The ANNUAL CUSTOM
OF Decorating the Graves of
Soldiers Will Obtain
as Usual.
Preparations This Year for
the Observance of Mem
orial Day.
A Street Demonstration to
Precede the Cemetery
Exercises.
Unknown Graves Will be Dec
grated Just as the Fa-
miliap Ones.

The arrangements for the observance
of Decoration day next Friday are
nearly complete. Should the weather
be propitious, it is expected that the
ceremonies. including the pageant and
the decoration of the graves of the dead
defenders of the stars and stripes, VIII
excel all observances of the past. 1t
has been the experience of those who
have colated the list of soldiers graves
for former Decoration day observances,
that many graves were accidentally
overlooked The committee on graves
have arranged a list OF graves so
far as known TO them, and they
request the friends and relatives
of such dead soldiers as have no tomb
stones and are, therefore, liable TO be
overlooked. to report the names TO ell
Their |. b. CLANCY in the state nIstoTlcal
societv's rooms or Joseph l.. Brigham
IN the state auditors office. If any
have been omitted, Snd they are SO re-
ported. they will be at once added to
the list. which may be seen at the cap
itol at any time,
Strange as it may seem, it may be OF
interest to explain that there are many
old soldiers graves in the st. Paul
cemeteries that are not marked by
tombstOnes This, despite the fact that
the United States government has made
provision for bearing the cost OF erect
ing such marks of esteem and remem-
brance. Then the fault for neglect lies
entirely with relatives and friends. The
