: A Monument for Col. Co1yil1.

At the annual encampment of the
Minnesota G. A. r. in March, 1906. a
resolution was adopted asking the GOV
ernor to recommend to the legislature
an appropriation for the erection >of a
monument at Cannon Falls to mark the
resting place of Col. William Colvill.
The governor earnestly endorses the
request. In his message to the legisla.
ture he says in reference to this matter:
"Col. Colvill led the historic
charge Of the FIRST Minnesota at the
Battle of Gettysburg, and his valor
and the valor of those who followed
him constitutes a brilliant page in
the history of the Civil War.
Il heartily concur in the sugges-
ton OF the G.. A. r. that the state
make a sufficient appropriation by
which a suitable monument be
erected to perpetuate the memory
of his valorous Deeds"
As is we'll known, Col. Colvil was once
a resident of this county. It was in
honor of his name that the new town of
Golvill was named.

Curfew Tower and of Windsor parish
church pealed merrily today in cele-
bration of the fortieth birthday ami
versary of the Princess Royal (the
Duchess of Fife, who was born Feb
ruary 90, 1867 The anniversary was
further observed by the firing of a
salute in the Longwalk.
The Princess Royal has about recov-
cred her health after a long and seri-
Gus illness. Last September she I'M
derwent an operation as an outcome
of severe complications following a
chill. Her convalescence has been
very slow, though of late her progress
has been more satisfactory.
The Duke of Fife married Princess
Louise, eldest daughter of the then
Prince of Wales, in 1889. Two daugh-
ters have been born of the marriage
Alexandra Victoria Alberta. who is
now 16 years old, and Maud Alexan-
drina Victoria. who is two years
Younger. No heir has been born, and
in order to guard against the extinc-
ion of the title the duke has had let
ters patent for his nobility granted by
he crown, under which in the event
If there being no heir male. the title
shall pass first to the eldest daughter
md to her heirs male. and in the
event of the succession failing in that
branch of the family. then her sister
would be Duchess Of Fife, with right
o her male heirs.

IRON BRIGADE LEADER
EIGHTY YEARS OLD
WAS PAID SPLENDID TRIBUTE BY
HIS FELLOW ToWNsMEN TO-
pAY-soME HISTORY.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Fond Du Lac, Wis, Feb. 20.-The
fellow townsmen of Gen. Edward s
Bragg paid him splendid tribute today
on the occasion of his S0th birthday
The famous leader of the Iron Brig.
ade" was obliged to keep open house
throughout the day to receive the
scores of friends who called to offer
their congratulations in person. In
addition there came to the Little Cen
eral" veritable flood of good wishes
from old friends and admirers through
out the country.
Despite his four-score years General
Bragg is still active and full of energy
and continues to take lively interest
in all public questions of the day.
Since returning last summer from his
post as consul at Hong Kong he has
lived quietly at his home in this city.
Few men have given more varied
or distinguished services to their State
and country than has General Bragg
during the half century that has elaps
ed since che came to Wisconsin from
his native State of New York. He has
been conspicuous not only as a soldier
but as a lawyer, statesman and diplo-
mat
Distinguished as have been his SER
vices in congress, in the State legisla-
ture, as a diplomat, as lawyer, and
an orator, it is to his gallant leader
ship of the famous Iron Brigade"
that General Bragg chiefly owes his
fame.
He began his military career as q
captain of volunteers soon after Presi-
dent Lincoln's call for soldiers in the
spring of 1861. His regiment, the
Sixth Wisconsin, left for Washington
in the middle of the summer, and by
the time it had been whipped into
shape and was ready for real cam
paigning Captain Bragg had been pro
NOTED to the grade of lieutenant col
onel. He had command of the regi.
ment from Gainesville, Va, to Antie-
tam, Md. He led it in the charge up
South mountain, in which conflict the
brigade was given its memorable
name.
AT Antietam General Bragg was Sc
riously wounded and was sent home
to Fond du Lac to recover. He was
soon back in the field again and took
part in the battle of Fredericksburg.
After Charlottesville he was again
stricken down and taken to hos
pital in Washington. When the Get
tysburg campaign was commenced.
though utterly unfit for service, Cen
eral Bragg insisted upon going to the |
front, but did not reach Gettysburg in |
time to take part in the battle. II |
was the only great battle of the Iron |
