capital gave him a welcome befitting a hero who conquers in peace On the reviewing stand were seated the President and cabinet officers and numerous other dignitaries.
 The flag of the G. A. R. was hung out, the stars and stripes and the ban ner of peace approached, and the col umn moved forward again and kept moving for several hours. The ex- ecutive committee of the Grand Army and the Sons of Veterans escort led the way, and then came the Illinois leading the veterans of the Grand Ar my. The band played, Tramp, Tramp. Tramp. the Boys Are Marching" and Columbia Post. of Chicago, 100 srong, marched down Pennsylvania avenue as bravely as they marched on that memorable day of the grand review of 1865. But the strains of music and the applause took the heart out of many of the old soldiers and the only wonder is that it did not make them all as sentimental as were many Of those who looked on and let the tears course down their cheeks as they saw the Grand Army on probably its last grand review.
 Numerically, Pennsylvania and New York carried of the palm in the pa rade, though Illinois, Indiana and Ohio did not fall far below in the num- Der of veterans in line. Wisconsin followed Illinois, in line, with walcott Post, of Milwaukee leading. Then came the Pennsylvania posts and their old battle flags. which attracted much attention. Ohio led the second divis- ion and was followed by New York, the Lafayette post of New York city, and the Bidwell-wilkinson post of Buffalo. attracting special attention by their neat uniforms and excellent marching.
 The third division was made up of posts from Connecticut. Massachusetts, New Jersey. Maine, California. Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Vermont. and North Carolina. Tn the fourth division were Maryland, Nebraska. Michigan, Iowa and Indiana Minnesota, Missou- ri and Kansas made good showing in the sixth division. Tn the next di- vision the department of Potomac brought up the rear of the procession. It was long after the noon hour when the last of the veterans had marched by the White House The entire route was decorated lavishly, every building public and private, being adorned with the stars and stripes. bunting of red. white and blue, and the insignia of the G. A. R. and the various army corps, until the eye of the spectator was sated with the varied display. The morning trains brought hundreds of visitors from all points within radius of a hundred miles of Wash ington- and seldom has the capital entertained larger crowd. It is es- tiamted that 5ooooo persons witnessed the pageant
 The parade was the feature of the day. Everything else gave away to 1t, and when the march was over the veterans were in no mood to do any thing but rest and endeavor to re- ciperate sufficiently to enjoy some of dhe public functions arranged for the evening.

The following article gives Mrs. w.
A Poynter's impressions of the feder-
alton meeting at Columbus, as read by
her before the Woman's club on Mon
day afternoon:
You have all heard of the country boy
who upon making his first trip to the
city complained that he was unable to
see the city on ACCOUNT of the houses.
So with me, the large number of dele
gates almost prevented my seeing the
convention. The largest number of dele
gates ever enrolled in the history of the
federation was present at Columbus.
Quite a number of new clubs sent dele
gates for the first time, while only a
few which have been represented at
former state federation meetings failed
to send delegates to this one. The ar
rangements made by the Columbus la
dies for the entertainment of the meet
ing were perfect and too much can not
be said in praise of the kindness and
hospitality Of the good people of Co
lumbus Not only did the people of
Columbus do all i'm their power for the

pleasure and entertainment of the dele
gates, but Dame Nature gave US her
kindliest smile and the weather was of
the Nebraska October kind at its best,
which left nothing to be desired in that
direction. Meeting the delegates ar
irving by the late trains Monday night,
with carriages to convey them to the
beautiful homes of those who had
kindly undertaken to entertain, fur
nishing carriages for drives about the
city every day, their kindness and So
licitude for our happiness never waned
for a moment, and when we left for
home Friday morning I am sure every
lady was ready to say Columbus ladies
understood the art of entertaining.
The difficulty with which those who
spoke made themselves heard, and the
strain upon the delegates to hear,
seems to me to emphasize the need
of study of distinct enunciation and
the carrying qualities of the voice The
speaking to questions, the reading of
reports, the verbal reports of commit
tees, all should be so distinct that every
delegate could hear easily. This was
not always the case. Many parliament
tary tangles might have been avoided,

You will be pleased to hear OF the
prominence of our own club ladies.
What Mrs. Richardson said on parlia-
mentary usage was law. Mrs. Hairs
enthusiasm was contagious. No more
beautiful thought was expressed than
Mrs. Bushnelrs eulogy of ]. Sterling
Morton. Mrs. Taylor presided over the
civics session with beautiful dignity
and composure. Mrs. Humans ear
nestness made itself strongly felt, and
when she spoke all could hear. Miss
Miller was always just where she
should be. She was the entire badge
committee and did her duty so helpfully
we felt she deserved a vote of thanks.
Miss Bullock's report was full and
complete and Miss Haywood's music
was highly appreciated.
The reports certainly showed eff
cheney and earnest work by our officers
and directors.
A fine object lesson in art was given
the federation by the committee on art
A large room in the corner of the
opera house was filled with pictures,
china, fine lace work and many pieces
of typography. These were tastefully
arranged by Mrs. F. M. Hall, and Mrs.
Herrick of Columbus. Many pieces of
china were used to illustrate the lee
lures on ceramics.
The ladies showed their appreciation
by filling the room as soon as 1t was
opened and remaining until after the
business session opened.
The home department is the chief
feature of club work. In fact all de-
partments center in the home. One
speaker aptly expressed this thought
by saying "The home is the unit Of the
world" and the same thought was re-
iterated many times by other speakers.
Those interested in household eco
nomics met in the lobby for general
conference and exchange Of ideas and
plans. There seemed to be a general
opinion that practical demonstrations
were of great value. This department
plan something similar to ours last
year, but more exhaustive, for they
had books and leaflets and each men,
Der studied the subject. For tired, busy
home makers who can scarcely take
the time to attend, the - suggestive
method, as given by having a paper on
a subject followed by a general discus
sion and exchange Of methods seems
to me the better way
The social hour in the middle of the
afternoon session afforded fine op-
portunity for general acquaintance
and is an improvement on the formal
reception 1 think. Dantily dressed
young ladies served cool and refresh
ing punch and the chatter of voices
testified to the pleasure of the delegates
i'm meeting each other and the call to
order required sometimes the third
stroke of the presidents gavel before
the business could be resumed 1 en-

there was a quaver in the voice, or a
trembling Of the paper in hand, which
showed the timidity of a new speaker.
The work of the coming year is In
competent hands. If the introduction of
our new officers is any index 1 am
heartily in favor of the federation of
the clubs and Of the annual meeting.
In union there is strength" Success
is more assured by concerted action.
In club work there should be "a long
pull, a strong null and mil all 70

the mines late yesterday evening.
Yesterday at noon, at public auction
at Cayton. Mr.. Lorraine and Mr.. F. c..

others. purchased the Gayton coal proper

at S25, 600, and was spirited from first
to last.
Mr. Lorraine said last night that he
and Mfr. Christian were associated with
others whose names could not be given
out yet. but that they had plenty of
n oney to operate the mines to their full
output. and they would begin to do so
lust as soon as the court confirmed the
sale.

Mr.. Lorraine or the firm with which
he has been connected, has long gotten

has not been worked for u year.
Mr. Lorraine said there was enough
lard there to keep UP operation for twenty
years.

The terms were one-third cash and the
remainder in one and two years in equal

A GREAT ENTERPRISE
The operation of these mines will mean
A great deal to Richmond. All stores and
provisions and clothing for, say. 1.sO0
men and their families must come from
Richmond, employment being given to
these many men. many of whom will |

Richmond will have a great quantity OF |
coal right at her door. and this will |
mean cheaper fuel. because Of the small |
expense of getting 1t here.

judge, and the negro was legally hanged
within two hours after sentence had been

Ten days ago the dead bodies of Farm
er Hicks. his wife and daughter. were
found in the Hicks home, and Sheriff
Srradly Immediately began to search for
the nerpetrator of the crimes. A week
later Jim Buchanan was arrested ana fl

Eews OF the neSro,s confession spread
rapidly, and a mob of several hundred
.peop,e marched upon the sheriff ara his
deputies with the avowed purpose of
securing possession of the negro and
burning him at the stake. Sheriff Sprad-
ly and his deputies refused to give over
his prisoner. and later he was joined by
Sheriff Bowers, of San Augustine county.
The two officers, through a ruse, finally
succeeded in spiriting the Eegro away to
the parish Jail at Shreveport
Buchanan was afterwards taken to the
Jail at Henderson, and a company of nj
liIia was ordered out to protect the me-
gro from violence. a mob formed. and
