HONORED THE DEAD.
FRED S. LOWELL POST PAY ANNUAL
TRIBUTE TO COMRADES.
sTREW GRAVES WITH FLOWERS
Special Memorial Services for the Victims
Of the Maine.-Rev. I. W. Corey
Delivers the Annual Ad
dress

Fully 1000 people visited the GENE
terry Monday to pay the annual tribute
10 the soldier dead. The exercises
we're conducted by the Fred S. Lowell
Post G. A. r. assisted by the ". r. c..
and were of more than usual interest.
At $50 the old comrades gathered at
the barracks and marched to the ceme-
terry to the shrill music of the fife and
muffied drum. Large numbers of
citizens followed on foot and in car
riages. When the old comrades
reached the cemetery they proceed at
once to their lot and opened the serv-
ices of the day with the regular ritual
stic services of the order.
In reviewing the year several Of the
boys have fallen, and many new me-
MORALS were read. The regular serv
ices being over a special Maine service
was given under the direction of Mrs
S. O. Brewer Twelve little boys
dressed in pretty little sailor suits
honored the memory of the brave boys
who went down on the Maine with
patriotic speeches. The Grand Army
also had special floral offering for the
Maine sailors in the way of large
circle done in red, white and blue
flowers. Cuban freedom was breathed
forth in every song, and every speech
and indeed the great purpose of Me-
moriol day seemed partially lost in the
desire to show feeling of patriotism
aroused by the present war.
A wagon load of little girls wearing
pure white dresses and waving Ameri-
can flags, paid tribute to the old
soldier in music and recitation.
After this Comrade Boyington, in a
few we'll chosen words introduced Rev.
|. W. Corey, who delivered the address
of the day. Mr.. Corey's words We're
we'll chosen and thrilled every loyal
heart. After the address the old COM
rades gathered up the little baskets of
flowers and proceeded to cover the
graves of the fallen heroes, who fell in
the defense of the Nations honor and
the Nations flag. No partially was
shown and every grave regardless of
the rank of the comrade whose last
resting place it marked, received the
same benediction Of tears and natures
most beautiful flowers. During the
impressive services at the graves the
Woman's Relief Corps gathered round
the grave Of Mrs. j. G. Gottfredsen
and went through the ritual of their
order.
The exercises of the day we're very
impressive and were productive of
great patriotic feeling il the hearts of
those present.
The Memorial services were held last
Sunday evening at the NJ. E. church,
Rev. S. W. Naylor preaching the ser
mon on the subject of Puritan and
Cavalier.
= Cover them over; yes, cover them over.
Parent and husband brother and lover,
Crown in your hearts those dead herOs of ours
And cover them over with beautiful flowers"

Miss Runa1s Delights a Large Crowd at
Rhode opera House.

The patriotic concert given by Miss
Lily Runals at the opera house Monday
evening was a great success. The

which consisted of drill by number
of young ladies carrying the flags OF
the different nations. AS a finale to
this act seven little boys dressed as
American sailors and carrying the
Union Jack brought in Cuba, while
Charles Cooper sang tenor solo.

Worn Out Song" A terrible outburst
of applause greeted this piece, which
continued for fully five minutes.
The program closed with medley OF
national airs by full chorus of 150

O, JORGENSON, OF RACINE, CAP
TURES BIG BICYCLE EVENT.
RAY CULLEY WINS PLACE PRIZE
Kenosha Base Ball Teams Lose to visit
ing Teams By Large Scores-J. B.
Davidson and Miss Bond Win
in Golf Tournament.

The great road race given under the
auspices of the Sterling and Windsor
factories was held Monday afternoon
and it proved to be the greatest Ath
.etic event ever pulled off in the city
Great interest was manifested in the
event and all along the line great
crowds pushed OUT to the narrow path
left for the riders. 1t was nearly 2:l0
when the limit man crossed the tape
and started out in the race with the
expectant eyes Of three thousand spec
tators looking upon them. Every man
had his friends, and as each started
his friends shouted words Of encOur-
agement. After the riders had all
started the crowd settled down to
await the finish, and in forty minutes
after the first man, Ray Galley, crossed
the tape bearing the mum Der 30. Gull
ley won from JorgensOn, of Racine, by
only TWO yards, and the sprint between
the two men was pretty one In a
second more half dozen other riders
finished and it was evident that the
scratch riders would not figure in the
race. In five minutes nearly all the
riders had finished and the interest
centered in the figures given out by
officials. 1T was found oUt that Jor
censor, OF Racine. had Won the time
prize, defeating Kleifeld, who came IN
second by over five seconds and Robin
son won third time prize one-ffth of a
second later.
The frs six place prizes with the
handicaps of the men were:
l Ray Cu'ley, 81 minutes.
2 O. JorgenSon, . minutes
F. Schmitt, 81 minutes.
t A. Beals, 5 minutes
5 P. Tulley, minutes.
A. Ball, . minutes.
The time prizes were awarded as
follows:
l O. Jorgen8on, time 4035 %.
2 P. Kleifeld, time 4046 %.
W. q. Robinson, time 40.48 80.
Fl. Lock, time 1910
5 P. Ole, time 4l.5.
The winners of the race we're rank
outsiders and the large number Of
men disqualified may yet change the
official race. Both the winners rode a
very plucky race and are worthy of the
TWO bicycles which we're awarded them
today as prizes.

T. J. Meyers, who drives the bus be-
tween the city and the electric railroad
station, met with a serious accident
shortly after noon today. He was
driving the bus, and shortly after be
had crossed the bridge was taken
with a fit and fell forward under
the horses feet. One Of his feet caught
in the rope connected with the door of
the bus and kept him from being in
stantly killed. AS it was he was
thrown behind the horses and the two
wheels passed over his body He was
taken to Lambs drug store, where an
examination of his injuries was made.
The wheels of the wagon had passed
over his head and cut an ugly cash,
extending from his forehead to the
middle of his head. His right foot was
also badly crushed. He was taken
home in carriage and is resting easy.
Besides young Meyers the bus con-
tanned 1. T. Bishop, formerly president
of the county board, T. Frederick and

Maine Saw Mills.

The following is clipped from the pub

Bangor before the State Valuation Com
missioners. Mr.. Engle has had wide ex.
perience In land aud lumber aff4irs In
Maine and his statements are entitled to
consideration.

stream and drive 1t hundreds Of miles TO
tide water mills; it is TOO expensive and
too slow for modern affairs; the outlay is
TOO great, proceeds too small.
1t is already self evident that when a
mill burns, it is never replaced and when
ever the head of firm dies, the business
is not continued by the heirs and 50, one
by one, they drop out and we will all
see, In course of % or 80 years, that a
saw mill OF any size will be great curl

The Dreyfus Case.

The Lewiston Journal has distn.
guished Paris correspondent ia the per.
son of Mrs. Frye, wife of Senator Frye
who is one of the U. S. peace commits
sioners.
Mrs. Frye had the faculty of conden-
sation, which is not possessed by every
newspaper correspondent, but it appre-
ciated by newspaper men. As an in
stance of this we quote from her allusion
to the celebrated Dreyfus case, about
which broadsides have been printed.
Mrs. Frye gives the gist of the case in
the following compact form:
Last Sunday there was considerable
trouble in the streets here-the Dreyfus
sympathizers apparently stirring up the
crowd. Several men were severely hurt
Perhaps many of your readers may have
seen good deal of the Dreyfus case,
but not really understand what il is.
Dreyfus was in the French army, an
officer, was charged with being a traitor
to France, was tried behind closed doors.
was convicted and imprisoned. The
evidence on which he was convicted was
never shown to him or his counsel. as
required by French law The secretary
of war produced letter written .by
Dreyfus, the only real proof against
him. Dreyfus was also tried by court
marshal, by which he was found guilty
on the evidence of the same letter, which
afterwards was conclusively shown to
have been forgery-its author having
confessed and then committed suicide
The French people demanded a new
trial, charging both the government and
the army with having committed a crime
against French citizenship.
thursdays morning paper says new
trial has been granted. Zola defended
Dreyfus and attacked the proceedings
He was tried, convicted and punished
also.
