REUNION POEM
An Original Poem, Written For the Occasion of tn,
Reunion by Arthur Millard of Galveston Texas
son of the late Burton Miard of Wausau

All hail to the veterans, nations defenders
We welcome you all with hearts firm and true
Our hands are extended, doors are wide open,
thrice welcome are yOu brave boys in blue
From CORY Bull Run to far famed Appomatox
From Shiloh to Sherman S march down to the sea-
You routed the enemy, stamped out high treason
We IL forget not your deeds till time ceases to be.
We saw you depart with steps strong and sprightly,
we prayed tor you daily with tears in the eye;
we prayed tor your safety mid hardShpS and perilS
10 the God of our nation who watched from on high.
Four long weary years, in strife fratricidal
You suffered on battlefield, in prison pen
You followed your leaders, endured prvations
lhat our country might be united again.
But see Father Time rolls back the closed curtain;
DehOC the great carnage dark battlefield
Bravely the long line of blue presses onward
Determined to die but never to yield.
1t waverS- -retreatS-Ah no, it advances
MIG rattle OF muSketS and Shrekng of shells;
1t reaches the breast works, is them quickly
An erWhemlng victory history tells.
The battle is won! Hear the shouts of the vicorsl
The Star Spangled Banner still in the air waves
he stars and the bars in the dust now are trailing
lis the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave
When Peace with its white wings spread over the nation
DlSpeling the gloom of wars ghastly pail
You returned to the farm the office and workshop
ReSumlng work left at battles dread call
But Time the great leveler, flies away quickly
Two and ten years pass since wars horrid din.
Your step is less sprghty, your heads white and hoarv-
Death, faster than war, now makes your ranks thin
Your leaders have falen-Grant Hancock and Sherman
Little Phil and others you all loved SO dear
Are waiting above by the side of our Lincoln
10 welcome the boys who bring up the rear
But your hearts as true and your vaor as ardent
AS when in the 60'S you stood in the line
For PATRIOTS love for this great country'S honor
Can ne 'er be eHaced by the ravage of time
And as you've gathered in peaceful reunion
10 talk o er the battles your valor had won,
l on ind but frIendS-nO enemy lurkin0-
For peace has long since spiked every gun.
So crowd round the campfire call in the pckets
Eat, drink and be merry while you are here.
The drum and the fife, the signal for action,
Bring nothing but peace, goodwill and cheer
Then here's your health old batte-Scarred veterans
Three cheers and tiger for each honored guest
We've chained up dog, and locked up chickens,
Our SmokehouSe is empty, but take what is left.

About $50 delegates, including
ladies of the G.. A. R., the Woman's
Relief Corps, Sons of Veterans and
other members of the G. A. R. and
auxiliary societies, it is said, are at
tending the Encampment during
the week.
In the city attending the En-
campment this week are some of
the survivors of more than 2, 500, 900
heroes of the war of half a century
ago, and only about 100000 who
survive to wear the G. A. R. badge
of honor.
There are two candidates for the
post of Commander of the State G.
A. R. to succeed Commander S. A.
Cook of Neenah, they are DR.. J. w.
Mckay of Madison, and O. L.
ROsenkranz of Milwaukee, and both
are strong and able candidates.
"The Court of Honor" on the
north, south and west sides of the
court house square, together with
decorations, emblems and illumina-
tions are complete and are works of
art and INGENUITY and reflect great
credit upon the designers and build

the Sons of Veterans and members
W. R. Chellis and Hiram Anderson
are committee selected to meet
all incoming passenger trains with

including Governor Philip and staff

ping places.
Frank G. Dana's cornet band, of
the Milwaukee Veterans home, is
to be one of the inspiring features
of the Encampment. Mr.. Dana
has one of the very best bands in
the state, which is an assurance of
some good music. Being a former
resident of this city and the leader
of fine band here, his many friends
in Wausau will be pleased to meet
him and hear his music again.

Wausau Lodge No. 3d. Knights ot

James McCrossen, Alex. Stewart

On Saturday evening the saw mill
of the Jenny Lumber Co., at Merrill
was entirely destroyed by fire, to-
gether with about 100000 feet of
lumber.
During the past five years the
county officers have taken consider
able pains and trouble, and have been
to considerable expense, in putting
out trees around the court house
square. This adds very much to it's
appearance. Notwithstanding all this
trouble and expense, there are people
who seem to delight in defacing and
injuring these trees. They will drive
for block and by dozen hitching
posts to hitch to one of these trees.

TUESDAY, JULY 5, 1881.

Mr.. Rand of Milwaukee was in
town several days last week canvass
ing the field for the organization of a
lodge of the Knights of Pythias. He
procured the names of about thirty
of our best men to a petition for a
chapter, and lodge will be organized
here at an early day. The organiza-
tlon is founded on the legion of
Damon and Pythias, and its purpose
is mutual protection and assistance,
and not an insurance organization, as
many suppose. r. p. Manson, D. j.
Murray, E. L. Bump, Geo. Silverthorn
and j. M. Smith are mentioned as
officers.
Yesterday was the most sorrowful
Fourth of July ever celebrated. The
sad news from Washington of the as
sasination of Prest Garfield was the
theme of every tongue, and dampened
the ardor and enthusiasm of all who
desired to celebrate. The greater
part of our people suspended all prep
arations for celebrating. The regular
programme was varied to suit the oc-
caSiOn.
TUESDAY, JULY u, 1881.
Only one man was found in Wausau
who rejoiced over the attempt to as
sassinate President Garfield, and he
hadn't brains enough to know any
better. Some one ought to have
broken his jaw.

BETHESDA DISTRICT HIGH
SCHOOL PLANS DISCUSSED
Federation of Home and School As
sociations Reaches No De-
cision as to Location.

Plans for high school for the Be-
thesda district, to afford high school
facilities for Bethesda, Woodmont
Edgewood, Somerset, Drummond. Chevy
Chase and Friendship Heights, were
discussed last night at a meeting of the
Bethesda District Federation of Home
and School Associations, at the Bethes-
da SchoolhouSe. No conclusions were
reached at the meeting, and it was de-
cided to hold another meeting at date
to be selected later.
A suggestion to consolidate the
schools of Bethesda and Chevy Chase.
Md, and to erect building as close
as possible to the intersection of Brad
ley lane and Wisconsin avenue was
broached. but met with opposition. 1t
was explained that a school located at
that place would afford central facili-
ties to more than 400 children. High
school facilities to be provided would,
under the Maryland state law, have to
be paid for at first out of ordinary
school revenues. The law provides.
however, that after such high school
has been established and operated for q
definite period it is to be inspected by
the county school authorities, and on
being shown to meet the state board
requirements the state will pay 81 ,4oU
per year additional for the mafnte-
nance of the high school.
Advocates of high school at Ken
sington, Nd, were heard at the meet
ing, as were speakers who favored the
strengthening of the county high school
at Rockville rather than the establish
ment of other high schools throughout
the county.

RIVER ICE DISAPPEARS
UNDER TOUCH OF SUMMER
Navigators, However, Expect Return
of Freezing Weather and
Take No Chances.

The recent summerlike weather fair
ly ate up the ice in spite of the cool
ness of the water, and the river chan
nels in the vicinity of this city are al
most free of ice. The ice on the fats
is becoming mushy and ready to dis
appear. The ice drifting out of the
creeks tributary to the Potomac gave
the tugs coming up the river with tows
some little trouble, but most of it was
soon broken up.
The masters of the vessels that have
been held here by the ice are making
preparations to get away as soon as
possible. The tug James O. Carter took
out tow yesterday afternoon and 9TH
ers will follow today. The rivermen
say that one day of sunshine does not
bring spring and are inclined to be-
lieve that the present warm weather
will remain but a day or two. In the
latter part of this month they look for
a return Of cold weather and say this
thaw is one that invariably comes in
January when ice makes about Christ
mas.
Reports received yesterday from the
head of Chesapeake bay said there was
plenty of ice there and navigation still
tied up.
