Mr. Gus. Wolters sent to the local
Post Office farce cards telling of.his,
visit to the model post office oper-
ated by the government at the
Panama Pacific Exposition.
Mr. Max Wolters sends to the
Gazette a postal greeting from cool
Co'orado. He states that he visit-
ed the beautiful union printers
home and found it a most delight-
ful place.
Max says he is feeling fine and
enjoying life but we would advise

of the Civil War and the principles j
for which the Con ederacy fought,

Throughout Mr. Bagby’s address
the audience was held spell-bound,
but every few minutes they would
give out the “Rebel yell” which,
during the war, was a signal to the
Yanks that the “boys” were com-j
ing, and that they meant bus'ness, j
too. The address of Mr. Bagby was j
well timed and to the point, and
that it pleased the old soldiers was
evidenced by the frequent plaudits
upon him. At the close of the ad-
dress, the old soldiers gathered
about the speaker to shake his
hand and to thank him for giving
them such an interesting talk of the
days of ’61 and ’65 and what
brought about the terrible war.

talented, her reading showing close
study and deep understanding of
her art.

a Cobbler’s Shop.”
Both plays were well put on
and well acted. Messrs. Jos.
Hruby, B. J. Novak and Anna
Janecekhad leading parts and all
were well acted. The play was
given for the benefit of the
building fund of the Catholic
Church. The receipts amounted
