Stirring Addresses by Local Orators Mark
the Days Tribute to the Nations
Dead.

Memorial day was observed by the G. A.
X. and 5. V. according to program. Sun
day the organizations turned out in force
and marched from the hall to the church,
where the memorial sermon WIS preached
by Rev. w. F. Hawk, Rev. Edwards being
called out of town to conduct a funeral
service. While Rev. Hawk had but ashort
time in which to prepare his sermon, it was
appropriate to the occasion and was
greatly appreciated by the societies and
the audience generally. Rev. Largent also
made a few remarks. The music was well
selected and excellently rendered.
Tuesday the c.. A. r. and S. V. and the
band met at q. A. Il. hall, ard at l:30 p.
m. marched to the church. Just east of
the bridge the column was and the
flower girls tool their place in the column.
The G. A. X. was commanded by Post
Commander John McCourt, the S. of V. by
Captain Joseph Mason, and the flower girls
by Past Commander orlando Sawyer. At
the church the published program was car
ried out, the only change being the substi-
tuition of lev. Edwards in the place of Rev.
Hawk, the latter having filed the formers
place Sunday and the addition of a few re-
marks by Past Commander Bowman. The
music was even better than at the Sunday
service, the numbers especially appreciated
being the duet by Mrs. War; and Mrs. Cook
and the solo by Miss Bach. The addresses
by Comrades Bloom and Bowman and
Revs. Edwards and Largent were good and
Mr.. M~orrison's address was greatly en-
ioyed and showed thorough preparation.
His ideas were not only appropriate, but
had Shat freshness and brightness that
comes Only by wide and thoughtful read
ing OF current events and a careful study
OF the views OF leading men in American
political, literary and scientific life. DIR.
Stones recitation, Barbara Frietchie"
and Past Commander Snwyer's selection,
"The Picket Guard" were excellent and re-
ceived well merited applause. The g. A. Il
had their special services at the church SO
that all that remained Ia be done at the
cemetery was the decoration of the graves,
which WAS done by the flower girls, under
the direction of Comrade SAWYER. The
parade to the cemetery showed the patri-
otto spirit of the citizens carriages, wagons
and those on horseback making it a full
half mile in length. The q. A. K. and ;. of
V. marched back to the hall and disbauded.
Everything possed off pleasantly and the
comrades are to be congratulated on the
success with which they met and the com-
pleteness of their arrangements The at
tendance both Sunday and Tuesday was
large, the church being packed and many
being unable to obtain admittance. The
church was tastefully decorated with ever
green's and flowers. Over the entrance to
the cemetery was placed a neat evergreen
arch bearing the motto "Our Honored
Dead Across Main street from the Elk

in regard to reduced rates for the w'orid

of their doing go tomorrow. Ii tos'
present prevailing idea is carried out
the basis will practically be one fare
for the round trip. All bars were re-
moved today which hitherto prevented
the cuts made by the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific between the Puget
sound and st. Paul being applied through
any Missouri river gateway except Oma.
ha. The Union Pacific made 9 rate OF
1880 from points on its line,
competitive with these two roads
to Omaha via Ogden. The
competitors of the Union Pacific
claimed relief under the agreement OF
the Western Passenger association and
were authorized today to use the same
rate via their respective aateways and
to carry it to Salt Lake. This will
doubtless lead to Generalization OF
transcontinental rates.

rain being too light to wet through many
trays. All the rancbers and fruit men
interviewed say that there is no material
