The Memorial exercises of this
place were held on Sunday. The
procession formed at the school house
hall with the band at the head. Fol-
lowing were the Sheridan Post,
Womans Relief Corps and citizens.
They marched to the Congregational
church where the Memorial sermon
was delivered by Rev. r. Bury. A
collection was taken for the benefit of
the Soldiers Home. After the ex-
ercises at the church they proceeded
to the cemetery and after decorating
the graves of comrades and friends,
returned to the school house hall
where they broke ranks.
1t is noticeable that each year there
are more soldiers graves to be deco
rated and fewer comrades to perform
the duties. Let us hope that the citi-
zens will always pay these small
tributes of respect and reverence to
the boys in blue, who so nobly bore
arms in the time of our country's
need.

Hope we shall have many more just

Indians at the Worlds rair.

II certain intention that has been
formed in reference to the Columbian
fair is carried out, then one Of the most
interesting exhibits at the exposition
will be that made by the red Indians of
America.
Delegates from q considerable number
of tribes, in Washington assembled, have
agreed to prepare the display and white
men will aid them, The proposed ex.
hibit will include not only picture Of
the present possessions and customs of
the red men, but 1t will go back as far
rs possible into the past. There win be
gathered specimens of the weapons.
dress, totems and utensils Of the alb
origines of this continent, so far rs they
can be obtained. Such collections of all
that is available from each tribe, put
side by side with the exhibit from
the other tribes, would undoubtedly
throw some light ON aboriginal history.
The Indians from the country along the
Mexican border are more different from
those of Canada and the northwest than
an Italian is from German, and col
lection like that named might help show
how this difference originated.
To the ancient relics Of the tribes is to
be added show Of the progress they
have made in the white mans civiliza-
ton. This will be only less interesting
in it's way than the other. Besides this
1t is proposed that along with the other
congresses at the fair there shall be an
Indian congress in which the red men
themselves shall bring together and
place before the world what they can of
their ancient legends, traditions and
customs, as drawn from all sources. A
printed record of these would be a con-
tribution to universal history such as
has not appeared in many day.

It was for fact an insult to the
American flag for soldiers from the
Montreal royal garrison to enter private
houses on the queens birthday and force
the occupants to take down the stars
and stripes, when the flags of other ma
tons were not molested. But those
who wax indignant over the incident
should recall that the precedent for this
petty business was established last
Fourth of July in the United States,
when an Englishman in New York, who
had innocensly flung the British flag to
the breeze from his upper window in
honor of the day, as he supposed, was
forced by bowling mob to take it
down. The Montreal incident was only
a retaliation in kind.
