INDIGNANr.-There is much in
dignation over the proposition,
made public recently, to abandon the
old grave yard in this place, and
force the removal of the remains of
those buried there to Lone Oak
Cemetery, and then after that has
been accomplished to prepare the
grounds for public park, and when
the monument to the memory of
the heroes of the great Indian battle
is erected, to locate it in this park.
Those who are agitating this med
ding with the "city of the dead y do
not know the indignation and wrath
they are bringing down upon
their heads. There is no authority
for perpetrating such a horrible act,
and if there was, we doubt if IA
council could be elected who favored
such a barbaric idea. If the old
grave yard is vacated by legal au-
thority, who would own the land?
Amt there such a thing as rcversion?
So far as the REGISTER is concerned
it Will resist such a monstrous prop
osition with all the power it has.
Let the dead rest in peace and
quiet. There is sacredness about
this old grave yard that will be
jealously upheld and guarded. No
one who has friends buried there
will ever consent to its despoliation.
The Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation, of Hinton, this State, is
composed chiefly of railroad men.
The Association has one of the
finest buildings in the city in which
to hold its meetings, and every con-
venience from a bath room to bed.
1t is an association that should be
formed in every railroad and river
town. The men who follow these
dangerous avocations have a hard
time of it, and when they get into
division or port, they feel encour-
aged when they have such rooms
to go to, knowing and feeling that
they are not trespassing upon the
goodness and bounties of others,
but that they are members upon an
equal footing with all, with same
privileges and rights. 1t is with
pleasure that we grant the request
of Mr.. Winslow, the Secretary, to
place this Association upon the REG
lister list. Mason county railroad
men who may be along that line
will find the REGISTER there on file.
Wild ducks are making their APP
pearance on our rivers, and soon
the boys will have fine sport.

Company opened to a crowded
