But two cities entered into competition, Cincinnati, 0., and Chattanooga, Tenn, The committee recommended that the annual meeting be held at Cincinnati, There were many things to be urged in favor of Chattanooga, but inasmuch as the dedication of the national cemetery takes place there next fall it was feared that tho reunion of the Soclety of the Army of the Tennessee would prove a side attraction. The commit- teo further recommended that the date for the reunion be fixed by the executive commit- tee at a time that will enable members of the soclety to attend not only the reunion at ti, but the dedication at Chattanooga. The report was adopted. SHERMAN MONUMENT FUND, Colonel Howe of St. Louls reported the con- dition of the Sherman monument fund. The commission having the funds in charge has collected and has on deposit at St. Louls the sum of $10,243.70. Congress has appropri- ated §50,000 and the Grand Army of the Re- public and other societies have collected something over $4,000, making the total amount now available $64,644.75. It is de- sired that this sum be greatly Increased dur- Ing the ensuing year. Under section 3 of the constitution all members of the Soclety of the Army of the Tennessee are privileged to designate some relativo to succeed them as members after their death. Under this provision the follow- ing designations were approved by the so- ciety: Jahn Macy Walcott, son of €. arl:s Walcott, Josephine B. Bennett, daughter of J. L. Bennett.

The following resolutions were offered by Colonel Jacobson Resclved, That of the Army of son of G. L. the thanks of the Soclety the Tennessce are hereby tendered to the citizens of Council Blufts, the home of our president, for the generous entertainment and hospitality provided us. Resolved, That the thanks of the Society of the Army of the Tennessee are hereby tendered to the citizens of Omaha, and es- pecially to the Nebraska commandery of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion, for their hearty and cordial co-operation with the citizens of Council Blufts in making our re- union of this year a memorable one for thorough and hearty enjoyment. The resolutions were unanimously adopted. A supplementary resolution was added thank- ing the members of the Second Infantry band from Fort Omaha for its musical contributions to Wednesday evening's gather- ing at the opera house and also the drura corps. Colonel Jacobson then stated that while he did not Include in his resolution a vote of thanks to General Dodge, he wished to express personally, for himseif and every member of the Soclety of the Army of the Tennessee, the gratitude of the organization for his efforts in making the reunion a success. Colonel Jacobson's remarks were enthusiastically applauded and the ladies present waved their handkerchiefs. It was a touching tribute to General Dodge and that gentleman could hardly restrain his emotion s he thanked the soclety for its expression of _commendation. Colonel Ogg, from the committes appointed last year to promote the profect of converting the battlefield of Shiloh into a national park, reported and offered the following resolution, which was adopted: Resolved, By the Society of the Army of the Tennessee, in annual meeting at Council Bluffs, la., October 3 and 4, 1894, That we heartily favor the conversion of the Shiloh battlefleld into a national cemetery and park, to remain forever under federal control; And we hereby petition the congress of the United States to appropriate all moneys necessary, and to take all proper action for the accomplishment of that end. HEARD FROM HENDERSON, General Dave Henderson of Towa was called to the platform to receive an enthu- siastic greeting from his old comrades. He said he didn’t expect to make a speech, and in fact, was glad that he was even able to be present. Day before yesterday his sur- geon had peremptorily ordered him not to undertake the journey. Yesterday, however, he wade up his mind to come, and so he told the surgeon to g0 to hell. This re- mark was greeted with laughter and ap- plause, in which the ladies present heartily joined. General Henderson said he didn't Propose to apologize to the ladies present for using so emphatic a_declaration, for he sald, they were members of the fraternity and knew exactly what the expression meant. General Henderson spoke warmly in favor of the proposal to convert the battlefield of Shiloh into a national military park, and told of the efforts made by him to pass a bill through congress for that purpose. He believed that bill would become a law at the coming session. Colonel Hamilton of Ilinols offered a ver- bal resolution to the effect that the Soclety of the Army of the Tennessee express its strongest condemnation of the action of the postmaster general in changing the name of Appomattox to Surrender, General Hickenlooper objected to the adoption of the resolution, not because he objected to Its purport, but because he feared that it might be censured, as having politi- cal aspect. This belng the manifest sentiment of the soclety, the mover of the resolution asked and obtained permission to withdraw it. The soclety then adjourned sine die, as far as the butiness sessions of the reunion were concerned, ny T# RASKA LEC UN OF HONOR Brilllant Reception at the Parlors of the Millard Yesterday. The reception tendered thé Army of the Tennessee, its friends and all Loyal Legion- ites, by the Nebraska commandery at the Millard in Omaha yesterday, from 2 to 6 o'clock, was a fitting climax to a memorable meeting of veterans. At 2 o'clock a special train on the Omaha & Council Bluffs motor line landed the members of the well known army organization at the main entrance of the "Millard, and, preceded by a fife and drum corps, the men of ‘65 marched up stairs, where an abundance of good cheer had been provided by the members of the Nebraska Loyal Legion. The rooms were festooned with the na- tional colors, plants were scattered here and there, waliters were present to merve catables and drinkables, and the parlor floor given up for three hours to the notables who are members of the association, There were songs in endless number, some of the veterans in the course of the afternoon arousing great enthusiasm by the singing of stirring choruses which they had learned to sing in fleld and camp. Jules Lombard, although not a member of the association, was induced to sing several of his favorite s, and it foubtful {f “My Coun- try, 'Tis of Thee” was ever heard to better advantage than yesterday afternoon, sung, as it was by the well known basso, while Sher- man, Hinken Cooper, Grant, Belknap, and other eminent lights Jjoined In_the choru The efforts of the local members of Loyal Legion feel that they had fallen among friends were crowned with signal success, and it is worthy of record that not a single hitch marred the day, the guests leaving with en- thusiastic praises of the hearty manner in which they were welcomed to Nebraska soil The assemblage was notable fn the emin- ent personages present. While the mili- tary arm of the nation was represented by such men as Brigadier Generals 0. 0. How- ard and John R. Brooke, Colonel Stanton of the paymaster's department, Colonel Bates of the Second, with aides and orderlies in the national blue flitting about, the law- making branch of the government was pres- ent in the persons of Senators W.

Very few but the invited guests from abroad and the members of the society could find places among the 200 who sat down at the banquet tables spread in the dining room and the ordinary at the Grand hotel. The room was beautifully hung with national col- ors, while at either end hung a banner bear- ing the emblems of the Thirteenth, Fifteenth and Seventeenth Army corps, of which the Army of the Tennessee was composed. One of these banncrs was of silk and the other had the design worked out in flowers of varied colors, The tables were a tempting sight, with the monotony of their cut glass and china broken now and then with a big bouquet of roses. Four long tables extending the entire length of the room were provided for the guests, while another table across the south end of the room was occupied by the master of ceremonies, the speakers, and other more or less famous guests, After the viands had been disposed of Gen- eral G. M. Dodge, acting as toastmaster, rapped with his gavel and the audience was partially quieted long enough for the Dudley Buck quartet to sing “Hark, the Trumpet,” one of Buck's masterpieces, which was exe- cuted faultlessly, General 0. 0. Howard was then announced, and delivered an address on “The Battle of Ezra Chapel.” Captain Charles McKenzie followed with a speech on the subject, ‘' *61 to '65,” in which the days of the rebellion were graphically described. Miss Mary Logan Pierson sang a war song, capturing her hearers, as usual, after which Major 8. H. M. Byers, whose muse has not been altogether idle since he penned the now famous lines of ‘‘Sherman's March to the Se; read a poem. Other toasts were: ““The March to the Sea,” by Miss Pearson; “‘States and United States,” by Gen- eral Wagner Swayne; “Unarmed Warriors,” by G ral A. Hickenlooper; “Fill up the Rank: by General D. B. Henderson. A recitation was given by General J. H. Stibbs, Miss Pearson and the Dudley Buck quartet of Council Bluffs furnished the music, and frequent encores showed how well they were recelved, ONLY ONE LITTLE RIPPLE, Regular Army Ofcer Who is Strangely Ignorant uf the Army of the Tennessen. 1t Lieutenant Colonel Barber had chanced over from Omaha yesterday he would have bad a warm reception by the survivors of the Army of the Tennessee. He was the cause of the only annoying incldent of the reunion here, and all the trouble arose be- cause of his unfortunate letter-writing, In appolnting various committees to insure suc- cess for the meeting here it was deemed to be courteous, as well as expedient, to recognize the officers of the regular army located so near. General Brooke was among those appointed on one committee, and he very courteously responded with assurance of doing what he could to make the ocs casion & pleasant one.

BARBER. varicly of expression jit 2 GTPER, ONLON There was a great when the nature of the correspondence be- came known, but there was not much va- ciety in the sentiment felt. Lieutenant Colonel Barber was dicussed and cussed in every corridor and corner; though no official recognition or act was taken. -“Don't the fellow know what decency is?” “It can't be that he never heard of the Army of the Tennessee.”” “What does he mean?" “He's a blame fool.” *“What object has he in in- sulting the Army of the Tennessee?' Such was the talk, mingled with opinions still hotter, and not always couched in parlor par- lance. General Howard said he did not know what to make of it. Being a reguiar army officer himself, and known as the only surviving commander of the Army of the Tennessee, he felt that it was almost a personal insult. The annoying feature of the affair was that when one army officer expressed himself in any such manner, it was natural for some to feel that the other regular army officers felt the same way. This was most unrighteous, When pressed for a possible explanation of how Lieutenant Colonel Barber could eclaim not to know about the Army of the Ten- nessee, General Howard replied with a good deal of vigor: 1 can’t account for such a statement, except on the theory that he lied about It. He surely must know about the Army of the Tennessee.” General Dodge was also warm about Lieu- tenant Colonel Barber's letters, but he ex- pressed himself as of the opinion that the Detter way was to ignore the letters and the letter writer. He thought them be- neath notice. It is understood that the matter will mot be allowed to drop, but that steps will be taken to quietly but effectually make the offending officer thoroughly conversant with the fact of the existence of the Army of the Tennessee. General Howard says he will call the attention of General Brooke to the letters, but does rot intimate what he thinks the result will be. Yesterday some of the members of the soclety were amusing them- selves framing a letter to Barber, giving in childlike, simple language a brief history of the war and the part taken by the Army of the Tennessee, RECEPTION TO MRS. LOGAN. From 3 to 4 o'clock in the afternoon a reception was tendered Mrs. John A. Logan by the Woman's Relief corps in the Grand Army hall on Pearl street. Mrs. Camp- bell and Mrs. Spencer escorted Mrs. Logan and Miss Mary Logan Pierson to the hall, where they were met by the other members of the committee, Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Weath- erbee and Mrs. Ayres, and an informal and highly enjoyable meeting followed, Mrs Logan made a few remarks in her graceful manner, at the close of which she was presented by Mrs, Ayres with a beautiful bunch of flowers in behalf of the corps, Miss Pearson also made a short talk and sang a couple of war songs, in which all those present joined. Refreshments were served. Mrs, Logan left on the evening train for St. Paul, the home of her daughter, Mrs. Tucker. The puplls of the High school were given an opportunity which was much prized by them, of becoming acquainted:with some of the notables brought here by'the reunion. Gen- eral G. M, Dodge, Colonel Fred Grant, P. Tecumseh Sherman, General 0. 0. Howard and Governor Frank . Jackson visited the school at the morning session by invitation of Superintendent Sawyer and Principal Eastman, and each made some remarks in which the lessons of patrfotlsm were taught more effectively than theéy could possibly be by the inauguration (of the custom of having the school children compelled to salute the flag each morning. As General Dodge and General Howard stood before the young people as rppresentatives of the flower of the country 'thirty years ago great enthusiasm was arogsed, which manifested itselt in loud applause, | And when My Country, 'Tis of Thee, rang out from 300 young and vigorous throats the effect was electrical, and it was hard to tell whose eyes bore the strongest suspicion of mois- ture, the old generals wlo had carried the flag when it was all a man's life was worth to do 80, or the young people who had been accustomed to think of the flag as some- thing all-powerful. The reception committee has covered it- selt with glory throughout the reunfon Complimentary remarks have been heard on all sides for the way In which the visitors have been made to feel at home, The other committees did thelr share of the work equally well and contributed (o the success of the entertalnment. And while the others are recelving praise, Secretary Oliver Anson should mot be forgotten, On him the burden of looking after all the de- talls fell, and he managed to spread him- self out over the entire field and become as Dear omuipresent as any one man could, Gas cooking stoves for rent and for sale at Gas office, COUNCIL BLUFFS LOCAL NEWS Jobn E, Hill Wag o Very Poor Bubjeot for o Highwayman, POCK-TS W:RE EMPTY TO START WITH Edule Stevenson, n Lumber Yard Employe, Arrested for Assaulting Him — Un- certain Whether the Motive Was Rovbery. John E. Hill, a plasterer, was on his way 10 his home in the southern part of the city Wednesday night at a late hour when he was assaulted by a man who he claims was Eddie Stevenson, employed in a lumber yard in that vielnity, The assault was made while Hill was walking along the railroad tracks between Seventh and Eighth streets He was stunned and when he regained con- sciousness found his back was severely hurt, he thinks by striking on the edge of a tie Whether the act was done for the purpose of robbery he does not know, for his pockets were as empty before he was hit as they could possibly have been after a thorough search had been made.

Webster, to the office and left it standing in the hallway on the second floor, as had been his custom. When he looked for it an hour and a half later it was missing. Officer Covalt, Wwhen told of the disappearance, recollected that he had seen some one ride off with a wheel which he brousht out of the door of the Woodbury buflding, but there was nothing unusual about the fellow's appearance, and he had not the slightest idea what he looked like. The bicycle was a Temple special, with wood rims, Kirkpatrick saddle, with round case for tool bag, but no tool bag, with a pleco of leather cut from the center of the saddle, CoPPs ol The King -2 *¥ Ten verfect Substitu r.

Goodman, under whose direction it was given, has been drilling the participants in their various dances, and the resuit was a smcoth and finished performance such as is seldom witnessed in a home talent affair. Th. Electric dance, the Saltarella, La Coral, French Gavotte, Irish dance, Neapolitan Fisher dance, and the Spanish dance were es- pecially well executed, although all the dances were pretty and graceful.
