A citizens meeting was held last even
ing to consider the question of celebrat-
ing the coming Fourth Of July. N. w.
Bush presided, and Ed. Benn acted as
secretary. N. G. Kaufman, B. ]. Gar
man, J. w. Farquhar and other speakers
were OF the opinion that a county celebra-
ton was the proper thing to have, and
the following resolutions were unani-
mously passed:
"Be it Resolved, that Aberdeen hold
no celebration Of the Fourth OF July this
year, and withdraw in favor Of county
celebration at some other place; but
claims the right to county celebration
at Aberdeen July 4th, 1897.
"Resolved further that copy OF these
resolutions be furnished the county press.
John J. Carney was present and urged
the claims OF Montesano for this year, and
stated they were preparing their horse
and bicycle tracks and ball ground for a
grand celebration. There seems to be a
general desire among Aberdeen people to
go visiting that day.

Honor the Nations Defenders.

The legislature has enacted law maxi
ing Memorial Day legal holiday, thus
enabling all to unite with the Grand
Army OF the Republic in paying tribute
to those who fell in defense of national
unity. All comrades should discourage
and discountenance all efforts to make
this sacred day the occasion for games,
amusements and worldly pleasures, or to
divert from the solemnity Of the occasion
in any form whatever. The G. A. r..
looks upon such attempts as acts OF
sacrilege. 1t is hoped that all business
houses will close their doors on that day
from to o'clock p. m. All old soldiers,
sons OF veterans, Woman's Relief Corps,
daughters Of veterans, and all patriotic
citizens generally, are requested to
assemble and participate in these, to us,
our sacred rites.

The Settlers Win,

The settlers in township 81, range 8,
who have passed through so much tribu-
lation in their efforts to secure their
rights, are about to receive their reward
The register and receiver of the land
office at Olympia were last Saturday
notified by the general land Office that
the order directing hearings on entries in
this township was revoked, the depart
ment ruling that the settlers had erred
more through ignorance and bad advice
than an intention to defraud, and the
cancellation proceedings instituted by
the department are dropped.
These hearings were ordered on reports
OF Special Agent Freeman, young man
who had been sent from some eastern
state to investigate the township, and
who probably did not realize the differ
ence between clearing off quarter Sec
ton OF Washingtons mammoth timber
and grubbing out the hazel brush from
ten acres of Connecticut hillside. and
who further did not use a great amount
of wisdom in the manner OF conducting
his investigation. Special Agent Carr,
who made the second investigation, is a
practical woodslnan, besides having a
thirty.years' acquaintance with Commits
sioner Lamoreaux, who placed implicit
confidence in him and his reports.
As the HERALD has before stated, many
OF the settlers have actually earned their
claims in the matter OF getting the sur
vey made, say nothing OF their residence
and improvements, and none are more
pleased at the final outcome than this
paper. This administration has made a
record for giving justice to the settlers
and while the department may have
made some mistakes, like the appoint.
ment OF Freeman for this kind Of work,
for instance, yet in the end the settlers
have had justice done them, and that
with all the speed consistent with official
red tape.

Accused of Rape.

Something of a sensation was created
in town by the arrest Monday evening OF
Phillip Ackey, charged with committing
the crime OF rape upon the person of little
1O-ysar-old Annie Dillon. The inferma-
ton was filed before Justice Andrews that
day, the allegation being that the crime
had been committed on the 18th inst,
at which time the child was staying with
Mr.. and Mrs. John Young, where Ackey
boarded. The testimony Of the child was
direct and positive, and was corroboratcd
by DR.. Colman, who had examined her,
and by Mrs. Young, who had noticed
suspicious actions. The Judge bound him
over in the sum of $1,000 to appear before
superior court, which bonds were furn-
ished yesterday. w. II. Abel, OF Monte
sano, appeared for the prosecution and
N. w. Bush for the defense.
Mr. Ackey is an old resident, and has
hitherto borne good reputation; he is
an old man nearing the grave, and the
opinion has been expressed that if he be
guilty, the illness of the last few years
which has SO nearly Slapped his life may
also have so affected his mind as to rem
der him irresponsible for his acts. 1t is,
indeed, a sad case, yet one that calls for
Justice. Considerable indignation has
been expressed, and were the accused
other than decrepit old man it might
have manifested itself in the summary
execution of vengeance.
