accorded the most possible attention
from the beginning to the end, and he
treated hissubjectin q manner as to elicit
hearty congratulations from his friends

the rebellion, and to the young men of

Grand Army and Relief Corps Join IN the
Annual Ceremony.
Sunday afternoon was observed by
the Grad Army and the W. r. G. as
Memorial Sunday. The exercises were
neld in the Grand opera house, and but
for the very chilly weather the build
ing would have been crowded, as it was
the house was comfortably filled. The
G.. A. r. and W. r. G. met at their
hall and marched in body to the
opera house, occupying the seats re-
served in front. The stage presented
very patriotic appearance, flags being
hung everywhere, and one immense
flag hung at the rear as background
for the decorations. Commander Nc
Lain had charge of the exercises. The
devotional part was conducted by Rev.
A. G.. Stevens and the music was furn-
ished by Mrs. 81. E. Hitchcock, Misses
Boggs, Smith and Nobis and Messrs.
Brown, Kratz aud Hover under the
direction of j. S. Daniels. The SER
mon was delivered by Rev. B. W. Bur-
leigh and in opening he referred to the
war in which his auditors were engag-
ed and then to the present conflict which
the country is now pursuing, supple
menting his remarks with brief out
line history of Spain and her people,
and confined the latter portion of his
address to the war against sin, in which
every man, woman and child is expect
ed to declare his colors and stand by
them. His sermon throughout was a
magnificent one and the close attten-
tion paid to his words made evident the
deep impression on the audience. At
ter the singing of the national hymn,
america" the audience was dismissed
with the benediction pronounced by
Rev. A. @. Stevens.

ORGANIZING THE VOLUNTEERS
A Company of Volunteers Being Organ
ized Under the Second Call.

Company of Volunteers Being Organ
lied Under the Second Call.
L. e. Whitcher and D. G. Burnside
opened a recruiting station for volun-
teers Monday, under the second call
issued by President Mckinley for
$4,000 men. The room was the scene
of consid derable enthusiasm as the boys
walked up to the table and signed the
the roll. At the close OF the Mem
orial address in the opera house in the
afternoon war meeting was held and
fully half of the vast audience re-
NAMED. Gen. Geo. A.. Silsby and Mr..
Whitcher made speeches on the stu
alton and their remarks were cheered
to the echo. The eligible men were
urged to join the volunteer company
at once to enable Mitchell to be the
first in the field with full recruited
company. Between 40 and so men
have signed the roll and they were
especially selected with regard TO
weight and height so that all they will
be required to pass is the physical
examination. Mr.. Whitcher thinks
there will be very little trouble in
securing the full company at once.
An effort will be made to have the
companies of the second regiment
mobilize in this city, as it is the center
of large scope of country from which
no troops have been drawn and its CEN
tral location and railroad facilities will
entitle it to more consideration than
any other town in the state. The mat
ter should be looked after at once and
start the sentiment toward Mitchell.
Parties desiring to join the volunteer
company can hand their names to
either Mr.. Whitcher or MIR. Burnside.

Health In Large Cities.

The physical health of many modern
cities has been immensely improved by
careful. systematic attention to SANTA
ton. During the greater part of the last
century the death rate In London was
about 20 per loo each year. II had de-
creased to 2f.0 in 1850. and fell to III per
I.ooo last year. though the population of
the city has doubled during that time.
The death rate in London Is now only a
little larger than In rural districts OF
England.
