When the order came to fall into line for the march on Wednesday m ornin g, the buck tails were not num erous. Sam Kingston of San Jose and S. M. Horton of Mountuin View, nDd one other whose name I have forgotten, and myself, were the only ones that hud marched to the command of Coloucl Kune iu that great crowd. A small, pleasant looking lady saw the buok tail in Comrade Hor ton’s hat, came to him and asked: “ Are you one of Colonel Kane’s buck tails?" In replying, “ Yes,” she put her arras around him and erving. said: “ I was iu the court house when Colonel Kane made that war speech on that sunny April day in 1861.” She had pick ed lint, rolled bandages and helped make haversacks for the boys out of the pine woods to take down to the battlefields in the south. And thus ended the encampment. The comrades went back home to tell stories of their reception and welcome in California, and all I talked with were delighted with their reception in the city and pleased with the towns and country outside, with the people and the fruit. A tale will be told in the east that will answer back H. H. N ichols . 783 Mission street. A WAB SKETCH. I write this little sketch at the request of some friends: It was in the spring of ’61, in April, I was living with my aunt in Potter coun ty, western Pennsylvania. On the 12th of that month Sumpter was fired on and forced to surrender nni .Lincoln called for troops. As I say I was living with my aunt who had two girls near my own age, both school teachers. There was scarcely any (lags in country homes. One cold not go to a store and buy Hags; they were not kept on sale. The girls and myself decided that we must have a flag on this dav. My brother had come over to see me to talk about war. Both of us were under age, yet we would go to war. But the flag—where to get the materinl. It was the style at that time for young men to wear colored oversliirtK, I had a bine one with wide color. My brother had a red one of the same desigq. I said I would give my shirt; my brother made the same offer. The girls not to be out done volunteer ed a skirt—a white one—so we had red, white and blue. The aunt and the girls, Emma and Mary Drake, went to work to construct the flag, and in a few hours the flag was done, created by loyal hearts. It wns a good sized, beautiful flag. My brother got a flagstaff, fastened the flag to it, took it to the gable end of the house facing the road, and nailed it there, and we took off our hats and bonnets, raised our bands and swore allegiance to Uncle Sam and to defend that flag. In a few days Col. TbomaB L. Kane called a war meeting, and young meu out of the Pinery responed and met at the court house at Coudonsport. Here Colonel Kane talked to ub of our country and loyalty; the crime of treason and a terrible war. When he had done 300 of us young men came forward and wrote our names, swore we would go down to Dixie and stay until the finish. Each of these young men was supposed to be a marksman and good hunter. The badge of the regiment was ?, buck’s tail worn on the hat, which afterwards made the regiment fam ous. One thousand men were raised to form this regiment from the wilds of Pennsylvania in the pine country. They were from Cleerfield, McKane, Potter and Crawford counties, and the only regiment of the kind. They were also called the First Pennsylvania Rifles. They enlisted about April 21, 1861. Their record is a part of the histojy of the United States. About that flag my cousins had made on the 15th day of July, 1865. On my return home from war, pass ing the old farm house, there was the flsgstaff and a few stripes of faded blue and red and white. The flag had a stoyv sacred to me. In the great crowd in San Francisco during the encampment, down about the Palace Hotel where so many lost comrades were found, 1 stood one morning talking with a comrade about the bloody battle of Antietam. A lady, trying to pass saw my Pennsylvania badge, said, ‘ Here is a soldier from Pennsylvan ia.” I looked toward her. then instantly, as she gazed at me, she said: “ Is not this Henry Nichols?” “ Yes,” I said, who are t o u ? ” Age had crept npon her as well ns up on myself In a moment I saw it was my cousin, she who had given her skirt on that long away April day to help make the flag. Who can tell the joy of auch a meeting. Although thirty-three years had passed since I last saw her. memory was as fresh aq of yesterday. With la x le s t Argued in Salem Today. The test case, to determine the question whether there can be a valid levy of the taxes of 1903, is being argued this afternoon be fore the supreme court at Salem. Judge C. H. Carey represents Multnomab county, contendiug that the levy will be valid, wbile the opposite yiew is advocated by S. B. Linthicum. The arguments will be concluded this afternoon and it is expected that a decision will be rendered soon Suould the supreme court decide that there can be no valid levy of this year’s taxes it will then devolve upon Governor Chambelaiu to de termine whether he will call au ex tra sessiou of the legislature to correct the defective law. The governor is now iu the East and is not expected to return until about November 1. He hns al ready expressed himself as exceed ingly reluctant to put the state to the extra session, but if confronted by the alternative of leaving the state and every city, county and school district without income for a year, it is generally believed that he would call the legislature to gether. The conditione imposes co limit upon the length of a regular ses sion, although members are re stricted to 40 days’ pay, but it is expressly provided that special sessions shall not exceed 20 days. A very few days would suffice to amend the tax law, if no other busi ness were taken up, bat the legis lators will be at liberty to pass any other measures they may see fit. The work of the special session cannot be restricted to the matter for which it is called together.— Portland Daily Journal. - * »•»-«— - The stock of the rubber trust is said to be water proof.

Officers of the American Navy are much embarrassed because Chinese servants are not to be allowed on warships. If Hanna and Johnson are correct in their estimates of each other the Ohio campaign is being led by a “ corruptionist” and "fakir.” It is said that Senator Cockrell is being boomed for the presidential nomination in order that Governor Dockery may get to the Senate. At a recent procession of anar chists in San Jaun, Porto Rico, the American flag was carried draped in black. A riot ensued and now sev eral of the paraders are in prison. Those people who are sending a memorial to Congress asking that the Negro be placed on the same plane as the Indian, forget that the Indian will soon cease to be a ward of the government. Speaking of the Alaskan bound ary dispote, Mr. Gourley, a mem ber o f the Canadian Parliment. said, “ No maritime people will ever per mit a neighboring country to own a thin line of 400 miles of its coast, and if the United States will not sell us that territory for a decent sum of money, the day will com a when we will take it iu spite of all the recourses that the United States can raise against us.” A brave ta'king man that little Mr. Gourley.
