H0N0RED THE HEROES.
An Imposing P~ageant-H Hosting the Flag
The Parade and Memorial Exercises
at the Opera House.

Memorial Day naturally has it's sad
and Joyous sides. 1t brings to mind at
one and the same time terrible scenes
and glorious achievements, which makes
it difficult to determine whether the day
is an occasion for solemnizing or rejoic-
ing. But in either event it is deeply in
teresting and is fast superseding the
Fourth CT July as a day Of dignifed
patriotism. People come in a grateful
and happy mood to pay honor and trib.
ute to living and departed heroes of the
war. The day is a great school of patri-
otism, e%nnobling as it is inspiring.
The people of Madison and Lake coun-
ty felt all the more generous, grateful
and happy this morning as the result of
last nights magnificent ram which
drenched the parched ground and crops.
With smiling faces they were early astir,
the citizens decorating the store fronts,
streets and ~conveyances, the teams and
people from the country pouring into
the city until 81! was a busy, animated
and glowing panorama.
The line of march for the days pro-
ceedings was formed at the corner of
Stella street and Egan avenue where the
Grand Army Post from the court house,
the scholars from the east side school
and the students from the State Normal
school ali met and preceded by a mar
tial band marched to the Central school
grounds where the pupils of the west
side joined them and The ceremony Of
unfurling a new flag was observed.
Drawn up in a great hollow square, the
veterans, IN the midst, Capt. Feneran
run up the national emblem to the top
of the pole erected for the purpose.
Supt. McClenon in appropriate address
presented the fag-the gift Of the school
chlldren-to the city and the cause of
patriotism. He was answered by a sa-
Lutte to the flag by the veterans which
was followed by the salute of the School
Of Patriotism by the children. Three
cheers to the flag were then given by the
assembled multitude and the line of
march was again resumed south to
Main street, east to Egan avenue and
north to the opera house,
Here the exercises we're of an unusual
ly interesting character. The old GUS
tom, which has prevailed to the exclusion
o. 10 generation, Of old soldiers only
speaking to the people was abandoned
and eight young gentlemen and ladies
from the public and Normal schools de-
livered original orations on war themes.
The program as heretofore published in
The DAILY LEADER was faithfully car
raied out with eminent success. Rev. j.
2. Jenkins led in prayer, some excellent
patriotic selections we're sung by q
double quartette consisting of Messrs. j.
s. Johnson, Geo. F. Tuttle, N. NJ. Stott,
and Warren Tolles and Mesdames
Tuttle, Hubbell, Bertha Fawkes and
Hattie Billings, assisted by the schools
in chorus. The speakers and veterans
occupied the stage which was beautiful
ly decorated with national colors, stack
ed arms and pictures OF war leaders.
