HOLD REUNION nilStgir
N
AT an enthusiastic reunion yesterday"
of Confederate veterans In the offices
of Colonel R. S. Howard 127 First
street, was organized "Oregon Camp" of
the Order of United Confederate Vete
rans. The .meeting was arranged by re
quest of General George F. Alford, 'of
Dallas, Tex., famous Southern cavalry
leader of the Civil "War. He Is devoting
his later years to the interests of this
order, -which corresponds to the G. A. R.
organization of Union veterans.
There are at present about 1700 camps
of the Confederate Veteran Order in the
United States, 33 of which have been or
ganized by the personal effort of General
Alford, to whom the work is a labor of
love. L
The General Is one of the most noted
of the survivors of the" Southern lead
ers. Seventy years crowded with ad
venture and achievement have not dulled
his zest for life. Keen-witted, debonair, a
brilliant conversationalist, and possessing
a memory simply marvelous. General Al
ford's personality is one of the most in
teresting in the country.
He wears habitually the uniform of a
Confederate General. As he sat yesterday
chatting with fellow veterans at Colonel
Howard's office, dwelling with remarka
ble eloquence on the events of the ro
mantic past, two hours slipped by un
noticed by his hearers.
9 Stating the objects of the v order. Gen
eral Alford said that probably 75,000 veter
ans of the Confederacy are yet alive and
should all belong to the organization, for
the furtherance of its social, literary,
historical and benevolent purposes.
"It is needful," he said, "that we per
petuate the correct and unbiased history
of the "War, and see that it is taught
our children and our children's children."
He also spoke at some length on the his
torical causes of the War. Immediately
following General Alford's address the
camp was organized with the following
membership:
Colonel Louis C. Garrigus, Dr. George M.
Wells, John Burkhart, Captain Harrison
H. Duff, Albert T. Smithy William D.
Black, George S. H. Jackson. Judge W. H.
Effinger, Colonel Robert S. Howard, H. B.
Jenkins, D. C. Burton. William E. Wester,
John R. Stockman, Dr. J. M. Fox, Wiley
G. Pillard, Charles E. Morgan, Charles R.
, De Burgh, James Doyle, Dr. Hickman,
Gentry, Parker, George M. Trlp-
lett and George F. Alford.
The following officers were elected for
one year, or until their successors are
elected: Colonel L. C Garrigus, captain
commandant; Captain G. S. H. Jackson,
first lieutenant; Captain J. P. Burkhart,
adjutant, secretary and treasurer; Miss
Nannie E. Duff, sponsor. The election of
other officers was postponed to a future
meeting of the camp. On motion of Colo
nel Garrigus, the name of the camp was
fixed as Oregon Camp, A. C. V. On mo
tion, the cordial thanks of this camp
were extended to Adjutant-General George
F. Alford, for his gratuitous services in
visiting Portland and organizing this
camp. He was unanimously elected a
member of the camp. On motion, the
thanks of the camp were tendered Colonel.
R. S. Howard for the use of his office and'
other countesles shown the veterans.
It is the intention of Miss Duff to pro-'
ceed at once to institute a chapter of the
Daughters of the Confederacy, there being
quite a large number of the wives, moth
ers, daughters and sisters of veterans
in this city. The Adjutant was authorized
to enroll the names of Confederates mak
ing application for membership between
meetings. His office Is at 229 Second
street. There is no charge for member
ship; the purposes of this organization are
purely social, historical, literary and be
nevolent. Down South the greatest har
mony and good feeling exist between the
veterans and the G. A. R., both frequently
meeting in the same hall and using the
THE LAST OF
Remnant of Once Dreaded Tribe
(Special correspondence of the Evening Post.)
WASHINGTON, Sept 15.-?The news
that the last remnant of the
once combative and dreaded
Modoc tribe are preparing to remove from
the little corner of the Quapaw reserve
in Indian Territory, to which they and
companions of the Lava Beds mas
sacre were consigned as prisoners, calls
up some weird and not altogether pleas
ant memories.
The Modocs were cut out by nature for
"irreconcllables," or, In modern parlance,
"kickers." They were never satisfied with
anything even the rule of their own kins
men of the Klamath tribe in Southern Or
egon. After throwing off that yoke and
wandering about the Pacific Coast In
search of otherlndlans and Isolated white
settlers to prey upon, they were soundly
whipped by a detachment of "United States
troops.. But they had not yet had enough;
and presently they made another out
break, lod by their war chief. Captain
Jack, and attacked the ranch of a settler
named Brotherton, killed the head of the
family, his two adult sons and a hired
man, and laid siege to the ranch house in
which Mrs. Brotherton had taken refuge
with her two little boys. She was a woman
of great courage, and with her own hands
barricaded ,all the possible entrances to
the building, armed both the boys with
rifles, and took one herself, and held the
fort for 24 hours, killing two of the band
end wounding six.
As soon as the Indians had raised the
siege and made off, Mrs. Brotherton and
her sons slipped out of the cabin, and,
between walking and running, managed
to gain a military camp, about 20 miles
away, and give the alarm. General Can
by, the local Commander, at once organ
ized an expedition under Lieutenant
Colonel Frank Wheaton now a retired
Major-Gcneral to force the Indians out
of the lava beds, where they were in
trenching themselves, and back to their
reservation. Wheaton appears to have
thought rather lightly of his task, for,
in a letter acknowledging receipt of his
orders, he -said: "I have 400 men ready to
start for the Lava Beds. All are enthu
siastic Wo will meet Captain Jack about
day after tomorrow, and I think that
Mr. Jack will soon report at Port Klam
ath, lashed to the pommel of my saddle."
He was so sure of a speedy capture of
the whole band that he urged that 'the
Indian Office make the necessary arrange
ments in advance for taking care of the
prisoners.
He had counted without his host True,
all his preparations had been carefully
made for surrounding Jack's stronghold
and attacking it at daybreak the morning
after the arrival of the troops; but Jack
was too much of a general to submit to
that About sunset and without warning,
he gave the signal to his warriors to be
gin the battle themselves. The Modocs
were fairly well armed, ahd understood
handling their weapons; and from behind
every jutting lump of lava oame a shot
which told. The troops, taken wholly by'
surprise, returned the fire wildly, and as
soon as night fell were glad to retire, with
the loss of eight killed and 20 wounded
men, and 20 head of horses, abandoning
their wagon train entirely and retreat
ing to a ranch SO mfle distant
Defeat of the White Soldiers.
The result of this first encounter, which
occurred in January, 1S73, spread dismay
throughout the region. Reinforcements
were hurried forward from the nearest
noints. until a body of 900 additional regu
lars had reported to Wheaton, and Colonel '
A. C. Glllem, of the cavalry, followed to
take command. Meanwihle, however, the
press of the East at the Instance of lead

had recently come into vogue, made so

loud an outcry against further bloodshed
that the Washington authorities counter
manded Gillem's orders for a fresh expe
dition, and the President appointed A. B.
Meacham, of Oregon; A. M. Roseborough,
of California, and a Methodist clergyman
named Thomas, as a peace commission to
treat with Jack and try to bring him to
terms by moral suasion. General Canby
was instructed to. join this commission and
assist it in person. .
The commission approached the lava
beds in February, and sent in a messenger
with a flag of truce to invite Jack to a
peace powwow. Jack was 111 disposed to
parley, especially as he had long cherished
a grudge against Meacham individually.
But attached to the Government party
was a ranchman named Falrchild, whom
the Modocs knew and had always liked,
and the chief se"nt out word that he would
meet Falrchild and another white man
named Steele, of Yreka, Cal., on a certain
day, which he named, if they would come
with only a few companions of their own
choosing, unarmed, and without any sol
diers. Steele was a lawyer who had once
defended a group of Modocs prosecuted for
cattle stealing, and they regarded him as
friendly. Falrchild and Steele accepted
the Invitation, tjiough' realizing the haz
ardous character, of the enterprise, and se
lected three newspaper correspondents for
their companions, but Imposed the condi
tion that five unarmed warriors should be
sent out'by Jack to act as .the escort for
the white party. General Canby also sup
piled them with a few hundred cigars to
distribute among the braves before the
talk began.
Hooker Jim, .Boston Charley, Bogus
Charley and Shacknasty Jim constituted
the escort that came out to meet the
whites, and Scar-Faced Charley, Jack's
head lieutenant joined the party later.
The parleying crew were led Into the
heart of the lava beds by a tortuous and
hidden trail, and found themselves In a
natural fastness3 formed by volcanic
action. They took with them some pack
animals laden with bacon, flour and other
edibles as a peace offering for the Indians.
Before starting Steele addressed a few
words "of warning the newspaper corre
spondents. A Dangerous Undertaking.
"Gentlemen," said he, "this undertaking
may be made a success or a fatal failure
by the degree of discretion you show.
Keep cool. Do not talk to the Indians
leave all that to Falrchild and myself.
Submit to any indignity, maintain a con
ciliatory air throughout, and do what we
do without question. If Captain Jack asks
who you are, we will explain that you ar
men who write for the newspapers that
pass under the eye of the Great Father,
and that you will take careful notes and
report faithfully any grievances he may
have to make known." These Instructions
were obeyed to the letter.
The Indians were far from cordial in
their greeting, but abstained from any
overt act of hostility. They did, however,
without so much as a grunt of apprecia
tion, make off with the provisions the
U whites -had brought and feasted on these
, while the guests were left to cheer their
stomachs with a little coffee. A lormai
council of some duration was .held, at
which, after Jack had opened the dis
cussion with a short talk, Falrchild and
Steele assured the Indians that the Great
Father was much grieved at the way his
red children had acted, and wpuld feel
still worse on learning that this peace
commission was not going to be kindly
received. Jack's response was a tirade
against Meacham, whom he denounced' for
some reason as having brought all their
troubles upon the Modocs. But at the
end, though with a savage and threaten
ing gleam in his eye, he announced his
willingness to meet the Great Father's
emissaries by and bye.

General Alford is Adjutant-General on
the staff of General John B. Gordon, commander-in-chief
of the Confederate Vet
erans; also Adjutant-General on the staff
were informed that they were expected to
remain where they were till mornlngv
They were distributed among certain
prominent Indians as bedfellows, and kept
under close guard. In the morning another
council was held, and then Jack let them
depart calling out as they drew a long
breath and hurried away: "Meacham you
tell Meacham me want him come. Me
want see Meacham." Although these
words were uttered with an attempt at
sobriety of manner, the bystanding In
dians undoubtedly placed a special inter
pretation upon them, judging by the
coarse laughs and grimaces with which
they were received.
Slaughter of Peace Commissioners.
A few weeks later a council was ar
ranged between the Modocs and the
Peace Commissioners. Canby, Meacham,
Thomas, a white man named Dyer, and
Frank Riddle, an interpreter, met Jack,
Boston Charley, Bogus Charley, Shack
nasty Jim, Hooker Jim, Schonchin, El
len's Man, Tobey, and Black Jim. All tho
negotiators were supposed to be unarmed.
After some preliminaries, Jack proceeded
to state the terms under which his band
would resume their normal relations with
the Government He had got as far as
to name the site which he wished the
Government to give them for a home, and
the Commission had made a partial prom
ise that they should have It when sud
denly he thrust his hand into his bosom
and drew forth a revolver, which he aimed
at Canby's head, at the same moment
pulling the trigger. Only the cap explod
ed. He tried another barrel at once, and
sent a bullet through the General's brain.
Canby had tried to escape, but Jack and
Ellen's Man had pursued him, and as he
fell they stripped him of hjs clothing.
Then Ellen's Man put another bullet into
his head. Dyer-and Riddle broke and ran,
Dyer covering his retreat with a pistol,
which he had till then concealed; both
escaped.
Boston Charley had drawn a revolver on
Dr. Thomas at the .same time that Jack
had attatcked Cariby. The minister re
ceived the bullet In his breast, just above
the heart, and dropped upon his kneed,
begging, his assailants to shoot no more,
as he was already wounded unttf death.
Their response was to push him over and
.mock him about ills religion, shouting at
him: "Why don't your medicine turn the
bullets? Isn't it strong enough?" Final
ly, Bogus Charley, placing the muzzle of
a gun against the dying man's head, .blew
a hole through it, while his lips were
moving in prayer. The murderers stripped
his body also.
Meacham, who had been simultaneously
attacked by Schonchin, made a hard fight
for his life. He was. shot In different parts
of the face and head, and fell, as the In
dians supposed, dead. He was bald; but
Boston Charley, who was resolved to have
his scalp in some way, whipped out a dull
pocket knife and hacked away at the un
covered skin till a squaw whom the vic
tim had once befriended interfered, shout
ing that the soldiers were coming. The
Indians engaged la T&e bloody business
scattered, and Meacbam's life was saved
by the ruse, tnougn he was always a
seml-invalld after that, and disfigured out
, of all semblance to his former self.
i General Jefferson C. Davis took the field
against the Modocs, and after a stubborn
: fight captured the band. Jack and three
' of his most savage followers were hanged.
' The rest were sent to the Indian Territory
as prisoners of war, and", warned that
! tney wouia nave to stay there 2a years.
' Many of them died in captivity. To-
wara3 tne ciose or tneir long sojourn, a
few of the band had wandered back Into
the country from which they came, their
spirits broken and their bodies weakened
by the climatic change to which they had
been subjected. Scar-Faced Charley was
among those who fell a victim to con
sumption without seeing their old home
again.

CHRONIC SORES
Signs of Polluted Blood.
There is nothing so repulsive looking and disgusting as an old sore.
You worry over it till the brain grows weary and work with it until the
patience is exhausted, and the very sight of the old festering, sickly looking
place makes you irritable, despondent and desperate.
A chronic sore is the very best evidence that your blood is in an unhealthy
and impoverished condition, that your constitution is breaking down under
the effects of somfe serious disorder. The taking of strong medicines, like
mercury or potash, will sometimes so pollute and vitiate the blood and im
pair the general system that the merest scratch or bruise results in obstinate
non-healing sores of the most offensive character.
Often an inherited tain tbreaks out in frightful eating sores upon the limbs
or face in old age or middle life. Whenever a sore refuses to heal the blood
is always at fault, and, while antiseptic washes, salves, soaps and powders
can do much to keep down the inflammation and cleanse the sore, it will
never heal permanently till the blood itself has been purified and th deadly
germs and poisons destroyed, and with S. S. S. this can be accomplished the
on a natural
and the place
S. S. S. is both a blood purifier and tonic that puts your blood in order
and at the same time tones up the system and builds up the general health.
If you have a chronic sore write us. No charge for medical advice.
