With Impressive ceremonies the monu

Republic, th Spanish and Philippine wars,
and a large concourse of citizens.
' Rain Interfered somewhat with the latter
part of the exercises and drove many of
the crowd at the cemetery homewards In
a hurry, but th program was carried out
as arranged.
' Early yesterday morning the surviving
members of the Fourth and Twenty-third
Iowa regiments began assembling In the
city and on arrlvsl were escorted to the
Grand hotel, the rendesvous for the two

by the members of the local corpa and
Wall McFadden's drum corps to Grand
Army hall, where lunch was served by the
women of the Relief corps.
Her comrades who had not seen - one
another for many years met to talk over
the battles they had shared In and In this
manner the time waa spent until the bugle
csll sounded for the formation of the pro
cession to the cemetery.
March I'nder Old Flag;.
The column formed on Baylies park,

of the post marched F. M. Howard, color

At the cemetery the exercise Were held
In Soldiers' circle, in the center ot which
stood the monument, covered for the time

speakers occupied a platform erected for
the occasion. When General Dodge an
nounced that the exerclaes would be
opened with prayer by Rev. O. W. Snyder,
pastor of St. John' English Lutheran
church, an Immense throng of people was
crowded around the burying ground, hun
dreds being unable to get within hearing
distance of the speakers. The exercises
bad barely begun, however, when threat
ening clouds In the sky Intimated rain and
many at once hastened home. "
Following the opening prayer General
Dodge spoke as follows:
General Podge's Speech. v
My Comrades. Friends and Citlsens: We
meet here to honor and commemorate a
comrade whom I . have known probably
longer and better than anyone here present
and one very dear to me. It Is not my In
tention to speak to you of him I paid my
tribute to him In official reports that are a
matter of record and within the year, but
before hla body waa found, wrote my rec
ollections of him that were published In
the January number of "The Annala of
Iowa." There are others present who will
pay eloquent tribute to hie memory.
It la a great pleasure and satisfaction
to me to see so many of his comradea,
friends, citlsens and achool children prea
ent and I wish to Impress upon them the
lesson that this day teachea. It is thirty
nine years today since our comrade fell
In battle and after long search hla com
radea have rescued hla remalna from the
field-of-battle grave and planted them here
and erected thla simple but appropriate
monument to hla memory, proving that no
matter how aubordlnate the rank of the
soldier whose loyalty to hla country de
termined him to defend It, that hla acta
and hla services have never Been forgotten,
and to these young people who are here
before me, let me assure them that If ever
their country calls it should be not only a
dtuy, but a pleasure for them to respond,
as our comrade. Kinsman, did. and they
like him -will be remembered and honored
and If he could apeak to you here he would
aay to you that above all things, ''Loyalty
to one'a country la one of the citisen'a
first dutlea. It ia the law of both God and
man," and ahould never for one moment
be forgotten. (
I wish on behalf of all comradea, of the
citlsena, of the frlenda and scholars, to
thank moat cordially Lieutenant J A.
Straight and Jease Prultt for their labor
of love which reaulted In locating and
aendlng the remalna of Colonel Kinsman to
hie home, and I wish alao to thank the
firm of Seeley A Long of thte city, the
manufacturers of this simple but beautiful
monument we have erected in this appro
priate spot
The shaft ha wound around It the star
spangled banner, the banner that was car
ried aloft In the celebrated charge at Black
River Bayou of that brave and gallant
Twenty-third Iowa infantry which, led by
Colonel Kinsman, won a great victory.
Kinsman laying down hia own life upon
the enemy's entrenchments. .
;As the general eloeed ths flag was pulled
down from ths monument aad It stood re
vealed to the Immense crowd, the band
playing "Th Star Spangled Banner," with
the Dudley Buck quartet, eomprteed ot L
M. Treynor, C. B. Altcbison, W. 8. Rlgdon
and J. H. Blmms, leading ths singing.
: Despite ths solemnity of the ecoasloa
th veterans could not refrain from ap
plaudlng when tho monument was unveiled.
Emmet Ttnley then made th address of
tho day. saying; la part:

Today our city mourns and rejoices.
Mourns for her dead son and rejolceo In
th glory of hi death. With solemn rev

heard the swful thunder of war and who
eyes have never witnessed the dreadful
scenes of such human conflicts, are poorly
prepared to meet the requirements of oc
casions of this character. Words from the
Inexperienced so lamentably fall as to be
merely an apology for a more appropriate
meenger.
What Is the meaning of this ceremony?
Merely an expression of respect and grati
tude of the friends and comrades of Colonel
Kinsman? I,et ua Impe that no one will
leave this sacred spot with such an Idle
thought. Far better to have left the bonee
of the gallant Kinsman to complete the
assimilation with the soil sanctified aa the
spot of his glorlojs rtah than that his
burial at home should furnish the occa
sion to Indulge such a display of. unpard
onable vanity. This shaft, endurable aa
human skill can construct, yet but tem
porary as compared with fame's eternal
record, stands for the loyalty, the devo
tion, the gratitude, the liberality and the
Ratrlotlem of our people. It Is Colonel
Incmans monument. It Is a loving ex
pression of the gratitude and remembrance
of his comradea and friends. Yet it pro
claims that, even In these days of extreme
commercialism, our country demands our
highest endeavor and most loyal devotion.
It proclaims the security of American
patriotism. It proclaims the eternal conn
dence of -our people in the constitution
and the perpetuity of the union. It pro
clalma the lasting loyalty of Iowa and her
people for Old Glory, which Kinsman loved
and for which Kinsman died.

'Lteeotenant Straight's Eulogy.
Lieutenant J. A. Straight of Washington,
D. C, -who with Jesse Prultt of Wlnterset,
Ia., located tho grave of Colonel Kinsman
upon the southern battlefield where he met
his death thirty-nine years ago, delivered
the eulogy.
After sketching the career of the subject
of his eulogy from his birth In the province
oi Nova Scotia under British rule to his
connection wth the late D. C. Bloomer ia
the law business In Council Bluffs, be said:
When the great shadows of the terrible
civil war came upon us in 1861 and the
intelligence was flashed to the excited and
loyal people of this city that Sumter had
been fired upon, knots of men gathered
upon the one street of Council Bluffs,
whispering to each other, fearing lest list
ening friend might differ from friend,
should they proclaim their loyalty and
all hoping that the report would prove
false. A young man of stalwart frame
and. clear blue eye emerged from the of
fice of D. C. Bloomer, one of the old-time
land marks of Broadway, and announced
In the moat positive manner that if the
men of the south had fired upon Sumter
he was ready to go forth and defend hla
adopted country with hla life, if need be.
In a few hours a company of men was en
rolled and General G. M. Dodge was
elected captain and our hero one of that
company. Afterward this company became
the nucleua of Company B of the Fourth
Iowa.
As we turn for a moment from this mil
itary history Of the man we rvvara and
f today seek to honor, let us think 'of him
aa a new compatriot. Both under the ln-
nuence ana inspiration of a foreign coun
try and flag, taught by fond parenta to
revere the name of their sovereign. It
would have been but natural that this
young man should hesitate in doing the
thing he thought waa right. Hla nature
was to act upon the impulse of his heart,
and hia heart was patriotic to the core. He
loved America for what it promised to
the , young citizen. Patriotism with him
waa not an idle dream, but a stern re
ality, a fixed principle In which hla whole
life was to be a part. He believed his
adopted country waa worth saving and he
waa ready to do hla part in that saving.
To him there was but one duty one plain
path to follow, and while, with others con
versing on the portent of the news and
the direful consequence, of a civil war he
turned Into the office, took down a mall i
flag which hung there, returned to the
pavement and while waving It to the breeze
began calling upon volunteers to Join him
In. defending that flag against all would-be
destroyers. 'Twas thus he was baptised
into the vast loyal army of patriots 'twas
thus he became an American by second
birth. He waa born again to go forth to
do and die for hla beloved, yet adopted
flag and country. He waa a born soldier
with all that the term Implies, and yet a
tender-hearted man.
Following a short address by J. W. De
weese of Lincoln, Neb., who served under
Colonel Kinsman In the Twenty-third Iowa,
the exercises were brought to a close by
the band playing "America."

(From a Stiff Correspondent)
DES MOINES, May 18. (Special.) Th
Board of Control and Executive council held
another conference yesterday afternoon in
regard to the temporary arrangements for
the School for the Deaf at Council Bluffs,
The members ot the board and the state
architect had Just returned from a week's
tour of the state visiting other Institutions.
The matter had been allowed to rest for
a week, while members of the council were
considering what Is best to be done.
During the week a large number of mem
ber of the legislature have visited Des
Moines and have consulted with Governor
Cummins In regard to what ahould be done.
There has been much talk of an extra sea
slon of the legislature to make an appro'
proprlatlon for the school and to begin the
erection ot permanent fireproof buildings
In the place of th burned buildings. Many
of th legislators who have been In th city
have expressed agreement with this pro
gram and member of th Board of Control
have been assured by other legislators
whom they have met In the state that this
would be agreeable to them. But the fact
that the legislature has already appropri
ated far beyond the Income of the state
ha caused hesitancy.
The executive council, composed of the
governor, auditor, treaaurer and secretary
of state, has at Its disposal for the two
yesrs only $36,000. The board wss In
formed today that only about $25,000 ot
this sum could be set apart for the erec
tlon of buildings at Council Bluff and that
the state architect was called In to see
what could be done with that sum to pre
pare buildings to keep the school open.
After long conference with the executive
council, the Board of Control asked for
time In which to consider what can be done
with $25,000 In providing temporary quar
ter for the School for the Deaf. They
have asked Superintendent Rothert to come
here from Council Bluff for a conference.
It wa definitely decided not to call a spe
cial session of the legislature.
Decision Favors Tramps.
The supreme court ha under considera
tion a motion for a rehearing In the case
of Johnson against Chicago. St. Paul, Mln
neapolls at Omaha Railroad company, from
Sioux City, being a caae In which Johnson
was Injured by being thrown from a mov
lng train at South Sioux City, Neb. He
sought to recover damages and the au
prems court at the January term decided
he wa entitled to damages for his injury
even though it wa true he had twice been
thrown off the same train and knew the
danger he was subjecting himself to. The
court held that even though he wss a tres
passer his life should not have been en
dangered.
Judge Thomas Wilson now appears before
tho supreme court and asks for a rehearing
on the ground that If the decision Is to
stand as the law, then railroad companies
will not have the right to put tramps off
tralna In motion and they will be wholly
at the mercy of the tramp.
Tho caae wa argued at length orally by
the general counsel of the Omaha road
who came bers from St. Paul for that pur
pose, and who declares the decision In. the
case to be one-of th most sweeping over
delivered by this court.

MASOrERADrftG I MALES ATTIRE.
Forty-Three Women Who Hare at
Varlon Times Posed as Men.
Within a year six women hav been dis
covered in America alone who have uc
cessfully masqueraded a men, have goae
through a legal form of marriage and even
posed as the fathera of families. Upward
of a score of similar cases have come to
public attention recently in different part
of the world, report the St. Louis Repub
lic. There have been forty-three instances
of women posing as husbands within the
last ten years. One medical authority
claims that one woman In every 1,000 Is
a victim ot this peculiar mania.
Two new instances have been added re
cently to the amazing' list of women who
have lived and died disguised as men. In
both cases the women had been "married"
and had reared and educated children.
"Mr. William Howard." really Alice C.
Howard of Canandalgua, N. Y., who died In
her home, surrounded by her family, on
March 22 last, leaves a unique record. She
had lived with her "wife" continuously
since their formal wedding, performed forty
years ago. Her marriage certificate dec
orated the walls of her home to the time
of her death.- She left three children, of
whom she professed to be very fond.
In the case of George Green, who died
recently in Petersburg, Va., after mas
querading for sixty years as a woman, a
new light is thrown upon the family rela
tion of such a union. The Green woman
had been "married" for thirty-five years.
She was English birth and had worked at
many forms of manual labor requiring both
trength and courage. Several years ot her
life were passed In the mines ot Pennsylvania.-
She died at the age of 74, leaving a
widow. She had been regularly married
by a Roman Catholic priest.
' Many New Yorkers have not entirely re
covered from the chagrin of discovering
the real sex of Murray Hall. Here was a
character widely known, active in affairs,
a local politician of prominence, the last
following in the world It would seem for
such an enterprise. She carried on the dif
ficult business of politics for years without
raising a suspicion, drank and smoked with
the "boy" and wa an excellent Judge ot
pretty girl. She left a "widow" and an
adopted daughter 25 years old. The most
careful search failed to throw any light
upon the Hall woman's mysterious motives.
Within a few weeks of Murray Hall's
death still another case of this nature, the
woman by chance bearing the same name,
attracted local attention. Mis Carolina W.
Hall, It will be remembered, wearing the
dress of a man and accompanied by a
"wife," died suddenly on a ateamer bound
for New York. This Hall woman was a
native of Boston, where she was well con
nected. According to the confession of the
"wife" the two had traveled together all
over Europe without attracting the least
suspicion. The Hall woman' family were
aware of the masquerade and deeply de
plored It, but had never been able to dis
suade her from her course.
There Is pfrroably no more remarkable
case of such deception lasting for a period
of many years than that of the tamou
Chevalier d'Eon." The Chevalier was a
woman, but not until her death at the age
of 72 years, after being almost continually
before the public, was her secret discovered.
She became prominent in the court of Louis
XV, held; several publlo offices and was
finally sent as the king's diplomatic agent
on an errand of great Importance to th
court of th empress ot . Russia. Her In
fluence upon publlo affairs In France was
Important for half a century. Perhaps,
aftsr all, the most astounding evidence ot
the comparative commonness of such mas
querading Is shown by the army records of
such cases. Many ot these women have
made excellent soldiers. Sergeant "Frank"
Wayne, a woman whose real name was
Frances, rose to be an officer In the' United
States army and was killed in battle In
1862. Another. "Franklin" Thompson of
company F of the Second Michigan, who
was really a Mrs. Seelye. served for several
years and had the reputation of being a
good soldier. "Charles" D. Fuller, com
pany D of the Forty-sixth Pennsylvania,
and a Mrs. L. N. Blaylock ot the Twenty
sixth North Carolina and several others
were discovered to be women during the
civil war and were discharged from the
service.
An Englishwoman aa "Christian" Cane-
nagh, enlisted in the army In the last cen
tury and went to Holland. En was known
a a brave soldier and Is said to have ac
tually fought a duel with a superior offi
cer. On her secret being discovered she re-
luaioea wun me regiment aa cook.
Dr. James Barry, an . English armv
surgeon, was discovered to be a woman
but not until she had served at Malta and
at ths Cape. She once fought a duel with a
soldier who called her a woman. There
have, besides, been a great many cases of
women who have donned mala attire and
enlisted In order to follow their husbands,
though these properly belong to a different
class.
Many of those masquerading hav been
great "lady killers." Msny who were In
th habit of crossing th Atlantic a few
years ago will recall Mrs. Anna Talbot,
who tor years served as steward on ono of
ths great Atlantlo liners under ths name
ot "John Taylor."
The story of Mrs. Christian Walsh, who
fought la ths wara In Flanders, Is still a
tradition of ths English army.
In Hungary, twenty years ago, a woman
under the name of Felix Francolne, be
came an officer In ths army and was famous
as one of ths bravest soldiers in the army.
Her eex waa discovered only at her death,
but aba was, nevertheless, burled with
military honors.

the adventures of these "men-Women.'
Several titled people have been numbered
among, them. Ten year ago all Europe
was talking about the notorious Countesa
Carlotta May of Austria. - Dressed as a
man, the countess frequented 'the cafes,
smoked and, drank with men and entered
Into their sports. She traveled widely and
published a book of poems. She finally
became engaged to marry the daughter
of a school teacher and definite plans wera
made for the wedding. At the last mo
ment the countess threw all her friends
Into amazement by calmly marrying a real
count and appearing In women'a clothe.
Similar to this case Is tbo one, nearer
home, "Tony" Teesa, who was employed
in a bat factory at Yonkers. She was sup- .
posed by all to be a man, and especially
by many of the girls employed In th
work.
There died In England recently a woman
aged 103 years, who had masqueraded for
forty years as a man. For aeventeen yeara
she kept a tavern n ear London, Th mas
ter of an English almshouse, who had occu
pied the position for seventeen years, was
also found to be a woman. Her sex waa '
revealed by a pauper, who chanced to be
brought In, who turned out to be her long
lost husband, and who at once claimed
her as hi wife.
MORE BEER IX GERMA5T.
People Drink a Third More Than Thar
Did Twenty Yeara Ao.
We think In our country that we ' ars
quite proficient beer drinkers, says the New
York Sun, but It will probably be long be
fore we consume per capita th quantity ot
beer that is Imbibed in derma ny. Th more
beer the Germans drink th mor they want,
apparently, for during th past two decade
the consumption of this bsverage per capita
bas Increased nearly 60 per cent. In other
words the Germans In 1881 consumed
eighty-nine quarts for every man, woman '
and child In tbe country, while In 1901 th
per capita consumption had Increased to 131 '
quarts, or thirty gallons a year. W drink:
a good deal less than half as much beer,
per capita, our consumption In 1900 having
bsen thirteen gallons tor each inhabitant.
Of course, Bavaria la th greatest beer
making part of Germany, for there Is where
the finest hops grow. In 1891 Bavaria pro
duced about a third of all th beer made la
Germany, or ttO quarta per capita at Its
population. Wurtemberg brewed 100 quarts
par capita, Baden 170 quarta and Alsace
Lorraine eighty-five quarts. Tbe Germans
Import rather mors beer than they export,
