FORT WAYNE, Ind, August H. The
fifteenth annual Kriegenfest Of the
German Military societies Of America
will be held in this citv, commencing
on the 18th inst. Six thousand Wis
itors attended the feast held last year
at Davenport, Ia, aud as Fort Wayne
is much nearer the center OF popula-

be larger.
The membership is confined to men
who have served in the German army
and have come TO America with the in
tention of making this country their
permanent home. The nature Of the
organization is military, benevolent
and social. Aliens and anarchists are
strictly excluded and sixteen members
have been expelled for refusing to take
out naturalization papers. The nation

One of the most interesting matters TO
be discussed will be the location of a

the Louisville story, did occur here a

badly hurt, recovered and was sent

Mr. Little grew red and hot and floor
walker pompous. Mr. Little finally
recollected that he knew man at the

Kidd had gone to lunch. Mr.. Little
grew desperate and the floor

addressed to 90 Little, Kenosha. Wis.,
The tloorwalker said he was sorry, but,

have that umbrella charged and take
II away away with him besides. He
argued, threatened, pleaded. Twas
