TNGALLs AT NEWTON.
q Report of His Decoration Day
Speech There.


Speech There.
Senator ingalls, made an address on
Decoration day at Newton to several
thousand people. The only report Of
it is in the Newton Republican Of Mon
day evening. The speech is very poorly
reported, the senator in no instance be-
ing directly quoted as he should have
been. The Republicans report is as
follows:
Senator ingalls, received an ovation
and it was several minutes before he
was allowed to commence his address.
He said it was one Of the most males
tic and imposing spectacles to see the
youth and the old soldiers who We're
present and one would have to be devoid
Of reverence not to appreciate the hon
or of being complimented in addressing
such a patriotic assemblage. 1t was an
inspiration as Wen as a prophecy and
how magnificent to be young, when
everything can be predicted and the
smallest ray of hope shines out as the
sun.
He opposed the erection Of confeder-
ate monuments upon northern soil, as
well as the joining of the blue and the
gray i'm Memorial day exercises as tend
ing to teach the rising generation that
those who fought to sustain the Union
and those who fought to destroy it were
equal He stated that he believed that
across the great bourne from whence
no traveller returned there is a bOundless
republic where those that have gone be-
fore realize that these exercises We're
held, and he addressed the absent ones
pathetically. He deprecated the march
ing together of the blue and the gray
Al instilling unpatriOtic ideas into the
minds Of the young. He upheld the law
of compensation elOquently and said
that he believed in the future commons
wealth virtue would have its reward
and vice its punishment. He advo-
Gated the teaching of patriotism in
every school and church in the land
He said that last year O.000 of the
old soldiers had died and that it would
be only few short years when all

was the book he most liked, as the
trials, tribulatiOns and expectation
therein depicted We're the same as men
experience today No state can long
exist.nO society can long prosper where
the doctrines of the existence OF God
are not accepted
Mr.. ingalls, spoke most elOQuently of
the Grand Army Of the Republic and
of the nations dead heroes. and said
that 2700, 900 men had rallied at the
call Of the nation ia its hour of peril,
as men SO to banquet not to free

equal.

Chesapeake bay TO the Rio Grande
there was no statue Of Grant, Lincoln,
Sherman or Sheridan to tell of the valor
of the north. but that the statues of
Lee. Davis Albert Sidney Johnston and

bronze could be seen in the public

ASK FOR MORE LIGHTS.
TheDemand for Additional Elec-
trio Lights
is Greater Than Before the
Plant Was Enlarged.
The Council Was Flooded With Peti-
tions Last Night From Localities
That Feel Sighted in the
Distribution.

There is trouble ahead for the cOun-
ell over the disposition Of the new
electric lights, for there are localities
that have been missed by the commit
tee on lights because there are not
enough to go around and the com
plants are coming at the rate Of sew
eral q week.
Last night the council was brought
face to face with the question by del
egation from South Topeka who want
electric lights at the Kansas avenue
bridge across Shunganunga creek
Councilman Elliott said, in speaking
Of the petitions which were presented:
There is no use to talk about this
matter We now have all the lights
the plant can carry, and if we put in
an extra one here we would have to
get five, because at least an extra light
is wanted in every ward"
Councilman Drew-We want an extra
one in the Third ward.
Councilman Stevens-We want two
in the second.
DR.. Roby said that this crossing was
one of the most dangerous places in
the city We have had two vapOr
lights at the bridge" said he. Last
night there were no lights and a man
walked off the bank. 1t is q very
dangerous place and the city is liable
TO have damage suits on its hands If
this place is left i'm the dark. There
is no light nearer than Nineteenth
street.
within a block and quarter I do
not want 1T to appear that there is no
light nearer than four blocks
Councilman ROundtree-A light is
very much needed at this place, but I
understand that the committee de-
pended upon a light on the hill. which
would probably serve the purpose if the
branches are cleared away.
Captain Titus-FOr once the people
of this part of the ward are together.
A lamp is very much needed. We do

rem street.
Councilman Nettels-This bridge is a
dangerous place and a light should be
placed there if possible. If it is not
lighted we viii have damage suits on
our hands.
Councilman Elliott am not in favor
Of doing anything until it is ascertained
whether the provisions we have made
are a failure
The whole matter was then referred
to the councilmen from the Fifth ward.

SUPPRESS INDECENT PICTURES
The Matter Is Brought Before the
Council and Refarred.

The council took no action on the
question of suppressing immoral pos
ters and pictures last night though
the matter was referred to the commit
tee on judiciary and an ordinance will
be prepared and presented at a future
meeting
Mrs Van CIeave of the Social Purity
league and Rev Richard Wake of the
Ministerial Union appeared before the
council and requested that an ordi-
nance be passed.
Rev. Mr.. Wake said: IF there is no
ordinance that viii reach these inmOr-
be suppressed we would like to have a
new ordinance passed. Our daughters
cannot pass some cigar store windows
without hanging their heads in shame
and this matter calls for attention"
Mrs Van CleaVe said we all feel
interested in the good morals of the
city and as citizens we should see that
some of the disgracefuI pictures posted
on bill boards and in some of the
show windows should be suppressed.
Our little boys and girls should not see
them and the only way we can get rid
of them is to prosecute the people who
put them up Some Of the cigarette
pictures are not fit to be seen in a
heather country. We very much de-
sire that something be done
Councilman Burgess thought we
had an ordinance covering this matter
City Attorney Bird-We have an or
dinance but doubt If it would serve
the purpose.
Rev e. d. Olden-I hope that the
council viii act, for something should
be done at once.
The matter was then referred.

THE CANAL At ANY COST.
Is the Basis of the Report of the Com
rnerce Committee on the Mic
arauga Canal.

Washington, June 2.-The report Of
the majority of the house committee
on commerce in favor OF the Nicara-
guam canal signed by nine members has
been submitted to the house by Mr..
Sherman of New York.
The report reduces the estimates Of
cost. on the basis of the boards plans
from s13S O0O. GOO to S102 00O, 600 but holds
that 500, OO0 600 viii be an ample appro-
priation.
In conclusion the report says that the
advantages of the canal are so great
that the canal should be built by gov
eminent assistance to the company
even if it sosts over $150,000, 600.

1t was claimed by some of the may

Councilman Drew: 1t would destroy

Councilman Burgess. I do not think
so. They have trimmed my trees and
they were not ruined
Councilman Nettels. This should be
referred. There should be some mmita-
lions upon the company. 1T would make
a great deal Of difference. This matter
should not be considered hastily.
Councilman Elliott: On Topeka ave
nue. some limbs have been cut off and
they were thrown over into the lots and
are there yet The company might
move the poles in some places without
cutting the trees
Following the suggestion OF Council
man Drew the matter went to the com
