SUPREME COUNCIL A. p. A.
The Annual Meeting to Bc Held Her
Next Month,

The Annual Meeting to Bc Held Here
Next Month.
1t has been decided that the annual meet
ing of the supreme council Of the Ameri-
can Protective Association shall be held
in this city beginning the 11th of May. in
stead of in Kansas City as was fixed by
the supreme council at its annual meeting
recently made by the unanimous vote of
the executive board when 1t was found
that a majority of the delegates who are
to attend the convention preferred Wash
ington to Kansas City. This preference
was induced by great many reasons.
one being that the permanent headquar-
ters of the order are located in this city.
The supreme officers here and the local
members are arranging for the meeting.
The Hotel Vendome will be the headQuar-
ters of the delegates. The sessions OF
the council will be held in the rooms OF
the supreme officers Pennsylvania avenue
and 18th street, IL there is enough room.
If the attendance is larger than expected
other quarters will be rented. Thrty-eight
state councils will be represented, and the
total number Of delegates will be between
100 and $50.
The election Of officers will be one of
the features. Colonel John w. Echols the
supreme president, will be a candidate for
reelection. So far no opposition to him
has developed. His friends say that he
has made a valuable officer and that he
will be retained.
The councn will likely have something
to say on politics. 1t will, 1t is said, def
nitely decide its future attitude.

The Commissioners of the District OF

that the oversight of Congress in failing to

expenses of the congress will be remedied
by concurrent resolution, making the
$JO,000 Immediately available for the use

WILD BILLS REMAINS.

ed Removal.
From the st. Louis Glcbe-Democrat,
The people of the Black Hills. and espe-
cfally Of Lawrence county, will stoutly
oppcse the attempt TO remove the remains
of j. B. Hickok, better known as Wild Bill
the famous frontiersman. from their resi-;
ing place in Mount Moriah cemetery. near
Deadwood. to San Bernardino county. Cal
1t is stated that fund of 500 has been
raised by son of Wild Bill and the Two
brothers of the noted pistol shot for the
purpose of having the remains taken up
and reinterred in the vicinity of their
accepted homes on the Pacific coast ANY
attempt to carry out this design would up-
doubtedly terminate in a miniature re
belifon. as the Black Hills friends of the
cead scout will never consent to the r.
noVai OF the remains. The grave of Wild
Bill Is one OF the chief attractions of the
northern part of the Black Hills ard every
visitor TO that section invariably makes il
visit prior to setting out on a systematic
sh-seeins expedition through that in
teresting region. The cemetery is situated
On timbereJ slope, several hundred feet
above Deadwood, and to reach il quite a
circultous journey is necessary. For years
the grave of Wild Bill has been a rich field
Tor relic hunters. Several wooden mon.I-
ments. erected a: different times to the
memory of the fearless scout have been
DESTROYED by them and carried away
IN lS9l a New York sculptor named j.
II. Ricrdan visited the Black Hills and
noting the dilapidated condition of the
wooden monument which then served to
mark Wild Bills resting place, decided 10
complete and erect a more suitable and
durable mon.ment to take its Place. The
new monument is made of native rock
The features are said by those who knew
Wild Bill to be very lifelike. A year or
two after the monument was placed over
the grave Capt. Jack Crawford, the poet
MAJ f~sa
Bill, delivered series of lectures in the
towns of the Black Hills, and with the
proceeds had handsome marble and iron
fence erected around the statue of his dead
comrade. Notwithstanding this protection
the monument has not been sufficiently Sc
cured against The depredations of relic
hunters, and shows the marks of their van

between me and the back of the patlents
head there was a mass of wool some

end than exciting its Inhabitants, and
therefore decided to remove IL first. and
forthwith set about clearing a patch CT

interest by as many people as could squeeze

driving my head up through the roof. and
tearing that structure from its supports, I
wore 1t as a collar or neck-ruff. while the
patient broke the rest of that simple home
completely up. and mixed himself and the
scissors and the mustard leaves and the
lantern SO well with the debris that IL took
