ATTEMPTTO BURN
The MILAN HALL
Absence of Draft Saves Building
From Destruction Last
Night.
FLAMES EAT THROUGH FLOOR
Curtain and Piano Cover Piled Up
and Match Set TO
Them.

An attempt to burn the town hall at
Milan. made during last night presurn-
ably. has mystified the authorities oil
the village and of the county. There
Ia not the falntest clue to- the incen-
diaries.
That the building. which is one
story frame located on Dixon street.
was not destroyed is no fault or the
parties who started the fire. the flames
dying away because Of the absence OF
a draft.
The discovery was made this morn
ing by Michael Lane. the janitor. who
had not been To the hall since II
O'Clock Saturday morning. when ne saw
that all the doors and windows were
securely locked. This morning a win
dow on the east side Of the building
was found partly raised.
o. started On the stage.
The fire was set on the stage at the
rear Of the hall. the piano cover and
curtains having been piled on the floor
and a match applied to- them. These
were all consumed and there were
small holes burned in the floor and in
the roof.
The curtain vas down. and this is be-
lieved 10 have saved the building. for
the draft from the raised window would
have reached the fire had the curtain
been raised and the hall likely would
have been in flames and beyond the
power Of the people TO save it before
IL was discovered.
Motive Is Pulling.
The motive for the desire to destroy
the building is what is puzzling the
people of the village and the authori-
ties. and the investigation 50 far has
failed To reveal the remotest evidence
ON which to- work with a view to ap-
pretending the guilty parties.

SOME ADVICE.

If future days look black to you.
Disaster seems to heave in view,
Don't get cold feet:
Just smile and keep your wonted pace
Look all the world square in the face.
And maybe you may win the race,
Don't get cold feet.
If all the world looks bleak to you.
II moneys scarce and friends are few
Don't get cold feet.
Just drudge along the rugged way
And do your best from day to day,
An angel does no more. they say.
Don't get cold feet
II fate attempts to brighten you.
Just double up your two fists, too,
Don't get cold feet.
Go bristie up and show your grit,
Don't give an inch or back bit,
Show fist and muscle back of II.
Don't get cold feet.

SPIRIT OF Of
IS STILL ALIVE
Civil War Veterans March
for Hours in the Hot Sun
Through BOstOn'S Streets
Special Dispatch to The Call.

BOSTON, Aug. 16.-If anything were
needed to prove that the Grand Army
of the Republic is still in fact a mighty
host, il was to be found to-day, when,
with half a million civilians looking
on, &c, 900 survivors of the Union forces
of the Civil War assembled here from
all sections of the United States,
and marched through the streets Of
Boston. Five and one-half hours were
required for the parade to pass a given
point.
1t was a severe strain on the old
soldiers, but generally the veterans
bore the hardship WELL More than
three score of them dropped from the
ranks from exhaustion and heat pros
tration and were cared for at the hos
pitals. The death of one old soldier
marred the otherwise happy day. Cot
onel John P. Pyron, a member of John
A. Dix Post of New York, died from
heart failure induced by exhaustion. At
least 250 spectators, mostly women
tainted during the parade and many
persons were slightly injured and had
their clothing torn in the crush
The spectacle presented by the
marching gray-haired soldiers was one
calculated to thrill and everywhere the
army was received with applause.
AS the columns of blue swept UP
Beacon Hill, closely following the
1ortherly side of the famous Boston
Common they were reviewed from the
State House by Governor Bates, who
was accompanied by distinguished
personages. including Governor Van
SAINT of Minnesota, Former Governors
w. Murray Crane and George S. Bout
Ill
and Booker r. Washington.
At the City Hall Mayor Patrick A.
Collins reviewed the parade, having as
his guests the Mayors of a dozen cities
Among those who witnessed the pa
rade from fremont street was General
Nelson A. Miles.
At the end of the route Commander
in Chief John c. Black of the G.. A. r.
held his review. Several former Con-
stand and two thousand children joined
in Dixie" and the Battle Hymn or
the Republic"
Miss Emma Girard of Los Angeles,
Cal. and the Veteran Drum Corps.
headed the Department of California.
Miss Grard carried a huge unfurled
flag. She is a typical Western girl,
enthusiastic in her devotion to the
Grand Army of the Republic. She
N'tIilt all the way from the Pacific
Coast to carry Old Glory at the head
of the veterans of her State, of whom
she is justly proud.
An odd sight was presented by a
woman parading with the comrades of
Post 8, Department of Pennsylvania.
She was Mrs. May F. Patterson and
she marched by the side of her hus-
band, William. The Pattersons now
reside in California, but the husband
still maintains his membership in Post
and he and his wife were invited to
parade with that organization.
The departments of California and
Nevada marched together and in the
following order:
Department Commander c. T. Bliss.
Adjutant General John H Roberts
and his staff. A. Osgood, M. r..
Flint. j. A. Barrows, d. P. Chapman
and C. H. Dickey; George H. Thomas

Special Dispatch to The Call.

CHICAGO, Aug. 16.-The general de-
preston among the stockyards strikers
was acCentuated to-day by the funeral
of Mrs. Paul Klecka of 4S43 Center ave-
nue.. Headed by a union band, cor
tege of extraordinary length wended
its way through the district.
Mrs. Klecla and her husband were
both workers at the yard. After the
strike began the family was reduced
to destitution and five children were
sadly in need. The mother died on Sat-
urday
The strikers assisted in the funeral
arrangements, and when the procession
started for Concordia Cemetery to-day
it had the nature of a labor union
event. Crowds lined the streets, and
at the union headquarters the line halt
ed. Hundreds of butchers, with barred
heads, stood with tears rolling down
their faces. The funeral sobered the
crowds completely for time. and for
an hour or more the police found little
TO do.
The destitute children of Klecka will
be cared for by the union.

MAKES SERIOUS CHARGES.

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-According to
a statement made public to-day by H.
Fl. Abbott of the law firm of Breed,
Abbott & Morgan, attorneys for the
beef packing houses whose men are
on strike, carbolic acid and chloroform
have now come to the front as strike
weapons.
Abbott said that a few days ago a
beef van of the Schwarzschild & Sulz-
berger Company, with load of dressed
beef for a large Fourteenth street res
taurant, was attacked at Forty-first
street and First avenue. When the
meat reached it's destination it is al
legged it was found that the curtain at
the back of the wagon had been lifted
presumably during the attack, and
that somebody had thrown carbolic
acid and chloroforn over the meat
The meat thus made unfit for use was
worth about $3.50
