A FAMOUS BUSHWHACKER.
CAREER OF filLL ANDERSON AND
HIS MISSOURI FOLLOWERS.
tlpoomtnjf the Terror.of MUnotirl in
the Civil War Deeds ol Blood
II in Last Fig-lit.
"Did you erer hear of Bill Anderson
o( Missouri!" This was the question of
an ex-Confederate Major General, with
whom I was not long aso discussing the
story that an attempt was made during
the war to bribe .Mosby. He continued :
"Mosby was never half such a terror in
Virginia as Bill Anderson was in Mis
souri. "When the war began, Anderson, like
bout half the people of the iState, was
for the Union. I have no doubt he would
have gone into the I nior Army but for
an event which changed the whole cur
rent of his life and transformed the na
ture of the mun completely. He lived in
county which was about equally di
vided between the Union and the Con
federacy. In an ad;oining county, which
was strong for the I nion, resided his
two sisters. Their sympathies were en
tirely with the South, and they gave
rery open and injudicious expression to
them. 1'arty feelings ran so high in the
neighborhood that these two women
were taken from home by some I nion
men and locked up in a house by them
selves on the pretext that they might
give information to the Confederates.
While thev were thus imprisoned the
house fell, killing one of them and crip
pling the other for life. It is said that
the pillars on which the house stood
were sawed in two by some cowardly
creature, who did nots ruple at the mur
der of a woman.
"When Anderson heard of this out
rage he almost went mad. As soon a
the lirst burst of hisfnry was over he de
termined to avenge the death of one sis
ter and the crippling of the other. He
organized a band of eighty men and be
gan his work of biood and destruction.
He did not enlist in the Confederate
service, because he wanted to be free
from all orders and m his own way to
work out his burning de.ire for revenge.
He was about thirty years old, but near
ly every one of his men was younger
than he. .Most of them we e boys from
eighteen to twenty years of age, sturdy
boys from the farms, who could ride
like Indians and shoot with deadly
precision. They hid superb horses
which they sxn trained to wonderful
control. Their only weapons were sis
shooters. Xot a man in Anderson's com
mand, from first to last, was ever seen
with any other weapon. Every one of
them carried four revolvers, -two ia his
belt and two at his saddle. They were
expert pistol shots at the start, but they
soon became so skilled that they could
shoot a man's eye out at twenty paces,
and could kill a man fifty yards aw ay as
they rode at full gallop.
"Their first act was to kill a dozen
men who were supposed to be implicated
ia the outrage on Andersou's sisters.
They then begifet scuuriug the country,
burning and plundering the houses of
Union men and spreading terror over
half-a-dozen counties. Band after band
waa organized to meet them, but they
all shared the same fate, death and rout.
Anderson and all his boys -knew every
foot of the country perfectly, and when
they were too hard pressed" by superior
numbers they would disband. Each
man would take care of himself, and next
day they would meet at some appointed
rendezvous to begin their deadly work
anew.
"When they went into battle each
man would take the reins of his per
fectly trained horse in his teeth. He
could guide the animal wherever he
chose simply by the motion of his body.
Then, with a six-shooter in each hand,
they wcild dash right i . to the enemy's
ranks, tiring right and left and making
every bullet tell. Ti.ey could shoot with
the left hand as wel as with the right,
and in many an engagement they killed
more than their auniier.
'4Ander-on was a swarthy little fellow
who did not weih more than 1 JO pounds.
He wore his raven ha:r down on his
shoulders, and in battle hit little black
eyes glowed liUe fire. lie fought more
like a demon than a man His one
thought w as to kill. He never took any
prisoners, and not on of h'.a men was
ever captured alive. They had raised the
black flag, and it had been raised aga'n.-t
them, and they fought with the furious
courage of desperation. Anderson ceer
wore a uniform of any kind. He was
usually att. red in a dinsry auit of je ms
and wore a broad brimmed, black wool
hat with a long white feather in it. l!is
men were attired in bla. k velvet coats,
gorgeously enibroi Jered, jean breeches,
which were for ever stuiled ia their big
boots, and bi' felt hats. They all had
long hair, and as they scoured the country
were the very picture cf a gang of high
waymen. "There is no telling how many men
they killed. I should say a thousand was
a small estimaie. i 'nee, after thry had
been terrifying a county for several days.
Captain Johnson of the Federal Mate
Militia started after tltt-m with a force of
3 j0 men. Johnson met a farmer and
asked him if he knew where Anderson
was. He replied:
"'Yes. He is in a ravine about four
miles from here, but you had better
leive him alone.'
" 'How many men has he?'
" 'About eijihtv, I trues, but vou had
better not fool with Lira.'
"Johnson pushed on, confident that he
would soon annihilate Anderson's band
with his superior force. Before he knew
it he was in an ambush, and withiu two
hour from the time he met the farmer
he waa killed, and over Juo of his men
lay dead about h.ra ( inly about forty
of the .jO escaped the merciless fire from
the revolvers of Anderson's men. An
derson lost only about ten men, whose
places were sunn supplied. The 200
Union soldiers thus Axiu were buried on
the spot, and I 'on-! ess has erected a
monument ubove their graves.
"Lieneral Guitar, who had command
of the Federal troupe in that part of the
tate, issued an ord r that no quarter
should be given to Anderson or anv of
his men. A few diys liter Anderson
captured a train oa which there were
twenty-thiee recruits for the Union
Army. He filed them out on the side'
of the track, shot th m dea l, and on the
breast of each corpse pinned a piece of
pa'jer with these ords written oo it:
'Done by order of General Guitar.'
"On the same train was t oogretsman
Rollins, of Missouri, who ww goiat t
Washington. Anderson went up to him
and said :
" 'I reckon we had better take you,
too. I suppose you are a Union man!'
"Rollins, who was a meek looking fel
low, replied :
' 'No; I am a minister of the Gospel.
I have taken no part in the war at all.'
Anderson said he wasn't killing preach
ers, and the Congressman escaped,
though it is certain that if any man in
the bloodthirsty crowd had recognized
him he would have been shot instantly.
"Once Anderson and his men dashed
into Favette and surprised 200 Federal
troops who were encamped there. They
drove the Federals out of the trenches
which they had built around the court
house, and finally forced Ihem into the
court honse. They then rode at full tilt
around the square four of five times,
tiring into the windows of the court
house. Marks of their bullets are still
visible on the walls and window-sills of
the building.
"Anderson never left Missouri during
the war. Only once or twice did he
tight with the regular Confederate army,
and then it was by accident. He refused
to obey orders from anybody, and fol
lowed his own wild and bloody career
in his own fearful wav. At hut he met
his death after a hundred almost miracu
lous escapes. His last battle was fought
after Lee had surrendered and the newi
had reached Missouri. Anderson knew
that he would not be allowed to sur
render and that he would be hung if he
was taken aiive. His plan waa to es-
cape with his men into lexasana tuen
make his wav to Mexico. When he was
trying to get out of Missouri he was one
night surrounded by several hundred
Federal militia. As he led his men in a
desperate effort to break through the
enemy's ranks he was shot in the neck,
fell off his horse, and died in a few
minutes. ot another one of his band
was killed. They shot their way through,
killing twenty-five or thirty of the
Federals.
"Most of them did get to Texas, where
they disbanded and scattered in all di
rections. This is, in brief, the bloody
story of Bill Anderson and his band oi
bushwhackers." Atlanta (Go.) Contti
tutUin. Devil Fish.
"Some of the biggest 'squids' or devil
fish that have ever been caught," said an
old sailor, "have been found around
West India Islands in the Gulf of Mexico
and Carribbean Sea. I was first mate on
a little chunk of a sugar drougher, as the
vessels in that trade are called, and waa
bound from New York to Jamaica.
There was fever at the time, so we laid
oi ia the roads and the bark was loaded
by coolies with lighters. As we could
not go ashore, we rigged sails in the
long boat and used to cruise around
through the little islands hunting for
turtle and eggs. One day we towed
the dingy behind the long boat, intend
ing to "split the party at one of the
islands. When we reached the big isl
and, we separated, part staying on the
island and some of the men taking the
two boats and going to other Ldands. I
and two men stayed on Devil's Hock and
hunted around lor whatever we could
find. About 100 yards off was a small
rock, where the dingy and her crews had
gone. We could see the boat tied up
and the men loafing around the island.
We got tired and sang out to them to
come over and get us. They started
to the boat and pushed her oS,
wading out a little way to keep clear of
the rocks just covered at high tide. All
of a 3udd n one of them uttered a fear
ful scream, and something blueish rose
out of the water and encircled his body
and neck, lie drew his knife and
slashed at it, when another arm arose.
It was a 'squid.' The other fellow was
nearer the shore and was just stepping
out of the water, when two long feelers
wriggled up and around his legs, and in
another minute he. too, wa- being drawn
under the water. Their shrieks and cries
were pitiful, but we could do nothing.
We had no boat and the other party were
not in sight. The men fought bravely,
but to no end. What could they do
against fifty arms, from ten to twenty
feet long, each with a grasp of steel.
Slowly but surely they were lirst crushed
to death and then dragged down. Their
lighting seemed to have maddened the
creature, for shortly after the men dis
appeared the long blue arms wound
themselves around the little boat and
cru-hed it as you would a nutshell be
ween your fingers. The horror we felt
at the bare sight of the poor fellows'
agony nearly drove one of the men crazy
who was with me. When the long boat
came back we reported the matter, but
after that we were never allowed to go
over to tne islands. :-everal times we
h inted fer the devil fish with guns and
harpoons, but he was never seen again
by any of our crew. Chicago Herald.
Gambling For Railroads.
"Talking about poker stories," said a
railroad man, "let me tell you one. Did
you ever hear of two railroads being won
in a pot at poker' Well, I have, and I'll
tell yon about it. Fifteen years or so
ago two little railroads, one ia Illinois
and one in Mi-souri, were owned by two
men who had some business relations
which brought them together in St.
Louis. One owned one railroad, or
controlling share of the stock, and the
other owned the other road. When they
met at the old Planters' House in St.
j Louis, they, with some friends, sat
down one evening to a little game of
poker. At first the stakes were small.
but as the players warmed up the l mit
was raised, and finally reu oved al
together. The pai e got so hot that all
the players but these two railroad men
dropped out. It was a g-ime for blood.
Fortune varied first one way and then
another, and finally they played a jacket
ia which the opener was promptly raised
"inO aad was then raised himself back.
Before a card was drawn the pot held
M,5 )0. 1 ach drew one card, and in a
few minutes both players had all their
money on the table. Then they put up
their railroad shares in good sized blocks,
until when the call was made a controll
ing interest was represented in the pot.
Each man had gone in with two pairs,
and each had tided. The Missouri man
hid the better hand. The railroads
which figured in this game were little
country aJairs, and both were afterward
absorbed into the Gould system."

The fashion of low inner bodices, with
the outer waist of transparent material,
high in the neck and with half-easy
sleeves, is returning and promises to be
popular. This is worn at formal dinners
and those occasions in the evening where

brown silk hose should be worn with
these dainty shoes.
The dresses get more and more volu
minous, and these full skirts, unless
draped by the hand of an experienced
modiste, are apt to have a bunchy and
awkward effect. Almost all the smart,
short frocks, not only ball gowns, are
fulled right around the waist, and when
they are of very rich material the effect
is beautiful.

This treatment, too. In dirwted at effects

What this cause is has been stntaxl by per
haps the hitrh-st pulmonary authority in the
world. . ., the Brrmtptnn Hospital for Con
sumptives, in Ixjudou. Kng.
This malady every year carries oft from
tine-seventh to one fifth of the entire popu
lation of l'.ni;!nnd.
Dr. l avtie, M D., M. R. C. P., London, Is
authority for this statement.

Dr. Tnvne also snys that one half tha total
rmmlier of deaths from all other causes
bave seeds of this disease in the system which
only reouire s me irritant to develop!
Dr. Hermann brehnier. an eminent Ger
man authority, says that consumption is
caused by deficient nutrition of tha lung's,
by JHHjr blootl.
Tti'-se authnrite cannot be disputed. Tha
medical world rwoR;uies them. Tha uric
a id is the irritant in tha blood that cause
the development of the ai-eds which Dr.
Brehmer snvs lie dormant in the blood.
Every particle of blood which passes through
the lunjrs and heart, also geies through
the kidneys, and if they are in the least de
ranged they cannot rid the blood of its kill-in,-
poison. The thousand little hair-like
sewer tubes of the kidneys very easily pet
I'I.h keel up and diseased; and when they do
thev corrupt instead of piirif ving the blood.
Kidney disease mny eist, and yet no pain
occur in that organ, because, it is deficient in
nerves et' sensation.
Dip your tinner in acid every day and- it
soon festr and i destroyed, isend aoid-pol-oned
blood through tha lungs every second,
and they soon give wav.
The Brompton Hospital investigation
showel that ."J per cent, of tha victim of
consumption were afliieted with deranged
kidneys, which permitted the uric acid poi
son t) remain in the blood ami irritate tha
lunirs. This uric acid is always fightm every
vital organ, and it there be any inherent
weakness in the lungs it inevitably causa
pneumonia, cough and consumption.
The real cause of pulmonary troubles lieing
so authoritatively shown to be faulty even
though un-usjx'eied action of the kidneys,
explains a hy, in order to master the dreaded
consumption, one must rid the blood oi tha
uric acid irritant which inflames aad burns
up the lung substance. For this purpose
there is nothing e pial to that great s;eciric,
Warner's safe cure. The remedy has now
the favor of medical nieu all over the world
purely on its n erits. We have no doubt that
if the kidneys ar kept in natural action, cun
sumptiou and a great manv other diseases,
caus d by uric acid, will not only be cured
but will be preventesl.
Wheu the kidney is healthy, no albumen
appears in the' water, but albumen i found
in the water of more than half of those who
die of consumption!
This then, is the condition of things that
always precedes consumption: First, weaic
enod'kidneys: se.ond. retaiued uno acid,
Kisoning the blood; third, the development
of disease in the lungs bv the irritant acids
I a-ssing through them. Then there is a little
ccuch in the morning; noon thick, yellow
matter is spit up, followed by loss of tieah
and strength, with dreadful night sweats;
and when t.ie patient goes to his school
physician for help, be is put on end liver oil,
w hich his stomach, weakened also by uric
a id iu the blood, cannot digest. Because
there is no pam present in the kidneys,
the patient does cot think they are atTecte.1.
but the kidney acid is doing iu work every
minute, every' hour, day aud night, and by-and-by
the disease of the lungs has advanced
until pus is developed, then come hemor
rhages, anil at liv-t the glassy stare which de
notes that the end is uear!
A post-mortem examination of such cases
shows that the terrible uric acid has com
pletely destroyed the substance of tha lung.
It is impossible to cure lung diseases when
the blood is poi-oued with uric a 'id.

Dear Sir:
I was taken with a rery
severe cold last Spring,
ami tried every cure wo
had in tho store, and could
get no help.
I hil our villngo doctor
prescribe for me, but kept
getting worse, I saw an
other physician from Port
Jervis, N. Y., nnd ho told
me he used I'iso's Cure tor
Consumption in his prac
tice. I bought a bottle, and
before I had taken all of it
there was a change for the
better. Thm I got my em
ployer to order a nunntity
of the medicine and keep
it in stock. I took one
more bottle, and my Cough
was cured.
Kespectfully,
Fit AMI Mi'IvELTT.
