day afternoon at the Ottumwa cemete-
~. The column was several blocks
long, comprised over 600 men and wo-
men and was escorted by two brass
bands. The exercises at the cemetery
stha thousands collected there and es-
pecially so was the address of John w.
Lewis, whose flow of oratory is we'll
known. The column returned to the
city in reverse order from that in
which it marched out and took a diff
ferent route from that outlined in the
program, striking Second street at Nc
Lean and after passing the home OF
the late p. C. Biddison the various or
ders opened ranks allowing the funer-
all cortege to pass thru on its way to
the cemetery. Not a hitch attended

in the future.
Address of John w. Lewis.
Mr.. Lewis ability to do justice to an
occasion of this kind is well known.
He was introduced by Chairman, Fecht,
and said in part as follows:
One of the noteworthy facts of re-
cent times is the unprecedented growth
in numbers and in numerical strength
of fraternal societies. In almost every
sphere of life, along nearly every line
of activity, not confined to race or
country, men are banding together.
The objects of these associations, as
expressed in constitution, bylaw, rit-
ual or VOW, at first glance, present a
wide diversity, but their differences
are seeming rather than substantial
differing chiefly in detail. BY whatev-
er name known, these associations
stand for fraternal good will and good
deeds. They herald better days. Their
advent and phenomenal growth signify
that mankind is drawing together as
never before, that the ranks are clos
ing up. that men are touching elbows.
This tendency toward nearer rela-
tionships finds expression in many
ways. Man has always been classed as
4 social animal; he may now be prop
erly called a gregarious animal. The
life OF solitude and of isolation of old
en- times is no more. National hates
are softening; racial antagonisms are
disappearing; trivial bitterness and ia
mily arrangements are giving place to
feelings of mutual interest, amity and
love.
No one can tell how far this spirit
of determination makes for universal
peace. War is still terrible, but its
olden time cruelties and barbarity are
no longer tolerated. Until the milleni-
UNI shall be ushered in, wars will be
waged but a really great and over-rul-
ing necessity must be shown, some vi
tai principle must be at stake to justi-
fly resort to the dread arbitrament OF
battle. That nation, whatever De its
| professions or pretenses, which wages
j war for conquest's sake must stand
condemned in the sight of all man,
kind.
These manifestations are the fruits
OF Christian civilization. Everywhere
bigotry and cruelty and seltishness. su.
perstition and gloom are giving place
to joyous faith in the universal faith
erhood of God and brotherhood OF
Man. Dogma and creed no longer
command serious consideration while
the sweet sympathy and charity taught
by the life and words of the Savior are
enlisting the hearts and lives of men
as never before.
Am / my brothers keeper?" is find
+ inc, cyNar from the millions Iybpcn
names are on the roster of our frater-
nal societies.
A nroper discharge of our duty in
this life as well as our right to enjoy
i the life to come lies in the doing of
/ good deeds rather than in high sound
ing professions of belief.

sick and We visited me; was in prison

sick and We visited me; / was in prison
and We came unto me-"
Our devotion to our brother does not
cease at the open grave. Every year
as the vernal season recurs, when the
fields are green and fragrant, the air
balmy and the sky azure, the woodland
filled with the melody and mystery of
spring and when all nature is whisper
ing of love and Immortality, we gather
at the graves of our departed and lay
there tribute to their memory.
The world does not forget its lead
ers and heroes. Monuments preserve
their memory and their deeds are in
scribed on tablets of stone. The
achievements of such we would not dis
parage nor their glory efface, but it is
not to the stately tomb alone that we
today make pilgrimage. We would es-
pecially remember the lives of those
who We're to fame unknown; who pa
tisntly and faithfully toiled and
wrought in humble lot content with
that one reward which all may have,
the consciousness of duty well per-
formed. To these lowly workers in the
hive we owe most of all the greatness
of our race and that which makes life
sweet.
These men, our brothers were, and
SO for them we bring today our flow
ers, our love and tears.
Return March.
At the close of the program the bu-
gle was sounded as a signal for all or
ders to take their position in the col
umn just the reverse from that in
which they came. Headed by the Wa
pello Chief band the column marched
to Woodland avenue, thence to Mclean
street and on to Second street. When
the rear of the column reached the
home of the late p. c. Biddison, it op.
ened ranks just as the funeral cortege
was forming. Headed by the Citizens
band it passed thru followed by the
Ancient Order of United Worlimen. 1t
was a mark of respect to the deceased
and was timely.
When the column reached the corner
of Court and Second streets, the Mac
|cabees and Odd Fellows opened ranks
and permitted the Modern Woodmen
to pass thru to the hall on Court
street. The ranks then closed and pro-
ceeded to the corner of Court and Main
streets where the Maccabees again OPP
ened ranks, permitting the Odd Eel
lows, headed by the Wapello CHIEF
band, to pass thru and on to their hal
on East Main street. The Knights Of
the Maccabees, Woodmen of the World
Ancient Order of Hibernians and Court
of Honor lodges then returned to theil
respective halls.
Eleven lodges participated, represent
ing total membership of 1,6o0. The
crowd numbered many thousands and
is said TO be the largest ever assembled
in the Ottumwa cemetery. Everything
went off just as planned and the sec
ond joint-lodge memorial day exercises
have passed into history.

STATE GAME AND FISH COMMITS

The state game and fish commission
"1u experiment this spring with a new
variety OF trout that has developed at the
Willow Brook fish hatchery Executive
Agent Beutner stated yesterday that the
commission had on hand in the neigh
borhood of 100 Albno trout, a fish of the
trout variety, but pure white, with pink
eyes. While the fish in appearance are a
distinct type of the trout, yet it is not
believed that breeding will produce their
kind, but rather the regular trout va
riety.
1t frequently happens In breeding ami
mails that an Albino type is found in a
litter with other dogs, but when bred the
offspring is the same as its grand parent
Out of many thousand eggs 1t seldom
happens that an Albino trout appears. but
millions of spawn are put through the
Matching process every year at the hatch
cry resulting in quite a number Of white
trout
The kinghshers carry off all the Afbino
trout about as fast as they develop to
cry, resulting in quite a number of white
sp1cuous in the water and the birds find
them easy prey. A special pond has been
fitted up with a, screen enclosure, and as
soon as the fish develop a sufficient size
experiments will be made.

NATIONAL GUARD FUND
STATE HAS A LARGE CLAIM
AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT.

Gov. Lind, State Auditor Dunn and
Adjt. Gen. Lambert met yesterday in the
executive chambers and made an ap-
praisal of the value of national guard
property taken out of the state by the
volunteers, as we'll as including money
taken from the national guard fund for
the same purpose. The state has a large
claim, aggregating $135 900, against the
government, and a small payment has
already been made by the treasurer of
the war department. 1t was necessary.
however, to determine how much of this
money came out of national guard funds
and represented equipment furnished as
property of the state militia The board
placed the value Of such equipment as
we'll as the money advanced belonging to
the guard, as $19,S97.O1 which is lust
about covered by the payment made the
state by the government a short time
ago
State Treasurer Koerner was author
lied to transfer 9,S97.01 from the gen
eral fund to the national guard fund
Further payments from the government
will be turned into the general fund as
the claim of the national guard is settled
in full by yesterdays transaction. The
money transferred is immediately avail
able, and Gen. Lambert will use a nor
ton of it fitting out the First regiment

RECEIVER RODGS|)N SAYS
THE SAVINGS BANK OF
ST. PAUL
TOTAL AMOUNT OF THE CLAIMS
He Is Now Collecting MS Fast as He
Can without Distressing
willing Debtors and
Others.

J. c. Michael, as attorney for E. J.
Hodgson, receiver of the Savings Bank of
st. Paul, has secured from Judge Brill
an order permitting the receiver to pay
dividend of 20 per cent on creditors
claims filed since Nov 81, 1889, and up
to March 81. Mr.. Hodgson, when seen
by a G 0 b e reporter last evening, made
the following statement in repiy to his
queries.
Il am now paying the remainder of the
nrst dividend OF 70 per cent. Those who
filed claims previous to Nov. %, 1899 were
paid some weeks ago, and whose who
filed subsequently to that date I am now
payl4-eE= The total amount of these claims
is, in round numbers, $4,000, and the
dividend to be paid about $17 600 De-
Quoting this sum from the cash now on
hand, 1t will leave me with about
dividend
mo, I cannot say when the next divi-
dend will be paid, or what amout 1t will
be If l could l would gladly do so. as If
has been, and is, my policy to give the
depoSltorS through the press all the ma
leilal lhlormauon / can, and to keep them
posted on the situation and the progress
we are making. l cannot do this per-
sonaIly because if / was to spend ten min
utes year with each of the nearly $500
claimants, ii would take more than half
my time.
Il am simply collecting as fast as 7
can without distressing willing debtors
and those who l have reason to believe
are DONG their utmost to pay up. The
mortgages 1 have foreclosed are such as
! am persuaded will yield no further re-
How am I getting along with the real
estate? Well, ! have sold real estate ia
the amount of $lS,425. which was apprais-
ed at 81 1855. The gross gain is there
fore s., $50, but some of these sales We're
made by real estate agents to whom
have paid $5l625 commissions, making tbf
net gain $773.75. The most of the sales
nave made myself, and on those, OF
course no commission is paid The reg
ular commissions on sales made bv me
would amount to at least $3.50, so YOU see
the receiver is earning at least MARI
OF his salary The houses I have soif
are of the poorer class l find it utterIV

and l do not believe it possible 10 sell
them at any thing like appraised values
