Memorial serylees In rla..,.n.

Decoration services, at the school house, in Flagstaff, on Sunday last, were of the most imposing character ever held in our town. The an. nouncement had been made in the CHAMPION that the services would commence at IT o'clock, and long before that time our citizens had gath cred until nearly every seat was filled. The solemn march of the members of the G. A. R., lead by Commander Burns, and Pinkerton bearing the national colors draped in mourning for their dead comrads, each veteran bearing bouquet of flowers, brought back to the old citizens fresh memor. ies of the scenes ot twenty years ago.
 As the old veterans, many of them bearing the scars of battle, entered the school room, the entire congrega- ton arose and remained standing while the soldiers marched around and placed their bouquets oi flowers on the altar and took their seats. The floral display was beautiful and i'm posing. The exercises were opened by singing My Country 'ris of Thee," when Rev. J. F. Pierce read the morning lesson. We have heard many addresses on decoration days during the past fifteen years, but nev- CT before have we listened to so pa thetic and eloquent an effort as that delivered by the Reverend gentleman on this occasion. His words deeply penetra ed the hearts of every person present, and his touching allusions to the parting at home from relatives and friends, the scenes on the battle field, and sympathetic incidents of the war, were so affecting that there was hardly dry eye in the house, and the tears trinkled down the cheeks of many of the old veterans who had experienced just such scenes. It IS an address that will long be remembered by those who were fortunate enough 10 be present, and Ransom Post, G. A. R., of Flagstaff, will cherish a lasting regard for the speaker.

Two Children. Drowned.

On Saturday of last week, after the
 CHAMPION had gone to press, the
 news reached us of the drowning Of two children near Williams, at a
 place known as Johnson canon. Mrs.
 Johnson lives at the point mentioned,
 near the railroad track. widow lady
 with four small children. Two of
 these, boy eight years old and a girl of six, went to pool of water collected against the railroad embank- ment to go in bathing. While in, the little girl got beyond her depth and screamed for help. Her heroic little brother went to her assistance and not being able to swim, both children sunk in the muddy pool and were drowned. A little four year old brother of the two, standing on the bank, witnessed the scene and ran crying to her mother and told her what had happened. The alarm was given and number of men soon col. lected around the pool, and after five or six hours hard work dragging the bottom of the tank, succeeded in re. covering the bodies. Mrs. Johnson was nearly crazed with grief.

H Breed was appointed chairman, and in his plain, matter-of-fact way ex plained the object of the meeting saying that we must have "hell O time" to celebrate the day our fore fathers fought, bled and died to com. merate. Over s4oo were subscribed on the spot, for the expenses of the occasion.

A grand ball in the evening will conclude the days entertainment.
 A general invitation is extended to all, especially our sister cities of Hol- brook and Flagstaff. The citizens in general are working hard already and the success of the day is an as. sured fact-even the ladies taking an active part.
 Frank Hart is now busy hauling his wool clip to the depot for shipment.
 J, H. Breed left on Wednesday for St. Johns, io be gone ten days.
 Fishing E now excellent in the Lit tie Colorado and Clear Creek, and as business on the road is not at its best at present, the railroad boys while away the time tickling the pal ates of the iinny tribe with grub worms.
 A new platform is being put down around the depot, under the super vision of Joe Andres, the "boss" car penter of the A. x P.
 The wish of all the people of Win slow is that all the men, women and children of Flagstaff will come here on the 4th of July and get better ac- quainted and have good time.
 J. H. Perry left on Wednesday for Sidney, Ohio, on visit to his father and mother, and will extend his jour ney to Philadelphia and New York before his return. Some think that Jim has received a letter from his un- cle Grover to come to Washington.

Meanest Sneak in Town.

Malarial gases sneaked up through the poorly constructed drains and made baby very sick with malarial fever. Baby would have died but for timely use of Browns Iron Bitiers. There is nothing meaner in iis way of coming, nor worse in its effects, than this malaria from the under ground regions. Mrs. Mcdonald, of New Haven, Conn, says: "For six years I suffered from the effcc.9 O! malaria, but Browns Iron Bii;ers cured me entirely" Try it when malaria steals in and undermines your constitution. It will give relief.

A great many citizens have so far tailed to see or hear any good reason why members of stock associations are not qualified the same as other citizens, to sit upon juries when per sons accused of having stolen stock are on trial, yet there are those among us who object to their doing so. As general rule, the stock own CTS of this county are fair, candid, law-abiding citizens. They are great respectors of the law and its obliga- tions, and while they do not look kindly upon men who like to increase their wealth by robbing other people, they would, we are quite sure, give all such people fair and impartial trial.

Fourth of Juiy at wins,ow.

The citizens a;e making extensive preparations for a grard Fourth of July celebration at Winslow. Our correspondent at that place gives full particulars elsewhere. As the time is rapidly hurrying, and the Fourth near at hand, and still nothing done in Flagstaff, it is reasonable to suppose our citizens will have to look else where for amusement on that day. We presume Flagstaff will be we'll repre-. sented at Wlnslow on that day.

Suicide at Prescott.

R. J. Rutherford, for many years driver of an express wagon in Pres. colt, and ex-coroner Of Yavapai coun. ty, committed suicide at Prescott, on Sunday night last, by taking dose of morphine. He left letter 'desig hating the men he desired to serve on the Coroner's jury. Deceased was born in Alabama some fifty years ago, lived in Kentucky and California, be- fore coming to Arizona, some eight years ago. He was always jolly, or appeared so, and no one who knew him thought that man of his ten. perament would or could deliberately take his own life. Letters left by him, however, prove. beyond doubt, that he planned suicide, and the result shows that his plan was carried out
 He had financial troubles, but they were of trivial nature, and he left the assertion on record that woman caused him to commit the rash act.

A Gard from Mr.. Oliver 5. Kelly.

To the Editor Of the Globe Republic.
! notice that your reporter has been inter-
viewing a number Of our citizens with refer
ence to the location Of the proposed new
government building, the substance of which
was published in the SUNDAY GLOBE. Among
those interviewed was our honorable citizen,
j. Warren Keller, in which he says that it
would probably cost $4,000 to put the
foundation under the building il built on
Market Square. Now as this statement is
calculated TO mislead those not fully posted
in putting in foundations in the above To-
cality, ! desire to say word: have
probably built AS many foundations for
heavy buildings in the vicinity above named
as any one in the city and claim to know
something about it. From FIVE to six feet
below the top Of the street at either the
southwes corner OF Market and High or the
southeast corner OF Center and High you
reach solid body Of clay and gravel, which
as experience has shown, makes firm ioun-
da,ion, equally good as eau be found on
the old Jail lot, and as ! understand the
Government always constructs their buildings
with base IN snts Of good depth under ,h' en-
tire building, and would be compelled TO ex-
cavate this FIVE or six feet, no matter where
the buildings pu, would ask where does the
additional cos. come in il tuilt on or near
Market Space, instead Of on the old Jail lor +?
| make the assertion that all the difference
that could be, would be in the v.ry small ad-
ditional expense Of hauling the stone up hill
to the Jail lot.
Personally have no interest in the lpca-
tion other thau any Other citizen and tax
payer, but am interested in locating where it
will te most central to the citizens, and think
ii would be a mistake TO erect this building
on the old Jail lot, away from the center OF
business and population. Any where be-
tween Limestone and Center, on High or
Main, would suit the great mass Of the peo-
pie. would say the southeast corner OF Gem
ter and High, as the land can be procured
there al !, 50 cost than some other.

Major Reno, who was left in COM
mand of Clusters reserve in the great
massacre when that officer lost his life,
is in Washington at present, and has
taken advantage Of TIE presence of Sit
great Sioux chief Major Reno has al
ways desired to obtain from Sitting
Bull the number OF warriors engaged
in the Custer massacre. lie him ,elf,
in his official report, estimated the
number al 5000. He also wished to
talk over the massacre generally, and
hear what Sitting Bull had to say. The
Indians have no means OF counting eX-
ccpt by comparison, and therefore Sit
ting Bull could not state definitely the
number Of warriors engaged in the
massacre.
He, however, with the aid of his fin
gers, called to mind there were seven
tribes and part Of another assembled
on the banks OF the Little Big Horn for
three days before Custer met his fate,
engaged in the sun dance, the greatest
dance known to the Indian race. He
said the bands occupied over 700
tepccs, and from this his interpreter
inferred that there were from 5000 to
5000 Indians attending the dance.
The combined forces Of Reno and Gus
ter would have been easily vauquished
by an enemy SO strong in numbers.
The chief does not wish to talk much
about Custer. He fears the white peo-
pie would even now punish him if they
knew to what extent he was concerned
in the fight. - Washington COrresDOnd-

Cut The Grass nt y ght,

ii is very much better to cut grass in
the afternoon, says the New England
Times, than in the morning when wet
with dew. Cut it so late in the after
noon that it will not have dried at all
crispy, and the dew of the following
night will not ipiure il in the least.
We have aimed to'cut all the grass aft
ernoons, after the team has finished
hauling in the cured hay. 1t is cool
then, and one may run the machine
until well into the evening, ii the work
Is driving, and the surface OF the field
is smooth and free from obstructions
that would cndaugcr the machine. The
next morning, alter the dew is dried
off, set the tcddcr going uud keen il
busy until noon. In the Afternoon the
hay will be dry enough to 20 into the
barn, and there has been no expense
| IN cooking and opening out the cocks
| again i'll the murnng, as by the old
and still quite common way. When
grass Is cut with Il liuayy dew on, il
takes the best part OF the first day to
get the dew dried off, and it becomes
necessary to bunch it up at nighi, or
leave it in the winrUw Tor another days

afternoon cutting, tine risk from bad
weather is reduced about Oue-half, and
the labor and cost ol curiug quile ma
torIally. 1t never Injuries grass to get
wet after being cut II it has not be-
come much wiltcd. Inc heavier the
crop the greater will be the gain from
cutting in the afternoon. From two to
four hours Of hot sunshine upon grass
tree from dew, is amply sufficient for
making it into the best OF hay if it is
kept stirred during the time with a
good tedder. II the crop is very light,
the tedder may he dispensed with.

A METHODIST DOCTOR OF DIVINITY
On PARTISAN PROHIBIrIONIsTs.

The Rev. Dr. r. NJ Hatfield, d. D., of
Evanston, Illinois, is one OF the leading
ministers in the Methodist Episcopal
Church, and he is veteran total absti.
nance man, and temperance reform worker.
In an article contributed to the Advance,
Chicago, the Doctor discusses the ques-
,ion involvedin licensing the traffic and as
serts that people who regard high license
or local option as a fnality deceive them
selves and do not understand the consci.
entious purposes OF the workers in the
temperance cause But the Doctor as
serts, also, and proves, that license legs-
lation, from as far back as 1861, in East
Hampton, New York, up to the present
day, has not been used or designed to en-
courage the liquor traffic or make it re-
spectacle" but to put it under law and
hamper it by restrictions" 1T is not by
license or taxation continues the Doctor,
that any business is promoted" BY way
of Illustrating he says: when a legisla-
ture imposes tax on dogs, or requires
the owner to pay" (take out) "a license for
keeping them, it is done for the
protection OF sheep, not to encourage
the rearing OF dogs" The Doctor then
proceeds to show that license laws are
prohibtory, and that prohibtory laws IL
cense the sale of intoxicants in certain
circumstances Bu, the most effective
portion Of the Doctors article is the clos
ing paragraph, which is written to show
that at is important that We make wise
use of the laws we have for the suppression
of intemperance until we can replace them
by better ones" We call the attention Of
all to this most forcible and startling
statement Of the results Of the work Of the
Partisan Prohibitionists, so far as they are
likely to have any result at all:
| Just at this point, It seems TO me, some of
our friends act with singular unwsdom. lu
their zeal to secure the abstract and ideal,
they" lose sight Of the practical. They will
have prohibition or nothing. Local option
laws, and laws torbidding the sale Of liquor
to minors, and on the Sabbath, do not inter-
ance to those who are enforcing
