Re unlln of Company B. 2lst Mo. Vet. Unfit


In response TO an invitation from
their gallant commander, Capt. ]. w..
Davis, thirteen of his soldier comrades
and members of Company B. met at
his residence In Kirksville, Mo-, Sept. |
18th, 1885, and partook of substan-
tial dinner, prepared by his estlmable
lady and family.
After sharing the bounties of the ta-
bic and enjoying the society of his
family, the veterans formed in line and
answered to roll cali from Sergeant
Paul McCloskey. Sergeant McCloskey,
turning to Capt. Davis, said: "Your
company is In line the last time"
Capt. Davis addressed the boys of
his old company as only one soldier
can talk TO another. All felt the shad-
ows of the past creeping silently
around their hearts while listening TO
the language of brave officer, soldier
and comrade; who stood by them and
with them with unshrinking fidelity in
the dark hours of war. 1t was an
occasion for memory and her tears,
and the old soldiers are not ashamed
of the emotions that controlled their
presence.
At the conclusion of Capt. DAVIS
address, Lieut.. T. w. Baird, stepped
forward, and in an appropriate speech
presented Capt. Davis with a beauti-
full cane. His acceptance of the token
of high respect in which he is held by
his old comrades was eloquently i'm
pressive and will ever have a green
spot in the memories of his boys who
wore the blue.
! After this the thanks of the company
:. was extended to Mrs. Davis who
accepted the same in an eloquent
little speech, in which she said she
asked no higher honor or more pleas
: ant duties than those shared by hel
to day. Rev. B. F. Northcutt ther
moved the blessing of God to remair
with all present until mustered out o
u life's service.
Capt. Davis gave orders 10 breal
= ranks by taking each of his old soldier
:, by the hand and bidding them fare
- we'll Language cannot portray tha
:, parting, but the souls of those presen
:. havesembalmed in it the shrines @
IL immortal memories.
The following was then adopted
c. each soldier causing to be affixed ther
in to his name:
5 Resolved, That we cannot 60 home
without leaving token of the unbrok
en- chain of loyal friendship, every linl
. of which wcs welded IN the fires c

The Oklahoma situalion

WASHINGTON. D. c., March 13.-In
answer 10 telegram from the secretary
of war relative to The exact condition of
affairs in Oklahoma, General Hatch to-
day telegraphed from Caldwell, Kans.,
that no tresspassers were now in the In
dian territory.
About 1900 settlers, he said. were
camped in Kansas near the territory
border. They were threatening to
go over the line, but as
yet had taken no steps of
that kind. Troops are stationed in
the territory" the General said, ''and will
drive Out any invaders that may attempt
to settle on the lands"
At 8 meeting Of the cabinet yesterday
the Oklahoma question was considered
at length. It was said that the impres.
sion prevailed among those who eontem.
plated an invasion of the territory thai
President Arthur's proclamation, rela
tive to trespassing upon the Indian
lands had become imperative
with the close OF his administration
To prevent such an action of the In
vaders, as would naturally issue upor
the prevalence OF such an impression, i
was thought best that President Cleve-
land should issue proclamation simila
TO that issued while Arthur was chic
executive.
This proclamation is now prepares
and viii shortly be issued. 1t will for
bid the invasion of trespassers upon tn
Indian lands in the Indian Territory.
