If the honest voters of Ohio wish

Eery careful how they vote this

majority in the Legislature there is
no question or doubt but what they
will attempt to repeal or destroy
the principal features of our pres

style. The parade in honor of the dead
was large and imposing, and the Amer

practically suspended. all the courts
and government buildings being closed.
Athletic games, the races, base ball, the
theater, and excursions were all well
patrOniZed, Notwithstanding the damp
weather and lowering skies. 1t was in
fact, holiday in which everybody
enjoyed himself the best way possible.
The graves in the cemetery were, as
usual, decorated with loving hands, and
all the soldiers monuments were cover
ed with flowers. The programme for the
afternoon included services at the tomb

at 2:3O, trayersing the principal thor
oughtaroS and reasSembling at Smith
park, where the final exercises were to
take place. The procession was yerv
large one, and witnessed by crowds of
cltlzens. 1t was headed by platoon of
mounted policemen, Lieut.. Budy in
charge. The chief marshal of the
parade was Capt. NJ. J. O'Connor: the
81. Badger and Capt. Eben Oakes as
aides. Capt. G. j. SteeS acted as mar
shal, and his aides were G.. A. Gotwold
and q. o. Austin. The first division of
the parade was composed of the G. A.
Il. posts, and every man who walked in
line bore evidence of the march of time.
Ihree-tourths of them bore traces of the
terrible conflict little over quarter of
century ago they valiantly passed
through. But their ranks are yearly
growing thinner. and the aged, bow
downed appearance of a good many
veterans indicate that their course is
Well-nigh run. 1t is difficult to conceive
now they managed to undergo the try
ing march of yesterday afternoon. But
tney did, and under the inspiriting thrill
OF martial airs, they logged along with
unOounded enthusiasm. The posts in
the procession were:
Gen. Ord No. Dob. Converse, Com.
Gettysburg No. 14S-D H. Ball, Com.
Garfield No. S-W B. Robinson, Com.
AeIer No. 21-I. ii. B. Beebe Com.
Albert Scneffer walked in the ranks,
and. singular to say, he was the one ex-
ceptlon of the prominent citizen and
veteran who walked with the men whu
bore the burden and burnt of battle. 1t
is singular that more members of the
Loyal Legion do not participate in these
Memorial day celebrations. The four
st. Paul companies of the First regi-
ment. with Maj. a. z. Pierce in com
mand, made up the second division, the
uniform rank of the Knights Of Pythias
in their gorgeous uniforms filling up
the third division. The commanders
of the Knights were Col. e.
u. William, Capt. Charles Metz,
Capt. NJ. n. Goss and Capt. George l..
Phippen. a number of carriages
brought up the rear of the procession,
which, of course, was nterspersed with
bands of music. The carriages were
not so numerous as on former years, but
among the occupants were noted De-

NOTES.

The attendance mt Smith park was nothing
like ii should have been. The reason is that
the people have difficulty in following the
exercises the speakers not being able to
300 people. An effort should be made by
the G.. A r. men to utilize more than one
stand, and call in the services of several ora
tors.
Members of the Womens Relief corps at
tached to the several posts were accOmmo-
dated with seats on the stand at Smith park
They enthusiastically waved their handker-
chiefs as the veterans took up position ad-
joining the stand.

The Grafton by Senator Stevens was mas
terly one. and will be found well worth Pc

was in the open, as the oratorical effect was
somewhat lost
Miss Reitta Haas demonstrated the DOS

strain which she underwent cannot but have
a serious effect upon her voice.
1t is to be regretted that the full enjoyment
of the people on Decoration day should be
threatened by the unloosing of all the anna

The ladies' floral committee at the decora-
lion of the soldiers graves, was composed OF
Mrs. Brigham, Mrs. Lightberg, Mrs. jenkins

mentioned, but-well, to put it mildly, it
was slightly too long.

A TORTURED CONSCIENCE.
A Californian Voluntarily Con-
fesses Two Murders.


SACRAMENTO, CAL, May 90.-A
strange story came to light here to-day.
Justice of the Peace w. A. Henry was
sitting in his office when two men
drove up in cart and one of them, an
old man of about fifty-6ve years, asked
to see the judge privately. He said his
name was John Sewald and that he
lived on ranch few miles
south of here, near Sutterville. He
said his conscience had been torturing
him for the past two years, and he had
concluded TO make a confession and
take the consequences. Sewald was ac-
companied by his eldest son, and as the
latter never heard of his fathers crimes
the old man requested him to hear the
confession. Sewald then told the story
of how he had murdered two wives
eleven years ago. He said he lived in
Ohio with his wife Catharina and four
children. Prior to that it had been a
happy home, but his wife began to drink
and it became Impossible to live longer
with her. He took two of the children
and fed to Minnesota, locating at a
place called Anoka. A few months
later his wife followed him, and the un-
happy life was resumed. Finally
Sewald says he became so eXasperated
al Ner drunkenness he concluded to Dut
an end to it. Hepurchased arsenic and
put it in her whisky. She died in two
days, ,and he buried her without causing
any suspicion. Three years later he
moved with his children to Wayne, Neb..
and after living there some time.
married again. His second matrimo-
nial adventure, according TO his story,
was worse than the first, and he had
succeeded so we'll the first time in rid
ding himself of his wife that he tried it
again. This time he smothered his wife
with the bedclothes. The coroner of
Wayne investigated the case, but could
get no evidence, and Sewald escaped.
He came to California then and took
up his residence near here. Justice
Henry believes that Sewaid tells the
truth. Others who have known him
during his residence here say is not in
sane, but has been morose over some
great trouble. The matter was report
ed to Sheriff Stanley, who took SewaId
into custody at the latter's own request
until the matter could be investigated.
