teresting series, all of which have been well
attended As Gen. j. C. Black said, in his
address, leach succeeding Reunion VIII be OF
more interest than any that preceded it, and
when only a handful of old veterans are
| left to answer to the roll CALI the interest

| modern army"
The addresses of welcome were delivered
by Hon. d. w. Helm, son Of veteran, and

| sions; Hon. j. A. Rose, Secretary of State;
Maj. E. A. Blodgett, of Chicago; Gen. G. w.
Pavey, of Mt. Vernon; Maj. Krughod, Col.
Partridge, of Waukegan; Senator ID. A.
Campbell, and Prof. w. w. CarDes, of Chi
cago, the latter of whom gave zest to all
the meetings by incidents and anecdotes, told
in his inimitable style. Many other celeb
rites were in attendance, besides the thou
sands who came to hear and see their COM
rades of the days gone by"
Music was furnished by a trio Of Salem,
ILL.,, ladies, led by Miss frankie Garner; also
local glee club and brass band.
The crowd on the second day numbered
10000 people.
The local G. A. r. Post was conspicuous
for their attention to every detail needed
to handle and care for the vast crowd.
After Gen. Black's magnificent Grafton,
Judge Ben. o. Jones, of Metropolis intro
duced the following resolution denouncing
Anarchy and demanding It's suppression,
which was passed with one solemn, i'm
pressive AYE, Vet"
Resolved, That we, the Soldiers and Sailors
Of Southern Illinois, assembled in fraternal
reunion at Metropolis, ILL.,, view with horror
assassination Presidents
this time, especially, the act OF the Buffalo as
sassin in striking down President Mckinley
while he was fraternizing with the people,
without cause or pro-OcatiOn; and de-
mand Of our representatives in Congress the
enactment of such laws will make overt
acts Of Anarchy treason, to be punished by
death, and open expressions Of sympathy
Herewith high crime punishable by death
or deportation.
Resolved, That Anarchy should not be
permitted TO dwell under the protection of
the flag which We have borne triumphantly
over so many battlefelds.-BEN. o. JONES.

for the War Department,
Washington, ID. c., Oct s, 1901.
A special dispatch was published in sew
eral of the leading daily papers on or about
Sept. %, 1901, in regard to an alleged dis
eoyery of some old laws by a BROOKLYN
lawyer, granting $S4 State and $192 Fed
eral bounties to soldiers for services in the
recent Spanish-American War, and stat
ing that it would cost the State about
$2,000.O00 and the Federal Government
About 100000. 1t was also alleged that
some thousands of cases were now before
Attorney-General Knox at Washington for
his decision, and that the matter is ex.
days.
This dispatch is very vague, and so far
rs the United States is concerned is in
correct and misleading. No such cases
are before the Attorney General of the
United States for his action or decision.
Furthermore, no law has ever been pass
ed by Congress, granting any bounties
ghatever to any soldiers for service in
the late Spanish-American War of 1895
and 1899. Certain laws were passed Civ
