periences of Mr. and Mrs. Fitch Smith,
who celebrated their golden wedding an
niversary at their pretty little home on
Prospect street, Council Bluffs, lest Sat
urday. They were married an hour after
Mr. Smith enlisted In Company D, One
Hundred and Fourth Illinois volunteers,
at Ottawa, III., on August 24, 1862, and
the waiting train carried the recruits to a
distant military camp, where they re
ceived the brief training necessary to
qualify them for valiant soldiers In the
union armies. The kisses exchanged at
the railway station were the last that the
ardent young lovers , epjoyed until the
close of the war, three years later, for
Mr. Smith was with the army of the
Tennessee, the famous fighting organiza
tion of Orant, Sherman and Dodpe, where
death or disabling wounds cave the only
furloughs sought by the soldiers. Mr.
Smith was in almost every one of the
more than 100 battles i fought. ,by, that
army, was with Dodge- and Sherman
throughout the Atlanta campaign t.&
on the famous march to the sea. The
hurried wedding on the day of the enlist
ment was the culmination., of 'St years
of courtship between Mr. Smith arid Mlse
Anna Taylor, and on the ; dato of the
marriage the bride was 23 and the hus
band 24. No greater heroism was dis
played by the soldiers on'the battlefield
than that of the young girt, who gave
more than her life to her country.
At the end of the war Mr. Smith re
turned, vigorous and strong, but covered
with the scars of many wounds, to claim
Ms loyal bride. For a number of years

Wilson Says Schools
Should Be Used More
Often for Meetings
SEA GIRT. N. J.. Aug. .-Neighbor,
hood consultation and a more extensive
use of school houses for gatherings
where public opinion might be conserved
were things Governor WHn advocated
today In hie speech at the Monmouth
County fair at Red Bank, N. J.,
After a series of conferences the gover
nor motored to Red Bank In the early
afternoon and was cheered aa he entered
the fair grounds.
"There is one thing that I have been
very Interested in in recent years in this
country," he said. "You' know, I used
to be a schoolmaster and the interesting
thing about the schools of the United
States is that the United States makes so
limited a use of them. They are public
buildings. They belong to the community.
They furnish ideal pjaces in which to
assemble and discuss public affairs.
"There is a certain class of politicians
that dreads nothing as much as that the
neighbors should get together and talk
things over because the minute you begin
to talk things over you begin to make that
most powerful instrument that exists in
any free country, I mean public opin
ion, ' It you. once gather public opinion
into, nuclei, Into heads, into centers, then
something is going to happen with regard
to politics Itself. ' . ,
"I used to think when I waa 4 boy that
you could tell an honest man by looking
in his eyes, -but I find you cannot I have
looked in some eyes that ' seemed very
honest and they turned out to be the eyes
of a rogue and you repeat that experience
a little while until you get to be about
say ES years old, and then you don't allow
appearances to Impose on you. Tou want
to know a man's table of contents. Tou
want to know what is in him and then
When you have found what is in him you
want to discuss it with the neighbors."

them Off with a light punishment in re
turn for a "squeal."
, The lawyer assured them this was their
one chance to escape the extreme penalty
of the murder charge against them, ac
cording to report and that they probably
could get off with five years each. The
gunmen then authorised the lawyer to
negotiate terms with the district attor
ney, t . '

ot hundreds ot persons, 14-year-old
Chester Betts, son of Bert N. Betts of
Flint, was accidentally Caught by the guy

tangled and hurled him to his death. He
crashed against the roof of a barn and
was still alive when spectators reached
him, but he soon died.

section of the press.
WASHINGTON, Aug. Jl-That En
rique Maza, the reporter who attacked
Hugh Gibson, American charge d'affalrs
of the legation in Havana last Monday
was merely a tool in the hands of Cuban
plotters who are antagonistic to the
United States, was the opinion expressed
here today by Senor Matln-RiverO, the
Cuban minister.
The State department late today was
informed by the American legation at
Havana of the attacks that have been
made by Jk portion of the Cuban press
upon Mr. Gibson and upon the American
contractors concerned In the case. The
officials declared that these articles
Were disgraceful and while they were
not prepared at the moment to announce
their purpose, it was evident that some
strong representations are to be made
to the Cuban government against this
treatment of an American diplomatic
officer.

Lumbermen's Code
of Ethics Described
SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. JL-The lum
bermen's code of ethics as expressed in
the reciprocity Agreement between the
retailers aad the manufacturers was. the
subject of, Inquiry in today's hearing ot
the government end-trust suit against
the Northwestern Lumbermen's associa
tion. Victor H. Bookman, formerly sec
retary of the Pacific Coast - Lumber
Manufactur rs' association, testified his
association had signed the agreement
when it 'was adopted by the trade, but
that it was never observed by the manu
facturers. Correspondence between Mr, Beckman
and the secretaries of the retail asocia
tion, introduced in evidence, showed the
manufacturers complained the agreement
was a one-sided affair and worked to the
benefit of the retailers without being
of any service to the manufacturers.
Among the new provisions of the reci
procity agreement was one which said:
"Manufacturers jhouM not sell to par
tics who advertise to furnish lumber to
consumers at large or who solicit mail
oi ler business." .
Other sections dealt with similar regu
lations, the closing paragraph reading:
"It is considered contrary to the ethics
of the trade to sell to a firm or cor
poration, whose members or stockholders
are an aggregratlon of consumers, whose'
efforts are to produce lumber for con
sumers at wholesale."
