Tho Author Of Memorial Day.

4AV A0k0VK Va 08I01uOx16A Lay,
The celebration of Memorial Day is
one of our most praiseworthy customs
and one which has done much to soften
the bitterness which the Civil War en-.
gendered between the North and South
This day was born out Of partner.
ship between q woman's tender heart
and q mans noble purpose. Mrs. John
A. Logan, wife of the heroic volunteer
general, made trip with friends in
March, 1868, to Richmond for the pur.
pose of visiting the Notifications and
battle fields around the city. When
they returned, they reported to General
Logan what they he'd seen. -
Mrs. Logan was impressed by the evi.
dences Of desolstion and destruction
which she witnessed everywhere, partic.
ularly emphasized by the innumerable
graves which filled the cemeteries, many
Of which were those of Confederate
soldiers. In the summer before, they
had all been decorated with little flags
and wreaths of flowers, all of which
were faded.
General Logan, who was commander.
in-chief of the Grand Army, then con
ceived the idea of issuing an order ask.
ing the entire people Of the nation
to inaugurate the custom of annually
decorating the graves of the patriotic
dead, as q memorial to their sacrifice
He issued the first order for May 30
1858, and 1t was 80 enthusiastically re-.
ceived and generally observed, that he
decided to cause 1t to be q national
holiday BY joint resolution of Con.
gress. Through his influence this was
accomplished, and 1t has passed into
history as beautiful custom. The

severity of the winter of 1899, which
has caused such sad havoc among the
nurseries and fruit-f fields of the entire

new lines of horticultural work and is
likely to call out new subjects for
thought discussion. Experienced Horti-
culturslists are expected to be present
as delegates from both Wisconsin and
Minnesota. Cresco is the home of j.
B. Mitchell one of northern Iowa's vet
ersn nurserymen, who, together with
the citizens of that place, will spare no
pains to make the occasion agreeable to
all who may attend, an assurance of
which fact is already evidenced by their
liberal offer to furnish free entertain.

PUMPKINS AS SELF-PRESERVERS
Mr.. Reynolds Has OKe which Kept all
winter.

Yesterday H. ". Reynolds brought a
big pumpkin to the Eagle office which
was as yellow, as sound, as fine as the
day It was cut from the vine. and that
day was last fall Mr. Reynolds rolled
It and other pumpkins into his cellar and
It has kept perfectly. Most every one
who saw II thought It was vanished or
preserved in some artificial way, but this
is not true II IL OF no particular kind,
but just q common pumpkin. All Mr..
Reynolds stored away kept perfectly, and
demonstrated that pumpkins will keep in
season and out OF season. The pumpkin
is on exhibition at Ross Brothers seed
store. Mr.. Reynolds place Is Just west
OF Valley Center. He says it has been
a great year. He had no wheat in. but
his corn Is fine his potatoes are fine. so
are his grapes, his apples are croWding
one another on the branches and the
pears are thick. The crop OF grass and
alfalfa Is unprecedented Mr. Reynolds
has farmed In this and Reno county since
ISL and he says there Is absolutely no
kick against this country which is jus
tifiable. He has been successful This
year he noteS down as a particularly
abundant one. and he says he hears no
complaint. for prosperity Is In fact here,
visible to everybody. He sells none OF
his grain, feeding St 70 stock
On his farm Is q 4s-acre plat Of blue
grass which he says Is very fine In his
opinion the reason lawns In town DO not
do wei = because the sun kills them
after they have been wet down.

with other women caused trouble be-
tween McCoskey and his wife and that
they separated about 1872. McCoskey is
now 81 years of age. The reports as to
his having killed other men are, his
nephew SAYS. untrue. He used to beat
his wife occasionally. and he had some
trouble with his wife's mother. He eIso
attempted'to xii himself shortly after his
trouble with his wife, and in his fore
head still wears a scar which Is evidence
of this attempt to take his own life.
Young McCoskey has talked with his
uncle since coming here and says that he
seems perfectly sane except for his mys-
terious talk when speaking Of the muir
der and the things leading up to it.

Mr.. Walter J. Costigan Of Ottawa,
called at the Eagle office yesterday in
company with Governor Iewelling. Mr..
Costigan IS one OF the active leaders OF
Populism In Kansas and when he was
helping 10 manage things Populism en-
joyed successes to which Il Is stranger
now. But Mr.. CostIgan says he has re-
tired from active politics. He is engaged
in the practice OF law at Ottawa and en-
joys his profession AM prospers in 1t.
When asked what he believed would be
the issue next year he said trust and
antitrust" He thought the Republican
party and its opponent would both de-
clare against trusts. but the Republican
party being IN the saddle and sot doing
anything to combat the trusts would have
the poor end OF the argument in a cam

DO You Dreamf

The fullest examination into the ma
ture and origin of dreams has been
made by NJ Moreau, the French scien-
fist He divides dreams into the dreams
of health a1el the dreams that are the
result of diseased state of mind or
body
With regard to the latter it need only
be remarked that persistent dreaming Is
one of the NEST invariable symptoms of
insanity. and as it is a psychological
fact that genius is near allied to mad
ness men of genius must be expected to
dream more than ordinary men
With regard to the dreams of health,
they are the result Of an imperfect state
of consciousness or an imperfect state
of sleep, according as we look at 1t, 1t
is obvious that the mind of the clever
man, that is constantly occupied with
many schemes and thoughts, is more
liable to be awake when his body is
asleep than that of the dullard whose
mind is often asleep when his body is
awake
Thus the sleep of the plowboy has
become proverbial on account of its I'M
distu, bed nature In most cases man
of lively imagination and quick brains
is undoubtedly more liable to dream
than the dullard

When Love Was Bunkered.

"Ah," she said, stroking his soft
curls and looking regretfully into his
upturned face-he was kneeling beside
her-"you will not think me cruel, will
you? You will be brave and try to for
get me, won't you? You do not know
how sorry am to be compelled to say
no to you Under other circumstances
we might have been happy together,
but as it is | must be frank with you
There is no hope.
His whole frame was shaken by a
great sob
Then he looked appealingly into her
fawnlike eyes and asked:
why is it. Virginia, that you are so
sure we cannot be happy together
Why may l not HOPPER
There is an impossible barrier be-
tween us, she replied "You are the
champion golf player of this state, and

you are,
Realizing that his dream of bliss was
