The TOasts.
Superintendent A. q. Kingsford was
the POSTMASTER and with verse, apt
statement or anecdote introduced the
speakers one by one. "Our Hospital"
was responded to by Mrs. f. Pfann-
stiehl. She spoke of the generous offer
by DR.. Ochsner to provide the site at
the western extremity of Seventh
avenue provided the sum of $780, 900
was raised. The speaker said that the
half way point of obtaining the $50, 900
was being rapidly approached and it
was hoped the entire sum will be Sc
cured. 1t will require something like
$40, 900 to erect and equip the building,
the remainder to be used in maintain
ing the Institution until self support
ing.
p. III. Crossman followed with Gun
common People," Mr.. Crossman said
that the subject had been presented to
a class of pupils and that some uncom-
mon essays resulted. One child said
uncommon people are those who do
work every day besides everyday
work. The speaker found an uncom-
mon person in one who is seeking a
third term at Washington, in some of
those who were on board the Titanic,

learned to read, in the greatest person

age of the Civil war and such men as
Richard III. Mr.. Crossman said
there are sometimes people living next
door who are leading heroic and I'm.
common lives. The speakers remarks
were punctured with dry wit and
cl aracteristic philosophy.
Rev. E. &. Henke told of Common
People" He said the common people
were the good people, those who earn
a living and who pay their obligations.
They lead old fashioned lives. They
are not found on the pilots in front or
ia the pullman cars at the rear of the
trsins but in the coaches and "get
there just the seme.' Another char
acteristic Of the common people is that
they are religious, tolerant and mind
their own business. They talk tile
and are the power behind the throne.
Hope For Peace.
A most broad and comprehensive
view of ''The Hope for Peace" was
taken by F. III. Horstman. He
said that war would cure itself. Con-
fiict is opposed by greed, for greed has
learned that war does not pay. War is
waste and the money centers of the
world are more and more opposed to
conflicts. The centers of capital being
opposed to war will be an important
factor in abolishing this curse Of the
race. The toast from end to end was
filled with the choicest epigrans and
the best of thought on the future hope
of nations.
s'For a. that, and a. that
It's coming yet, for a. that
When man to man, the void DER,
Shall brothers be, for a. that.
S. J. Hood responded to "The
Ragged EDGE. He APPLY illustrated
many phases of the dragged edge" and
foundI one good example in the
s'wearies" who frequent the back
doors and the police side of the city
hall. He said sometimes towns and
cities thought they were on the "rag-
ged edge" when a railroad was about
to make reductions, an opera house
failed to be erected or when hospital
proposition was quite large. He even
found dragged edge" characteristics in
some of the most elevated positions as
when politician was running for
a third term at the White House.
Miss Curtis Speaks.
The leading toast of the evening was
given by Miss Alice B. Curtiss of Mil
waukee who is in the field in the in
terest of woman suffrage and woman
Suffrage" was her topic. She said that
twenty-one countries were in the
Worlds Woman Alliance and thought
it was time that this nation lent an
ear to the phrase, "Let US keep step
with new China The best men and
women are standing for the cause
while those working against it are
allied with the vice interests. Her
quotation from Miss Ada James of
Richland Center was apt, "Oh! that
the good men of the country had
half the faith in US that
the bad men haveo. She
spoke of the results achieved in other
states, told how the women there
voted in numbers equal to the men
and the good it would do in Wisconsin.

Gen. Blunt returned to this place or
the Sd inst. after having been gone out
on the Plains about four weeks after
the Indians. He went with his ccm.
mand as far as the Pawnee Fork with
out meeting with anything worthy OF
note. At that place the advance
guard ran on to a small party of
Indians who Immediately fled, the
guard pursuing, and after following
them a short distance they came o n to
a large body of Indians, and the boys
in turn retreated and the indians pur-
sued. After retreating short distance
the guards, consisting Of one company
of Colorado cavalry, made stand and
handsomely repulsed the Indians, who
Immediately extended their lines. At
this iuncture one of the guards fell,
shot through the heart. And the boys
made another stand, determined that
if the Indians got one scalp they
should have more with it. BY this
time the command had advanced to
within hearing distance, and were
halted for the General to talk with six
Indians who pretended to be trying to
form a treaty. The boys halted few
minutes, but they could not be kept
any longer in hearing OF where their
comrades were contending with ten
times their number of Redskins. And
Capt Conkey being temporarily in
command gave the order forward.
The men went with a cheer and the
Indians fled in CONSERVATION. The
Chief that was talking with the Cen
eral when he saw the command start
to the rescue of the little band that
was fighting, gave the General some
pretty saucy words, and the General
drew his revolver AMI one Indian fell
from his pony, the other men standing
by drew their revolveTs and three
ponies were left riderless. The result
70 the engage ment was eleven Indians
killed. Our loss was one killed, Two
wounded and one missing. The lnol-
