IOWA VETERANS IN NEBRASKA

Capt. Harry ID. Hotchkiss, of this city, has
complied a roster of lows soldiers who served
10 the war and are now residents of Nebraska
AT the regular meeting held at the Fremont
reunion, September 4th, 1884, only 412
members responded TO the call, which it will
be seen was not a good criterion as to the
number of Iowa veterans living in Neb'aaka.
OF course there have been some additions to
the population of this state from Iowa during
the past year, but not enough to make up the
| g,eat difference in the figures given above.
Through his own personal efforts Mr.. Hotch-
kiss has collected the names which are given
in the roster. and the little book will prove a
valuable guide to old soldiers looking for
companions in arms during the late war.

MANY LAND BUYERS.

The influx of settlers at this season is enor-
nous and the Lincoln land offices are daily
beseiged with applicants for farms. One
prominent firm, Kern & Ollie, for the past
two weeks have made large rales in Keith
and other counties to parties from indiana,
Ohio and Illinois. Most of the applicants
and customers are of the better class of farm
ers, who have seen the advantages of Nebraska
over those of the states named, and have de-
termined to take them. They have money,
and in nearly every case desire to pay cash
down for the land they buy. Land parties
are leaving Lincoln oil most daily for the west
ern and northwestern counties, and most OF
them stay when they get thers.

TWO FIREs.

The city of Centralia for the first
time in many years makes fer herself
record.
The record is not s1ch as she would
be pleased to have noticed, for therein
Is found destruction of property.
About six O'Clock D. m. on Tuesday
the fire alarm was sounded, and the
cry of fire heard, on inquiry we found
the boarding house of Mr.. John Bag
ley in the first ward to be on fire.
The "Soda Fountain Engine" in that
city was soon on the scene of action
and did exceedingly good work and
virtually extinguished the fire, though
the engine from this city was taken
there and plyed water upon the build
ing until the blaze was completely ex-
tinguished. Some claim the building
would have burned to the ground had
it not been for the Grand Rapids
engine.
The engines were returned to their
places. and business men and others
had repaired for supper, when at about
half past seven the same evening the
cry of fire was again heard announc-
ing the burning of the Commercial
Hotel, the largest hotel in the city.
The departments turned out again
after some delay, and no better work
was ever accomplished by our fire
engine. That our engineer under
stands his business and handles his
engine to the best advantage was
proved on this occasion That We are
in need of fire company, no one who
was present that evening will question,
but that good wook was done under
the circumstances, was evident, saving
the building before the roof of the
upright part was entirely burned.
Both fires caught from defects in the
chimneys famed by a strong wind all
of Tuesday afternoon. The CONNER
cial Hotel building was insured for
$4,000. No insurance on the furni-
ture and fixtures. Loss to Mr.. u. G.
St.Amour on furniture $500.

MEMORIAL SERVICE.

Last Sabbath morning the 18th, the
citizens Of Centralia and Grand Rap
ids met together in union service in
the Al Z. Church in honor of Gen.
D. S. Grant who is failing very fast
with cancerous sore throat. This day
was appointed by the NJ. E. Confer
ance at Chicago, to be observed with
appropriate services in honor of one
who was the savior of his country in
time of trouble and danger. and is
now languishiug upon bed of sick
ness from which he will probably
never arise.
In accordance with this request, a
most appropriate, able and affecting
sermon was delivered by Rev. A.
Smith, to large audience composed
of the Grand Army boys and citizens
Of both cities who had assembled to
do honor to one of their most gallant
soldiers. Mr.. Smith spoke of Gen.
Grants record as soldier, statesm an,
and citizen in an eloquent manner, be-
slowing upon him and his worthy
deeds that praise and honor which we
would all gladly bestow.
This service was one of the most
impressive yet held in this city. The
singing, prayer and sermon being SO
well adapted to the occasion. That
we are all the better for the meeting
together in such a service, and that
Gen. Grant may be relieved from his
intense suffering and finally pass to an
eternal reward is the ernest prayer of
this people.
