How a Mild Mannered, Peaceful Ohio Youth Grew to Be the Most Cruel and Bloodthirsty Fig ure of the Eebellion LTis Mother Still Living. The slow-going, old fashioned Village of Canal 1 over, in Ohio, pleasantly sit uated in the I road, fertile valley of the Tuscarawap, was the birthplace of Wil liam Clark tjuantrell, one of the strang est and most sinister figures of the late war, and here bin aged, white-haired mother, after a peaceful and blameless life that throws in a stronger light the bloody and violent career of Ler way s ard son, awaits the final summons. The small story and a half cottage in which Quantrell w as born is still standing at the corner of tw o of the side streets of the village, says the Kansas City .iir corres pondent, and there are many of the villagers who recall the guerrilla leader as a sinooth-faeed, flaxen-haired, light hearted boy upon whom the baleful shadow of future events had not yet fall en. In visits to Missouri and Kansas I have met and talked with many of the companions of (juantiell and with others who were eye-witnesses of his deeds. To secure the prologue to his career I jour neyed to this place and for several hours this afternoon sat and talked with the mother of this extraordinary man about whom so much has been said and writ ten and of w hom so little that is really true is known. THE BOYHOOD OF Ul'ASTRKLL. Mrs. tjuantrell is now 74 years old, havicg been born in Somerset county, Pennsylvania, in April, lSl'i, but carries well her weight of years. She is below the medium height, her blue eyes areun dimmed by age, and her round, pleasant face must have once been very hand some. There is a strong resemblance be tween the features of the inothei and those of the son, as seen in the portrait in oil that hangs on the wall on her humble home. "I can only tell you," she said, "of my son's life before the war. Clod and his men alone know his later deeds and the motives that prompt them. No one ehe does. My son was born herein Canal Dover, July 31, 173.1. My hus band's father was a lifelong resident of Hagerstow n, Md., and my husband was borne in that place in 1S1.. Soon after I w ss born my own father moved to Chain bersburgh, Pa., where I passed my girl hood and received my education. My husband had relatives in Chambersburg, and it was while visiting them that we met and became engaged. In 1S30 he decided to start in business here in Canal Dover, and so we were married in Cham bersburg in Octaber of that year and came west Our son William was born in the following year, the first of a fami ly of eight children jiven to us in time and four of whom died in infancy. My eldest daughter died in 1So3, and my son Franklin in 1SS2, leaving a wife and four children, who are now grown. My son Thomas is the only one of my children still alive. He lives in Montana, where he has a family and is doing well. "My husband was a tinker by trade, but soon after we came to Canal Dover became a school teacher and in time prin cipal of Union College, in which position he died in 1S04. As a boy William was bright and studious. lie attended Union College under his fattier and graduated when he was 10. In the following fall he became a teacher in one of the lower departments of the college and later taught for several terms in the district schools about here. SETTLED IS MEN" DOT A, ILL "In 1S55, thinking he could do better farther west, he went to Mendota, 111., and tangbt there for a year. Then he re tnrned home and remained until 1S57, when he went out to Kansas Territory with a parly of Canal Dover business men and I never saw him again. He was a handsome boy, slender in bjild, but muscular. His eyes were blue and his hair soft as silk. Tnougb of a retir ing nature he bad a ready smile and a warm heart and was never known to be quarrelsome. I never knew such un bounded surprise as was expressed by those who knew him when-we began to bear of his war exploits, and the old lady's chin quivered as she spoke. One of (loantrell's redeeming traits seems to bsve been a deep snd tender love for his mother. He wrote h ?r more or leas regularly during all bis western wanderings and until the war came al ways sent her part of the money he arne ed. His letters, along with other memen tos gathered with loving and patient care the motherstill faithfully treasures. In these letters he constantly expresses re gret at having led a roving, reckless life and makes oft repeated promises to sow bis wild oats and settle down. I was shown the last two letters bis mother ever received from him, written from Stanton, Kan, where he was then teaching school in the winter of 100. The handwriting, to some extent, resembles that of s wo ESTABLISHED 1837. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 11. 1891. man and the letters reveal a remarkable depth of poetical feeling. "There is no news here," he writes in closing his last letter, "but hard times and harder still coming, for I see their shadows, and coming events cast their shadows before, is an old proyerb, hut I do not feel that my destiny is fixed in this country, nor do I wish to stay in it longer than possi b'e.for the devil has got illimitable sway over this territory, and will hold it until we have a better set of men snd society generally. Tbese were the last words the mother ever received directly from her son. Before the close of the foil) w ing year strange irony of history Quan trell had become the scourge of the west ern plains. One of Quant rail's companions in his boyhood days at Canal Dover was W. W. Scott, a union soldier during the war and for many years past editor of a weekly paper published here. ' Q uantrell," said Mr. Scott to me, "was my earliest play mate, being one year my senior, and we were schoolmates and companions nntil he left for the west, in 1857. Tben'we be came correHpondeuts, and his letters, down to the fall of lyiO, are slid in my possession. He was fond of books and quick to learn. He was remarkably neat in his person, but ill at ease in the pres ence of ladies and generally averse to their society. Fishing and hunting were his favorite pastimes. He was an expert shot and could throw stones w ith uner ring accuracy, but there was nothing in his conduct or in his letters to indicate his after career, save that he would occa sionally shoot a pig through the tip of the ear to make it run and squeal and then would laugh loudly at its antics." It adds to the strange enigma Quautreli's career presents to know that his father, s man who held the esteem of all who knew him, was an ardent abolitionist, and that the son, until two years before the war, was a devoted enemy of human slavery. UI A.NTKEI.l's EARLY TEARS I.V TnKWEMT. Quanlrell bad not yet passed his 20th birthday when he made his appearance in Paola, Kan, in the spriug of 1S'7. Paolawasone of the democratic towns founded to neutralize the influence of the 'free soil" settlement. A sale of Indian trust lands was in progress when (Juan trell reached there. It was provided that sales should be made only to "actual set tlers," but wholesale fraud was resorted to to render this stipulation of little ac count, In many instances a settlement was made by running a wheeled shanty onto the section it was proposed to bid in, after which alliJavit would be made that the demands of the law had been fully complied with. Quintrell engaged to hold down an eighty-acre claim for a hotel-keeper in Paola. Later he claimed that he had been cheatel out of his pay, and to reimburse himself drove off a yoke of oxen belonging to his employer. He was followed and the oxen taken from him, but he was allowed to go his way. Late in lS-8 Quantrel appeared in Law rence, Kan, having for some unknown reason taken the name of Charley Hart, and for a year or more was employed as a teacher and as agent's clerk among the Delaware Indians at their reservation on the Kaw River. He attached himself to and gained the confidence of a small knot of daring spirits in Lawrence, who were ever ready to aid the escape of fugitive slaves from Missouri and to give protec tion to the free colored people who in considerable numbers had moved from the adjacent states into Kansas. In this, however, be was not prompted bysny worthy motive. He did it to cloak his connection with s band of Missourians who were kidnaping the free colored people of Kansas and running them into Arkansas, when they sold them into slavery. The company of kidnapers made repeated trips to the border coun ties of Kansas and the number of their victims soon mounted into the hundreds. Great indignation was aroused at their work. When Qaantrell's connection with them finally became known be was forced to flee for safety to Jackson Coun ty, M.ssouri. HIS BLOODY RECORD BEtilNS. Hiscareerof bloodshed now begin. He was accompanied in his fight into Mis souri by three fellow slave stealers, and while they lay camped in a piece of woods near the house of a wealthy farm er named Morgan Walker they entered into a conspiracy to rob the latter. At the last moment he resjlved to betray his companions. Finding some, excuse for bis absence, be sought out Walker's son, gave him the details of the proposed raid and agreed to assist in shooting his as sociates when the advance should be made. Thus warned, the Walkers called in their friends, and when the a'tack was made all but Quantrell were shot dead. He afterward defended this glaring treachery by the claim that he was doing the public a service, which was true ; and the further claim that his associates had killed his brotaer, which was false. Soon after his advent in Missouri Q ian trell went to Texas and from there to tha Indian Territory, where for a time he was the cm pan ion of Joel Mayes later chief of the Cherokee nation. He was present at the battle of Springfield, where General Lyons lost his life, and also at the battle Lexington. Following the latter engagement he returned to Jackson County, where he lived at the house of Morgan Walker, and adopted the calling of a bushwhacker. His first act in his new role was one of signal cruelty. With a few companions he planned the death of two Missouri unionists, a father snd son. His victims being unarmed when attacked ran and hid in a covered bridge. The son was shot down and his body thrown apon the bridge. Qiantrell's party then fired the bridge at bith ends and watched it consume the body of the sin while the father was burned alive. Two of the perpetrators of the outrage were afterward ctptured by the union forces, tried, convicted and hanged. The only excuse offered f jr it was that the two men killed had been stealing the horses of rebel synipathiurs. tluantrell had now completely surren dered to the passions that then swayed the people among whom he had cast his lot, and his education, daring and supe rior intelligence st once made him leader. At Blue Springs, Mo , in May, 1S61, his famous band of guerrillas was organised and its sudden and merciless raids soon bacame the terror of the Kansas border. Q lantrell's band was made up entirely of volunteers, the most of them being young farmers from the Missouri border counties, and it also included a number of Kentockians and Arkansans. F.Ach member was armed w ith s rifle and revol ver, the latter being the favorite weapon. No oaths were taken std no vouchers re quired to secure membership. "Can yon shoot to kill ?" was the only ques tion ssked of each new volunteer. At first Quantrell spared the lives of the prisoners taken in the raids, but this clemency was short lived. On March 22, 1S62, his band to the number of sixty five was camped on the Little Blue. During the tay a paper was brought into the camp containing s proclamation by Gen eral Ualleck outlawing the band and ordering its members shot snd hanged whenever found. Q'isntrell read the de cree to his men and gave all who desired it permission to leave. A score of men who had joined the ban 1 the day before at once mounted their horse3 and rode away, but all of the original members re mained. On the following day a union soldier fell into the hands of the guerril las aud their leader himself shot him down, remarking as he did so "Halleck orders, but we draw blood." After that, in raids upon young villages in Kansas and in attacks upon detachments of union soldiers, prisoners, citizens and soldiers were alike slain without mercy. No one was spared nolens to gratify some whim of the moment. Till LAWKKSCK MAS3.URF.C AND ITS f Ear EL. In the summer of lsj;, at a time when the borders of Kansas and Missouri were almost denuded of union troops, Quan trell prepared for his long contemplated raid on Lawrence, tlie most bloody and ruthless chapter in the history of the war. Various motives Lave been assigned for this raid, it being claimed on the one hand that it was made to punish General Jim Lane, who lived in Lawrence and had been very active in his hostility to the guerrillas, and on the other hand that it was instigated by Quantrell to avenge some insult he had received while a resident of the town. Be this as it may, the guerrilla leader's plans were skillfully laid and boldly executed. While the only union forces then in east ern Kansas, the Ninth Kansas cavalry, under Colonel Preston B. Plumb, were scattered along a long stretch of frontier and Lawrence, wholly unprotected, relied for safety upon its distance from the Mis souri, Qiuntrell on the night of Aug. 1 , 1S03, at his camp on Blackwater Creek, near Columbus, Mo, collected bis follow ers to the number of 271 and briefly ex plaining bis designs rode toward the Kansas border. The advance was begun at sunrise on Aug. 20 and pushed so energetically that, despite frequent detours rendered neces sary in ordre to avoid encounters with the union soldiery, st sundown Aug. 21 the guerrilla band at a point some thirty miles below the town of West port crussed the Missouri border into Kansas. The dress of tSe guerrillas closely resembled the federal uniform, and to the farmers whom they encountered as the advanced the leaders said that their followers were recruits for the Ninth Kansas cavalry. Some of the farmers, suspecting danger, at once set out for the camp of Colonel Plumb, fifteen miles away, and '.he cav alrymen we e soon aroused and ia pur suit. But their horses were worn snd beaten by a long journey on the previous day and they failed to overtake Quan trell, who at early dawn galloped though Franklin, five miles from Lirence. The attempts of Plumb's scouts to reach Law rence were foiled by those of Qaantrell, and just before 4 o'clock on the morning of Aug. 22 the guerrillas were in sight of the doomed city. There were two detach ments of union recruits then in Ltwrence one white and the other colored, (but both were unarmed. A nnion otlicer, mount ing at the door of the Eldridge House for a ride to Fort Leavenworth, thirty miles away, heard a pistol shot, and glancing around quickly saw a body of horsemen riding rapidly toward the town from the southeast. He was seen by the intruders st the same instant, and as those in ad vance dashed toward him he realized that a dash for the river was his only es cape. Shouting and firing his revolver to arouse the sleeping people as he went along, he rode at full speed toward West Lawrence and soon reach a sma'.l bridge spanning a deep ravine that opened into the Kaw River, a quarter of a mile away. Into this ravine leaped ollicerand horse and disappeared from view. The oflicer reached the river bank in safety and aroused the colored recruits who were sleeping in a barn near by and all but three of them escaped. A CARNIVAL OF BLOOD. In the meantime for six long hours, under the blazing August sun, the car nit al of blood and death bad gone on unchecked. When the guerrillas entered Ltwrence, some eighty of them scattered about the streets of the town, but the main body under Q'tantrell rode straight for the camp of the unarmed white re cruits, where 100 men were sleeping, happily unconscious of impending death. The scene that followed was described to me a year or so ago by one of the guer rillas who took part in it. "The lirst thing I knew," siid h, "we were right on the camp. Save the sentries and a stray man or so hanging about the fires there was not a soul to be seen. A sharp cry rang out from the sentry nearest us. Discharging his piece squarely at n, he shouted: "Corporal of the guard! Post No. 6' and fell riddled with a dozen balls. That brought them out like bees swarming from an overturned hive, and into them we rode, dealing death at every jump of our horses. We crashed through tents and among sleeping men. They tried to rally and form a square ; we broke it and trampled then under foot, Their officers behaved like heroes, but bayonets were no defense sgainst the quick and deadly work of the six shooter. Up and down the camp we rode. Here would be a scjreof detper ate, half-dressed men, standing at bay around an overturned tent. A quick charge, a ringing volley and the riders would spur over a pile of dea l and writh ing bodies to a fresh attack. What hur ried and ill-organized defease there was lasted but a moment and then a panic seized the survivors. We ran them down and shot them remorselessly. In three minutes it was all over and a camp had been turned into a graveyard. There was not one of the soldiers alive five minutes after we struck the camp." The work of death did not end here. Frerv man or bov w ho appeared in the ' streets was shot down, snd among all the victims there was scarcely a man with a gun. The guests of the Eldridge Hotel were saved by Qaantrell'a order at the Heralc request of Robert S. Stevens, a lawyer, to whom he was indebted for some former set of kindness. This, however, was the only act of mercy shown. Three hun dred buildings were fired and every busi ness place in the town sacked and plun dered. When Quantrell finally ordered a retreat at 11 o'clock the business por tion of the town was in flames, and scores ol dead bodies lay buried nuder the fierce August sun. He was hotly pursued by the forces of General Kwing and Colonel Piumb, but made good his escape into Missouri, w here his follow ers disbanded and scattered to their ho nes. Quantrell was accompanied on this raid by 120 confederate cavalrymen belonging to Shelby's division. Their commander, a lieutenant named John son, was wounded in the pursuit and afterward shot in Missouri by union scouts. Q'tantrell ended the Lawrence raid with a loss of but seven men. The number of his victims, unarmed men and boys, was 2Sd. Later, in defending the outrage to a southern woman, Quan tised said : "I wanted to kill Jim Lane, who lived there, and as I hadn't the honor of his acquaintance I killed every man I could see to shoot at." Quantrell now resolved to make his way to Kentucky and from there to Maryland, where, as he afterward stated he iutended to surrender with Lee or again engage in guerrilla warfare. He dressed his men in tlie federal uniforms stolen from the bodies of the union soldies at Boster Springs, and success fully eluding the Union posts in Arkansas reached the Mississippi in safety. After trying various points he finally effected the passage of the river fifteen miles above Memphis on New Year's Day IStVi. Once within the federal lines, Quantrell represented himself as a federal oflicer on special scouting dnty, and drew rations and supplies at the several union poets throngh which he passed. His band crossed Tennessee into Kentucky and passed through Big Creek, Covington, Paris and other places on their way to the mountains of southwestern Ken tucky. Stopping one night at a country hotel, Q'iautrell, after supper, saw his men to bed and ordered them not to leave their rooms unlets he called for them. However, some of them disobey ed this order and went to the barroom for whisky. Here they fell in with a group of federal officers. Guerrillas and soldiers drank deeply and finally fell to quarreling. Pistols were drawn, and in the fight that followed several of the ollicers wetethot dead. This untimely encounter served to reveal the identity of Q'lantaell snd his men, snd the guer rilla leader saw that their only safety lay in flight, The guerrillas hastily mounted their horses, and by hard riding eluded the pnrs'iing enemy and reached the mountains. But federal cavalry under Major Bridgewater and Captain Terrell drove them from one hidin place to another and the forces of the latter final ly brought them to bay on May 10, lsw, nearTaylorsvill, Ky. Here Q tantrell made his last stand an-1 fought h:s last fight Two of his followers were killed and one wounded ; the rest escaped, scattering in all directions, and in the end making their way back to Missouri as best they could. Q lantrell himself was mortally wound ed. He was shot through the shoulder blade, the ball striking bis spice and paralyzing him. Two days after the fight he was taken to the United States military prison hospital, in Lyuisuille, where he died on June ti. He as bur ied in St John'sceuietery, Louisville, and when they went t ) dres him for the grave, they found fifty marks on his body made by bullets and sabers. In hia final moments his better nature returned and the last words, it is said, that fell from his lips as they grew cold in death, were the name of his mother. As shrewd ss he was daring, and a) fearless as he was merciless, reading character at a glance and easily molding others to his will, Quantrell seems to have been an ideal leader for such an outlaw band as he gathered around bis roving standard. But, while there were among his fol lowers men who were moved by wrongs, real or fancied, such as the loss of slaves, the burning of d wellings and the killing of relatives in battle, their leader could claim no justification for his deeds, and his name has passed into history as that of the most sinister figure of the war.

Oneday as Dr. Pierce, a well known physician, stopped to pay his toll he ob served to the gatekeeper : "Considering the benevolent character of our profession, I think you ought to let us pass free of charge." "No, no, doctor," replied the man," we can't afford that You send to many 'deadheads' through here as it is." The story traveled, and the word be came fixed.

The fat man who sat in the rear seat of the smoker saw a man crots the aisle counting his money. "Seeing that roll of bills," he said, "reminds me that I know something about money that very few of the people t ut of the Treasury Depart ment know." He reached down into bis pocket and fished cut a $1 bill. It was new, and be pointed out a diminutive letter C on it right under the bill's number, and anoth er down in the other corner. "Now," he said, "I don't suppose that a man of yon knew that these seemingly unnecessary letter are on the United States bills. And even if you had noticed them, I am will ing to bet that not one of yon can tell what they signify." Half of the men in the car were listen ing to the fat man and none of them could tell what the letters meant, al though one or two said that they had noticed them. Well," went on the tat man, "I wish one of yoo gentlemen would take a bill and tell me what the last four figures of the number sre." The commercial traveler bad a bill. The last four figres of the number were 5,321. The fat man said, almost instant ly, "The letter on that bill is B." When the bill was examined the diminutive B was found on it in two places. Half a dozen other bills were produced and when the fat man was told the last four figures of the number he was able to tell w hat letter would be found on the bill. In each case the letter was either A, B, Cor D. "The explanation is simple," said the fat man, after he had done the trick suc cessfully every time. "If yon take the last four figures of the number on any bill, no matter what its denomination is, and divide them by four, you will, of course, have either a remainder of zero, one, two, or three. If the remainder is zero, the letter on the bill will be A. If it is 1, the letter will be B. If it is 2, the letter will be C and if it is 3 the letter will be D. "This is one of the many precautions taken by the government against coun terfeited You can tell instautly wheth er at bill is bad or good by making that test. I wouldn't give a five-cent piece for a J 1,000 bill, no matter how perfect it seemed, if its little letters did not corres pond with the remaiuder obtained by dividing the last four figures of its num ber by four."

The subject of as-iessment valuations and actu.il valuations of property in this Jttale will form an interesting chapter in the forthcoming report of Secretary Stewart, of tbe Internal Affairs Department. This mat ter has been placed in charge of M ijor Isaac B. Crown, tbe Deputy Sn-retsry, and be bas given it great care. In bis report be will say concerning the percentage which assessment valuation bears to actual valuation : "In order to determine this question in tbe most certain and reliable manner a plan of opera- . lion was devised and the department sent its representatives to make examination of the records of the counties from which infor mation was to be procured. Great difficulty bas always been experienced in fixing lbs figures at which real estate should be assess ed. It is well known that the law requires tbe assessor in filing the assessment of prop erty to do so with referenc to its actual value. "It is safe to say that in al! counties tbe rates of aessmeut are below eighty per cent '.im of the actual valuation, and in many cases tbe percentage of assessment valuation does not exceed forty per centum of the actual value, while in other couuties there is still greater disparity between actual and assessed valuation."
