The body of Captain Bmmet Crawford,
Third United States cavalry, now burled
at Kearney, Is tote removed to Arlington
National cemetery,, near Washington, D.
C, through the Interest and comradeship
of Brigadier General Charles Morton, com
mander of the Department of the Missouri.
Captain Emmet Crawford was one of
General George Crook's soldiers and was
with him during many stirring campaigns
against the Apaches In Arlsona. Ho was
killed In an action with the Chiracahua In
dians rear Nacorl, Sonora, Mexico, In 185.
while In pursuit of that body of Indians
from one of their raids Into Ariiona.
Prior to this time Captain Crawford had
Invested In some property In Kearney, and
expressed a wish to be burled there, where
he Intended to make his home after leav
ing the army. He waa a bachelor, having
no family other than a brother. According
to his request, his body was taken to
Kearney for Interment. In the lapse of
years the grave has been permitted to go
Into decay, with no one to take any inter
est In its preservation there. In the mean
while the bodies of the officers who fell
that and other contemporary actions.
Including the body of General Crook, have
long since been removed to the cemetery
at Arlington and a suitable monument
marks their achievements.
Goneral Morton, also one of General
Crook's men, feeling that the almost un
known grave of Captain Crawford merited
more than obscurity, enlisted the services
of Senator Brown in the matter and haa
just been delighted with the announcem'ent
from the War department that steps wilt
at once be taken to disinter the body of
Captain Crawford at Kearney And have it
properly burled beside his old commander.

ADVICE HEEDEDJEATS DRUGS
A Few Practical Suarstestlons for the
Care of Infants In Hot
Weather.
A Boston physician c large experience
offers through the Boston Globe a few
practical hints, which. If heeded by
mothers, may help to reduce infant mortal
ity. He says:
As large a room as possible should be
selected for a nursery, In which the sun
shines part of the day. The air should be
kept as pure and as clean as possible. The
temperature should be between 66 and 6S
degrees measured by a thermometer hang
ing three feet from the floor. Never
should the temperature be allowed to rise
over 70 degrees. After the first year of
the child's life the temperature may be
as low as E0 or even 45 degrees.
"A child who ia kept In too warm a room
becomes palo, loses appetite, shows symp
toms of Indigestion,, occasionally vomits,
stops gaining In weight, perspires very
much and takes cold easily. In summer a
child should be taken out of doors after
It Is one week old In spring and In fall
usually at about three months old.
Fresh air la required to renew and pur
ify the blood, and this is as necessary for
health and growth as proper food. The
appetite Is improved, the digestion la bet
ter, the cheeks become red and all signs
of health are seen. It is very healthful fo
a child to sleep out of doors; It thus be
comes stronger and lens llablo to take cold.
Children who take cold on the slightest
provocation should be kept in cool rooms,
especially when asleep. They should not
wear such heavy clothing to keep them
In perspiration much of the time. Every
morning the body, especially the back and
chest, should be sponged with cold water.
"The best way of giving a sponge bath
la to stand the child in a tub containing a
little warm water, and a large bath sponge
soaked In cold water should be squeezed
two or three times over the body. This
should be followed by a vigorous rubbing
with a towel until the skin Is quite red.
"The best food for an Infant is mother's
milk, as it contains all the Ingredients
necessary for the proper nourishment and
growth. As a rule all mothers should
nurs3 their own children, txcept when thi
mother has or haa had consumption or
any other chronic disease, or is herself in
very delicate health. The baby should1 be
nursed at regular Intervals during the day
and once or twice during the night, and
should be kept at the breast about twenty
minutes for one nursing.
If a child must be fed artificially, cow's
milk Is tho best after the mother's. All
other kinds of Infants' food may do for
a time, but never permanently. The long
continued use of other foods as the sole
diet often produce rickets, and a condition
of general malnutrition follows. The child
is pale, and its muscles are soft and flabby.
Cow's milk for Infants' use ought to bo
modified, as It does not contain the In
gredients In the same proportion as the
mother's milk.
"Most Infants suffer from overfeeding,
either from too much food at a time or too
frequent nursing Overeating Is a habit
gradually acquired, and may continue un
til twice as much food as Is proper Is taken
in the twenty-four hours. This habit la
most frequently seen In Infants whose dl
gestlon Is not quite normal, and they often
appear to be hungry the greater part of the
time, especially at night.
"All food taken in excess of what a
child can digest becomes a burden to him.
The food lies In the stomach undigested,
ferments and causes wind and colic. The
Infant Is restless, constantly crying, sleeps
badly ond atops gaining, and may even lose
In weight Such symptoms may lead to
the mistaken conclusion tha too little food
la given and it is accordingly increased
when It should be diminished.
"Whether the child feeds himself or Is
fed by someone else the following rules
should be observed:
"Plenty of time should be allowed be
tween meals.
"Food at regular hours only; nothing be
tween meals.
"The child must be taught to chew his
food. But aa mastication Is done by all
children very Imperfectly, all meats should
be cut very fine, all vegetables mashed
and all grains cooked very soft.
"Children should not be continually urged
to eat and under no circumstances forced
to cat.
"Children should not be given Jellies,
pastry, sweets, etc.. even In such smali
quantities as not to upset the digestion, as
they soon lose appetite for the simple food
which they had taken with satisfaction.
"Always give first at the meal the one
Important article of food milk, meat, oat
meal or vegetables which the child habit
ually refuses. Children so readily form
habits of eating only certain things and
refusing others that such an Inclination
should be checked early.
"In very hot weather children should be
given less food, particularly less solid food
and more water."

CAPTORS CF JEFFERSON DAVIS
Last Survivor of the Squid Which
Captured the Confederate
rrrsldrait.
There is only or man left of the squsd
of fourteen union soldiers who captured
Jefferson Davis, the fleeing confederate
president, near Irwlnsville, Oa., forty
three years ago, and that is Casper Knobel
of !3 Amber street. Kensington district.
1'hiladelphla. Mr. Knobel has hold the
distinction of being the only survivor of
that famous expedition but a short time,
George Ftlnke, who also was one of tha
captors, having recently died at Ms home
in Detroit. It wss after a two days' march,
without food, that Mr. Knobel discovered
the camp of the confederate leader, and.
throwing back the tent flap, placed him
under arrest, at the same time firing thrve
shots Into the air as a signal to the other
acoutlng pttrtles that the search waa ended.
Mr. Knobel, who baa Just celebrated the
(3d anniversary of bia birth, cam to this
country In his teens. He was born high
up In the Swiss Alps, and could not speak
a word of English. Rut for all that he gave
his mother ro rest until he won her con
sent to come to America and Join forces
with an older brother who was fighting In
the union army. 80, seventeen days after
he landed on these shores, he enlisted in
the Fourth Michigan cavalry, a detachment
of which was sent out to apprehend the
fleeing confederate president.
Owing to his speaking only German then,
he was unable to understand what Wlnr.ie
Davis, then a girl of 17, said, when she
asked young Knobel, who waa somewhere
about her own age, what would be done
with her father. But he did manage to
make her understand how hungry he was,
after marching for two days without stop
or food, and Miss Davis provided him a
slice of ham and soma cornbread.
Mr. Knobel saya It la true that they
captured Mr. Davis In women's clothing.
Ha refutes the entire story told of the
confederate leader wearing petticoats when
taken Into custody. He says he did ne.ve
a shawl wrapped about hla shoulders, and
thst this act Mrs. Davis herself performed,
as she was afraid of the consequences from
the chill air of tha early morning. Mr.
I Davis fully appreciated her thoughtful and
tenner cara, ana consiaering me errina
upon which they had come, he also behaved
in as gentlemanly a manner toward his
csptors as they naturally could expect
him to.
Each one of the fourteen union soldiers
comprising the party received a gold medal,
present e.! by congress, on which was In
scribed: "fourth Michigan cavalry. To one
of fnurteen who raptured Jefferson Davis.
May Wb." And each one also received
his share nt the reward of HOO.O10 the gov
ernment paid for taking the leador of the
confederacy Into custody. But, above all
his other possessions, Mr. Knobel prises Ms
gold medal, which he alone la left tp dis
