STILL KEEPS UP QUARANTINE.
Cincinnati, Sept. 7.—Muslo ball
aaaln packed to its fullest capacity to
night for the camp fire. As Governor
Plngree of Michigan was compelled to
take a train at 10:30 for Detroit, ha
vaa given the first place on the pro
gramme. The governor referred to the
mismanagement and destitution of the
soldiers. lie cited several cases of
abuse and suffering due to the delay of
“red-tape." and became vehement In
denunciation of such formalities at the
sacrifice to comfort, health and hu
man life. After citing a particular
cm. of bad management in the distri
bution of disinfectant!, he aaidr
“If Secretary —but Governor Pln-
gree never finished that sentence. He
could' not proceed and even with the
most persistent efforts of Chairman
Mellah, tho governor was unable to
utter another word. A voice In tho au
dience cried:
"Hurrah for Alger!”
The cry was then taken up In a bois
terous chorus.
Governor Plngree continued his ef
forts to resume, but only Inflamed the
audience more and soon shouts of
"Take him ofT.” "We don't want to
hear him,” and the like were heard
throughout tho hall.
The chairman made futile attempts
to quell the disturbance but thoso who
started the racket persisted In keeping
It up. The governor then retired. Gov
ernor Plngree was reading his speech
from manuscript.
After he had left nnd qiflet had been
restored Chairman Mellah finished the
sentence which the audience had re
fused to permit Governor Plngree to
read. It ran as follows:
"If Secretory Alger had been given
full power such things would never
have happened."
The hisses of derision were turned
Into cheers and repeated calls for
Governor Plngree, hut he left the hall
' and refused to return.
The great annual pageant of the
grand army was tho event today. The
veterans began assembling early for
the parade And were too tired for meet
ings and everything else after the
ranks were broken shortly' After 4
o'clock. Tho parade occurred under tho
brightest blue sky nnd with everything
in Ita favor, It surpassed all expecta
tions.
Borne men met during the parade
today who had never met alnro they
were mustered out. over thirty years
ago. Among the spectators were many
of the old Confederate "Morgan raid-
era," who crossed tho Ohio river and
foragod aO around Cincinnati and
throughout southern Ohio during tho
war. There were also many Confeder
ates hero who were with Gen, Kirby
Bmlth when he inarched over the Ken
tucky hills within sight of this city.
AS the boys In blue and thoso In gray
mingled they laughed over the raid of
Cincinnati, as well as that of Morgan.
With the demonstration today tho
series of festivities In almost closed and
the session of the O. A. It. and its aux
iliaries begin tomorrow.
It I# reported that Commandcr-In-
Chlef Gobln favors Shaw of New
.York for hla successor. As Shotts

n formldabls opponent to Shaw
the name of Gen. Daniel S.
Sickles is fresly used In that connec
tion.
The ladles of tho O. A. R. were In
session today and transacted only rou
tine business . In presenting reports
and appointing committees. Their busi
ness session or well as that of the
woman's relief corps will begin tomor
row. The National Army Nurses Asso-
rlstlon elected officers today. Mrs.
Ewing of Virginia was chosen presi
dent.
While there have been'many meet
ings of the blue and gray together this
week, the most Impressive was at one
of their meetings tonight, when Con
federates returned three federal fiags.
Gen* Basil Duke, who was ono of ths
raiders wtth Morgan, was master of
ceremonies of the presentation of the
flags. At. Harper's Fer.-y )u tho spring
of 1M1, the 8lxl!eth Ohio lost Its regi
mental flag: tonight George W. Barrlor
received the faded blue silk banner. He
made a feeling speech In whk'h he, nd-
drtaalng the nog, begged Its pardon for
not seeming to have defended It truly.
Capt. K. J. Braumels was given the
custody of the regimental flag of the
Fifty-eighth which was captured ot
tho battle of Chickasaw bayou, Decem
ber 1, 1842. The national flag as well
as the regimental colors, were captured
from the Twenty-first Ohio on Bnod-
grass hill at Chlckamauga. Richard
Moltrlde of Xenia, who was a member
of Company B, received tho flag. They

Denver, Sept. 7.—The. return-of the
Seventh United States Infantry from
Santiago to Montauk Point with deci
mated ranks and a large sick list marks
but another milestone In tell career of
a regiment whose one hundred years
of service has been a history of hard
ship and bravery unequalled. The reg
iment has been stationed at Fort Lo
gan, near Denver, since 1889, and an
effort will be made by the people of
this city to have It returned here should
such be the wlahr ot the officers and
men.
To high mortality by disease on the
fever saturated soil of Cuba and the
great casualties In the battle of Santi
ago—S7 killed and 129 wounded—Is per
haps Unequalled by that of any regi
ment which fought In the war with
Spain and gives It additional right to
the title It lots no long borne—the
"Fighting Seventh." In the fighting line
before Santiago It never faltered, and
1W rank and flic return with decreased
numbers but untarnished reputation.
The Seventh regiment was organised
under an act of congress July 18, 1789,
aiid la therefore a little over one hun
dred years old. The first commanding
officer was William Bentley, Lieuten
ant-Colonel, commandant. The regi
ment was disbanded on June 15, 1800,
and was again organized under the act
of April 12, 1808. with William Russel!
as colonel and Zachary Taylor as one
of the captains. The regiment at that
time tvae made up mainly of Loulslan-
lane and was the original “Louisiana
Tigers.” It still retains among tbe regi
mental relics the silk flag presented by
the ladles of New Orleans with the
figure of a tiger embroidered thereon.
It retained ItB organisation until May
15, 1816, when by consolidation of regi
ments under tbe act of March 3, 1315,
It became a part of. the First regiment
of Infantry. It was again organised
on May 17,1815, by consolidation of the
Eighth, Tenth, Thirty-sixth and Thir
ty-eighth regiments of Infantry, and
again on May 19, 1869, by consolidation
with the Thirty-sixth regiment of in-
fan try.
During all these 100 years it has had
a remarkable record ot figbtlng and
Is particularly proud of the fact that
It lias never lost Us colors. Tho first
action Inscribed on Its colors Is.:that
of Fort Harrison, 0„ fought on Sep
tember 4 and 6, 18U. under tho com
mand of Capt. Zachary Taylor. The
fort whs attacked by an overwhelming
force of Indians, but was successfully
defended until tho arrival of reinforce
ments put. the savages to flight.
The next engagement was at VUler's
plantation, Louisiana, -December 23,
1814, against a British force, on which
occasion the regiment made Itself con
sptcuous by the most reckless bravery.
The battle of New Orleans, January
8 and 9. 1816, followed, and here also
the regiment distinguished itself.
Following tho battle of New Orleans
came a long period ot peace, except a
few unimportant skirmishes with the
Indians In which tho Seventh was en
gaged. In 1849 however, came ' tho
Seminole war. In which., on four dlf
ferent occasions, tho Seventh admin
istered a whipping to tho Indians.
At tho close of the Semlnolo wqr the
regiment was for a time stationed In
Georgia and was subsequently removed
to Fort Gibson, Ark,, then a frontier
post, where It was employed Jn guard
ing the settlers from the Incursions of
the Indians until the breaking out of
tho Mexican war, when It was removed
to the Rlo Grande and stationed at
Fort Taylor, opposite tho Mexican
town of Matamoros. On tho first of
May, 1846, ths greater part of tho regi
ment was taken by Gen. Taylor on an
expedition, leaving two companies un
der commqnd of Capt Brown. The
main body had no sooner got out of
sight before a superior force of Mex
leans with artillery attacked the fort
and started a furious bombardment.
They were repulsed with serious loss,
but Capt. Brown was wounded and
died on May 9. The fort was then
renamed Fort Brown, In honor of Its
gallant commander, and still retains
that name. Tho next action was the
assault on tho Bishop's palace at Mon
terey. In which the Seventh took con
spicuous part.
Tho regiment was then sent to Vera
Crus, arriving there on February 16.
1847, and remaining there until the re'
capitulation ot tho fortress of San
Juan d’UUoa In March, 1847. At Cerro
Gordo tho regiment stormed tho
heights and took the entrenchments,
planting lta colors on the parapets
and Sergt. Henry ot the Seventh
hauled down tho Mexican flag. . At
Contreras on August 19. 1847, the
storming party was again selected
from the Seventh and carried the en
trenchments, sweeping away tho ene
my like chaff and again planting both
colors on the parapet.
At the siege of the City of Mexico
the Seventh was once more colled upon
to furnish tho storming party. Tho
forlorn hope was commanded by Copt.
Silas Casey, who was wounded early
In tho action, tbe command falling to
Capt. Gabriel R. Paul, who, with
Lieut. Garnett, commanded the de
tachment from the Seventh. Tho
heights of Chapultopec were regarded
by tbe Mexicans as Impregnable, and
the approaches were so steep that In
some places the men were compelled
to crawl on their hands and knees.
Nothing could withstand the fury of
the assault, however. The storming
party swept steadily on, the detach
ment of the Seventh, as always,' con
spicuous for its gallantry, swept over
the worka, captured 450 prisoners, five
cannon, and once more the colors of
the Seventh crowned the summit of &
captured fortress.
The regiment remained In the City
of Mexico until the signing of the
treaty of peace, when It was sent to
Florida, where It remained until 1*50.
It was then sent to the Arkansas fron
tier. and wits engaged In protecting
settlers until 1858, when the Mormon
trouble arose and It joined the column
of Albert Sydney Johnson and wont
to Utah. It remained there until I860,
when It was ordered to New Mexico
and marched to Santa Fe.
Early In 1861 the regiment received
orders to move to he Rlo Grande to
reinforce the troops on the Mexican
frontier. In July. 1841. a majority of
the companies were at Fort-Flllmore.
on the Rlo Grande, awaiting the ar
rival of other companies which had
been stationed at Fort Craig. The war
of the rebellion had begun, and the
battle of Bull Hun had been fought,
but the news had not reached New
Mexico. On July 18 MaJ. Lynde, In
command of Fort Fillmore, learned
that a company of Texas troop* were
in striking distance, and sent two
companies to occupy San Thomas, a
small town on the opposite side of the
river, as an outpost. On the 23d MaJ.
Lynde heard the Confederate troops
were advancing on on San Thomas,
and brought the two companies back
to Fort Fillmore.
The Confederate advanced at night
to within a short distance of Fort Fill
more, expecting to surprise it in the
morning, but a deserter carried the
news to the officers of the Seventh, the
men were aroused and the plan failed.
This brief campaign marked the only
dark spot on the record of the regiment,
for which one man was responsible. Af
ter retreating before a vastly Inferior
force of Confederates, Major Lynde
surrendered 590 well armed and well
equipped men to 300 poorly armed Con
federates. They were paroled and al
lowed to go to Fort Craig.
Companies C, F and H, which had
been at another post, returned to Fort
Craig, where they were received with
all the honors of war, but Major Lynde
was not permitted to enter the fort.
He was dismissed from the service by
President Lincoln on November 25, 1801.
but was reinstated by President John
son In I860 and retired the same day.
Companies C, F and H continued to do
service in the West for some time,
while the seven paroled companies were
used to garrison the Northern lakes un
til September, 1862, when they were re
leased from their parole and joined the
rest of -the command In the army of
the Potomac.
At Fredericksburg and Chanccllors-
vlllo the regiment distinguished Itself,
and In January. 1863, the war depart
ment replaced tho colors destroyed at
the surrender In Texas, the regiment
having wiped out the stain put upon It
by Major Lynde.
Tho Seventh went into tho battle of
Gettysburg with 116 officers and men
and lost 1 officer and 11 men killed and'
3 officers and 42 men wounded and 2
men missing, a total loss In one action
of 50.88 per cent Reduced to an effec
tive force of less than sixty men. It
was sent Immediately after the battle
ot Gettysburg to Ne-r York to assist
In quelling the draft riots. It remained
there recruiting after the war until It
was sent to Florida during the recon
struction period. In 1876, It participated
In. the Sioux war and relieved Major
Reno after tHe Custer massacre on the
Rosebud.
In July, 1877, the Nez Perces, under
Chief Joseph, took the warpath, and the
Seventh was sent to bring them to sub
jection. Ou the night of August 8 the
regiment camped within striking dls-'
tance of the principal village, and lay
all night on tbe adjacent hills shivering
with cold. At the first break of day the
attack was made, the surprised Indians
leaving their camp and taking to tho
timber. While the, soldiers were setting
fire to tho topees the Indians rallied
and poured a destructive fire Into the
troops from the hills on both sides, the
ensuing contest being one of the moat
stubborn and bloody In tbo history of
the regiment. Tho troops formed In two
lines, back to back, and charged the In
dians, who only retreated to the timber,
from which vantage ground they con
tinued t0 Pour- a withering Are into the
decimated ranks of the soldiers. It was
finally decided to retreat to one of the
hills and Intrench, where the troops
wore at once surrounded by tho Indians
and tlrfe battle maintained with una
bated determination on both sides until
nightfall.
Gen. Howard arrived with relnforce-
mepts the following morning and saved
the rest of the command from almost
certain massacre. During this engage
ment Col. (then lieutenant) Coolldge
was shot In both thlgs an dwould
have fallen Into the hands of tho In
dians had not First Sergt. Pat Rogan
taken him on his back and carried him
to a place of safety. The casualties
In this fight were twenty-two killed
and thirty-five wounded, nearly 20 per
cent, of tho entire command.
Tho regiment was next called upon
to participate In the campaign against
tho White River Utes of Colorado In
the fall of 1879, when the Indians killed
an agent, and others, and administered
a severe punishment to the troops sent
against them, Major Thornburg and a
number of his command losing their
lives. In this campaign they acted In
conjunction with detachments from the
Third and Fifth cavalry. Upon the- con
clusion of this campaign tho regiment
went to Fort SneUIng, where It re
mained until 1SS9, when It was assigned
to Fort Logan, then recently estab
lished.
In the winter of 1890-91 tt participat'd
In the campaign ■ against the Sioux,
which WR8 ot short duration, and then
returned to Fort Logan, where It re
mained until the breaking out ot the
war with Spain, when It was sent to
the front. At Santiago, as elsewhere,
the Seventh was at the front, and the
terrible mortality there atests tbe dan
gers to which It was exposed. After the
surrender of Santiago fevers started In
to finish what bullets had left undone,
and Gen. 8hafter'a dally report con
tained many names of members of the
Seventh who died of fever. Others suc
cumbed to other diseases Incident to
the climate and exposure, oven up to
the date of their arrival at Camp Wi-
koff.
Many of the officers of the regiment
rose to high rank during the civil war.
Capt. Paul and Lieut. Garnett, who
climbed the heights ot the Chepultepec
together, both became generals, tho
former In the Union and the latter In
tho Confederate army. Among the dis
tinguished officers ot the Union army
"Zachary Taylor, V. 8. Grant, B. L. E.
Bonneville. Joseph H. Potter, Gabriel
R. raul, Cadmus M. Wilcox, Uabrlel
L. Raines and John Gibbon were at
one time with the Seventh, and In the
Confederate army Gens. Longstreet,
Twiggs and Garnett all.won their first
spurs In the line of the regiment.

So much weight does the ad

ance. The mors* ably It Is con-

Its influences. Every merchant
who realizes his weakness In
the advertising branch of the

will afford. For such a man whs
Is competent the salary might
appear to be more than condi

profitable.
Hofuse to Bo Beaton,
You can't afford to allow your
competitors to get the best of
