MEMORIAL DAY.
Mineral Points Tribute to the
Memory of her Dead
Soldiers.
A Large Gathering, Impressive cere.
monies and an Able Grafton.

Memorial day, Saturday, May 30,
was appropriately observed in this
city, under the auspices of the Geo.
II. Legate Post. The order of the
day was well carried out. In the
forenoon the graves of deceased
soldiers buried in the several ceme-
terits of the city were decorated
with flowers by the comrades of the
Post. Shortly after one o'clock in
the afternoon: the procession formed
in front of the city hall and led by
the band marched to Ross grove,
where the services were held. Here
a memorial column had been erected
on which were to be placed wreaths
for deceased soldiers who had enlist
ed from Mineral Point and vicinity.
Commander Priestley presided and
made few timely remarks before
announcing the programme. After
music by the band, and singing Of
the hymn America" the opening
prayer was offered by Rev. M. Chase.
The roll of the dead was called by
adjutant J. H. Tyack, responded to
by comrade G. q. Cox, and as each
response was made a memorial
wreath was placed upon the column
DIR. J. H. Vivian next read an ap-
propriate poem entitled Cover
their Graves with Flowers" then
came the Grafton by Chaplain E. E.
Clough. The orator gloried not in
war. War is terrible. Its legacies
are limitations and affections. Wars
are never fought by those who are
responsible for them. The war to
save the Union was fought by the
common people whose one grand
central thought was the preservation
of the Union. The soldiers of the
moth hated not the soldiers of the
south. They loved the Union and
fought to preserve it. The speaker
referred in glowing terms to the
words and acts of Lincoln, Grant
and Sherman. He spoke of Gen.
Grant as a successful general who
knew how to be magnanimous as
well as brave. The Grafton was uni
versally pronounced an able one
upon which much thought had
been bestowed. Rev. A. G. Smith,
Presbyterian minister of Galena, was
present, and was called upon for an
address. He spoke briefly but his
remarks showed that he fully enter
ed into the spirit of the occasion.
After music by the band and sing
ing by the choir the benediction was
pronounced by Rev. Mr.. Smith, and
thus closed the services in memory
of the departed heroes who died
that the Union might live.

Mr.. VIM. Harris, of this town,
complains of the ravages the mink is
making among our fish, he says: 81
have trapped great many mink in
my time and have invariable found
on opening them that their intestines
are filled with small fish bones" If
this be the case, (and we have every
reason to believe it is, coming from a
man of honor, and who is observant
in watching after such matters) it
seems 10 us that it is useless to place
trout in our streams to feed them.
Our laws protect the mink, and pro-
tect the fish for them to feed on.
Another feature is, the skin of the
mink is almost valueiess at present,
and is apt to be, and the sooner our
legislature enacts a law offering q
small premium for the scalp of the
pest the better. Yes, a small prem
ium would do, as our streams are
fairly lined with the pests.
The highest market price in the

Stray Notice.

| HOLERA is rapidly NOV
ing westward and will soon
. appear in this country. In
order to prevent disastrous
effects from its rayages every
preventive should be en-
ployed, and the system
should be in perfect condi-
ton. At this season Of the
year the system is in weak
state and easily susceptible
to dangerous disease. Pain
in the back, WEAKNESS, las
situde, headache, dyspepsia,
indigestion, kidney and liver
complaints are but the result
ofneglect. During the last
visitation of cholera to this
country no medicine was
found equal to Mishler's
Herb Bitters, both as pre-
ventive and cure, and it has
been equally successful in
all the diseases above men,
toned. 1t renews and in
vigorates the blood, restor-
ing to health and strength,
and thus shielding the
system from disease.
