Memorial Day Observance.

Reports from all quarters indicate
that Memorial Day was never before
generally and so foolingly observed
rs this year, and it is gratifying tc
record that Mineral Point was
abreast of the procession.
In the forenoon the Grand Army
men visited the graves Of departed
comrades In every cemetery, despite
rain and mud, and deposited floral
offerings thereon. The exercises OF
the afternoon were had in the =. NJ
church, kindly thrown open by the
trustees, the weather not permitting
out door services as planned. About
= Il. m. the procession formed in front
Of city hall in the following order:

lowing program was executed:

MILwAr KEE, May 3l.-Tho departure
of Senator Villas for the east has caused
the political gossipers to conjecture that
he Is to be offered Gresham's place in
the Cleveland cabinet. There Is little
probability, however, of Villas accepting
the position, as it would mean the loss of
one Democratic senator.

HIprichsen Confident of Glorious, Success
Explains Why Delegates Did Not Ar

beneck on Hand Taking Notes
SPRINGFIELD, Ills, June The pros.
pect for large attendance at the Demo.
cratic state convention were not as bright
yesterday morning as the originators of
the convention wished. The vast crowds
that had been expected all along had not
even begun to arrive. This was accounted
for by the fact that many legislators and
lobbyists, fearing jam ut the hotels have
remained at home. Yesterday morning
no men of national reputation had ar
rived, and even local leaders from various
districts were few Men who have at

publican, In this city for the last twenty
five years predicted small attendance
Chairman Hinrichson, of the Demo-
cratic state central committee, was still
confident that tho convention would be
glorious success. The fact that few peo-
pie were here did not disturb him. He
said that there were no candidates to vote
for, and it would be useless for delegates
to come day or two in advance OF the
convention.
Taubeneck "Hnppens Around"
He did not expect large arrivals to be-
gin before last evening. The farmers
all over the state were busy with their
crops and they wanted to lose as little
time as possible. Then the weather in
Springfield was intensely hot, and the
delegates did not wish to spend any more
time in tho crowded hotels than they had
to. Tho hotels have all engaged in adj
vance all rooms they have and some of
them have nothing but cots in halls left

But whatever the outlook in tho morn
ing by nightfall there was every indica-
ton that every county in the state would
be represented by u full quota of dele
gates. A largo number of visitors Is also
expected. Sentiment among delegates SO
far seen is practically unanimous in favor
of free silver, and it seems that there will
not be much opposition to such resolu-
ton. judge Goodrich, of Chicago, ono of

the scheme to call a national money con.

such u proceeding. Tho sudden appear

speculation. He is of course FREQ silver
man. Ho said last night that he had no
interest in tho convention except as u
spectator. Certain managers of tho
Democratic party he added, ''are now

He had no objection. In fact he is doing
all he can to encourage silver agitation
among the Democrats, for he feels certain

largely conducive to nervousness. The

Pretty Badly Dismantled.

AAoOCy A11uAy
Major w. G. Gooding custodian of the
the old Fort Lincoln, was in the city
yesterday on some business with Senator
Parkin, of Cannon Ball. The major has
had some pretty exciting times Of late
with d]epredators who have been carry
ing off lumber and other property, and
reports the fort looking quite dilapidated
after their pilferings. 1.-The buildings
upon the fort grounds are pretty badly
dismantled," said Major Gooding, land
the place looks like the wreck of it's for
mer self, after the numerous and extern
sive offerings. OF the hundred or so of
buildings which comprise the place, only
three are now left intact-the hospital,
hospital stewards residence and the
guard-house. The old ordnance depart.
ment,which was situated a little out from
tho main part, is q completewreck. The
buildings have been totally carried off,
and nothing remains standing but a tall,
brick chimney to mark it's former site.
OF the post buildings the commissary
and quartermaster's departments have
been pillaged and dismantled and
wrecked. The officers quarters have not
escaped, doors, windows and castings be-
ing carried of, and in cases the boards
have been ripped off and carried away.
The Custer house is wrecked, and the
soldiers quarters have been badly racked
and torn to pieces. Even the hall which

SENATOR LAMOURE insisted that his
