Opposition Flares to Removal of Confederate Dead at Indianapolis Russian Brains Swap Notes By Louis Ludlow. it at Garfield park in the years to Representative of the Seventh Indiana come than if it were re-erected at District. Crown Hill.

Indianapolis, Aug. opposition to removal of the remains of the Confederate dead from Greenlawn Cemetery has developed among southerners in Indianapolis. The War Department has taken initial steps to disinter the remains of the 1,616 Confederate soldiers buried there in order that these soldier dead may find a final resting place in more attractive surroundings. The opposition which has arisen is voiced not by northerners but by direct and collateral descendants of the hosts that went down to defeat for a lost cause under the leadership of Gen. Robert E.

Lee. "Let them rest where they are," is the verdict of these sons of the southland. The Southern Club of Indianapolis is opposed to removal of the remains, according to E. S. Fisher, president of the club.

Mr. Fisher, who has lived seventeen years, formerly resided in Tennessee, where re he prominent family connections. There are one hundred members of the Southern Club of Indianapolis and Mr. Fisher says they are agreed that the remains of the Confederates at Greenlawn should not be disturbed. Would Seem Like Sacrilege.

"Any attempt to remove the remains soldiers would seem to us like sacrilege," said President Fisher. "Furthermore. it would be ineffective and absolute waste of money. There are no marks of any kind to serve as guide. It would be possible dig sup bones, no doubt, but who would know whether they are the bones of Confederates or others, as Greenlawn was a general cemetery and others besides Confederates were buried there.

If an attempt is made to exhume the remains of Confederates the result will be that some Confederates bones will be removed to Crown Hill and others will be left at Greenlawn and that will be wholly ineffective and unsatisfactory. If the idea of the War Department is to show the proper sentiment of respect for the Confederate dead, as it undoubtedly is, that end can best be attained by leaving the Confederate remains undisturbed. Let them rest where they are." The Southern Club of Indianapolis views with apprehension the suggestion of the removal of the Confederate monument from Garfield Park Crown Hill Cemetery and if the War Department undertakes to carry out that plan the club probably will adopt resolutions of protest and will seek to stop the movement. That monument was first erected at Greenlawn and later removed to Garfield park. Tablets affixed to it set forth the names of all of the 1616 Confederate soldiers who were buried at Greenlawn The club regards Garfield park as a much more desirable place for that monument than Crown Hill, one of the reasons assigned for that belief being that many more people will see The man who think of the future and its needs is the one that we are seeking.

At a meeting of editors of weekly newspapers in Northwestern Indiana George Ade imparted some interesting advice on circulation building. "If I were the editor of a weekly newspaper," said he, "I would get the every resident of my county in the paper twice a year if all I could say about him would be that he took a walk from his house to his barn." Frank Young, an octogenarian farmer of Pulaski County, might be described as a simon pure partisan.

When he called the office of the Pulaski County Democrat at Winamac the other day see about his subscription he to E. C. Gorrell, satia the busy editor: "When I die I want a Democratic preacher to preach my funeral and I want six good Democrats to serve as "Have you got all that arranged?" asked Mr. Gorrell. "Me? No, I'm not dead yet," was the reply.

While Mr. Young is still very active, as befits his last name, he is looking forward Democratic send-off into the next world. A Wells County farmer is refusing to get his hair cut because wheat is thirty-five cents a bushel and a haircut in Bluffton costs forty cents. He cannot reconcile himself to the thought of paying more than the proceeds of a bushel of wheat to have his hair trimmed and he has solemnly resolved that he will let his hair grow until the price of wheat goes up or the price of hair-cuts comes down. Abram Simmons, of Bluffton, one of the Nesters of the Indiana bar, has a library that is noted for its many old and rare volumes.

He has all of the statutes ever enacted by the Congress of the United States and likewise all of the statutes ever enacted by the Indiana legislature. What is more rare and valuable in his collection is the complete Journal of the Continental Congress, in which appears the notation that on a certain day in July, 1776, a Declaration of Independence was adopted--just a little incident that has caused a good deal of talk ever since. While Mr. Simmons appears to have about everything in his library along historical and antiquarian lines one of his guests the other day sought to drive him to cover by remarking: "My grandfather was a member of the Indiana constitutional convention that framed present constitution of Indiana own a copy of the the, debates of that convention, which is so rare that I do not know anybody else who has a copy." Mr. Simmons for a shelf high above the visitor's head and A pulled down a book.

"Here is a copy," he said. Tom Emmons, president of the Izaak Walton League of Rochester, has just received a heavy compliment from officials of the United States Bureau of Fisheries on account of the great number of dog fish he has caught this season at Lake Manitou. An official of the bureau happened to be at Lake Manitou recently when Mr. Emmons hauled away a wagon load of dog fish he had caught. This made him a hero in the eyes of real sportsmen.

All of those who know Mr. Emmons say he is death on dog-fish. Pulaski County has paid beautiful tribute to its veterans of the World War, some 500 in number, by displaying their pictures in glass covered cases on the interior wall of the courthouse at Winamac. In this mural collection are the pictures of twentynine Pulaski County soldiers who made the supreme sacrifice. The display is as unusual as it is appropriate.
