John A. McConahie Post of the Grand
Army Here to Decide on Dis
solution This Afternoon.
From Saturday's Dally
There is but one foe that the brave
soldiers who served in the Civil war
in this nation have learned is un
conquerable, that fears no host how
ever courageous and knows that in
evitably the greatest of armies and
the most daring of men must succumb
to his assaults and this is the grim
and always advancing foe Time.
To this gray messenger of passing
years. -McConahie post of the Grand
Army of the Republic is bowing its
head and this afternoon is noiaing
what is expected to be the last meet
ing of the post. The membership of
this once large and active organiza
tion has shrunk to a mere handful,
the members who reside here being
so few in number that they can al
most be counted on the fingers of the
hand and several of these are strick
en by the advance of time so that
they are deprived of attending the
meetings of the post, thus hastening
the disbandment of the organization
and the surrender of its charter.
To many in the community the
time seems short when this little
group of grey haired men, now
stooped by the weight of years, were
strong and vigorous in their man
hood and active in the affairs of the
city, county and state, but now in!
the fast nearing twilight of life they i
have laid aside the cares of civic lead-!
Nearly every man uses Garters. If he buys
them himself the chances are ten to one that
he buys PARIS. Here they are in handsome
individual boxes or in combination sets.
Single boxes - - 25c, 35c, 40c, 50c and $1
Combination sets Garters and Armbands - 50c

It is hard to realize the great part
in the history of the nation that the
members of this post and of all other
Grand Army organizations have play
ed in the drama of their youthful
days, the bravery that they show
ed in one of the greatest wars of all
time their daring that knew no fear,
their love of country that carried
them through four years of hell that
the nation that our -forefathers
founded might live and that the
union of states founded on the sac
rifices of the colonists and the heroes
of the revolutionary days might not
be broken and scattered by the seeds
of discord. Theirs has been a won
derful contribution to the United
States and to the world.
To those of us who have lived in
the present, what they have endured
we can only glimpse from the pages
of history that have left untold the
thousand tales of bravery and sacri
fice that they have performed.
In the last great war that involved
practically all of the civilized world,
this nation sent forth an army whose
average age was twenty-four years.
while in the Civil war the average
age of the men of the Union army
was seventeen. Sixty years ago the
great conflict closed and the boys of
that day are now the venerable sages
of the nation, their journey s end a
little way ahead, but to those who are
here today there has been given the
opportunity of seeing their nation
united, grow to the greatest in the
world.
At the present time the officers of
John McConahie post of the Grand
Army of the Republic are T. W.
Glenn, commander; John Fight, sen
ior vice commander; Thomas Wiles,
quartermaster; Asbury Jacks, officer
of the day; John McCarty, chaplain.
Commander Glenn has removed to
Hamburg, Iowa, and at the present
time the post of adjutant and also
junior vice commander are vacant.
Among the membership of the post
at the present time there is still en
rolled one of the charter members,
R. V. Hyers, all of those associated
with him in the organizing of the
post here having answered the last
call to arms. Mr. Hyers is in his
eighty-second year and although re
taining his membership here has long
resided in Lincoln and Havelock. The
oldest member of the post is D. V.
Foster, now living in Omaha, who is
in his ninety-second year of life.
The other members of the post here
are Thomas Wiles, Asbury Jacks,
John Fight, Col. M. A. Bates, John
McCarty, William Burke, William
Gilmour, W. H. Venner of Mynard,
E. A. Kirkpatrick of Nehawka, Rob
ert Troop, I. N. Barrows and Samuel
Latta of Murray. The failing health
of the members here and the inability
of the members at other points at
tending the meetings has led to the
movement for the surrender of the
charter and the disbandment of the
post.
John McConahie post of the Grand
Army of the Republic was organized
in this city April 2G, 18S0, fifteen
years after the close of the great
war in which the members had par
ticipated and at the time of the orga
nization the post was named in honor
of one of the leaders in the Union
army who had perished on the bat
tle field, the rule being with this
great order as with the American
Legion of today, that posts might be
named only after individuals who
had paid the supreme sacrifice in the
war.
The charter members of the post
numbered leaders then in the life of
the city and state and from the rec
ords of the order it has been possible
to secure the names of those who
first launched the post on its long
years of service to this community.
The charter members of the post
were:
Alpha Wright, age 67, chaplain,
25th Missouri infantry.
Robert R. Livingston, captain, Co.
A, 1st Nebraska infantry. .
Samuel M. Chapman, age 38, pri
vate, Co. E, 14th Iowa Infantry.
J. A. McMurphy, age 41, sargeant.
Co. B, 5 th New Jersey infantry.
Co. D, Gtli Wisconsin infantry
J. J. Weaver, age .IS, private.

SPLENDID OLD GENTLEMEN
Shenandoah, la., Dec. 10. William
Balfour of Nehawka was at Shenan
doah , Tuesday evening, playing his
fiddle at KFNF along with the Graf
Music club of Graf. Neb., who were
putting on the program from the Hen
ry Fields station. While Mr. Balfour
was playing a message was received
at the station congratulating him on
the music, from a man who has been
a neighbor of Mr. Falfour for .'7
years. Cass county has several of the
old pioneers, yet they will not bo
with us long. They went throupn
many hardships and sacrifices ty
make this wt nderful county what it
is; and we should hold them in the
highest consideration and their ex
amples as worthy of great thought.
Mr. Balfour, although almost 81
years old, raised 30 acres of corn
and did his own corn picking; and
he enjoys better health than a whole
lot of the retired fr.rmers around
the towns a score of years younger
than Mr. Balfour.
Tne Frank II. Iliggins truck line
that operates between Nebraska City
and Omaha was the sufferer Tuesday
night of the robbery of several pack
ages of candy that had been on the
truck for delivery at Nebraska City
from the Omaha wholesale houses.
The truck was driven by O. Pierce
and the goods were not missed until
the truck arrived at Nebraska City
and the e he k of the goods revealed
a shortage of several boxes and pack
ages of candy that had been on the
truck when it had left Omaha.
The driver of the truck states that
he noticed a large closed car pass
the truck while it was traveling
along the K-T highway between
IMattsmouth and Murray and that
two miles further south the truck had
passed this same car parked along
the roadway. The driver believes
that the thief had gotten on the
truck, threw off the boxes and then
dropped off the truck and v, as later
picked up by the occupants of the
closed car who had then made their
getaway before the loss was discov
ered by the truck driver.
The truck driver rides in an en-j
closed cab and therefore failed to
hear the man on the truck.
This morning Sheriff Stewart, who
has been investigating the matter,
learned that a car answering the
number of the plate found near the
scene of the supposed true k robbery
was from Omaha and that it was that
of an EUar that had been stolen there
some time Tuesdav.
