soLDIERLY SENTIMENTS.
HOW THE s'BOYS IN RLUE" SEMI
GREETINGS TO THOSE WHO
WORE THE GREY

There can be no better evidence of the
entire absence of sectionalism between the
soldiers of the late contending armies of
the north and south than is conveyed in
the many kindly sentiments expressed by
the "boys in blue" toward those who wore
the grey, in the demonstrations of the
former to aid and encourage the efforts
now being made to
ENDow THE HOME
for INDECENT ex-Confederate soldiers.
Scarcely day passes by that does not
bring to the committee managing the
grand gift concert some token of the
truth of what is stated above.
Yesterdays mail brought letter to
Maj. Shelly from lady in Atascosa coun-
ty, enclosing dollar for ticket. Con-
Guiding her eplstle, this good woman
says; II am the
WIFE OF A FEDERAL SOLDIER
who served his country faithfully, and
split his blood fighting you confederates.
But the war is over now, and we live to-
gether cheerfully. Can't aid the home
in this western country"
Noble woman! On the reverse of her
letter the wounded federal writes thus: 81
never allow my wife to be better man
than am, so enclose two dollars to help
the home.
EXPECT TO DIE
in some such institution as yours, for l
have carried confederate bullet in my
body ever since April Z, 1872. l
belonged to the Forty-tourth Hi
nois infantry. My hope is that the
money we send you will help buy soft
bed for the Johnny Reb' who shot me, so
his expiring days may be spent in ease
and comfort"
Mr.. w. l.. Goodsell, a member of the
GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC,
living in Wyoming, called at the home
headquarters Wednesday last and offered
his services to aid the concert in any way
in his power. He was entrusted with a
hundred tickets. Before leaving he ut
tered these words: 81 hope to live to see
the day when your Confederate home will
be adopted by the United States, and the
old eripples you have there
DRAWING PENSIONS
the same as our boys. Then
the politicians can take a back
seat. Soldiers have long since
clasped hands across the bleody chasm."
Yes, indeed, there is no enmity between
the old veterans.
Scarcely had Mr.. Goodsell left the room
when Corporal j. s. Burns entered. He
carries an empty sleeve, and belongs to
the Eighth U. S. cavalry. He said to Col.
Lambert:
TAKE THESE OLD sHILLINGs
and put them in the list of prizes. They
are small in size, but they represent big
sentiment, the wish that these coins may
help to build your Confederate home. l
would do more if l could.
Could more be asked from such gen
erous soldier?
The list of northern helpers closes with
the following from

The Late Decision Makes IL Hard on Those
Who Came Honestly in possession OF the

| The late decision in the Macarthur will
case in the United States court at Cincn-
natl, has completely demoraliZed the people
Of Ross. Pickaway, Madison and Clark coun-
ties, who are affected by it. 1t is enough To
! say that whether the decision OF the court in
| the Macarthur will case is just or unjust, it
works great hardship on those who came
honestly into possession of their lands
Many of them are poor and are not able to
bear the loss, while the best of them will
| feel the loss seriously. The large number of
that persons will suffer, while comparatively
few will be benefited, makes it all the more
to be regretted that there could not have
been found way to reach more satisfac-
tory solution, with view to Il g interest Of
the defendants. 1t is not likely that those
who are made to suffer by this decision will
be satisfied to yield their claims without ap-
pealing to the court of last resort The per
SonswIO own lands that are involved in this
decision are required to give eighteen twen-
tv-fOurths Of the value of their land. or in
manner purchase them over again at their
present value. People very generally will
hold this TO be very hard on these who sup

THE FIRST DAY.
Springfeld's Public schools Open with IA
Large Attendsnce-Colored Pupils aI d

Springtield's Public Schools Open with a
Large Attendsnre-Colored Pupils tai
the Eastern building.
This is the first day of the fall term of
the public schools, and at $50 O'Clock this
morning the familiar school bells summoned
Springteld's pupils to their respective
buildings.
J Very little was done this morning. The
pupils assembled at the various building and
after being told what books they need, d
and having read to them the rules of the
school were dismissed until this afternoon.
1t will take all of this week to get down to
business" and put things into proper shape
for the school year.
The enrolment Of pupils will be very
large this year, and it is probable that be-
tween 1900 and 400 pupils entered the
schools today. No enrolment will BE- COM
piled before the latter part of the week,
. and il will be impossible to state the exact
enrolment is made.
No trouble whatever was experienced
this morning in regard to the assignment of
co,Ored pupils. Those who attended school
last year returned to the same buildings
this morning and were admitted without
question. Those who had never attended
school anywhere are being assigned
10 various buildings by Superintendent
White As they make known their wants
The Eastern building was thrown open
this morning and large number of pupils
were enrolled there, notwithstanding the
scare" that had gone out about the build
ing. Quite number of pupils who belong
at that building started to other
buildings under the impression that the old
building had been abandoned. They will
be returned 10 the building.
Every indication points to prosperous
school year and in a few days the schools
will be running as smoothly as they were
at the close of last year
