MARGARET, the 7-year r-old daughter OF

rious injury, if not death, on Friday. In
company with her brother she had beeh
watching the circus parade. They at
tempted to cross the street in front OF
Jepson & Patton's store, just as Samuel
Cochran drove by with a load of coal
The boy got over all right, but the little girl
was knocked down by one of the horses
and kicked. Bystanders shouted to Sam
to stop, and the team was checked WIFI
the child almost under the wheel. An
other turn would have rolled the heavy
load over her body. Mr.. ]. Leland Frini
picked her up from under the horses anc
carried her to the sidewalk. Beyond sew
eral severe bruises, she was not injured.

REPORTS indicate that wool is slow to
start off. A prominent wool-buyer in
forms us that some wool is being sold at
thirty cents, and this will probably be
the ruling price at the start. Eastern
BUYERS are attempting to "bear" the
market alleging as a reason the increase
in the amount of wool, which during the
last year has come into this country
from abroad. There is much less wool
held over this year than usual, the
amount in the county, according to ex,
perienced estimates, being less than
fifteen thousand pounds, as compared
with over one hundred thousand pounds
| last year.

PATRIOTIC SPEECHES.

FAIR SKIES, FRAGhANI FLONEhS AND
PATRIOTIC SPEECHES.
Drummond Post, G. a. r., observed
Decoration Day with its usual appropri-
ate exercises. The old veterans formed
in line at the Court house at 80, march
ing to the School house, where they were
Joined by the school children. They then
repaired to the Hall, which was soon fill
ed to over1owing. DR.. Hingeley offered
prayer, and the ritual was read by Com
mander Rennard. Representative A. L.
McKelvey was then introduced and
made brief but lifting and effective ad-
dress. He drew pleasing parallel be-
teen the observance of the Passover
by the Jews, and our observance of
Memorial Day. He urged the import
ance of this. 1t is no ordinary holiday,
put day filled with lessons. Let US
cultivate its lessons, and strive to re-
member and honor the brave dead and
the principles they fought for, While at
the same time banishing sectional hate
and cultivating feelings of fraternity and
love.
Hon. c. L. Weems spoke more at
length He deprecated all war, but our
war was a good one, with less dishOnor
and more mercy and love in it than any
other conflict in history. He did not
blame the South for its principles. They
were the result of fortuitous circum-
stances. They were wrong, and we were
eternally right To preserve liberty, or
even life, in 1861, we had to fight. Had
the Rebellion succeeded, the Republican
form of government would have faded
from the earth. Now the earth is
covered with republics, and even Russia
is filled with the air of liberty He re-
ferred to the absurd arguments of the
South, and to the horrors of slavery. A
description of the battle of the Kappa
hammock bluffs, took the old warriors
back to their fights of twenty-five years
ago. The speaker concluded by advising
that every child be taught the awfulness
of war.
Excellent music was furnished by
male quartette. Mr.. Howard Kirk sang
aComrades" with much feeling and in a
highly finished manner. The Post then
fled out, and accompanied by the school
children, laden with fragrant flowers,
proceeded to the NJ. E. Cemetery, where
short services were held at the grave of
Captain Thomas Drmmond, for whom
the Post is named. The graves of old
soldiers throughout the cemetery were
decorated with flags and strewn with
blossoms. Volunteers visited the Union
Cemetery, and performed the customary
duties at the tombs of such of the old he
roes as are laid to rest in that spot. The
fresh earth of new mounds was visible in
both cemeteries, and the line stopped
oftener to drop the flowers than in form
er years.

water has been forced up with considerable
power without rest, building its own crater
until tile power beneath was listed,
and then it gradually closed itself
over at the summit and persisted.
All around and about are dead springs,
and the explorer finds himself literally wad-
ing through beds of calcined magnesia as
fine as flour. and again through deposits of
pure pulveriZed sulphur, which may be
hauled away by the eart-load. Each active
spring or cluster OF springs is a distinct fea-
ture of itself. Each has a succession of lit
tie urns and reservoirs extending in various
directions. The basins are of different di-
mansions, some attaining diameter of forty
feet. The water within is beautifully
transparent, and objects may be clearly
seen many feet below the surface.
In some places an ornamentation is
found closely resembling coral of almost
every variety of shade. Another feature is
fine, silky substance, much like moss, OF
bright vegetable green color. And as the
action of the water keeps il in perpetual
motion and it receives the reflection OF the
blue sky, the skill OF the finest artist would
fail to reproduce the enchanting beauty OF
its appearance. Dreams Of fairyland are
realized in the elegant sculpturIng OF the
deposits, tinged as they are with
wonderful variety of delicate and ar
tiStically arranged cOl0rs, where the
mineral-charged fluid has laid some pave
ments of ali the shades of red, from the
bright scarlet to the lovely rose tint, and OF
beautiful layers of bright Sulphur-yellO w,
inlermngled with tints of green, the whole
presenting scene of architectural magni-
ticence. The whole scene is Sublimity itself:

ETY. of color, and sparkling in the MONDAY
sun. This, however, is not universal. The
law Of nature has asserted itself, and the
constant changes in the currents of the min
eral- laden water. together with the atmos-
pneric changes, have wrought their effects,
and over many portions of the area there is
simply the appearance of an Old mine.
Making tremendous jump over much
that is of absorbing interest, the tourist
enters the Grand Canyon of the Yellow
stone, one OF the most wonderful features
OF this wonderful region. 1t is a ra-
vine from one thousand to two thousand
feet deep, into which the river forces itself
over a preclpice, making what are known
as the Upper Falls. Before reaching the
precipice the stream flows through lovely
valley, which more resembles a cultivated
and cared-fOr meadow than one cared for
and tended only by the hand of nature,
passing by many grove and woodland, the
water so pure and clear that the fish may be
seen sporting below the surface. Suddenly,
before reaching the entrance to the canyon,
1t Is compressed to a volume only about $50
feet in width, when it daShes over a sheer
wall l40 feet high. Still further on a quar-
ter OF Il mile below, another pTodgiOus hop
Is made, and the water plungeS into an
abyss OF $50 feet whence rising out of
the boiling and seething ealdr0n, it dashes
down rapids with arrow-like swiftnesS,
ever narrowing, dsShiDg against the juttiDg
rocks and browning walls until finally it
emerges at the mouth of Tower Creek, many
miles below. The action of water upon the
lavas that form the walls of the Grand Cave
has left some remarkable effects. In one
place there are sheer vertical walls in an
other craggy knobs and pinnacles. The
sunlight of the morning gives to the eye a
blaze Of strange color. but the shades of
evening blend the living tintS into a strange,
mysterious gloom, added to which the dark
folds OF pine sweep along the crests of the
preclplces GROWING them with a rim of
somber green. There is a picturesque
ness in detail and aa endless variety
in coloring which can be found in but
few places in the world. The Upper
Falls arsnear the world of sunlight and get
the play and flash OF brightness on their
waters, and therefore they have pictur-
esque beauty peculiarly their own. And
then part of the way down their leap the
body of water strikes a sort of bench
which breaks it into jets and showers of
foam. and the clouds of spray thus formed
glitter and glisten with crystal beauty,
forming enchanting arches of rainbOws in
the mist. and the moisture impartS to the
grass, the shrubs and to all manner Of veg
