fought before and since those epoch
making dates none has been greater
or more decisive than Gettysburg.
The town of Gettysburg Is peace
full little place. frightened and fresh

The restoration of the log to the do

to see 1t placed where its preservation

he forwarded it to the library Of the
navy department

Their battles fought, their triumphs closed,
Their final victory won.

No onward march, no battlecry,
On plains where thousands fell.

No lonely watch to tread.

Shall praise the fallen deadi
Year after year. how grand the scene.

The thunderstorms Of heaven may rave
But under Gods control.

MANY ARE FLEECED
BY LAND COMPANY

With a sickening thud the exposure
0 land fraud has fallen on the ears
of about one hundred investors who
reside in Baraboo and Madison. The
, land company was formed in the Cap
ital city and the fattering offers (?)
were largely limited to the young men
who are employed on the railroads in
this section. They were sold five
acres each Of irrigated land in the
west at $500 per acre, the whole
amount to be 81 900. Later the young
men expected to take the Tribune
editors advice. 1t wGs agreed that
the land would be planted in fruit and
ia that way become valuable. No
one went to see the property and
everything went merrily until the
scheme was exploded. 1t was not
long until the new owners were asked
to pay water tax of $3.50 each and
this was followed by an assessment of
SIS to clear the land. Then they hest
tated. 1t was decided that some one
take trip and investigate. The ex-
preston on his countenance when he
arrived was like politician the day
after his defeat. The land was as bar
ron as paved road and the irrigating
ditch was only an excuse. Those who
have invested have lost and the whole
affair will probably be aired in the
courts. In the meantime the favorite
song of the selected 100 is, "Heart

the experience. He was wounded half
dozen times during the war, the

A1Seven Days Retreat" He was
mustered out Oct. 26, 1854 at Peters
