THE DECORATION DAY ADDRESS.

Hon. w. NJ. Robertson Emphasizes the
Obligations of Loyalty In IA Fine Address,
School Children Help to Decorate the
Graves-The Procession Includes Veter-
ans, Boys, Firemen, and City Dignitsries.
From Wednesdays Daily.
Yesterday morning the clouds threat
ened more rain and the outlook was not
suspicious for the carrying out of the
program which had been arranged for
Memorial day. But as the day wore on
the clouds broke away. High winds
and a rising temperature made it any
thing but agreeable but the rain failed
to materialize and the exercises pro-
ceeded very satisfactorily.
In The morning those who were dele.
gated to decorate the graves of the sol
diers at the cemeteries proceeded in car,
riages to the graves, the old veterans
first, followed by members of the Wom-
ems Relief corps and the school children
two buses full of little girls dressed
in white and carrying fowers-and
other friends in carriages.
At the cemetery the beautiful service
of the Grand Army Of the Republic for
this special day was read and the
mounds of the departed heroes were
lovingly strewn with flowers at the
hands of the children.
In the afternoon the procession
formed at the corner of Fourth street
and Norfolk avenue. 1t was composed
of the different organizations as pub
lished in The NEWS, with an important
addition not down ON the program.
Next to the old veterans, who were the
vanguard Of the parade, and closely fol
lowing them, was an impromptu COM
pany Of militia comprised of the
young boys, who with their wooden
guns and %soldierly bearing attracted at
tention as the rightful followers of the
veterans. They were a motley crowd
but they felt the Importance of the &C.
casion and added greatly to its signif-
canoe.

Despite the decision Of Judge Bur
well OF Oklahoma, denying ,cOunties
the right to transfer their county
seats, the special election on this
question was to be held 10 Grant
county yesterday, according to the
ford papers. Medford is confident
she will be chosen as the county seat
and proposes to carry the case to the
supreme court, in the nope that
Judge Burwell's decision will be
reversed. The fight in Grant county
has been an exciting one, with Med
ford, Pond Creek and Jefferson as
candidates. The special election was
called by the commissioners upon
petition of large number OF citizens
The Pond Creek and Jefferson people
claimed that the election would be
illegal be .ause call was not issned
by Governor Barnes, but Attorney
General Cunningham gave an opinion
that this was not necessary. Now
Medford proposes to vote whether
:he other towns do or not and it will
be for the supreme court to decide
whether Judge Barwell was right in
declaring the transfer Of county seat:
to be beyond the power Of territorial
counties.
