An Excellent Suggestion.

In discussing the significance of
Memorial Day, and it's proper observ-
ance, the Minneapolis Tribune sug-
gests that thevictims of the Maine dis
aster be held in special remembrance,
and urges a general participation in
theceremonies as never before. Itsays:
For years past the people have sim
cerely devoted this day to the memoir
les. While they have placed the lilacs
over the boys in blue, they have not
wholly forgotten, and have forgiven,
the boys in gray who sleep under
the willows. For the people have be-
come one nation with our flag.
Memorial Day this year has an ideal
significance. There is a new element
in it. Shall the brave boys who went
down in the Maine be forgotten? And
shall they not be remembered alike in
North and South? They were the first
sacrifice in the present struggle OF
liberty against tyranny; no one can

milton before another year rolls by.
In view of this double aspect of this
Memorial Day, all citizens should join
with one voice and helping hand with
the members of the G.. A. r. in making
the occasion memorable one.
Let the honored dead in the ceme-
teries be remembered with flowers and
ceremonies, and let the unknown heroes
of the country's history and those gal
liant sons who so lately gave their lives
in her service receive honor and praise
in public meetings.
May patriotism be unconfined to the
just recognition of those who fought
the good fight for native land and
liberty, and to the encouragement Of
the living who are now engaged in that
struggle.

to appropriate 5000 out of the general
fund in the village treasury to be
used in improving the roads in Doug

and applied to the county commission
ers for like appropriation from the
county revenue fund. The sums will

Nothing contributes more to the

w. o. P. Hilsdale, Chan Marshall,
S. P. Hansen and Chas. F. Hendryx,
to push the matter. We need it, and
will have it. A good agricultural So
ciety will do this city and the western
portion of the county more good than
any thing that could be devised. 1t
will benefit the farmer, the laborer,
the banker, the baker, the dealer, and
even the editor. Let us all stand to-
gether for vigorous, rousing, sue
cessful agricultural society, with an
nual fairs that will bring people fifty
miles.

Que Soldier BOYS.

CAMP RAMsEY-St. Paul May 9Th,
1898.
Editor HERALD:
1t is no easy matter to become a
soldier, and great deal harder to
| be one after you have reached that po-
sition. There is the drill to be gone
through with which is not merely a
matter of recreation. 1t is hard work
for about six hours every day. You
are compelled to march around and
keep step. Also to make the differ
ent moves in marching, and after be-
ing told a couple of times, if not exc
cuted you must expect to take a scold-
ing from your superior officer and say
nothing, for if you do, the otfense is
punishment in the form of confinement
in the guard house, or being placed
on police duty. Police duty consists
in being compelled to carry off Stops,
carry wood, help clean up the quar-
tiers, and if there is none of this to do
you are compelled to carry an arm
full of wood back and forth from one
end of the street to the other, or wheel
wheelbarrow, sometimes empty,
sometimes loaded: and you are not al
lowed to let it touch the ground with
out permission from the guard who
is placed over you, armed with gun
and baynonet.
We have all taken the examinations,
and all passed except few. We will
probably receive our uniforms in a
few days now. We are supposed to
keep our beds all clean, blankets
folded, and hung up all alike, also to
keep our dishes washed and in good
shape. We heard to-day that we
were liable to be called on at any mo-
ment to leave for the south or west.
The boys all seem, to think alike and
that is that they are ready and anx-
ious to go.
Well, must close for this time and
I will try and write again in the near
future, SO saying goodbye [ remain a
friend and well-wisher to all.

NeiShbOrhOOd Row.

One of those unfortunate neighbour
hood rows which are thoroughly dis
creditable to all parties engaged, came
up for hearing in the municipal court
on Tuesday. Joseph Jenc, an old
man, over 80 years of age, sued
Joseph TRACER, his next neighbor
for personal damages for assault. A
feud had existed for some time, and
the courts had been appealed to once
before in the same matter. An old
watering trough belonging to Jenc
foated across the slough upon the
premises of TRACER last summer. He
claims to have found it on his mead
ow, fixed it up and used it. Jenc had
him arrested sometime since for steal
ing it, but on trial TRACER was acquit-
ed. In March it is claimed, Jenc
went to Tragers place, to get the
trough and trouble arose. There was
high word DIS between Mrs. TRACER and
Jenc, which attracted Trager's atten-
ton, who naturally took sides with
his wife. 1t is claimed that he threw
the old man violently to the ground
and kicked him. Serious physical
injuries are alleged to have ensued,
and this trial resulted. The case oc.
cupied all day in the trial. 1t went to
the jury at 8 p. m. and at a. m. re.
turned a verdict of SS7. so and costs fol-
the plaintiff. TRACER was then ar
rested on criminal proceedings, plead
guilty to assault and battery, and was
fined one dollar and costs.

In EMgy.

Some of our Indignantly patriotic
young citizens attested their contempt
for Butcher Weyler by hanging him
in effigy to the livery sign south of
the Star Hotel, early on Monday
morning. A suit of straw-stuffed
clothing, with boots and hat COM
plete, with false face very like the
features of the late Captain General
of Cuba made a startling life-like
dummy. The effigy was cut down
early in the day, and later strung up
to telegraph pole on the coner of
Third and Oak-sts., with an American
flag flying over it's head.
