took mora Interest In nlm
than In any other msmbr
of tha board that year, not
excepting General Lew Wallace, the
aumor or, -uen ttur," we naa a per
aonal fellow feeling for the man who
had done ro much to make people
understand that there Is an aimy, es
pecially we of the graduating class,
who expected within a week to be
scattered to every state of North
America, and acme even to Europe.
Wa would probably never hava a
chance to meet him again, ao we
made the best of the chance we had.
Wa read hla novels from "The Col
onel's Daughter" atralght along as
fast as they came out. To most of
ua his army was the army.
When we Joined our rrgimcnts later,
at the remote frontier prwi we fmind
there pretty nearly the thing he had
taueht us to expect.
One evening, while sitting out a
dance In the reception room during
one of the large hops, I overheard
a conversation between a Vassar
girl and a first clans man about Cap
tain King's latest novel.
Said she:
"It's dashing, exciting, absorbing,
and a capital atory; but If It has the
true color a man must hold life rath
er cheaply to follow the life of an
offlcer. Don't you think he over
draws r
Said he:
"Oh, no. He's our own army writer,
There's no velvet and down cushions
about It. He's been on tho war trail
himself, and he telle It the way he
saw It. It's most all hard roads and
hungry riding."
The young fellow gave his honest
opinion, and It Is worth something,
because It Is a sample of the opinions
of the class, yet at the time he spoke
he knew as little of the army from
real experience as any man In the
coipa. From reading Captain fvlng
he gathered the lda that he Unew
something about the army, just -s
by reading Bayard Taylor you got to
feeling like a traveler whin you have
never been on board a steamer In
your life.
He must have arrived at West
Point that time late In the evening,
for we saw him for the first time at
reveille-4 o'clock In the morning.
He came out of tho angle of tho bsr
rack with one of the tactical odloers
and stood at the railing of the porch
of the barracks while we were sli-np.
Hy falling In and answering the roll
call.
He was a small man, which rathr
surprised us, for the perusal of his
writings would lead you to look for
something of a giant. Though not
taller than 5 feet 6, his figure was
scrupulously erect, and his bearing
dignified and graceful even to court
liness. He wore gold-rlmmed glass:,
a stylish gray sack suit, patent
leather shoes, and a straw hat with
a brim having considerably less acre
age than one sees nowaday. Alto
gether he was what you call a dressy
man, neat, but not gaudy.
Afternoons we saw him In a blue
diagonal frock coat, with the Loyal
Legion button In the lapel; a pair of
trousers In which you could datect
a delicate Invisible stripe, very ele
gant at the time; and the same natty
wnite straw hat with a black band.
One very hot afternoon he armiinr-ri
In the White flannel uniform of tha
army, which amused some of the wits
ana gave them a chance to make re
marks about "the captain's showing
his shape." He was a credit to 1.1s
tailor. Even Poole would have been
proud to own him.
Captain King had kept up his mil
itary walk better than most old
graduates. Even the unlearned
"pleas' who met him on tho wnikn
stood attention and saluted, knowing
mm to be some oflicer In civilian
garh. Many an ambitious d rum
major, who makes a business of his
gait, Is sighing today because he can
not attain that step that Captain
King cannot sret rid of.
Yet his manner and facial keenness
are even more solllerly than his walk.
His eyes, clear, blue, and piercing;
h nose, straight, regular, and grace
fully molded; his blonde mustache.
carefully trimmed, twisted .at the
fends, and Jauntily turned upward;

a head full and mai.Mve above the

back; a high forjhead in which tliu

assumed a surly curvature; all com
bine to make him an agreeable per
on to look at. He Is elegant, grace
ful, charming, but not pretty.
That morning at reveille he seemed
to be as lively as a boy who has Just
reached home for the summer vaca
tlorf He asked many questions of
the tactical offlcer, and once leaned
far out over the railing to look at
the adjutant, thinking no doubt of
the days when he stood in the same
spot In '6(5.
We were thinking about that, too.
One winter's day In '88 a cadet was
accusrl af stealing certain moneys
from the cadats in barracks. After
ome crude detective work, In which,
as cadet adjutant, Charles King had
been prominent, Cadet Orsemus Boyd
was settled upon as the guilty person
and sentenced to be drummed out of
the corps. With . the winter wind
blowing the dead leaves and snow
around the dreary are of barracks,
In such fierce gusts as to almost
drown the sound of the drums play
APTAtN KINO had btn
-W. appointed a member of tha
jjfjfsyj hoard of visitors to West
i oln n y'r ' graduate.
i.VLy T rmfmhr that th rornl
ing "The Hogue's March," Cadet
M'd was marched up and down the
length of '.he battalion with the pla
card "Thief on his back and then
driven fnm the reservation, leaving
behind no comrade's li,srt w minor
to him than tha wind of that Decern
ber day.
A subsequent official Investigation
fatted to attach any guilt to Cadet
n.iyrt, so authorities po-rmutod him
to return, mt the corps belloved him
guilty, and "cut him dead," for It
Is considered scandalous for a cadet
to assort! with a thief or a liar.
Until graduation, and for many years
after, until tils manly qualities and
brave heart had overcome outside
prejudices, the ostracism of his class
mates made his Ufa a living hell.
Then the truth cams out.
An oilleor on hla dying bed con
fessed that he knew the thief to be
Cadet Casey, who had been acci
dentally killed by ft soldier at drill
wlihln nine mouths from his appar
ently honorable graduation. Casey
had contract I a clandestine mar
riage which If known would have
caused his dismissal and blasted his
hopes In the army. Its had stolen
the money to send to his wife, and
had caused circumstances to p lnt to
Cadet Boyd as the thief. This h had
confessed to his clsssmats In a mo
ment of delirium while lying In the
cadet hospital during the following
January, and this classmate, to be
friend him, had done a greater wrong.
and kept the secret In hla b'tsmn to
his dying day.
The classmates of Cadut Hoy 4 could
not do enough to relieve the burden
of their regret for the gcest Injus
tice dons htm. Captain King had
been most sealous In punishing him
as an offender. lie was even more
sealous In his efforts to exonerate
the nun h had wronged. In 1hs
Captain Orammis Boyd, Eighth cav
alry, died In the field from an Illness
contract I In the line of duty. It
was then that fresh laurels were
twined In memory of his patlwnse
and bravery under the shadow of a
cruel wrong.
A pamphlet containing th facta
was distributed among the members
of the corps, cautioning them against
the evils of "soup Judgment." There
was no name signed to It, but we
know the authorship to lie between
Captain King and Colonel Htchard
It. Savage, of the class of "61 Which
of them It was we never knew: but
we remembared the words and the
cruel wrong which had brought thm
forth and that mcrning when we saw
him we took a long look at the ad
jutant of '84.
During that ten daya with the
board of visitors he seemed to be
trying to live a few days of cadet
life over again. II was everywhere,
looking at everything, the most en
thuslastin member of th board, He
slept In barracks, dined In mcs hall,
did everything but march with us in
ranks, and of course made friends of
us furever.
One evening he met a few of the
graduating diss In the dialectic hall,
mjself among them. Of course he
had his bit of good advice to give.
"By all means keep a diary." said
hf. "I kept one aJirost the entire
time I spent on the plains, and It has
been worth $30,000 to me, Without
it my books could never hav been
written. And above all things never
enter your commanding other's of.
flce without being sent for, and don't
forget to give your superiors the first
salute."
"What started you out In literature,
captain?' asked someone.
"Circumstances, chiefly. I wasn't
long In finding out that keeping a
family on retired captain's pay Is a
beggar's business. I had to go to
work, so I took to writing." Then he
told us about his little family aid
afterward some of us went up to the
hotel to see them.
"What was your first book, cap
tain?" " "The Colonel's Daughter.' I want
ed to call It 'Winning His Spurs,' but
Hamersly, the publisher, thought
that would not do, so we mide, a
change and put that In for the sub
sidiary title."
"We all think that your best book,
even If It was the first."
"Do you? I'm sorry. I think I
have done murh better several times
since, but that's all a matter of taste
anyhow. I can never write another
first book."
Then he asked If any of us were
going Into his favorite arm, the cav
alry. There was one vacancy that year,
and as I had decided to take It, I
said "Yea."
Then he told me a little of his old
regiment, the Fifth cavalry, with
which he had served as adjutant to
Genera Merrltt, and went on to
speak a few words eulogistic of the
general. He wished to know If I did
not think him a model soldier.
Now General Merrltt had Jut the
year before closed his term of ofllce as
superintendent of the Military aead
emjr. He was a firm disciplinarian,
and had been sent to break up the
practice of hazing. He broke It up.
but In doing so he did a good deal
of promiscuous breaking In other di
rectlons. He broke up bad practices,
he broke cadet officers who wouldn't
obey orders, he broke Into a few old
worn-out academic ruts, and he broke
up customs that were not good for
young soldiers. His stern, unbending,
stalwart Jurtlce had stirred up a feel
Ing of soreness in the hearts of the
corps that was painful to see. With
out comparison with others, his ad
ministration is the one that the shade
of General Sherman is singing about
In heaven today. But at the tlmo we
graduated It was worth several friends
for a man to say he approved of
General Mwrltt.
When Captain King put his ques
uon, aunougn l remembered some
extra tours I had walked equipped as
a sentinel, I stammered out some
thing which soundd like approval.
My heart was prrybably more loyal
to the general than my words.
That was the beginning of my so
qualntance with Captain King, We
had sympathies In common, He suld
a man who could smile over six hours
of extra duty had the seed of a sol
dier in him. We shook hands and he
promised lo keep an eye on my pro
gress in the army. I told him he had
better buy a microscope, but I could
see at the tlmo that the name of his
old chief was about as near to his
heart as anything outside of the
bible.
We watchfld him living his old life
over again as the days passed and
graduation drew near, and someway
got to feel well acquainted with him.
so that we were not afraid to step up
and speak when we met him on the
walks.
Captain King rarely spoke of him
self, but one day, In answer to a
question about his first service, he
said he had entered the army ns a
drummer boy at the first outbreak
of the civil war, and for gallant and
meritorious drumming the president
sent him the next year to West Point.
We knew, however, that Rufus King
had been the name of his father, and
hjs grandfather and his great-grandfather
bofore him, and that each of
them had distinguished himself In the
army and foreign diplomatic service.
We knew, moreover, that Captain
King has been retired from active
service for wounds received In the
line of duty,
One evening Captain King was talk-
Ins to a group of us at the north
aeJIy-pom, "Boys," said lie, "you

Dear Sirs: I can scarcely realize I

ble pains near the spine. I tried several
remedies, but got no relief. When I
was Biifloring terriMy a copy of your

one in our household. After reading
part of it I sent for a bottle of Dr. Grant's
Kidney and Liver Cure, and after five

until I had taken three bottles, and was
completely cured.

Mr. Cecr Olves Soma Information from
Huttevllre.
In a letter to the Statesman from
Ilultevllle dated June 29lh J. P. (leer
gives some Interesting hop news. He
si.ys: "Mr, t'sborne of London thinks
a great deal of harm cornea to the
giuwera by the people of each state, or
set Hun. bragging about w hat a large
cror tley are going to have, and the
Initiiinse Inciess In acreage. He says
that the brewers get this, arid they say
tbro will be enough hops to use, even
If England dor not have much of a
ciop, I think the future will ace many
a limn bankrupted by the hops.
"Tho vine Is growing very well, con
sidering the cold weather, but the
witm weather that we are sure to
have, will send them on in good shape.
The m w yards will nul, us a rule, turn
cut a very good crop. In my yard the
lice lire Increasing, but there are not
enough to couse any alarm as yet. I
di not think thtre are enough to alarm
an one, In any of the yards. It will
d pend all on the weather whether we
aro troubled with them to any extent
or rot, If the weather turns oft dry
and hot, there will not be much
tn utile; mid, on the other hand, If the
wisther Is Inclined to dampness they
will Increase very fast. Some growers
In England say It Is folly to fight lice,
ns, If you rave a good crop, tha price
Is prctly sure to be low, and you are
out all your extra expense, while on
the other hand, If the lice take the
crop occasionally slocks will run low,
and the grower will get a good price
for n crop or two, I think something
like that myself. It Is a fact that there
lire more hops growing thnn the brew
ers can une when a fair crop Is raised
a I ever the world, nnd If something
doei nol happen to the crop occasion
ally, the prices will always rule low,
nnd more especially since the brewers
have stopped stocking up but buy
'fioir hand to mouth.'"

Sir; I wish to express my heartfelt
tluiiiks to you for the great benefit I re

have bucu a constant sullcrer for
Twelve Years

so peculiar to women. I have doctored
with several different doctors, and from
some of them I received temporary re
lief, but from none of them have l re
ceived the relief I have from using your
remedies. The
Congo Oil,
was particularly beneficial, as it instant
ly relieves the pain nmt quiets the nerves
and after using it I can go to sleep and
not awaken until break of day. I urn
very grateful for the relief obtained and
will do nil I cmi to encourage the sale of
vonr medicines. I have used one ami a
half hollies of Congo Oil and two and a
half b-itlles of your Native IHseovery for
women's diseases, anil that is all thu
medicine I huve taken in
Six Months,
and T riii in better health than I have
been for the past twelve years weigh
more and can work without feeling as
though I should
Drop Da id

willing that nil who tiro alllictcd should
know of the wonderful results from using
your medicines.

IN ANNUAL SESSION.
Oregon Yearly Meeting of Uie Friends
Church.
Newberg, Or., June 30.-The Oregon
yrerl) meeting of Friends church was
helC In annual session her on th 26th
Inst. Thf meeting Is well represented
by dil gate from various parts of the
state. There are also representative
fn m California and many of the East
ern slates. The work has been pro
gruslng harmoniously, and the report
and statistic show that the church In
Oregon Is In a prosperous, growing
condition. While the Friends church
ha- t-ein, perhaps, the last church to
be Introduced Into Oregon, yet Its In
fluences are being felt, and It i ex
tel ding Its borders Into unoccupied
territory. The subjects which have
been taken up and considered have
btent reports of the condition of the
church; the adoption of a discipline for
the government of the church In Ore
gon; pastoral and church extension
work: foreign mission; pence and arid
tratlon; education. Including reports
of Pbclflc college at Newberg. and tha
Polytechnic Institute of Salem; Hub
bath school, and temperance. The
Friends of Oregon are establishing a
mlwior on Kake Island, Alaks. They
huve already sent one missionary to
this field, Silas Moon, and they have
set apart two other missionaries whe
wl'.t he sent to this field In a few week.
The reports of Pacific college and the
Polytechnic Institute show these In
stitutions to lie In a growing condi
tion. While the paid year has b?en a
vi ry hsrd year on all tuition mhools,
yet these schools have gone through
the year, and the prospect are that
the nixt year will be more prosperous,
HOW H.3 DIED.
"Did you ever know Just how Sit
ting Hull was killed?" asked Lieuten
ant Bakjr ut the Twelfth Infantry, V.
8. A., of a correspondent.
"I do not think," he continued,
"that the details were evt-r printed.
I never saw them, and 1 was there."
I tell It as nearly as it can be re
called, s the corrondent told It.
Sitting lull was nt his shack with
his sons, near Standing Rock agency,
when ho was sen! for to come to tho
agency. The Indian police wero com
missioned to bring him In, and when
an Indian policeman gets that order,
and finds hla mao, he brings him,
dead or alive, unless the man gots the
first drop. Sitting Bull was deposed
to obey the summons, but one of his
sons, as hauty an Indian as ever
lived, taunted the old man for hla
weakness. He called him a squaw,
and that epithet la on Indian brave
Is the cap he.if of all that la de
risive. The old nvm weakened under
the boy's taunt, and the Indian police
did tho reU Sitting Bull was all
that his admirers claimed for him.
When he fell, the boy who had so
taunted him crept under the bunk
where the old man had slept. He ws
there wh-n Shavohecd, an Indian from
the agmcy, came In. He heard the
story. Ho liked Silting Bull, and
when he waa told that the boy had
taunted his father and was tho cause
of his death, Shivehead said the boy
deserved d,ath, and he was dragged
out from under the bed and killed.
These detail. Lieutenant Raker iya,

Ulcers Broke Out
SLUGGISH LIVER.
Cured by Using Dr.
Grant's Sarsaparilla.
Dear Sirs.' I wish to tbank Dr. Grant
by letter for the wonderful cure effected
upon me by using his Sarsaparilla and
Grape Root. LaBt summer I was taken
sick with what the doctors called la
gripps. I did not seem to get any letter.
My liver was in a horrible condition, as
I Was constantly throwing up bile. My
legs commonced to swell and in a short
time ulcers broke out all over them and
I suffered terribly. A traveling man
whom I knew advised me to try Dr.
Grant's Sarsaparilla and Grape Root. I
did so, and after taking seven bottles I
waB completely cured, scars all healed
up and I felt like a new man. I highly
recommend Dr. Grant's Sarsaparilla and
Grape Root to all aillieted.
Yours truly, .
