Historic Old Military Map.

The presence and prominence of
Gen. G.. NJ. Dodge last week at the
State Encampment of the Grand Army
of the Republic at Des Moines caused
attorney Theo. F. Myers to show his
friends the other day historic old
military map that was turned over to
him a few years ago with the papers of
the late DIR. Ballard. The map is en-
titled, "A map of the military district
of Kansas and the territories. Maj.
Gen. G.. M. Dodge, commanding.
1885," The map when unfolded is
about eight feet square and is a splen-
did map of the territory west of Iowa,
Missouri, and Arkansas on to the Pa
cific ocean. 1t shows the Union Pacif-
ic IN process of construction as far as
Fl. Kearney, Nebr. There were no
other railroads in that great section
then. The map shows all the forts
over this entire strech of territory and
the trails used by stages, the army and
the settlers. 1t also shows the noun
tains, the passes and the streams. 1t
is mounted on canvas and is folded so
it could be carried on the march. Mr..
Myers Justly regards it as being of his
toric interest and value.

Huh" grunted an Exiraite as he
threw down the Brayton Bray that
night. "They can't hev Decoration
day over thar, fur they hain't got any
dead soldiers"
RIVALRY GROWS EXCITING.
In the mean time both towns doomed
their respective celebrations. Posters
were playcarded every place and each
town tried to outvie the other in ex-
travagant adjectives and brightly
hued posters. The people of one town
got so they would not speak to the in
habitants of the other. School child
rem fought each other when they met
ana there was enmity between the in
habitants of the two towns.
Three days before the time for the
celebration a committee of women
went out from Extra to get the grave
ready for the suspicious event. When
they arrived at the cemetery there
was hasty examination and then
they all hasten back to town.
Someone has gone and dug Jim
Hider up" was the excited exclama-
tion of the chairman of the commit
| tee as she came up to crowd of men
standing in front of the postoffice.
"I'll bet it's them dummed Brayton
| fellers, !" said the postmaster, gravely.
A party of men went out to the
graveyard and, sure enough, the
grave had been rihed of its dead.
There was big hole there, pile of
yellow clay and the remains of a cof-
fin box, but nothingmore.
Then it was that gloom settled
down in Extra. The very atmosphere
| grew deep blue color. The celebra7
ton had to be called off, for how
could they have a celebration with
nothing to decorate?
Decoration day dawned bright and
beautiful at Brayton. The sun was
dazzling and the sky was cloudleSs.
Early in the morning there was great
activity.
| In the forenoon a procession wound
its way through the streets. The god
dess of liberty in cheese cloth and a
flag beamed on the people and thirty
five little girls giggled and wriggled
on the hayrack as they held aloft
banners bearing the names of the
| states.
The brass band footed and blowed
and the Odd Fellows, the Masons and
the other fraternal orders marched
to the stirring music. "he long pro-
cession wound its way to the cemetery
where the one grave was literally
covered with flowers and flags. AnG
on the tombstone was the inscription

Sundays Meetings a Success.

A little over two weeks of the meet
lngs conducted by W. A. Sunday and
r. U. Fischer have past and already
enough has been accomplished to say
that the meetings are a success and
that an infinite amount of good, will
result from the labor, that has been
performed. While the weather. has
been unfavorable and other seeming
obstacles seemed to prevent, or at least
retard the onward progress, that might
De anticipated, sweeping victory for
the churches has been achieved, as
two hundred and thirty-two CONVEX
slons are the results. There remains
nearly two weeks more and with the
united and combined efforts of the
vast numbers of converts added to the
strength of the Christian workers it is
safe to say that, 1.-THE half has not
been told.
Those, who at first honestly and sin
cerely opposed the efforts have given
up that, Mr.. Sunday is an earnest, ener-
getic Christian gentleman, possessing
spotless character and sunny dispo-
sitlon, free from any and all eccentrici-
ties; and that his mission is the saw
ing OF human souls, regardless of the
opinions and opposing forces of man
kind.
Noon who attends his meetings
crltlcise his work or his methods.
Most OF the better classes attend his
meetings regularly and find every SER
mon, profitable, instructive and enter
tanning. The stores close at $50, so as
to give all chance to attend and
most people are improving their oppor-
tunlties and are constant attendants
Already many of the best men and
women have united their efforts with
the Christian people, while many who
make no profession give words of en-
couragement and by their presence
lend their influence to the cause.
His meeting to men only, last Sun
day, was pronounced success and it
is predicted, that at least, one thous.
and men will come out next Sunday
afternoon to his sermon, which will
be to men only.
The music under the able direction
of Mr.. Fischer has been a winning
feature, but Miss Larimore, arrived
Monday and already the sweet
strains of her music have touched the
tender chord Of sympathy and pene-
trated the inner resources of mems
hearts and make them respond to the
nobler impulses OF their nature.
Saint and sinner should not fail to
avail themselves of the opportunity of
being present to gain something how
ever small, and gain all by the
meetings.

New York, Feb. 5.-There is every
