for which Lancaster citizens made
such extensive and ample preparations
has found itself in the history OF the
things that have been. In the re-
cords of interesting and entertaining
events of this naturethat have trans
pired in Gre, county or in this see
ton of the state ii will go down as
the most successful reunion, all
things considered, that has ever been
held. And there is glory enough in
this statement tor these reunions have
been growing in Importance and sue
cess for a number OF years, so that
each successive year it becomes a
matter of increasing difficulty to sur
pass the efforts of the past.
Six weeks ago meeting of Lancas-
ter citizens was held and the first pre-
liminary arrangements made for the
event with which the city had been
favored. Plans were laid and mat
tiers discussed. A variety of features
in outline, to be decided upon accord
with which to carry out the provis-
ions of each, was left to various COM
mittees and to say that good Judg-
ment was displayed in arriving at
on the two gala days. The long pro
gram went off like clock work, with
not a hitch to mar the most success
full elimination of every detail. The
committees on whom rested all these
responsibilities proved themselves ca
pable and competent, and were they
to hear the compliments heaped
upon them on every hand we doubt if
they would at all begrudge such la
Dor every month in the year, as dis
agreeable in some ways as it may be.
ANY occasion of this kind is due,
you know, to .swind up in a blaze of
glory" whether it does or not, but
Lancaster's reunion was perhaps eN-
ceptional in that it surpassed all hope
and expectation. Speaking in the
language of one of the veteran execu-
tive officials, 1T was the most sue
cessful reunion our society can show. "
To begin with, the weather man was
good to us. The shower of rain that
quenched the thirst of Mother Earth
during Tuesday night only served to
brighten the spirits of the farmer
folk especially who had planned to be
with us. Wednesday turned out to
be lovely day, as fine June day as
was ever enjoyed in this land of beau
tiful Junes. Crowds poured in from
everywhere and the assem- blage was
swollen at the noon hour by train
load, bringing also the Platteville and
Cuba City bands. BY P. M. all de-
tails had been properly arranged,
every business house was most elab-
orately decorated and a majority of
private residences in the county CAPT
tai were artistically draped with the
national colors. Substantial plat
forms for speakers and good seats for
hundreds were provided on the north
side of the Court House and under the
green foliage of natures pavilion did
the exercises take place. The crowd

improved the interval between the
dinner hour and the opening OF the
ceremonies in the evening in admir-
ing the decorations. And it was
worthy of every word of admiration
expressed. There have been decora-
tions and decorations here before but
never such indescribable profusion OF
beauty as caught the eye of our visit
ors on this occasion. Bunting, flags,
flowers, evergreens, triumph hal arches,
sparkling emblems, glittering stars
and crescents, wreaths and gilded
works of art dazzled the vision on
every hand. All that money could
procure or thought conceive to at
tract the sightseer was in view, and
not a portion of it escaped unnotlced.
The Court House square was one sol
id mass of fiuttering banners and fly
ing streamers. From pavement to
roof were suspended innumerable pen
nants each waving welcome. On each
side of the square was constructed a
massive archway surrounded with
emblems of loyalty and banners OF
gold. Large portraits Of national he
roes were to be seen amongst the
folds of bunting and beneath these
archways did the parades pass.
The afternoon was taken up by the
veterans in renewing acquaintance
and in registering their names. 1t
might be well to state right here
that the number registered exceeded
that in many years past, and was a
complete surprise. Many veterans
were in attendance also who through
neglect or absent mindedness failed
to do their duty in this respect. A
total of 3S2 veterans of '61 is shown
by the register to have been with us,
and participated in the festivities that
were instituted IN their honor. Last
year at Platteville where it was
thought that about all who could get
there were on hand at the reunion of
'99, but total of 80 names were re-
corded We reproduce herewith the
complete registration, together with
the postoflice address of the boys in
Blue, few of whom will ever probab-
ly be our guests at a similar occasion:

1t is fact worth recording that the eight
ten thousand people who availed themselves of the
opportunity last week of attending the soldiers
and sailors reunion at Lancaster composed the
most orderly and law abiding gathering ever as
sembled in this section Of the state for its size.
Mayor Schreiner and his assistants provided for
law and order enforcement with special police
force. but none was needed. Not single arrest
was made during the festivities and not single

gram, road race for bicycles was

HOW TO WIN.

If the reform parties go TO Poca-
tello, with the determination Of
winning this fall, they wsnt to do
at least two things. Leave the sen-
atorship alone and nominate q good
strong fusion ticket, based on an
equitable distribution of Offices.
Any other course means defeat and
the returning of Shoup to tbe U. s.
Senate. The goal is within easy
reach. Will the silver people grasp
it or not? Next week will tell the
tale.

The way to FIX the senatorial
question at Pocatello Is TO let it
alone. Then have those counties
that wish to instruct their legisla-
ture nominees for anyone, do 30
openly. If Dubois has all the
strength his friends sllege he has,
he will have no trouble in being
elected to the United States senate.
By doing this the senatorial ques-
ton viii be brought home to the
people and they can express their
preference accordingly. If Dubois
or anyone else is not willing to
trust his chances to the voters, he
doesn't deserve to be elected.

Jim Wallis. has declined the nOm-
ination of lieutenant governor on
the republican ticket, which position
the Caldwell Tribune very gener-
Ously gave him. 1t will now de-
volve on the Boise convention TO
name someone else Tor the place.
Its not many people who would
throw such q compliment over their
shoulder, especially since the repub-
licans have such . cold blooded
cinch on carrying the state. We
congratulate Jim ON his wise fore
thought. Office seeking lily becomes
. newspaper man. His sphere in
life is to boost someone else into .
snap, and do 1t too simply for love
of the party.

What's the MISTER With Frank
Martin for supreme Judge? He is
young, able and . fearlesac champion
of the people. He is already one
of the foremost lawyers in the state.
and on the bench would be q studi-
Gus, hArd-working and conscientious
judge. There is only one man in
the state that could come anywhere
near giving him a race, and that is
John Bagley. If the democrats
want to elect candidate TO the su-
Preme beach let them nominate
FTxRk. Martin. This is PreSumtng
that Mr.. Bagley doesn't get on the
ticket and even If he does Frank
still has slightly the best of it, con-
sidering the former political status
of the state.

Tho War In China

In the battle between the allied forces
and the Chinese at Peitsang, north of
Tientsin last Sunday, the allies attack
ed at day break. At the first onslaught
the Chinese We're driven from tn cir
trenches. The enemy then rallied and
resisted stubbornly. The casualties
on the allied side were heavy. The
Chinese loss was enormous. The Amer
leans who participated in the engage
ment were the 14th infantry, part of
the 9th infantry, together with Reilly 3
battery and the marines
1t is believed in Washington that
General Chaffee and body of Ameri
can troops took part in the fight at
Peitsang, though this is not positively
known. The Ninth and Fourteenth
Infantry, Captain Reilly's battery of
the fifth artillery and body of marines
under Major Waller are supposed to
have been at the front. Other Ameri
can troops are landing at Taku.
A Shanghai dispatch to the London
Daily Mail says: ''The Pekin relief
column is reported to have suffered a
check. The Chinese are said to have
adopted Tugela tactics and after sew
eral hours of fighting to have retreat
ed.
The main advance of the allied ar
mics began last Saturday. This is at
last definitely known, as w. r. Carries,
British consul atTientsin, has cabled
it to London in an official dispatch.
Previous to Saturday only scouting
parties had advanced.

terms will rise to maximum warmth
passing over the country from west to
east during the period. Falling ba-

with show of rain in many sections,
but the actual rainfall will be short in
most localities. A break in the high
temperature ought to occur a0Out the

From the 9th to the 18th is a reac

Who Should Attend Sunday School Goa
yenti0ns.

/. Every pastor. Why not? The
Sunday school is the churches strong
ally. It is more. 1t is the church d
life. The Sunday school is the field OF
greatest promises and possibilities. The
pastor of the church is pastor OF the
Sunday school, and be should know
and appreciate his position. Whether
the Sunday school needs the pastor
more than the pastor needs the Sun
day school is question:; but there is
10 question that the successful pastor
of the future is the pastor who has the
deepest interest in the welfare of the
Sunday school. He will attend all
conventions
2. Every superintendent. The du-.
ties and responsibilities of the Sunday
school superintendent are neither few
nor trivial. The successful super in
tendent is an intelligent, enthusiastic
worker, and needs all the help that
good convention can give. Come and
get new inspiration and strength for
the work.
3. Every teacher. The teacher is the
most important parsonage in the school
next to the child. Teaching is diff
cult. Teacher. have you not found it
SOP The convention will be a failure
it it does not bring help to teachers.
Examine the programme of the Coun-
ty Sunday School Convention, and see
what there is in it for teachers. Bring
your Bible, notebook. but. best of all, a
mind seeking truth, and desiring a
better equipment for teaching work.
4. Every county, district, and Sun
day school officer.
5. Everyone who loves the Kingdom
of God.
