OBJECTION TO WIRz MONUMENT
Counter Proposal 10 Erect One In
New Orleans to General
Ben Butler.

Garfield circle, No. II, Ladies OF the
Grand Army of the Republic, passed these
resolutions Friday evening at a meeting
held in Barights hail:
Whereas, One of the southern branches
OF the Daughters OF the Confederacy has
announced ats determination to proceed
with the erection OF a monument to the in
famous Captain Henry Wirz, the command
ant of Andersonville prison pen during the
civil war, and whose cruelties and nhu-
manity caused the death OF many thou.
sands of union soldiers who were confined
and,
Whereas, The Dsughters of the Confed-
eracy seek by such a monument to eXtol
the virtues OF the said Captain Wir1 as a
man of humanitarian instincts, and who
characterize his execution for his causeless
atrocities as judicial murder; and,
whereas, The various patriotic women {
societies Of the north, representing the
mothers, wives, sisters, daughters and
other relatives Of the union army, have
protested against the erection of this pro-
posed monument to Captain Wirz at OF
near the National cemetery at Anderson
Nillel Ga, and that the Daughters of the
Confederacy have persistently ignored
these protests; therefore. be II
Resolved, That We, the members of Gar
field circle No IL, Ladies OF the Grand
Army OF the Republic, Department of Ne
braska, do recommend to the patriotic
women's societies of the north that steps
be az once taken TO raise funds for The
General Benjamin F. Butler the pacifi-
Gator OF New Orleans, during the civil war
ana that the monument be erected in the
city OF New Orleans.
Resolved, That this recommendation for
monument TO General Butler Is not done
IN spirit of malice or retaliation, but
that inasmuch as no monument has vel
been erected to General Butter, and that in
his administration OF affairs at New Or
leans during the civil war he compelled q
decent respect to be shown to the soldiers
or the union army by all classes in that
city and by his vigorous policy In prevent
ing further Insult and Indecent treatment
OF the union soldiery, and I'm compelling a
strict observance Of respect 10 the stars
and stripes, he was unJustly excoriated and
traduced and denounced In unmeasured
and Incorporate terms as a beast and
which terms are to this day applied TO hiTn
by people OF the south. for no lust reason
or cause. And. be Il further
Resolved, That out OF difference to the un-
reconcilable prejudice that has exist ID
against this patriotic General b. f. But
Ter, that the loyal women OF the north have
refrained from asking this tardy recogns-
tiOn of the patriotic services OF General
Butler, but as this reciprocity OF sentiment
does not seem TO prevail in certain branches
Of the Daughters OF the Confederacy, we
believe there Is no further reason why the
memory OF General Butler should longer
be held Ia oblivion IN difference 10 the ir-
reconcilable sentiment prevailing against
him In the Daughters OF the confederacy.

PLAIN TRUTH
From Thirty Years. Experience

The plain truth from simple, honest
folks, is the very best testimony anyone
can ask. Here's what a New Hampshire
man says about coffee:
"As have had thirty years experience
with coffee and~its effects, l may be per-
mitted to say something pertinent to the
subject.
MY appetite began to fail. food disturbed
my stomach. bowels became badly con-
stipated, was restless, sleep so greatly dis
turbed dreaded TO so to bed,
My stomach got so bad l could not eat
anything for supper but milk and a
cracker. In the evening | would be so
thirsty nothing would satisfy me but a cup
Of strong, cold coffee.
Coffee was my invariabe drink for
breakfast, with a doughnut or piece Of
toast. l was ali the time consulting the
doctor, taking digestive preparations TO
help the stomach. and cathartics to move
the bowels, frequently having attacks of
terrible pain in the bowels which would
necessitste calling the doctor
After many years Of this, became CON
vinced that something must be done.
AT last / got hold Of Postum and began
using II in place of coffee and have con-
tinued to use II daily for the past six
years. The Improvement was gradual. but
sure. For the system requires time to re-
cover from the damage done by coffee and
feel the fun benefits Of Postum.
Improvement has continued from the
very first. to the present. Digestion grew
better. bowels became regular, and at bed
time l now anticipate a good nights sleep
with pleasure.
The change from coffee to Postum has
made wonderful change in my condition
1t could not be expected that a man 81,
with a two-year and ten months service
in the army, could be-made young again
But ! do honestly believe ! state the plain
truth when / say that II had not changed
from coffee to Postum should have been
by this time, helpless invalid. II alive"
