The procession has visited the old

about 1880. A flag and wreaths they
have placed on the tomb of General
Glover. whose regiment of Marblehead

Democrat Sets Ads on
New Machine.

A large amount of the ad work of
this issue was set on the new Ludlow
Typograph installed last week. The
editor, with the assistance Of Eugene
Cottermah, our linotype machinist-
operator, erected the machine, and
after some experimenting succeeded
in bringing it under subsection, and
were able to use it this week.
The all-slug system is in many of
the large eastern dailies, but the Dem
ocrat is the first Kansas paper to in
stall it. In conversation with A. NJ
Carr Of the Mergenthaler company
who called us over the phone from
Hutchinson the first of the week, we
learn that the Kansas City Post has
installed two Ludlows with full equip,
ment.
This paper also installed this weel

incident which happened on this very
spot, in his article entitled "Grant at

Four men were carrying a wounded
soldier to the rear on a stretcher.

"Almost up, sir" was the faint re-

opinion was that we had seen the last
Of her. On the morning of the fourth
day, father, my brother and I took
walk over the field to see If we could
find any trace Of her. We saw many
terrible sights. Dead soldiers were
lying around thick; dead horses, and
many cowsklns and heads; from. this
last we soon came to the conclusion
that our COW had been killed for food
like the rest, so we gave her up. AS
we were eating supper one evening

parent lifeless body of a Confederate
soldier. The latter seemed to sudden

water.
While the wartime story was being
told Haddonfield arose from his seat
and approached the speaker. He in
spected his features carefully and then
cried out that he was the "reb" whose
life had been saved upon this occasion
by drink Of water from Haines' can
teen. The recognition was mutual, and
the scene that followed was pathetic.
The battlefield scene was wildly re-
called during the silence which attend
ed this exhibit of brotherly love.
Mr.. Haddonfield then insisted that
the next reunion of Confederate and
Union veterans take place at his home,
and the offer was accepted.
