MOUMENTTOM MOTHER B1CkERDYKE.
Il Will Be Erected at Galesburg, ILL.,. by
the Old Soldiers.
Boston Globe. Her design has been &C.
cepted, and she has begun work on the
modelling of the full-size monument.
The design, like the woman it is in
tended to commemorate, is strong and
simple. A wounded soldier on the bat
tlefield has been tenderly lifted into
Z half-sitting posture by the army
nurse, while she holds cooling drink
to his parched lips. The figure of the
soldier is admirably done, and there is
fine feeling in the figure of Mother
Bickerdyke-the plain, tender woman
whose mission it was to relieve suffer-
ing soldiers wherever she found them.
Her hair is done up simply. Her
dress is that of the army nurse, but
the feeling of genuine tenderness in the
face and figure of the woman positively
ennobles her. It is truly that of the
mother bending over her wounded boy
and ministering to his immediate
wants.
This life-size group. which is to be
cast in bronze. will rest on q granite
pedestal without ornament. and only
the words "Mary A. Bickerdyke-
Mother" inscribed on the sides. The
simple lines Of this pedestal and its
shape lend much emphasis to the group
On top.
"Mother'' Bickerdyke's biography.
strange enough, is missing from the
encyclopedias, while those of many
women less famous are given. Mary
A. Bickerdyke was born near Mt. Yer
non. Knox county, O., July 10, 1917.
Her mother died when she was only
II months old. One Of her grandfathers
fought In the revolutionary war. She
married young.
After some years Of married life her
husband died and left her with sew
eral little children. When the war
broke out she was one of the most &C.
tive of the women in Galesburg, ILL.,, to
work for the soldiers at the front, and
when at one time trainload of sup
plies for the army were sent from
Galesburg to Cairo, she accompanied
them as delegate.
Her active army life began al nurse
after the battle of Belmont and from
there she followed Grant and later
Sherman through all the campaigns Of
the western armies, administering to
friend and foe alike on the battlefelds.
Then when the last battle was fought
and all the soldiers marched in re-
view at Washington, she was one of
the most noted figures in the great
parade.
After the rebellion SIZE went back to
her home and lived with her son, Prof.
Bickerdyke, at Russell, Kan. But she
never lost her interest in the old SOL
diers, and she devoted much Of the
time in the latter years to attending
to their wants in various "homes,'"
and in aiding them to securS pensions.

Burglars.
RTIRGT,ARS.

An attempt was made to blow open
the safe of the Peoples State bank
at Lalsota, two explosions of dyna-
mite awakening the citizens. Mar
shall Hurlett located the explosion
at the bank and was fired ut five
times, but not hit.
He rang the firebell and the citi-
gems turned out with revolvers, shot
guns and other weapons as soon as
the cause of the alarm was learned.
The burglars succeeded i'll making
their escape after wrecking the
banks safe, its outer and inner doors
being blown off, but the alarm was
given before the inside steel box
could be blown, although it was SO
badly damaged that it cannot be
opened.
Five men are supposed to have been
concerned in the job. As soon as the
people were aroused every effort was
made to capture them. but they stood
off the early arrivals and finally made
their escape. Several hundred shots
were fired.

Change Of Date.

Last week the Tribune announced
that the first entertainment of the
Public Library Lecture course would
take place Tuesday evening, Nov. 8.
That was right according TO original
planning, but owing to that date be-
ing the night of election day, the
managers wisely made a change.
They have fixed on Saturday even
ing, the 9TH of November. Bear this
la mind. The Kaffir Choir will be
present on this occasion. 1t il guar
anteed to be more than ordinary--a
genuine novelty,a revelation. The
managers are confident this enter
tainment will be pronounced at the
end OF the season as good as any II
not the best of the high class features
Of the course.

FALL and WINTER
TAILORING
We are prepared to supply

your demands from several
of the best WOODEN houses in
the United States at the lowest liv-
living prices. AS rule, the most
progressive men in every walk of
life have their clothing made to
order. All the presidents of our
country, from Washington to
Roosevelt, were men Of good taste
and judgment, who believed in
made-to-order wearing apparel.
Why1 Because they found such
clothing to be the most satisfactory
and cheapest in the end. 1t is not
generally known that we have had
three tailor presidents. Fillmore
was tailor's apprentice; the next
was Taylor by name; and John
son was first-class tailor and cut
ter for many years. Please leave
your orders for Suits, Overcoats

WATER NOT SURE.


Washington, Nov. 29.--Just as the
officials OF the reclamation service were
preparing to make contracts nor the
construction OF the Malheur irrigation
project in Malheur county, Oregon.
after having completed negotiations
with farmers whose lands will be re-
claimed under the proposed canals, an
unexpected obstacle arises which
threatens to force The abandonment of
this attractive reclamation scheme, the
most promising now open to govern
ment adoption in Oregon.
The grant made to the Willamette
valley and Cascade Mountain Military
road company traverses the area pro-
posed to be irrigated along Malheur
river, and embodies about one-sixth Of
the total irriagble area. The govern.
ment, after persistent efforts, procured
signed agreements from all farmers
owning lands in the irrigation area. bv
which they pledge themselves to nav
their proportionate share of the cost OF
building this great project, namely,
$50 an acre.
III mad been assumed that the Mill
U ny Road people wonId be willing 70
enter into like agreement, inasmuch
rs The construction of this irrigation
project would greatly enhance the val
lie OF their lands and make them ,eadi-
y saleable. At present the road com
Danys lands are Vacant, unimproved |
md practically valueless. 1t turns ont
hat the assumption of the department
vas incorrect. The owners OF Military
Dad land, now residing in Paris, do |
lot look with favor upon The govern. |
nents proposition, and are unwilling
0 contribute anything towards build
ng storage reservoirs and canals.
The officials of the reclamation scr.
ice. who had banked so much ON this
reject, and had expected to see il
Iessed to early completion. are very
'uch disappointed at the turn affairs
ave taken. They are inclined to be-
eve that the Military Road people
no are opposing the governments
ian are not doing it in spirit If ami
'osiiy, but because they do not under
and what the government proposes
do.
