VIII Turn Out in the Line of March
The Grand Army post in Butte has made
extensive preparations for the proper OBJ
~servance OF Memorial Day. Commander
Shoemaker has been u~ntiring in his efforts
to see that nothing shall be omitted that
will tend to make the solemn ceremonies OF
the day as impressive as the opportunities
at his disposal will permit. Accordingly,
our citizens OF patriotic ~sympathies, who
desire to do honor to the dead who fell in
their country's defence, can do SO to day
under the most imposing circumstances
and amid the most appropriate surround
ings that have ever attended a celebration
in Butte. The sentiment surrounding the act
OF streWing flowers on the graves of the
nations dead is a beautiful one and ap-
peals powerfully to the highest emotions OF
our nature. 1t is keeping green the memory
OF the deeds OF those who answered their
country's call in the hour OF it's direst
need. True. there were no battlefields in
Montana where the blue and the gray met
and poured ont their blood like water in

sacred. But there are buried in the silent
CITY OF the Dead, many who bore
the brunt and heat of battle and who
risked their lives for the cause OF freedom
with as unhesitating readiness as those who
persisted in the Battles OF the Wilderness
or in the slaughter before Richmond. The
cered onies OF to-day will therefore be figur-
alive of all the long array of heroes who
marched into the jaws OF death on the
field of battle twenty-five years ago
as well as the men who survived |
that time that tried mems souls
and have been gathered by the Grim
Reaper since then and now lie under the
shadow OF the eternal hills, the backbone
of the continent, far removed from the
scenes OF their vaior. 1t is in honor
especially of these that the following exer-
cises have been arranged to-day, SO that
when the children of tender years see the
imposing procession passing and ask it's
reason, they may be told the story of the
internecine strife that deluged this country
in blood and the undyiDg principles estab-
lished by the arbitrament of a
The members of Lincoln Post No. 2 will
meet promptly at their Hall at IL O'Clock
noon, from whence they will march to the
Grand Opera House.
