Thomas Baker. who also gave a de-
scription of the condition of the de-
partment and apparatus.

der. He would have the new truck
placed in the present fire house in
State street, and the old one in
North Amboy. He states that the
buildings renders the highest present
55-foot ladder inadequate. He also
calls attention to the possibility of
two fires at one time. There are a
! hook and ladder truck and hose
cart, he states. that could be put in
order cheaply which could be kept in
case of breakdowns to present APP
paratus.

fellow officers, and says the depart
ment is considered first class volun-
teer one.

Here from Morristown and Is Busi-
iy Engaged in Erecting Tents To-
day-Who the "Barkcrs' viii BE.

The Excelsior Carnival Company,
with its tents and attractions, ar
rived in town last night. Work was
commenced this morning to erect the
tents, stands, merry-g -go-round and the
many other attractions Which are
more plentiful than were seen at last
years exhibit here.
The location of the carnival has
been changed. 1t will not exhibit in
Maple street, near the federal build
ing, as had been planned. The tents
are being pitched in Smith street, just
west of public school No q. This
change was made by the local manag-
ing board after the former grounds
had been viewed by Manager Miller
who thought the first named place
was too rough and unfit for the pur-
pose.
The company arrived here from
Morristown, where they have been ex-
hibiting for the past week. The
moving was done with wagons all the
way.
There is much activity on the
grounds today. 1t is expected the
opening will take place tomorrow
night. The barkers and ticket sellers
from night to night will be local
business men and members of local
lodges as last year, and one night will
be given to the city officials to show
the people what they can do
This company netted a neat sum
for the hospitals benefit last year and
it is expected that, with favorable
weather conditions. this years pro-
ceeds will exceed those received then.
The women's auxiliary to the hos
pital board is in charge of the entire
affair and have had plans wen ar
ranged.
1t has been announced that the
governing board of the hospital and
the city officials will be in charge Of
the different tents and booths tomor-
row night, upon the opening occa-
sion. The fremen will be in charge
Thursday night. The other nights
have not yet been arranged.

like have increased 42.7, a greater in
creasesin this class Of employees than
in the wage earning class and also a
greater increase than in the capital
employed. "Were it possible, Mr..
Ghent says, "at this time to obtain
figures of bookkeepers, clerks, steno-
graphers, statesmen, packers, shippers,
draymen, boatmen, railway employees
and other miscellaneous groups OF this
class, rate of increase considerably
greater would no doubt be found.
This class as a whole increased by 4S.4
per cent from 1890 to 1900. All tend
encies indicate a higher rate of growth
for the last five years.
So much from Mr.. Ghent though he
is writing upon a different subject.
But would it not be we'll for legis-

Company "D" Memorial.

The Company sd" Memorial of the
First South Dakota Volunteer In
fantry presented the editor Of the
LEADER by First Sergeant Henry f..
Gerber of Worthing, is represented in
handsome Illuminated lithograph
which gives the names of each MEM
Der Of the company from Captain
VanHouten down. The company
roster shows SO men during service.
At the top of the record we find
war vessels at anchor and on the
right a acampscen with Company sd"
marching in review, and on the left
in heavy marching order, with
portraits of President Mckinley and
Admiral Dewey between under fig
ure Of Liberty holding flag and pre-
senting wounded soldier with a
wreath with an eagle rampant at the
feet Of Liberty.
The center Of the memorial con-
tains the names of all members of the
company and the center column is
headed with portraits of Col. Frost
and Lieutenant Col. Slower, and
underneath the names Of the officers
and non-comm issioned staff
The officers of the company at mus
ter out were: Captain VanHouten,
first lieutenant Dynna, second lieuten-
ant Patriquin, first sergeant Henry
F. Gerber, quartermaster sergeant
w. E. Greene, first corporal Olaf o.
Hilstad.
The memorial gives the names OF
those transferred, those who died and
of the wounded and discharged. At
the head of the list of wounded we
find the name of first sergeant Ernest
Madden who was disabled at the bat
tie of Marilao by Filipino bullet
that went through the body, striking
the arm first. 1t was during this
battle that Captain VanHouten per-
formed the wonderful and daring act
of carrying 200 pound cannon across

regiment. This tremendous effort on
the part OF VanHOuten caused his
death after coming home. 1t was
one OF the most brilliant feats during
the Philippine war. The First South
Dakota was short OF ammunition and
hard pressed by a superior force with
river cutting off retreat. In this
serious condition Captain VanHOuten
crossed the half destroyed bridge and
shouldered cannon belonging to the
First Colorado and recrossed, with
others bringing the gun mount and
caisson.
First sergeant Madden was consid-
cred as good as dead, but he made up
his mind that no Filipino bullet
could kill him. He was sent to the
hospital on March 9th and was dis
charged August 18th Of the same
year. Sergeant Madden is now a res
ident of Worthing. He was succeed
ed by Henry f. Gerber, and Mr.. Ger
ber discharged the duties with great
ability. He is also a resident of
Worthing where the company was or
ganized.
To the left of the company roster is
a scene every soldier remembers bid
ding good bye to loved ones. On the
right is another scene-the return
home and fond embrace of her he
loves best.
At the bottom OF the memorial is .
record of tho engagements and Inn
portant events during the life OF the
regiment with portraits OF all the
generals engaged in the Philippine
war.
The editor of the LEADER takes
special pride in the history Of comp
any 3D." because it was thro ugh his
efforts that the company was organ
lied as militia company. When
the Canton militia company disband-
ed, the editor Of the LEADER started
Ludwig Dynna out to Worthing
on his wheel to see Clayton Van
Houten, and ask him to immedi-
ately take the necessary steps to or
ganize a company and that would
arrange for it's muster into service in
place of the Canton company. Mr.
Dynna returned the next day, as he
was working in the LEADER office at
the time, and reported that Mr..
VanHouten got 16 recruits for the
new company the first night, and
that was the beginning of company
3D." as fine a lot Of boys as Uncle
San, had in the service.
