second and even more direct influence in fos-
tering the present activity in the creation Of
memorials in marble and bronze is the custom
which has grown up with the development of the
battlefield park plan of suitably marking every
historic spot at the scene of great struggle be-
tween the Union and Confederate forces. This
explains the dozens and even hundreds of statues,
monuments and markers that are now to be
found in the average important battlefield park.
Some of the monuments are erected by appropri-
alton of congress by funds set aside by the
legislatures of states that desire to thus honor
their sons who fought in defense of the flag. An
even greater number of these enduring tributes,

YOUNG COUPLE DEAD.

sisted Upon Having unlaw-
full Operation Performed.

Hamburg, Ia, May 22,-Mr, and Mrs.
Perry Noblitt, young married couple
who resided on fine farm near Ham
burg, were buried together Saturday
forenoon in a little cemetery near
where the two were reared, while
friends of DR.. Arnold Jolly, leading
physician of Hamburg, were renewing
their efforts to secure $4,000 bond for
jolly and also an attorney to represent
him at the preliminary hearing.
Mr. jolly is informally charged
with the murder of Mrs. Perry Mob
lit, whose tragic death, less than an
hour later, was followed by the sui
eide of her young husband.
A deep aversion to maternity APP
pears now to have been the primary
cause of the tragedy which has shak-

Mr.. and Mrs. Perry Noblltt visited
Hamburg and were seen in the vicin-
ity of DR.. Jolly's Office for some hours,
apparently waiting for Jolly's return
from the country. Shortly after mid
night neighbors OF the Noblitts were
shocked to hear OF the death of the
young couple, both of whom were
found lifeless on bed at home, the
husband with bullet hole in his
head. The carriage in which they had
driven from town was covered with
blood and the circumstances indicated
that Mrs. Noblitt had died en- route
home from town, that her husband had
carried her into the house and had
then killed himself.
Mrs. Noblitt's death, according to
testimony given at the inquest, was
caused from a criminal operation

jail. The dead people were members

Next came the erection of a statue to Gen.
James B. Mcpherson. This was erected through
the efforts of the Society of the Army of the
Tennessee, and it was intended that the mon
ument should constitute McPherson's tomb.
Beneath the statue is vault designed to re-
ceive the body of the gallant officer killed near
Atlanta, but such interment was never made.
The statue represents Mcpherson as he led in
battle, In his right hand he holds field glasses
and is portrayed as gazing deliberately over
a field of battle.
