FELL OVER THE BLUFF
cay RECOVER, THOUGH
DROPPED FIFTY FEET.

John Ackerman. cooper, in the en-
ploy of Pappers cooper shop on Cliff
street, had an almost miraculous escape
from death last evening about o'clock.
He fell from the top of the cliff below the
high bridge, a distance of fully fifty feet,
and the physician who attended him says
that he has received no serious injury.
Alderman. who boards at the Smelling
house, together with several of the board
ers there, have. during the warm weather,
been going down to the cliff that over
looks the Mississippi every evening after
supper to enjoy the cool river breeze. Last
night he went alone. and, being very
warm, he soon fell asleep He was lying
very close to the edge of the cliff, and
several passers-by said that they can
easily see how he rolled Off The place
where he lay slopes gradually, and the
side of the cliff Is almost perpendicular.
Below are the tracks of the Milwaukee
railroad.
One of his fellow workers saw him a
few minutes before he fell. anS in passing
the place again noticed that he was not
there. He looked over the cliff and be-
low saw Ackerman's body. He inmedi-
ately called aid and went down to inves-
.ti;safte He was apparently lifeless DR..

CAMP FIRE N CHURCH
ACKER POST HELD ONE IN HE
PRON BAPTIST SANCTUARY
LAST NIGHT
MEMORIES OF THE CIVIL WAR
They Were Brought Up by "a Number
of Men Prominent In the Grand
Army of the Re-
public.

The very novel occasion of a G. A. r.
camp fire held IN sanctuary was that
participated in by the members of Acker
Post at the Hebron Baptist church last
evening. Rey-G. H. Gamble, the pastor.
rendered the evening to the old soldiers,
and the decorations of bunting and Old
Glory were quite within keeping with the
presence of the battle-scarfed veterans.
among whom were Maj John Espy. Dan
iel r. Noyes, Mayor Doran an several
others.
AS preliminary to the patriotic fea-
ture. Rev. G. H. Gamble made an exp1a-
nation of the character of the meeting.
and, spoke in a eulogistic vein of the
Grand Army of the Republic. 49,.
f. B. Doran. as commander of Acker
Post, told what camp fires signif1ed. Us
ually 1t was an occasion when all re-
straint was cast off and the old soldiers
felt footloose to tell stories on each other
and make it of a purely informal char
acter. However, it was only fitting that
the gathering should be held In church.
r. M. Barker, post chaplain, offered the
invocation, followed qby singing of the
Battle Hymn of the Republic" by the
audience and the choir.
Commander Doran, in introducing D. r.
Noyes, who was but recently made a
member of the post, announced that
Capt. II. A. Castle once said in speech
that Acker Post numbered among it's
members seven governors and ex-govern-
ors, and that the organization had 300
other members who were willing to be-
and capable. Mr.. Noyes was then pre-
sented.
Mr.. Noyes llkened the soldier of war
to the Christian soldier and asserted that
the trials of the latter were often equally
great with those of the former To be
| soldier was the part of brave men,
whether 1T was the soldier of war or
Christ. Good soldiers nearly always made
good citizens, a fact which was truly eX-
emplified through the existence of the
Grand Army of the Republic. Mr. Noyes
| referred to his recent mastering as a
| member of Acker Post with evident pride
and expressed regret that he had de-
layed so long in becoming a member.
Mrs. Alice Y Boidweu president of the
Women's Relief Corps In an interesting
paper, told of the part of women in war
at the front and at home She referred
| to Commander Dorans imprisonment of
two years in Southern prison. She
described her visits to famous battlefelds
of the civil war, and rem nded the younger
members or the audience that IL was at
the front that President Mckinley re-
| ceived his first promotion-a fact she
| thought we'll worth remembering.
L. N. Bryant, of Ord Post, was next
introduced, and talked entertaIningly for
five minutes. followed by Quartermaster
George R. Lewis, Of Acker Post, who
told of the recent report made by the de-
partment upon the condition Of the sol
diers' home.
Maj Espy spoke with much fervor of
his experiences at the front.

l Dr. Ingersolle was formerly, pastor of
the Park Congregational church, and is
well known in st. Paul. a- .-~
He spoke on Lessons From the Trees"
Fand said IN part:. st4. >.-
'"The grandest thing that God ever gave
us was manhood and womanhood. DO
whatever God tells you to do in this
world, but keep the manhood fresh and
the womanhood pure.
''The people who aim at perfection but
do not boast of themselves are the ones
ward. So let us grow upright. Let us
not give up the work Of God, even though
old age has come upon u.s. Remember
the old saying, They shall still bear
fruit The palm tree sends out its most
glorious top in old age. f
1.-The misery Of a good many people
that both you and L know is that they
are thinking of themselves. All trees
send the sap of healing when they are
wounded Let us go about the business
of life with a frmer determination.
"At last we shall have lost our garb
that we wore here on this earth and be
forever with the King in his kingdom,
that eternal world of his glory, and then
all the children of Cod like the trees
of the field, shall clasp their hands to-
gether."

before 1t was removed, and he said that
the man was in an Unconscious state
and would probably recover in few min
utes. He was taken to house near by,
on Cliff street, and further examination
revealed the fact that no bones were
broken. In few minutes he recovered
consciousness and told those at his bed
side. in joking way, about his expe-
rience. The patrol wagon from the CEN
trail station was sent for, but he refused
to be taken to the hospital, saying that
he was not seriously hurt.
When found at the bottom he was ly-
ing about two feet from the Milwaukee
tracks, and 1t is a miracle that he did
not roll farther. Just a minute or two
after the body was found a train rushed
by at a high rate Of speed.
Ackerman fell into a sound sleep soon
after he regained consciousness. His ply
sician says that his experience will keep
him from his work but a few days at the
outside. He regards the escape as some
thing wonderful.

AT INDIAN MOUNDS.
POstOfIice Band Entertains Fair
Sized Crowd With Good Music.


Despite the error in advertising, which
kept many people away from the Indian
Mounds yesterday, there was a fair sized
and a decidedly happy crowd present to
hear the concert by the Postofice
band and enjoy the pleasant surround
ings of the place.
This was the third Sunday for which
the post office musicians were engaged
to enter ain the mound visitors, Rain
interfered with the seoncert On the first
Sunday, but. the second, whie! was. a
week ago, saw a very large gathering
and fine day. The public was under
the misapprehension that the concerts
closed week ago, hence the diminished
gathering yesterday
81. Yesterday was the last of the series OF
these concerts, but it is probable the same
band will play there next Sunday also.
Some one remarked on the grounds that
Uncle Sans postal clerks have not dis
coursed finer music this season than that
which came from their instruments yes
terday. They had a variety of good
pieces on hand that were calculated to
suit the fancy of the most fastidious.
Overtures, marches, waltzes and med
leys composed a most entertaining pro-
gramme. A series of Spanish waltzes
was played by the band which evoked
such long and hearty applause that 1t
was easily accorded first place on the
programme.

The members of Prosperity Camp No. 2,

monuments that the camp had placed

of a very impressive nature, and were
well attended. :. The first service was held

Dec. 13 last. The ceremonies opened with
the singing of Nearer, My God. to Thee
after which J. H. Brown, acting consul
commander, delivered the opening ad-
dress.
The next part of the ceremony consisted
of the placing of pike pole and streamer
at the foot of the grave, and also laying
branches on the grave.
After the quartette had sung funeral
anthem, the consul commander recited a
poem entitled, 80 Why Should the Spirit
Be Proud?"
The monument was then unveiled, and
the quartette sang Rock of Ages" The
consul commander dedicated it to the
lASitOIy VI uillp l. j. HdQ6Q,
