lee cream at the new bakery In Chccver's
block, corn er of Main and Court streets.
To-day the season opens at Hess's popular
bakery, corner of La Sallo and Jefferson
streets. In calling the attention of the public
to this Important fact it Is needless to add any
words of praise or commendation in Its be
half. Mr. Hess has been established in litis
business for twenty years, and his reputation
has extended far beyond the confines of Ot
tawa. He does not say that his ice
cream is better than that manufactured
elsewhere. There is no necessity for
his makinir such a statement us his
customers invariably make tha- assertion
themselves. The ice-cream parlors thrown
open to tho public to-day are unquestionably
tho finest in La Sallo cour.ty. The room ha
recently been relltted and refurnished, newly
carpeted and some elegant and costly mirrors
added. The location is a pleasant one nnd
the establishment will, no doubt be, during
the present season, a popular place of resort
as It has been in years past. The younger
Louis Hess will be found on deck, as polite
andattentive to the ladies as of yore, and Is a
gentleman worthy to preside over such an cs
tabllshment.

The Aurora Beacon comes to our desk this
week shrouded In gloom over the death of O
B. Knickerbocker, the editor-in-chief, who
died quite suddenly of brain fever at his resl
dence In that city on the night of the 8th Inst
He was for 38 years connected with the Ilea
eon, which he leaves as one of the prosperous
and permanent institutions of that city, and a
monument to his untlrir.g Industry and per-
sistency. Ho was an honest man, of good,
bard, common sense, and though not particu
larly brilliant or able as a writer, his paper
has wielded much and far-reaching influence
in the ranks of the Republican party of that
vicinity. When Thurlow Weed was editor of
the Albany Evening Journal he worked in that
office, and in rV came west and located
on his father's farm near Earlville, In
this county, and the same winter taught
the school In that village. In '57 he became
connected with the Beacon. He was appo'nted
postmaster at Aurora a few days before the
expiration of Arthur's administration, and the
trouble and worry Incident to the duties of
the office, it is said, brought on an attack of
brain fever which terminated his life in his
4sth year.

1 U-turn and Hamiuet to Co. I at tho Clifton
I.iutt Tuesday Night.
Last Tuesday at 12:40 p. m., Compauy D
returned liomo from Lemont, after having
been absent on duty 10 days. The citizens of
the city on learning that the boys were to ar
rive at that time turned out and paraded to
the depot, headed by the members of the
company to the number of 9, who were al
ready here, wltn Fitzgerald's band, to extend
a hearty wclcoruo to them. As tho travel,
stained and weather-tanned members marched
down to the armory they were greeted with
applause, and after having repaired to their
headquarters and laid aside their weapons of
warfare, were given a dinner at iho Clifton
which they enjoyed heartily after having sub
slsted so long on rations at the camp. In the
evening a grand banquet was tendered them
by the citizens at the Clifton, at which many
of the more promineut people of Ottawa were
prcseut. They marched into the dining room
of the hotel In single Hie and after having
boon seated, Willis's orchestra poured forth
the strains of tho "Soldier's Return." The
banquet was especially a noteworthy event,
not alone on account of its exceptionally line
bill of fare but also on account of the many
brllllaut sp'-eches, witty hits and laughable
sayings of those called upon to speak. Mayor
Allen presided and extended to the company
a right royal welcome home, lie said that
they were boys no longer, but soldiers, and as
such had proved and m -quitted. themselves us
gentleman and the city of Oltawa was proud
of them. He then proposed the health of Co.
D which was drank standing. Capt. Hlanch
ard replied in a neat little speech. He said
that the members of his command had done
their duty like men aud that they had rellcct-
d credit on their city while away. Tho cap
tain concluded with hearty thanks to the citi
zens for their expressions of good will tow
ards his company. Henry Mayo, on being
ailed upon, said that it, unliapily, became
necessary to call upon the military power to
nforce the civil authority and that this was
owing to the mixed class of our population.
He said tiiat he understood that some member
of an organization in this city had said that
they would " boycott" the store In which any
members of Co. D were employed unless they
were discharged. The soldiers, ho said, had
only responded to the call from the state and
it was their duty to obey and do their duty.
Jas. 11. Eckles was of course, called out, and
made one his characteristically eloquent
speeches. D. A. Cook was the next speaker.
He extolled the gallautry of our home compa-
iy und said thut Its conduct on the field
enabled tho members to prove their courage.
He proposed thut uu honorury membership Le
formed and called upon Capt. Blachard for
his opinion who responded that that was ex
actly what ho had often desired. The project
was then put to the members of the company
which was responded to by a unanimous
aye." The expense of keeping up the or
ganization was f'JOO a year and the state paid
of that sum 500, leaving the remainder to be
furnished by the members of tho company.
The honorary membership would give the
ocmpany, Capt.Blunchard said, a strong moral
backing, and the members would feel that
they had the sympathies of the business men
If such an arrangement could bo effected and
this morul aud financial encouragement was
ust what was needed. Messrs. Cook, Snow
and Wldiucr were appoiuted a committee to
go and see those present, which was done und
45 names were appended to the list of honorary
membership of Co. I). During this time Ma
jor Widmer was called upon und his speech
was loudly applauded. He said that ho was
glad the boys had come back without lirinir a
shot, which showed splendid discipline, and
that they were men of courage und that they
showed it by their coolness when surrounded
by danger. Hon. Win. Cullen, of the Ottawa
Itt-ptMican, was then culled upon and made
some solid, sensible remarks. He was fol
lowed by Dr. U. F. Dyer, who related his ex
perience as an army surgeon in the late war.
Ed. Xattinger, of tho Timr, was called upon
and testified to having been an eye witness to
many scenes in the camp at Lemont, and that
the bovs acted as old soldiers and obeyed ev
ery order without flinching. The health of
the ladies of Ottawa was then proposed by the
chair, who called upon D. McDougall for a re
sponse, which that gentleman gave in a hap
py and eloquent vein. The captain, us a se-
iuel to Mr. McD.'s remarks, said tho ladies
had not been forgotten while in camp. Or
derly Sereeant Hull had rigged tip a post
office out of some cigar boxes, and in a few
minutes thereafter they were full of letters ull
addressed to the ladies. P. M. Bowman was
called upon and he said the occasion reminded
him of a company he once commanded, called
the " Shabbonles." The walking was such
that some of them, he believed, had not
returned yet. The hit was received
with great laughter, it reminding many
of the audience of the return or tlie
Shabbona base ball club after its disastrous
tou- many years ago. Thos. E. MucKinluy
and Lester H.Strawn made brief responses
Bugler Ackerman.of Co. I), hrtught out Adjt-
R. C. Stevens, of the f.7V, by n call on that
instrument. He was fearful of a return or
his o'd enemy, that accursed neuralgia, and
did not dare to muke any extended remarks.
However, before sitting down, ho eulogised
Capt. Blanchard and said that he was of the
right stuff to mako a brave soldier and that
one of his style, build and looks could always
be relied upou. That was his experience.
The speaker was applauded at great length
on his remarks. An order was then read by
Ord. Sergt. Hull com mar.ding Private J. II.
Eckels to report at once at the north door of
the dining ball and relieve Comrade McDou
gall, who was there In attendance on the
ladies. The order was promptly obeyed.
The banquet ceremonies ended at midnight
with songs from the company and all departed
feeling that a highly enjoyable time had been

A splendid wedding supper was served, and
in fact nothing was left undone towards the

possess these defects, but ho was overlooked
all the same, und he feels the slight keenly.
