of his state and the Southland, General
John B. Gordon, soldier, statesman and

In the procession that escorted the
remains of the famous cavalry leader
to their last resting place was a bat
talon of the Sixteenth infantry, U. S.
A, Colonel Butler D. Price, now sta
toned at Fit. Mcpherson, Ga, and
nearly every foot of ground traversed
by the long line OF troops and carriages
on its way from the church to Oakland
cemetery was of the highest historic
interest.
The memorial exercises which were
conducted at the state capitol were at
tended by thousands. A salute of II
guns was fired during the day, the
courts and schools were closed and
many of the business places suspended
during the hour OF the funeral The
memorial exercises were begun at 10
ernor Terfill. Among the speakers
were General Stephen D. Lee, COM
mander-in-cIief of the U. c. v; Gen
eral Clement A. Evans, commander of
the department of Tennessee U. c. v;
Governor Hayward of South Carolina,
Governor Jennings of Florida. General
Bennett H. Young, of Kentucky and
John Temple Graves, of Georgia.
Following the memorial exercises
which were concluded at noon, the re-
mains were carried across the street to
the Central Presbyterian church, where
the services were conducted. These
were of the simplest order.
During the funeral the different or
CARNATIONS of military veterans and
civic boards were formed outside the
church. Five thousand men were in
line. The services at the cemetery were
simple, consisting of a salute by COM
panies and the sounding of taps. The
casxet was placed in a vault.

Food That Carries One Along.

It's nice to know of food that not only
tastes delicious but that puts the snap
and go into one and supplies staying
power for the day.
A woman says: Il have taken enough
medicine in nv time to furnish a drug
store, but in later and wiser years I
have taken none but have depended, for
the health I now enjoy, on suitable and

hand a tested variety, plain but nour-

''Of these my main dependence is

DATE FOR CITY PRIMARY.
It Will Probably Be Left to the
Candidates.

1t will probably be left principally to
the candidates whose names will go
before the Republican city primaries to
decide what the date of the primary
shall be. A short meeting of the execu-
tive committee Of the Republican city
central committee was held in Frank
Snyder's office at the city building yes
terday afternoon to decide on a time for
the first committee meeting of the
spring campaign. That meeting will be
held at 1880 o'clock Monday evening,
January IS, at the Old Court House. AS
most of the candidates will attend this
meeting, out of curiosity to know what
the committee will do, it was decided to
give them an opportunity of expressing
themselves about the date of the pri-
marieS.
up against a proposition of meeting the
expense of this years campaign with
no resources. It cost about $500 for
last years primaries when there were
candidates to nominate for every city
office. This year only members of the
city council and the school board are
to elect, but the expense will be about
the same unless the committee makes a
radical change in the manner of con-
Quoting the primaries The suggestion
was made that the committee order a
delegate convention and nominate del
egates in ward caucuses. This is the
system followed by the Topeka Demo-
Gratis. AS a result, in the case of the
Democrats, most of the nominations
are finally made by the Democratic
city central committee and a very
small machine runs all the Democratic
politics of the town. The suggestion
will not stand before the Republican
committee.
Two years ago it cost candidates for
the council about $40 apiece to get
elected while members of the school
board who receive no salary, were as
sessed SO each
Chairman Page said yesterday: Eve
will have to cut down the assessments
on candidates or we won't be able to
get anybody to run
Mr.. Pages statement is probably cor
rect. It has been suggested that the
county primaries on February 81 The
principal objection raised to this is
that the necessity of having additional
ballot boxes for the women might over
work the precinct boards. This sugges-
ton will be taken I'D again at the CEN
trail committee meeting next Monday
night.
In the past the city central committee
has been in the habit of paying judges
and clerks on each precinct board
dollar apiece besides furnishing booths
for the Australian ballot system of vot-
ing and hiring buildings that cost from
81 to 50 in each precinct. Meals have
been furnished where the boards work
ed all day. This is what piled up the
expense for last years primaries.
The committee is thinking, this year,
of following the plan used by the state
committee for raising campaign funds,
and assessing a small amount on all
the city employees and officers who hold
over until next year. In addition to
this the committee will cut out most of
the expense for hiring polling places
