THE GRAND ARMY.

Hark to the stirring sound
OF fife and drum,
AS slowly up the fiag-draped streets they
comet
Once more the day rolls round
When. hating, weary. gray and glory
crowned,
These heroes OF an epic grand,
These men whose boards were singed by
cannon fame,
Who fought the bravest foemen known
TO fame
Until the glad truce came,
Pass IN review before the land
Memories bitter-sweet and deep
Thrill through the veterans breast
As, Embarrassed.
The 5atioa's banner waves
Above tho peaceful, 40 ver-strewn graves
Where comrades sleep.
Soon they must all be senting on one
ground,
Before they go
Across the river in the sh ade to rest
IT'S well that we. their IONS should let
our sires know
How honored in our hearts they are and
blessed.

Their Example WIN Live.

It was faith in the great things of
life that inspired the soldiers of the
nation in the Mexican and Civil wars.
and the story of their heroism win be
told when their last encampment is a
thing of the long ago. And so. while
the veterans disband and their asso-
Citations cease to exist, the inspiration
OF their example will live and be
among the most precious possessions
Of the nation. And a people which
lives up to such examples need not
fear for the perpetuity or solidity of
American institutions.

PLAIN QUESTIONS TO VIROQUA

Every Viroqua Reader viii Ad-
mt the Soundness of the Logic

Would Viroqua people recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills as they do if the
medicine were not reliable? Would they
confirm their statements after years
have elapsed if their experiences did
not show the remedy to be deserving of

reader:

count of the aches and pains in my back

ABOUT
 THE FRANCES R.
One of The party Returns
 Without the Missing

Just as the Progressive Miner went to press, the Falcon arrived in port towing the disabled Frances k. apparently but little the worse for her recent experience. N. Casper son, who was one of the searching party, reports that they have been unable to find any further trace of the missing party. He says that an examination of the wrecked Frances R., disclosed the fact that the &C., cident must have happened nearly two weeks ago, as practically all of their provisions were aboard and that the guns and rubber boots were gone though the blankets appeared to be all on board. There was one anchor out which had been dragging. There was no note or anything left that would indicate when or why the boat was left. There is theory now that Clark and Irwin may have gone up the Chikimen river in the small boat leaving DeCosta on board the Frances R., and that some accident happened to them up the river and that later De Costa may have gone to look for them. Two small boats have been sent up the river to search for them.

THE MARQUIS
 |S DOUBTFUL
Landsdown Brutally Frank
 In His Statement
SAYS SERBIA IS LOST
Attacked From Front And Rear
 At The Same Time

LONDON, Oct. 27-In a speech delivered in the House of Commons yesterday, Marquis Landsdown, is said to have been brutally frank in his admission of the serious con ditions in which Serbia finds itself. He said in part that it was his candid belief that Serbia could be counted as lost to the allies.
 The Marquis took the opportunity to remark that the allies had been too slow in sending assistance to their friend, Serbia, and since the Teutonic allies were attacking them from the front they were being stab bed in the back by Bulgarians, he saw no good reason to hope for Serbian success. The speech caused a sensation, although the truth of the statement was admitted.

BERLIN, Oct. 26-"Competent German authorities deny the offic- ial statement made in London re- gently that only 138 British mer- chant vessels and 175 British fish ing vessels had been sunk by sub marines," says the Overseas News Agency.
 "rhese authorities state that up to the middle of October, 289 Eng fish trading vessels had been de- stroyed, as shown by statements made from time to time in the Brit ish newspapers. These reports do not disclose facts and the actual number of ships sunk is still larger.

AT THE GRAND TONIGHT

Their Lives By Thread, a three part Warner feature with Martha Russel in the leading part. The story starts off with prairie schoon CT crawling across the sun baked plains of the great southwest, half hidden in cloud of choking dust After lowering one of their comrads to his last resting place, the home seekers ride on, on to the land of promise at the end of the rainbow. Years pass by and the day of the prairie schooner are no more. Shin ing bands of steel links this great western country with the center of civilization. Then the real estate boom and the Banres' take up their new life which gives foundation for the story.
