The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1885-08-15

In common with nearly every city and
village in the Union, the people of Ottawa
Joined, on Saturday last, In the observance
Of funeral rites, simultaneously with the
great pageant in New York, in honor Of the
dead chieftain, Gen. Grant The day opened
with threatenings of rain, but as the time
for the proposed ceremonies approached,
these gave way to humid, oppressive kind
of heat that would have been dangerous but
that the sun remained behind the clouds.
The draping of public buildings and the
many leading business places, which had
been begun soon after the first tidings Of
Grants death had been received, was contin-
ued, and by Saturday morning nearly every
store of prominence, and many private resi-
dences were draped more or less deliberately,
all exhibiting good taste in the blending of
the colors suited to the occasion.
In accordance with the mayors request
all places Of business were closed from | to
s clock. The procession, which was under
the auspices of Seth c. Earl Post, G. A. r.,
included the members of that Post, Company
D, of the |. n. g., the city council, city Off
GERS, orator Of the day, &C., and numerous
citizens in carriages, the fire department and
a number of the civic societies of the city.
r. C. Stevens was marshal Of the day, his
aides being Jas. Milligan, Jr, Geo. NJ. Trim
BILE, r. c. Hit, p. j. Carey, DR.. r. b. Dyer,
Frank Trumbo and A. F. Schoch.
The procession was organized, pursuant
to programme, on Columbus street, the right
resting on Madison, and, headed by Fitzger-
AIDS band, marched by the prescribed route
to Washington square, where spacious and
appropriately decorated stand had been
erected for the occasion, on which the exer-
cises ere held Mayor Allen, as president
of the day, introduced them with few feel
ing and appropriate remarks, after which
there was music by the band and then sing
ing by double quartet of gentlemen under
the leadership ofF.A. Kendall. Then followed
the funeral rites in accordance with the rit-
ual of the G. A. r., being very impressively
rendered under the leadership of Rev.
Baker, chaplain of s, C, Earl Post. After
more music Mayor Allen introduced Attorney
General Hunt, who delivered an exceptional
ly able and eloquent funeral Grafton. We
regret that our space will not admit of its
publication, while no such synopsis as we
could make of it from memory would do it
justice. Another song from the quartette
and music by Fitzgerald's band closed the
ceremonies.
The heat was oppressive throughout, which
accounts for so few pedestrians taking part
in the procession At the square two or
three were Frustrated by the heat but not
seriously.

The Institute,

Much interest attaches to the teachers
institute, held in this city for tire past three
weeks 1t is not alone in the numbers that
have attended which makes it so remarkable
gathering as in the great amount of good
actually accomplished. Numerically consid-
cred the Institute just closed was probably
the largest gathering ever held in Northern
Illipeis-the total number enrolled being
nearly $50. Fully IS per cent. Of the at
tendance were teachers of ungraded or coun-
try schools, the ones the County Superin-
tendent was most desirousrof reaching, while
many of them were here who were not resi-
dents of the county. The teachers are GER
tainly deserving of the highest commenda-
ton, when it is known that numbers ofthem
had to make sacrifice 10 attend the 1nsti-
tute, and directors in engaging teachers for
the ensuing fall and winter terms in the
country should not fail to remember this.
They should give those who attended the
substantial recognition of an increase of sal
airy, and, by all means when satisfactory
teacher has been provided, make no change
during the scholastic year. The constant
change of teachers is one of the most per
.nicious and fatal blows 10 the country schools
Many directors will engage lady to teach
two months in spring, another for the sum
mer term and male teacher for few
months in the winter. This practice of the
rural school system is destructive of all good
and should be stopped. Supt. Stockdale has
kept record of those in attendance, and will
favor, so far as in his power all those who
an interest in perfecting them
selves by attendance at the Institute, the
beneficial results of which will certainly be
felt during the coming year. Now let those
who are in authority be liberal in rewardiug
the earnest efforts Of those teachers who have
to render themselves worthy of
the Office of instructors, making the profess
sion what it ought ever 10 be-a source of
pride and proper ambition.

and ready for delivery. He handles only
the best brands, such as Lehigh, Lackawan.

and such as has given universal satisfaction
during the past two years. This is really
the time to put in your coal. 1t is cheaper
now than it will be later; and the public
may rest assured of the lowest price in trad

says he will not be undersold by any dealer,

rule. So that by leaving your orders with
him now, you will save a considerable mar

be left at Burke Bros grocery store or by
telephone No. 10.
