Maine regiment and was commissioned
as captain OF Co. r, OF that regiment.
The death OF his father In the spring Of
'63 called him home where he remained
taking up his former duties. He became
prominent in town affairs, acting for
number Of years on the school committee
and board Of selectmen and overseers OF
the poor. He twice represented the town
of WATERFORD and Limerick in the state
legislature.
From 1870 to 1875, he was interested In
the manufacture of lumber at South

appointed inspector OF customs at Port

two administrations. Then for several
years he acted as travelling salesman for
agricultural implements. Three attacks
OF the grippe for three successive winters
seriously impaired his health, which has
gradually been failing for several years.
The immediate cause of death was fatty
degeneration of the heart. The five chill
dren, with their mother, were privileged
to be with him and minister to him in
the last weeks Of illness.
The funeral services win be held on
Thursday, November sth, at two O'Clock

WAR MEnALs rREsENrED

The Honorable, the Colonel Edward
c. Little. late of the Fighting Twen-
tjeth Kansas regiment. failed 90 keep
his promise and appear at the
fair grounds Wednesday afternoon
and make an address to the people,
and more especially to the soldiers
wholgathered here on Spanish War
day. Mr.. Little promised to come and
was expected until the very last min
ute, but failed to appear and no word
came in explanation of his absence.
Local talent sprang gallantly in the
breach thus left in the fair manage
ment's program, however, and the
doughty colonel must needs have had
avery fine speech indeed to have
improved upon the things that were
said.
Captain Baxter McClain was chair
man of the meeting which was held at
the speakers stand, preceded 10y
several numbers by the band. He in
troduced Mr.. j. w. French, who spoke
briefly about the benefit of county
fairs. He said that if everybody
would make it point to make an eX-
hibit of some kind, the fair would
benefit and the first result would be
that farmers would raise better stock
grow the best grains and fruit, use
tine best machinery and the competi'
/ ton would soon result in great perma
nent improvements in agriculture.
Mr.. McClain then made a short adj
dress about the late war and said tina
he saw two main results from it. On,
was that the United States had takel
her proper place among civilized
nations and was recognized as an in
dependent power to help scatter bar
barism and substitute the very bes
government. The other was that tn
call to arms had united the North an,
the South as they had never bee
united since the civil war. His speec
was thoughtful and well worded an
delivered in excellent style.
On concluding Mr.. McClain intro
duced Hon. f.. H. Funston, who pre-
scented the medals to the members c
Company | present. The boys wer
seated on the platform and came fol
ward one at Il time and Mr.. B'unsto
in neat little speeches, compliments
the boys and pinned on their breast
the badge. An old soldier himself h

said he loved the soldiers. "They
have preceded all the bigthings which
Rave brought good to the world" He
was not at all alarmed about the
Philippines and favored retaining
them for their own good and for ours.
"The American soldier has never
raised his hands to Cypress" he said,
land there is no danger of his doing
it now" He praised the action OF our
troops and declared his belief that
they We're serving the purpose of
wise and all seeing providence.
Then the boys came forward, one
10y one and the old soldier grasped
them 10y the hand, brightly referred to
the position which they had filed with
credit, humorously alluded to his own
experiences. with trembling voice
thanked the boys for their brave SER
vice and pinned the badge, melted
from a captured cannon and presented
10y the G. A. Il. of this department.
1--WE are proud of you. boys. We
watched your career from the day you
left until you returned. As an old
soldier | take great pride in present
ing you with this IN ark of esteem given
10y the old soldiers. Take it and wear
it and know that you will never dis
grace it,.
1t was one of the prettiest scenes
one will view in many long years.
Mr.. Funston felt every word that he
said and to lieutenant and sergeant,
corporal and private he spoke in "a
way that reached the heart and gave
full credit that each had done his duty
as opportunity offered.
After Mr.. Funston Capt. r. S. Stov-
er stepped forward and in neat little
speech gave 70 Mrs. Funston the
medal intended for General Fun ston,
/ the leader OF the 10th, and to Mrs. A.
/ n. Mitchell, the medal for Burton +.
/ Mitchell. both now serving i'm the

belonged to absent soldiers ne gave to

And the crowd stayed until the Last
word was said. They cheered tn,
boy, when they stepped forward and
cheered as they retired. 1t was q
meeting which should have been par
ticipated in 10y 1000 people.

THE SPANISH WAR VETERANS DAY
Was Most Interesting Feature, Being Upwards
of 100 Boys Here
Judge Porter Spoke for the Republicans YeSter-
day and Ex-Governor Altgeld is Ex-
peCted Today

Tuesday was an ideal day for the
fair, bright sun but cool breeze
and what little dust there was seemed
content to lie in quiet. Far in the
Silly night the fair managers had the
street sprinkler making its laborious
circuit of the race track sprinkling the
dust and at o'clock this morning 10y
the light of the moon which had stayed
up to enjoy the laugh, the wagon was
still going. At 1 O'Clock acloud came
up. At 4:1O two more, and 50 it went
until the sky was covered and a rain
set in which thoroughly soaked every
thing. BY nine o'clock next morning
the sky cleared, the dry earth was rap
idly soaking in the rain which had
fallen and with alet up therewas happy
promise of two fine days yet,
Wednesday was set aside for the
soldiers Of the Spanish American war,
of all regiments. Headquarters We're
opened that morning in the tent in the
park and each registering soldier was
given ticket which was at first in
tended to admit him to the fair one
only. The management has decided
however to extend the time and all
soldiers are requested to keep their
tickets merely showing them at the
gate, and they will be good during the
entire fair.
The town was gaily sprinkled with
soldiers in blue and khai today, young
men representing many regiments being
here and the boys had a most agree
able time chatting, telling over their
war tales, their love conquests before
and after returning home. The roster
kept shows the following names.
