Union Veteran Legion.
Snecial Dispatch to Ercnlnr CanitnI

Wilmington, Del, Sept 12.-The
national encampment of the Union
Veteran Legion opened here this morn
ing. Owing TO the fact that many of
the Veterans had gone TO Denver, Col.
to attend the national encampment of
the Grand Army of the Republic and
had not yet returned, the attendance
at the opening was not as large as was
expected, but it is hoped that many
of the Eastern delegates viii return
from Denver in time to arrive here
tomorrow or the day after. The date
for the parade has not yet been def.
nitely set, as the officials desire to
make good showing and want t.
wait until additional members arrive.
Tomorrow reception and smoker will
be given to the delegates by the off,
GERS and men of the FIRST Regiment,
n. G. ID. 1t will be held at the ar
mory, which has been beautifully dec.
Grated for the occason. The city is
in holiday attire and the hotels are
crowded with delegates from all parts
of the country.

Fulton's Bi Trees.

Dear Editor. i have read with

tits my desire to know the
name of the largest tree grown
in the county-whatever the spe-
cies. A Swamp oak is a large
tree at the circumference, but
the Black oak (Quercus valutina),
the Scarlet oak (Quercus coccin
cay, and the White oak (Quercus
alba)-all grow larger than the
Swamp oak. Now, I am aware
that Fulton county contains many
of the latter named oaks, and I
would be pleased to have some re-
port Of them. Then, there is the
Chestnut (Castanea dentata), a
large grower, and the Black wal
nut (Juglaus nigra), and, perhaps,
the Tulip tree, often called White
wood, and Yellow poplar GGirio-
dendron tulipifera), and the But
tonwood or Sycamore (Platanus
occidentalis). OF course, you
have hickory, ash, mulberry, ma
pie, etc, etc, but none of these
grow into great trees, except,
perhaps, the White ash (Fraxinus
americana), several OF which l

that we should make the last few
months more interesting so as to
awaken q new interest in the pu-
pills and not let the school work
become monotonous.
A great responsibility lies up
on the superintendent, school
directors, teachers and patrons,
as to the way the school is con-
Quoted.
Teachers present were: Prof.

STRANGLED HIMSELF.
Glenn BechteI Commits Suicide in Ne
braska Hotel.

A clipping from western news
paper vas received by Mr.. Aaron
Richards last Friday, which
stated that Mr.. NJ. Glenn Bechtel
had killed himself In a room at a
hotel in Schuyler, Nebraska on
the morning of the LIST inst.
Glenn Bechtel was a former
resident of Webster Mills, son
of John Bechtel, the miller, and
brother of Mrs. Ephraim Houck
of the Cove, and Mrs. Rebecca
Snyder of this place. The clip
ping says.
Mr.. Bechel was serving as a
juror in district court at Schuy-
Ter in libel suit. When court
adjourned Tuesday evening he
appeared all right, was jolly as
usual, and he was generally of a
jolly nature. He went to a hotel
for the night, but did not report
for duty next morning at the tune
of opening court. The hotel was
called up and said Mr.. Bechtel
had not come down. They went
to the room and were Mortified to
ind hlm dead.
it seems that the act was de-
liberate. The bed had apparent
ly been occupied all night, and
physicians who examined the
body were of the opinion that he
had committed the deed about 6.
o'clock. 1t Was about $3.50 when
he was found. Two towels were
used, tied around his neck and to
the bed post, and thus he strang.
led himself to death.
M. G.. Bechtel was we'll and fav-
ora bly, known here, having lived
in the Glencoe ueighborhood for
years before gong to farm near
Howells. Mrs. Bechtel is a SIS
ter to j. FL. and d. w. Montgom-
cry. The report was terrible
surprise to all who knew him and
could hardly be credited for a
time.
Bechtel was of a cheerful dis
position and no cause is known
for the rash act. A few days ago
he had a sale and disposed OF his
property, and moved to Howells
where he had bought home. The
body was brought here last night
and the funeral will be held from
the home of d. w. Montgomery,
conducted by Rev. M. B. Harri-
son of Scrlbner. Burial Will take
place at Glencoe to-day.
This is sad case indeed and
the wife ard two children, a son
and daughter, have the sympathy
of all IN their sudden loss of hus-
band and father.
Mr.. Bechtel was in Dodge a
few days ago and did not have
the appearance of mani contem-
plating suicide.
