Colorado Springs.-In the presence
| of hundreds. the bronze memorial tab.
let presented to Colorado College in
honor of the late Gen. William ].
Palmer by the survivors of his regi-
ment, the Fifteenth Pennsylvania cav.
airy, was formally unveiled Wednes-
day noon at Palmer hall of the col
lege, where it has been installed
Grizzled veterans of the Civil war,
college students and faculty and prom
inent citizens of Colorado Springs
were present.
The presentation speech was by
Maj. Henry McAllister, in behalf of
the donors, and Pres. w. F. Slocum
of Colorado College, responded.
The tablet, which was covered with
the flag given to the college by the
late general, was formally unveiled
by Miss Genevra McCaw, Miss Janet
Kampf and H. W. McQuat, all of the
senior class.
Maj. McAllister in his presentation
address, said in part:
Il am sure that upon none save the
the death of Gen. William j. Palmer
fall with greater weight of sorrow
than upon his old comrades-in-armS of
the Fifteenth Pennsylvania Cavalry.
Each one of it's surviving members
felt that he had sustained a severe
personal bereavement. Each of them
felt that the strongest link in the
great chain of eternal order that con-
nected him with a memorable and
glorious past had been broken each
was brought anew face to face with a
realizing sense of the stern certainty
that in few, a very few years, all
those who took an active part in the
work of those tremendous days Of
1S61-65, when a man could live a life
time every twenty-four hours, will see
the last of earth.
THE members of General Palmers
regiment never looked upon the gen
eral in the light in which he was
viewed by those whose acquaintance
with him originated after the
war. They did not think of him
as the capitalist, the great man of
business, the philanthropist. To them
he was still their dashing and gallant
colonel. They pictured him in their
minds during the past forty odd years
as they saw him during the war, rush
ing along with unexampled celerity
over the mountains, across the rivers
and through the corn and cotton
fields of ten great states.
After General Palmer's death the
survivors of his regiment, whose
names are attached to this memorial
tablet, after some thought as to what
should best be done to give physical
expression to their love and reverence
for their dead colonel. concluded to
prepare tablet to his memory.
There could be no controversy over
the location. Where could there be
a more suitable place than in Palmer
hall-this fine building that bears his
name--of Colorado College, for the
| foundation Of which he cast the first
spadeful of earth. and which has been
the recipient of his mainy munificent
! gifts for its support and future
| growth.
THE pent-up feeling of that old regi
ment goes out today in the inscription
upon the tablet you dedicate: In low
ing remembrance of Gen. William j
| Palmer"

The semi-iubilee OF Canada's great
Eastern exhibition will he celebrated this
year from the 28th of August to the 4th
of September. II will be observed in a
fitting manner by the management put
ting up one OF the best shows vet held in
the.past twenty-five years. The past rec
ord o. this fair is a most creditable one.
II has followed the example OF the leac-
ing fair in the Dominion, and each year,
as result, gives pleasure to a larger
number OF people. While attention is
paid to the attractions side of the fair.
the main object of having an exhibition
tending towards the development OF agri-
culture in all its branches is not lost
sight Of.
Special efforts have been made each
year to increase the interest in the live
stock department and the efforts of the
directors have not been in vain, as is
shown by the increased entries year by
year. This year the prospects are bright
for an increase in the exhibition Of live
stock. The prize money has been in
creased from $4,000 to s14, 900, and the
directors have also decided to give free
hay and straw for the livestock. This
will mean q considerable saving to the
exhibitor. In addition to the prizes al
ready published, there are q number of
special prizes which have been offered
since the list was put in the hands OF the
printers. There is also q long list OF
specials in the poultry department and
the Bank OF Montreal is giving 500 for
sheep and swine specials.
A special feature this year will be the
horse show. Arrangements have been
under way in this connection for some
time, and already some of the largest
fancy breeders in the Dominion have
promised to attend.
The attractions secured this year are ex-
ceptionally good. The policy of the
management in the past to secure moth
ing cut the best and cleanest acts has
been followed, so that good bill of fare
in this connection is assured

shall is just OF the press. Several very
live questions OF the day, such as town
representation, direct primaries and pop
ular election of senators, are dealt with in
a way that will certainly provoke discus
sion. "The Gentleman from East Blue
berry" is farcical sketch of the last ses-
sion of the Vermont legislature. The
ideas there presented in the form of satire
will not be concurred in by everyone, but
are certainly interesting and worthy Of
consideration by everyone in Vermont
who is in the least interested in public
affairs. The book is of 12s pages and re-
tails for SOC. G. F. Boswell of Montpel-
Ter is placing it on the market.

Murder al south Walden.


George Perkins, one of the most re-
spected citizens Of South Walden. was
shot and killed last week Tuesday night
by Joe Pascal, 3 neighbor, while crszed
with alcohol.
Pascal and his brother, Corliss, went to
Morrisville and obtained a quantity Of
liquor, going home in badly Intoxicated
condition. Joe Pascal began beating his
wife and she ran away from him. He
then went to the house of Mr.. Perkins,
believing that she was concealed in the
house, and demanded that they send her
out
Mr.. Perkins, who was about ~ years
old, informed Pascal that the woman was
not there. Pascal then smashed in all
the windows in the lower part OF the
house and. climbing through one of
them, fred several shots, killing Mr.. Per
kins.
Mr.. Perkins was shot in the wrist and
an autopsy performed at the Perkins
home disclosed a severe cash on the back
of the head and another bad bruise on the
chest, and it is surmised that Pascal
struck Perkins with the butt of his gun
and that these blows rather than the rife
wound in the right wrist caused his
death.
Pascal was evidently seized with a de-
sire to kill as, after having hit Mr.. Per-
kins, he aimed at another person in the
room, but the revolver missed fire. See
ing Hiram Smith, a farm hand, he took
careful aim, but the chamber of the gun
was empty.
Mrs. Perkins was in the room adjoin-
ing the one where her husband met his
death and she escaped by going into the
shed.
Diligent search was made for Pascal for
q number of days by a posse of armed
men, but no trace OF him could be found.
The explanation came Sunday when his
corpse was found by George Haynes. 1t
was badly decomposed. rife ball had
been fred by Pascal through his right
temple and the top Of his head blown of.
/ II is believed that the murderer killed
himself Friday about 7:30 O'Clock. when
three shots were heard, the first two as an
evident warning.
Where the body lay was in plain sight
of the road and of the cemetery in which
( the body OF Pascars victim was buried
/ Friday afternoon. With rs armed men
on his trail and escape impossible, Pascal
evidently watched the funeral and deter.
mined to end his life. He had returned
/ to his own land to die and was not over
40 rods from where his wife and several
children snxiously awaited news of his
capture, dead or alive.
