VETERANS AT A SOCIAL.
Newly Organized Association Spends
an ENJOYABLE EVENING

The Union Veterans association hsfd its
first open meeting last evening in the nature
Of social gathering, and camp fire at A. o.
y. w. hall, which was thoroughly enjoyed by
the old soldiers and their friends The Union
Veterans association is a new organization
among old soldiers. The G. D. Parker Camp
No. l, Department Of Minnesota, is the first
one organized in Minnesota. The organization
is now in its infancy having been started
about year ago in Michigan; it then spread
over that state, and now has many branches.
The St. Paul camp was organized last fall
ana was incorporated few days ago. The
object of the association Is very much the
same as the G. A. R., being organized for
the protection of the old soldiers, and is
OF semi-poltical nature. The Minnesota
old soldiers are going to organize many
branches in this state, and the organization
or the st. Paul camp is the beginning Of q
movement which promises to be widespread.
J. T. Larkin called the meeting to order and
introduced the first speaker OF the evening,
DR.. c. G. Higbee, who gave an outline of
the associations objects and aims He said !:
THE name indicates the objects Of the as
ISOLATION. We old soldiers believe that in
union there is strength we know during
the war we touched elbows and there is
strength in such fellowship When a man
fell we were ordered to touch elbows again,
and the unity gave strength. About half
the old soldiers in the state are not mem
bers Of the G. A. R. posts; they are scat
tered all over the state, but provision has
recently been made for picket posts which
Will be organized wherever there are few
old soldiers. The old soldier ought to have
the preference for public positions; in fact,
there is law giving old soldiers the pref
erence. l see many G. A. R. members in the
audience tonight, and we hope to have their
assistance in building up this organization.
We have a vote and we intend to use it to
elect our friends to Office and make no secret
of it,
NJ L. Countryman made the. next address,
in which he said he thought the law giving
cd soldiers the choice in public positions was
very knock-kneed affair. He thought where
there were nine Norwegians and Polanders
there should at least be one old soldier. The
country owed more to the old soldiers than to
the patriots from across the sea.
Mayor Doran addressed the audience, and
spoke of the association in warm terms. He
said: ut gives me great pleasure to meet so
many Of the boys here tonight. Our foreign
population is not to be despised, yet l am in
favor of some restriction on immigration, as
we have many with us that we would be bet
ter off without. 1 think only a few years
will elapse until we will see all the posts
gathered here under one organization, as our
members are fast being mustered to their
long home"
G. M. Akers read a poem Of the war days
from standpoint of one who stayed at home.
During the evening Mrs. w. A. Shoff gave
piano solo, Mrs. S. V. Harris sang Home,

cited 1.-THE Tell Tale"

the platoon movements, all of which
were executed with great prOmptnesa
and precision.
The most entertaining feature Of tho
evening was the extended order drill"

second lieutenants, deployed, advanced,
fired, executed flank movements, re-
treated, changed directions, marched

an easy swing and cadence much to be
admired.

DOG SHOULD BE KILLED
Says DIR. Hutchinson of Superintend-
emit Webers Animal.

The people who live near the home Of
Howard Charlton, -748 Rondo, are incensed
at the apparently unconcerned manner in
which the people owning the vicious bull
dog which seriously bit the small Charlton
boy on Wednesday. allowing the matter
to drop. 1t appears that this dog, which is
said by the owners to be constantly confined.
attacks some person each time he is loosed
or breaks away from his lfastenings, this be-
ing the third person he has bitten. DR..
Hutchinson, who Is Jreating the small Charl-
ton boy, says that his injuries, in spite Of a
report to the contrary, printed in a morning
paper, are serious, and will require careful
medical attention. Nearly the whole calf Of
the lads leg was included in the bite and
badly lacerated. The father is enraged at
the failure to have the dog killed and VOWS
If the authorities do moi. put end to the
animal, he will. DR.. Hutchinson counseled
moderation, and himself advised the city
veterinarian as to the best means OF taking
the proper action. THAT gentleman is said
to know that the dog has bitten people be-
FORE but is said yesterday to have made the
statement that he had not the authority to
kill him. Along the street where the Charlton
family lives the Impression prevails that,
owing to the position held by the dogs owner
there is a tendency to delay any action in tho
matter. The dog Is the, property Of Supt.
Weber. Of the Pinkerton detective agency.
