The G. A. R.

On May 17, 18, 19 the state encampment of the G. A. R. will be held In Richmond. The committees have been appointed, the thing is moving along In good shape. Encampments come and go leaving each year fewer men to walk in the procession and this will in all probability be the last of the encampments of the G. A. R. to be held In Richmond though we all of us hope what we kno wis not true. For an encampment of the G. A. R. is not like any other sort of convenlion of a business and fraternal kind. It is history the history of the nation come to life and stepped out of books though for that very reason few people ever think of it in quite that way. Kvery Memorial Day with its repetition of Lincoln's Gettysburg speech, its graves with the little flags stuck afresh into the iron holders above the graves sees the number of men who fought in the war for the preservation grow less. The man today thinks of the civil war as fought by men the type of man who with his bronze button stood for the word soldier in the eyes of the boys of America until they caught a' glimpse of the khaki uniforms in the Cuban war time. Hut the civil war was a boy's war on both sides. Boys shot each other down, boys full of the best blood and most splendid vigor of the North and South. Tho recent bringing to light of a set of photographs made on the battlefields during the sixties brings this home for all the fashion of the time to cultivate beards. So the young boys and girls of today can have a real and lively interest in the real boys of another period who fought to save their country and not in the fashion of simply reading about them. Though when they read, it is to be hoped that they will not skip the passages concerning Andersonville prison, nor the battlefield on which Lincoln made his famous Gettysburg addresf

Nor does it seem likely that Richmond will not take hold of this thing and push it to a creditable finish it is an honor to Richmond that the G. A. U. is coming hero. In doing this it is simply doing what Roosevelt once said: "Whenever 1 see a man wearing the bronze button in his coat I foci like taking of my hat to him."

LAGRAVEJVAS EASY Quickly Whipped by Champion, Ad Wolgast. (American News Service) San Francisco, April 1. Lightweight champion Ad Wolgast made short work of Antonio Iagrave last night, the local fighter's seconds throwing up the sponge after about two minutes or fighting in the fifth round when it was certain that Lagrave would not last the round out. Wolgast took command of affairs at the outset. In tho second round the champion almost brought the bout to a nuick ending by sending Lagrave through the ropes with a terrific right to the jaw and followed this by flooring his man for the count of nine. In the fourth round Lagrave took tho count four times and at this stage the ppectators loudly importuned referee Jack Welsh to stop the fight. The fifth round found Wolgast beating an almost hopeless fighter and realizing that the fighter could go no further, his seconds intervened and threw a towel in the ring. The men fought at 133 pounds ringside. Wolgast was an overwhelming favorite at odds of 10 to 4 and there were few ready to risk their money on Lagrave's chances. There was, however, some betting at even money that Lagrave would last fifteen rounds. NAME ADE FOREMAN OF KENTLAND JURY (American News Service) Indianapolis, April 1.

Miss Brooks will be followed, she says by four hundred of the seven hundred families of West Hammond. Bright and early Monday morning skids will be placed under scores of the cottages of West Hammond and they will be moved across the town line. There the town of Brooksviile will come into being. Miss Brooks and her followers saythat all tlieir efforts, even rioting, have failed to diminish the graft which, they declare, is throttling the town of West Hammond.

Catalina after having fought a dangerous battle with a devilfish which attacked them as they were fishing from a inotorboat near the island on Thursday. Fish were scarce. however, and there was no excitement until noon when Sheldon cried out that he had a wonderful bite. For some time the line came in easily, but when only a few yards remained the fishermen found that their combined efforts could not bring tho fish one inch nearer the surface. Looking over the side of the boat for tho trouble. Sheldon saw a long tentacle firmly glued to th side of the craft. While Price held the line, Sheldon attempted with his hands to dislodge the octupus from the side of tho boat and in doing so lost his balance and fell into tho sea. Price immediately loosed his hold on the line and a moment later a shout from Sheldon announced to his excited companion that the devil fish had got him. Another party of anglers came to (ho rescue. Sheldon was lifted into the boat with tho octupus still clinging to his limbs. A sharp knife loosened the creature's hold and the strange captive was proudly taken to Avalon.

Raven, a money lender, who was strangled to death with bare hands in his curiosity shop home at 1425 South State street.

Wagner Predicts National Will Have Great Seoson

John If. (Uonus) Wagner, writing on the 1911 baseball outlook says: j " Never since I have been playing pro- ! fessional ball have the prospects for a ! great season been better than now. Reports from all sections of the country indicate that interest in this grand game of ours is at fever heat, and everywhere fans are predicting great things for their home team. "This predicting business, however, is bad medicine. It has ever been the policy of the Pittsburg management to sidestep anything that might be poth construed into being a boast President Dreyfus and Manager and have been ultr-conser-Clarke are vative in their talk anent future pos - sibilities. and I believe they are to be commended for their stand. 1 have been asked to discuss the outlook for the coming season, but. for the life of me, I don't see how I can do so and be consistent. Should 1 criticize the several teams considered in the race for tho pennant Pittsburg. Now York and Chicago l would be acting contrary to what 1 believe is right. I know Pittsburg has a strong team this year, some of tho youngsters showing up exceedingly well. It is also plain to me that this talk about 'we old follows' going back is balderdash. "I believe T am going to have a good year, and I know Capt. Clark is trav eling as fast as lie ever traveled, lommy Leach has shown down here at Hot Springs that he isn't slowing up. This menu, then, that 'old fellows' are still on tho job. Overconfident Last Year "I said some time ago that our worst fault last year was overconfidet.ee; in fad, I believe 'twas that which lost us the pennant. This year I am certain things will be different.

There will be no overconfidenc and every player will have to be on the jump all the time. The so-called weak clubs have strengthened, and they will make tha going hard for all pennant contenders. Cincinnati has a rattling good club and the Reds may be in the running. 1 h.ivn't seen any of the other teams in action, but from what I can learn from the newspapers, they are all just a little better than they were last year.
