Ole Olson, the most popular Swed

an engag cement OF a half week at the
Grand last night to large and very
apDreciative audience. 1t is a rollick-

last night was the bicycle race between
Jess McCausland, Of this city, and
The Terrible Swede." The machine
used is very unique, and the race is
full Of excitement. Last night the au-
dience was stirred up to a high pitch
of enthusiasm. McCauslahd made the

There is a double reason why the

just planted his flag on the mountain,
like Excelsior, and came down again
to begin climbing another road to

never been done before. He recreated
it-brought it from its place as a de-
spised accompanying instrument and
gave it a place among the best of solo
instruments. He is properly called the
father of trombone music He has
done as much for band music. He has
established 2 new era for it. This
master musician and his band will be

Sergeant Hamilton Fish. jr., was the
first man killed by the Spanish fire. He was
near the head of the column as it turned
from the wood road into range Of the Span

was firing from the cover of a dense patch
of underbrush. when a bullet struck his
breast and he sank at the foot of "a tree
with his back against it. Captain Capron
stood over him shooting and others rallied
around him, covering the wounded man.
The ground this afternoon was thick with
empty shells where Fish lay. He lived twen-

the War Department to adopt for the pres
ent army badges and pennants precisely like
those for the corresponding corps during
the war of the rebellion, but the idea met
with much opposition from prominent SOL
diers of that war. They maintained with
force that their badges and pennants were
distinctive; that Icy had been baptized in
the blood of many hard-fought field, and
that their individuality ought to be pre-
served This view was acceded to by the
war officials. and new set of designs was
prepared Following is part of the text of
the general order:

are organized into army corps, divisions
and brigades. the same will be designated

Eleventh Corps-Badge of Tenth Corps

guard at the door informed no tickets would

meneed. This announcement was made,
1t is presumed. because there were
dience; and it was doubtful whether
the performance would be given. But in a
few minutes a. man seated himself at the
piano and the curtain went up. The stage is
larger than the one at Wildwood, has a
more pretentious curtain and is well sup
piled with scenery. The stage setting was
very good, and much better than was ex-
pected The numbers were given very well.
During the performance there were only
about twnty people present and some of
those. were dcadheads. The performance
was without anything that even bordered
on vugarity. and while not especially enter

They brought more 800 pounds of eatables

and drinking and making merry is to put
1t mildly. Twelve additional men came to-
day. which brings Company H, of Warsaw,

more the regiment will have received all the

them sweat freely, but they are well pleased
with both place and duties.
