on the site Of the Phil Kearney massacre.
This is the preamble of the articles Of
incorporation:
WHEREAS, On Dec 81, 1866 almost a
quarter of a century ago, there occurr ed
within the territorial limits of what is now
johnson and Sheridan counties, one Of the
most cruel and heart rending Indian
massacres that the present century re-
cords, wherein BreYt. Lieut.. Col. Fetter-
man, 18th regiment United S tates infan-
try and eightY-seven brave and loyal
companions, including several private citi
zens laid down their lives in that terrible
strife and sanctified the soil we have in
herited by their lite blood freely and
nobly spilled in the performance of duty
and whereby we now occupy this fair
land,
AND WHEREAS, No monumental shaft
or lowly cross of wood has wei been
placed to mark the spot where they SO
nobly exemplifed their devotion to coun-
try and duty and to this day no mark OF
remembrance of the Phil Kearney massa.
ere has been made save only the name
Massacre Hill by which the battlefield
is now known.
Now therefore, In humble apprecia.
ton and acknowledgements of our debt of
gratitude to that gallant band of officers,
soldiers and civilians and to the end that
their memories and the sacrifice which
they made may be p%erpetuated, we asso-
ciate ourselves as the Massacre Hill
Monument Association.

here, the guest of Father Nugent, and
will hear confessions this evening and
preach at high mass Sunday. He is en-
route to St. Mary's mission, Wind River

Father Ponsiglione is u years OF age,
but is extremely lively and even youthful
in appearance. A year ago his golden
Jubilee as a Jesuit was celebrated with
great eclat. The holy father has been
forty one years an Indian missionary, and
his experience and efficiency will be Of
great value in the grand work of ciViliz-
ing the occupants of the Wind River
reservation.
As Father PonsiGlione's name might
indicate, he is an Italian. He has had
hundreds Of adventures. One Of the
most thrilling episodes OF his life was his

ton IN the House, Whether there is
any truth in the report or not, IS not

The Lynchburg Virginian is author
ity for the statement that he married a
Miss Tardy, OF that ~, and it is pos
sible that that fact may have some
thing 10 DO with til contempl plated
change Of residence Of he bright New
Jersey Congressman. Be that as it
insy, however, the immigration ef such
broad, fair minded LIBERAL msn as
McAdco to the South, would be pro-
ductive ofgood to both sections.
The Norfolk Public Ledger rises to
remark in regard to Mr.. McAdoo's
running for Congress in case ne should
mjye to the State, that the Virginia
politicians know good thing when

larry fond of Wash .gton Congress

DoaNoKE,s CENSUS.

Complaints CONS from so many in
diyldaals in different parts Of the city
that they have not seen the census
enauserator, that it IS quite evident
that tke work of counting the people OF
Roanoke has been anything else but
accurately and thoroughly done.
A number of persons from the east
era part of the city, from the western
part of the city, from private houses
and from hotels, have ONE to this Office
and stated that the census man had
failed 10 call upon thea.
The census is taken primarily for the
purpose of showing tic number of peo-
pla in the country, al OF giving each
section its proper superintendent Of
representation in liz Federal Con-
gross.
Iflt fails IN making a correct count,
It fails in the object or which it was
instituted.
There are a great many difficulties
it's evident, in the ray of counting
everybody and missing no one, but
these obstacles shoul, oe reduced to 2
minimum by increasi. : the efficiency
of the method Of max :: the enumera-
ton to the highest ra,,,num.
Roanoke wants to make the best
showing possible IL tie first census 10
which she appears. We claim to have
10000 people and We confidently be-
lieYe that the claim IS well founded, il
every man, woman sud child can be
counted.
Washington, Chicaro and Richmond
are all complaining a9out the way il
which the census has been taken and
the euumerators il Ro..noke have prob
ably done their work 5 well as those
in many other towns.
But we want everybody counted.
The TINES will be CAD to hear from
any one who has been omitted.
