Gen Bragg Dropped From Grand Army Post
Fono du Lac Wis July 7. At a Grand Army post meeting Gen Bragg was dropped from the roll by a 3 to 1 vote in a stormy session. The push to oust him related to his opposition to the Dependent Pension bill. He had not paid dues, and the post ruled he was never a member, though he had been its first commander. The action occurred in his absence.

Estimating Johnstown flood losses sparks disputes
Amid reports from Johnstown and ongoing national coverage, experts debate mortality totals from the flood. Early tallies claimed 23,000 registered, yet 16,000 were counted, with duplicates and area-wide losses pushing possible deaths toward 15,000. Including travelers and transients, estimates rise toward 20,000, a figure dismissed by some as inflated for corporate interests seeking to limit liability. The era’s press debates the scale as investors worry over stock and property depreciation. A separate vignette recalls a political scene where a candidate accepts a nomination, highlighting patriotic resolve and a jab about salary for public service.
