TOMBSTONES FOR VETERANS Who Have Pled During the Last Year lo he Secured. Adjutant Joseph A. Arkle, of Stephens post, G. A. R, Is looking up data with the view of getting from the government tombstones for nine veterans, most of whom have died during the year. The government furnishes a a tombstone free and pays the freight to the nearest railroad station for a dead soldier, but requires that the name of the deceased be given, together with the company and regiment he served In. In many cases interested parties have experienced considerable difficulty In irymj? u> ascertain me name ol tne | company and regiment from the relatives of the deceased who evidently I never pave a thought to these mattere. The two Wheeling G. A. R. posts. J. W. Koll'.day nnd E. W. Stephens, look after the dead soldiers of the war of the rebellion, Stephens post's territory in the city being nil that south of the creek. r. Arkle for some years has spent no little energy in trying to get the company nnd regiments in which served John F. Stentzel and another man named Armstrong, who ore burled In Mount Zion cemetery.. He wants their graves suitably marked as well ns several others, but the difficulty In securing the necessary data is eurpri*ing. Few women, wives or sisters of llvlnjt veterans of the civil war Included, can designate the company or regiment, nnd where there are no papers to shed the Information desired, it can . be seen what difficulty the G. A. R. \\ posts encounter in getting the tombstones. At Madison School. 5 "Patriotic Day" exercises at Madison I school, Island, were Inrgely nttended. , Mr. II. J. Felber, of the G. A. R., gave a pleasing talk. In the course of which he spoke of the disappearance of sectional lines and -the drawing together of those ' who had worn the blue and the gray.

The Central glass works Is runnfng full in all departments and is experiencing an unusually brl6k trade. The factory's goods tlnd a market in all parts of the union and its trade has been >ded to one of Uncle Sam's new pot ?s!ons, Porto Rico. A shipment to Por.ee was made yesterday, and this week the second shipment to Alaska will be made.

G The rain began to pour clown at 2:30 n o'clock and continued with the excep- ^ tion of brief intervals for nearly two k hours, during which time the rainfall M aggregated one and one-half inches. The ^ storm was accompanied by hail, and the lightning played pranks with tele- e, phones In some localities aoa struck a p number of trees. The streets were V flooded in the business section with de- b| bris from the hillsides, the water cwn- J Ing down streets running to the river . t| with a ru?h, and several sewers were 'r temporarily choked.
