For the last twenty-four hours thousands have been pouring in from every part of the compass un- til it is estimuted there were be- tween 12,000 and 15,000 people in the city to-day. Tuesday's trains brought thousands and the hotels were 60 crowded that hundreds had to content themselves with cots. This morning’s trains swelled the erowd of veterans greatly and the of- ficers of the associetior said that the ‘attendance was the largest in its history. There was a notable absence of congressmen, senators and noted speakers, but many state officials, including Secretary of State Lesueur, Register of Lands Robert McCul- loch and railroad commissioner Jno. Breathitt was here. Last night and early this morning »|the veterans had nothing mapped out for them to do and there were many pleasant meetings between old comrades and half forgotten ac- quaintances. Among the old comrades present were Colonel “Hi” Bledsoeand Gen- eral Joe Shelby. The latter did not come until this morning and the old fighter received a very warm and en- thusiastic welcome. Many of the veterans here fought under General Shelby during the war and they were more than anxious to greet their old commander. For a full hour this morning he stood on the side- walk in front of the Hotel Mitchell unable to move fifty feet during the entire time, so dense was the crowd that flocked around him. One of the most pleasant meeting between old comrades was between Dr. Samuel Jones of Clinton, and John Boone of Arkansas—a nephew of Daniel Boone. They were mess- mates when they fought under Gen- eral Price during his vigorous cam- paign, but they did not recognize each other when they met by chance in a physician's office this morning. One word about the war led to an- other and at last recognition came. Dr. Jones, {who is more than 70 years old, was so affected by the meeting that he embraced his old messmate and soon both were in tears. They were inseparable for the remainder of the day and their faces ibrightened as they recalled each succeeding'ncident of their life in the war.

THE ONLY EXCLUSIVE ‘HARDWARE IN BUTLER. the encampment is being held, was taken up. The position of honor “| was yielded to General Joe Bailey G. A. R. of this city, whose 200 members marched at the head of the procession. Following them were the Henry county, Sixth Missouri, Seventh Virginia and oth- er veterans, 500 strong. the St. Louis delegation, headed by Kuehn’s band, and the rear was brought up by Shelby’s brigade of more than a hundred. It carried the Shelby veterans back a quarter of a century when their old commander gave the order for them to march, reminding them of the days when they followed the Missouri general into the thickest of the fight. General Shelby was mounted on a horse that had a history. It is 33 years old and was riddenall through the war by John Yokely of Nevada, a member of Shelby’s brigade. Even the saddle and bridle were worn through the war and photographs “| uf the old brute taken to-day found aready sale. Behind General Shel- by rode a negro known as “Old Mose” who fought on the confeder- ate side in the war. At the camping ground the veter- ans found an old time barbecue feast awaiting them. Just beyond the rows of tents, cattle, sheepand hogs were roasted by the score over the blazing logs in the big pits. Bread and potatoes were served by the bushel and coffee by the tub. It took two hours to feed the throng. When the feasting was over the veterans were ready for speechmak- ing. They assembled at the pavil- ion on a knoll overlooking the lake in the beautiful park, and after a brief address of welcome by C. T. Davis of Nevada, had been sespond- ed to by President Bannerman, Mr. Frank Galennie of St. Louis return- ed the greeting extended. He was followed by Judge T. J. Portis of St. Louis, who during the reunion for the past ten years has never missed an opportunity to urge the erection of a confederate soldiers’ home. JUDGE PORTIS’ GRAND NEWS. Judge Portis said that with the men who actually fought in it the war ended at Appomatox, but the politicians had since been keeping it up. He then turned to his favorite topic and announced that he had just received a check of $1,000 from Sen- ator George Hearst of California, for the proposed ex-confederates’ home. In the letter with the check was the word that while not in the service himself, Senator Hearst felt proud of the record of the soldiers from his native state and helda warm sympathy and sincere admira- tion for them. Senator Hearst was born in Franklin county, his parents being common farmers, but at an early age removed to California, where he accumalated his immense wealth. In the letter three good old fashioned rebel yells were pro- posed for Senator Hearst, and after | Judge Portis remarked with a laugh | that they were too far away to be! dangerous, the cheers were readily | given. Next was | plemented by a statement from , Frank Galennie of St. Louis that the ninth congressional district and $2,500 additional had been promis- jed. | tion in each congressional district | to raise money for the home. This was concurred in and dozens pro- | posed to open subscription books. ) B.C. Nichols of Saline county, | who served in the Thirteenth Mis- souri cavalry, followed with a speech on the united nation which was cheered to the echo. Judge DeArmond, nominee for congress in this district, spoke for- cibly of the heroism of the confeder- ates. RELICS OF THE WAR PRESENTED. It was then announced that Secre- tary of State Lesueur had for dis- tribution several relics recently found in the archives of the Missis- sippi state treasury. They were pieces of old Missouri scrip, and by a singular coincidence Mr. Lesueur himself signed the identical pieces for Governor Claibourne F. Jackson in New Orleans during the war. They belong to members of the Sixth Missouri, and the amount of each person was as follows: Captain F. K. McKinney $324, Lieutenant E. M. Blewett $169. Major J. P. Vaughn $15, Lieutenant E. D. Mur- phy $58, Captain A. Gling $55, C. L. Parish $45. The concluding speech of the af- ternoon was from General Jo Shelby whose appearance caused great ap- plause. He said the ex-confedere ates had been aiding in healing the rupture between the north and the south and now they were one and the same people and intend to ree main so. The northern people were magnanimous, they would make laws for the whole country and people would displace politicians who try to raise through legislation the old feeling between the north and south now dead and buried. He eulogized General Grant in the highest terms and told his hearers to advise their boys to follow the flag that Lee sur- rendered to. Here the stars and stripes were unfurled and waved out in the great crowd and prolonged cheering. General Shelby continued his re- marks in this same strain, saying |that the nation would find none quicker to defend it than the people of the south. THE COUNCIL'S PROCEEDINGS. . The council of administration met this afternoon and adopted a reso- lution to erect the ex-confederates’ home as soon as possible. It was decided that the home should be located in the county offering the best inducements. Lafayette coun- ty at once offered $10,000 in cash, but the site will not be selected un- til other counties have made bids. Reports were made to the council |showing that the association had $10,000 on hand.

He was | born in Kentucky in 1807, moved to Vernon county in 1856, enlisted in Colonel Walker's regiment, C. S. A., in 1861, and was in Texas at the time of Lee’s surrender. Merit Wins.

Ashland, Wis., Aug. 19.—Three boys—James and Willie O’Brien and Frank Gallagher—Sunday afternoon launched a small boat, and had pro- pelled it with a pair of paddles to a point three quarters of a mile from the shore, when sudden violent storms (for which Lake Superior is noted) struck them. Theylost their — paddles, and the boat began to fill with water, Jim and Frank, aged re= spectively 8 and 10 years, jumped into the water on either. side of the — boat, and each of them putone hand on the gunwale, paddling with the other, while Willie, who was only 7, bailed the water out with his hand and hat. Night came on black and stormy, and for sixteen hours the. boys swam. They called for help time and again, but their voices. were lost in the roar of the sea. About 4 o’cock in the morning the boys drifted past a light, which they thought indicated a residence near by. When they learned a minute later that it was a vessel they were in despair, but battled,on until late in the morning, when at a point 19 miles out in lake Superior they were sighted und picked up by a passing schooner.

Thousands of people are slowly poison- ing themselyes, weakening their hearts by the use of tea, cottee, tobaceo and alcohol.
