Gen. Bragg has issued the following
call for reunion of the famous Iron
brigade
The reunion of the Iron Brigade will be
held in the hospitable city of La Crosse,
Wis, Wednesday and Thursday, Oct 20 and
Il next. 1t has been put off to escape fairs
and afford the members an opportunity to
recuperate strength and purse after the sea-
son of fairs, county, State and national re-
unions. A large number of our brigade re-
side in Minnesota, Iowa and the Dakotas-
La Crosse is comparatively convenient to
them.
All of the necessary arrangements for the
two days reunion will be made by the La
Crosse committee, which will contain Gil
bert M. Woodward, John II. Webb, Mile
Pitkin and others of our brigade 1nforma-
ton requested from either of these gentle
promptly supplied All railroads centering
there will give greatly reduced rates.

gan and Battery B-let rally on the colors

nearly as possible; rally as you rallied at

The joys of these reunions must be par
ticipated in to be appreciated. They cannot
be described with tongue or pen. Bring your
wives, children and grandchildren, FOR they
are all honorary members. For two days
throw off all care, put aside all business ana
live in that past which you helped to make
glorious-whose chapters are among the
brightest on the pages Of our country's his
tory
At the La Crosse meeting it is the purpose
to complete arrangements for the erection
of suitable monument at the grave OF Cen
John Gibson, whose last earthly camping
ground is on the beautiful slope to the right
of the Lee mansion, on Arlington Heights,
overlooking the capital of the nation, which
he and you gave the best years Of your lives
to shield. The grave of the hero, this brave
general, this commander who loved our brl-
gade second only to his family, is marked
by little white board bearing his name
In no way can we better honor the mem
DRY of Gen. John Gibbon than by placing at
the head of his grave monument made OF
Wisconsin granite, bearing the emblems ana
the name of the Iron Brigade, and in no way
can we confer higher honor upon the sur
vivors of that brigade. With such an effort
as we can make that monument can be deul-
Gated on the Both of next May. Shall that
effort be made? You will all say yes-a yes
with heart and purse in it,

per cent. of the gold in the world was
coined; now 66 per cent is coined mon
ey. SO it appears that while the amount
Of gold in the world for each individual
has been doubled in fifty years, the
proportion of that gold which has been
turned into coin has also been doubled,
thus making the gold of the world four
times as much per individual as it was
fifty years ago.
This increase in gold, coupled with
the increase in the percentage of that
metal which is coined, is one Of the
most important facts to be taken into
consideration in the determination Of
the cause of the falling off in the de-
mand for silver and the consequent
falling off in it's price.

SHOWS that the gold of the world TODAY
IS nearly, or quite, three times as much
as II was fifty years ago. Mulhall. who
mas been widely quoted in the papers
OF the United States in the mast few
weeks, indicates in his latest diction-
ary OF statistics that the amount of gold
instne world, coined and uncoined, fif-
~ years ago, amounted to less than
TWO and half billion of dollars. TAX
ing his figures for 1890 and adding the
production since that time. it would
appear that the gold of the world to-
DAY, coined and uncoined, is over seven
billions of dollars, being nearly, or
quite, three times as much as it was
lilly years ago. Had there been no in
crease in the population meantime,
there would be thus three times as
much gold for each person now as
there was half century ago. But the
population of the world has increased
oO per cent. in that time, so that the
amount of gold for each individual is
therefore about twice what it was at
that time. This, however, relates to
the gold in bulk, and not gold money.
A further study Of Mulhall and other
statlstlclans shows that the increase
In the production of the gold which is
coined into money has been as great as
the increase in the production of the
metal itself. Fifty years ago only 33

aged II years.
A water carnival was held off West SUI
perior bay by fully 800 campers.
The State library commission awarded
the contract for completing the new his
torical library at Madison to Harry john
son of Omaha, whose bid was S294. 733.O1.
Work will be begun in few days. The
contract calls for the completion of the
building by August, 1899.
For several weeks young men have been
hanging about the Milwaukee steamboat
decks begging return tickets from passen-
gers who cosne up on the excursion boats.
These they sell to passengers contemplate
ing a trip back to Chicago. Ticket brok-
ers have foultd that this is an unfair COM
petition they have to meet, and have COM
planned to the police that the ordinance
was being violated. The first Of series
of arrests was made Saturday, when
Henry Genting, aged II years, was ar
rested ON the charge of violating the tick
ct brokers' ordinance.
At the rate laborins men have gone out
of Ashland within the past week there is
liable to be scarcity of labor there. The
exodus for the harvest fields has been
unusual. The Northern Pacific train yas
loaded SO that even standing room was
almost unobtainable. The steamer Hun
ter carried away several dozen men bound
for the harvest fields and this heavy
traffic on the Northern Pacific and the
Hunter has been the case for several
DAYS. On the Omaha road bet ween Supe-
rior and Spooner 400 men are employed
grading and many Ashland men have
gone there. It is estimated that between
300 and 500 men haye Left Ashland within
the last week to obtain work elsewhere

daughter Of the lote j. III. Haviland, a
GAINESVILLE tobacco dealer, and Edwin
Banfield were married last week, but the
announcement of their wedding has just
been made. The bride recently returned
from Obe1lin College.
There will be large shipment of wany
pine from Ashland next week, which will
be BIZ far the largest shipment of this
timber ever made from Ashland at one
time. There are FIVE boats loading wany
pine and the cargoes will be sent direct to-
England, first by lake, then by rail and
finally By sea.

in Siberia This announcement from
London that Russian expeditions have
discovered gold fields in the vicinity of
the Sea Of Okhotsk, and that the gov

interest here, especially among those

1t is matter of regret among leading
protectionists i'll Congress that the con-
ference committee struck off the duty
on raw cotton. That duty would have
been an important entering wedge in
the old free trade sections of the South,
and it would have proved most benef-
cial to the Southern people. But it
should be remembered by those South
ern men who voted for and urged the
adoption of the raw cotton duty, that
the principle of protection is not Sec
tional, and the Southern man who
votes for protection ON cotton, or sugar,
rice or undertaking to put such pro-
tective duties into a tariff bill-and
then votes against the whole bill, there

the character Of the winter months may
be easily imagined.
In the interior of Alaska the winter sets
in as early as September, when snow
storms may be expected in the mountains
and passes. Roadway during one of those
storms is impossible and the traveller who
is overtalsen by one of them is indeed for
tunate if he escapes with his life. Snow
storms Of great severity occur in any
month from September to May, inclusive.
In May the sun rises at about 5 a. M. and
sets about 8 p. nj. In June it rises about
80 in the morning and sets at about
1870, giving about twenty hours of day.

Quantities to their Profit.
A ST. Louis, Mo-, dispatch says Last
fall prior to the election, the price of
wool had reached the lowest price on rec.
ord. Missouri farmers were glad to get
10 cents for their clip and had to hustle to
find buyers at that price. The men en-
gagged in this trade were almost unani-
nous in the opinion that the low water
mark had been reached, and that higher
prices were inevitable. and they backed
their opinion to the limit of their re-
sources. They began by buying immedi-
ately last October and kept it up reso-
lutely, holding on to their purchases and
adding to them. AS result of this policy
there is now in st. Louis a stock Of 12.-
OOO, 900 pounds Of wool, representing an
average profit of 5 cents per pound, or, in
round numbers, 100000. B. Harris &
Co., probably the largest dealers, are car
rying from 100000 to 100000 pounds
and are 100000 ahead of the market.
