ANNOUNCEMENT OF VICTORY
The telegram announcing the surrender of Gen. Robert E. Lee and the fall of the Army of Northern Virginia was received in Waterloo at 10 o'clock on the morning of April 10, 1865. This information was the fuse which fired the bomb. Crowds gathered immediately on the main streets ; everyone in town dropped their work and hustled together to learn the details of the glorious victory. Cannon were fired by the men, flags were unfurled at every point, whistles blew and bells rung madly. This demonstration continued in varying degrees until 8, o'clock in the evening when the true celebration began. Commercial Street was a solid mass of humanity at this hour. Everything was illuminated : every business house, shop, office, residence was ablaze with lights; the Central House was lighted from top to bottom and men and women crowded the veranda and the windows flying rockets or waving flags and handkerchiefs. The Woods Block, in which were the offices of the provost marshal, was lighted and crowded with people; Russell's Block shed a flood of light, and Weeks' meat market at- tracted particular attention by the number of burners in the window. Harrison's, Forry's and Snowden's windows were tastefully decorated.
About 8 o'clock the members of the Red Jacket Fire Brigade came from their engine house in full uniform, each man bearing a torch, and marched through the streets, performing evolutions. Soon after a monster procession was formed, eight abreast, which marched and counter-marched, singing the "Battle Cry of Freedom" and "John Brown." Accompanying the tunes were the many noises of cheering, whistles, bells, horns, crackers, guns, cannon, etc., which kept up the bedlam of sound without stop.
A large crowd assembled near the Central House, a few store boxes were secured and hurriedly thrown together for a stand and amid all the confusion speaking was attempted. Judge Couch was the first "put up," but could only express himself by singing "John Brown's body lies mouldering in the grave, but his soul goes marching on." Captain Curtiss next spoke and advised the crowd to keep sober. Hon. C. Close next tried his voice, but the din drowned him out. Uncle Sam Brainard next found his voice unequal to the Waterloo Brass Band and descended. Messrs. Cady, Bowman, Bishop, Clark, Lieutenant Heckard, Champlin, Chapman, Coleman, Elwell, Case, Burden, Cantonwine,

Miller and about four hundred others were raised to the platform. Bowman, in his short speech. said. "The American Constitution-like one of those wondrous rocking stones reared by the Druids, which the finger of a child might vibrate to its center, yet the might of an army could not move from its place-the Constitution is so nicely poised that it seems to sway with every breath of pas- sion, yet so firmly based in the hearts and affections of the people that the, wildest storms of treason and fanaticism break over it."
W. H. Hartman, the editor of the Courier, while innocently watching the tumultuous outburst of enthusiasm, was suddenly seized and put upon the double- quick for the store box, bereft of cap and shawl. Understanding that a speech was wanted, he began, "Fellow Citizens: The human mind, ever on the alert to develop some new truth, often finds within its range of thought some dreary, blank and chaotic void, which it is ever prone to fill up with some fanciful crea- tion of its own imagination-"
"Bully for the human mind," yelled an urchin in the crowd and some indi- vidual tipped the store-box, sliding Hartman into the "heaving multitude" below.
The crowd did not dissolve until a late hour at night and even in the early hours of the morning a few revelers, sufficiently warmed by the virtues of "red eye," continued their celebration.
LINCOLN'S DEATH
Startling in contrast and profound in its weight of sorrow came the news of Abraham Lincoln's assassination. The dreadful knowledge was received at 10 o'clock on Saturday morning. April 15, 1865. Coming so shortly after the joy- ous news of the fall of the Confederacy, it sunk deeper into the hearts of the people and cast a heavier pall of sadness and defeat over their spirits. Business in Waterloo was suspended, crape was displayed where flags had flown gladly just a few days before. The large American flag belonging to the citizens of the town was suspended over Commercial Street between the Central House and Siberling & Fairfield's store. To this bunting was attached a portrait of the dead President, encircled with crape and the flag was heavily trimmed with black. Most of the stores remained closed until evening. On Sunday the various churches in the town were draped in mourning and the pastors took as their text the murder of the nation's chief. Mass meetings were held and resolutions of sympathy and condolence were passed. At Russell's Hall, where the Presby- terians held service, appropriate exercises were held.
THE SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR
The news on April 20, 1898, that President Mckinley had signed the ulti- matum to Spain and that the Spanish minister at Washington had asked for his passports was received in Waterloo with every demonstration of joy. The water- works whistle started the news abroad and in a moment factory and switch engines had joined. The people crowded about the bulletins and discussed the momentous telegram. Flags were unfurled and martial ardor was rife.
Company B of Waterloo, of the Forty-ninth lowa National Guard, started for the front on the morning of Tuesday, April 26. 1898. A big demonstration was

hield at the depot and speeches were made, the chief one by C. W. Mullan. They were mustered in at Camp Mckinley at Des Moines on June 2, 1898. Leaving there on the IIth they arrived at Jacksonville, Florida, on the 14th, with 1,280 men and fifty officers. They were attached to the Third (afterward Second) Brigade, Second Division, Seventh Army Corps. They left camp at Savannah, Georgia, on December 19th on United States Transport Minnewaska, bound for Havana, Cuba. In Cuba they remained until the early spring, when they were mustered out and returned home. The roll of the company as it left Waterloo is as follows: Captain, F. R. Fisher ; lieutenants, Charles W. Cotten, Joseph A. Gury ; sergeants, Edward S. Geist, Sidney M. Rowley, Wilbur S. Betts, Charles P. Dunham; corporals, Fred E. Willier, Fred Davis, Clint D. Morgan, George C. Dorlan ; privates, Charles D. Bussler, Handy A. Dean, George B. Green, Elmer F. Feeley, Bert Mellinger, C. D. Morgan, Bertell E. Starr, Joseph E. White, David E. Bankson, Walter Klingaman, Fred W.

A benefit was given at the Waterloo Opera House for these men before they went to Des Moines to encamp at Camp Mckinley.
Later the following men were added to fill up the quota: Ira Davis, Arthur B. Schenck, Walt J. Thrower, Walter Mitchell of Cedar Falls, Will Wichman, Harry A. Strunk, Jr., Park Butterfield, J. W.

PRESENT WAR STRENGTH OF COUNTY
If the United States should go to war Black Hawk County could supply more than 5,000 men for service. The assessor's books show the county to contain 5,592 males between the ages of eighteen and forty-five years, the minimum and max- imum age for military service. Three-fourths of this number reside in the towns.
With the two militia companies this would make a splendid representation. These two companies are B and L of the Fifty-third Iowa Volunteer Infantry and together have a muster of about one hundred and twenty-six men. Of Company B George Weilein is captain, Allen Lown first lieutenant, and N. C. Altman second lieutenant. Of Company L Carleton Sias is captain, F. L. Fisher first lieutenant, and Gust Julien second lieutenant. The two companies have a handsome armory building at 211-15 East Sixth Street, which structure was put up in 1912.
