The Detroit Tree Press , in relorrinj :
to the convention , snys : "Tho body of
delcgntes which catbered yc.Morday

its personnel , a finer nppeurinp , more
courteous und intelligent body never

DclcpatPS wore present from Cali

and lernlory contributed its quota ,
Olimhn being represented by Lieuten
ant P P. Thornton and Com rod cF.V. .
Avpriji of diirrlbon No. 64. and Captain
G. M Wright nnd Lieutenant D. F.
Driseoll of Garrison No. 13.
The exorcises were opened with
prayer from the national chaplain , Rev.
H. S. Sidlinger , formerly a chaplain in
the arm ) , and ono of those who was
with General Ouster when ho rode out
to make hi- last fight wilh the Indians
Iho national commander , .lames F.
Roche of Boston , read his annual ad
dress , which was short , pithy and sup-
pestive. "Two years apo. when the
New York convention called mo to com
mand , " ho said , "the order consisted of
five gurriM ns with a membership of 233.
One year inter 1 reported to the con
vention an organization of tweuty-threo
garrisons , with an approximate mem
bership ot W > 0 , and today I bring you a
body coiri.ood of ninety-one garrison ? ,
comprising over 10,000 members.
This , to my mind , is a wonderful in
crease.
"Two years ago , yes one , we were
weak , struggling , nearly unknown to
Xho country , our battle being watched
* vith close uitontion by mnny who "hoped
for our success and perhaps by &ome
Tvho hoped otherwise. Today wo are
United from the pine fringed shores of
Maine to the Golden Gate of the Pacific ;
from the Mexican border to the Can-
odian boundary , a more poworfulorpa.nl-
fcatton than we ourselves comprehend ,
and it has iiecome possible for those who
'
Bc'rvud under the Hag , who formerly
traversed the country us btningers. to go
to any section of the country and bo re
ceived with that comradeship which
only a true soldier knows how to extend.
Jn order that this stale of affairs and
this condition of prosperity shall con
tinue , it is necessary that the different
yearly sessions of the National corps
should be participated in by its'mcm-
bere with ono common spirit paramount
toall othe's , and that is tno develop
ment and liability of the order. To this
end all our energies should bo tended
and our motto should be always to put
the order above tbe individual.
"It is expected at our session lhat the
official occupying tny position should
make such suggestions to the delegates
as are in his opinion desirable , and 1
have jotted flown eome few _ which 1
think would tend towards th'e general
food of the uuion , if adopted , and which
submit for your consideration. The
report of the exceptive conduct of the
offica is submitted in different docu
ments and will come up at the proper
time. 1 ipcommend that , the titles of
the gnrrit-oa officers bo changed in some
manner so as to more nearly conform to
the present titles of the national officers.
Tbe sensible action taken by the last
convention in abolishing the relative
rank which was formerly connected
witn thediffoient national officers has
been a source from which wo have ob
tained much public confidence , and 1
feel that the adoption of similar titles
for the gnrr'wm ' officers will be more in
harmony with the action taken hereto
fore und bo a bsnoQt to us. "Wo should
also make same arrangements for fuita-
blo devices to bo worn by r.ll the past
ofllcers of the order , by the national
officers or those of the garrisons , as
there is no t revision at jirwent by which
a comrade , who has bon through a
term in any chuir. may be recognised
by his uniform , badge or any device
alter lea ; me office. 1 would itlfio sup-
fjebt that nn article composed of sections
sufficiently comprehensive to decide any
question ais to tfie subject may bo placed
in the constitution providing for courts
martial , with a proper schedule of pun
ishment for different offenses. Also that
< > niters of the national corps , when vis-
itlng gun hens , unless vis-iiinp cffloia lj
or in M < mo manner connected with then
otilcial capacity , should bo recognize : ]
by the gnnison which they uro a rnein-
bor ol as a cumrndool the order , and noi
a national officer. The badpe , cap de
vice and lapel button of the order have
been secuied to us by United Stutoi
patents for a txjriod of throe and one1
half year ? . It was thought host tc
do this , as under other circumstance :
an individuru. whether a member of the
order or not , hud a j > erfoct right t (
make the t.arne. There should also b ;
au article placed in thi > oonstitutio :
which would 1 ow the proper officials ,
for proper cause , to suspend the ciiHr-
ICM of giirrit-ous. In order that a complete -
pleto record and roster of all msmben
mi < ; ht bo had , every application foi
tno m be rnh Ip in tbe g-arrison snould bt
made > n duplicate ; the original to I *
retained bv the garrison and the dupli *
cato to bo forwarded to headquarter :
for entering in the general record book.
"I ulhobfiievo that this orgauizniion
having Ik-corno -national Institution
bhould hail from the capital of the couu
try , thus acquiring a legal nationa
Btording. that wo should cease to ba
come & riomloa of the state of Ohio

belle \o that the events of the pas

nmJ a more epditious conduct of thi
l > us ntu-s in the -liflerent wjclious of tin
oountry , wh ch now have to be naudlei
br hcadjuarUM. I believe that th
constitution , as it relate * to the office
of u&Uoaa. ! u'ljuUnt &nd natioaal
t.houd bo changed. The na
tional adjutant's office should ba made
the heart of the organisation. Kvery
item of businefs should "be conducted I
through that office. AU snpplie * should j
be f.cnt from there , and the duties of the
nutional paymaster should bs simply
of n finnnrisl nature. Tha natioonl ad
jutant s office should l > e provided wilh a
sufficient amount to pay for office rent ,
typewriting , postage nnd other ex-
tlenses , and the incumbent should be
given a sufficient salary to allow him to
give his whole time to the business of
the order. This i < all that at present
occurs to my nrnd to mgcesl for your
consideration There ire many other
matter ? which rhotild probably be
touched upor. , but 1 understand that
they nro in the hands of different dele-
pales who will present them to you in a
more detailed manner than is posslb'.e
in this brief address.
" 1 ha\o only to sav in conclusion , gentlemen
tle-men , that 1 trust wo will enter upon
our work actuated by a firm purpose of
enacting suitable laws which will
strengthen the foundation already laid ;
that all Individual likes nnd dislikes ,
all individual embitions or the like shall
bo subordinate in this convention to the
one purj > ese of the welfare of the order ,
and that the results of our deliberations
will bo BO successful as to meet the ap
probation of our comrades unil confi
dence of our fellow citizens , nnd of that
lasting character which will still direct
the Ropular Arraj nnd Navy union in
iti upward course 10 bocom6 the great
est and grandest institution outside of
the government in thest-lTnitea Suites. ' '
Pfst Comniander-in-Chief Renkert ,
the first commander of the union , was
then introduced and spoke briefly upon
the success that the organisation has
haJ , and was very enthusiastically re
ceived.
The committee on the state of the
order , to which was referred the address
of the national commander , reported
favorably on all suggestions made except
that referring to supplies.
Captain Charles Ii. Stone of Boston ,
was- elected chairman , and the conven
tion resolved itself into a committee of
the whole.
Under the bond of new business , the
convention directed the national com
mander to call the attention of the sec
retary of war to the subject of appoint
ing ordnance sargeants from the artil
lery arm alone. It was claimed that the
chief or ordnance has lately mude regu
lations governing the appointment of
ordnance sargeants that practically ex
clude non-commissioned officers of the
cavalry and infantry from receiving
those appointments.
The endowment corps project was not
acted upon except to order the printing
of the sumo , and authorize its distribu
tion to the garrisons for study.
The constitution nnd general law-
were amended in several instances.
The Dond of the national paymaster
was increased from * 1,000 to 5 ,000 , rind
his salary raised from 4100 to $400. The
bund of the national adjutant was in
creased to 83,000 , and his salary fixed at
& 1,00 ! . By direction of the national
corps , the national adjutant's office will
remain nt Columbus , O.
The national commander sent the fol
lowing telegram to Commander-in-
Chief Palmer of the Grand Army of
the Republic , then in session at Wash
ington , D. G :
"The members of the Repular Army
and Navy union , consisting of veterans
of the regular army and navy during the
Mexican war , the war of the rebellion ,
and on the frontier of the United States ,
send greeting to their comrades of the
rand Army of the Republic , wishing'
hem a pleasant session , with manv like
sessions. "
A grand parade took place on the third

better during one week's intercourse ,
w s reassuring for the union every
where ; cheer ? were given each delegate
as they started lor their homes from
the Hotel Benedict ; the best of good
feeling prevailed , and hands were
shaken on parting with n warm and
sicctre feeling.

Idea succcsts itself. The incidents are not
so much outward and objective a > they are
Inward and subjective. Tbo humor and

and tbo cause , at the same time ,
of the fanta-ilical character of the

There will ba a season of real good fun
comtrencine with today's matinee , when
BarnejFercason and one of the strongest
organizations In the neid of farce-comsdy
will present at the Farnam btroet theater
farce , ' 'McCarthy's Mishaps , " a nlfiy that
has been seen here .many times ana which
has always succeeded In arousing the most
pbicuro risibilities. Theater-goirs are fa
miliar with the funny situations , amusing
incidents , laughable climaxes und witty dia
logue which depicts admirably tbe wit end
drollery of the Celt , tbo fun
being basea pnncioaliv , as the title
suggests , on the mishaps of two
convivial Irishmen. The title role is a char
acterization which allows all possible scope
for the peculiar mannerisms , odd eccentrici
ties and grotesque conception of mate-up
which Mr. Fenru-son nrorokea merriment
with. He is seconded by James F. Post , a
comedian of note , who is always natural and
clever. Charles H. Stanley , Habert Darris ,
talentea players , are also in the cast. Miss
Lizzie Conway , a well known delineator of
Celtic roles , has a part suited to her abili
ties and Carne Behr , a pretty
and popular soabreue. U a prom
inent member. Marsuente Ferruson , ivho
has created a great deal of comment through
out the country by her wonderful contortion
dances , and remembered as having created
somewnat of a sentaUoa hero last season , is
still with the company. IJelanr and Debtt-
tnpnt , an importation from France , render
selections from crsnd"and comic onera both
in French and English. James Bnttin , who
is known us the swoet-tonod warbler ,
and the best of the la.o J.
K. Kmmet imitators , is sure to
prove very entertaining. Richard 1'erru-
son. a precocious youngster and America's
youngest comic singer , has a new budget of
songs. Bertio Con way and May .Ashley in-
troanco a dance which is both novel ana pic
turesque , Barnev Fenruson in his laugba-
010 creations has many new trick * to offer ,
while other specialties of all Descriptions , in
cluding songs , dances , choruses and musical
interpolations , are introduced by the com
pany. Tbero will be a Wednesday maticoo.
"The Harvest Moon , " 'ie beautiful
roiiiitic crincay drarcu which has bees
plarinp at Boyd's theater for the last three
nlgnts , and which closes tonight , takes its
na.no from the old English Harvest. Moan
Inn , where the action of the plav takes
place. Although the Martin ft Booker
company , which is plaving "Tbo Harvest
Moon , " has nut received the pattoaa e
they deserve here the companv bus been tbe
recipient of the most flattering neivspaoer
notice * lor its unusual excellence. Miss
Louise Hial and Harry Booker , the com
edian , both well remembered by the
public , tbe one as tbe leading acirets in
Palmer's -Mim the Penman" company ,
tbe other as Dickey Dials in tno "The Stow
away , " asvell at artists of estaolisned
fame in other roles , are in the company ,
therefore such a combination coa.d cot fail
to give an admirable performance.
It must bo confessed that it is difficult to
treat seriously such pieces as ' AontBiSdget's
Bal > y. " but tbere is no occasion for the least
anxiety in tbe matter , fcr suca concoctions
are not intended to be taken in tbe cioiet nna

And if a company of merry , pretty g.rls who

to IS.OvKJ bushels each annuallv
Chris Smith , Portis : P. H Kenyon , Cor
inth ; John Cross. Portis : David Snyder ,
D. J. Rice , W. E. Willis , Bruno Schneider.
Hcrry Bronst and John Bllde.Kill Creek ; \V.
H. Smith , Osborne ; J.V. . Hahn , Bloomington -
ton : Daniel Barb , Alton. Any of the above
will furnish facts in regard to wheat gi ow
ing to all inquirers.
Osoorne county is a gr at corn as well as
wheat producing county. The year Issy was
the greatest corn vcar in tne history of the
conntv. In that year there were raised over
3TOOK)0 bushels of corn tn Abe county. Tne
following year , 1W , tbe corn crop was very
light , as it was cenerally ihroachont all the
surplus corn-growing steles. But the next
year , J yi. was a goodcorn season and tbo
average yield of corn per acre in Oiborne
county was about fifty bushels per acre.
Robert Maxwell of Yoxall postoflice gath
ered G3J bushels off six acrps , and in 1 59 he
had eighty-five bushels per aero on tne same
land. David Kaser of C Tirt pcrttofflco bad
seventy-two bushels per acre. Conler Bros.
of Cbevenne postoftlco raised over 10,030
bushels" and fed over 3M bead of cattle.
Osborne csunty Is a ano SIOCK county , end
more than 13.030 head of cattle were" fed in
the conntr during the -past-year. Tbe farm
ers are devoting more-nttenticn , time and
money to raising blooded : cattle Jind thor
oughbred horses than ever befora.
Osborne countv is not an unsettled county
without the advantages of good schools ,
churches , toxvns , markets and railroad facil
ities. Tbere are about 15,030 people in the
county. There are stvea railroad towns in
tne county. Oiborne City , with nearly 2,000
population. Is the connty seat. Doivns has
about 1,200 population and is a railroad divi
sion town for three divisions of tbe Missouri
Pacific railroad , and has railroad repair
snops located there. There are 120 schools
in tbe county , and over 140 teachers em-
cloyed therein. There are churches of all
aenomlnations throughout tbe connty. There
are four first class country newspapers in
the county. The county is well supplied
with banks and mills. There are all tbe
necessary institutions cf civilization to make
a happy anc prosperous community.
The value of land is still verv low , to low
In fact that one crop will mora than pay for
it. But prices arft already raising and tbo
value of { rood farm land in northern Kansas
will be oouble in a year what it is cow. Had
it not been iorthe wailinrs of tne calamuv
statesmen and their followers , who aave ma
ligned tne state ana dote all possible to drive
immigration and capital from the state , tne
value of property n ould be fully 25 per cent
nigber todav than it is. Tbo farmers of Kan
sas nre not poor , nor are they in dancer of
goinir to the poor house or losing their farms.
The farmers of Kansas are worth more today
than ever before. Twenty years ago tte
greater part of the state was unsettled ; the
buffalo an Indians were its only claimants.
Tbe men who settled Kansas were poor , very
poor , cid unable to own propertv elsewhere ,
so they came to KSLSBS vrhe.-o "Uncle Sam"
bad land to give to tbu tonic-less and land
less. More than 200,000 farms. amour-Uus
to over 30.OiJO.000 acres of land , nnd compris
ing three-fifths of the entire area of tbe
state , have been given to tne farmers of the
state of Kansas. Then they were poor.
without monev or friends save tbe repub
lican party. Now. bv the beneficent pro
vision of laws passed by a rcpuolican con-
grcsf , they have good faims ana maay of the
farneM are out of debt nnd are becoming
hankers ana money lenaers. Tbe peaple of
Kansas are more prosperous today than over
before in tbe history of the state. Good
farms can bo obtained at 10 tu $10 per acre
ana nul pay fcr themselves ivita tbe pro
ceeds of one coed crop.

Soap
"Beauty is but skin-
deep" was probably
meant to disparage beau
ty. Instead it tells how
easy that beauty is to
attain.
"There is no beauty
like the beauty of health"
was also meant to dispar
age. Instead it encour
ages beauty.
Pears' Soap is the
means of health to the
skin , and so to both these
sorts of beauty.
All sorts of stores sell
it , especially druggists ;
all sorts of people use it.
