By Fanny Crosby.

A+s.44&l When the bugle call resounded On that ne'er forgotten day, When the soldiers of our city
 With their banners marched away; How with honest pride she watched As they waved their stripes and
 Stars And she breatlred a benediction Ger the loyal G. A. R.'s. Some at Gettysburg have perished, Some at Chattanooga sleep, Some in graves unknown are lying, But the Lord their dust will keep; Others to their homes returning Told of conflicts wild and dark, And their names have rendered sacred Mountain Grove and Seaside Park. Few the, veterans that are left us, Flew, but dear to every heart; Bravely have they served their coun- - try, ,,s s;, ....
 Bravely have they borne their part, Rally round them, do it quickly,
 Theysar weak and feeble now, And the frost of age is leaving @ Traces on each furrowed brow. Of the, public we are asking, aForha Grand Memorial Hall Where united they may gather fl And their battle scenes recall. Where their victor songs may echo " At the setting of the sun And their. souvenirs remind them
 Of the triumphs they have won. This may be our last petition,
 Bid their hearts with rapture thrill, To the fair our Post has opened,.--. You will come, we know you will. Generous friends of Bridgeport city, Friends who love the Stripes and

 Aid the cause of right and justice,
 Rally round the G. A. R.'s.

A REWARD OF $500.
Leavenworth Police Think They Have
Made a Good Capture.

Leavenworth, Kan, Sept. 2S.-After
being sought by his wealthy New
York parents for nearly two months. it
is the opinion of the local police, that
they now have in jail the much wanted
lad of 16 years for whom a reward of
81 800 has been offered. The boy, who
for present purposes may be known by
the name he gave the police. Henry
Geary, was taken in Cherokee street
resort in company with a soldier last
night shortly after o'clock by Officer
Evans of the local police force. He.
if he proves to be the right lad, will
mean the above mentioned sum to the
officer.
Some time late in July the 16 or Il
years old son of a wealthy New York
family disappeared from home and, at
the time it was stated, he had craze
to be a soldier and follow up the army.
This is one of the reasons which leads
the police to believe that Evans has
caught the wanted boy. He was work
ing at the Post as hostler to an officer
and was in uniform when captured.
He denied all. knowledge @f any con-
nections in New York such as broached
by the police.

Drummer BACK AGAIN.

Lawrence, Kan, Sept. 2S.-Pros-
poets are looking brighter in the Jay
hawkers' headquarters. The squad
was gratified at seeing Brunner walk
on the field after having absented him.
self from the training table and prac-
tice for several days. The board bill
which was brought up against him
from last year has been paid by Brun-
ner and his work will go on as usual.
The big tackle stated to the manager
that he had not wanted to quit, but on
account of his fathers feeling toward
football he was unable to get the
money from home to meet the unpaid
bill. He received the money yesterday
and paid up.
The return of Drummer to the team
will make one of the strongest lines
ON defense that Kansas has ever had.
Burt and Pingry demonstrated in the
game with William Jewell that they
were on hand whenever needed, and
Root has been doing excellent scrim-
mage work. These three new line
men will be held in reserve.
The next varsity game will probably
be with Campbell university of Holton,
on Friday, at McCook field. If this
team is scheduled, the chances will be
largely in favor of Kansas university.
with excellent opportunity for sub
stitute work and practice at all points
of the game.

MISS CREIGHiroN's ROMANCE
Leavenworth Girl Slips Away to Ore
gon to Marry.

Leavenworth, Kan, Sept 2s-The
Times says:
A summer f1irtation in Portland last
year resulted in Miss Alice Creighton
leaving her home a week ago Friday,
ostensibly to work in a millinery store
in Kansas City, but letter received
here yesterday discloses the fact that
she went instead to Portland, where
she married her acquaintance of last
summer.
Neighbors of the Creightons had
more to say regarding the marriage
and slowly the story was pieced to-
gether.
A week ago last Friday Miss Creigh-
ton went to the train, telling her fos-
ter parents and young man to whom
it was popularity supposed that she
was engaged, that she was going to
Kansas City to accept position there.
Reaching that point, she boarded the
first train for Portland, and safe in the
oregon city, she was married to the
man she met last summer while on
visit to Portland. Neighbors weave
still a little more romance into the tale
by saying that in the letter bearing
the news of her marriage, Miss Creigh-s
ton placed two roses, red blossom and
white, though what bearing upon the
incident this has is not known, and
Mrs. Creighton would not say.

Dan Duffin of rural route No. 5, is the
youngest person in Leagenworth coun-
ty to go to the high school with a d.
ploraa from a county school and seek
admission. But the immature age of
the applicant together with the fact
that he unfortunately, had not studied
algebra for one-half year, kept him
from gaining admission. The boy is one
of the brightest in the county for his
age and Prof. Kendrick regretted very
much not being able to permit him TO
continue his course. The average age
of Freshmen in the high school is 15
years.

county school district No. 8, last year,
and received his diploma granting him
entrance to the high school here. He
