uossible for the old soldiers and
their families to receive special rates
to the Ohio capital for the big re-
m encampment ' uc um;
largest held in recent years and one
filled with a great interest. The
members of the G. A. R. are growing
less each year and the nation feels
that they are entitled to all the aid

BUILDING EXCELLENT SCHOOL
Have Consolidated a Number of the
Rural Districts and Will Fur
nish Transportation.
Just at the time of the opening
of the morning mail, at Eagle, a
representative of the Journal arriv
ed at the stirring little city, and j
found everybody on the alert, tak
ing an active interest in the affairs
which make a live town. With the!
wheat etmaing in from all directions,
and ether industries receiving their
full proportion of interest, the city
presented a hum of business that
was unmistakable and meant pro
gress, and in the future a larger
and better business town.
G. W. Petersen was present at his
place of business, looking after some
business aud by the way has a fine
pen of rabbits, which eat alfalfa.
The Consolidated School
The consolidated school, which is
now in course of construction, is a
great step forward by the little city,
and the community surrounding it.
for thy are surely building a mag
nificent palace of instruction. Not
the edifice alone, but the system of
instruction which the youth of that
section of the county is to enjoy as
a result of its erection, is the nio3t
important thing. There are to be
twelve teachers in all with Superin
tendent Soper in charge. All of the
in-tructors have not as yet been se
cured, the position of senior class in
structor, and domestic science and
nermal training being vacant. The
school, board is composed of Henry
Snoke, 11. K. Franz. Henry Sack.
Edward Doran. L. A. Schmitz, Fred
Schegmann and Henry Trunkenbolz,
and these gentlemen in company
with Superintendent Soper, all vis
ited Nehawka during Friday after
noon to examine and investigate
their means of transportation to and
from the school. The board is seek
ing to establish the most suitable
system, at Eagle.

ducts the city dance hall and sell

plaint as to the business for it war,

Dr. Longacre wa3 busy in his of
fice, and is enjoying a visit from his
father, of Bethany,- who also came

George G. Trimble, the barber,
was busy, as were also his assis
tants. Howard Mick aud Ted Stan
ley, the boy apprentice, but withal
a good barber and a fine old scout
is well, though he is only a boy.
Mrs. A. M. Trimble, who conducts
the market since the death of her
husband, said business w?.s good and
kept them Jmsy all the time. She
is fortunate in that she secured an
adequate supply of ice last winter to
take care of her needs. Few indeed
were fortunate enough to get the
amount of ice they desired, and a
;ood many have had to go without,1
while others are forced to haul it
in from surrounding towns in order
to have any.
Frank Lanning, with all the help
he has at his garage, was still busy.
for there was a large amount ot work i
to be done. He sells the Re;o and
Auburn cars, and enjoys a very good
business.
The Fanners State bank, which is
established in the room formerly oc
cupied by the Eagle Beacon, has a
very nice place in which to conduct
its business, and the fixtures are ele
gantly appointed. The bank is car
ed for by E. M. Clair, president;
Mearl Lanning, cashier and Mrs.
Mary Adams as assistant cashier.
We found George Trunkcnbolr.
busy & the elevator and he said
that business was good, but that
the threshing of the wheat was al
most completed.
The Eagle electric light plant
was. going full blast, filling the stor
age batteries for the consumption of
the coming night. It is looked af
