\/
CAREER OF BILL ANDERSON AND
HIS MISSOURI FOLLOWERS.
Becoming the Terror.of Missouri in
the Civil War?Deeds ol Blood?
His Last Fight.
"Did you ever hear of Bill Anderson
of Missouri*" This was the question of
an ex-Confederate Major General, with
whom I was not long ago discussing the
story that an attempt was made during
the war to bribe .Mosby. lie continued:
"Moshv was never half such a terror in
Virginia as Bill Anderson was in Missouri.
"When the war began, Anderson, like
about half the people of the State, was
for the Union. I have no doubt he would
have gone into the Union Army but fcr
an event which changed the whole current
of his life and transformed the nature
of the man completely. He lived in
a county which was about equally divided
between the I'nion and the Confederacy.
In an adjoining county, which
was strong for the Union, resided his
two sisters. Their sympathies were entirely
with the South, and they gave
very open and injudicious expression to
them. Party feelings ran so high in the
neighborhood that these two women
were taken from home by some Union
men and locked up in a house by themselves
on the pretext that they might
give information to the Confederates.
While they were thus imprisoned the
house fell, killing one of them and crippling
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 notsrruple at the murder
of a woman.
"When Anderson heard of this outrage
he almost went mad. As soon as
the tirst burst of hisfnry was over he determined
to avenge the death of one sister
and the crippliug of the other. lie
organized a band of eighty men and be
gan bis work of b!ood and destruction.
He did not enlist in the Confederate
service, because he wanted to be free
from all orders and iu his own way to
work out his burning desire for revenge.
He was about thirty years old, but nearly
every one of his men was younger
than he. Host of them were boys from
eighteen to twenty years of age, sturdy
boys from the farms, who could ride
like Indians and shoot with deadly
precision. They had superb horses
which they soon trained to wonderful
control. Their only weapons were six
shooters. Not a man in Anderson's command.
from first to last, was ever seen
with any other weapon. Every one of
, them carried four revolvers, two in 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 away as
they rode at full gallop.
Their first act was to kill a dozen
men who were supposed to be implicated
in the outrage on Anderson's 'sisters.
They then began scouring the country,
burning and plundering the houses of
Union men and spreading terror over
half-a-dozen counties. Hand after band
was organized to meet them, but they |
all shared the same fate, death and rout.
Andwooa. a?d alLitis J>oys 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 perfectly
trained horse in his teeth. He
coulu guide tne animal wnerever ne
chose simply by the motion of his body.
Then, with a six-shooter in each hand,
they would dash right into the enemy's
ranks, firing right and left and making
[ every bullet tell. They could shoot with
the left hand as wel as with the right,
anil in many an engagement they killed
^7 ^-^aore than their number.
\ "Anderson was a swarthy little fellow
who did not weigh more than 120 pounds.
He wore his raven hair down on his
shoulders, and in battle his little black
eyes glowed like fire. He fought more
like a demon than a man His one ;
thought was to kill. He never took any '
prisoners, and not on ^ of his men was
ever captured alive. They had riiised the
black Hag, and it had been raised against
them, and they fought with the furious
courage of desperation. Anderson never
wore a uniform of any kind. He was
usually attired in a diner auit of ieans
and wore a broad-briafmed, black wool
hat with a long white feather in it. His
men were attired in black velvet coats,
gorgeously embroidered, jean breeches,
w^iich were for ever stuffed in their big
boots, and big felt hats. They all had
j long hair, and as they scoured the country
w^re the very picture of a gang of highwaymen.
"There is no telling how many men
they killed. I should say a thousand was
a small estimaie. Once, after they had
been terrifying a
Captain Johnson of the Federal State
Militia started after them with a force of
310 men> Johnson met a farmer and
acL-orV Via 1-naw trh#?rp> A nrJnrenn
was. He replied:
' 'Yes. He is in a ravine about four
miles from here, but you had better
le.tve him alone.'
44 'How many men has he?'
" 'About eighty, I guess, but you had
better not fool with him.'
"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
hours from the time he met the farmer
he was killed, and over 200 of his men
lay dead about him. Only about forty
of the 250 escaped the merciless fire from
the revolvers of Anderson's men. Anderson
lost only about ten men, whose
places were soon supplied. Tie 200
Union soldiers thus slain were buried on
the spot, and Congress has erected a
monument above their graves.
9 "General Guitar, who bad command
of the Federal troops in that part of the
State, issued an order that no quarter
should be given to Anderson or any of
his men. A few days later Anderson
captured a tram on which there were
twenty-three recruits for the Union
Army. He filed them out on the side
of the track, shot them dead, ,?ad on the
breast of each corpse pinned a piece of
paper with these words written on it:
" 'Done by order of General Guitar.'
"On the same train was Congressman
Rollins, of Missouri, who was troinc to

and said:

"Rollins, who^tMnjsek-looking fel"
'No: I am a mmlier of the Gospel.

Anderson said he wasn't /killing preach
crs, and the CMBUjBMttan escaped,
though it is certait?Gcwij|f any man in
the bloodthirsty crtiwd-had recognized
him he would have been shot instantly.
"Once Anderson and his men dashed
into Fayette and surprised 200 Federal
troops who were encamped there. They
drove the Federals out of the trenches
which they had bmjfcjaraund the court- ,
house, and finally fCKM&them into the

There was fever at the time, so we laid

we separated, part staying on the

two boats and going to other islands. I
and two men stayed oh Devil's Kock and i

| We got tired and sang out to them to
come over and get us. They started
to the boat aud pushed her oil,
wading out a little way to keep clear of
the rocks just covered at high tide. All
of a sudden one of them uttered a fearful
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 .^hore and was just stepping
out of the water, when two long feelers
wriggled up and around hia 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 first crushed
to death and then dragged down. Their
fighting seemed to have maddened.thc

A TYPICAL SWELL DINNER.'
HOW ONE WAS GIVEN BY "EXCLUSIVE"
NEW YORKERS.
Bills of Fare With Each Guest's
Portrait Drawn by an Artist?
| What was Eaten.
In one of her New York letters Clara
j Belle says: The anti-dance dinners are
I careful affairs, it need scarcely be said,
I for they are inevitably compared, con-*
| trasted and discussed by the guests
when they assemble immediately after,
ward. Mrs. William Waldorf! Astor's
dinner, on the last of these occasions, was
| for only twelve couples. The long table
had no cloth, the beautifully polished
I mahogany being bare, except for a strip
j of finely embroidered velvet through the
center, on which stood rare flowers in
art vases and wax candles in elaborate
candelabra. At each guest's place lay a
hand-j ainted bill of fare, with his or
her name not on it, but instead a caricature
portrait, by means of which locations
were made. These pictures did not
distort the faces, nor at all offensively exaggerate
any personal pe uliarities but
were merely big heads on small
bodies, and" altogether rather flattering
than otherwise. They were
exquisitely drawn by some clever
artist, and one who did not
care to be known as having done
such utilitarian work, for no mark of his
identity could be discovered on the cards.-;
To every lady was also provided a big
corsage bouquet,tied with satin ribbon to
harmonize with her toilet. A great va
riety of colors must have been provided
? ? j a i * !_
Deiorenana ana Beieou-uus uuumv uumwcurately
made by some expert after the
arrivals, because no instance of a bad
match could be seen the table round. The
erentlemen got button-hole bunches of
Bowers. Mr. and Mrs. Astor led the way
into the dining-room, but separated and
took places opposite each other at the
centre of the board. The rest found
their assigned chairs in pairs. The feminine
toilets were beautiful and costly,
but in no instance gorgeous. Simple elegance
seemed to be aimed at.
The repast began with raw oysters,
tiny ones,opened on the deep shells, the
outsides of which had been burnished
until they were fit for iewelry. They
were not served on plates, but in frames
of twisted and silvered wire, each of
these novel contrivances holding ten.
The next course was clear soup in handpainted
dishes. Boiled salmon, with
white sauce and Parisian potatoes, came
third, The fish was not thought on
j dishes ornamented with pictures of fish.
L Such crockery has gone out of fashion
with the extremely swell, and now it is
i not thought refined to have represents
tions of anything eatable painted on
dishes. Even flowers are not approved
for such purposes. The idea is, that if,
in lifting a morsel of delicate * food
a rose should be uncovered, the
highly educated and acute palate of the
.eater might be offended, chicken croquettes
and asparagus were fourth; next
small broiled birds, then fillets of beef
with mushrooms; then ices with cake,
and finally coffee. It will be seen that
no great variety was afforded, but the
cookery was perfect. The dinner began
at 8 o'clock and lasted until 11. Talk
occupied much of the time, but there
was hearty eating ^encrully for it is considered
stylish now for women to have
robust appetites.
Was there alcohol in this dinner?
Plenty. Total abstinence is not practiced
in any swell Mew York family that
I know of. A different wine was brought
with puprv course And each wine had
its separate and fanciedly appropriate
glasses. Chablis came in a small glass,
with a slender stem and concave sides,
holding no more than a good swallow,
which was taken down at one gulp by
most of the guests. That was regarded
as an appetizer, and accompanied the
oysters. The soup was simultaneous
with red wine, tasting like Macon, and
served in stemmed glass whose sides
were convex, thus holding enough to sip
slowly during the course. The fish was
contemporaneous witn a i\ueuisu ?mo
in a green, thin tumbler, and in this case
decanters were left within reach of all
the diners, so that refilling was handy.
"With the chicken came red and white
Bordeaux in the original bottles. Just
after the beef a rum punch was served in
tiny cups of some rare China ware. The
champagne arrived with the de>sert, and
there was a choice of three makes.
Embarrassed Clerks.
The clerks in music stores often have
laughable experiences. A young lady
walked into one of the largest on Washington
street and said,.or seemed to say:
4T want Willie Nye." A boy was sent
to scour the store tor William, and when
that ycung gentleman presented himsell
it would be hard to say whether he or
the girl look the more astonished. "Did
you ask for Will Nye?' he said. "Certainly
not," she replied. "I want that
new song: 'Will and I.'" An entirely
new clerk at another store came near
fainting several times during his first
day behind the counter. He had hardly_
taken his position when a young -lady"
with blonde tresses and eyes whicbi
seemed made of bits of Italian sky.
walked up to the counter. Fixing he!
orbs upon him, she said: "Kiss Me,
Darling, Ere You Go." They had to
take him out and place him under the
faucei, while another clerk gave the customer
the music she desired. He had
hardly recovered enough to resume his
place when a maiden, of perhaps seventy
winters, remarked to him: "Ah! would
that I could love thee less!" During the
severe illness which lollowed his hair
turned a raven blank. Rut to-dav this
clerk is the most calloused man in the
store. All day long girls talk to him
like this: "I want a beau 1" ''Giveme
back my heart, my love!" "Oh. tell me
that you love me!" "Come, Birdie, come
and live with me!" And he merely replies:
"Fifty cents, please!" and wraps
up the bundle. ODe can get used to
anything, in time?Boston Herald.

(JVwm Wis TTeeJMt/ Record, Dundee, N, Y.)
There are many people in this country who ?
are suffering untold agony from the ravages o
of diseases, who have been medicated until ?
the very sound of the word "medicine" sends t
a thrill of horror through their sensitive jj
n./f.ninm OM/1 vrnf ffiATr orft oHIl lnoklnflT? S
'46BU'OUJ? fit
to tfeir shattered constitution and restore d
to them their health. To this class of sufferers
the Record., without solicitation, desires to n
say a few words, not with the intent to ad- 5
vertise a man who to-day is doing more for
this class of sufferers than Den can describe,
but because we know, not only from personal a
experience, but from the experience of ?
others, that what- we are about to ?
say in regard to Dr. Kilmer, of Bingham- ?
ton, N. Y., and his Herbal Remedies are ?
facts, asd it is a pleasure to let the sufferer g
know that there is a Medicine that has done, c
and is still doing so much lasting benefit to ii
the afilicted. Dr. Kilmer has been represented
in the advertising columns of the i
Record for over two years, and during that ! C
period we have received many communica- t
tions asking if his Remedies were as repre- ?
sented, and have always felt that we could
safely recommend them. Dr. Kilmer is one
of the best-read Physicians of the present f
day. He probably has the largest practice, i
and examines ana treats personally more pa- 6
tienta at his large and fully equipped office ?
in Bingham ton yearly, than auy other phy- *
sician in the country. 10
These Herbal Remedies which he sends out j C
are prepared and prescribed by him in hisj ;
own private practice. Their component parts |
are carefully selected from Nature's great
labcratory, and are compounded in a scientific
manner so as to be especially adapted to [
the different forms of diseases for which they
are used. They are the result of years of J'
bard, patient study of the science of medi
liinn>
There seems to be at the present time a tendency
toward a great many Kidney, Liver
and Bladder troubles with the people of this (
country, and we wish to speak more particularly
about Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root Kidney,
Liver and Bladder Cure. We will say
on the outset, we are not writing sensational
"gush" for Dr. Kilmer, but knowing personally
as we do, of many important cure3
wrought from the use or this medicine, we
believe it to be our duty to the afflicted to encourage
them to avail themselves of the use
of this valuable Remedy.
We know a Mr. Chas. E. Roe, of Unionville,
Steuben Co., N. Y. who had Bright's
d'sease, and was told by the best Physicians
of Hornellsville. N. Y., that there was no
hope for him, who was prevailed upon by
a friend to try Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root
Kidney Cure. He did so, without the least
idea or being benefited, but the result was
most gratifying to himself and family, for
he was cured. Saved from death by that
dreadful disease. Another case, that of
Russell Sandford, of Wayne, Steuben Co.,
who had a terrible bowel difficulty which
would not vield to the medical skill of good
doctors, who, at our own solicitation, tried
Swamp-Root, and he told us after using several
bottles his trouble was removed, although
he had no control over his bowels for
a year previous to using the medicine and
had been told that he would never be any
better, and that his earthly career was
limited. Our druggists here in Dundee
*>11 no thev have sold hundreds of bottles
of this medicine and in no instance
have they ever heard aught but praise
from the persons using it. We might men*
tion scores of simi.ar cases that, to our own
personal knowledge, have been helped out of

Carious White Iron.
A writer upon the products and resources
of Arkansas says: The most
remarkable and interesting mineral of all
this region is the white malleable iron
ore, regarding the existence and majleaSility
of which a great deal of skepticism
is said to exist. It is found in the
corner of Howard County, adjoining the
frontier of Montgomery, Polk and Pike.
Uunng tne war, it is siatea on gooa authority,
the inhabitants of the vicinity
used to take the ore as it was picked up
from the ground, and in an ordinajy
blacksmith forge, hammer it into horseshoe
nails. Whether this be true or
not, it is certain, and can be abundantly
proved, that the ore can be taken, and,
being heated in an ordinary blacksmith
forge, can be welded and beaten into
any desirable shape.
The outcrop of this ore, as far as it
has been explored, runs for two miles
west to east, showing a width of from
fifteen to thirty feet, with an unknown
depth. There can be no doubt that this
development of iron, in so pure and
malleable a form, will some day be immensely
valuable. The magic touch of
a railroad will convert it into gold.
A Terrible Fire.
What a thrill of terror passes over us when
we read tlio record of some fearful devastation

are daily being consumed by the inward fire of
fever, caused by consumption of the lungs,
which could be subdued by Dr. P.erce's ''Golden
Medical Discovery."

Gents Since 18721 have been troubled
with rheumatic gout in my feet and limbs,
part of the time so badly that I was unabl?
to walk. Each year found me a little
worse than the preceding, although I doctored
continually, but until I used "Dr.
Pardee's Remedy" I found no relief. I
have taken this for several months and
it has cured me. I am not only free from
pain and soreness, but in better health .
than I have been for years. I consider
your rheumatic remedy invaluable I am,
