The state has also placed 79 monu

Iowa has placed II monument Inscrip

construction—a granite peristyle with
six bronxe panels In alto relief and a
bronee equestrian figure In front of the
center, at a contract cost of $100,000.

The varied nnd picturesque beauty
of the battlefield cannot be described,
but must be seen to be realised and
appreciated. When the park la finished
and the 24 states Interested have
placed their memorials monuments

valor, the unselfish devotion to duty
and the exalted patriotism displayed

side.
After being apparently dead for over
an hour, little James L. McCanaugby,
nephew of Mre. Robinson D. Crusoe,
has lived for thlrty-alg, and, as Mr.
Crusoo said Wednesday afternoon at
his residence, loo Washington street.
It la believed, with careful nursing, he
will recover entirely, although at the
present time the little. follow le
near death’s door as la possible with
out being on the other eld*. ■
The case la one of the moet peculiar
which has oome to light In Atlanta for
many months. James, who Is' In hie
5th year, waa token III with measles
two weeks ago. The malady went into
pneumonia and all hope of-recovery
waa given up Monday night. Tuesday
morning shortly after 4 o’clock all the
breath left tho little body. The child
was examined by the trained nurt* In
attendance und by eeveral neighbor*,
a physician not being reached at the
time. It waa decided by all that death
had come.
Nevertheless the body waa worked
on for a tlma with the hope of again
starting reeplratldn. This- waa finally
given up and the body wrapped In a
blanket until the attending physician
could reach the house. While watch
ing the body a strange sensation came
over Mr. Crusoe about one hour after
the body had born wrapped In the
blanker. The little fellow'# eyelid*
quivered, then opened. -The phyilclan*
came and everything. waa done to
maintain the life which had appeared.
The elftiris were,successful and It Is
now believed the little fellow will live
after having been dead qn# hour.

Mr. Algood dropped In hie nickel

gong rang three times and the pointer
stopped on 247 pounds.
Mr. Algood It the biggest man who
