A GOOD EXAMPLE.

st. Thomas, though it has no G. A.
r. post. no veterans graves, and but
few veterans, celebrated Memorial
Day with first-class program. The
secret societies turned out and with
school children and citizens formed a
procession and went to the cemetery
and decorated the graves Of their de-
parted brethren. A pavilion had been
erected, and an interesting program
was rendered. Col. Grant S. Hager
was master of ceremonies and gave an
address on the history and observances
of the day. Mayor Miller also gave
an address in the same view and Rev.
Mr.. Harding of Hamilton gave the
oratioh of the day. Mrs. G. S. Hager,
who is fine elocutionist, rendered q
selection from Longfellow, and the
Flower Girls gave pretty exercise
and song. The example set by ST.
Thomas is well worthy Of imitation
by other towns similarly situated.
In the extension of the beautiful OBJ.
servances Of Memorial Day, to others
than veterans of the war, there is
nothing Objectionable or repugnant
to the G.. A. R., for when a people re.
members it's dead, then the old sol.
diers, and that which he represents
will not be forgotten.
The G. A. R. however does protest
against making Memorial Day into a
Fourth of July holiday. for picnics,
for racing and such sports. If neces.
sary let some other day be set apart
for sports; but let Memorial Day be
sacred to the memories for which it
was instituted, and for observances
suitable to such memories.

The Red river has been about on a
stand still during this week and is
about three feet below the high water
mark Of 1893. Saturday was a clear
day and Monday and Tuesday were
good seeding days though the ground
is still very wet In many localities.
There were many farmers on Monday,
June 1st, that had not an acre, or but
very few acres sown. OF course all
farmers are not so situated, but as a
whele there must be a large shortage
in wheat acreage this season. A good
deal Of early sown wheat looks bad
from after flooding and excessive
moisture.

One of the amusing things in the
new Hamilton pop paper, x Rays, is
the sa1g froid with which Editor Gil
phin shuts the door On the Chronicle
and Call, and assumes that the pops
in this county are entitled to an
organ. Mr.. Gilphin says "that ii they
are pop papers they should let their
subscribers know something about 1T,
at least say once a year." and In an
other place he assumes ''ttat 1900 (?)
voters are without newspaper repre-
sentation." II is evident that Broth

The minority report signed by G. w.
Ryan was similar to the foregoing ex-
cept that it endorsed Cleveland's f.
nancial policy and sound money.
The feeling of the convention ap.
peared to favor sound money, but as
matter of policy that 1T was better
to not take q stand previous to the
declaration OF the state convention.
A committee of five, Messrs. Ryan,
Bechtel, johnson and Myrick, was
chosen to select the names Of eighteen

NOTES.
Mr.F. "a. Wilson Of the Pink Paper
had been requested to bring dele.
CATION from this county to Jamestown
uninstructed. The "uninstructcd"
are all right, but where is Mr.. Will
son? Also where is that boom for
Mr.. w. as delegate to Chicago?.
1t is said that the delegation to
jamestown stands about Is to 3 for
sound money. We fear the boys will
find the delegates from the other
counties of different complexion.
OF course the roads were bad, very
bad, hence the small attendance.
The same Thing will also occur in No
vember.
j. e. Thacker was also there, not
withstanding that he was forgotten
for some time back. Robert Muir
don't seem to be in it however.

PUGs MUST CROSS THE LINE.
CatrOn Bill Takes Effect Immediate-
Iy and VIII He Enforced.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-No promul-
cation of the new anti-prize fight law
will be necessary. The law becomes
executive the moment it is signed by
the president, and all persons must at
their peril take cogniZance of it's en-
actment Indeed, under the well es-
tablished law, as laid down in the
settled opinions Of the United States
supreme court, any persons violating
it's provisions ON the same day, but
after the hour in which 1t is signed
would be liable to all the penalties
of the act. The governor of New Mex
leo Is in hearty sympathy with the
movement to break up the fights, and
the Catron bill was framed largely at
his suggestion in order to stop them
1t Is probable the United States dis
trict attorney and marshal for New
Mexico will be instructed promptly to
see that the fight does not take place,
and to enforce the law vigorously
against abettors and participants
should an attempt be made to pull
off the fight, Notwithstanding the law
The war department would cooperate
with the department of justice in this
movement by the use of troops. 1t
is felt here that they will never be
neded, and if the fights occur, they
WI take place outside of the United
States jurisdiction.

ecutes a Man So Charged.
What is certainly unique circular
was received by the passenger depart
ment of the Northern Pacific road yes
terday 1t bears the heading of the
Southern Pacific road, and at the bot
Goodman. The information, which is
feet that one William II. McPhee pur-
chased in Chicago some time ago
nine-months' excursion from that place
to Frisco via the Chicago & North
western railway. Some little time after
one Richard H. Collier presented the
Frisco office of the Southern Pacific,
return portion of the ticket to the
with the request that the agent witness
his signature as being that Of the
original purchaser.
1t was charged that Collier has en-
deayored to secure passage as a person
whom he was impersonating, and the
road had him arrested. Under the pro-
visions of the California penal code
he was convicted of false PRESERVATION.
General Manager Goodman recites
these facts and concludes by advising
agents that the man was further guilty
Of forgery, which Is punishable by
sentence to state prison of from one
to fourteen years.
Local railroad men agree that 1t is
a wholesome lesson, but explain that
more men are not convicted simply
because it is a difficult matter to get
men suspected Of false PRESERVATION,

First Electric Locomotive,

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 6-The Bald
win locomotive works, Of this city,
have shipped to the Westinghouse
electric works in Allegheny, the first
electric locomotive ever built for
steam railroad. The Baldwin works
made everything about this unique
engine but the electric mechanism,
which will be supplied by the Westing-
house company. The locomotive is the
size of an ordinary box car, being
thirty feet long and mounted upon two
fourWheel trucks. Completed it will
weigh sixty tons. 1t is geared for 800
horse power, which will pull loaded
freight train forty miles an hour. By
a single change of the gearing this
engine can be run up to LOCO horse
power, and can pull a train eighty
miles an hour. This locomotive is in
tended for freight. The passenger
ones will attain a far higher speed.
The cost of the new electric locomotive
is about equal to that of a steam loco
motive.
