Decoration Day,

Soldiers memorial day was observed
in the state with more than usual inter
est, perhaps because the weather was
more than usually favorable. In Topeka
nearly everybody showed desire to take
part in the memorial exercises and be-
fore noon the streets were thronged with
people in holiday attire. AS has become
customary, the Grand Army posts, Wom-
ems Relief corps, Sons Of Veterans and
Boys in Blue appointed committees to
visit the cemeteries and decorate the
graves. Many other people went with
the committees.
At l o'clock an imposing procession
marched to City park, where a large
audience listened to addresses by j. G..
Waters and Governor Lewelling, followed
by recitations and vocal and instrument
tai music.
The Boys in Blue held their exercises
in Representative hall both morning and
evening. The principal address of the
morning was by Senator PETER, whose
ability to touch the tender sensibilities
of a soldier audience is 30 we'll known.
Rev. W. G. Todd also delivered an able
address. In the evening Governor Lew
slling read an original poem entitled "In
Tennessee" and the remainder Of the
evening was taken up with an impromptu
program Of music and short speeches, in
which r. s. Osborn, Judge Doster, Judge
Webb and Miss Grace Potts took part.
Col. Fred Close scted as master of cere-
monies. The governors poem proved to
be one worthy Of high place among the
literary productions Of the day.

The Cherokee nation issued bonds to
the amount Of $6,500,O00 and put them
on the Washington market. On the
strength Of prospective sale of the

done at all the trading posts, and things
went booming, but after the bonds went
begging for buyers a general panic fol-
lowed and the Cherokee country is down
at the heel.
No doubt Gov. Lswelllng wonders why
some reporters persist in misrepresent-
ing. They said he had made secret
visit to Lansing to conspire with the
strikers, when the fact is he stated pub
licly before starting where he was going
and what he was going for. They said
he sent Labor Commissioner Todd to
Pittsburg, when, in fact, Mr.. Todd went

public can take it for what it is worth.

The Populist movement receives due
recognition at the hands OF George Alfred
Townsend, who is better known as
"GRth," ," one Of the foremost newspaper
correspondents in the country. Mr..
Townsend writes: 'The Populist party

Wall street information would suggest.
1t Is giving concern to all the western re-
publican members of congress. It is
coming eastward. You see it troubling
the Georgians already. 1t is being

when a mandatory shuts down, it is
