Artillery of Boston

The departure of the troops for the
 front recalls to my mind the history of
 the Ancient and Honorable Artillery
 of Boston, an organization in which I
 was a member for number of years,'
 said A. G. Lund. who Is at the Tutwiler
 This company was organized soon aft CT Massachusetts was settled and it
 furnished a large number of officers and leaders during the Revolutionary war. Some of the organizers had been members of the famous Royal Artillery company of London, which was formed during the days when Spain threatened to invade the British Isles.
 "A number of years ago, the Boston company took trip to London, where its members were royalty entertained and they were reviewed by the King The members of the London artillery company were the hosts and the occa- sion was a memorable one Some of the
 most prominent of the noblemen of England were members of the London company. When we returned to Boston we invited the parent artillery company l to visit this country and they chartered l a steamer and came over. The enter
 tainment which Boston gave the Eng
 lishmen was the finest and most elab- crate ever planned in this country.

 certain privileges which were granted { by the legislatures of that state severa centuries ago. It's members are exemp l from jury duty and they are showr certain other favors by the state gov

 Rev. Gaius Glenn Atkins of this city said to an audience at the Peoples Forum the other evening:

 Wilcox Progressive Era: The Chicago Herald, which has charge of the pub- licity campaign for the Alabama land ex- hlbits, states that their office has been swamped with inquiries relative to Ala bama lands. They predict that after the war big influx of immigrants into the state will begin. When once the advan- tages of Alabama are presented to the world and they are convinced of the facts, we may look for steady stream of immigration. The department of agri- culture which originated the idea, have gone about it in businesslike way and their efforts have been rewarded with success. Wilcox should come in for it's share as our claims are far above the average.

As the United States is mobilizing comparatively small army in the present crisis with Mexico, there is no reason why it should not be the finest equipped in the world. If there is any lack of this sort along the border it will be due to mismanagement, as our resources are practically unlimited.

today requested Councilman Ward, as a
member Of the legislative committee OF
the Iowa League Of municipalities, to
seek AT the coming session of iegis-

result it has been impossible to meet
the demands of the taxpayers.
Every member of the city council is
in favor of such a law and will urge it's
passage. Councilman Ward annCunced
that he will meet soon with the legis-
lasiye committee to frame up definite

Man" on Founders Day at coe.
Special to Times Republican.
Cedar Rapids, Dec. 14.-"The grand
old man" OF Cedar Rapids was honored
last night at Coe College in the annual
celebration of Founders day. 1t 4 is
only by analogy that Mr. tThomas.M
Sinclair could be called old man for he
was barely 40 when he met with the
accident insthe packing plant which hs
founded and developed which brought
him to his death He had been citi-
zen Of Cedar Rapids but ten years. but
during these years he so impressed
himself upon the city and community
that no one is to this day more revsred
than is Mr. Sinclair. His connection
with Coe College was close one from
the very beginning. When he cAme to
the city he found the college on The
verge Of bankruptcy and about to be
sold for the payment of debts. He at
once took hold Of the proposition with
the accustomed Sinclair energy and in
a short time paid the debt, reorganized
the college and saw it on its feet. He
is today, therefore, honored not only as
"a founder Of the college but twice and
three times its saviour. The memorial
address was delivered by DR.. E. r.
Burkhalter. his pastor, intimate friend
and fellow associate on the board Of
trustees Of the college. In the course
Of his address a portrait of Mfr. Sin.
clair was presented to the college by
his son, Robert Sinclair, in the name OF
