the speakers stand for one
hour. His subject was
"The Confederate Soldier. +"
He held his immense audi
ence in rapt attention while
he portrayed, in eloquent and
flowery language, the South,
her sons and daughters, be.
fore, during and after THEN
great struggle for liberty and
freedom; for love and right.
He told in a pathetic way,
which is a Characteristic oil
the speaker, of the once pros
porous and happy homes Of
the South, made desolate by
the cruel rayages of war and
the tyrannous hands of the
despotic Northern soldier,
and why the valor and chival-
ry of the Southern soldier
was the admiration Of the
world. He pictured the Wig
orous and confident youth
when he nobly responded to
his country's call to duty; Of
his undaunted courage dis
played in the struggle of
four long years against an I'M
equal mum Der; of how he en-
dured the hardships and VII
cissitudes of the grandest and
yet the most pitiable and des-
perate conflict for life, liber-
ty and home-the beautiful
Southland-wh where, until dis
turbed by the cruel exactions
Of war, love and happiness
re gned supreme. How, up
on returning to their homes,
they only found ruin and de-
cay in the track of their re-
lentless foe, and where mag
nificent and palatial mansions
once stood among the stately
oaks and pines, on the large
and fertil plantations of the
South, he saw only their
blackened wrecks, covered by
the blue canopy Of heaven.
A man might speak with
his lips that there is "no
North, no South" but after
witnessing the scenes of last
and Saturday, in his
heart he would have been
convinced that there is yet a
South. And too, here in
"Sunny Tennessee" can yet
be found sons and daughters
who will perpetuate the val
liant deeds of the grand old
heroes and the great sacrifi-
ces made by the fair and no
BILE women Of the Southern
Confederacy.
After Gen. Patterson's
speech a basket dinner was
spread and evelybody's appe-
tite was appeased.
The saddest sight, and one
called forth pity, was
when, the now depleted
ranks, formed into a ragged
lineand marched around the
speakers stand. Some were
crippled in their limbs; some
we're scared about the face and
head by the enemy's saber,
bayonet or bullets; while
some were bent, twisted and
amaciated, caused from the
ravages of disease contracted
while in the war. 1t was a
pathetic scene, and tears, un~
restrained, rolled down the
cheeks of many of the ladies
present, while they would
oersistently well up and
noisten the eye-lids of the
men.
Capt. John w. Morton, of
Nashville, was present and

The demand made upon congress for
funds TO help along the centennial
celebration OF the Louisiana purchase
at ST. Louis 10 1903, brings forth
many statistics covering this territory
Of which Kansas is part. lhe sur
plus products OF the states Composing
the Louisiana purchase furnish the
food supply for the great nations Of
Europe. During the War with Spain,
all the horses and mules, and all the
beef used by the UniteO States, came
from the Louisiana purchase states,
and this section Is now furnishing
Great Britain with most Of the horses
and mules which she is using 10 her
South African campaign, 10 addition
to supplying her people at home with
their food supplies. These two wars
have undoubtedly done much 10 eX-
plot the Louisiana purchase through
out the world. The Louisiana pur-
chase states furnish more than one
half OF the entire wheat production
OF the United States, and the states

many authorities claim we're really a
part NJ the Louisiana TERRITORY. and
which produced nearly 1900 600 Of
wheat in 1899, are not included 10 the

is over ten times the purchase price

The connection between the aurora,

initely exists. The outbreak of a cy-
clonic storm on the sun with the for
nation OF spots is Immediately regis
tered I'm every magnetic observatory
on the earth. Sometimes the disturb

marked.
For example, on Feb. 13, 1892, a
great spot, accompanied by enormous
cyclonic disturbances. burst forth on
the suns surface. That night mag
nificent aurora was visible all over the
northern half of the United States and
in many parts of Europe. Telegraph
