CHICAGO, Aug. 2.-The hotels of this
city swarmed to-day with members of

Governor Oglesby was among them.
Governor Oglesby is one of the very inn
portant committee of three Grand Army
men who have taken in charge the mat
ter of the building of great National G.

'The Grand Army will be a thing of

ernor Oglesby to-day, "and this
Memorial Hall at Decatur is intended to
be used TO keep up mementoes of the war
and evidences of the work of the Grand
Army of the Republic. The cost of the
building will be about $3.50, 900, and it
Will require large sum to maintain the
institution. Funds are to be raised by
voluntary contributions purely. The
ways and means will be considered at
the coming encampment."
WILL BE A GRAND SUCCESS.
DETROIT, Aug. 2.-All things consid-
cred, there seems to be every reason to
believe that the G. A. r. encampment
will be just what has been prophesied
and intended, the greatest gathering of
veterans since the grand review at the
IdIiOldl CStDlJdl dt the close OF the war In
1868. One of the members to-day said:
The Grand Army is now at the zenith of
It's glory. 1t has grown gradually to the
present dimensions, and in few years
Will come time when the number of re-
cruits can no longer equal the number of
comrades mustered out, and the twenty
fifth national encampment is likely to go
down to posterity as the banner encamp-
ment in the history of the organization.n

While Behind Prison Bars,

MEMPHIS (Tenn.), Aug 2. District
United States Judge Hammond has
handed down his decision in the now
famous case of r. NJ. King, the Seventh
Day Adventist, who was convicted years
ago of Sabbath breaking by blowing on
Sunday. The State Supreme Court
affirmed the sentence, and then the Ad-
ventists and National Secular Association
took up the case, engaging Don Dickin-
son as counsel to argue it before the
Federal Court. BY Judge Hammond's
decision the defendant is remanded back
to the custody of the Sheriff to serve the
sentence.
The decision is based not SO much on
the constitutionality of the Sabbath
clause as upon the fact that King was
convicted under due process of the Ten
nessee law, and that it is not in the
province of the Federal Court to review
the case. Judge Hammond, however,
says that if man has set Sunday apart
in due form by his law for rest, it must
be obeyed as mans law, if not as Gods
law

NACAv1LLE, August q Roadmaster
Stadfeldt, the 'Solano Giant" made his
debut before the athletic club at the third
exhibition. The biggist crowd ever
known was present, and after number
of preliminary bouts Armstrong, a
lightweight, and a heavyweight of San
Francisco, had a rattling fight that made
the spectators howl with joy. Despite the
difference in weight Armstrong bested
his heavier opponent. Billy Woods of
Carson was the next man pitted against
the local idol, and had lots of fun for the
frst round, but was hardly in it in the
latter part. Stadfeldt is wonderfully
agile, and despite his great size is a re-
markably shifty man on his feet He is
cautious and has a good guard, but is
more a Jobber than slogger. Under
careful tutelage he would undoubtedly
make good mark In a robed circle.

the Omaha and Grant Smelling Works
over the eight hours a day movement
took on more serious aspect to-day.
The men have been working eleven and

TO work the same hours for the same pay
as before. The men, not willing to do
this, were asked to report to the main
office OF the company. Several did so re-
