WHEELING, Aug. 13.-The Spanish
war veterans last evening held a rath
er largely attended session at the
Board Of Trade, despite the excel
lngly hot weather and plans for theil
reunion on August 20, 20 and sou
we're discussed. Captain A. A. Franz
helm presided and during the evening
Col Zeise, of the Society of the Army
Of West Virginia, addressed the young

clety reunion which occur on the fail

for a big reunion Of the veterans, and
at this session an Organization will be
formed that it is hoped will perpetuate
the idea of holding annual reunions
The parade is one of the features
that is interesting the Spanish war vet

the only change made is in the roll

Cora Wheeler again goes to the head

the honors for only a single day.

changes are expected by that time if

Evansville has been very active and
40 new subscribers have come in from
there and Bellviev alone. The result
has been that Mr. j. ]. Bremen, Of
the Evansville shaft, and Alex Thorn,
representing the railroad vote, has
been at the head Of the list for some
