The headquarters/)f the department of New York, Q. A. R., are permantly lo­ cated at the new Capitol, Albany, N. Y. Tbe Department of New JerseY, O. A. R , had 117 Posts represented at its last (twenty-fifth) annual encampment. Commander-in-Chief John Palmer has visited sixteen departments. Post No. 20, Aurora, will have quar ters in tbe Abbott building, Washington, for sixty members, during the National encampment. Department headquarters Illinois G. A. R., have been established at room 506, United States Express Building. The Columbian celebration takes place Oct. 11,12,13 and 14. It is intended, at least deeired, that all schools of the country celebrate on Oct. 12 in their school houses where they are accusomed to study. This should be the casein Illinois especially, for not our own people, but tbe people of foreign countries, look upon this State as being much nearer the World's Fair and celebration than any other State, not only geographically but in other respects as well. And the people, of this State especially should feel and take a personal interest in this matter. We soldiers are no nearer the National flag in loyalty and respect than the people generally, but we certainly are nearer in experience, where the full power of love, loyality, and courage was aroused and exercised in its defense." General George G. Meade Post, No. 444, Englewood, held a grand camp Are at Timmerman's Opera House Thursday evening for the benefit of the post relief fund. The Woman's Relief Corps aud camp of Sons of Veterans assisted the post. The affair was a grand success. Chisago. Colonel A. C.

He is announced as one ot the speakerscat the great reunion and camp- fire at Libby Prison on May 80 at Crown Point, Ind. George H. Thomas Post, No. 5, will hold an "open meeting" Friday evening, May 13, to which the members and their families are invited. Colonel A. P* Connolly will read a paper giving his per­ sonal experiences and recollections of the Sioux Indian war of 1862. A fine musi­ cal programme has also been arranged, in which professionals of much merit will assist. It is expected that prominent officials of the G. A. R. will be in attend­ ance and have a few words to say on matters of interest to all present. The Cook Memorial Association will bold a meeting at Grand Army Hall, No. 204 Dearborn street Saturday even­ ing, May 14, at 8 o'clock. U. S. Grant Post, No. 28 has, on the report of the committee on transporta­ tion by the Chairman, Comrade H. S. Dietrich, adopted the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad route to the National en­ campment next September. A special train of Pullman sleepers has beeu assigned them. Shermia's Haaorsns tide. The men who served with or under Gen. Sherman in any of his numerous and brilliant campaigns are now telling anec­ dotes illustrative of that wonderful per­ sonality that has made BO deep an im­ press upon American history during the third of a century. It was in the presence of his old army friends, when the civilian world was shut out, that he was at his best, and the flow of his spirits ran unchecked and joke and story ran into each other, sometimes at the expense of his neighbors and as often at the expense of himself. No conceit gave him more tipm that his Mead Go*. Howard wis a convival spirit, given to the bowl and kindred pursuits, whereas the hero of the one arm is the most temperate of men. It was this fact that gave point to the joke, and Sherman was never more happy than when he could corner Howard at one of their little Loyal Legion dinners and lecture him upon the errors of his ways. Perhaps Sherman never forgot a great practical joke which Howard unconcious- ly played upon him, back in the days When the union army was resting upon its arms at Goldsborough. Sherman paid a visit to Howard's tent, where neither wine nor anything more invigor­ ating than cola water was kept, AB luck would have it, Dr. John Moore, the medical director, propped into Howard's tent. Here was a man Btoman could depend upon in an emergency like this. Sherman gefce Moore the wink when Howard's back was turned, and said, "Doctor, have you a seidlitz powder in your quarters? I don't feel just right, and I know one would do me good." Moore had not supplemented a liberal eollege education by several years in the army in vain. He was equal toan^ drug clerk of New«York in his knowledge of the meaning of a wink. "A seidlitz po^sr, general? Cert&imj. Come right over to my quarters and I ean fix you out immediately." Gen. Howard sprang to his feet. "That won't be necessary, doctor," said he. "I have plenty of powders here, and good ones. too. I will get the genera one." Sherman had little desire and lees need foraseidihts just then, and he followed Howard to his feet. "Never mind," said he, "I ban get along very well without it" "No trouble all all," Howard ans­ wered, as he began to get the powder and the glasses ready. Sherman turned to Moore for relief, but that gentleman was busy in examining the landscape as an aid to keep his face straight. When that was accomplished, he turned about and gravely said: "By the way, general, I dont believe I have one about the premises, and you had better take the one Howard has prepared." Moore was something of a joker himself, and knew a joke when he saw one. Sherman was a soleier to the back­ bone and would not retreat in the face of an enemy. When Howard came up with the glasses, he bravely took them and swallowed the foaming stuff. But he never again complained of needing medicine when in Howard's tent. Half Rates to Omaha.

Hundreds of lady readers suffer from sick headache, nervousness, sleeplessness and female troubles. Let them follow the example of Mrs. H. Herbechter, Stevens Point, Wis., who lor five years suffered greatly from nervous prostration and sleepless­ ness, tried physicians and different medi­ cines wfthout success. But one bottle of Dr. Miles' Nervine caused sound sleep every night and she is feeling like a new person. Mrs. Elizabeth Wheeler, Lara­ mie city, Wyoming, who tritd all other remedies, declares that after three weeks use of the Nervine for headache, nervous prostration, etc., she was entirely re­ lieved. Sold by all druggists. Trial bottle free. • . , * FEARFUL AND WONDERFUL The Bible says, "man is fearfully and wonderfully made." But physiologists all concede that the most wonueriui part of man is the nervous system. In it are located the seats of life and mind, and the control of all the bodily organs. When the nerves ere destroyed the part is paralyzed. The flesh, blood and bones are as nothing to it. Derangements of the brain or nerves are the causes of headache, fits, dizziness, fluttering of the heart, sexual weakness, sleeplessness, neu­ ralgia, cold hands and feet. A free trial bottle of Dr. Miles' Nervide--the latest and most successful cure for these diseases What Thinking Men Have Said. "I am In favor of a protective tariff and internal improvements."--Abraham Lincoln. "An extensive domestic market tor the Surplus produce ox the soil is of the first consequence."--Alexander Hamil­ ton. "In the light of history and expe­ rience can it be possible that our fann­ ers will be deluded into accepting the policy of free trade? I cannot believe tt."--J. C. Burrows* "The rrcKtoT* farmer's 1-: . wiser than Mr. Gladstone's philosophy. The farmer knows that the larger the home market the better are his pricee, and that as the home market is nar­ rowed his prices flail."--JamesG. Blaina. "The greatest interests of an agricul­ tural, commercial and manufacturing nation are so linked in :its?r>r> tnjroKHor that no permanent caiiSfs of prosperity to one of them can opiltate without ex­ tending its influence to others."--John Quincv Adams. "Cipgress has repeatedly, and net without success, directed their atten­ tion to the encouragement of manufac­ tures. The object is of too much con­ sequence not to insure a continuance of their efforts every way which shall ap­ pear eligible."--George Washington. "The market follows the workshops That country which has its fields farth- frniw ifc *T»^i poor in proportion as the distance is great. The power and greatness and glory of our nation is due more to the observance of this principle than to all other causes combined."--Binger Herman. "Wlferi under protection American in­ dustries shall employ bread eaters suf­ ficient to nearly consume American cereals, then the farmer will no longer sell his grain at cost of production or less. He will escape the competition of the ryot and serf. His industry will be profitable -- his calling honored and truly independent."--Senator Casey. "In all that goes to make a nation great and strong and independent we have made extraordinary strides, in arts, in sciences, in literature, in manu­ factures, in invention, in scien­ tific principles applied to manufac- ture and agriculture, in wealth and credit, and national honor, we are at the very front, abreast with the best, and behind none."--William McKinley, Jr. "The republican party is a party of progress and of liberty toward its opponents. It encourages the poor to strive^ to better their condition, the ignorant to educate their children to enable them to compete successfully with their more fortunate associates; and, in fine, it secures an entire equal­ ity before the law of every citizen, no matter what his race, nationality or previous condition."--U. S. Grant. "Draw from agriculture the super­ abundant labor, employ it in inechan- ̂ ism and manufactures, thereby creating a home market for your breadstuflfc, ; and distributing labor to a most profita­ ble account, and benefit to the country will result. Take from agriculture in the United States six hundred thousand men, women and children, and you at once give a home market for more breadstuff than all Europe furnishes us."--Andrew Jackson. j "There is no subject which can enter with greater force into the deliberations of congress than a consideration of the means to preserve and promote the manufactures which have sprung isato existence and attained an unparalleled maturity throughout the United States during the period of the European wars; this source of national independence and wealth I anxiously recommend, therefore, to the prompt and constant guardianship of congress."--James Mad­ ison. t "There are few classes of workmen in many respects so thoroughly wretch­ ed as the English, agricultural laborers. They are in many respects so miserably poor that if they were converted into slaves to-morrow it would be to the in­ terest of their owners to feed them far better than they are at present. Throughout large agricultural districts not a single agricultural laborer will be found WilO Rarwl «n HltSCit 2£5 & week's wages. A life of toiling and in­ cessant industry offers no other pros* pects than a miserable old age."--Henry Fawcett. ! "We mctst not destroy our protective system, it has accomplished wonders. It has fostered our industries, built up our manufactories and opened our wil­ derness. It has elevated our manhood* dignified our labor and educated our people. It has made our valleys to laugh in their gladness, and, touching our barren mountain sides, has cauaeci 'the waters of commercial prosperity to i flow o'er all the land.* It has """*«•> the flag of our nation typify all that la great of human action, ail that ia grand of human thought. God only knows what it would do for ns if the democratic garty would only let it alone."--Hatlkaa The republican party Js now, aa tt always has been, the frfos^aiid de­ fender of the people's rights. The statement that it has been guilty of , class legislation is a statement unsup­ ported by facts. It has legislated for the people of the whole country; it la doing so to-day.
