Among those visited by Secretary

in the hall at Payne avenue and
Wells street last night in
large numbers and listened to
addresses by Capt. Castle, Col. AL
bert Scheffer c. W. Horn, Rev. P.
Lewis, Rev. M. Nelson, Mrs Bronson
and others. The meeting was held for
the purpose of arousing additional in
tereSt in the entertainment Of the
veterans. The ward was complimented
for what it had already done in this
respect, but the necessity for extra eff.
fort was urged with the result that
many additional names were added to
the list of applications for guests dur
ing the encampment period. To arouse,
"a IN,
line with other sections of the city,
flag raising was suggested, and the
audience, not deferred by the state
ment that such a demonstration would
cost money, voted unanimously to buy
a flag and pole and plant the latter on
the highest hill in the neighbofhood
and have a rousing programme at the
unfurling of the flag. A committee
was appointed to look after this por-
ton of the wards work and began it's
duties by passing a subscription paper,
which was literally signed. The ac-
commodations committee of the ward
will open several restaurants in the
vicinity of the school houses where
veterans will be quartered, and every
thing possible will be done to secure
the comfort of all the old soldiers who
may be sent into the ward for enter
tainment.
