.Mr. Miruupf having stated that some
troll fencing would be needed, Mr. 1-orenz
moved that the rouiuuttee on building and

the Clifton street building, or after an
other good pattern, and report the same at
the next or the next following meeting.
Carried."
At the next meeting of the board, held
Jul j lstli, the committee on building and
repairs reported a large nuiulier of im
provements needed about the various
school buildings of the city. The only part
of this report liertlnent to the rase, is that
relating to irou fences, which Is given as
ofticiallj recorded In the board journal by
the clerk, Dauiel Cushiug.
To the Hoard ot Education
Hr vti yn - Vour conimittee on build
ings and repairs would respectfully reiort
the following" After a formal investiga
tion of the different school buildings, we
would recommend
First New Iron fence for the east High
street, l'earl street. Southern, I'leasaut
street, Dlbert avenue and Fair street build
ings, a wood fence for the tlray house.
The remainder of the rejort recommend
ed wire screens, papering, repairs on stone
steps and other improvements, not pertain
ing to tills matter. The report was adopted
with several amendments, none of which
pertained to the matter of iron fences. On
motion of Mr. itidgeJ) the committee was
autlionred to receive bids for the work.
The committee on building aud repairs
consists of Messrs. Frauk Mminpf, of the
Seventh ward; It. J. Heck, of the Third, and
A. It. bpieluian, of the Second. Mr. bpiel
mn is probably the best known of these
gentlemen. He Is an anient prohibitionist
that is, he has manifested a love for the
"ardent."
the amount ol fencing required was
about 17 feet, more or less, for the High
street building, aud 900 teet, more or I
for the other buildings. The High street
fence w as designed to be quite ornameutal.
Between July 7 and July IS the com
mitter on building and repairs had time
to look up the iron fencing
matter. With almost a certainty
that these resolutions for various Improve
ments would be accepted at the meeting of
July 18. they took It upon themselves to
receive bids for the fencing. There are
three reputable linns iu Springfield who
mate iron fences Mast, Foos Jfc Co, the
Hanika Iron Fence compan) and the
Kogcrs Fence compan) all well-known
business concerns.
On Thursday, July 14, these firms were
asked to bid on the work. On Saturday ,
July IC, Mast, Foos A Co. and probably
the others were telephoned to get their
bid read at once, as (he committee wished
to consider the bids that (Saturday) even
ing so as to be read) to report at the regu
lar meeting on the eveuiug of Mouda).
Jul) la.
Kach of the firms promptly sent lu its bid.
At the last meeting of the board the
building committee reported three bids, in
brief, as follows:
Mast, Foos A. Co., V cents per foot for
the High street fence, and 7' tents ptr foot
for the other.

TI1K CAMt'.r ll'h.
The camp-tire at Camp Clark, so fondly
anticipated by the old soldiers, wasgreatly
disturbed by the rain last evening. Ample
provisions had been made for an out-door
meeting, but a heavy rain came up just
when the meeting should have begun, and
so it became necessary to go totheuiiin
hall, or the headquarters of the Forty -fourth.
It was half past ctight when tlie
meeting was called tj order by Comrade
Cllne, In the absence of Captain Ab Mat
tox, who was to have led the caiuji-hre, but
who was unavoidable alisent.
Comrade Cllne, after a few timely re
marks, introduced Mayor O S Kelly, who
extended the freedom and hospitality of the
c.ty, giving the old boys a cordial welcome.
He spoke nt the several organizations that
had gone out from thlscity and county, and
and especially ot the Fort) fourth, which,
just twenty-six ) ears ago this month, was
camped upon the same grounds now occu
pied b) Camp Clark, and left for the froot
1,000 strong. He said the citizens
were proud of them, as well as
of all other companies or detachments,
who left our count) for the war, as all did
their dut) nobly.
The rt-spouse was made by Col. I,. W.
Tulleys, of Iowa, colonel of the Forty
fourth, who read refulls-prepared ad
dress, containing m ,'ixsl points, but he
unfortunately wound up by givlugaset
prohibition speech, to which the boys
strongly objected. So great was this feel
ing that at last the) forced the Colonel by
their disapproval to suliside, one old vet
calling out, "No iolltics at a camp tire."
What he said was well enough hail it been
in its proper place, but as one comrade re
marked he was just one we'ek teo late, that
he "should have been at the late prohibi
tion camp meeting"'
The Big Six then plived a lively selec
tion, after which Cagt Win. Wade, of the
Thirty-first Ohio, now of Missouri, was
introduced as master or ceremonies, tor the
rest of the evening He responed in a few
brief words, telling humorously about his
connection with the war, and of his grett
monest). which had a!wa)s prevented him
from doing an) thing eminent, either as a
soldier or a citizen Captain Wade repre
sented Missouri In congress most bril
liantly. He then called for the next
speaker on tlie programme.
Fletcher White, esj , was to have spoken
at this polnL but was not present, and Col.
J. T. Mitchell. Slxty-lxth O V. I., of
LTrbana.was called ouL and sroke upon
the topic. "Our Comrades of Ail Armies
He made one ot me uesi speecnesor me
evening. It was witty and abounded in
good points, kueping the boys in good hu
mor all trie way iiirougu. lie spoi-e in a
humorous was of how the boys thought
and acted while green and iiiex-erienceel,
of how hard It was to live on "sow bosoin"
and hard tack, beans and such, how, later
along, the boys. In marching past other and
perhaps newer troops, when askeet "vv hat
regiment?" would perhaps answer "First
Babvlon" or "Tenth Jerusalem, and always
had an answer suitable for tlie occasion. Col.
Mitchell spoke of his own regiment, which
left Urbana in lSiil. LOM strong, of which
only U5 of the original returned, aud that
the 86th had tne Honor oi oeing me nrsi
Ohio regiment to veteran or re-enlist for
the war. The colonel was e heered often
during bis remarks, as lie paid a just tri
bute to the coiurads of all armies. He is a
brother of our Kev. Frank Mitchell, of the
city.
The Big six men rendered -America in
their most brilliant manlier.
CapL nice, of New Orleans, captain of
the Seventeenth Ohio battery, was next
called ouL His topic was "l.iucoln and
Stanton." lie paid a glowing tribute tn
(.bese worthy martyrs. An ordinary news
paper, account falls to do justice to his ad
dress, being full and replete as It was with
history, bom new nu old, or me lives and
work of these two great men.
The baud next gave "The Star Sp-ngled
Banner. Lieutenant v ilson.of the Ninety
fourth O , spoke upon the girl I left behind
me. Hesald tbesodler was ver) iiufortu
' ate who did not leave a girl behind him.
Those little missives that came so often to
cheer and encourage tlie hearts of the bo)s
we can never forgeL Had it not been for
the girls and women we left behind, the
old Hag would not have been worth lighting
for. We can even see the wrinkles on the
faces of the old girls now, the) are so
deeply fixed in our affections, for the girls
we left behind us were the best jiart of us,
and he who came home and abused or mis
treated one of these old girls, it were bet
ter that he had been buried down iu south
ern soil.
Further music b) the band, after which
Kev. Frauk O. Mitchell was called out. and
spoke on the " olunteer Soldier." He
having been so uiifor' unite as to be to
)oung for the beginning of the fra), had
squeezed Into the one hundred da) s' sen ice,
and he gave a rich, rare and rac) account
of how the hundred-da) men put clow n the
war. "for there's no doubt they did IL" El
der Mitchell is always a good speaker, aud
he kept the boys In In a roar of laughter by
his witty impromptu speec n.
Yankee Doodle was then rattled off b)
the band.
Major Peters, of tlie Seventy-fourth Ohio,
spoke upon "The loy all citizens who su,
talned us at home, while we fought in the
front" His remarks were good and to the
point.
Captain Conners next spoke of 'The
bummers In the army," in a wav that
brought rounds of applause He said it
was the duty of the bummers, among other
things, to deploy out over the country and
search for chicken roosts ami anything good
to eat as some one suggested, not even
fc rgetting applejack.
Chaplain Parsons of the Sixty-sixth.
was then called ouL ami spoke unin the
"Star Spangled Banner." He spike very
feelingly of the old ft vg. its memories and
sacredness to us, as a people. He sa'd he
was always glad the rebels adopted another
than the stars and stripes as their banner.
He told some good stories, and closed by
reciting some verses upon the old tUg,
which were excellent
The programme then being completed.
Captain Wade opened the meeting for vol
unteer talks by the hoys. He sat down,
but was called up to make one himself. He
responded, and In strong terms made a tell
ing speech against the great crime of our
country, in allowing over s.uoo of the old
war veterans to be inmates of the different
county poor houses and pauper homes ot
our country "What a burning shame for
our great land of liberty and freedom to
thus treat the warworn veterans who
savesl thecountry only tube thus inhumanly
treabsl in return ""
Kev Mr. Wilkinson was also e ailed out
and made a short and witty talk. This
