COLUMBIAN FOURTH.
MEETING LAST NIGHT OF THE MARSHALS
APPOINTED BY COL ROLF.
Few Organizations Yet Heard From, But More
Expected This wesk-UnitOrm Adopted.
Other Business Transacted.

AS the glorious Fourth approaches,
greater Interest is being shown In the
proposed Columbian celebration, and
the different events upon the pro-
sramme for the day, taken collectively,
will no doubt attract great many
strangers to the city. Chairman Henry
Baer has called meeting for tonight
At $40 sharp, at the Chamber OF Com
merce. of the Committees on Fire
Works. Decoration, Street Demonstra-
tion. Music and Finance. A good at
tendance is desired, as several import
ant matters will come up for final
action.
One matter to be considered will be
the selection of place for the pyro-
technic display in the evening, as the
action of the State Fair Board at yes
terday's meeting will necessitate a
change of plans. 1t is very probable
that the display will be again made
from q barge anchored in the river, but
the disappointing spectacle given at the
same place last year will not De dupll-
Gated if the committee in charge can
help it.
The aides appointed by Chief Marshal
Rolf met last night at the Chamber OF
Commerce. Considering the facts that
sufficient notice OF the meeting was not
given, and the weather was intensely
warm, the attendance was very good.
The meeting was called to order by Col.
Rolf. The secretary prepared list OF
gentlemen who accepted positions TO
which they were appointed by the CHER
| Marshal.

and signfied their acceptance, Is as

Col. Robt. White, c. P. Brown, b. Bach

Waterhouse, Geo. S. Feeney.
The Secretary was instructed to send
postal cards to all who were not pres
emit at last nights meeting, and urge a
reply by Thursday evening, at which
time another meeting will be held.
The time is limited. and IL is important
TO know how many aides will consent
TO serve, in order that the Chief Mar
sinai NAV fill vacancies. All persons
whose names were Ia the list published
in the REGISTER are earnestly request
ed to notify Secretary DInger by postal
or in person, of their acceptance or de-
clination, at their earliest convenience.
