The Memorial Exercises.

Shelton celebrated Decoration Day
Saturday and Sunday, although in
most places Monday was the day de-
voted TO the exercises.
Saturday afternoon the members of
the G. A. r. and Sons of Veterans as
semb1ed at their hall and marched to
the Opera house to the martial music
produced by drummer W. W. Smith
and Fifer N. E. Jones. The hall was
comfortably filled with an interesting
audience, although largely made up of
women and children. The exercises
opened with the song America in
which the audience joined Rev. F. O..
Lamoreux delivered the memorial ad-
dress, dwelling upon the causes lead
ing up to the great national conflict
and upon many of the scenes and Incl
dents of history. He paid tribute to
the soldiers who fell in battle, as well
as those who braved its terrors and es-
capped death, and were now enjoying
their declining years in peaceful pur-
suits. His remarks were entertaining
and especially appreciated by the
| Veterans present. An earnest pray
er byRev. F. NJ. Wheeler and patriot
ic songs by the choir made up the ex-
ercises in town and the line Of march
to the cemetery was taken. The W.
c. 7. Z. and ladies of the Rebekah
followed in carriages.
After decorating the graves of the
departed veterans, and other commit
tees performing sinlilas service on all
graves in the cemetery, all gathered
around the grave of Comrade Elab
Dunbar, where Com. Woods conduct
ed the beautiful ceremony of the 6. A.
r. Ritual, followed by an impressive
prayer by Rev. F. NJ. Wheeler, and
the reading of Lincoln's Gettysburg
Speech by Prof. Gunderson, after
which the return to town was made.
On Sunday morning Rev. F. N.
Wheeler delivered the Memorial ser
mon at the opera house before an ap-
preciative audience. The minister re-
ceived many congratulations for his
splendid effort, his words being found
ed upon experience, coming from the
heart of one who had been through
the war with its scenes, sad and other
wise, indelhbly stamped upon memory.
For one and one-half hours the speak
er held his hearers in wrapt attention

The Olympia Packing Co. has on
exhibition at its fish market an Olym-

ures five inches in length by three and

near Doff1emeyer's Point yesterday by
Messrs Con. and Fred Snyder, while
they were fishing in deep water for
