That Is What General "Lew" Aspires To Be Called After March 3, 1899. HE IS IN THE TIGHT IN EAENEST, And Are at Work for An Early Candidate for State Cruelly Abandoned Young Woman SUCH Her Kocreant Ixrver for Jjiw to ScbooL Trustees' Attendance on Governor In au Exploration. Marion, Oct. Communications received by politicians here and in iuljacunt counties leave no room for cloubt that General Lew "Wallace is in earni-Ht about his candidacy for the United States senate to succeed Senator Turpie. From the letters referred to it appearsthatthema.naB6ment of thecam- paign of General Wallace has beer.

committed to Frank M. Dice, of fordsville, a shrewd political marajrer. who at one time a member of the state committee. The name of Dice is signed to the letters. The plan of the Wallace campaign is to be to have his candidacy approved by the next Republican state convention.

It i3 recited that while there is nothing in the laws or constitution to give any force or effect to a convention's approval, other states have found this a good way to dispose of senatorial complications; and in this way the selection is made by the people. Some Comment Id Unfriendly. Meanwhile legislatures escape the distracting effects of a senatorial struggle, and there Is no chance for the insinuation that the election of a senator has been influenced by money. Those friends of General Wallace who have received copies of the letter sent out are urged to use their influence, and to secure cooperation of the newspapers of their localities toward favoring the submission of the question to a state convention. Judging 1 from the comments the proposition does not meet the universal approval of those to whom letters have been addressed.

The plan of General Wallace and his friends is doubtless good poll- tics from the Wallace standpoint. the question were to be thus decided the race would be Wallace against the ileld. An Early Political Bird. The first man from this part of the state to announce himself as a. candidate for a state office at the hands of the next Republican state convention Is Captain J.

School Trustws Must Attend Sleetlngs to Select Indianapolis, Oct. The supreme court in the Blackford county school superintendency contention, appealed by dissenting 1 township trustees on writ of mandate, has the ruling of the circuit court and held that trustees must attend a meeting to determine a choice for superintendent. The trustees of Blackford are equally divided politically, while the county auditor differs politically with the present school superintendent.

The supreme court also holds that the dissenting trustees are liable to penalty for absenting themselves, which, under the law. runs from tlO to $500 fine, with imprisonment aggravated circumstances. Superintendent Was Thrifty. Indianapolis, Oct. 2S.

Book rights HAVE never beard of any other soldier getting struck with seven bullets and living to tell it, said Sergeant W. K.

Nason. Sergeant Nason was the color bearer of the First Maine Heavy artillery an tho time of its bloody charge upon the Confederate salient in front of Petersburg, June IS, 1864. A veteran officer of the regiment living at Augusta, C. J. House, who has prepared a history of the regiment, gives this brief summary of the celebrated charge of June 18: "At 8:80 o'clock on the morning of the 18th all was awakened and a general advance ordered.

The First Maine, moving out to the front, halted a minute at the first line of the enemy's works, abandoned during the night, and then pressed on till it reached the Hare field and bonse, it was met by a sharp fire from the enemy and stopped to throw up a strong line of breastworks. "Of this famous Hare field, afterward the site of Fort Steadman and a second famous battle, a Union officer said that he did not believe another place on God's green earth of equal size has drunk up the blood of so many men elain in battle. "Late 011 the afternoon of that day General Meade issued orders for assault in strong column. This work was assigned to the Third division, General Mott in command, and the First Maine assigned to lead for the alleged reason that they, being new to battle, knew less than the others of the hopelessness of the task. At 5 o'clock the regiments were, one by one, drawn up in position, the rank and file believing for the purpose of sleep and rest.

While the others were filing in the adjutant of the First Maine seemed uneasy and paced back and forth before his men, when one of the boys called out: 'Well, adjutant, we are going to be relieved, "With a significant gesture and more significant tone the adjutant replied, 'How are you "One of the captains stepped out and asked what it all meant. 'It replied the adjutant, 'we are all going to And passing out his canteen he said, 'Here, captain, take replied the captain. 'If I must go to I'll go there captain is still selling coal in Bangor, but the adjutant fought his lasc battle that day. "The brigade was soon marched back and massed in the rear of the road, near the Hare house. The First Maine, being the largest of the regiments in the brigade, was divided into three battalions, which were placed one.

behind the other, forming the first three lines at the head of the fact, they were the only troops that went on to the field, as the other regiments threw themselves fiat on the ground behind the breastworks as the column started. "The command 'forward' was a relief to the almost unbearable suspense, and the order 'double quick' senn a thrill along the line. "The assault was determined, but the fire which met them was mosl; terrible. Besides cannon and shell, as the regiment cleared shrubbery which had skirted either flank a six gun battery with double shotted canister opened tire diagonally from the right, followed by a similar fire from the left. "The result may better be imagined than described, o'ut of the 900 who went into the charge more than two- thirds were sent down.

Many of the more seriously remained on the field and after hours and days of suffering, for the Union forces could not and the Confederate forces would not remove them. With so fearfnl a loss and so sudden it seemed like a horrid dream." Another veteran officer of the regiment living near Bangor, Major Fred C. Low, commanded Company during the fight, the conipany to which Nason belonged. Major Low says: "As soon as darkness closed was about four hours after the turned onr attention to the rescue of the wounded and the recovery of our colors. rtanding at that time.

There I found one of my men, whom I afterward sent away to the field hospital, and wrote on the roll opposite his name 'mortally woundedi' This was Corporal William K. Nason, the worst cut np man I ever knew that lived. His body showed nine openings made by the enemy's missiles. "After Sergeant James M. Smith, the color bearer of our battalion, was shot down Nason seized the flag and carried it forward until he fell with bullets through the head, chest and each leg.

He was the last of seven to fall ouit of the nine sergeants and corporals with the colors. He lay where he fell until he was found some time in the night by Colonel Chaplin, who was searching the field for the colors. Nason was unconscious, and his fingers were firmly clisped about the flagstaff. As he was supposed to be dead, no further attention was paid to him then, but the next night when we tried to recover and bury the bodies Nason had He bad recovered cousciousue-is and crawled off the field during the day, and at night some of the men took him into the cellar of the Hare house, where I found him. He, of course, did not return to duty and never knew the particulars of his rescue until 26 years afterward, when I explained it to him at onr reunion.

He always supposed that he was unconscious only a short time and that he was brought off the field the of the battle, whereas it happened about the same hour one day The desperately wounded color bearer is now living at Charlestown, Me. He favored the writer with his first extended statement for the press. Said he: "I was hit by seven bullets on the 18th of June. The most serious wound was in the head, the next in the chest and the next in the left thigh. The head wound doubtless made me unconscious.

All the wounds were received about the same time. I was taken from the Hare house cellar during the night of the 19th of my captain, now Major Low, tells was carried to City Point in an army baggage wagon. There were four of us in the wagon, and it was driven with the mules on the jump all the way. At City Point about 10 a. m.

on the 20th my wounds were dressed for the first time. Their condition was indescribable. "From City Point I was taken on a steamer to Lincoln hospital, Washington, and. later to Davids island, New SERGEANT W. K.

My head was laid open so deep that the pulsation of the brain could be seen.

The wound was nearly four inches long. The bullet in the chest penetrated above and to the right of the right breast and passed downward and out near the backbone on the left side, breaking the lowex left rib. This wound caused the most trouble. The lower opening healed first, leaving pus in the track of the bullet and causing abscesses. The surgeon at Davids island tapped the hollow of my stomach three different times for the introduction of setons, and in consequence I have no stomach, but a continuous line of scars.

From the effects of this wound I suffer with a weak heart and have been taken up for a dead man many times. "Three bullets hit me in the legs. One struck in the right thigh, near the hip, cutting cords and muscles and leaving me a sufferer for life. One penetrated the left thigh near the joint in the back and was cut out on the front, half way from the hip to the knee. last wound and one I received in tho back between the shoulders were given after I had turned with the rescued flag and was retreating with the othera I soon fell.

The loss of the First Maine on June 18 was 210 killed and 422 wounded, about 75 cent of the number engaged. The regiment suffered a loss in ten months' campaigning of 400 men and. 23 officers killed.
