Ia Memory of R. Lampkin.

The bugle call has again sounded and
another of our comrades has obeyed the
summons of the Great Commander. On
January 3rd, 1901, Robert Lumpkin,
End Missouri cavalry, whom we have
long known and loved for his sterling
qualities, died at his home near Sharon
and on Friday, January 4th, taps were
sounded over his grave-bed by comrades
of Eldred Post, G. A. r., who weep for
him as brother gone, as comrade who
endured the privations of war in brave
defense of country.
To the surviving relatives we tender
these few words, which but feebly ex-
press our love and respect for him who
is gone.

EQUIP FORT SMELLING
CONGRESSMAN FLETCHER HAS
HIGH HOPES FOR THE POST.

Congressman Loren Fletcher arrived
home from Washington yesterday morn
ing to spend his holiday recess. He
will return about the first of the year to
be present at the opening of congress on
Jan. 6. Mr.. Fletcher is in very good
health, and is pleased to be among his
constituents again. Everything has
moved along in the usual way during the
session.
In regard to the appointment Of COM
nlittees, Mr. Fletcher said today:
''Sorae charges have been made in the
committees, but no changes of import
ance. 1 am well satisfied and pleased
with my assignments on committees, and
think that all of my Minnesota col
leagues are satisfied with theirs.
Il have every reason to believe all
the general legislation that the people
here would expect that has been talked
of relating to the postoffice, the reser-
voirs at the hcadwaters of the Missis-
sippi, the locks and dams and the public
building improvements, will be accom-
plished, and I am more than pleased
with the anticipation of what we eX-
pect to get at Fort Smelling.
"As far as the Fort Smelling matter is
concerned, it is not entirely definite yet
Two batteries of artillery have been
ordered here-that is settled. We expect
q full regiment of 1900 men and officers
of infantry. In addition we hope fol
three companies of cavalry but that is
doubtful just at this time. But later
on we fully expect that and we hope for
a full corps of engineers later on, which
will give up fully equipped post.

MANY FIRMS LIKELY TO BID
Contractors Say, st. Paul Gets Its
Paving Done Very Cheap, Es-
pecially So Considering
Disadvantages.


During the next three months, by March
in all probability at the latest, tine board
of public works win call for bids on
street paving which will represent an
expenditure not. far, from 100000 wiliie
if other streets, now under consideration,
are included, the figure will reach nearer
$500, 600.
Four final orders, fully approved by the
council, are now in the hands of the
board, and are simply being held up for
the purpose of securing list that will be
an Involvement for firms all over the
country to bid on. The orders now COM
pleted include. Sibley street. South. Waba-
sha, Eighth street and Eagle Prelinin-
airy orders for the paving of Robert street,
Payne avenue and Seventh street are
now under consideration. The latter
street alone if improved, represents an
expenditure of nearly $75CC0.

There appears to be considerable in

POSED in Senator Nelson's b1l, and should
this department be created eX-Gov. Mer-
RAM will be the man placed at the head

bureau is one that would justly entitle
him to a cabinet position.
Personally L have little doubt but
what Secretary Gage will soon retire from
the cabinet, although the talk of his re-
tirement has started since l left Wash
ington. The reason for his resignation
l cannot give more definitely than that
l suppose he considers that he cannot
longer be useful in his present position.
AS to his successor, l have not heard
any person spoken Of.
1.-The appointment Of Henry c. Payne,
as postmaster general so far as I know,
has given general satisfaction. AS to
changes in the postal laws, l do not think
there will be any. The abuses of the
second-class matter are being looked in
to by the department, and are being
righted as rapidly as possible. Those who

IN COMPLETE. HARMONY
WORK ACCOMPLISHED BY PREsBY-
TERRAIN CREED COMMITTEE.


Charles T. THOMPSON, a member of the
Presbyterian committee ON the revision
of the confession of faith and also of the
subcommittee on a short statement, has
returned from Washington, where the
last sessions were held. He says:
The subcommittee on a short state
ment met just before the full committee
and made some progress in shaping such
a statement as is demanded. When the
full committee met, however, it was de-
cided that inasmuch as the full commit
tee is responsible for part of the work,
it was better to take up the whole mat
ter from the beginning with the full COM
mittee. That course was pursued with
all branches of the work.
The full committee was in session for
eleven days. The proceedings were char
acterized by the utmost harmony and
good feeling. The work was exceedingly
arduous, but satisfactory to all concern
ed. AS a result the committee adopted
unanimously, subject to such modifica-
tons as might be thought necessary at
the next meeting, a short statement of
the faith of the church in less than
twenty articles. A form of declaratory
statement explaining the difficulties be-
lieved to exist in the old confession of
faith was also adopted and it was also
substantially agreed that verbal changes
in the confession would be recommended
by the committee A subcommittee
OF five was appointed to prepare these
verbal changes. That subcommittee Will
meet in Indianapolis some time in jan
uary, and will report the result of their
work at a meeting of the full committee,
to be held in Philadelphia, Feb. 5.
While the committee was in session it's
members were almost overwhelmed with
social attentions of a delightful charac-
ter. One of the results of these COM
mittee meetings will be the formation
of delightful friendships that will last
through life.

FRANK F. GOODSON ARRESTED
FOR EMBEZZLING FROM
UNCLE SAM

Made Good DefaIcatiOn of $500, but
Arm of Law Reached Out
Arrested While
Working.

Frank F. Goodson was weighing coffee
in a grocery store yesterday when
United States Deputy Marshal Bunde
tapped him on the arm and displayed his
credentials Goodson tottered back, the
scoop with its contents fell from his
fingers and went crashing to the floor,
while his face assumed a stare Of blank
amazement and fear that was only inten-
sified when the officer caught him by the
arm and escorted him out of the door.
Goodson's crime was the embezzlement
Of about $500 in money orders while 9TH
ciating as postmaster at South Park, near
Seattle, In Washington. He made good
the shortage but the act still remained,
and accordingly an Indictment was issued
by the United States grand jury. The
shortage was discovered some four
months ago, and since that time his
whereabouts were unknown until yester-
day, when the local office learned where
he was employed. He has wife and two
children living in Omaha and, it is said,
has always borne a good reputation.
Goodson, who is about fifty-eight years
of age, was given a hearing before Com
missioner Spencer yesterday, and entered
a plea of guilty. His bond was fixed at

where ARE HIS REMAINS
COL. SNELLING'S FINAL RESTING
PLACE MYSTERY.

The movement that was started some
time ago in st. Paul to raise a monument
to the first commandant of Fort Smelling,
Col. Smelling, and to remove his remains
to the fort which bears his name, has
come to rather an abrupt end for the
present, owing to the fact that the gen
tlemen interested in the project have
been unable so far to locate the dust of
the gallant colonel.
1t has been reported that he was buried
at Fort Dearborn, N. Y, but a careful
examination has proven futile as far as
locating the remains there is concerned.
A number of people connected with the
State Historical society have been busy
for the past few days, porting over old
volumes in search of some record that
would show where the old soldiers last
resting place is. but UP to date they have
only discovered that no one seems to
know the spot They have, however,
found information that would lead lem
to believe that the statement that Col.
Smelling died in 1928 was mistake.
