The News as it Com in Our Neigh
boring City.

Yesterday was the date for the
3. & o. employees to receive their
monthly stipend and also for the new
plan Of paying by check to go into eff
feet. The fact that the pay car Will
not be run any more has left the en-
ployes little in doubt as to what
particular time the salaries will be
forthcoming. Last evening the checks
had not yet put in an appearance and
some speculation among the boys was
occasioned. The abandoning of the
pay car is an innovation in the manner
of conducting railroad business in this
section of the country.
Parties who came in from the west
on the B. & o. about noon yesterday
report the burning of the farm resi-
dence of Thos. Inghram, a short dis
lance east of Lewis Mills. The fire
had gotten good Roadway and was
burning briskly when the train passed
and there appeared to be no one about
it. The loss will figure in the neigh
borhood Of $1,000.
Perhaps no money is ever paid out
more freely than that spent for the
circus and the large crowds which at

piled up the chink at the ticket wagon.

Minneapolis Turns Out a Grand
Imposing Parade.
President Mckinley is Given a Con-

The Minnesota regiment won it's final
and most signal victory at Minneapolis
the 18th, when it captured the great state
of Minnesota.
President Mckinley shared in the hon
ors of the occasion, but that was all. The
magnificent demonstration welcoming
home the soldiers who for nearly seven
teen months have been bearing. arms for
their country, was for those soldiers first
and last.
President Mckinley joined in the well
come, and his part was to review the reg
iment at its final passage. 1t was a SOL
dlers day and Mckinley day, but the SOL
diers first.
Nature seemed to be at outs with the
spirit of the affair, and for a time frown-
ed, but that was the only discord. The
celebration Is practically over now,
though it will be days before the soldiers
will be allowed to settle down to private
life. They have had their breakfast, have
marched through the streets of Minne-
apolis. while thousands of people shook
their hands In frenzy of delight and
yelled themselves hoarse They have been
reviewed by President Mckinley, have
been feasted by the good people of Min
neapolis, and now the regiment is thing
of the past.
1t may retain its organization and hold
reunions In the years to come, when they
will remind each other of the way they
raided Chinese joints in Manila, repulsed
the insurgents when they attacked the
railroad, and captured the pretty girls OF
San Francisco, but all these things are
sweet memories to be cherished for the
future AS an active fighting body it's
work is done, and it will lay aside the
sword and rifle.
