WILL HONOR Custer
MONROE, MICH, TO ERECT MoNU.
MENT TO ITS SOLDIER HERO.
Famous Cavalry Leader Was Born
in Ohio, But Always Regarded
Wolverine Village as His
Home.

Monroe, Mich.-Though he was per
haps the most famous soldier who
has ever called Michigan his home,
there is as yet, 81 years after his
death, no memorial within the bOr-
ders of the state to Gen. George A.
Custer.
To remedy this the citizens OF Mon
roe are now agitating the erection of
a handsome monument to this dash
ing caValryman who, from his later
boyhoOd, always looked upon Monroe
as his home.
Though Gen. Custer was born IN
Ohio and though his parents contin-
ued to live there, with the exception
of one year, Custer himself went to
school at Monroe and spent much Of
his time there with his sister, Mrs
Reed, who had married a Monroe
man
His appointment to the military
academy at West Point was given
him by an Ohio congressman, but it
was always to Monroe that he re
turned for his furlOughs during his
academy course as we'll as on his
later leaves Of absence during the
war. There he was married to Miss
Libbie Bacon. daughter of Judge Ba-
con, one of the most prominent of
the towns citizens, and there was the
sorrow greatest when the dread news
came on that Fourth of July of cen
Of hyr
the Sioux under Sitting Bull of the
gallant general and his whole COM
mand of the Seventh cavalry on the
Little Big Horn in Montana, eight
days previous.
Since that day the federal govern
ment has made the site of the last
battle" a national park, marked the
route Of the Seventies last march,
and erected a handsome monument on
the site where Custer himself fell
But Michigan, on whose name he
shed luster by his command of the
Michigan brigade during 1853 and
1864, has done nothing toward pro
viding a memorial to his deeds.
1t was Custer and his Michigan
brigade that during the civil war
restored the cavalry arms to the place
1t had occupied in the days of NapO-
leon, when the dashing cavalry
charges at Murat were an important
factor in almost every battle.
Appointed brigadier general when
but two years out of West Point for
gallantry in small actions as an Of
ficer on the staff of Gen. PleasantOn,
commanding the cavalry corps of the
Army Of the Potomac, Custer was as
signed to the Michigan brigade"
composed Of the First, Fifth. Sixth
and Seventh Michigan regiments of
cavalry. At this time the cavalry
was rather looked down upon by the
other branches of the service, but
the tactics of Custer and his mich
igan boys soon changed all this. In
stead OF depending upon the carbine.
as the cavalry had done in the civil |
war up TO that time, Custer placed |
his trust in the saber and in the eff |
cheney Of the sweeping mounted |
charge to dismay his enemy. That |
the cavalry came to be looked upon !
as an effective force from that time /
on was due as much to Custer and |
his actions as to any other single in
huence.
For year he commanded the
Michigan brigade and then was ad-

This time he found her in. So

sAcRED HORNS.
The Queer Adjournment of a Peculiar
Chinese Pcope.


Adjoining the Chinese prefecture
of Chienchang is "a deep gully
barred by river which no China
man is permitted to pass until he
finds bail for his good conduct in
Lolodom.
The Lolos are a slim, well made,
muscular race, with oval reddish
brown faces, high cheek bones and
pointed chins, from which the beard
has been carefully plucked. They
are far taller than the Chinese and
indeed than any European race, but
their marked popularity is the horn
Every male adult gathers his hair in
a knot over his forehead and then
twists it up in a cotton cloth so
that it resembles the horn of a uni
corn.
The horn is considered sacred,
and even If a Lolo settles in Chinese
territory and grows a pigtail he still
preserves his horn. The 1olo
mans principal garment is a wide
sleeveless mantle of red or black
felt tied about the neck and de-
scending almost to the heels. The
trousers are Of Chinese cotton with
felt bandages. No shoes are worn,
but conical hat of woven bamboo
covered with felt furnishes head
covering as well as an umbrella.
The Chinese divide the Lolos into
two classes, which they call respec-
lively 'sblack bones" and "white
bones," the first being the mobiles
and the latter their vassals and re-.
tanners. There is also a third class
of captive Chinese and their de-
scendants, called "watzu," practical.
ly slaves, who are tattooed on the
forehead with the mark of their
tribe.
The Lolos never marry except in
their own tribes, captive Chinese
women being given to their bonds
men. The marriage of a S'black
bone" is time of great festivities
and many banquets. The betrothal
is celebrated and ratified by the
present of the husband to the
brides family of a pig and three
vessels of wine.
On the wedding morn the bride is
richly dressed with many orna-
ments. She is expected TO weep
profusely, whether she feels so in
clined or not. In the midst of her
tears the groom's relatives and
friends dash in, seize the bride, the
best man carries her out of doors
on his shoulders, she is clapped on q
horse and hurried off to her new
home. Here she finds horses, cat
tie and sheep, provided by the
groom's family. while her own peo-
pie send clothes, ornaments and
corn. Women occupy high posi-
ton among the Lolos, and woman
chief is not unknown among the
tribes.-New York Herald.

tIAY OUTLOOK NOT HOPEFUL.
Reports Indicate That It Will Make
an Eighty Per Cent Crop.


Des Moines, Aug. Detailed re-
ports to j. r. Sage Of the Iowa crop
bureau indicate that the hay crop,
which is practically harvested, will to-
tai about 80 per cent of a crop. This
is the estimate as sent down by re-
porters in northern counties. Re-
porters in the southern section of the
state make no percentage estimate but
state that the crop is lighter than
usual because of damage by storms
and weather.
The potato crop is a severe sufferer
in southern Iowa because of the tre-
mendous rainfalls. In Montgomery
county the "spuds" are reported as
rot.ing in the ground.
The onion crop is winner. In
Iowa county where the yield in onions
is sufficiently large to be counted sta
pie, reports from Amana say that the
output is large and of excellent quail
ity. The onion crop in that section
is now harvested.
Cats in northeastern Iowa are maxi
ing about so per cent of a crop, the
reports say. But in other sections,
the output will be very satisfactory.
The usual cry for farm hands Is
ringing out. In Cherokee county, the
crop reporter declares that the scare

and oats harvesting seriously
