Written for the LIGHT:
MEMORIAL DAY.

BY MAGNOLIA.
Down in the valley sleeping,
Out on the bleak hillside
Down by the Surging ocean,
Swept Ger by the moaning tide,
They are SlumbeTing on forever,
Their forms to dust have gone,
But their spirits are Eternal,
They still go marching on.
We will scatter sweetest flowers,
Ger the loyal Boys in Blue,
Who through many hard fought battle
Were ever brave and true.
The Blue and Gray now softly sleep,
Out on the green hillside,
They are marching on together,
Beyond the flowing tide.
Today the boys in Blue and Gray,
In friendship both unite
To lay their garlanOS on the graves,
OF comrades lost TO sight.
Today they stand united
For freedom and for right,
The sword is Sheathed, the Ratchet gone
Forever from our sight.
A few more years they all will pass
Into the great unknown,
No reveille or bugle'S call
Can reach that silent home.
Each year we say a sad farewell,
Memorial words are said,
And when our sands of life are run"
Well slumber with the dead.

MEMORIAL DAY.
1t is Being Appropriately Cele-
brated in the Alamo City.

DraIeu IN the Alamo city.
Today could not have been brighter for
the celebration of Memorial day. Early
| this morning the streets were thronged
with people, many of them strangers,
who came here to witness the parade,
| and the event was one long to be remem-
bered by the citizens of the Alamo city.
The procession, which formed at 9
| clock on avenues c, ID and E, was a long
one, and very good display was made
The column was headed by the eight
mounted officers, who were closely follow
ed by the marShalS and aids. Then came
two carriages conveying county and dis
trict officials. Army officers then follow
ed. The 23rd infanty was a notable fea-
ture, following the officers, and their dis
play was grand. They marched we'll to
the tune Of Three CHEERS for the Red,
White and Blue" well executed by the
23d Infantry band, which was out in full.
Immediately following the band, came
the Sidney johnson camp, Confederate
veterans. The Grand Army of the Re-
public then was seen, and they marked
time to the music of the EX- Firemen'S
band. The fire department., out in full
blast and headed by Assistant Chief Col
Inns, was the next attractive feature. The
boys were uniformed and did credit to the
procession. The Italian societies and the
Mexican National club, under the man
to follow, and made nice display
The procession went west on Houston,
to North Flores street, then south to Mil
itary plaza, then east on Commerce street
to the cemetery, where appropriate SER
vices were conducted.
At the burial grounds, when the differ
ent societies had been arranged, prayer
was offered by Chaplain III. H. AIvord.
Captain Winthrop delivered the memorial
address in an able manner, telling of the
touching scenes he had witnessed in the
late unpleaSantneSs, and of the many
trials the brave men of 1861 had TO en-
dure. The grafton, though not lengthy,
was full Of deep thought, and caused
many expressions of praise from his hear
erS. The decorating of the graves, and
the usual military salute concluded the
ceremonies at the cemetery and the pro-
ceSSOn returned to the city.
Tonight, at tn ner hall, a memorial
entertainment will be given at which a
superb program will be rendered, thus
concluding the day.

Left $4,000.

The following item is good story,
but it sounds a little like imagery. It
has been going the rounds: II. NJ. Girls
niger, young farmer living near Green's
burg, Pa. is. better off by $4,000 than he
was last week. Three months ago Crising-
er visited Pittsburg, and while walking
down Fifth avenue was accosted by an
old man, who introduced himself as Da-
vid Dallison, of Wheeling, W. Va. He
told Crisinger he had lost his pocketbook
containing sum of money and rail
road ticket to Wheeling and appealed to
Crisinger to help him out of the predica-
ment. Crisinger having doubts
about the genuineness of the case-got a
supper for Dallison and then bought
Wheeling ticket and saw the old fellow
safely on his train. AS they separated
Dallison asked Crisinger's address, enter
ing it in a pocket memorandum book,
and saying that he would return the
money to Crisinger as soon as he got
home.
That particular amount of money nev-
er came, but last Monday in the mail
taken to the farm from the city was a
letter from Wheeling attorney telling
Crisinger that old Mr.. Dallison was dead,
and that in his will was a codicil be
queathing $4,000 to the young man in
recognition of his kindness to stranger
in strange city.

Reception Friday Night.

The reception given Friday evening 10y
Mrs. J. K. Mitchell, in honor of Mr.. and
Mrs. E. q. Amos, who returned Thursday
from their bridal trip, was most elab
crate and complete affair. Nearly forty
guests were present, but the large parlors
were not unduly filed. Supper was
served at eleven o'clock, the guests being
seated at large and small tables in the
capacious dining room. Many of the
costumes worn by the ladies were rich,
and in the best possible way set off
the beauty of the fair wearers. The
newly made bride and groom were
showered with earnest wishes for future
happiness and congratulations. 1t was
quite late before the enjoyment came to
an end, and the guests departed for their
homes.
Mrs. Mitchell was assisted in receiving
by Mrs. Jepson, of this place, and Mrs.
Dr. Williams, of Martins Ferry. Among
the guests from outside points were Prof
and Mrs Benz. Mitchell, of Pittsburgh,
Miss Katherine Amos, of Sidney, o.. J.
NJ. Amos, of Stamford, Conn, and Miss
Mary Irwin, of Wheeling.

Our Township Schools.

In his annual report, State School Com
missioner Corson thus summarizes his
views of our township school laws:
First-The educational system of the
different States are of such a nature as
to indicate that it is not considered
good policy to divide responsibility be-
tween different boards of education as
has been done in Ohio for the last forty
years, and which the workman Law"
corrects. Second-That the township is
unquestionably the correct educational
unit. Third-That careful inspection
and supervision of work always proves
beneficial to the system of schools. Fourth
The experience of great majority of
the States having county supervision is
that the county is too large to be super
vised by one man. Fifth-That town
ship supervision in its practical workings,
which is possible under the present law
in Ohio, is vastly superior to county su-
pervisiOn.

A Birthday Surprise.

A delightful party of young folks came
together on the invitation of Mrs. George
Robinson, at her home in the East End,
Monday night, the object being a surprise
party for Miss Bert Robinson on the
evening of her birthday Miss Bert had
been visiting for week or so at Tifin,
o., and by skillful manouvering, was de-
tanned and caused to arrive at home just
after the large party had assembled. She
was, it is needless to say, vastly as well
as agreeably surprised. The young folks
made merry with dancing and cards until
eleven o'clock, when bounteous
luncheon was served. 1t was quite a
late hour before the party broke up
wishing Miss Robinson many happy re-
turns of the day. If all her birthday
anniversaries are made as pleasant for
them as this one was, her friends will not
care how often they come.

nade proposition offering to stand half

of North Sugar street with North CON-
mons, and the matter was left to the
committee on streets and roads.
A complaint was offered by several
citizens as to the management of the
scales at the B. & D. depot, claiming that
the person at present operating them,
Gus Esch, is ineligible on account of
. being an interested party. This matter
was also referred.
A number Of plans for obtaining an
adequate supply of water for the electric
light plant were discussed. Among the
most fayorably considered was that of
constructing a reservoir at a point in
McKelvey's woods. where streams from
nine springs make full and constant
supply of water, possible at all times.
From such a reservoir the water would
have to be brought.up by means of a new
pumping engine. No definite action was

A BURGLARY.
They Attempted to Steal From the
County.
Nothing Of Value Taken But Revolver.
A Fishy Story From Pennsylvania
Township Schools.

On Saturday night entrance was gained
to the Probate Judges office by some of
our enterprising local thieves by means
of ladder placed to second story win
dow in the rear. Once in, the Office was
pretty well ransacked. A drawer, which
the thieves probably thought contained
money, was broken open with a poker,
and the file cases were pretty thoroughly
examined, but the thieves got nothing
for their trouble. AS Ray Tallman is
Secretary of the Building Association,
and took in considerable money late Sat
urday evening, they probably expected
TO find this money in the office. They
then went to the Treasurer's Office, gain
ing access by means of a transom over the
door. Here they took Smith & Wesson
revolver which was lying within Mr..
Archer's desk. They had burned several
matches at the vault door. and had eyi-
IDENTIFY been fooling with the combina-
ton. but to all appearances made no at
tack on the door other than noted. There
is no clue to the perpetrators other than
some hand and foot marks made in the
dust on the desks, but it was probably
the work of some local thief who was
well acquainted with the Courthouse
and the habits of its occupants.
On the preceding Saturday night, Mr..
John Pollock the Treasurer of the Build
ing Association. being out of town, the
Secretary left the money, amounting to
over S2Sl, in the Identical drawer that
was broken open, and it remained there
until Monday. The thief Was doubtless
aware of this fact.
