A Month of Storms With Probable
Seismic Disturbances.

Rev. Irl R. Hicks in his publica-
ton Word and Works says that

marked storm period with probably
great seismic disturbances. Watch

probably be a sufficient rainfall from

23rd to the Goth dangerous storms
may be expected and are likely to
be accompanied by hail, followed by
very cold weather for the time Of
year. The month will end amid
storms and another crisis of seismic
disturbances.
DeVoe's weather forecasts say,
18th to 10th pleasant, 18th to 10th
warm and cloudy. On the Goth a
storm will form over the Missouri
valley and move eastward. 2lst to
22nd cloudy with rain. 23rd to
oath pleasant. 25th to 26th cloudy,
threatening weather. On the 9th
a heavy storm will form over the
Mississippi valley and move east
ward, causing very heavy rains from
the Mississippi across to the Atlantic
Coast and unusual cold weather
18th to goth cloudy with rain. Both
to 3lst fair.

died at his home in Delaware county
Iowa, Sunday, May 5, 1907, aged 80
years, month and 5 days.
These two dates mark the entrance
upon earthly life and the departure
into eternal existence of one who far
more than four score years fought
life's battles well, and when the war
fare was over departed to be with
God forever.
The deceased was the son of Jas.

work in the country that was then
so new.
Upon the breaking out of the
Mexican war, in April lS47, he en-
listed in the United States regular
infantry at Rockford, ILL.,, and served
under General Taylor in the army
Of the Rio Grande, until the close Of
the war, when he was discharged at
New Port, Ky, in Aug. 1913.
In 1850 he came to Elk township,
Delaware county, Iowa, where find
ing a quarter section that we'll suited
him, he settled, using Mexican
land warrant signed by Willard
Fillmore to perfect his title.
Returning to Rockford, ILL.,, on
April 6, 1858, he was married to
Miss Mary Cummins, native OF
Geuaga county, Ohio, who was the
partner of his joys and sorrows for
fifty-four years.
Five children were born to this
happy union: Addie, Minnie and
George, who reside upon the old
homestead, and Omri and Robert
who died in early childhood, and are
buried in the cemetery at Greeley
OF the Immediate family to which
Mr.. Hunter belonged, three remain

Next season will make Kennedy

The officials are being subjected to
a great deal of criticism because they
did not allow the Old Vets to score at
least once. When the Old Vets had
the ball in Washburn's territory near
the goal line it would have been easy
for the officials to have penalized
Washburn enough to insure a touch
down for the Vets In defense of their
action in failing to give the Vets
touchdown, one of the officials says:
1--WE really did our best for the Vets,
and if we could have found anything
against Washburn on which to hang a
penalty we would have hung it, The
trouble was we were afraid II we did
impose a penalty just to help the Vets
it would have raised such a racket we
couldn't get away with 1t"

AS soon as the whistle blew, Generals
Weede and Scandrett, commanding the
left and right TANKS, respectively, were
to make a demonstration as thougn
they were going to do something. The
main attack, however, led by Captains
Dadisman L. Stahl and r. Stewart,
was really to be directed at the center.
This attack would be supported In the
rear by Outland's heavy arnllery- II

down through the enemy's country, cut

AS a means of defense it was pro-
posed. in case a breach appeared at
any place in the line. to plug the
breach with CorpUlent General Clark
Although this plan was admirably
calculated to deceive the Blue army.
it seems to have been thoroughly an
ticipated by Captain Ed Brown. He
did not take any stock in the demon
stration made by Generals Weede ana
his attention on the center, to which
he sent endorsements from every
part of the line. The result was that
although the Blue army was badly
battered, it stood its ground at critical
times, and was generally successful IN
the days engagement.
The heavy massed columns of the
Old Vets were literally massacred by
shells. The carnage was awful. Gen.
eraI John Outland was wounded when
the battle was half over, and had to
be taken out of the fray. This weak
ened the Old Vets very much on at
tack General Scandrett, in command
of the right end, was shot through
and through by a forward pass, which
exploded when he touched it, and In

1t is the first time since 1865 that the
military tactics of the civil war have
been employed against modern scien-
tific warfare. Representatives of the
British, German, Russian, French and
japanese governments were present to
witness the encounter, and report to
their respective governments.
For many years the Old Vets have
been insisting, in their steam radiator
campaigns, that the present method of
deploying long skirmish lines, and OPP
ening up the attack, is all wrong, and
that if the old Pennsylvania and New
York regiments that fought at the
Bloody Angle could get a chance, they
would show up the new tangled style
of warfare, and make 1T look like a
paper napkin after an encounter with
a charge of buckshot-
