Hon. Chas. +. Sherman, Commander
in-Chief of the Sons of Veterans said
Il have attended all of the National
Encampments for years and many of
the State EncampmentS. Never have

decorations. The idea is wonderful
and the way it is carried out, is per-

scheme and did the work was an
artist and a genius and his heart
must have been full of love for the
old soldiers. | shall never forget it,"
Gen. Palmer Commander of chief of
the G. A. r. said: "We have had En-
campmentS where the decorations
were on larger scale but never have
seen anything as beautiful" Others
were just as lavish in their praises.
1t was touching sight TO see the old
soldiers looking for the column, with
the name of their regiment and to see
their joy when they found the same
with the name of some of the battles
in which they fought. They fingered
and gazed at the decorations and
their thoughts went out to the days
when they were young Never will
they forget their stay in Wausau ana
the surprise which awaited them, done
in their honor These decorations
were designed and arranged by Hugo
l.. Mumm, a member of the Sons of
Veterans, and in recognition of his
splendid work, he was presented with
a solid gold charm, which was indeed
merited.

BOYS OF THE LONG AGO

When the war of the rebellion
broke out, many young men enlisted
from Wausau. and on Wednesday the
editor of the PILOT ran into a bunch
of them who were talking over old
times. One was n. d. Brown, who
was at work for BENZ. Single at Little
Rib, when the war broke out. He
now resides at Port Huron,
Mich. He had many relics in his
possession, a rebel flag which he took
from one of the buildings in Columbia,
S. c.; bullet in three parts-a solid
back with projection which passed
through washer into the back OF the
bullet, the latter spread when tired
and the effect was about the same as
the "dunld,ta." The washer acted as
a cleaner for the gun. Another OF
the vets was Hank Tickner who now
resides at Grand Rapids. Hank was
a Young fellow known TO everybody
here in 1860. He lived at the Forest
House and was popular with the
Young and old, and many tears were
shed when he donned the uniform
and started for the front. Many OF
us had not seen him since that time.
We associated with him the Hank
of long ago and when his name was
mentioned, looked around for the
sprightly, good looking boy OF yore,
but instead there was gray-haired
man who had passed three score
wears and ten. He too had relics and
a fund of old stories. With them was
John Feltis who lives on farm in the
town of WauSau. These vets. all

who went with them in that company
in 1862, we're Am. Porter, Charles

the boys and men who went

the Revolution, the War of 1872, the
Indian, Civil and Spanish American
wars, ETC., the federal and public
buildings, the homes and all public
places were Superbly decorated and
Illuminated for the memorable oc-
caSlon.
An interesting fact was related by
some of the old soldiers. Twenty
three of them enlisted together in
Wisconsin regiment at the beginning
of the war. Fourteen of those TWEEN
ty-three met here for the annual
Encampment, one coming from Seat
tie, Wash. Only nine of the twenty
three have passed beyond.
Captain Henry of Eau Claire,
former resident of Wausau, met with
hearty reception by his old time
friends here and was given many
hearty welcome and hand-Shake. He
and another comrade are the sur
vivors of an outing party on the upper
lakes upwards OF thirty-tiye years
past.
Col. j. A. Watrous was one of the
popular fgures-as he always is on oc-
caSionS like this or where patriotism
has full Sway-at the Encampment
and is always ready for emergencies
when called upon sfor work or prompt
responses.
In their zeal to see the parade
Tuesday, autos and dense crowds
almost entirely packed Third street,
much to the inconvenience of the
paraderS, thus obstructing the streets
in a measure, for better displayment.
Three of the young ladies of Wau-
sau were honored by Commander
Cook when he asked them to witness
the parade from the reviewing stand.
He later awarded each with badges
as souvenirs of the Encampment.
When the living flag started from
the Public Library grounds one of
the tiniest girls in the front row
piped up: eff we walk fast can't we
get to Rothschild pavilion in half an
hour ?"
Many veterans and their friends
from nearby states were present, TO
lend voice and enthusiasm to the
large gathering and at the same time
TO visit with relatives and friends.
The court house square was the
center of attraction during the even
ingS of Tuesday and Wednesday, TO
listen to the splendid band concerts,
closing on Wednesday evening.
Not a single arrest was made dur
ing the presence of the dense popu-
lace which is among the things to be
proud of and most satisfying to visi-
tors and citizens.
The missouri meerschaum" pipes,
G. A. r. souvenirs, and tobacco, after
the supper at the pavilion were a
happy hit and they were much enjoy
ed by the veterans.

Among the prominent g. A. r.
veterans were Coils. j. A. Watrous,
Weissert and Starkweather, E. L.
Nye, 0. L. Rosenkranz, Frank Walsh,
DR.. .. w. Carlson and W. III. Sher-
man of Milwaukee; Gen. Bryant and

and hundreds of others whose names
would fill several columns of this
paper.
The weather on Monday looked
foreboding, indicating unfavorable
conditions for the Encampment, the
SKY being darkened with heavy, SOM
bre clouds. Monday night the clouds
broke and Tuesday morning was
ushered in by the bright sunshine and
Wednesday the same, giving us per-
feet weather for the three days
events, for all of which every one was
grateful to "Him who doeth all things
we'll, and on this particular oc-
casion.
Ex-Commander S. A. Cook, of
Neenah is certainly deserving of pro-
fuse congratulations for the very
methodical, painstaking and capable
manner in which he presided over the
deliberations of the convention and in
his assistance in making the Encamp-
ment such grand success on this
memorable occasion and which has
really proven to be THE GREATEST
EVENT IN WAUsAU's HISTORY.
National Commander ]. D. Palmer
OF DeS MoineS, Iowa, was here two
days and was lively actor during all
events; an able speaker and thorough
going, social gentleman. He was a
Colonel in the Civil war and did ex-
cellent service for his country during
that severe struggle for the preserva-
ton of the Union, as did all who par
ticipated in that bloody conflict.
The bands and drum and fife corps
made the occasion one of lively in
spiration, and particularly so when
the latter hourly paraded the streets,
reviving the old memories of the
boys of long ago in their marches
through "Dixieland" and melted new
life in them.
All of the merchants on Third street
and even on some of the side streets
had their show windows most extrav-
agantly decorated and electrically
lighted, some of which had special
displays of arms and antiquities of

NOTES.

This city's slogan, "Work for Wau-
sau," was an attractive feature or the
week. The electrical display and the
sentiment was much admired by the
visitors. One gentlemen remarked
that "the decorations of this already
beautiful city, the preparations for
the Encampment and the whoIe-soul.
ed hospitality extended throughout
showed that Work for Wausau' was
truly the motto of its citizens"
Truman Rice, so the Stevens Point
journal says, is not the only ''oldest''
veteran that attended the G. A. r.
convention. James Spaulding, of
Coloma Corners, will be ninety-one
years old on the fifth of this coming
September and is still hale and
hearty. He motored to this city from
his home with his son, James. The
distance to this city was eighty-five
miles.
In the parade an aged veteran
showed signs of fatigue on Third
street and his relatives tried in vain
TO persuade him to drop from the
line. They finally endeavored to take
him out of it, but he fought them off
and bravely continued until he drop
ped from exhaustion on Fourth street.
Veterans from the city of Rhine
lander, Amigo, Shawano, Stevens
Point, Grand Rapids, Marshfeld,
Neillsville, Tomahawk, Merrill and
numerous other nearby towns in
large numbers were present to help
swell the happy throng and to enjoy
themselves.
Many members of the EncampmeDt
fingered over number of DAYS, to
visit relatives and friends and to look
over the city, some of whom made
their first visit here and who wanted
to see more of Wausau and its sur
roundings before their departure.
Wausau Internationally surrendered
to the invaders Tuesday, who took
full possession of the city and began
to fraternize with its people, and
equal rights and hearty welcome
followed.
During the parade an enthusiastic
member of the Women's Relief Corps
showed her patronage by marching a
short distance with the veterans. She
would march arm-in-arm with one for
about half a block and then run back
and meet another an accompany him,
