The Soldiers' Home at Leavenworth is quite a comfortable place for the homeless soldier. There are now about five hundred old veterans domesticated there. There are now twelve barracks or buildings, in course of erection. All who want to work are allowed thirty cents per day. Those drawing pensions put it in the treas- ury at the Home and check it out as their needs require. Each person is furnished with two oversuits and four suits of under- clothing each year. The home is well managed and the old soldiers seem to enjoy it very much. It is neither a military prison nor a poor house .- (July, 1886.)
For the benefit of house-keepers the following information is given free: If a bottle of the oil of pennyroyal is left uncorked in a room at night not a mosquito or any other blood sucker will be found there in the morning; and if potash is mixed with powered meal and thrown into rat holes of a cellar, the rats will depart. Also, if a rat or mouse bothers you by getting into the pantry and you will stuff into its hole a rag saturated with a solution of cay- enne pepper no rat or mouse will touch the rag for the purpose of entering. Try these things on.

We are glad to note that our Road Supervisors, in various parts of the county, are taking advantage of the dry weather to do some good grading in low places. There was never a better time for Story County to get ahead in road building than now. Good roads such as we may have, through the county in all directions would add greatly to its good name and the value of its real estate .- (July 14, 1886.)
New Mexico newspapers tell of a "norther" that passed over the northern edge of Lincoln County a few weeks ago, accompanied by hail stones as large as a man's fist, doing damage to sheep. One man lost three thousand killed, another five thousand, a third four thousand out of a herd of five thousand Merinos and Cotswolds. Several beeves and some cattle were killed, and is was rumored that the hail killed two herders also .- (July 16, 1886.)

Don't play with matches. The accident on Tuesday to Mr. Bur- gess' little boy prompts us to warn parents not to permit their children to have matches. Only a short time since a number of little fellows got together and, obtaining matches, kindled a fire on a barn floor, which, fortunately, was (discovered in time, by an older person, to prevent a conflagation. We know of another instance where boys played with matches in and about a barn. A

The Iowa Agricultural College opened yesterday, with the Pres- ident and most of the professors in attendance and a major- ity of the students. President Chamberlain takes hold with a mas- ter hand, and under his kind and considerate administration we hope to see the college prosper in all its departments, and fill its purpose in the highest degree. We believe he will find in the fac- ulty able and conscientious supporters, whose pleasure it will be to sustain his administration both in and out of the class room .- (July 22, 1886.)
Look out for fires! The flat on the south side was set on fire last week by some one throwing a stump of a lighted cigar into the grass; and twice, within a week, has Colonel Hoggat's pasture been set on fire by the noon passenger train. People cannot be too careful. Everything is so parched and dried that a spark will start a conflagration .- (July 29, 1886.)
Under the new law, after the first of next January, the Iowa Grand Jury will be composed as follows: In counties having a population of sixteen thousand or less the Grand Jury shall be composed of five members, and in counties having more than six- teen thousand the Grand Jury shall be composed of seven mem- bers. Whenever the number of civil townships in any county equals or exceeds the number of grand jurors for such county, not more than one grand juror shall be drawn from any civil town- ship. No person shall serve as a grand juror for two consecutive years. An indictment cannot be found without the concurrence of four out of five when the Grand Jury is composed of five mem- bers, and not without the concurrence of five when the jury is com- posed of seven members .- (August 5, 1886.)

STORY COUNTY VETERANS.
EIGHTH ANNUAL REUNION OF THE FEDERAL SOLDIERS IN STORY COUNTY. HELD AUGUST 12 AND 13, 1886.
A LARGE AND ENTHUSIASTIC GATHERING OF VETERANS AND OTHER CITIZENS.
ELOQUENT ADDRESSES BY MAJOR CONGER AND
GENERAL GEDDES.
NEVADA SELECTED AS THE PLACE FOR HOLDING THE NEXT ANNUAL REUNION. .
One hundred and eighty-six veteran soldiers of the late war reg- istered at the Eighth Annual Reunion of the Story County Asso- ciation on Thursday and Friday of last week. And in addition to those who registered their names with the Adjutant of the Regi- ment, there were present quite a number who did not report to that officer. It is therefore safe to say that there were in camp at Nevada over two hundred soldiers, representing all arms of the ser- vice, and at least one-fourth that number in regiments and batteries that were in active service during the rebellion. Here were assem- bled representatives of the greatest conflict of arms that history records; men who stood face to face with death at Donelson and Shiloh; who hurled back Price and Van Dorn at Corinth and Iuka; who routed Pemberton at Champion Hills, and stormed the heights of Vicksburg; who smashed Bragg at Murfreesboro and touched elbows at Chickamauga; who scaled Lookout Mountain and Mission Ridge; who pulverized Hood at Franklin and Nashville, and marched with Billy Sherman "from Atlanta to the sea;" who fought under McDowell at Bull Run and stood shoulder to shoulder through the long Peninsular campaign and shouted 'Vic- tory' under Little Mac at Antietam; men who fought under Burnside at Fredericksburg and under Hooker at Chancellorsville; who crossed the Rapidan with Grant and followed the Great Captain from the Wilderness to Appomattox; men who lingered for nionths and years in the prison pens of Andersonville, Belle Isle and Libby. What history we have in these war-worn veterans! heroes of a hundred battle-fields. It fairly thunders in the old flag as its silken folds are spread to the free winds of the Northland! These men are the Nation's heroes. With an intelligent loyalty that is the offspring of the free schools of this blessed land of ours, the armies of the north marshaled by companies and regiments for

that herculean contest which ended in the downfall of the slave power, Every man who drew a sword or shouldered a musket for the suppression of the slave-holders rebellion, is a hero! He com- prehended the magnitude of the cause, and felt the responsibility of his citizenship. Can a people or a nation honor too greatly the men who rescued the country from dissolution and all the horrors that would have followed in its train?
The Veterans began to arrive in camp Thursday forenoon, and by evening the grounds were full of "blue coats." The officers of the regiment, Colonel John Scott commanding, had amply pre- pared for the comforts of the comrades. The fair grounds had been selected for the encampment; and in addition to the large and commodious buildings thereon, which were thrown open to the soldiers, tents had been erected for their shelter and convenience, and all present were well provided for.
The commissary department was in charge of experienced cater- ers and the supply of comforts for the inner man was never more abundant or of better quality. Indeed, the arrangements were per- fect, and no one suffered for shelter or food.
There were no fixed program for the first day of the meeting. Thursday evening had been set apart for the election of officers for the ensuing year and the selection of a place for the next re-union; but by vote of the Association this business was postponed until 9:30 A. M. Friday, and the evening given over to music, which was supplied by the Ames Glee Club, consisting of Messrs Meredith, Haverly, Hutchinson and Arnold, and the Nevada and Cambridge Cornet Bands. The Nevada Military Company went through vari- ous military evolutions, much to the delight of those present. The audience was immense, filling the great stand and all available space within a radius of several rods. Colonel Scott presided, and covered himself with the gratitude of the large company by the masterly manner in which he kept the exercises going. The even- ing's entertainment was a first-class concert, the vocal and instru- mental music was eloquent, and the short, sharp speeches of the commander and comrades pithy and enjoyable.
FRIDAY A. M.
An informal meeting of the old soldiers convened at 8:30, to dis- cuss the general interests of the Association, and to determine upon a plan that would effect a more perfect organization, insure larger attendance and provide better accommodations; but the meeting adjourned without accomplishing anything.
At 9:30 the Association convened in the grand pavillion for the purpose of selecting a place for the next annual re-union and elect- ing officers- Colonel John Scott presiding, J. E. Duncan acting Adjutant.
Nevada and Ames were placed in nomination. The sentiment of the Association seemed to be in favor of the former place on account of its central location; and after a fiery little speech by Colonel Fenn,
155

in which, in behalf of the citzens, he welcomed the old veterans to the hearts and hospitalities of the town, NEVADA was chosen as the place for the next annual encampment of the Story County Regiment.
The following officers were then chosen for the ensuing year:
Colonel-T. C. McCall, 32d Iowa, Nevada.
Lieutenant Colonel-D. A. Bigelow, 124th Illinois, Ames.
Major-J. C. Burkhart, 20th Iowa, Zearing.
Quartermaster-George Child, 32d Iowa, Nevada.
Adjutant-I. L. Smith, 54th Pennsylvania, Nevada.
Surgeon-G. A. Meredith, 26th Iowa, Ames.
Chaplain-John Doty, 17th Wisconsin, Maxwell.
Drum Major-George Pitsor, 17th Wisconsin, Ames."
Fife Major-Alba O. Hall, 32d Iowa, Nevada.
It was voted that the next annual meeting be held on Thursday and Friday on or before full moon in August, 1887.
The officers of the regiment were constituted an Executive Council for the transaction of all business of the Association.
During the progress of the meeting the Womans' Relief Corps, of Cambridge and Colo entered the pavillion and were received by the veterans standing, and three hearty cheers.
The assembly then adjourned until 1 P. M.
AFTERNOON.
At the hour named for the meeting of the Association the jam of humanity that pressed into the pavillion and immediately around the speakers' stand, was painful. Fully two thousand persons were present.
After a song or two and instrumental music by the Cambridge band, Colonel Scott introduced Major E. H. Conger, Member of Congress from the Seventh Iowa District, who addressed the large audience for nearly one hour, and was followed by General Geddes, of Ames, who spoke about one-half hour.
We made no notes of the remarks of either of the speakers, and it would be an injustice to them for us to attempt to outline their addresses, which at our best would be very imperfect. The speeches were appropriate to the occasion, at times pathetic and elo- quent, strong in their affection for and loyalty to the Old Flag, full of love for their comrades of the war, and patriotic in their devo- tion to the country. Both gentlemen were loudly cheered during and at the conclusion of their remarks.
At the close of General Geddes's speech Colonel Scott, in a burst of eloquence, introduced Micah French, a hero of the war of 1812, who has carried British lead in his body since that memorable struggle, and who is now past ninety years of age. During the last session of Congress Mr. French applied to Congress for a pen- sion and was refused. Major Conger, taking off his hat to the vet- eran of 1812, proposed three cheers for him, which was given by the multitude with full lung power. Major Conger promised his
156

best efforts in the next Congress to get Micah French a pension- and he'll do it.
The new field officers were called upon the stand and introduced to the regiment. Each made a pleasant response, promising their best efforts to make the next re-union successful in all its detail.
After a couple of songs by the quartette, the Association adjourned.
The re-union of '86 was a very pleasant and successful one. The comrades in Nevada aimed to make it such, and succeeded. Its pleasant memories will go with the Vets until next year, when the boys of our shiretown will surpass themselves.

NEVADA .- At your suggestion I will sunder my pleasant rela- tions with the "pretty school marms" long enough to resume my correspondence.
The Normal Institute is making excellent progress in all depart- ments. Mr. Roe and his assistants are very active in their efforts to make it largely beneficial to those in attendance-a school of instruction that will aid the teacher in the school room, and make the duties there comparatively light. I append a list of teachers who are now graded:
