can drive through it in all directions, and
the appearance now is like that of an
immense area of forest pasture in tho
Blue Grass region.
The Chickamauga portion of the park is
connected with the Chattanooga end of it
by national driveways. Within the park
the Government has set up 400 historical
tablets and will set up 1,6OO more here
after, each three or four feet, consisting
of cast-iron plates, glazed black, fastened
to iron posts set in concrete. On these
tablets in embossed white letters are set
forth briefly and impartially the historic
details of the six battles-Chickamauga,
Missionary Ridge, Lookout Mountain.
The Dakota chief. (Gann Valley, Buffalo County, S.D.) 18??-1913, 1895-09-26

Orchard Knob, Wauhatchie and Browns
Ferry. They also mark the positions Of
army headquarters, corps, divisions and
brigades, both Union and Confederate,
and the parts taken by each organization
are concisely stated, without censure and
without praise. Besides these tablets,
the Government has erected nine hand
some granite monuments, all different,
one for each of the organizations Of regu-
lar troops engaged in the battles. It has
also built, on the spots where they fell,
eight pyramidal monuments of novel de-
sign, each ten feet high, constructed Of
eight-inch shells, In honor of four general
Union officers and four Confederate off,
GERS killed in action.
In addition, the Government has built
five tall observation towers Of iron and
steel seventy feet high, two on Missionary
Ridge and three on Chickamauga field,
from which the landscape below Is seen
clearly and easily recognizable from it's
markings. And, finally, the Government
has marked the most important fighting
positions occupied by each of the thirty
five Union batteries and t%hirty-nine Con.
federate batteries engaged in the battles
by 400 mounted cannon of the types and
appearance then used, giving to the fields
an impressive element Of realism. Two
guns mark each battery location, and, in.
asmuch as some of the batteries occupied
several different positions and did notable
fighting at different points in the fields at
separate stages of the battles, many posi-
tons have had to be duplicated, thus
utilizing In all 400 cannon to locate the
spots occupied by the seventy-fOur bat
teries.
The only private monument yet con-
tracted for is to be erected to commem-
morate the valor Of George w. Landrum,
a lieutenant of the Second Ohio Regi-
ment, who was shot on the afternoon Of
Sept. 20, 1863, by some men of the Third
Tennessee Regiment, while carrying a
verbal message from General Thomas to
General Rosecrans. His dying words
were: II am glad to have shed my blood
in so noble a cause"
But while the national government has
marked these positions it has been left to
the States having troops in the battles to
erect monuments to State regiments and
organizations and to the military societies
to commemorate the particular services Of
their membership.
Tw~enty-eight States had organizations
in these battles, a more general represen-
tation than appeared upon any other bat.

on both sides-Kentucky, Tennessee, Mis-.

Chickamauga Rosecrans had 100 regiments
of infantry and enough cavalry and artil-
lery to make up a total of 1872 ~organiza-
lions. Bragg had 1873 regiments of in
fantry, SO Of cavalry, and Al batteries.
Still, despite the general representation,
four Northern States furnished the bulk
Of the Union troops. These were Ohio

Illinois with 33, and Kentucky with II.

Bellows Falls Locals.

Mrs. Kerne II. McGowan died in the
Mary Fletcher Hospital, Burlington,
last week Monday, where she went to
have an operation performed for the re-
moval of a tumor. The funeral was
Friday from st. Charles church. Mrs.
MCGOWAN was sister of John King
and lived on Green street.
H. III. Stone, now of Walpole, has
gone into insolvency, Horace A. Perry
being appointed messenger. Mr.. Stone
is silent partner in Spencer's hard
ware and Sanders shoe store in Keene,
and has become financially involved in
these enterprises. He was formerly
passenger concuctor on the Cheshire
railroad, and later assistant superin-
tendent.
1t is reported from Royalton that an
old man came into the railway station
there last Thursday and said he was 9e
years old and had travelled on foot all
the way from Bellows Falls. The same
gentleman was here some time ago and
told the same story about his age, but
Station Agent Johnson says he departed
aboard train. The old fellow may be
the wandering Jew of whom legend
has SO much to say.

Disastrous Fires.

Minneapolis was the scene of big
blaze last Friday night, serious both in
amount of damage done and to loss of
life. Five men We're killed and several
injured. A side wall of building gave
way almost without warning and fell
outward where there was a long line of
firemen at work, with the result as
above. A five-story brick building used
as a wholesale and retail crockery store
was entirely destroyed and two other
blocks damaged. The total loss is
about S260,000.
In San Francisco the same evening a
big fire ragged from O'Clock until II be-
fore being under control. The losses
were confined mainly to wooden build
ings and probably 100 families have
been made homeless. One life was
lost, woman was burned to death in
attem pting to save some belongings.
The total loss of this fire is estimated at
81, 800, 900, and is the worst fire scare
San Francisco has had in many day.

Fourth in Bellows Falls.

| 1t passed off very quietly The night
of the third was the only time any cele-
| brating was done. On that night a
| fiendish and unearthly din was kept
up until about O'Clock of the morning
of the Fourth. Firecrackers, fireworks,
bonfire, ringing of church bells and
Iadian war-whooping were the princi-
| pal features. Promptly at midnight
all the church bells in town We're peal
ing Justify. When the rope pullers APP
preached the Congregational church
| they found small-sized Hercules
guarding the entrance, who in stento-
rian tones forbade the further approach
of the bandtti. But in the twinkling
of an eye he found himself at the
further end of the hall and the castle
| captured. He heaved sigh and said:
"Well, they told me to do all could to
keep them out, and | have done my
duty"
Large delegations from this place
went to Springfield, Keene and Lake
Walden, and several picnicing parties
went to places nearer home.
The monotony of the evening of the
Fourth was broken by scrap in the
| negro quarter. 1t seems that one of
the dusky damsels was seated by the
roadside near the Island House when
some passer-by made insulting remarks.
This was reported to her papa who
lives near by, and he took exception to
the remarks made to his daughter. In
short time crowd of four or five Wis
tied the negro quarter and demanded
satisfaction. A free for all was started
up. There were three negroes and four
or five whites. When Chief Thompson
arrived on the scene, the whites had
ingloriously fled and the negroes were
standing in the middle of the road each
armed with limb of a tree eight feet
long and as big as mans arm. One
had no shirt on his back "We's goin'
right in, we's goin' right in, Mister
Thompson" they all sang in unison,
and thus ended the glorious Fourth in
Bellows Falls.
Two or three parties are carrying very
suspicious looking scratches about on
their faces.
