The Free Mail Delivery.


Postmaster Moak has been wrestling
with the free mail delivery now for
nearly two weeks and something of an
idea can be formed of it's possibilities.
He has not been able to so arrange
matters that everybody can be the first
one to have his mail delivered in the
morning, nor to place mail box at the
intersection of every street corner, but
the general verdict, notwithsta nding,
is that the system works to charm
and will prove great convenience to
the people. The carriers, considering
that they were new and inexperienced
men in postal affairs, have done admir-
ably. showing that no mistakes were
made in their selection. There have
been errors and delays, as matter of
course, some of which were doubtless
due 20 the radical change in affairs at
the postoffice, but many more were
traceable to the neglect of correspond
ents in not addressing mail to street
and number; and also to the mistakes
and omissions of the directory to which
the clerks in the postoffice have re-
course when supplying defective Or
erroneous addresses. But all things
considered, there has been no just
ground for complaint, and in due time
the system will be found to give perfect
satisfaction. 1t is not yet by any means
Postmaster Moak's ideal of what the
service should be, but it cannot reach
perfection at a single bound. 1t Will
take months to bring it up to the stand
ard of excellence it can be made to
oftoip

The Twentieth's Reunion.

Last Wednesday the second annual
reunion of the old Twentieth Wiscon-
sin regiment was held at Turner Opera
house. Some 125 members, scattered
throughout many states, assembled to-
gether to 90 over the scenes of their
services in sentiment and story. 1t
was the thirtieth anniversary of the
fight at Prairie Grove, Ark, one Of the
bloodiest and hardest fought battles in
the West during the entire rebellion.
Company E Of the regiment was main
ly recruited here, and this fact, with
the additional one that Colonel Henry
Bertram, the last commander of the
Twentieth, was a resident of Water
town, rendered the reunion of more
than ordinary interest to our citizens.
The usual routine of business was
transacted during the morning session.
In the afternoon the secretary, c. A.
Menges, read letters from different
members who were unable to meet
with their comrades. Several were
written from the vicinity of the Prairie
Grove battle-ground, and from a far
Their distance. The old officers of the
organization were reelected as follows:
President, A. Hardwood, of Oconomo-
voc; secretary, G.. A. Menges, of Mil
waukee; treasurer, J.. P. Rumble, of
Milwaukee. The place of next meet
ing was left to the officers, with the
understanding that it be held in the
western part of the state. A bountiful
repast was served to the soldiers by the
ladies of the Relief corps in lower Tur-
ner hall, and the spread was highly
complimented for the good things of
life as well rs the delicacies with which
the tables were laden. After supper a
large audience came together in the
Opera house and listened to impromp-
tn speeches by Charles H. Gardner, of
this city; Lieut.. P. J. Clausen, of Mon
roe, and Major E. G. Miller, of Water
loo, Ia. Mr.. Gardner gave the story of
the Prairie Grove battle from the Con.
federate standpoint, and was enabled
to touch upon matters and incidents in
connection with the fight heard for the
first time and altogether new to the
Twentieth boys. His details were high
ly interesting, displaying the closest
research and thorough and clear con-
ception of the battlefield and it's en-
vironments. Lieut.. Clausen spoke of
the fruits of the war and what had been
achieved for liberty in the contest.
Major Miller closed the speaking with
some general remarks and a cursorv
sketch of Company 6. Between the
speeches the Parlor quartette, COM
posed of Ed. L. Schempf. VIM. Sproes-
ser, Oscar Meyer and Charles Feist,
rendered some war song selections with
fine taste and spirit, which won rounds
of applause.
The reunion was success to degree
that it's promoters hardly expected
Thanks were given the 0. D. Pease
post, the ladies of the Relief corps and
the citizens generally for the part taken
by them in aiding to render the pro-
gramme 80 entertaining, profitable and
ENJOYABLE to all concerned

Victors and VanQuished.

Some time during the recent cam
paign the members of the Cambrian
club, desiring to have an evenings en-
ioyment over the result of the election,
entered into wager whereby the Re
publican faction agreed to tender the
club banquet should the outcome be
rebuke to their principles, and the
Democrats agreeing to do likewise on
the other hand From this it may
readily be surmised that the members
of a Republican turn of mind were the
hosts last Friday night, when victors
and vanquished met together over the
festive board at Daub's hotel. The
club is composed of sixteen young men,
nine Republicans and seven Demo-
Gratis, nearly all of whom cast their first
presidential votes On November s last,
and covers were laid for that mum Der.
The table was pretti1y adorned with
profusion of roses, chrysanthemum
smilax and small American flags, and
right here in the establishment of the
banquet board was first exhibited the
beauty, the taste and the general at
tractiveness which marked to. such
pronounced degree the successful exc
cution of the preparations for the aft
fair. An exquisite menu-one which
received many glowing tributes from
those directly interested in it, one
which did handsome justice to the rep
'utation for perfect cuisine enjoyed by
the Daub hosiery, and one which
needs not an elaboration of words to
enhance its true merfts-was served as
follows:

AN AVALANCHE.
Nearly 200 People Killed by IL landslide

Nearly 200 People Killed by IL landslide
In France.
PARIS. July IA terrible accident
has occurred at St. Gelvais les Baines,
in Savoy, resulting in the death of about
200 persons. A heavy landslide occurred
in the mountains that almost overhung
the village, and without moments s
warning a large number of houses We're
buried beneath tie immense mass of
rock and earth.
Further dispatches from ST. Gervais
les Baines say the disaster occurred at 3
o'clock III the morning, when nearly all
the inhabitants aid residents were
asleep. 1t has transpired that the Sion
nassay Glaciers, which extend from the
northwest side of Mount Blanc, became
detached and swept down the side Of
the mountain, carrying the baths and
the hamlet of LaFayet into the torrent.
The loss of life was appalling. There
was no possible chance of thepeoplc get
ting out of the way of the tremendous
mass of earth, rock and ice, and a great
number whose lives We're not crushed
out beneath the falling debris of their
houses We're swept into the river and
drowned. Over 15Y bodies have been
recovered from the ,Arve, and these with
the 30 taken from the ruins of houses
brings the death roll up to $50. 1t is
not believed that this will cover the en-
tire loss of life, as there are undoubtedly
many bodies buried under the masses OF
debris that will never be recovered.

WATERY GRAVES.
STEAMER WRECKED BY A CYCLONE
ON LAKE PEORIA.

A Number of Row Boats Also Lost and
Their Occupants Drowncd-Thc LOSS by
the Disaster Will Probably Reach Two
Score.
PEORIA, Ills, July 12.--The cruel
waves of the Illinois have borne down
to death Il score Of persons who were out
enjoying themselves. The frankie Fol
som, a Pekin boat, started out during
the evening with forty passengers
aboard. A landing was afterward made
and about twenty others joined the
party, so that the passenger list reached
fully sixty. AS the boat came out of the
landing and started down to the city
she was struck by cyclone and turned
over. She was about midway in the
river and sank rapidly Owing to the
howling tempest the cries of the passen-
gers could not be heard. The Long
fellow, with seventy-tive passengers
from Kingston, passed her and ran to
the foot Of the next street. Word was
conveyed to the police station, and
Mayor Warner at once ordered every
man TO the scene of the disaster The
Rock Island also sent IL special train to
the scene, and small boats were sent to the
Folsom, the hull of which could be seen
when the lake was illuminated by the
! vivid lightning. 1t is known that there
/ are dozen in the cabin of the ill-fated
steamer When the boat careened over
her cargo rushed to the sinking side
And Many Wero Washed Overheard.
A man who has Just been brought off
|, said he saw several women carried down
and they We're cooked to death by steam.
Every time the boat rocked the poor un-
\ fortunates clinging to the side would
release their hold and disappear in the
waves. The rcscuers saw several bodies
floating away which they could not
reach. So far Mrs. Duisdeckcr and two
girl companions, names unknown, Miss
Cora Fisher, Mrs. Fred Fisher. Mis-.
Mary Flath, John Aherns, Mary Paeble
/ and Annie Paeble are the known dead.
Some thrilling stories are told by the
men who have been brought off in the
boats. Sam Sutton missed his wife
| when the cyclone struck the boat and
he heard her calling for him as the
cabin filled with water. He dived into
the hold to what seemed certain death
| and managed to bring her to the sur
face. For an hour they clung to the
lail and were both saved. William
Hart also went into the cabin and
| brought up the unconscious form of his
wife. 1t is thought she will live. The
| greatest fears are entertained concern
ing the fate of over hundred persons
| who were out in small boats. 1t is GER
| tain that eight lives have been lost in
this manner.
AT this hour the river bank is lined
| with crazed friends and relatives of those
who have been lost. There are eighteen
| dead in tho Folsom according to the
Oakes weekly Republican. (Oakes, Dickey County, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1883-1898, 1892-07-15
