stiff pasteboard box and cutting them
into lengths of about twenty-five inches,
says the NeD York World. Punch
holes through the pasteboard on either
side, and then lace them into the form
of an oblong box, with different colored
lace or ribbon strings. Two of the
corners should be tied by double

And l had no hope of coming light;

Once more the voice of singing bird,

Sunshine and shadows, pass away;

and flag raising on the High school
grounds. Colonel Doherty, who has
been appointed marshal, said this morn
ing that the parade will start from
Center square promptly at 10 o'clock
and will consume about forty. five
minutes. As nearly as can be learned
from the committee and from Superin-
tendent Crosby the exercises at the
school grounds will not occupy over one
hour. Colonel Doherty requests that all
societies, civic and military, report to
him in writing immediately, as to the
number of men they expect to turn out
ON that day. He desires to issue an
order regarding the parade.
Mayor Baldwin is very enthusiastic
over the memorial exercises and in an
interview this morning expressed wish
that the fire department. take part in the
parade. He said that a number of
prominent fremen expressed a desire to
participate in the exercises, but they
hesitated because so many of the men
belong to other societies. The mayor
wished, however, to see the firemen in
the line.
The knights of Pythias have ap-

seem to be on the increase and several
deaths have already been reported. The
disease seems to be coming from the
west this time, rather than from the
east, but it is yet too early to predict
how severe or how general it will be.
In Butte, Mont, there are said to have
been fourteen deaths in one day re-

suppressing the facts, are displaying
considerable anxiety. There is yet
no cause for alarm in Min

of cases, but the increase is not rapid,
nor is the disease. as a rule, of an ag-
gravated type. The wife of Health
Commissioner E. S. Kelly has been
down with it for some days, and at one
time her life was despaired of. Mrs.
=. B. Spaulding, eighty years old, who
died yesterday. is reported to have died
with influenza. There is a difference
of opinion among physicians as to
whether the present trouble Is really la
