of grey betoken the autumn OF life, and,
if l rightly understand the object of the
organization of the club, it is that we may
meet once year as we pass the mile
stones on our journey and exchange greet
ings that cheer the heart, renewing there
by the acquaintance of dayslong gone by.
Sure it is that we do not in very con-
siderable numbers meet them upon the
grounds at our annual gatherings, and it
behooves US to stop and ask the question,
Why
In my Judgment the location of the
club upon the line of the railroad at some
central point would insure their attend
ance and contribute to their enjoyment.
Arrangements can be made with the rail
way company at any time for transporta-
ton, and am convinced that in the alb
sence of any other reason for the general
gatherings Of the people of our county.
There is no possible doubt if centrally 10
Gated the old settlers gatherings will grow
in favor and the perpetuity of our organi-
cation be assured; on the contrary, if To-
Gated on our present grounds, it will, in
my Judgment, have in effect dissolution,
and that, too, not many years hence.
Let the possessions of the old settlers be
located at point on the railroad where
they can go once year to enjoy a
day in social reunion with those who in
days gone by have caused by their indus
try, perseverance and economy the devel-
opment of the resources of the country to
be placed upon a substantial basis.
Respectfully submitted.

Why Not a Lecture Course.

The young peoples society of the Meth
odist, Baptist and Congregational church
es have taken in hand the matter of talk
ing up lecture course for the coming
season. They have already taken steps
toward renting hall and as soon as mat
tiers assume little more definite shape
committees will be appointed to see what
our citizens are willing to do in the way
Of substantial encouragement. Lectures
of high order have been well patronizec
in past years, and the TELEGRAPH-CoUR
Ter believes that this intelligent commu
nifty will give hearty support to wei
selected course of lectures, but we mus
have none but the best.

The statue of Liberty enlightening the

CORBETT. WILL FIGHT.
a Club Director Says He Is Being Ma,
Monkey OF.

- Niup oiNtCloE says ne Is Being Made
Monkey OF.
"The.old man is making a monkey OF
him." said one of the Directors of the Cali
fornia Club yesterday while speaking of
tue opposition of Jim CUrbett's father to
the match with Peter Jackson, land the big
boy deserves better treatment from his
family jim has signed an agreement to
fight jackson for purse of $4,000, and he
will be on hand to keep the appointment.
Some say that Corbett Sr. has made it ap-
pear that his son is afraid of the dusky
Australian, but there is no truth in that as
sertiOn and Jim will toe the scratch at the
call OF time, Notwithstanding parental inter-
ference"
Before Jim COrbett left for New Orleans
yesterday afternoon he received visit from
his mother who also asked him to give up
pugill5m as profession. He remained OBJ
durate, however, and his only answer to his
mothers entreates was that he had gone
into the business to stay. After Witnessing
the Dempsey FitzsimmOns fight at New
Orleans Corbett will start out on the road
with combination of boxers. The enter
prise is backed and engineered by Mr..
Stencil, who recently inherited fortune of
some $4,000,
Certain members of the sporting fraternity
are unkInd enough to say that the inter-
ference on the part of Corbett's parents is
merely an advertising dodge. The head of
theCorbett family denies the allegation and
says his only motive in declaring that the
hight with jackson shall not occur here is his
interest to prevent disgrace to the family
and Tor his sons future welfare. The
Iather IS low Of the opinion that nothing
but bad defeat can stop his son from
climbing the pugilistic ladder.
President Fulda Of the California Club
says that he has never encouraged Corbett
to make professional matches, but has al
ways coCnseled him, as well as all amateurs.
to stay in their class.

A BOY PATRIOT.
The Historic Drummer Who Beat
the Long Roll at Shiloh.

Who was the youngest soldier that enlist
ed from Wisconsin has always been ques-
tion of interest and discussion since the
close Of the civil war also who first beat
the long roll on the Union side at Shiloh
has been a query widely discussed and
variously answered. Yet it seems prob
able that both individuals are embraced in
one person, and he none other than Captain
j. j. Downey of this city, or rather of Lima,
near by. Captain Downey enlisted in the
Sixteenth Regiment at Columbus, In the
latter part of November, 1861, being one
week over 10 years of age. Because of
his youth he was made drummer, and
went to the front in that capacity. On that
eyentful morning in April, 1862, when the
Confederates rushed in full force upon the
scarcely wakened and wholly unprepared
Union forces at Shiloh, our young drummer
boy was one of the first to recognize the full
meaning of their desperate onset, and, seiz-
ing his drum, he stood in front of his tent
and beat the long roll with all the energy
which his young arms could put into 1t.
The valiant Sixteenth boys were instantly
aroused, as were thousands of others within
hearing distance of that frantic summons to
arms, and, springlng from their couches,
they came forth, guns in hand, ready to
make the best fight possible for honor and
their good cause. Others have claimed the
credit OF beating that far-heard roll, but the
pUSluUu VI lub ItBllUtul dJ LIS very lIOub,
and the testimony of hundreds who heard
it-unquestionably the most startling re-
veille that came to their ears during the
whole war-leave no doubt that our young
Columbus drummer was the one who is en-
titled to the honor Of having had the ready
wit to see what ought to be done and the
courage to DO it.
Aiterward young Downey was trans
terred to the Twenty-third Regiment, and
did good service till his enlistment was out
His army life, though experienced during

the very popular and efficient Captain of the
Custer Rifles of this city. and now is a

good wife as any man need to have, and

long roll for the old drummer-boy of Shiloh
