What Became Of the Fred S. Lowell Post

What Became of the Fred S. Lowell Post
at waukegan's Dedication.
The Fred S. Lowell Post, G. A. r. of
this city, forty-fve strong, left this
city yesterday morning for Waukegan
to take part in the parade and cere-
monies o. the unwilling of the Soldiers
monument att Warkegan. That they
reached the city to the south is con-
coded, but since the time that they left
the train in that city no mention has
been made of them. They were &C
companied by "a drum corps and had
the prettiest little girl in Kenosha
county to carry the battle stained EN-
b1em in front of their marching col
umns, but the reports of the parade
and ceremonies makes no mention of
the fact that the Kenosha- Post was in
the 1itt1eEvi11age when the monument
was unveiled. The papers of Wauke-
gan simply ignored them and this has
made the fKenosha veterans very in
dignant. They went to Waukegan at
the request of the old soldiers of Lake
county and they were the only Post
which was represented by anything
like large number of men, and yet
the Waukegan papers made no mention
of them. This will remain as one
great blot on the reports of the unvei1-
ing of the Waukegan monument.

yesterday morning a carloaH of pio-

car. The car carried about twenty Corn
ish pumps which, we're shipped to the
Judson Iron works III San Francisco
from the COInStOck.
Although modern appliances are outhe
lode he new machinery has not quite
taken the place Of the old, as the money
Is not in sight As it was during the days
of the Cornish ~lifters.
The old pumps represent a day of free
SILVER and deep mining. while each of
them represent a barrel of money. vet
they in turn took out a hogshead of silver
to pay for themselves. They originally
came from san Francisco and are going
back to the city they helped build-and
they buiIded well.

At distance Oi 1.500 wards the Fill

concentrated their heaviest fire down
