that the song had been sung at many
Carabao dinners in previous years and
had originally read Damn, damn, damn
the Filipinos," but had been amended.
"Army and navy officials have no busi-
ness singing either version" said Mr..
Daniels.
Many officers believe reprimand and
an order that such affairs be discontinued
in the future viii be the extent of 1t all.
The President expressed his indignation
to members of his cabinet after he had
read published accounts of the banquet.
He felt particularly displeased over the
travesty on the administrations peace
policy and criticisms aimed at Sec. Bry-
an when three 6-foot models of battle
ships, borne by concealed boys. were
carried into the banquet room. In the
muzzle of the guns was stuck nosegays
and a milk white dove was perched on
each fighting top. They were named ''U.
S. S. Fellowship" ''U. S. S. Friendship
and "U. S. S. Piff1e.' Another satire
was a moving picture film of 3-year
pursuit of Filipino colonel, who time
and again escaped capture, and hardly
had been apprehended when he was made
governor of province.
The performance, according to state
nents given out by the Carabao Society,
was designed to show the lack of SYM
pathy for recent developments and ten

Dr. Joseph NJ. Heller, secretary OF the
Washington Corral of the Carabao, is

gret on behalf of the members of the
order, particularly those who had to do
with Thursday nights dinner. that any
feature Of the program had given Of
fence.
1.-THE members of the order feel sure,
DR.. Heller said, that the high officials
present at the dinner must have observed
the spirit in which things were done,
and must realize, as they were intended
to realize. that there was no effort to
reflect on anyone or upon anything.
THE song Damn, Damn. Damn the In
surrectos' was inspired 10 years ago. dur
ing the insurrection in the islands. in the
heat of vicious campaign and amid
hardships and privations and 1t was sung
by the first volunteers that went to the
Philippines, and has been every year
since AS the words of the song indicate
the men wanted the insurrection over
and to be returned to their own beloved
homes. At is stood originally the song
read Filipino instead or 'insurrecto'.
Three years ago 1t was recognized that
conditions had changed and so the word
ing of the song was altered so that there
would no longer by a fling at the Ffiipi-

Annually for II years we have offered
an evening of entertainment TO many
men high in public life. in the business
world and in the professions, and it is a
matter for deep regret that our efforts
at pure funmaking should now arouse

it. One old timer remarked that in
those days a front yard fence was a
very important factor in the home sur
roundings. Pickets were made at mills
in this town and very large quantities
setts where they were used in building
the same kind of fences.
A very interesting picture in the col
lection is the one that was taken from
the old railroad bridge, on the Benton
side and looking up-river 1t shows
how sparsely populated this town was
at that time. Another view shows the
saw mill that was burned July u, 1882.
The entire mill was under one roof and
adjoining it were smaller mills. At the
time this mill was destroyed II dwell
ing houses were also burned.
In the collection are pictures of train
wrecks which occurred near this sec
tion. One picture shows the wreck
that occurred, March 5, 1873, at East
Hampden, when a train went through
an overland bridge. Another wreck,
which occurred 80 years ago, when Kill
gore, an engineer, had orders to run his
train from Augusta to Riverside. The
time allotted him was seven minutes.
He ran into the rear of freight train
going at the rate of a mile a minute
Three lives were last, Kilgore, his fire
man, and the engineer on the other
train.
Tho picture of a wreck that occurred
In Fairfield, over % years ago in the

Is depicted very clearly. Other views
