Rocks VS.. Bullets.

Saturday afternoon one OF the vegetable
Cinnamon cultivating Il piece OF ground on
the lower part of Montana street, was
passing down Colorado street on his way
home, wnen he was assailed by about hall
a-dozen BOYS from II to Is years OF age,
who amused themselves by throwing stones
at the heather, and following him almost
to his garden. As soon as he reached the
gate he rushed into the house, and imme-
diately reappeared with a formidable
looking six-shootcr in his hand. o he
turned the tables on the boys and became
the pursurer, instead OF the pursued, but
the urehins contested every inch OF the
ground. They would run awhile, picking ",
rocks lis they went, and then they would
come to a stand still, firing a volley OF mis-
siIes at their pursuer. Being unable to
catch them, John finally tried a shot at
| them, when they scattered in every dlrec-
ton, and the Cinnamon made a hurried
departure for home.

II, The Siu.llS.

Saturday night u number OF lad les OF the
Womans' Christian Temperance Union
held a meeting at the corner OF Galena and
Wyoming streets, the place selected being
the vacant saloon at that point. The
exercises consisted OF singing, praying and
exhortation, aud while the audience was
not as large as the good ladies anticipated
they continued i'll the work until the pro
rramme as arranged was completed. Thus
| far the meetings held have not been pro
ductive OF any apparent results, but the
ladies propose to continue them for some
time in the hope that they may eventually
awaken some interest among the denizens
of that locality. The field is a good ONT
but the harvest is surely not promising.

Lincoln rost lKaa.l FIambeau CIab.

To THE EDITOR: The display given by the
Democratic Flambeau Club of this city, in
Washington at the Inauguration of President
Cleveland was no doubt a grand one, and all
Topeka is proud of it; but nearly every dispatch
sent out from Washington spoke of the club as
the Topeka Flambcau Club" Lincoln Post
Flambeau Club is the Oldest organization of
the kind i'll the United States, and made itself
popular with the Grand Army by tho displays
given at Denver and Minneapolis. 1t, too, was
unfortunate in being called tho Topeka
Flambeau Club" The name of our club is
" Lincoln Post Flambeau Club" ana the name
of the club which participated in tho recent
inaugural ceremonies at Washington is The
Democratic Flambcau Club" Lincoln Post
Flambeau Club is non partisan, and gives dis
plays only for the benefit Of the relief fund of
our Post. This explanation is made rs many
members of the Grand Army are under the inn
preston that our club was the one which gave
the display in Washington. We arc glad our
Democratic friends made good display, and
they are entitled to great credit for it. but we
want it understood that Lincoln Post Fiambeau
Club is not booming any party. We have all par
ties represented in our ranks and we work for
the Grand Army and the relief of our distressed
comrades, their widows and orpbans.-L. J.

DUSHANE POST.
Its Appearance in the Inaugural Procession,

To THE EDITOR: We looked in vain to see
some mention or recognition in the Washing
ton papers of the fact that Dushane Post, No.
3, Department Of Maryland, GAR, was the
only post Of the Grand Army outside Of the
Department Of the Potomac that participated
in the inaugural procession on March 4th.
The Post paraded about 100 strong including
drum corps, and by the courtesy OF the Com
inander Department of Potomac were given
the right of the Grand Army line. After the
parade was dismissed we wero handsomely en-
tertancd at Grand Army Hall by the Depart
wiches hagd-tack aud cigars. The boys all had
good time and enjoyed their trip. Leaving
Washington at G o'clock p. m.. we reached Bal
timore and marched to the Post room in time
TO participate i'll the regular Post meeting then
in progress by the stay-at homes. during which
a rising vote Of thanks was rendered Depart
mcnt Of the Potomac, G. AR, for their courtesy
and attention TO the Post while in Washing
ton. II was also ordered that we send them
one of the marbleiZed badges as a further token
Of our appreciation of their kind attention.
There is one thing more / desire to mention.
You speak Of the absence of all the old famil-
iar war tunes in the inaugural procession.
While that was tho case with most of the
bands and drum corps, it could not apply to
DGshano Post, as they, with full realization
of the situation and the surroundings, proudly
marched up the Avenue with their splendid
drum corps, under the leadership of Drum
Major Hitchcock, playing Down with the
traitor, up with the stars" and passed the
President ut the reviewing stand to the tune
of Marching through Georgia. a."-NoLEN.
