VETERANS ENTERTAINED
A Pretty Incident of the G.. A. X. En-
campment at Redfield.

Redfeld, May 23.--General V. p.
Packard and the corps of Redfield as
sistants, worked smoothly a delight
full surprise upon the veterans and
the Woman's Relief corps, when they
took them out for an auto ride.
There were some three hundred in
this ride who were driven around, in
speeding the fine homes Redfield con-
tains, then out to the state school
and home for the feeble minded,
where all assembled in chapel. From
there they were taken through the
school building and Vessey cottage,
where all took a hand in inspecting
the work of the children, which con-
sisted of literary work, sloyd and
needle, hammock, basketry, carpet
and mat weaving. The work these
children are doing is to say the least
worth while, After this the veterans
and w. X. G. assembled in the gym
nasium where the surprise was
sprung when DR.. Kutnewsky had the
pupils given an entertainment which
to the old war veterans and the w.
II. G.. was most highly appreciated.

exercises by a class of boys, dances
and flag drills. A class of girls gave
folk dances, consisting of the Danish
dance of greeting and others and a
song entitled The Thread Follows
the Needle" This was beautifully
rendered. Boys and girls classes of
fered various drills and school songs.
The entertainment closed with sew
eral songs by the girls singing class.
The teachers are:
Miss Ella Frazer, principal.
Miss Lydia Hoge, literary teacher.
Miss Eta Hoge, music and calls

Mrs. Katherine Barber, sloyd.
Mrs. Jacobson, industrial.
To the above excellent corps OF
teachers is due the credit for the
splendid showing these children
made.
The autos then took the guests to
the temple where the local Woman's
Relief corps gave all a fine supper.
This corps is a brand ley one
which showed by the spread they SET
out that they are the real thing. AT
ter supper the guests met with an
other surprise when General Wash

walked in, twenty-four hours ahead
of time.

consists of a homestead of 100 acres
of valuable land, title to which was
taken by Mrs. Sarah p. Graham, his
mother, who has since died. Her
heirs thus became the heirs of Baum.
An interesting feature of the case is
the fact that it is claimed that Baum
yet is alive and we'll. About two
years ago Baum was a passenger on
a steamer plying between Nome,
Alaska, and Seattle, Wash, which
was wrecked, and ii was reported
that Baum was among those lost in
the disaster. Now it is claimed that
Baum has been heard from, and ii is
probable that evidence in connection
with his yet being alive will be Of
fered when the case is tried. If it
develops that he is alive, the heirs of
his mother would be defeated in their
purpose to secure possession of the
estate.

ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK.

Observers report an unusual num-
Der of the Rose-Breasted Grosbeak
in Madison trees this year. This ele-
CANT bird is found most abundant in
the New England states, especially
Massachusetts, but with the ex-
.Ception of the extreme western
part and coast of Georgia, and
the Carolinas, they are met with,
at certain seasons, in almost every
part of the United States. His wan
behring's extend as far up as New
Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and New
Foundland, where he has been OBJ
served to breed. He leaves early in
the fall to take up his abode in warm
er regions and as oon as spring sets
in commences his wanderings east
ward again. He is seen in Kentucky
as early as the 10th of March, on his
eastern travel. His flight is steady,
and at a considerable height. At
times he will lower himself and take
a rest in the top branches of a high
tree. Before taking a new start he will
sing q few very clear and sweet notes.
You may hear the same, at times,
during his fight, but not when he is
resting. About shutdown he chooses
one of the highest trees to sit upon,
in a stiff and upright position, and
after a few minutes repose retreats
into a thicket to spend the night.
His food consists of grass and
other seeds, buds of trees, tender
blossoms and berries. He also sub
sists partly on insects, which he
often catches on the wing.
In the third year he arrives at full
plumage. The younger birds have
the plumage of the back variegated
with light brown, white and black, a
line of which extends over the eye.
The rose color extends to the back of
the bill, where it is speckled with
black and white.
The Rose-Breasted Grosbeak is, in
common opinion, one Of the sweetest
singers of this continent. His son is
rich and melodious, and he sings at
night as well as in the daytime. His
notes are clear, full and very loud,
suddenly changing at times, to a
%plaintive and melancholy, but exceed
ingly sweet, cadence. One loves to
observe him on such occasions, and
cannot help thinking that he must
himself be aware of his good singing
talent, from his gestures and the po-
sitions he takes while pouring forth
the sweet notes from the depth Of his
throat. In captivity he sings fire.
quently and just as we'll, though not
so loud.
His nest is found from the latter
part of May to the beginning of July.
1t is fixed on the upper forks of
bushes, on apple trees, or even high
er trees, mostly in the neighborhood
of water. 1t is composed of thin
branches, intermixed with dry leaves
and the bark of the wild grape, lined
inside with dry roots and horsehair.
The female lays four eggs of a blush
white color, sprinkled with oblong
lspecks of brownish purple, especially
at the larger end. They are Matched
alternately by both male and female.
The young are fed with insects exclu-
sively, as long as they are little; then
as they grow, with seeds also, which
are previously soaked in the crops of
the parents.
These are grand mornings for bird
concerts in Madison, which are enjoy
ed by early risers.

Saratoga, N. y, Aug. 17.-On the
eve of the republican state conven
tion, the delegates were in a state of
confusion tonight. No one knew what
would happen when the convention
opened.
Officially the purpose of the meet
ing is to adopt platform and select
delegates at large to the constitutional
convention, but the delegates took only
an academic interest in these subject.
The real and abiding interest lay in
tho question of governor and United
States senator.
Most of the leaders were opposed
to any action by the convention in the
way ef recommending any candidates
for the primaries on the ground that
it would constitute a violation of the
spirit of the primary law Neverthe-
less, it was recognized that no legal
barrier stood in the way of such in
doresments, which would not be bind

Boston, Aug. 17.--"No compromise"
was the slogan with which Theodore
Roosevelt opened the political cam

there should be no compromise with
reactionaries in any form, while on
the other hand, the party would well
come the rank and file of the other
organizations who refused to follow
the other leaders.
The men who were responsible for
the Payne Aldrich bill, he asserted,
also are responsible for the present
tariff measure and should be opposed.
Speaking of what he termed tho
permanent problem of Massachusetts,
Mr. Roosevelt said:
This problem must be, so far as it
concerns the great industries in which
the immense majority of wage work
crs are engaged to combine eff
cheney with the proper sharing of the
rewards of that efficiency. There
will be no rewards for anybody, no
adequate wage for the workingman.
no proper service to the public, unless
the business pays.
''Thei main element in the success
OF any business must be efficiency
and the wage worker must do all in
his power to contribute to this eff
cheney. But the wage worker who by
his efficiency adds to the productiv-
ity must have that added efficiency
recognized in increased wages. The
benefit must in part accrue to him ex-

who furnished the capital without
