that hereafter they will in reali-

intention of Mr.. White Of
the inclined cable railway to
build an additional track be-
fore next year and extend both
to the river bank. This will
have the effect of vastly in
creasing the acreage of the
camp ground which has become
too small. The river front has
been until this year almost in
accessible, but the new facilities
for getting up and down hill
solves the problem.

WEDNESDAY.
succeeds.

Governor W. J. Bailey ar
rived on the grounds at an early
hour today and spent the morn
ing visiting the various portions
of Camp Logan.
Aside from the annual meet
ing nothing was done during
the morning:
The crowd began to assert
itself and DO noon there was as
big a crowd as ever a Wednes
day saw. First inl the after
noon occurred the roll call by
states participated in by nearly
1000 veteran soldiers of the
great war. The excellent
weather has permitted a large
attendance of old soldiers and
they are taking full advantage
of it.
Illinois had 168 men in line
this morning out of POP regis
tered. Where were the other
81?
At 2:3O Governor Bailey be-
gan his address to an audiance
of about 5000. He occupied a
arge part of the afternoon
His remarks were patriotic in
their nature and were received
with enthusiasm, as is custom
airy with good speakers in the
camp. Governor Bailey is not
so well known in this part Of
the state as some others, aud
today he came closer to our
people than ever before. He
is one of the best governors the
state ever had.
Congressman Campbell will
speak tonight.
At the auditorium last night
Mrs. Laura Tibbits held forth,
at some length, and there was
little else doing in the way of
speaking.

An odd pair is seen in Comrades

44th New York, who is 4 feet, 9 inch
es high and weighs 106 pounds, and
John Gowdy of the 16Sd Ohio, Co.

to tell. The two have been quite
chummy since their arrival. All
sorts of jokes are cracked at their
expense, and they enjoy the fun
along with the rest.

Man Shot.

Officer AL. Lane shot ]. NJ. Muir
ply, pop manufacturer of Chero-
kee on the bottoms at l o'clock We'd
nesday. The officer was trying to
take drunk man to the Jail, when
Murphy interfeEed and endeavored
to take the drunk away from the
officer. Lane used his club on
Murphy. who in turn pulled his
gun and was about to shoot the
officer. Lane then pulled his gun
and shot Murphy through the alb.
domen, and it Is thought he will
die.
James NJ. Murphy, the man who
was shot Wednesday by Offit er AL
Lane while interfering with him in
the discharge of his duties, died at
the Jones hospital, on the grounds
3 o'clock a. m. Thursday. His wife
and child arrived from Cherokee in
time to see him and be recognized.
The body was removed to Baxter
Springs to be prepared for burial.
Officer Lane was held to the coro-
ner's jury, which will investigate
the matter to the fullest extent.
Deplorable as this incident is it is
difficult to see why an unauthoriz-
ed man should carry fire arms con-
cealed about his person. 1t is not
only in violation of law but it is
also opposed to common sense and
the peace of the community.
Those who persist in carrying
them always incur greater risk
than those who do not.
A brother of the dead man lost
his life some years ago at Mineral,
Kan. in much the same way.

FRIDAY.

The reunion of 1908 will GO
down in history as the greatest
of all it's predecessors. There
have been times when the COM
rades were younger that the at
tendance of old soldiers have
been slightly larger, butat none
did they ever have a better
time, and at none that have
gone by was the interest in the
old soldiers so great as this
year. We said at thebeginning
that the great reunion was a
great summer school of patri-
otism, and that all old soldiers
were teachers. 1t is true and
well spoken, we still believe.
Those who have come feel the
influence of the old soldier
spirit here and they carry it
away with them.
Col. D. r. Anthony arrived
this morning and is addressing
the comrades this afternoon in
the auditorium. An address by
Col. Anthony is at all times in
teresting, but one to his old
comrades in arms is of added
Importance to them.
The success of the reunion
this year is due in large part to
the assistance the association
has received from friends. The
w. G. T. q. has contributed
largely, and the officers of the
association have frequently
been heard to express their APP

STAND MEN JUBILANT.

The only kick made by the stand
men is that the crowd is too much
for them: they can't get goods
enough to supply the demand.
Wednesday evening the ice cream
was all, gone and by Thursday
morning all stocks were down to
bare shelves. Dealers who sup
posed they brought enough to run
through the reunion were tele-
graphing in every direction for
more goods. A car load of ice
cream came in early Thursday
morning and was absorbed by
dealers in thirty minutes.
Dealers in glassware and fancy
goods sold twice as much az they
expected and there is not stand
man or fakir on the ground who
has not made money and we'll
pleased with their investment.
Every stand man will be here next
year. They say they always make
up at Baxter what they lose at
other reunions.

SHERIFF RAINS LOOKS AT BAx.
TER MINES.

Sheriff Raius and his brother
George recently took drive down
in the territory and stopped at the
newly opened mines, particularly
the Sunny Side. These gentlemen
were very highly pleased with what
they saw, and are well satisfied in
their own minds that very rich de-
posts of zinc are there.
In the course of seven years re-
porting mining interests and the
sales of ore for the western part OF
the mining district the writer has
had occasion to note the most cue.
cessful miners and largest produc.
ers of ore, and he can say without
the slightest hesitancy that Rains
Bros. are without question the
largest operators in the Galena
district. Whenever these gentle
men take hold of proposition it is
only a question of a short while un-
til large ore sales are reported from
that place. Some of the largest
land owners have said they would
rather have Rains Bros. on their
land at 10 percent royalty than most
others at Is. That speaks louder
than anything else.
We would hail the day as one
that insured success When Rains
Bros. took hold of mining south of
this city, and while Mr.. Chas. Rains
stated emphatically to US that HE
visit to the territory had no special
Significance we shall always hope
that he may at no distant day at
tain an interest with his brother
down there. They would do more
to bring the territory mines to the
front than any man we know of.

THURSDAY.

With the ideal weather this
hasbeen about the best Thurs
day the great reunion ever saw
The crowds are really too
small to accommodate the great
crowds.
Senator Burton arrived this
morning accompanied by his
secretary Col. w. W. Smith. =
D. w. Mulvane of Topeka ar
rived at the same time. The
roll call by states occurred as
usual today. Just after noon
the marshall band began play
ing in front of headquarters
On call the comrades fell into
line and marched down Logan
ave., Red Hot street and Paak
avenue to the auditorium. A
great gathering had assembled
there in anticipation of an after
noon meeting, but the veterans
were given the right of way and
the crowd fell back before the
advancing columns. More SOL
diers were gathered there than
were ever in one body before in
Camp Logan. Roll call occur
red in the usual fashion.
At 2;30 United States senator
Burton addressed the crowd
He was still speaking when we
went to press.
In point of attendance the
reunion compares most
favorably with all its predeces-
sors. J. G. Lovrein, district
agent of the Frisco,
states that never before did the
Frisco bring in so many people
on Wednesday, nor the passen-
ger business up to date amount
TO so much as this year. The
feed stable men never knew
such a large business as they
lid yesterday on any day OF
any other reunion. The grounds
never before had so many COW
sred wagons.
Another indication of the
greatness of this years reunion
S that the meat men ran low on
last evening, something
lat never before happened.
While Governor Bailey was
speaking yesterday the auditor
UNI was packed and the crowds
;urged up close, but the streets |
we're as full as ever. At a con-
sentative estimate there must
nave been on the grounds about
5000 people. Immense as the
crowd was yesterday it was not
/ marker to today's.

TUESDAY.

Tuesday shows the usual
amount of Tuesday work.
With the exception of finishing
touches on a few shows the re-
union may be said to be fully
established. The routine Of
morning in camp was followed.
Some camping parties organ
lied small excursions up and
down the river. The increased
crowds were made manifest
when the first trains began to
arrive. 1t seemed to be mostly
camping people, and few from
the surrounding country were
seen.
The band arrived last night,
too late to give a concert, but
this morning played in the
auditorium. S. G.. Cozad of
Pittsbnrg spoke for a short
time.
The afternoon session at the
auditorium was taken up. with
roll call by states, preceded by
a very pretty and impromptu
act by the comrades at the in
stigation of Capt. A. c. Hillegos
When the auditorium was
we'll filled the captain stepped
forward and stated that he had
a little matter that he desired
to bring to the attention of the
comrades. He recited that Col.
Weldy had served the associa-
ton and the veterans for many
years in the capacity of COM
mander with the rank Of colon
ell, and he now proposed that
the colonel be given the title of
brigadier general at least. A
motion to that effect was car
ried with great and spontaneous
enthusiasm.
Illinois had 100 and Indiana
so at roll call today. Ohio and
Missouri followed.
Capt. Hillegos, sergeant maj
or of the association, deserves
unusual credit for the excellent
manner in which he has decora-
ted the auditorium this year.
The captain, who is a most
valuable man, wherever you
put him, always tries to Guido
himself each year, and usually

An account of this mass acre as
given by Comrade Thompson is
that Camp Blair, by which the post
on the south side of the branch,
near the Mann sprirg, was known,
was attacked about noon by two
columns who advanced under the
United States flag, and clothed in
Federal uniform. 1t wac at the
noon hour and the men retired
with haste inside their breastworks
and beat the enemy off with loss
of ten men killed. Capt. ]. B. Pond
was in command of the post, which
was manned by parts of troops c
and D and part of Co E, Second
Kansas colored troops, in all num-
boring about 145 men.
In an hour or such a matter fir
ing was heard in the woods to the
to the north, which was pre-
sumed to be ruse to draw the men
out of camp, and no particular at
tention was paid to it for that rea-
son. In reality il was the enemy
Quantrell, the guerilla. attacking
the body guard of General Blunt
in the guise of federal soldiers as
he had appeared at Camp Blair.
About 135 men were killed in all,
belonging to part of troop 3rd
Wisconsin cavalry and niscel-
laneous number of soldiers on the
way south to join their regiments.
The men in camp Blair had no
information of what was going on
until Major B. S. Henning of the 3rd
and a member of General Blunt's
staff. anb Capt. w. S. Tough, chief
OF scouts, came into camp with the
terrible news. AS soon as possible
the troops mounted and started in
pursuit, beating Quantrell off and
General Blunt from capture.
So far as known F. d. w. Arnold,
of Lamar, and q director of the re-
union association is the only sur
vivor of the massacre, and he was
badly wounded.

An old decrepit comrade from
Galena was up by the vaudeville
show last evening when a smart al
eck came along. The young fellow,
who was about IS, seemed sored at
the world, and began by GUESSING
the government, ending up by ex-
pressing the wish that all old SOL
diers were in some place where
frost is seldom ever seen. Old and
weakly az he was the blood arose
too high and he welted the fellow
across the head with a small cane
he carried, knocking him down. He
got up second time and began
his TRADE again, and the old fellow
laid him out a second time. BY this
time persons began TO come around
and strong man told him quietly
to move on and shut up or he
would be thrown into Jail in add.

General Weldy says he deeply
appreciates his pro motion from
Colonel to Brigadier General, but
at the same time he feels his un-
worthiness of such honor. More
over he states, it is unseemIy for a
origadier to be compelled each
morning to police his'quarters, in
GLIDING the dining hall, and carry
wash water. towels, ETC., for common
congressman, senators and COVER
nors. Then he has to curry and
feed his horse, milk and slop the
hogs. We trust the general will
not mind too much, for, as Capt.
Hubbard so aptly states, his wife
will have him reduced to the ranks
by Sunday.
