After tbe rain of Friday night tbe clouds lifted and the weather was fine Saturday morning, although a little warm. The rain proved to te quite an advantngo as It settled the duiit and maiio It ylearsnt to drive and attend the unveiling ceremonies at the Confederate cemetery. There was a largo audience present but tbe ceremonies opened a little lat. It Is quite probable that the threatens ing weotber limited the attendance somewhat, but there were thousands who were undeterred and who were glad that they took their chances. A number of eminent person were present to take part in the ceremonies and to do honor to the occasion.

Including such men as Governor Dockery, Judge Valllant, General Kmnard, Judge and Cautt, General Cabell The following was the program presented: Perhaps few of our saw a monument unveiled as It Is an unu; sual event It Is something that doesn't meet one every day, or even every year, and many people no doubt are carious to know how It Is done.

Forty years ago today and about this hour of tbe day, and about eight miles from this spot there was fought to a finish, one of the most sanguinary battles of the civil war, or of the World's history.

When the luit gun had been fired there were more dead on the field of Wilson's creek than were killed In th. whole of the late war with Spain. On account of excessive heat, and owing to the fact that the dead of both armies must be burled, by the Confederates, who held the field, they were hut.tlly laid In shallow graves on the field where they fell. On the ith of January, 1803. the battle of Sprlng flcid was fought, and resulted ss It did, dlsastroutly to tbe Confederates, their dead were burled In shallow i'raves on the field, which was Juat on the outskirts of tbe, then, little town.

which has since grown to be a city of no tnean proportlona and covers tbe entire field where the battle waa fought The ground all about and nearby Is historic. As we grow older, the night of lime lecma all tht more rapid, and looking backward we are prone to think It only a little white since tht bodies now composing this "Silent City of the wert scatttred hither and thither over thta beautiful country.

Others again hare been gathered from thu historic field whert they fell, nobly fighting tor principles which to them seemed worth tb lac rifle. They had been hastily burled by their comrades In vitne Inataneea by their enemies without coffin or winding sheet, and in nearly sll cases without stone or ablet to tell ought of him who slept to quietly beneath.

And this explains wby the names of th. great majority art unknown. Years had parsed since "gr im vlnaged war had smoothed his wrinkled front" and yet bo strong arm Intervened to uvt them from tht fatt wblib teemed Inevitable.

DID THE WORK ALONE Waa Promised Clemency and 125,000 if He Would Produce tht Bare. WORKED MONTHS ON TUNNEL LATER Gold bars amounting to $280,000, stolen from the strong room of tbe Selby Smelting Works during Monday night last, have been located and worth 'of the' precious metal bus been recovered. Tbe balance will be taken from Its biding place within a few hours. The detectives worked on suHpvct Jack Winters all yesterday afternoon and the greater part of lust night with tbe result that be confessed bis crime and at an early hour this morning took the detectives to the spot where be bid tbe gold.

The spot chosen by him was a poor one for secreting so much treasure, it being ut the end of a railroad wharf but a short distance from tbe company's plant, and but a few feet of water covered Its hiding place. when he made up hi. mind to tell all about the crime that he knew, wa. exceedingly willing to give all information that was necessary toward the recovery of the bullion. He praetlrally assumed charge of opera itloni Capu Seymour and Supt Yonder Ropp to the dock.

He acted more like one ot the detectives employed on the care than a prisoner. As soon as he arrived at the water's edge be called the superintendent to bis tide and "Now watch what I am going to show you. lie careful that you get the locations right" Stooping plcked up three stones and pacing forward, he tosried one of them Into the aster. It fell to the south of the spot at which tb. prt.ou er stood.

Another Itone fell to tho east and the third was thrown dlm tly In front of Winters. That," said the prisoner, "will mark the water boundary of tb. plac where your gold Is hidden." Stepping to the left Winters drew a nail from his pocket and ailed for a baninii r. Hi then paced off a f'W jrar.ls to th. right and drove another nail la the timber.

"Tb. gold." he 1,11 rB iween aiinewh'er In Hue with spot marked by tb. stones I Just threw Into the water." A small boat was'onred and Into It FherlfT Valle, Detctlv. Kimball, of the Plt.kerton Agenry. and to laborers were loadid.

Winters. asltd lu tb. sear for th brliks. He talked glibly all th. while.

The deep mud finally put a stop tu tl.e operations and It was decided tu dulid Ct ff rin'tn trying to recover the rest of the treasure. Winters told tht ofTH.i. that planned th robhery long ago with minute detail. He had been fwo or three month working on hla little tunnel. It had taken two night's labor to rut through tho brlrk wall of tho smelter.

Most ot tbe boring of the bottom of tht vault had been done on the night when the gold was taken. He carried the plunder, which writ very heavy, from tbt vault to the wafer and deposited It where the wat was from three to six feet deep at low tide. The distance from the vault the cube was about a quarter of a mile and he tnado fourteen rdnji! trips, Ho was at work four hours 'ott Monday. Four, small bars ot round gold, he concealed among stones ot breakwater Just at the further mouth of the railroad tunnel. His purpose had been tu use this gold torpresent needs.

Winters on bU la.it trip, had perceived that dawn breaking. Not daring to complete the trip, he laid on the shore the two bricks, which were found Tuesday morning at tht point where the robbers' boat was supposed to have been. The trail of red pepper ending at that point had been a blind. In view of the fact that promises of clemency were mado to, Winters in consideration ot his ilnearthlng of the gold, It Is thought that his punishment will be light. Detective Gibson Is quoted as saying that It was promised' Winters by President Rawlston of the Selby Smelting Works, that he should not only not bo prosecuted, but should receive $25,000.
