Geseril Kerakaa'a Salate. Karl In the gray 'foggy morning of Oc- t tuber IS, 18;4, Colonel Joseph Thoburn's division of Brigadier General George Jrook's army of West 'Virginia, which con stituted a part of the army of the Shenan doah, waa roused from Its slumbers by I a ringing volley Of musketry from the con federate General J. B. Kershaw's infantry division. Thoburn'a men were panic atricken and poured out of their tent to ' nee what was up and before they had col lected their senses their position was swept ' In an Instant, their seven gun, from which not a. Shot had ben filed, were In tha hands of Kershaw's forces and over half of the division was made prisoners. Tha rest fled to the rear and Kershaw turned the guns, hn had captured on the fleeing troops. On csme the victorious Kershaw I and threw his command agtitnst Colonel B. I H. Hayes' second division of -the Army of j West Virginia and the Nineteenth corps. I tleneral J. A. Karly, the rebel commander ln-chle. Immediately reinforced Kershaw, and t. combined rebel forces were hurled agalfst the Nlnteenth and Sixth corps and the retreat of Cedar Creek was on In fact. Confused by Heavy Kosj. A heavy fog prevailed during the earlier ( hours of the battle and confusion waa ( rampant Inside the union lines and regl j ments and brigades fled down the Win ' Chester pike, a disorganised mob abso lutely uncontrollable. There were a few rcglmenta that maintained their organlca tion and discipline and no one man is en J titled to greater credit for resisting th I victorious rebels and holding them partly In t'heck than Colonel R. B. Hayes and his Twenty-third Ohio Infantry. Tha panlo did not continue long, but a greater portion of General George Crook's army was tn full retreat down the pike and was among I the very first men that General Sheridan I ran Into on his famous rid. General Sheridan had Just returned from Washington from two or three days' conference with General Halleck and f lth. About 7 o'clock an officer on picket i reported. "thV 'distant sound ' of" artillery, j which was at first supposed to be from a reconnolssance, and but little attention waa paid-to It. About t o'clock General Sher idan, mounting his horse, rode to the out aklrta of the town, and observing no cessa tion-in tha artillery firing, became satisfied that a battle was on. Riding out to Mill Creek, half a mil beyond Winchester, he found trains and troops already there from the Cedar Creek battle field So far an the ride l concerned. It ended I upon General Sheridsn reaching the Sixth : corps at about noon. Krom that time in lie devoted himself to riding slong the line, I aeelng sll the troops for himself, snd say i Ing a word or two of cheer as he went jalong to encourage them, to which they resonded with cheer.

( Sherldan'a Dash tp Pike. lie gave hurried orders to park tha re treating trains and to use the spare brigade at Winchester to form a cordon across tha pike and fields so as. to stop the strag glers and fugitives. General Sheridan dashed up the plk with an escort of twenty ' men of the Sixth 1'nited States cavalry. '. He called the fugitive to turn about and face the enemy, and nany of them, In al'lied by his presence, turned back with vheer. Thi main body of the retreating rinv was encountered just eleven and a half miles from Winchester, and as soon as Sheridan's presence became known tha wildest enthusiasm and Joy prevailed. It was the Sixth corps which was first met and It had already formed a line of battle, saving recovered from tha panic of th earlier morning., i "What troops are these?" shouted Sheri dan. "The 'Sixth corr," cam th reply from a hundred voices. "We are all right." said Sheridan as he swung his old hat and dashed along th line toward the right.. "Never mind, boys, we will whip ! out of them yet; we will whip them yet. and we shall sleep in our ' old quarters tonight." How well Sheridan kept his promise Is a nmtter of often-ttd history. Victory wst wrenched from disastrous defeat. At 1 4 o'clock Bheridan ordered an advance and ' "Karly was snt whirling back down the valley,'1 never to return with an organised I fore. 1 Tweaty Mb Witt Hlru. Th popular conception of Sheridan's ride has been, that he mad the t:l down the pike alone. This Is wrong, for his esrnrt of twenty men accompanied htm under . charge of a sergeant. MucTi of the -omanr will be taken out of th ride when it will ; be remembered that the Winchester pike was a toll road and toll gate were fro ouent In those eleven and a half miles. While the union army was retreating back down th pike th stragglers lowered th toll gat and tied them down securely with a view to embarasslng the pursuing forces as much as possible. It was tha duty of the. escort to dismount and looaen these gat, but In some Instances It wss Impossible to do so la the hurry and Sheri dan and th escort' would all dismount and tear down a section of fence sufficiently for tti horses to leap them and thus go round the gate. It was in meeting ths obstacles that . Sheridan manifested the mast amusing Impatience. Ordinarily h waa alwaya In the best nl temper ond 'was familiar and cordial with such nlisted men as happened tn b close to him.

A number of the loral candidates. County Atorney Slabaugh snd Congressmsn John I Kennedy sd dressed the voters on tiie Issues of the present campaign. The speeches by the latter two were the principal efforts of the evening, though all the candidates had plenty to say. Mr. Kennedy's speech wss more thsn usually Important because he committed himself unreservedly to the policy of a postal savings bsnk. He said: "Such fail ures as that a few weeks since In the Mil waukee Avenue Savings bank have but one meaning that there must be means of greater safety to the earners of small salaries. From statements furnished by the receivers of the bsnk. It is shown that the greater proportion of the depositors were of the laboring class. The fraternal lodges snd soclftles numbered twenty-six, all of which losses come from the work ingmen. These people must have means of safety. As long as I have any Influence In congress I shall be In favor of such a system. I have been abje to get many things dona for the good or soutn umsna and the state, and In this respect I leave It to your Judgment which would be able to the more quickly accomplish the de sired ends, I or Mr. Hitchcock, a man who said of hia own ability while a member that the only thing he could do was to distribute gsrden seeds." In discussing other subjects, Mr. Kennedy briefly ran over his official acts and showed their connection with the affairs of the city and the state. By his efforts the Ex change post office received additional help both In the clerk and th machinery neces sary. The branch ofTic wss established In Brown park by his recommendation. He promised that at an early date the salary of the officials should' be raised to meet their Just due. This was also true of the other employes. He declared that through his efforts the meat Inspection appropriations were made higher and kept up to the requirements of the work; that the efforts of himself snd a number of the western representa tives secured the clause of the new law providing that the cost of government in spections should be assumed by the federal government. This provHon he explained at some length. After dealing with the history of tils work asj a representative, he took up the qualifications of the other candidates. He specially recommended to the citisens County Attorney Slabaugh, a man whose work was so consistent and earnest and the results of his labors so gratifying. He declared that the one fact of W. -W. Slabaugh establishing the In heritance tax had saved already to the people In Douglas county $75,0U0. Democrat Would Be Helpless. Mr. Blabaugh's address was forceful and exceedingly practical. "What is the use," he said, " of sending a democratic delega tion to the Ifgislature from Douglas county when the balance of the state is bound to be overwhelmingly republican. The prosperity of these year assuredly Is not forgotten by the rural districts. If you want home rule can you get it by antag onising the balance of th alate? They witt make sport of you and will say to a demo cratic del. gu tion from Douglas. 'Go buck home.' If, on the other hand, a republican delegation is sent to Lincoln they will tw in a position to ask and to secure almost anything they desire." he then discussed the county affairs, till ing how he fought the case of the Inher itance tax to the supreme court and estab lished it with Its great benefits to the state. One hundred thousand dollars In a Year mav vrv k , I - j -v... l..- hi" in i n in i u:u re- i naDj uum i rurci oi ims U'liolesoiue law, the burden on the taxpayers tht much lightr. He Informed his hearecs that he had fought no less than twelve cases before the supreme court; that ho had never employid any special attorney supposed to have exceptional ability to represent the county before 1 lie supreme bench. He hud givfn numerous opinions and never had a reversal of his Judg nent. He challenged his present opponent to show such a record. The other speskers of the evening were L. C. Gibson, candidate for re-election for aenator; Representatives Barnes, F. C. Best, MIohael Lee, Edward Leder, Wil liam Christie; Mr. Tucker of Florence and Prof. Rogers, representing the colored vote of South Omaha. The speeches were all brief and marked by much hearty applause The hall was well filled, every seat being occupied and many standing at the doors. Bradeen Draws a Fine. George Bradeen was .fined $2S snd costs In police court yesterday morning. The charge against him was that of Using in- aeeent language on the public streets and disturbing the peace. The difficulty arose from a meeting tietween Biadeen and Chief i.f Police John Brig after the lit ter had. been dismissed from the sensa tional chArges preferred by Bradeen be. fore the district court. Bradeen failed to establish the charge of extortion from the proscribed class of South Omaha, but the chief took exceptions to some of the statements which Bradeen made on the witness stand reflecting on the character of the officer. When he met him on the street at Twenty-fourth and N. at 4 p. m. Friday, as both were returnlna- from ' a host of friends who are wishing her all i happiness.

OUR LETTER BOX. SCENES FROM HORSE SHOW Brllllaat Window Display at Bran dels' Depict Typical Sight at This Fo net Ion of Fashion. The corning Horse Show wa fore shadowed yesterday by the unveiling of five brilliant windows in Brandels new store, revealing Horse 8hbw sc4kes and Horse Show finery in most complete and beautiful manner. During the entire day and evening the front of the store waa bright with American flags, streamers and Horse Show pennants, while throngs of Interested pcfP' were grouped about the windows. Each window- Is complete In itself, de picting some Important Horse Show scene. One scene Is laid In the paddock, one at the arena rail, one in the boudoir, one In the boxes and another on the promenade. Everything showji tn the windows, from the apparel of the women to the bits, whip and saddle used In the decoration scheme, Is absolutely'correct In point of tyle. All! the hats, gowns, fabric and ac cessories were bought m Europ by Bran dels' buyers expressly for this style event and are given their first showing at this time. Each hat shown Is an excluslv Horse Show design bought on the Rue d la Paix. ' A most lifelike picture Is that at th arena rail, where a horse Is galloping about tidden by a young woman In correct riding Magnificently gownsd women lean on the arena rail. Much comment has been occasioned by the boudoir scene in which a Creole maid Is putting the finishing touche to the costume of her nilMress. The maid Is gowned In violet, which Is th very latest correct shade for maids' boudoir dresses in vogue In London and New York. The moving figure of a richly gowned woman In the center window is a never ending ource of Interest. The figure smiles, turns her head and eyes and raises her lorgnette to look at the horses In the arena. As a bystander expressed himself yesterday: "At Brandels' store even the dummies are live ones." The window will remain In their bril liant dress during Horse Show week. Epithet I OffeaalT. OMAHA. Oct. Jn.-To the Editor of Th Bee: It seems our yellow newspaper hsve causd quite an excitement among the whit population sine the Rummelhart murder by publishing numerous fictitious stories concerning "niggers." t wish to say that every man who ha a black face is not a "nigger." "Niggers" are as numerous these day among the white a they sr among the blacks; yes, and even mere so. Almost every story published about the so-called "niggers" Insulting white women on th street ha turned out to be a whit man. ' few, they had white face, but for all that they were "niggers" with hearts as black as Ink. Women and children have been heard to y, I am afraid to step out after dark because of the 'nigger.' " We wish It to be understood that the negro I a much of a law abiding cltlxen as the white man, and that you do him an in justice when you wrongly accuse and mis represent him. As long as the white people respect them selves we, as a race, also respect them. We do not attempt to say that MIps Rummelhart's assnaatn was not a negro, for no on as yet has been able to say whether or not h waa black or white, but we do say be sur you are right before you accuse him.

To the -Editor of The Bee: As a reader I am glad to see you publish the Dshlman answer to Mr. Balrd, and In connection with this let mo say that I am glad there has been a stand taken against too much clerical In terference with seculsr affairs. Mr. Dahlman could have pointed out to his critic that people who do not pay taxes on their property while enjoying all the benefits of munrlpsl Improvements should be careful In making wild charges about the management of affairs to which they contribute nothing. If church property and parsonages paid their share of taxation, or even as much as the tax shirking railways contribute to the genral funds of city government, criti cism of the method of management of city affairs would be in greater request. In the long, up-hill fight your paper has made for years against railway tax shirk ing I have failed to see you get any sup port from the pulpits of Omaha. So It seems, then, that these superior people find it more profitable to attack petty things than Ills which are of a much greater order. WALTER BREEN.
