Gaitee More.

Chicago, June 2a.-Msrcus DAILY, the
big Montana copper king and turfman,
passing through Chicago en- route to
Butte, stopped over one hour between

bid ever recorded for thoroughbred in
America The following brief cable. dat

ITO Mr.. Gubbins. Knocknany Stud,
Knocknany, Ireland: Will give SIPS. 900
cash and half his turf winnings for Gal

Mr.. Daily said TO reporter:
II want Galtee More because I think
Re is the greatest thoroughbred OF the
age. I know the stock ne comes from

as his ancestry. For my part I would
not care 70 race him much. / would re-
tire him 20 my Bitter Creek stud after

As General Commanding the United CON.
federats Veterans.
Nashville, Tenn, June 23-The morn-
ing trains brought several thousand
people to the city to attend the annual
reunion OF the United Confederate Vet
Grams. General John B. Gordon deliver
ed his address at the business meeting.
He prefaced il with an announcement
Of his intention to resign as general
commander, but there were cries Of mo-
from all parts Of the hall. General Cor
don proceeded:
"Mr. President and comrades-Permit
me with few words to return the COM
mission with which you have honored
me for eight years and by unanimous
vote. Within the next few hours you
will elect my successor. When this duty
is performed by you I shall gladly take
my place by those untitled heroes who
SO grandly bore the battle brunt N the
stsrr work Of war;
After referring to the rapid growth of
the organization during the eight years
since he was elected, from ten camps to
more than thousand, he said:
1T is an army still. Mr.. President.
but an army for the bloody work of war
no longer. Its banners no longer bear
the flaming insignia Of battle. Its
weapons no longer fash defiance to the
foe nor deal death to opposing ranks.
Its weapons are now the pen without
malice the tongue without asperslon
and history without misrepresentation;
its aims are peaceful, philanthropic and
broadly patriotic. Failing after the
most desperate defensive struggle in hu-
man annals TO establish their cherished
confederacy, these hIgh-souled sons of
the south offer this record of devotion
as the noblest pledge of their fealty to
freedom and OF their readiness to de-
fend the republic of their fathers.
I'm conclusion, my comrades, let me
hope that the wise conservatism and
spirit Of magnamity which is always
the brightest gem in the crown of cour-
age. will mark your career in the fut-
ure as they have IN the past
When he had concluded his address
General Joseph Wheeler nominated Cen
eral Gordon for reelection and it was
carried unanimously.
The committee on credentials reported
1000 names of those present and 1000 |
camps represented.

Is Taken to Mean That Prosperity Is at
Hand.
Washington, Jure 2S.OThe trea sury
department within the past week has re-
ceived considerable number Of requests
for small notes in unusually large guam
titles. This inquiry was entirely urex-
pected and is confidently regarded by
the treasury officials as an indica ton Of
improving business conditions. At least
orce year the treasury meets demands
for small notes from the west and south,
where they are needed for the movemat
Of the crops. Rarely, however. has the in
quiry begun earlier, than the 10th or the
middle Of July. and therefore 1t is as
suned that the call for the notes Of small
denominations Is rot in anticipation OF
the crop movement. It has become so
general, however, particularly in the
south, that treasury officials ascribe it 10
renewed activity in general business.

Taylor History Of the United
States adopted by the text book COM
mission az the official history for the
public schools Of Kansas, will be
brought down TO date. II will include
the campaign Of 1896, and tell OF the
events during the early days OF Presi-
dent McKinley's administration. Su-
perintendent Stryker says that he ex-
poets the Republicans TO attack the
hook because the author holds that the
national campaign last fall was fought
over the silver question. Stryker Gays
the new history will contain many de-
tails concerning the civil war. He says
thet only The more important historical
events will be given. There are SO
many things of more interest 10 the
American people than the war that on
ly q little space will be devoted to 1t.
One Of Stryker's old employees OF the
Great Bend Business college in some
way obtained the contract TO furnish
twenty pages Of Kansas history. His
name is E. B. Smith, a graduate of the
Kansas university. Stryker asserts
that very little space will be devoted to
John Brown, Jim Lane and the legislat-
i've war of 1893.
