NUMBER 33 VOLUME XXXLV. w J f V Ik Great Gathering of Old Soldiers The seventeenth annual reunion of thu Nebraska and Kansas Interstate Kuuuion Association opened Monday morning under auspicious circum stances. Tin' weather was cool and the sky clear. Hy noon on .Monday most of the tents had been erected for the accom modation of the ollleials and the vete rans, while the tents and caravans of the concessionaries were mostly in place long before that time. At 10:30 a. m. after a musical reci tal by the band Comrade Davidson of Franklin was introduced and for half an hour entertained the crowd with stories of the war and giving expres sion to optimistic thoughts with re rani to the future of our country. riie Red Cloud quartette sang a patriotic song. Col. .1. 11, Prcsson, commandant of the Soldiers Home atMilford was then introduced and for an hour, held the pi... i,i., vmititiil .ii." Mint close attention of Ins audiecce witli a it was a reunion of veterans of the patriotic, eloquent and touching ad civil war was the arrival of Captain dress. He told of the bright as well Hagan's martial band from Guide as the dark side of army life and paid itock. Captain Hagan brought with ' a glowing tribute to the wives and him a fife and drum corps of eleven mothers, the daughters and sweet pieces, besides himself. The other hearts of the boys in blue, members of the corps are: Dolphie At twelve o'clock the balloon ascen- and Bvron Vaughn, Artie Hall, John .felon took place. and Wilbur Watt, Fred Sherbachcr, Leland Strickland, Albert Pace, Er At AFTEKNOON. o'clock the W. R. C. began balloon ascension at 2:30, but owing to the high wind this was postponed until 7:30, when a successful ascension and parachute drop was made. The manager of Rrown's Tennessee "Ministrels became offended at a fan cied slight on the part of the reunion eommltteeiand at 0 o'clock pulled up btakes and went west. However the vacancy was filled Tuesday morning hy Helm's Vaudeville Company. The biggest attraction in the line of amusements was "Lucky Hill" New ton's dog and pony show, which visit ed Red Cloud early this year, and re turned for the reunion. After the balloon abcenbion Monday evening, quite a large percentage of the crowd adjourned to the court house park to listen to the program arranged for that night. Hagan's Martial Hand opened the program with a few selections, and Chairman E. .1. Overing, Jr.. then in troduced Attorney .Joseph C. Saylor, who delivered an oration upon "The Evolution of the Republic." Attor ney Fred Maurer spoke upon "The Soldier as a Citizen," and was follow- ill by Judge Albert H. ICeeney, who gave, some interesting and amusing rem'miseenes of the Spanish-American war. Judge ICeeney. while himself a very young man, could not resist the temptation to call the veterans of '01 '05 by the endearing term of "boys." He read a little poem about "The Honolulu Flea," and was interrupted by Joe Warren, who informed him that during the civil war those same ileus were culled "gray-backs." Judge Keeney was followed by President Dietrick, of the Wed Cloud llusiness College, who recited Captain .liw.l f'lMiivfui-iVs imthet.lt! noelll. "The !-. !- I I.' Veteran and His Grandson," which was highly appreciated by those pres ent. This completed the program tor the evening, and everyone went home well pleased. ii'j:-i).vv.

Prof. Dietrich then read "Corporal Rill" with good effect. Mrs. Morgan of Alma then gave a brilliant and eloquent address on the work and results of the W. R. C. Since this auxiliary to the G. A. R. was orgonized sonie 25 years ago, it has grown from a membership of 40 to 100,000. She advocated that here after at all reunions a half day be given on the program to the boys and girls, that patriotic intelligence and good citizenship might be fostered. THUHSDAY. Thursday's programme was the best of the week. Gov. Sheldon arrived Wednesday evening and attended the cunnflre. Norris Rrown arrived on 13 Thursday morning. He was escort ed to the grounds by Hagan's Martial band. Mr. Rrown's address impressed the crowd very favorably. tiearge L. Sheldon of Nehawka, re publican candidate for governor, came in Wednesday evening. He de livered an address Thursday afternoon which placed him high in the estima tion of those who heard him. Mr. Sheldon was not known here prior to the convention, but there is not a per son in lied Cloud who had the pleas ure of shaking hands with him that will not acknowledge that he is a rev elation to the politicians. He is slow of speech and slow of action, but every word and every movement counts. I' KID AY. Friday was Old Settlers' day, and it was expected that A. C. Shallenberger, fusion candidate for governor, would be present to address the crowd. Everyone was disappointed when a teleirram was received from Mr. Shal lenberger Friday evening announcing his inability to be present. .1. S. Gilliam. I. H. Rlackledgo and .1. M. Chailin. of Red Cloud and Judge Sutherland of Nelson entertained the veterans with speeches.

Itseems to be giving wonderful satisfaction Among the hundreds of hog raisers who are using the medicine are the following, who recommend it very highly, many of whom claim it is the best remedy they ever used, as it not only expels all kinds of worms, but also tones up the entire system of hogs, horses and cattle, makes them thrive in a miraculous manner and sharpens up their appetites. Many of them claim if fed according to direc tions it will prove to be worth to any stock raiser SI. 00 per pound and it only costs 10 cents a pound.
