NOUS and symbolic At the foot of the
monument 20O veterans who had left limbs
to rot on the battlefield formed a guard of
honor. Soldiers of the regular army stood
by. at attention, listening to the words of
eulogy that came from the orators The
gray of the granite. the blue of the old
veterans, the red and the blue Of the deco
ratons, were colors that stamped in
delibly on the history of the world and the
archives of a great nation. William Te-
cumseh Sherman Thorndyke, a grandson of
the famous soldier, pulled the cord that re-
leased the flags bound about the statue
and survivors of his army tenderly folded
the draperies of the attendant groups and
laid them at the feet of their beloved
leader. IA HxH
The very stands erected for the accommo-
dation of the spectators were in harmony
with the spirit of the occasion. On the east
was the red stand. representing the red left
wing or an army. where survivors of the
armies of the Potomac and Ohio were seat
ed. The center of the army the base of its
operations, was represented by the white
stand to the north of the statue. Here

were to be found on the stands occupied

y from the rear of all the stands, from the
flag pole on the top of the white stand,
from the railing and the sides. AS far as
the eye could reach in any direction the
stars and stripes could be seen. About the
granite pedestal were huge garlands of
green, joining together the insignia adopted
by the four great armies, the Tennessee on
the south the Ohio on the north the Poto-
mac on the east and the Cumberland on the
west. Memories of the early service of the
general, when he was a subaltern. were re-
vived by the presence of members of the
Aztec Club of ~. veterans of the war in
Mexico, half century ago. The honor and
glory Of war was represented by the Medal

TO SUPPRESS PIRACY,
Probable Mission of Gunboats Sent to
Sandakan, Borneo.

Although not admitted at the Navy De-
partment it is believed that the mission
of the American gunboats Albay and Isla
de Cuba to Sandakan, on the north coast
of Borneo, is to assert American jurisdic-
ton over the small islands in that quarter
purchased from Spain, and at the same
time drive away the pirates who infest
those islands and prey upon commerce.
The policing of these islands was formerly
done by the British government as it was
principally her commerce that suffered
from the depredations of the sea robbers
The protection of commerce in that quarter
has recently been the subject of diplomatic
correspondence between the governments of
Great Britain and the United States, were
correspondence gave rise to a recent report
since discredited, that the British govern
ment claimed sovereignty over certain of
the islands which the United States had
purchased from the Spanish government

Below we give part of clipping
from the Creighton, MOI News,
giving an account of an entertain
ment in which Mrs. Kathryn
BrinkerhoH was one of the princi-
pal participants:
Especial mention should be made
of the vocal numbers rendered both
evenings by Kathryn Crane-Brink-
erhoff. Wednesday evening her
first number was "When the Swal-
lows Come Again." which was en-
cored, the singer responding with
Nevin's Mighty LAX Rose, (which
was received by the audience with
great appreciation. Her voice is a
pure, sweet soprano and, together
with her graceful .stage-bearing,
quite captivated the audience, and
by special request she sang the
"Tryolean Waltz Song" by Sch1ief-
farth, which she rendered the first
evening. Her voice delights her
hearers wherever she sings and her
ability as an instructor in both vo-
cal and instrumental music is un-
questionable"

The town council met last Mon
day evening and rushed a lot of
business through the town mill,
the most important item of interest
to the citizens being the issuance
of an order for $1,000 with $1O5 semi
annual interest due on the whole
$500 of bonds issued. This order
paid off the first bonds that are due
and the next will not mature until
Dec. /, 1907, and the last will not be-
come payable until 1912. The coun-
Gil felt relieved when this amount
was paid and feel that the manage
ment of the finances is conducted
properly. The marshal was
instructed to collect promptly all
dray licenses and water tax to meet
current expenses which are heavier
now on account of the increased
price of coal which must be bought
or shutdown the water system.
