Col. Eldon c. Fields, aged 70 years,
died at Roselale last week. The life
and death of Col. Fields would make a
long and sad history. In the antebel-

of Bolivar County. Becoming old and
his eyesight falling him, he made his
will, as he thought, but in reality had
unconsciously signed trust deed to all
his property, which was soon squan-
dered, leaving him penniless. Ho died

ple were aware that death was 80 near

PRINCE BISMARCK.

The Fetes In Honor of His EIghtieth
Birthday Continued with RedOubled
Zest-IIamDurg Ablaze with Candles and
Electric Lights--The Torchbearers' Pro-
cession ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS william
Celebrates with II Dinner.
HAMBURG, April 1.-The bismarck
fetes of yesterday have been repeated
this evening with redoubled zest. The
banks, bridges, state buildings and
most of the private houses have been
ablaze with candles and electric lights
since o'clock.
After leading three cheers for Ham,
burg's prosperity, Prince Bismarck
mufiled his throat and descended from
the terrace. Five bands struck up
march with terrible crash of passes,
and the torchbearers began to file
past. The prince stood half an hour
at the foot of the terrace watching
the parade. All the torchbearers
cheered him and occasionally group
from some Hamburg singing society
would slacken their pace and give him
stanza from the new birthday song.
About $50 women carried torches,
and most of them threw bouquets to
the old chancellor. Count Herbert
collected the flowers, while DR..
Schweninger saw that the line of fire.
men formed around the prince was not
broken by any of the hundreds who
pressed forward for the purpose of
shaking hands.
Green and red lights were burned
throughout the Saxon forest. The
park was wildly illuminated as the
procession wound along the road un-
der the trees and round the pond. The
weather could not have been more pro-
pitious. There was clear sky and a
magnificent moon.
Before retiring for the night Bis
marck appeared on the verandah and
thanked all for their kindness. He
begged indulgence for retiring SO early.
Age and inirmity, he said, were his
excuses. Amid cries of sympathy,
cheers, burst of music from the bands
and shouts of "Auf Wedersehn," the
old man waved his hand and went into
the house with DR.. Schweninger and
Count Herbert.
The excursionists were taken back
to Hamburg in fourteen special trains.
The streets are filled with merry
makers. All the societies that did not
go to Friedrichsruhe are having Bis
marck dinners. Bands of music parade
the streets, and patriotic songs are
heard from every hall and place of
| public resort.
d. The students who visited Fricdrichs-
ruhe to-day gave Bismarck carved
beer barrel, inlaid with gold and sill
yer, and bearing in relief portraits of
the prince in his eighteenth and
eightieth year.

GRAND CONCERT.
brilliant Array of Talent to Be Marshaled
at Dawson.


at Dawson.
II is announced that the Union Female
College Concert Co., of Eufaula, will
rive an entertainment IN Dawson on the
evening Of the 25th inst.
Each participant is an artist, and such
!, combination of talent has probably
never been gotten together for one per-
formance in Dawson before.
The hear the vocal and instrumental
music that will be rendered by Mrs. T.
7 Simmons will within itself be enough
10 draw a good house. Mrs. Simmons
singing has been heard and enjoyed by
cultured audiences in number of states,
and probably no American woman wi IL
out gong on the operatic stage has
secured the reputation which is possessed
nv her Then Mr.. and Mrs. EiIenberg,
who recently came fro n Europe, will, for
the first time, appear before a Dawson
audience. Mr. Eilenberg is a master
pianist and plays with remarkably clear
technique and poetic expression, while
Mrs. Ellenberg, who has been before the
public as a concert artist for number of
years, has an enviaole reputation Es
solo pianist.
Miss Woodside, who possesses wonder
full histrionic talent, will charm and thrill
the audience with superb recitation.
Another feature of the entertainment
will be a song by Miss Annies Dill Bar
nett, who is lovely in face and voice and
sings with remarkable ease and freedom.
The programme will embrace many
other excellent features, and the indica-
tons point to crowded house. Most of
the participants have been heard in Daw-
son at different times, but their many
admirers never anticipated such group
ing and the opportunity to hear them
all in one evening will not be missed.
The entertainment will be given for the
benefit of the organ fund of the Metho-
dist church. There will be no reserved
seats. Tickets can be bought at the Sale
Davis Drug. Co.'S.

nroying the charge against him.
To-day's developments indicate that

that the Chicago authorities had asked

there was as good ono against the man
az was the one at Toronto.
