85, G. A. R. The undersigned committee ap pointed at our last meeting to draft resolutions on the death of our late comrade and brother in arms, Luke D. Ineman.

submit our report as fol lows: Whereas, we learn with sorrow and sadness of the death of our late comrade which occured at his home in Springfield, and while we mourn the loss of a true patriot, a loyal and honored citizen, we have the blessed assurance that our late brother has gone to that celestial city where he met so many national defenders who had fought the good fight both for God and country, and who had crossed the river before him. Comrade Ingman was a loving hus band and an affectionate father, and an exemplary citizen. In his young manhood, on the 27th day of July 1861, he enlisted as a private in Com pany 6th Iowa Infantry, and for meretorious conduct rose to the rank of 1st lieutenant and was mustered out of service Sept. 28, 1864, by reason of expiration of term or enlistment We extend to his bereaved wife and sorrowing children our heartfelt sym pathy in this their sad bereavement.

They are Rev. Dusker of Burden; Mr. Ed Hackney, a lawyer of Welling ton and a former member of the Athe man Literary Society, Mr. Robbins, now in and the originator of the Athenian oritorical conterts. We have four contestants, and we expect a good contest.

A new feature of the Athenian pro gram last Friday, was a lecture by Mark White. Mr. White talked for al most an hour, until many of the boys wished him somewhere else. The consuls are not liable to again place him on the program for a lecture There was much of interest in his talk, but it was entirely too long for such an occasion. Mr.

W- J. Shullis again in college, We are glad to welcome him back again. Mr. bnull is a senior and was called home on account of the sickness of his brother, who has died.

We extend to Mr. Shull our sympathy. Several of our students took the teachers' examination last Saturday. Rev. W.

Fred Naugle left the city Friday night and will seek employment else where. His wife and child left last Saturday for a visit with her relatives in Oklahoma. They will probably not return to reside here.
