MEMORIAL DAY.

Decorating graves with flowers is
a custom as old as civilization itself,
but Memorial Day has been made
national festival and given a special
and permanent significance. Near
ly thirty years ago the cry of TO
Arms! was sounded throughout the
Union. The cloud which for a long
time had been rising on the. South
ern horizon had burst. Fort Stump
ter'had been fired upon and the call
for $4,000 men was made. A civil
war, with all that the term implies,
seemed inevitable, and to forecast
the result was beyond the wisest
among US. 1t was not a war of
races, for we were all of one COM
mon ancestry. 1t was brother
against brother and father against
son. II was not the strong and
mighty against the weak. 1t was
Greek against Greek and the conflict
was long and terrible. Those whose
graves we annually decorate with
flowers offered themselves a volun-
tary and living sacrifice upon the al
tar of their country. They preserved
our government, those men whose
graves we deck with prayer and
eulogy. They not only vindicated
the light of the Nation to be and
to endure, but they also demonstrate
ed anew the vital fact that human
life voluntarily yielded up is a tri-
umph and conservation. We can
add nothing to the fame of these
heroic dead. The story tells itself
in a manner not to be equalled by
the most brilliant rhetoric. Let us
cherish these memories-let Us never
forget to celebrate this day and with
each recurring year make our annual
pilgrimages to the graves Of those
noble heroes. Let us see to it that
as the years roll one after another
into eternity this day which we Gel
citrate will become more sacred and
more fully consecrated to the mem
DRY of the brave dead. Not for the
purpose Of keeping alive antipathies
and sectional iealousies, but to keep
in grateful remembrance those who
fell as sacrifices for the preservation
Of our homes and government. The
ranks of those who were spared are
every year growing thinner and
soon the graves to be visited and
decorated will exceed in number the
comrades who survive, and while we
cast the flowers of remembrance up
on their tombs let US endeavor to
kindle afresh the fires of patriotism
and above all let US not forget those
who survive. Every soldier was a
hero and as such is entitled to our
highest praise, to our warmest graft
tude. Flowers for the dead; honor
for the living.

The Idier Has No Religion.

Rev. Brown, in his sermon of two
weeks ago, said that 1.-The idler was
not supposed to have any religion
There is food for reflection in that
idea. and while we were not prepared
to give it an unqualified endorse
ment at the time, the more we think,
the stronger we are convinced Of its
absolute truth. The idle, of all
men, fails to work cut the purpose
of his creation.
But there yet is another side
which may be considered from a
non-rsligious standpoint. The idler
is of all men the most miserable.
While it is true that some, from
force Of circumstances and from
habit as well, work entirely too
hard, the hardest possible work is
for man of reasonable health to
refrain from working at all. Mans
organization is such that he must
work, physically, or mentally, if he
wishes Co obtain the highest possible
pleasure in living. That man who
is seeking for wealth. only that he
may be able to refrain from work,
is in search Of something which if
obtained will be much greater
curse to him than the most abiect
poverty could be. We must work.
Thou shalt earn thy living by the
sweat of thy brow, is as true to-day
as when it was first uttered. Don't
become disheartened and discouraged
because you must work. You can't
be happy without it. 1t is highly
commendable to work for a compe-
tency and with a view of enjoying
the blessings of life, but never sup
pose that when you have obtained
them you can fold your hands and
be contented. 1t is impossible.
How much lighter our labors
would seem if we could only realize
the truth, shat work is as essential
to our happiness as food is to our
physical well being"
Let US then be up and doing
With heart for any fate,
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait"

Another Bad Treasurer.

City Treasurer Peak, Of Kansas
City, Mo-, has been suspended and
the office is now in the hands of the

this recent recruit to the little army
of defaulting democratic treasurers
has only knocked down" S21, 006.16
of the peoples money according to
the Kansas City Star, which in COM
menting editorially on the matte
tritely says:
1T is ali very well to say that the
party is certainly not responsible for
individual misconduct, but that is a
mere truism, which people are in
clined to sneer at; the recent epidem-
ic of defalcation among the guar :
ans Of public funds chosen by the

The Popular Line

To the east IS the Burlington Route
(Hannibal & st. Joseph r. RI. The ser
vice by this line has been constantly i'm
proved until it has reached a degree OF
excellence surpassed by none; and equal
ed by few. The Burlington's ELF is
probably the most popular train running
between the Missouri river and Chicago
being solid through vestibule train OF
Pullman sleepers aud free chair cars.
Leaving Kansas City, Atchison and St
Joseph after supper, the passenger =
lives in Chicago at 9:15 in the morning.
Having taken breakfast on one of ne
Burl;ngton's world renowned dining cars
he is ready for the days business or in
ample time to make all eastern connec-
tons.
For the convenience OF passengers from
Kansas City the ''Eli' takes dining car
ont of Kansas City on which east-bound
passengers are served with a supper
which is equaled by few hotels.
The Burlington's st. Louis line though
comparatively new, is becoming better
known and growing in popular favor
every day until it bids fair in the near
ire to be the fave line between the
ouri river and !. Louis. This train
il, e:zting of through sleepers, chair cars
end coaches leaves Kansas City, Atcbison
and st. Joseph after supper and puts
passenger in st. Louis for breakfast, and
ample time to make all connections.
You are also requested to bear in mind
that the Burlington (Kansas City st. Jo-
seph & Council Bluffs r. r. is the only
line running through Pullman buffet
sleeper between Kansas City and st JO-
seph and ST. Paul and Minneapolis. This
is the short line between Kansas City,
{. Joseph and Omaha. Through daily
trains with sleepers and chair cars.
In whatever direction you travel be
sure your tickets read over the Burllng-
ton route, thereby insuring yourself the
greatest amount of comfort, with the
least expense OF money or time.

date AGAINST McNaIl.

A special from Stockton, Kan, of

People troubled with constipation must
be very CAREFUL what kind of a laxative
they use, as so many medicines are put up
to sell which are absolutely without any
merit or value, and which, if taken, will
get your bowels in such state that you
will be compelled to keep on using physic
the year around in, order to enjoy any
kind of health. Beggs' Liver Pills do
more to keep family in good health than
any other on the market, as they are put

NOT AFRAID TO DIE,
Soudanese Rather Than Surrender Blow
Themselves Up.

Soudanese Rather Than Surrender Blow
Themselves Up.
NEW YORK, June THE latest news
from the French Soudan tells of some
thing unusual in the annals Of African
warfare-negro soldiers blowing them
selves up rather than surrender, The
correspondent Of LIE Temps, a Paris
semi-oficial paper, usually well-in-
formed, writes from st. Louis, Senegal,
on the date of May 8:
The telegraph has recently informed
you about the taking of the town of
Segon. Commander Archinard, anxious
to terminate the campaign by new
feat of arms, marched with a small
column composed Of artillery upon the
town of Ouosebougou in order to dis
perse the last partisans of King ANNA
dou. The place is a real fortress, three
kilometres in circumference, and it is
defended by about 900 men.
The attack began April "a, and at 8
o'clock in the forenoon. Our valiant
troops succeeded during the day in oc-
cupying portion of the town, but the
Toucouleurs kept fighting inch by inch.
The battle ragged all throughout the
night with great fury. 1t was fight
corps-a-corps and only on April 20, at 5
o'clock in the evening, were we the
masters of Ouosebougou.
AS to its defenders not single one
survived; they were all killed on the
spot or blew themselves up with their
chief, Bandiogou, by setting fire to their
powder magazine. On our side our SOL
diers have fired 900 cannon shots and
burned $4,000 cartridges. We had fif-
teen killed and seventy-two wounded.
The bambaras auxiliaries are those who
suffered the most.
Two Europeans only were killed and
seven wounded; among the latter are
five officers, but fortunately the wounds
are not dangerous. Ahmadou, who was
reported as anxious to have his revenge,
has not moved from Dianghirte, where
he has taken refuge. The column con-
tinues to-day its route toward Kita.

John Smith, got ON a raft and began
padding about when about hundred
yards from shore the raft capsized. The
cries of the children brought Mrs. Smith,
mother Of the boys to the scene. She
rushed into the water to save her sons.
She got into the deep water, however,
and before assistance could reach them
the mother and both sons were drowned.
Up to late hour the bodies had not
been recovered.

this cause multitudes in the east believe
the west given up wholly to the pursuit
of money, and deficient in the culture and
refinement of long organized and intelli-
gent communities Multitudes in the
west regard the people of the east as effete
and weak-excrescences upon the body
polite, or leeches in the form of gold bugs
and coupon cutters. The press of the
south inculcates sectional pride and SEN
sitiveness which suspects an enemy in the
mildest critic and hostility in every other
section. But the fierce light of universal
publicity which will beat upon this exhi-
bition, and the commingling here of citi-
zens from every part Of the Union will do
much to demonstrate that we are one peo-
pie, with common interests and a common
destiny.

the 4O0th anniversary of the discovery of
America by Columbus be celebrated; let
it be commemorated by an industrial ex-
hibition grander in extent and volume
than any ever seen before let the old
world know what their children have done
in the new; let the stars and stripes float
from every roof, and turret, and flagstaff;
let the bands announce the opening and
closing of the fair each day with the in
spring strains of our National anthem
and we will separate from this grand com
munion, impressed more deeply than ever
before with the fact that the proudest
title on earth is that of American citizen.
Mr.. Depew's Speech to Little Children.
Chauncey M. Depew was given a
rousing reception at the Auditorium
Thursday morning by party of chill
dren, who are to produce Cinderella"
next week. The children, to the num-
ber of about 100, reached the Audi
torium about 1890, and marched up to
Parlor 214, where Mr.. Depew and his
party were quartered. Each child bore
an enormous bouquet, which was
promptly bestowed upon Mr.. Depew.
From behind the mass of flowers Mr..
Depew managed to make little speech,
which he closed as follows: children,
l would rather receive these flowers
from you than the plaudits and votes of
all the delegates who will assemble in
1892 to nominate presidential candi-
date. One of the children made a lit
tie speech in reply, and after few
words Of pleasant chat the little ones
bade Mr.. Depew and his associates
good-by.
