Never So General Throughout the Country
as 1t Was This Year.
Chicago, May 31.-The observance Of
Memorial Day was never so general
throughout the country as it was yes
terday. Here the whole city took hol-
iday and there was the usual parade,
decoration of graves and patriotic
speeches, only more so. Notes of the
way the day was kept follow:
At Washington-The observance of
Memorial Day was even more general
than usual. Senator Thurston was the
orator of the day at Arlington. At Den
ver-The veterans of the Union and
Confederacy marched together in pa
rade. AT Philadelphia--Not since the
year of it's institution has Memorial
Day had a more impressive observance
than that of yesterday. AT Gettysburg
field there was grand celebration. At
all the national and state camps of vol
unteers there were celebrations, it goes
without saying.
At New York-The celebration was
the most notable since the nation has
had the graves to decorate. At Lexing-
ton, Ky.-Fer the first time since the
war the Confederate veterans Joined
with the G.. A. r. in observing Memorial
Day. At Boston and other places in
New England the day was celebrated
with unusual interest. At Mobile, Ala.
For the first time in local history there
was general public participation in
Decoration Day services at the National
cemetery. All over the country-north,
south, east and west-the interest in
the day was intensified from the fact
that we are now engaged in another

Measurement for Grain B,n..

A cubical box 1878 inches each way
will hold bushel. Hence to ascertain
the contents of bin take stick or rule
1878 inches long and divide it by marks
into tenths and hundredths. Measure
the length, breadth and depth with
this rule. Multiply the three dimen-
sions together and the product will be
the bushels. This is the most conven-
lent and easiest method known. Use
the rule as though it were feet and
tenths. Suppose, for example, bin
(using this measure as a fooD measures
s.5 feet in length by 81 feet in width,
and 40 feet in depth. The product Of
these is 237.405 or about 237.4 bushels.
Every farmer should make such rule,
and use it in all cases where the con-
tents of bins or boxes are required

Burned at Iron Mountain, Mich.
Iron Mountain, Mich, May 27.-The

years, and girl aged IL, were burned
to crisp and two others, aged 4 and 6,
a girl and a boy, were so badly burned
that they cannot live. 1t Is not known

The children were first aroused before
an alarm was given. Seven managed to
escape, five of them uninjured, but two

LETTER DEAL CLOSED.
May wheat Drops Fifty Cents During the
Last Hours.

Chicago, June Letters famous
wheat deal has been formally closed.
The last moments were lively and Jo-
seph Letter to all appearances, is mas
ter of the situation. AS IL to emphasize
his command of the market Letter sent
May wheat down from s175 to s1.25.
This movement was plainly for the
purpose of evading the big receipts and
to circumvent the "tailers" who wanted
to ring in" a lot of wheat on Letter
at fancy prices. Letter fooled them by
putting the price down. Nevertheless
he had TO take on board another $780,
600 bushels in addition to the pile Of
5000, 600 or 100000 bushels which he
still has on his hands. All attempts to
place Letter, so far as his profits are
concerned, at the elimination of this
gigantic deal, are widely at variance.
Some claim that he will pocket $4,000
900, while others insist with knowing
glances that he will be fortunate IL he
ccmes out whole on the deal.
