A GREAT DAY FOR WOR THINGTON. Camp Fire Last Xijflit a Grand Success. FROM FRIDAY S DAILY ADVANCE. The second day of the encampment was a grand success from every point of view. The weather was simply perfect. Old Sol was in the height of his glory, and never did he -shine more brightly from a cloudless heav en than yesterday. Just about the time he was bidding farewell to the eastern horizon visitors began to ar rive and by ten o'clock Worthing ton's broad streets were one surging mass of humanity. One of the features of the day was the dress parade by the veterans, the sons of veterans, drum corps and the girls' brigade. People sometimes wonder why the old gray beards in sist on marching ou such occasions^ why men crippled with rheumatism or by old wounds insist on keeping step to the music of the tunes. As well they might ask why water runs down hill. There is nothing so in spiring and stimulating to the old soldier as the keeping step in the old way to war-time music. Such a spec tacle as was presented by the dress parade yesterday brings up all that is worth remembering in one of the greatest struggles the world has ever seen. The exercises opened yesteiriay morning with guard mount of the girls brigade at 9 a. in. The drill of the young ladies is nearly perfect. Many of the voices of the old soldiers were lifted up in admira tion of the perfect alignment of the line in marching by platoon, the soldierly bearing and uniform step, displayed in their different maneu vers. The afternoon camp fire opened by Commander Town who announced that the W. R. C. will hold a camp fire in the tent 'Friday morning, at 10 o'clock. Department Commander Ell Torrance, who was expected to be present at this camp fire, was unexpectedly called away to Chicago, but had delegated hisassist ant Adjt. Gen. J. K. Mertz, who will speak this evening. The ladies quartet sang "The Battle Cry of Freedom." The first speaker was D. G. Eldridge, of Sheldon, Iowa, who, in substance, said that no other country on the face of the globe has passed through such a rebellion as the one known as the civil war. He said he would speak to the youths now before him. Need we be reminded of those fear ful days of suspense from the firing on Fort Sumter until the proclama tion calling for troops by President Lincoln. The response to this pro clamation was unanimous on the part of the north men were leaving, ev ery day, their workshops, offices, farms and other peaceful avocations. Of an enlistment of 2,600,000 in '61 '65 over 1,000,000 have answered the last roll call. The gain of that is universal liberty. On pension mat ters the administration were roundly scored for its position on the suspen sion of the ^veterans' pensions. "Do the old soldiers owe the government anything?" On the other hand, the government can never pay its obliga tion to the men who stood between it and treason. "Marching through Georgia" was then sung by the audience. Maj. Bailey, of Primghar, Iowa, kept the audience in a splendid. hu mor by reciting humorous stories with morals pertaining to army life. His remarks were teemed with les sons of patriotism. The pension bu reau also came in for its usual roast, which was done up brown. The con demnation which the department received was somewhat severe but truthful. The audience sang the "Star Spangled Banner." Past Dept. Com. S. R. Van Sant remarked that he could not see how any man who ever wore the blue could stay out of the Grand Army of Republic. In Minnesota alone nearly one-half of the old soldiers were still out of the G. A. R. His remarks were as usual full of patriotism. Rev. E. C. Clemans, of Minneapo lis, was the next speaker, who in his inimitable way of telling stories ma terially aided in making the camp-fire a glorious success. America" was sung by the quel ience which closed a very enjoj ablftt camp lire. At 5 o'clock occurred the dress parade. Every post in the dibtnek was in line, as well as Worthiugtoii Camp Sons of Veterans on the left pf the line, while the right was held by the Girls' brigade. Nearly every comrade iu camp took part. J. A. Town acted as colonel and Capt. Burnell regimental adjutant. The evening camp fire was op ened with music by the Heron Lake Brass Band and a song, "Columbia, the Gem of the Oc ean," by the young ladies' quar tette. Congressman J. T. Mc Cleary was the first speaker and he stated that he, in Canada, at the age of eight years shed his blood for the Union. He and an other youth got into a discussion in which he got a blow on the nose, and the blood flowed. He told his hearers of his trip which he had taken from Atlanta to Chattanooga, the memory of that trip will ever be green in his heart. He called attention to Pension Bureau order No. 229, stating that all applications for pensions must be written by the' party applying. Should the party be unable to write, have some one write for him giving the 'name of the party writing the same. This application according to order| No. 229, must be type written. Mr. McCleary will be in Worthington until noon for the purpose of at tending to any business the old soldiers may have. Assistant Adjutant-General J. K. Mertz told of the enormous amount of money expended for charity by the Grand Army and its auxiliary, -the Woman's Relief Corps, from the inception of both orders, the amount being nearly 84,000,000. He gave other sta tistics of the amount of work. He said that the best friend of the Grand Army comrades in the south is the ex-confederate soldier, but the youths there are taught that the South was right in the war of the Rebellion, the textbook being "Ellis' History of the Urn* ted States." He called attention to the fact that the education of our youths must not be neglected, and the time is now ripe for teach ing them patriotism and love of country and "Old Glory." Com rade Mertz could not finish his address without telling a story on his friends, Capt. Yan Sant and Commander Town. "Tramp, tramp, tramp, the boys are marching," WHS THE WORTHINGTON ADVANCES then sung by the audience. Major P. R. Bailey told a jovial story which kept the audience in an humorous mood. He also spoke of the manner of the work done in the pension bureau, which bore out the assertion of Con gressman McCleary. In speaking of the dedication of the Confeder ate monument at Chicago he says that he has no objection as to how many monuments they may dedi cate, but they must not dedicate them on our Sabbath—Memorial Day, May 30. He paid a touching tribute to the Women's Relief Corps of Minnesota. Comrade Barney of Jackson sang, "Marching through Geor gia," the audience joining in the chorus. Mrs. Lodusky J. Taylor, depart ment president of the Minnesota W. R. C., spoke on the work of the order, thanking the citizens of Worthington for the many cour tesies extended to her. Capt. Sam R. Van Sant also spoke of the amount of work done by the loyal womeu during the war and at the present time. In closing he said that anarchy had no place among the men who marched with Sherman to the sea. "Old Shady" was sung by Major Bailey. Rev. E. C. Clemans of Minne apolis spoke in favor of still fur ther instruction of the children in patriotism and love of "Old Glory." The camp fire closed by singing "America." —Paints, oils, varnishes, tine, gypsine, brushes, etc., line at Evans Bros.' turpen largest -v :.-. LOCAL ITEMS.
