TT 10 n,anv wears now since the vet
eran of the War of the Rebellion be-
gan to observe change in the tone
and color Of the manner In Wnlch
Memorial day was observed. The SUD-
dued solemnity, the sober decorum OF
the first of these recurring days came
from memories that held in their fresh
ness the scenes of carnage and the dis
NAL solitariness of the army hospitals.
The widow in her somber weeds, the
mother whose boy or boys were her
sacrifice, were among those who OBJ
served the day and lent to the gather,
ing funereal color whose complement
of tone was in the speakers address
which dwelt upon the consultations to
be found in the preservation OF the
Union intact, the transmission OF the
precious heritage unimpaired to fu-
ture generations.
Then, as they came and grew, the
veterans children came to bear their
little parts of song and recitation, and
they brought with them their buoyant
spirits over which the day cast no
shadow of grief, whose memories held
no impressions Of the blows of great
losses. To them it was a holiday, re-
lease from school, day of flower gath
ering and matchmaking and banner
hanging, day of pleasure. And all
49, oor,;po obopoaS wara fOraSha dOwed
in the white dresses and gay sashes
and smiling faces of the girls and the
exuberant spirits and friskiness of the
bows. The somberness of color was fad
ing, black was becoming gray and gray
was getting white, and the tone
changed with the color and sounded
notes of cheer of inspiration, of loyal
ty. The HOLIDAY was becoming more
and more the holiday, the day of re-
taxation and pleasure.
And now the state Of Minnesota has
taken official notice of this ever-increas-
ing change, coming as naturally as
time assuages grief or nature buries
the dreariness of winter in the foliage
of spring, by enacting that certain
noisy phases of merriment shall cease
within certain hours of the day dur
ing which the surviving veterans are
strewing garlands on the graves Of
their dead comrades, and listening to
the addresses that no longer aim to ad-
minister consolation to grieving hearts
sore with the freshness Of their losses.
The act but echoes the feeling of cha
grin in the hearts of the old veterans
that the day that means so much to
them should mean so little to the gen.
Grafton that has come ON to take their
places, and on whom the mirth, the
pleasure seeking, the holiday making
of these youngsters jar like laughter at
a funeral. 1t signifies nothing more
than the protest Of the aggrieved
against the inevitable; for the same
tendency that has made THANKSGIVING
day a day of feasting instead Of one Of
fasting, and softened the austere Sab
bath of the Puritan into day of real
restfulness, Is making Memorial day
ever more and more day when siren
uous endeavor in the everlasting strug-
gle for livelihood seeks and finds the
relaxation best suited to its taste.

MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENT
Enjoyed by a Large Audience In
SjOberg's Hall.


The Swedes and Norwegians of Ar.
lington Hills were treated to an en-
joyable musical and literary entertain
ment last evening at Sjoberg's hall.
Payne avenue and Wells street. G. o.
Sederberg had charge of the pro-
gramme, which was acceptable to the
large audience present. The first num-
Der was a quartette selection. A we'll
executed piano solo was given by Prof
J. Lundberg. Miss Agusta Wicklunl
gave the only number in English on
the programme entitled "Supposing."
Miss Wicklund was warmly encored
The Normaendenes Singing society
also gave several numbers. The bal
ance of the programme was contrib
uted by j. Aug. Nilsson, Prof. j. J.
Appleton and Miss Gerda Lund. J. o.
Sederberg gave an address on the ex-
position which is now being held In
Stockholm. He reminded his country
men that it had been thirty years
since such an exposition had been held,
and told Of the prosperity and develop
ment of the country in that time. The
exposition opened May Is and will close
the first of November. The kings ju-
bilee, which occurs in September, Is the

WORK STOPPED.
Operations Of The Nevada Mining
Company Ended BY Attachment Suit.

On Friday evening j. E. Price
brought suit for himself and John
Snsath in the district court against
the Nevada Mining Company for
ss5O.OO wages due, and attached
the property of the company. The
result was a shutdown of all work
at roth mine and mill and the prop
erty has since been in charge of a
keeper.
The company is a local concern
operating the Yuba mine through
the Pacific tunnel east of Meadow
Valley summit, and the mill of the
Phoebe Con. Co. at the summit.
The company is involved to the
extent of about SIS, 10000 in all.
The belief is almost general among
the men that the mine will pay, and
they proposed to operate it and the
mill themselves. They had about
concluded on this course on Satur-
day when it was announced that w.
5. Godbe was on his way from Salt
Lake. Z. l.. Godbe went out on
Sunday to meet him at Sulphur and
last evening returned alone, stat
ing that his father had left Salt Lake
unaware that the property here was
under attachment, and, not being in
position to pay off, his father deem
ed it unnecessary to come through,
had returned to Suit Lake and was
going east.
1t is believed by many and hoped
by all, that he has gone to procure
funds with which to lift the present
Indebtedness.
In the meantime the question is
again under discussion of having
the men run the property for time,
and the owners of the lease are
generally willing to this and will
cooperate to make it pay its way
out.
The mine is said to be looking
fairly we'll and this fact is what in
duces the men to so readily under
take to work out their redemption.
1t is most unfortunate for the
town that the present failure should
occur.

Mining men from outside poi IS
still visit us. Several have been
with us this week and more are re-
ported as coming.
The new find reported last week
near Pixies diggings is said to be
looking well and the locators are
pushing work very hopefully.
R. G. Lund came in from Salt
Lake last Friday accompanied by a
Montana mining man who has since
been inspecting the whole district,
particularly the Lund-Campbell-
johnson group.
DR.. w. j. Nelson is said to be at
Salt Lake and is expected here any
time now with Boston parties to
look over the Ross and adjoining
properties. If it happens it will
mean resumption of work there.
Col. Pickett, who is interested in
the Clark and Troutman property
came in from Salt Lake on Satur-
day MIR. Mericks, prominent
mining man in the west, accompani-
ed him and has been looking very
generally and carefully over the
district. Both gentlemen will re-
turn north in few days.
1t is reported from the Stateline
side that the people are looking
very anxiously there for Mr.. Pop
kiss return and hoping he will be
position TO pay off when he
arrives. Since the departure of
Mess. Popkiss and Fisher on the
10Th. the mill has been shut down
Mr.. Fisher is said to have expressed
himself as very we'll satisfied with
the outlook at Statline and it is from
this probably, that the rumor stated
that the mill was to be enlarged
ut once by the addition of three
more steam stamps.

The new schedule puts all the
main towns of the county on the

conveniences to follow are appar-
ent to all, especially in the way of
passenger traffic. Heretofore with
the stop overs necessary at Panaca,
passenger leaving Phoebe at eight
in the morning reached DeLamar at
two or three the following morning,

from De Lamar left at three in the
afternoon, stopped over most of the
night at Panaca reached here at six

Virginia Army Appointments.

sH6""U FHHt appointments
The Virginia Chronicle says in re-
gard to the appointment of Colonel
Lord as paymaster of the army:
THE receipt of the news was a
surprise to Colonel Lord, who is
placed in dilemma, as he was ar
ranging to accompany the Nevada
infantry battalion to the field, where
he would also hold the rank of major
He has not yet decided whether to
accept the appointment or to accom-
pany the battalion in active service,
his preference being for the latter,
but as he applied for the position
conferred upon him under the i'm
preston that no battalion would be
accepted from this state he is placed
in perplexing situation.
TT is generally considered here
that in case Col. Lord accepts the
paymastership offered him, Captain
G. III. Colburn of company A may
be the officer selected to command
the Nevada militia"
The Virginia City papers also say
that the appointment of second lieu
tenant in the regular army has been
rendered to Mark Averill and was
accepted by him and he will in all
probability receive his commission
in due time. Mr.. Averill was prin-
cipal of the Winnemucca public
schools several years ago and has
since held a similar position in the
Virginia schools.
Dick Tobin of Virginia has been
offered the position of solo eornetist
in California regimental band and
will probably accept. He is to re-
port to San Jose in few days.
