Never Again Such a War.
.srhe human race will probably never
again witness such war, with nearly five
million free and enlightened citizens-the
flower of American manhood-engaged in
deadly strife covering a period of four
years and entailing a loss of nearly 100000
killed. and resulting in such widespread de-
struction and suffering and the expenditure
of billions of treasure.
The marvel of the civil war rests not so
much in It's magnitude as In the quality OF
the men who thus freely offered up their
lives on the altar of their country. They
were not mere soldiers, as the term Is gem
orally understood, In History. The Union
army was made up of the American volun-
teer, and he stands apart in a. class en-
tirely by himself He Is the citizen soldier.
who only lays down the implements OF
peace and takes up the weapons OF war
when his country is in peril. The Union
army was made up Of men who forsook
THAR happy homes and their peaceful pur-
suits in the trades and professions. and
marched to the front in defense of the flag
and the principles of freedom and peace.

Mr.. Seeds. after paying tribute to the
valor and patriotism of the Union dead, ad-
dressed himself to the conservation Of the
nobler results of the civil conflict, ana con-
cluded as follows:
THE thought which I would press home
on this audience is that we are not bound
by the experiences of the past except in so
far as those experiences are prophetic OF
better and nobler things yet to be accom-
lessly bemoaning over his defeats is only
surpassed in weakness by the man who
wastes his time In glorying over his yicto-
ries. Both defeat and victory are useful
only as inspirations and urgings forward to
better things. AS a nation our destiny Is
pressing now with terrible force and effect
iyeness Our controversies up to the war
were constitutional and governmental; now
our problems are social They go to the
very essence of our life as a people. Is 1t
possible for true democracy to exist at
all? About the issues of labor and capital,
the relations of races. the influx of alien
peoples the large accumulations of wealth
by the few is to be waged far more re-
lentless war. though we trust less bloody,
than the one you were engaged in.
How shall we as individuals deport our
selves? 1t will require the courage. the de-
votion to duty, the fearless despising of per-
sonai consequences which you exhibited.
But we believe that the descendants OF the
blue and the gray will not be recreant to
the obligations of their privileges. and that
they will measure UP to the heights which
the valor of the past has made possible
Address by Judge Wright.
In his address Judge Wright said in part:
II was born in what was then frontier
country nearly eighty years ago, and my
life has been cast In one of the most inter
esting and eventful periods of the history of
this or any other country. Before the
echoes of the war of the revolution and of
the war of 1872 had died away l saw old
men on wooden legs and erutches who had
participated In the battles of Yorktown and
New Orleans. and l saw my father, who
had been an officer in the regular army I'M

mother and his children, mount his horse
and go to join the army, which, under Gen.
Scott, marched from Vera Cruz to the halls
of the Montezumas, and i witnessed his re-
turn after the war was over, when he was
received and welcomed by the hundreds of
people who lived around him. In my early

As the inhabitants Of the zone are constantly moving it was impossible to enumerate all of them and 1t is estimated that the number missed is total up to 27,137 In addition to this the officials point out there should be q liberal allowance. probably ten per cent, made for persons who live just outside the zone but are employees of the commission and to all purposes are residents of the strip controlled by the United States.

After record breaking run in


 After record breaking run in conducting q lot drawing or auc- ton sale, the last of the l061 ap- plications and the deed to the lot Tn Woodland addition 1t secured were plnned together and placed in the hands of the recording clerks before s o'clock yesterday evening. The time consumed m the actual drawing of the l06l lots was six hours.
 Of course every lot purchaser had the nope that he might be the lucky one to get the Hotel Mena properly and all but one was necessarily disappointed But outside of this the only com piaint heard over the dra wing was when a New Orleans party made the charge immediately after the drawing that one of the big pr ze lots, No. 10 in block So next to the Mena hotel, had not been drawn. This caused con- siderable commotion for a few minutes until 1t came to the ears of the man lgement after the dra wing and an examination of the deeds wasmade showing that the lot had been drawn and by Dr. A. J. Meyer Of Thibodaux, La. Dr, Meyer, who was here at tending the sale, IS very fine man ard quite wealthy. He was not aware of his good fortune as Mir. George Beaumont, one of the New Orleans party, who was call- ing out the numbers on the deeds, when this one came out omitted to state that 1t was in the busi ness portion of the city and MT Meyers thought be had simply drawn lot 10. block 30 in the Woodland addition.
 After the drawing there was a great rush by the parties iu ar rang ing to have their deeds re- corded and many left on the night trains for their respective homes. Others stayed over until today and spent time in looking over the city and locating their lots. In this connection there was some complaint by parties who found 1t hard to locate the lot stakes. Taking 1t all the way through, however, the sale was absolutely free from any serious unpleasantness. A Star reporter talked with many of the visitors and there was not a man found who stated that anythin 2 had been misreseated to him by NJ Manager Hines or any nem Der of the company. They were de lighted with Mena, the climate. water aud mountain scenery, be lieviug that they have acquired prop rty of good value in many instances and go away as tax payers with an interest in the future of the city.

BL0ODHOUNDS FOR MHNA.
A. MgaiiIIan Shipped in Some Cuban
 Redbone Man Hunters.

A. NcMiAau the efficient nig ht marshal for the South side, re- ceived fWednesda y a.pair of Cuban Redbone bloodhounds and black aud tan hound from San Antonio, Tex. All three of .he dogs are trained man hunters.
 MT. McMillan purchased the pair of Cuban hounds from J. c. Van Rub, for 30 years breeder of bloodhounds, and paid S200 for the pair. The other deg was sent to MT. McMillan as gift. The Cuban hounds are fine look ing young dogs, the female 1 year old and the male IA months old. They are not so large or
 eavily built as the English bloodhound but are the same breed of dog used years ago for running negro slaves and are sometimes called the nigger dog.
 In speaking of his purchase Mr. McMillian said that as night marshal in the first ward there has been several times when If there had been trained man hunt ing dogs at hand he could easily have caught burglars who broke into South side stores. This Is especially true he says of the Sales robbery and one of the robberies at Watkins Bros. MT. McMillan believes, and in this he undoubtedly correct, that tke mere fact becoming generally known of there being pair of we'll trained bloodhounds in the city will have strong tendency 10 lessen house breaking and other crimes, and be of great value to the community.
 While Mir. McMillan has made no such requestit would be no more than right for the citizens, especially the business men, to put up some of the money for the purchase of the dogs. In case any do this Mr. McMillan states that when crime is committee q in which contributor is interest ed the use of his dogs, if needed, will be free.
 No attempt has been made to try the dogs and none will be made until they get good rest and well acquainted with their new master.
 These are the only bloodhounds in this portion of the state.
