ial tribute will be paid to the veterans of the Civil war in Richmond. All members wearing the little bronze buttons will be admitted , to . the grounds. Tomorrow ' has been chosen as O. A.

: CENTERVILLE, Aug. 23. The con
tlnuous rain Saturday changed the program and, place of meeting of the
Old Settler's of Wayne county, in
place of holding the annual picnic in the Maple Wood park, it was held in
the town hall, where the crowd assembled after the dinner was over. Of the 400 invitations Issued to the old soldiers of this county, responses were received from 187, and twentytwo were present. Add to Mortuary List. ' Caleb Harvey presided over the meeting and welcomed those present, especially the comrades who were asked to have their reunion with the old settlers In the future. The death roll was read and the name of Joseph E. Wood was added. He died in December, age 91. He formerly lived at Whitewater. Past Grand Commander Milton Garrlgus, of Kokomo, made the principal address. He referred to the Civil war, its causes, progress, its men and its losses. He gave many Interesting reminiscences and gave a fitting eulogy to Governor Morton and Abraham Lincoln. Miss Edna Johnson gave two recitations entitled "The Bean" and "The
Old Flag." Thomas Fagan gave a recitation entitled "Fifty Years Ago."
An interesting feature of the pro gram was the song sung by Dr. I. F,
Sweeney, of Milton. It was a song sung by many of the old soldiers in
the early "Sixties." The song was as
follows: Dr. Sweeney's Song. Noble republic, happiest of lands.
Foremost of nations, Columbus
ttands.
Freedom's proud banner floats in
the skies
Where shouts of loyalty daily arise.
Chorus : United we stand, divided we fall, Union forever, freedom for all,
To all our heroes, justice and fame. To all our foes, a traitor's foul name
Throughout the world our motto shall be, Long' live America, home of the free Our stripes and our stars, still proudly shall wave Emblem of Liberty, home of the brave. Should ever a traitor rise in our land Cursed be his homestead, withered his hand, To all our heroes, justice and fame, To all our foes, a traitor's foul name. Jesse Stevens and Thomas Jessup. in short talks, urged that in the future the old soldiers of the county - make their annual reunion on the same day of the Old Settler's. Officers Re-elected. - The present officers of the Old Settler's association were re-elected for the ensuing year. All the committees were also continued for next year.

FOR WAYNE GOUNTY
Claiming that it could be grown
anywhere and in any climate and that
it was more profitable in a iinanciai
way to the grower than any other crop raised in the United States. Congressman W. H. Murray of Oklahoma, com
monly known as "Alfalfa Bill," recom
mended the raising of alfalfa in
Wavne county in a twenty minutes
talk to a chautauo.ua audience.
Congressman Murray owns 1200 acres of farm land in Oklahoma, much
of which is given to the raising of al
falfa. He is familiar with every phase
of the subject and at the conclusion
of his . talk yesterday answered ques
tions made by persons in the audience
bearing on the subject.
TEARS AND LAUGHTER AT KINGS COMMAND
Dr. Byron W. King of Pittsburg, who delivered several speeches to Chautauqua audiences on ' Saturday and Sunday, closed his engagement here with a sermon before a crowd of approximately thirty-five hundred persons last night. - He was one of the most Interesting and entertaining speakers who have held the platform here this year. One of Dr. King's lectures runs on the order of an Ezra Kendall book, but the
Pittsburg university man has the advantage of the humorist novelist in that he preaches a sermon at the same time.
On moment he has his audience m
laughter and the next in tears. The tears of laughter mingle with the tears of compassion. Throughout all of his
lectures Saturday and Sunday ne toia innumerable funny stories, at the same time arguing for a broader view and a deeper appreciation of life.
ANY: ATHLETES ENTER CONTEST AT CHAUTAUQUA
The Chautauqua athletic meet will be held at the playgrounds' on Saturday ; morning at 10 o'clock and it is anticipated that there will be a large list of entries. Entry blanks will be ready tomorrow and may be had at the Y.'M. C. A. building or at the "Y" tent on the Chautauqua grounds, and at the playgrounds. - All entries must be in the night before the meet and any boy in the city may enter. The meet will be divided Into two classes. ,- Class B will be for boys between the age of twelve and sixteen and class A
will be for young men over sixteen.
In class B the events to be contested
are 50-yard dash, 100-yard dash, throwing a baseball, circling the bases and running broad jump.
The class A events will be running
high jump, running broad jump, twelve
pound shot put, 100-yard dash and 220yard dash.""-
There will be no Marathon this year,
as it is thought that the youth of the contestants makes it too- much of a strain on them and on this account it
was decided to eliminate it.

Y. M. C. and Lyman Ldeboult, assistant manager of the playgrounds, will have charge of the meet. It is hoped that this meet will be a larger one than, last year and in order to make this possible the boys and young men are urged to turn out in large numbers. Ribbons will be given to the first three winners in each of the events.

The crusade for the extinction of
liquor -within the borders of the United : States and the resultant annihila
tion of the traffic, will be the greatest
work for humanity since the birth of
Christ, Governor Patterson said.
In opening his speech, the governor reminded his audience that he had the advantage in knowing both sides of the "question, having at one time be-
f or humanity and God.
"I was a fast young man In a fast city. I played cards, followed the race course and sowed other oats. It happened , that I was never a drunkard. I looked back among my. companions of those days and I can't recall a single man who advocated, prohibition. '"You couldn't be elected to office unless you courted the support of the liquor Interests. In 1901 1 was sent to Congress after I had held the office of district - attorney.. Liquor was being sold in both wings of the capitol building, the wine lists in both restaurants were complete. There were 1,200 saloons in Washington.
"The sale of liquor in the capitol
building has long since ceased and their remain but 300 saloons in Washington. These will go at the next Congress. . "Where there were two prohibition states, there are now nineteen. Thirty states are ready to ratify the amendment which will destroy liquor. Congress Blocks Way. "The main difficulty which stands in the path of the crusade- for the abolishment of liquor, is Congress. A majority of the legislators favored the
amendment when it was last suDmuted, but a two-thirds' vote is required.

"It seems that Congress -must balk at the greatest evil which faces mankind. I hope if we do enter this war that we will do so as a non-alcoholic nation. -
"I know both sides of the question.
I know there are some men

"The liquor interests argue that we will interfere - with personal liberty. That is exactly what we intend to do. We seek to join law and liberty. I believe in organizing a strong, centra government, dedicated to liberty and no license, to the public good and not to private gain. "Just as we have stopped slavery, polygamy and limited the sale of narcotics, so will we abolish the sale of
