Gilmore's Orchestra at Mineral
Springs Hotel

1t is the good fortune of the
Mineral Springs Hotel to have Sc
cured Gilmore's Orchestra, of
Lawrenceburg, Tennessee, for
dances, assemblies and concerts,
both sacred and secular. The
members of this company are not
strollcrs but gentlemenof position
and business who have made
orchestra work an avocation rath-
err than profession. Several will
have with them their wives or
friends. In order to give others
than our guests an opportunity to
enjoy their concert work it is
planned to give several open ali
performances in the Springs Park.
These concerts and assembling 50
large a company of people here
(about IA pieces) Will involve
quite a large expense I'd the hotei
and to help defray this it is hoped
every one who enjoys music vii
contribute as much to the suppor'
of such an enterprise at home as
he would to attend such concert:
elsewhere. To this end it is pro
posed to have Tag Day on Aug,
5, when it is hoped every public
minded citizen will buy tag, no
for admission to the public parl
but to show his wish to 'Pusl
Everything for Iuka.'

Three Caterpillar Tractors
Unloaded At Columbus;
Planks For Roads.

Three big caterpillar tractors have
been unloaded at Columbus, y. NJ, fo-
the Pershing column. The-b big trucks
are expected. to be used for carrying
supplies south from Columbus to the
camp of the American column in Mex
ice when the rainy season, which is
jFst starting, has made the roads i'm
Fassable for the ordinary trucks which
are now in use.
At Columbus a large quantity OF
lumber has also been unloaded- This
lumber is mostly three by six umbers
ten feet long and is believed to be
intended for making plank roads over
the worst stretches Of the trail south
OF the border.
There IS no indication at the quar-

CHICAGO PATRIOTISM AT FEVER
HEAT WHEN MILITIA LEAVES

Chicago gave demonstrations OF pa
triotism for its militia and the tram
sient militia who went through the big
city that overwhelmed anything OF the
kind in the country. at was wonder
full the way thousands OF Chicago peo-
pie crowded the streets and cheered
the guardsmen going to the border.
said c. II. Leavel, who has returned
/ TO FL Paso after a combined business
and pleasure visit OF three weeks IN
Chicago.
Every movement had a touch OF pa
triotism,a said Mr. Leaveu- There
were demonstrations and demonstra-
tions that made the OnlOoker's blood
tingle. The large factories OF the city
have promised to pay their men while
on duty on the border, some paying
three months salary. others six months
and the smaller industries are paying
half salary TO all their men for the en-
tire time they are on the border
Chicago is enjoying one Of its most
prosperous eras- Financiers I talked
with said the city was in such excel
lent conditions that bonds were being
sold on the instalment plan among the
working classes OF the city A sum is
paid down and the rest is made In
monthly payments There is a good
market for real estate. also.
The city is certainly the leader in
the golfing sport. There are about IS
clubs and 10 courses that are kept up
by the city in the parks and other air
ing places There are thousands and
thousands OF people who indulge, in the
game every afternoon"
