CANAL LANDING TO SEEBOATS Sixty-eight Years Ago Next Saturday Whitewater Packet Docked at Cambridge City From Cincy. BY 8. B. HUDDEL8T0N.

On the twenty-seventh of March, 1847, a Whitewater canal packet came in after two full days' travel from

Cincinnati, and the people of Cam

bridge City, which was then but a small village, thronged the landing eager to see not only who were the

passengers, but also to express their

gratification for the improved conve nlence of travel.

Anions the passengers were four

that we will notice: the most promi

nent one was the Rev. Dr. Caleb W.

Witt, returning from a business trip

to the city. The others were the wld

ow of Richard Lltterell and her two

sons, frbm the Kanawha valley, about 30 miles above Charleston, W. Va. Mrs. Lltterell had been twice a widow

and her two sons were by her first husband. They were Lafayette and George W. Champe. The boys were

younu men and of . the best West Vir

ginia blood. Their step-father had

been a Revolutionary soldier with a record of seven years service, and their uncle, John Champe, had been an officer of note and is mentioned in history in connection with Washingto i and other works. Boys Were Twins. The boys were twins, born February 6, 1830, at Peter's Hill, and a number of members of the Champe family are still living In and near Montgomery, on the Kanawha river. Mrs. Lltterell was a shrewd lady and having heard much talk of Indiana and wishing to do a good part by her boys, had come down the rivers and up the canal seeking a location. They knew no one here and dfd not even form an acquaintance with the Rev. Dr. Witt. Having landed at Cambridge City, the head ol navigation, in the evening time they put up for the night at the Vinton House. The next day, looking westward, they saw higher ground and remembering their, old valley

home, they wished to get out of the

valley, so they came to Dublin, wnich

as good fortune has provided, was a

wise choice for them. Lafayette Champe secured a clerk

ship with Jefferson Layman, the leading dry goods and grocery merchant -here, where he remained several years and married; then he removed to Kansas, where he died. Mrs. Lltterell died in Dublin, in July, 1865, at the age of 72 years. One of the first things the Champe boys did when they arrived in Dublin was to look for work and they went separately, each one for himself. George W.. feeling a little liking to Caleb W. Witt, from what he saw of him when they were fellow passengers on the canal, sought him and Mr. Witt employed him on a month's trial to work in the garden and to make shingles to cover hiB house. At the close of the trial month Mr. Witt payed him thirteen silver dollars and kept him in his employ throughout the year. Then he worked in the shop for Witt, Hollingsworth & Co., until December, 1852. Enters Medical School. On January 4, 1853, he and Miss Elizabeth Nation, of near New Lisbon, were married and at that time he commenced to study medicine under Dr. Barton Witt. When he entered medical college he and his wife moved to Cincinnati and remained there until 1855. He practiced medicine until he entered the army as first assistant surgeon in the 139th Indiana. After the close of the war b.e lived In Dublin and engaged in the drug business and continued the practice of medicine here. When he first saw the Witt residence he was stricken with an ambition to own it, and he did own it when Witt was ready to sell out. He died there at a good old age leaving a family of highly respected sons and daughters.

ASKS WAR HONORS

FOR WORKING WOMEN

Confederates Trained War Horses Belief of Veterans at Post Room

The Duchess of Marlborough believes that women engaged in work connected with the war should be eligible to receive the industrial war medal which Lord Kitchener has announced will be awarded to workers producing war material. The duchess asserts that the volunteer services of women for various duties at home and at the front have released thousands of volunteers to the firing line, and the women therefore should share in all decorations or other Insigniaa which the government may issue.

DR. SEYMOUR SPEAKS

BEFORE HIGH SCHOOL

A little group of four hoary-bearded i

veterans sat in the G. A. R. rooms In the gloom of yesterday afternoon j and contemplated. i

'The rebs shot through as clean as a

whistle, and dodged every tree,' one

finally said. I never could understand how they did it, let alone the horses."

There was silence for a few minutes

until one turned around and placed his hand on a cannon bullet firmly im

bedded in the trunk of a tree, of which Sol Meredith post has two.

"Here's what it did to the trees," he said, exhibiting the big scar about

the bullet. The conversation then turned to horses and trees and the

part they played in the war. Post Possesses Relics. Sol Meredith post was presented two valuable relics twenty years ago. One of the members made a trip to Cbickamauga and shipped back two portions of tree trunks, each twenty inches in diameter and two and one-half feet In length. These trees stood for thirty years after the war with the bullets Imbedded in them. In shipping,' the one

containing a round mortar shot five inches in diameter, was shaken and

the shot knocked out, but it has been

replaced and Is intact now. The

other bullet, about three inches across,

was shot from a shell, and is embed ded firmly.

- aucn a snen would cut down a

sapling as clean as a whistle," the grand army man said. "But when it

hit one of these big fellows it stopped

I stool behind a tree more than once and felt the shock like the kick of a

gun held loosely against my shoulder.

I was luncky enough to be behind a thick tree trunk, and so I am here to

tell about it."

Other tales of similar nature stirred the memory of .the veterans, but when the first stopped, interest flagged and there was another long period of reminiscence.

Dr. Seymour of the University of Wisconsin, will deliver a lecture before the students of the high school

in the school auditorium on some historical subject next Tuesday after

noon at 1 o'clock. He will give a sec

ond address at the school Wednesday morning. He is said to be the finest speaker who ever appeared before a high school audience. A collection will be taken among the students to defray his expenses.

"Can you imagine cutting a clean

path through a thicket at the rate a

horse can run?" said another, breaking the spell of silence and gloom caused by the dull afternoon.

Nobody could. "Well, I saw it done, and I cau

vouch for it, too. It was a marvel to me. I was lying in biding under cover one afternoon when I first saw it done. There was a cleared space in the distance I could see. One each side was

a heavy thicket made up of heavy old trees and saplings. I could see some activity in the thicket nearest me. I was situated above it and I could not see through the foliage at that distance and tell what kind of operations

were going on, but I knew it was among the rebels.

"Suddenly I saw a party of rebels

burst out of the thicket and dash across the cleared space. In their center was a mounted gun. It was

drawn by horses and was pushed from

behind by men running at full speed. I thought It was horse-play and they would stop at the edge of the thicket, but instead of stopping they went right into it as fast as they could. Gun Hits -Thicket. "When the mounted gun hit the edge of the thicket, trees started flying in every direction. In every thicket there are little runs where the trees are smaller or younger than those about. The hoses seemed to be trained to find thsm. They dashed in and cut down everything In front of them. I saw one of the men running behind the cannon lifted completely off his feet and turned over when, he accidentally ran spraddle a wiry young sapling that sprang up as oon as the cannon passed over It. "They only stopped once. At that time they hit a big elm tree that a locomotive couldn't budge. They backed off and started around it at full clip.

I did not see any of the horses get hit.'.'" "Believe me or not, those horses were trained to dodge trees that wertf snapped down or else they were running so fast that they were out of reach when the trees hit. The rebels trained their horses to do things nobody would ever think of now. They lost less horses than the Northerners, and I dnot know why unless they trained them to dodge bullets, too."

GERMAN WAR FILMS AT PALACE TONIGHT

War pictures depicting the German side of the mighty conflict will be flashed today and tomorrow at the

Palace theatre under the auspices of

the local branch of the German-Amer

ican alliance. Part of the proceeds is

devoted to relief work in Germany. The films were taken under the di

rection of the general staff of the

German army and are said to be the ones which the Kaiser sent to the Suitan of Turkey. The mighty German guns are shown as well as scenes on

the eastern and western war fronts. In other cities these pictures have enjoyed a big patronage.
