre - Intyre whether , previous to the lecture , in conversation with Hod S. King , private sec retary of Governor Adams , ho had not made statements similar to these made In the lecture. This was strongly combatted by Attorneys Cranston and Doud for the de fense. The judge advocate announced that ho was laying the foundation of Impeach ment of the witness. Argument on the ob jection was deferred by agreement. Chap lain Mclutyro positively denied having said to Mr. King the things charged unless It might have been on the night of the lec ture. Similar questions regarding conver sations with J. L. llllnn and Leo Ullery , superintendent of the building ot the now Denver mlut , elicited a similar answer. A report was read from the Brooklyn , N. V. , Bngle to the effect that Cha'plaln , Mc lntyre made statements In a conversation with friends In that city of the same charac ter alleged lo have been made In his Denver lecture. The chaplain denied having made such statements In Brooklyn and declared that ho refused to talk to the Kaglo re porter , and ho believed the reporter , being offended , willfully misrepresented him , The judge' advocate then placed In wilt- ness' hands a copy of an alleged Interview with him published hi the Now York Times of August 1 , having been telegraphed from Denver. The chaplain said he had no remembrance of giving an Interview to a representative of any paper published out- sldo of Denver. He denied having given the alleged interview to anybody. An al leged Interview with the witness published 'August 10 in the Denver Times , which was almost Identical \vith the ouo In the Now York Times , was denied as to many state ments given. Ho admitted having been Interviewed by a reporter of the Times , but could not remember what ho said to him.
