Sham Battle Among Events Prepared for Entertainment of Veterans Next Month. Chattanooga, Tenn., Aug. 20 The program of entertainment for the 47th annual encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, to be held here Sept 15-20, is about complete, and it is one of the most atamauga battlefield, concluding at a city entertaining the union veterans. ■ Chief among the events is a sham battle to be fought between regiments of the regular army on Chicka maugua battlefield, concluding at historic Snodgrass Hill. This event has been arranged for the entertainment of the old soldiers, primarily; but it will be of interest to all visitors. The Chattanooga encampment association believes that it will be more enjoyable for' the, old soldiers, to make them the spectators of a sham battle rather than the actors. The most spectacular feature of the program will be the reproduction of the “Battle Above the Clouds” in fireworks. This spectacle, of course, will be staged on Lookout mountain, nearly 2,500 feet above the sea level and fifteen hundred feet above the valley in which Chattanooga is situated. It will be one of the greatest fireworks spectacles ever seen in the United States and will be visible for a hundred miles in all directions. Signal fires will be lighted every evening on Signal Point, north of the city, reproducing signal fires that burned there during the Chattanooga campaign in 1863. These bonfires will be plainly visible from the city, as they were during the war. Signal mountain can be reached in thirty minutes from the city by trolley cars and automobiles.

A collision between two passenger trains at Warner park, just east of the residential sections of the city, is another important number on the amusement program. Two passenger trains, going at the rate of forty miles an hour will col lide on a straight track in front of the spectators in a large grandstand. Warner park Is the largest children’s playground in the southern states, has a railway track run ning along one side of it, and is splendidly adapted in every way for the exhibition.

A steamboat reception and dinner to visiting officials of the G. A. R. will be an enjoyable event in the encampment The visitors will be taken tor an excursion by prominent people and given a reception on the Tennessee river. Hydroplane flights will also be given daily on the river during the encampment. Another attractive exhibition to instruct and entertain the visitors will be a model device reproducing the Panama canal. This model of the big ditch is large enough to permit the passage through a canal of a good sized, miniature steamboat. The purpose of the model is to show how large, ocean-going vessels will be floated through the Panama canal. There will be a number of regimental and brigade reunions during encampment week, of interest largely to old soldiers. Wilder’s brigade will hold a reunion, as will also the Army of the Cumberland. Many of the regiments that fought in the Chattanooga battle will hold reunions. Battlefield reunions are also being arranged by a special committee. These reunions will be for survivors of each battle fought here and will be held on the battlefields. The battlefields included are Chickamauga, Lookout mountain and Missionary ridge, ach field to have a reunion day.

Beginning Saturday, August 16, I will run an autontobile bus daily to Remington on the following schedule: Leave Rensslaer at 6:30 a. m„ from north side of court house square; returning to Rensselaer 10:00 a. m. Leave Rensselaer at 3:45 p. m, returning to Rensselaer 6:00 p. m. Fare each way, 75 cents. During the meeting at Fountain Park, special trips will be made at th% rate of SI.OO for round trip.

Remarkable Cure of Dysentery. *“I was attacked with dysentery about July 15th, and used the doctor's medicine and other remedies with no relief; only getting worse all the time. I was unable to do anything and my weight dropped from 145 to 125 pounds. I suffered for about two months when I was advised to use Chamberlain's Colle, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. I used two bottles of it and It gave me permanent relief," writes B. W. Hill, of Snow Hill, N. C. For eale by A. F. Long. - O A Classified Adv. will rent it

MONOPLANE FLIGHTS FOR REDMEN'S POW WOW

Local Aborigines Arrange for Most Popular Form of Entertainment Next Month. Two monoplane flights each day will constitute the biggest crowd drawing event at a 3-dpys* pow wow to be held Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Sept. 18, 19 and 20. A. E. Wallace and E. J. Duvall, representing the local tribe of Redmen, went to Chicago Wednesday and contracted with an agency to supply a monoplane and birdman for that occasion. The six flights are to cost $650 and the birdman is to remain in the air 15 minutes at each fight and to take some one up With him each time and for the extra man to make a parachute leap from the monoplane. Mr. Wallace and, Mr. Duvall did not return from Chicago Until early this Thursday morning, having taken a long automobile drive throughout Chicago with Mr. Wallace’s brother-in-law, after they had completed their business. They autoed until after midnight and took in all the parks, the popiilar drives and the city’s busy streets. They brought home a contract for , the monoplane and a French birdman and started negotiations for a number of free attractions. The Redmen are planning to make this event an important one for Rensselaer, as well as a big celebration for the noble redskins. The local soliciting committee has received much encouragement from businessmen in Rensselaer and already about S4OO has been subscribed.. This will be considerably augmented, and the local lodge expects to put up about S4OO, while ;he concession money will give them considerably more. Ip connection with the dally flights of the monoplane other attractions will be held. The flights will be made from the ball park, and during the afternoons the flights will be made at about 5 o’clock. While there will ae no charge to see the flights, there will be a charge for the ball games, which are to run independently, and admission to the park will be free after the ball game. During the time that the flights are being made there will be no events on the streets down town. • It is planned to run an excursion from each way to accommodate visiting Redmen, this being a sort of , official pow wow for northwestern Indiana. The dates are Sept. 18, 19 and 20 and it is hoped to attract the largest crowds that ever visited Rensselaer.

HUERTA STALLING ON MEDIATION PLAN

Says That Not* From President Wilson is Not Backed by the U. S. Congress. Matters are developing slowly in Mexico and it is difficult to tell way Huerta, the usurping president, is apt to jump. 'He blames all the trouble his country is having to the fact that he has not received recognition from the United States. The proposals of the Washington government to Huerta through Envoy Lind were as follows: First—Complete cessation of hostilities; second, that President Huerta resign in favor of a president ad interim; third, the fixing of an early date for the presidential elections, and fourth, that Huerta be not a candidate fat the presidency. The United States will hold to a firm policy of non-intervention, says President Wilson, and it is not probable that arms will be permitted to be sent from this country to Mexico, as that would simply create anarchistic conditions and extend the trouble. Envoy Lind is received cordially by Huerta, says the dispatches, notwithstanding claims from other sources that Lind’s visit is very undesirable. Niether Lind nor Huerta have judged from the position taken at the start and when the rupture will occur is not suggested by messages from Mexico City.
