"Wv Not Sunday ?"
6,725 acres

Decoration Day will fall this year on
Sunday. why" it is asked, "change the
day." 1t would be better to do so for sew.
eral reasons The day Is not Of the essence
OF the commemoration. 1t may therefore
be changed II the occasion requires with.
out injury or offense. For such change
there is abundant precedent. Whenever
Fourth Of July heretofore has occurred on
Sunday the day has uniformly been
changed to either Saturday or Monday.
The Fourth of July, while 1t Is celebra-
ton, is equally with the 30th Of May a
commemoration of valiant deeds and those
who performed them. The objection to
taking Sunday for Decoration Day does
not arise with serious Christian people
from any confusion of the terms as mistak-
ing commemoration for celebration. In
the sacred mysteries of religion thing
may be both commemoration and a cele-
bratiOn. With most persons, perhaps, the
commemorative aspect of Decoration Day
is lost ia the mere floral celebration; and,
At all events, il is not a religious but a pa
triotc commemoration. They are not the
heroic virtues of Christians especially, but
noble deeds of noble and patriotic men,
who from any motives whatever laid down
their lives in the cause of their country
this day for visiting and decorating the
graves of the soldiers is intended to keep
fresh In the minds and hearts Of American
citizens.
But another and more serious objection
to Sunday for Decoration Day is that 1t is
the one day of the week that is pre-
occupied. 1t is the day set apart by Di
vine appointment and recognized by the
common law of the land for the worship of
the Almighty. On Sunday a clergyman's
first duty by canon and by conscience Is In
the chancel and the pulpit. Many con-
scientious clergymen, therefore, who would
be glad to participate in the services of
Decoration Day will be prevented from
doing so by what they must consider du-
ties of paramount importance; as also
many of their people for the same reason.
They have the same objection to these ser
vices on Sunday they have to Sunday fun
erals when they could easily be avoided.
None who wish to participate in this ma
tional observance should be deprived of the
privilege because of the day. The attend
ance may be larger on Sunday, but its
makeup will miss probably some of the
best and most patriotic element we have
among u.s. ALTERNo PARTENO.

Probate Court .

The will of the late Milton H. Swift was
submitted for probate on Tuesday. 1t is
very brief, the provisions of it being very
few. There are two special requests one
of 81 600 to Emily Swift, of Dexter, Mich,
widow of Cassius Swift brother of the de
ceased and one Of $4,000 to his niece Jen-
ME 3. Hale, the same to be paid within two
years. The rest ana residue of the estate is
given to the testator's son, Edward G. Swift,
who is appointed executor without bond
The will was made on the 9th Of March and
witnessed by D. b. Snow, George s. Paine
and s. r. Blanchard. Though not required
to give bond the executor gave his personal
bond for $4,000. The estate is valuable
one, and consists of real, personal and mixed
property.
IN tie matter Of the probate Of The wiV Of Fred
erick Wecke, late deceased.
On October 81, 1884, the deceased, who
resided in Richland, made will, leaving
his property (Which consisted Of 800 acres
of land and some personal property to mis-
four married daughters-Mrs Strohmeyer,
Mrs. Lcighthart, Mrs. Clause and Mrs. wills
man and appointed Nicholas Shawback eI.
ecutor. by the terms of the will Mrs. Clause
received more real estate, AMI the personal
property was divided equally. After the
will was made it was delivered to the execu-
tor, who kept it in his possession, and shortly
after the death of the tesiator brought it in
to court for probate The probating of it is
resisted by Mrs. Strohmeyer, Mrs. Leight.
hart and Mrs. Wilsman on the ground that
in January last the deceased made another
will which they produce in court as "the
last will and testament The matter was
heard before Judge Evans on May 18th
and 18th, Senator Duncan appearing for
the executor and Messrs Brewer and
Widmer for the contestants. The ground of
the contestants claim is that the latest will
should be probated because it better ex.
pressed the intention OF the testator, giving
to the heirs equal shares. This is resisted
by the executor and Clause, whose wife is
now dead, who state that it was obtained by
undue influence, and that it was made when
the testator was non compes. Evidence wa:
heard upon the subject of his mental condi
ton prior to his death, and the court tool
the matter under advisement. The contest
ing heirs ask for the appointment of Hon. C
l.. Hoffman,, of Eagle, as administrator.

The People, &C., John flanagan. abortion.
The much.talked.of abortion case of The
People on the complaint OF Il izabcth Ar
mold, of Strcator, against John flanagan, Of
the same city, was commenced on Thursday,
Nay 18th, when the jury in the Rossak case
retired aud closed Wednesday. The case was
of that character that attracts a large atten-
dance, and the court room was well filled
throughout; the whole Of the trial. Miss Ar
} d. the complaining witness, is "A comely-
liking woman Of twenty three, who wears
pretty dress Of brown cashmere and vel
vet, and who, at least, looks modest. She
has lived in Streator tor some time. Lana
gan, who is defendant, is interested in n
Slrea,0r bus line, and always has borne a
good reputation with those who know him.
The complaint was that after an undue and
ill5gitimate intimacy between the two it was
found Necessary to procure an abortion, and
that flanagan assisted on December 24th,
1855, in bringing it about. Miss Arnold
claimed at the time Of her receiving Lana
CAMS attention she was engaged to marry
him. Defendant denied in toto Miss Arnold's
charge, and set up in defense that her course
against him was blackmailing scheme and
that Miss Arnold is not woman of good
character A great number Of witnesses
IA Ia
trial. The o, ening statement was made for
the prosecution by Walter Reeves, who as
sisted the prosecutor. and for the defense by
Henry Mayo who was assisted by J. I
Murdoch Miss Arnold was kept on tn,
stand several hours, and throughout the
whole course Of her examination bore hrcsel
remarkably we'll. She wen into every de
tail Of the case and without deviation held
10 the one story. Her crossexamination by
Mr. Mayo was q remarkably rigid one Tn,
defendant said nothing on the stand unit
Monday afternoon. He contradicted tn,
complaining witness in each and every par
f,--'lr. alleging that he never had kept com
pany with her, and that he was not guilty
IN support Of his statement of not hayinI
been intimate with her, he produced an aili
dayit made by her before j. T. Murdoch
notary public, stating that defendant ha
never been intimate with Eer at any time o
under any circumstances. The case was al
gucd at length by the attorneys. and o
Tuesday afternoon it was given to the jury
After being out ten hours they returned
verdict Of mot guilty" and the defendar
vas dismissed.
The next case called was that OF The Pc,
Yiey Jerry Cdaty, for rape. which on motto
oi the states attorney Mas continued. III
