MEMORIAL DAY.
HOW 1T WAS OBSERVED IN
ELLSWORTH.
WAR VETERANS PAY TRIBUTE TO
DEAD C""pADEs - SERVICES AT
THE MONUMENT AND HALL.

Another year has passed, and another
Memorial day has reminded us of the
debt we owe to the "boys in blue"
While We feel that the debt is too great
to be lost sight Of even for one day of the
year, 1t Is lifting that one day be set apart
| from all the rest, devoted to services of
tribute and respect to departed heroes.
1t is fitting, too, that the men who
fought shoulder to shoulder with the
comrades who have fallen, should lead in
the services on Memorial day; no other
hands can 50 tenderly or with deeper feel
ing plant the iiag and strew the garlands
above the graves of the ennobled dead.
But 1t Is Il pleasure also to note the
willingness on every hand to assist the
veterans III these services, and the kindly
respect which Is paid the living veterans.
we are SO accustomed to read of the
fast thinning ranks OF the boys in blue"
| that it is somew hat of a surprise to learn
that the death rate during the past year
in the q. \. II. has been he smallest in its
history, vt such is a fact. Still we realize
that the places ofthose who drop out can
not be filled, aud rs we recall the fact hat
the averaGe age ia tine G.. A. X. is drawing
toward the tire" score and ten, it is with
feeling If -4rrow That we recognize the
inevitable

CALLED NAMES.
Carl Schurz Does a Little Inciting All
by Himself.

PEORIA, ILL.,, Oct. 24.-Carl Schurz
spoke here tonight, under the auspices
Of the Sound Money Democratic club of
Peoria. The feature of his speech was a
bitter denunciatiou of Bryan and AIT
geld. He said, in lsart:
Abraham Lincoln and Bryan! Abra-
ham Lincoln and Altgeld. To associate
these names together as allies in COM
mon cause-aye, to pronounce them to-
gether in the same treath-is not only
a fraud, it is sacrilee,e.
AS an old friend of Abraham Lincoln,
who sat at his feet, receiving his teach
ings of justice, freedom and humanity,
and who was with him many day in his
struggles for the rights of man, for ma
tional government, and for the brother
hood Of all the American people, I SOL
emnly protest against this outrage. I
call upon the people of Illinois to resent
and repel it. They are the custodians
of Abraham Lincoln's grave. Let them
prove themselves the worthy custodians
of his character and fame by burying
the regulators and incfters of class
hatred who dare to claim him as their
own, under a crushing vote of condemna-
ton. u.f

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 24.-The winter
season of racing began today at Oakland
under what appears to be exceptionally
favorable circumstances. About 10000 peo-
pie attended. The weather was cloudy
and threatening and the track trifie
slow. The card was only fair. though the
finishes were exciting enough. The at
traction was the Inaugural handicap for
all ages, at one mile. Rosebud and Can
delaria, coupled, were heavily played ia
vorites at to 1, with Caesarian second
choice at and 2s to at post time. The
talent was dumped, Thelma, a 40 to l shot,
winning handily. Eddie Jones rode four
winners. Enthusiastic horsemen predict
that it will prove one of the fastest tracks
in the, United States. 1t has been con-
structed on the hog-back principles; that
is, high in the center, SO that it should
drain rapidly from either side. The re-
suits:
Six furlongs-Mt McGregor II won, Bel
licose second, Sir Play third; time, Ills.
Six furlongs, selling-La Flecha won,
Red Pike second, Heartsease third time
1:161a.
Five furlongs, selling, for 2-year-olds-
Alma won. Celeste second, Dolore third;
time, 1:02%.

AMONG THE PUGS
The Sharkey-F -F'itzsimmons Mill Set for
December Ninth

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. A.-San Fran
cisco has secured the Fitzsimmons-Shar-
key battle after all. 1t took little trou-
BILE to get the men together, but Manager
Groom of the National Athletic club kept
pegging away and has been rewarded by
the receipt of the following telegram from
Martin Julian, manager of Robert Fitz-
simmons:
CAN right; will accept your offer. De-
posit $4,000 as forfeit at once, half of which
is to be paid to Fitzsimmons in case you
fail to pull off the match December g.
Telegraph $500 exjenses and we will leave
at once"
Manager Groom will send the expense
money today and FitZsimmons will doubt
less leave New York Monday. The con-
test is to be ten rounds for purse of s10.-
600, and is sure to attract widespread in
terest all over the country. Manager
Lynch expressed the greatest satisfaction
over the acceptance of the National club
offer, as he was beginning to feel that he
would be unable to secure match. Shar-
key will go into training in the course of a
few days.
The National club also made another
match last. night. Danny Needham and
George Green are to meet for the second
time. While no date has been set it is to
come off inside of a month. In their first
the decision over Needham. The latter
is now in much better condition physically
and is confident that he can reverse the
last result. THE men have signed to meet
at catch weights.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct A-Walter John

Of this city, made Steve O'Donnell, the
Australian, look like novice tonight In
their four-round exhibition before the Art
Athletic club. In the second round john
son went at O'Donnell like cyclone and
simply smothered him. The third and
fourth rounds were but repetitions of
the second. No decision was given.

ON THE GRIDORON
College Boys Take Exercise and Please
the Crowds

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. A.-Stanford
University beat the Reliance Athletic club
10 to at football today, and experts who
are endeavoring to get line on the big
college game between Stanford and Berke-
ley are more at sea than ever. Three
weeks ago Reliance beat University Of
California in the first game of the season.
Next week Stanford and Olympic had a
hard battle. which resulted in a tie. neither
side scoring. Last Saturday Berkeley
went against Olympic and won as they
pleased after putting up the quickest,
snappiest game ever seen here. Today
Stanford beat Reliance with ease in game
full of fumbles and poor playing on both
sides.
In the first half Stanford scored a goal
and a touchdown as the result of some
bad fumbles by Reliance men, and in the
second half another touchdown was scored
in the same way. Murphy failed to kick
a goal and the score was ten to nothing.
Reliance several times got the ball dam
gerously near Stanford's goal, but always
lost the pigskin before they could push
it across the line. Walton, Oliver and
Doesch did most of the playing for Re-
lance, and Cotton, Fckert, Fisher, Will
Jams and Jeffs were prominent for STAN
ford.
AS regards style, Berkeley has the ad-
ford. Their play seems to be quicker and
more sure than that of the Palo Alto boys
but Stanford has habit of playing better
in thd big game than in any preliminary
events, and there is still month in which
to work.
A POOR UMPIRE
NEW YORK, Oct. 4.--Seldom has there
been such dissatisfaction shown by the
spectators at a football game as at that
demonstrated this afternoon at the con :
clusion of the contest between Yale and
the Carlisle Indian school. In the first
half the Indians surprised the New Haven
kickers by scoring touchdown from
which foul was kicked, in less than five
minutes, and the form thus displayed puz-
zled the Blues very much However, be-
| fore the half ended Yale scored two touch
| downs and two goals, making the score
IL to 6 in their favor. In the second half
Jameson for the Indians secured a touch
down which was not allowed. The decis-
ion of Referee Hickok created much dis
satisfaction. Neither side scored in the
! second half. The crowd surrounded the
| Indian players, cheering them, and there
| was not Yas cry to be heard. The In
tiians played remarkably strong game,
| and the only advantage Yale had was by
| trick plays. The Indians repeatedly buck

successfully repulsed In this play. The

FRENCH SUGAR DUTIES.

PARIS, Oct. 24.-The draft of bill
to regulate the sugar industry of France
and to counteract the export bounties
of other countries was submitted to the
cabinet at it's meeting today. 1t adds
tax of 2R francs to the duties on home
consumption, and tTe funds so derived
will be applied to the granting of an ex-
port bounty of 21s francs for refined su-
gars and raw sugars including 9S per
cent, and an export duty of 1R francs
for raw sugars, including IS to 9S per
cent. The bill protects the refiners at
seaports and French colonial producers
by bounty system, and the allowing
q drawback on foreign sugars intended
for re-export is maintained. 1t is pro-
posed that the bill shall not be opera
tive until September, 1898.

ON THE WAY To THE COAST
Speaker Reed Is Greeted on ReachiDg
Bleeding Kansas
Talked Tariff But Never So Much as
Mentioned the Name of Mckinley.
The Money Question Ignored.

WICHITA, Kan, Oct. 24.-Hon. Thos.
B. Reed of Maine arrived here today and
was greeted by possibly the largest COL
lection of people ever assembled in Kan
sas. Nearly 1000 non-residents came in
on excursion trains. These included
eight bands of music. Mr.. Reed made
two speeches in the interest of Congress
man C. I. Long of this district, Delegate
Flynn of Oklahoma and the entire Re-
publican cause. One speech was in an
immense circus tent to about 1000 men
and the other speech was at the Audi
torium to $500 ladies. One of the remark
able accidental features Of both
speeches was the fact that Mr. Reed did
not mention the name of Major McKin-
ley in either speech.
The leading theme Of Mr.. Reed S
speeches was the tariff. He said that
there is money enough in the country,
but not work enough. He said that
what the people of this nation wanted
is the employment of all its people and
credit sufficient to sustain employ
ment. With reference to the money
question, he said that he wanted money
that would be good when dynasties fell,
when kings were overthrown and when
republics go to pieces. That money, he
said, is gold. He said that the policy of
the Republican party is to marry labor
and capital.
"Bryan's shadow" he said, caused
the Pennsylvania road to fall off $780, :
900 in it's earnings last month. What
loss will the substance cause?"
The days jubilee ended in a tremend-
Gus torchlight and pyrotechnic demon
stration at night.

her adversaries.
CORNELL-HARvARD
ITHACA, N. Y, Oct. A.-Five thousand
football enthusiasts saw Cornell go down

Harvard eleven on Percy field this after
noon. The game was hotly contested from
start to finish and when the last half closed
with the score 13 to in favor of Harvard.
after one of the hardest struggles ever
seen on a gridiron, the supporters of Cor
nell greeted their fallen champions with
hearty cheers.
If it had not been for the weakness Of the
