VETERANS OF B9TH

MEET AT J

ACKSON

Annual Reunion of One of Indiana's Best Known Regiments Today. TO THE FRONT DURING WAR

HISTORY OF THE ORGANIZATION SHOWS A RECORD TO BE PROUD OF RANKS SHATTERED BY SHOT AND SHELL.

Many grizzled, war-scarred veterans of, the Fighting Sixty-Ninth Indiana Volunteer Infantry, which was organized in this section of the state in. the Btorray days of V,2, are nolding a reunion today at Jackson Park. Comrades who have not seen each other for years are there and again they are living over the past, telling tales of desperate fights, bloody chargea and weary marches. Richmond veterans served in this gallant regiment. 'which has a rlorious war record. The regiment

was enlisted at onld Camp Wayne. HISTORY OF 69th. Civil War Losses Greater Than Any Other Indiana Regiment. The S9th regiment was organized at Camp Wayne at Richmond in July and August 1862. The men were from Wayne, Union, Fayette, Henry, Delaware and Randolph counties, the old fifth congressional district. William A.' Dickie of Richmond was

appointed colonel by Governor Morton to recruit two regiments in the old fifth congressional district, and he recruited the 69th nnd the 84th. They were both quartered in old Camp "Wayne. As the 69th marched out of tamp, one thousand and forty strong.

possession of the quarters. Colonel Bickle did not go with the 69th regiment, but remained to finish recruiting the 84th regiment. Before Colonel Bickle had completd the organization of the 84th regiment, the 69th regiment had passed through the disastrous battle of Rich-

rmond, Ky., on August 30, 1862, and

those who were not killed were taken prisoners and paroled and soon after

wards went into parole camp at old Camp Wayne, where they remained until they were exchanged about Nov. 20, 1862, Thomas W. Bennett was, major of the 36th regiment and upon the resignation of William A. Bickle as colonel of the 69th, Bennett was appointed by Governor Morton to. that position on November 1. 18G2. The 69th regiment including one thousand enlisted men and thirty-six officers was mustered into the service at Indianapolis on August 19. 1862. The men were marched to the Armory and drew a thousand new Springfield muskets, knap sacks, cartridge boxes and canteens and then marched to the depot and took the train for Louisville, Ky., where they remained a few days

and again were loaded into box cars and sent to Lexington, Ky. Battle of Richmond. From that point they went to Richmond, Ky., where they stayed a few days, later entering camp ten miles ! south of the town. About 5 o'clock on jthe morning of August 30, they marched out of camp without breakfast and attacked the confederate army of Gen. Kirby Smith. The confederate army consisted of thirty thousand seasoned and well drilled troops, while the mlon army had but six thousand green troops. The 69th regiment had 'never had a regimental drill and disaster and defeat resulted. I The 69th regiment, in this battle ulthough new and untried made a etubborn fight. The loss was 32 killtad and 218. wounded. The paroled men and those who escaped, after returning to old Camp Wayne, went to Indianapolis, where they again received muskets and other equipments and Vere shipped for Cairo and Memphis.

Was With Sherman. The 69th regiment was with Sherman In the attack on Vicksburg in December and January in 1862-3. Gen. Sherman's army withdrew and went ip the White river and captured Artrnnana Pnst with 7 flrtfl nricnnuri;

The 69th regiment was also a part

of Gen. Grant's army during the Vicks burg campaign and was the first regi

xnent to march from Milliken's Bend

to a point below Vicksburg and hold

the; river until Grant's gun boats ran

the blockade of batteries at Vicksburg. Seventy-one Others Killed. At Port Gibson, May 1. 1S63 the

regiment opened the battle and lost 71

killed and wounded. The regiment was engaged in the all day. battle of " Champions Hill on May 16, suffering

Eeverely and on the next day partici

pated In the charge and capture of the rorks at Black River Bridge. It was

engaged In the two assaults on Vicks-

Tmrg, May 19 and 22 and sustained

severe losses. When Vicksburg sur-

Tendered the 69th marched to Jackson, Miss., and was engaged in the

seven aays siege and witnessed the

'capture of that city. From Vicksburg

the regiment went by boat to New Orleans and joined Gen. Bank's army

.nd marched 250 miles up the Teche

country to Oppolusas and then march

d back again to New Orleans and

shipped by ocean steamer to Browns

ville, Tex., where they lost 23 men tod two officers in crossing a neck

Of the bay. In April 1864. the local fcaen shipped to New Orleans and then VP the Mississippi and Red rivers to Alexandria, La., at which place they

Bank's army marched back to the

(Mississippi river where it went Into

camp and remained several months

8n December, 1864, the 69th regiment

gain shipped by river boats to New

Orleans and from there in ocean vessels for Dauphin Island, at the mouth of Mobile Bay, where it made a dash at Mobile, in order to release Wilson's cavalry that had "gotten into a pocket." , From Biloxi and Mississippi Sound, the regiment shipped to Pensacola, Florida, and in March. 1865, left Pensacola and marched through the pine forests to the rear of Mobile, where it participated in the siege and capture of Fort Blakely, which meant the fall of Mobile. The regiment had charge of the prisoners captured at Fort Blakely and took them in boats to Ship Island. The 69th regiment was mustered out of the United States service on July 5, 1865 with but 300 men surviving. During the months of January and February, 1863, while the regiment was in camp at Young's Point, on the river opposite Vicksburg, 103 men died of disease. The Adjutant General's report shows that the death roll of the 69th regiment was greater than that of any Indiana regiment.

iUMMI)' BILL" REMANDED TO JAIL

Awaits Further Investigation By the Sheriff.

"Bummin' Bill" Rinehart was remanded to the county jail this morning to serve a sentence of thirty-five days upon his plea of guilty to the charge of vagrancy. He was sent to jail, not so much for punishment, as to give the sheriff an opportunity to continue his attempt to learn something as to the identity of the man. It is the second time Rinehart has been sent to jail in this county. He served eleven days at Winchester and has been buffeted about from pillar to post He is not strong mentally and when enjoying his liberty chases about the country, sleeping in barns or straw slacks and begging food at farm houses. He is abusive and insulting and his two arrests have been the result of his improper actions at farm residences. When taken into custody Tuesday he wore only a pair of overalls, an old blue shirt and boots with the tops cut out.

No more interesting lecture has been delivered before the teachers than that of Jonathon Rigdon this morning. Mr. Rigdon spoke of psychology, not the misty hazy subject but the laws of the mind which the teacher has occasion to use every day. This was Mr. Rigdon's first appearance in Richmond. Most of the teach

ers who have heard of Rigdon's grammar from time immemorial expected to see an old man. They were surprised however, for the one time Danville professor Is in the prime of life and has a most pleasing personality. The speaker pleaded for a more general study of psychology by all men. The successful lawyer, the successful business man. the successful preacher are all psychologists. To know the laws of mind is to know human nature and that is essential to success. Speaking of diseases Mr. Rigdon said, "Most of your diseases are mental troubles curable without instrument or medicine. They can be reached through mental suggestion. I am not a Christian Scientist either. I got my information from the old practitioners, the men who have about run their courses and are ready to retire." Mr. Rigdon went into the reasons of dancing. He said that dancing appeals to the savage most strongly. As we become more civilized dancing will die out of its own accord. Teacher's Savings. Dr. Phillips spoke this morning on "Teacher's Savings and What to do With Them." He believes that first, mortgages are the best investment, good bonds the next best, and stocks the third. Mortgages are best because they pay the highest rate of interest. He admonished the teacher however to be sure that It be a first mortgage. Bonds are better than stocks because the interest for the bonds come first out of the treasury of the corporation. An issue of bonds is really a great mortgage divided up Into smaller parts so that it can be sold. The speaker condemned stock gambling and explained in detail the meth

ods of Wall street. In closing the speaker advised women to invest their savings in their own name. Often the wife lets her husband invest her money in his name and when he meets with business reverses it is all swept away. The sale of seats for the Gillilan reception and lecture last night was the largest in the history of the Chautauqua for a week day. Mr. Gillilan said that it was the largest audience he had ever spoken before. "I predict that in ten years no lnterurban car will run down Main

street. They , will all run overhead

the railroad tracks, thus using the

same right of way and protecting thelives of your citizens. If this predic-j tlon be not fulfilled you have less j sound sense than I give you credit , for." These were the words of Dr. i Charles Zueblin in his last address before the Chautauqua yesterday after-' noon. Dr. Zueblin spoke on govern-! ment and he handled tie subject In a ; masterful way. Rather than a coher-1

ent argument his address was a series j

of epigramatic sayings. Some of them were: "The average American is a part of anarchy. He does not believe in government. He dodges his public responsibility whenever he c?n." "Government is the administration of the public business in the interest of the common life." "The contrast of the rich and the poor of today is more awful than at any previous time in the world's history." "Any society which has poverty is corrupt. It cannot endure that poverty though it may have to endure it for awhile." "Nothing less than the greatest good of all is worthy 20th century ideals." "A democracy is a state in which every man is a free man. That is not true in America." "We are all subject to the capitalist and the priest when they ought to be our servants." "We will never be free until we have woman's suffrage. They have it in dark Finland, even." "We are not freemen even in art. The artists and the theater managers dictate what we shnll hear." "We are all oversnecializing today. The business man u esneciallv narrow. He cannot run even a charity enterprize economically." "Next to the gathering of the world's raw materials, transportation

is the greatest economic problem." All transportation ought to bo unified in the interests of the people. "The best thing that could happen

in this country would be the unification of al! steam and electric lines under one great head and run for the common weal." "Government control of railroads is the only, solution." Schools Abroad. "Schools and Schoolmasters Abroad" was the subject chosen by Dr. Phillips for his lecture yesterday afternoon. It was an interesting address replete with much information that was new to the Wayne county teachers. The speaker said that all over Germany there are two classes of public schools a class for the rich and a class for the poor. The rich pay tuition, the poor do not. No one who can pay thinks of sending children to a school that is free. There are no high schools in Germany as we have them in this country. Instead they have gymnasium or classical schools. The school term begins at Easter and continues with various vacations until the following Easter. They have ten months training in all. In the summer, school begins at 7 o'clock in the morning. Co-education as known in this country is not to be found in Germany. The girls do not attend the gymnasium, but have a higher training of their own. It stops however in the secondary schools as the German believes that woman's sphere is the "kitchen, her children and the church." The average of the German public school is higher than the average public school in this country owing to a more efficient teaching corps. However the best American school is bet-

ter than the best German school. Dr. Phillips gave an interesting ler mre this afternoon entitled "In ar About Old London." Dr. Phillips ha been "in and Pbout" the old Englis capital a great deal and knows it ways. Tomorrow at 10 o'clock, he will lec ture on "The Teacher out of h "Schoolroom." At 11, Jonathon Ridon president of the Winona assembi. and well known as the great gram marian will address the teacher.. Ai 1:30 Dr. Phillips comes with his last lecture, "The Story of the Heavens.' At 2:45 Lawrence McTurman. republican nominee for state superintendent will close the Institute with an address entitled "The State's Ideal for Teachers."
