by every veteran Of the war OF the re-
bellion, was the subject Of Rev. Bru-
ner's address. He said that its wear
ers were the greatest heroes in a world
of heroes, and that they outrsnked the
heroes of the past both among the mil
itary and among those Of everyday
life. OF all these heroes Rev. Bruner
said some Of the greatest came from
the state OF Illinois. Among those who
were mentioned with reverence were
Abraham Lincoln, General Il. S. Grant
and General John A. Logan. The
speaker then took the little brown but
ton and likened its various phases to
the qualities Of the men who wore It.

it was made Of copper, and that the
men who wore 1t represented time, the
wealth Of the country. 1t represents
life, size, color and valor. everyone of
which qualities also belongs to its wear
ers.
PAINTS WORD PICTURES.
The orator drew some vivid word
pictures Of the happenings of the days
preceding and during the civil war. He
told how the news of the firing on
Fort Sumter was received by his own
family and his neighbors. He next
painted a picture of the response to
the call to arms, and then of the leav-
ing OF the newly enlisted soldiers for
the scene OF war. His descriptions of
various battles during the war were of
nature that almost brought the old
soldiers to their feet with their minds
fred by their memories. His speech
on the whole was a tribute to the pa
triotism and devotion of the soldiers
OF the Grand Army OF the Republic and
"Reminiscences Of their deeds in pre-
serving unbroken the union of the Unit
ed States of America.

Prosperity in Evidence in Shops of

Evidence of prosperity through
out the Rock Island railroad system
is found in the fact new shops at

old building at Nineteenth street and
Third avenue is one of the best and
most valuable in the business district
and is well worth having. II is the in
tention of the association to build fur
Their out. and SO the entire property
will be placed on the market. The
building is in fairly good shape and
could be used by some fraternal organ
ization for a home. However, the site
is a valuable one and could better be
used for Office purposes or for bust
ness house.
PROPERTY VALUE INCREASES.
There has been a tendency of late to
spread out in that direction, and there
fore the property has increased con-
siderably of late in value. Third ave
nue., it is argued, will some day include
as substantial business houses as any
thoroughfare in the city.

Whirlwind Campaign for
Funds in Spring.

In order to further plans for the
financial campaign for a new Rock Is
land Y. NJ. c. A building, L s. McCabe
and H E. Casteel, members of the ad.
visory board of the association. met
yesterday with Secretary r. c. Smed-
ley and c. c. Blakslee and H. B. Hay
den of the board of directors. After
canyassing the situation thoroughly
and discussing the matter of policy. the
board agreed that the plan of campaign
next March to raise the building fund
as mapped out at a former meeting
was the right method to follow and
that the work of the association should
be directed to this end The members
of the association will be called upon
for donations to the work before March
and then the finish will be made in a
whirlwind campaign.
The board decided that the sale OF
the building should be the first decided
step toward the securing of the fund.
The sale will not necessarily mean that
all lines of association work are to be
dfopped while the construction of the
new building is under way. but rather
that the work will be handled on differ
ent and modified lines as a preparation
for the new and greater work.
