TO SPEAK AT BOSTON.
Wheeler, the Ex-Confederate Leader,
to Address a 6. q. r. Post

Boston. May 20.-F'or the first time on

deliver a eulOgy on the deeds of his

113 G.. A. r., in the Boston theater
Some of the principal cities of the
country have been in competition to
secure the services of Gen. Wheeler on
Memorial Day, and negotiations have
been pending for six months to have
him come to Boston.
1t seemed a few months ago as if he
might be ordered to the Philippines, or
back to Cuba, and for that reason he
hesitated to definitely accept the inVi-
tation.
A recent visit to Washington by an
influential member of Post No. 113 has
borne fruit, and yesterday Gen. Wheel
er telegraphed his determination to ac-
cept the invitation.
1t was Post No. 113 that conducted
the funeral services of a Confederate

Storm Lake, Aug. 1S.-The Columbia

discovered fire in small room on the
second floor of the south wing and be-
fore the fire company could reach the
scene flames had spread we'll nigh the

of the house. Well directed streams of
water soon extinguished the flames.
Though the house is badly damaged.
Landlord Biddle served supper last ev-
ening The house will be repaired as
quickly as possible.
A singular circumstance occurred in
the country about seven miles from
Storm Lake Saturday. A lady in that
neighborhood treated a threshing crew
and some neighbors to supper of
pressed chicken" All who partook be-
came sick, some seriously. The physi-
clan, who was hastily summoned, de-
clared the illness of the parties was
due to the chicken they had eaten,
which, he said, had become poisoned,
either through the process of pressing
or from the vessel in which it had stood.
All the affected parties have recov-
cred. No blame can be attached to
anyone on account of the unfortunate
affair, as all the parties connected were
unaware that danger ever lurked in
