and Intervening territory to the number Of o.
Seventy-fiye were accompanied by members
of their families The address of welcome was
by Capt Dougherty, Mayor Of Keokuk, and
the response by the President Of the Bri-
gade Association was an historical resume
OF the part which keokuk and southeastern
Iowa had taken in the development in the
State and In the civil war.
Gen. Dodge, President Of the Army of the
Tennessee and commander OF the Sixteenth
Army Corps, surveyor and builder of many
OF the railroad lines. was present and read
a notable and historical paper upon the out
break OF the war as ii related to the State
OF Iowa. He gave an interesting account of
his early acquaintance with Gems. Crocker
and Curtis and cOpiOus extracts from Gen.
CrOckers letters to him covering a period
from 1857 TO his death. He showed clearly
that Gen. Curtis was entitled to the full
credit for the victory at Pea Ridge, and gave

kuk Glce Club and Mrs. Col. Jesse Cheek,
of Dcs MOines, long since adopted as the
singer Of the Brigade, was an inspiring feat
ure Of the two nights programs. The Hon.

teresting and eloquent account OF Keokuk as
an hospital city. Col. C. C. Horton, OF
the Soldiers Home, gave eloquent address
upOn the Home and the value of American

citation of the historic association. Regiment
nj and company reviews were notable feat
urcs, and the splendid spirit of fraternity and
comradeship of the organiZa tion were never
more manifest. Notwithstanding the rain and
the pOstponement from 10 a. III. to 2 p. m a
striking parade took place at the latter hour
Among its features were representations of
Sherman's Foragers returning to camp, and
the refugees which accompanied the Western
armies. The city OF KeOkuk in a pleasant
contest elected Miss Bertha Walcott. niece of
Gen. Beknap, as queen of the parade. The
former officers were all unanimously re-elect-
ed and the city of Muscatine chosen for the
