AlthOugn tuesday afternoon and
Evenings, continued rain gave
promiseo be ing an extremely wet day
Wednesday, such was not the case.
In the middle Of the forenoon Of the
Fourth the sky cleared, the sun shin
Ing until late In the afternoon when
clouds again formed and a few &C.

little. Later in the evening these
showers turned into q steady rain
which continued until daylight

N Al 10 O'Clock sharp Wednesday the
parade formed and marched through
the principal streets Of the city. On
account Of the appearance OF rain
the parade was not as large as it
should have been, the lodges repre-
sented being fewer in number than
usual and other parts Of the process
sion being comparatively small.
Marshal Burial led the process
sion, and was followed by the North
Echo band, the Woodmen and
their team in uniform came next, the
Glueks ball team. which played in
the. afternoon, joined in and swelled
the length of the procession, the
various hose, chemical and hook and
ladder companies were next in line,
they were followed by cyclists and
citizens. After passing through the
principal streets OF the city they re-
turned to the grand stand where
the North Echo band played a
couple OF pieces. Following a song,
rendered by a chorus OF several
voices, Miss George Cornwell read
the Declaration OF Independence In a
very pleasing manner. Through the
inability Of Judge E. F. Shaw to
speak, Prof. j. 3. Knudson delivered
the grafton of the day. His re-
marks were short, but to the point.
He has pleasing deliverance and

MEDICINAL.

Tn. engineer misunderstood the signals
o,d there was frightful railroad collis-
ION with terrible loss of life. The whole
country was appalled, by that accident.
There Is doubtless far greater loss Of
life occurring every day, In various sec
tons of the country, for which the only
evcrse is.-"the doctor didn't under
stand the symptoms. These cases are
not the subjects of special inquest or the
country would be aghast at the sacrifice
of life to ignorance.
II has been the experience of DR.. R. v.
pierce and his staff of assistant physi-
c;ans that ninety eight out of every
hundred persons submitting to their
treatment can be cured. People given
no by the local physicians, weak, ena-
ciated, with stubborn coughs and bleed
mo lungs have been absolutely cured by
the use Of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery.
Sick people are invited to consult Dr..
pierce bv letter free. All letters are
held as strictly private and treated as sa-
credlv confidential. Answers are mailed
in plain envelopes without any printing

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the civil
lized world. Your mothers and grand
mothers snever thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostration or Heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation OF undi-
gested food, regulate the action OF the
liver, stimulate the nervous and organic
action of the system, and that Ia ell
they took when feeling dull and bad
with headaches and other aches. You
only need a few doses OF Green's

you satisfied there is nothing serious
the matter with you. For sale by

TIE MEMORIAL BRIDGE.

For two hours yesterday afternoon in
the rooms of the Business Mems Asso
citation, Ia Washington, the Board OF
Development OF Alexandra County
discussed matters of interest. 1t was
the regular meeting OF the organization
present. President A, M. Lothrop oc
cupied the chair and James E. Clements
acted ss secretary. The proposed Me-
mortal Bridge was the feature of debate
and a resolution favoriDg its early con-
struction was adopted.
The project OF an experimental farm
on the Arlington estate was brought up.
1t was stated that Secretary Wilson, OF
the Agricultural Department, had &C
cepted about 400 acres, portion OF the
Government reservation, and that Con-
gress had provided an appropriation OF
$4,000 with which to improve and
beautify this tract. 1t was also given
out thst Secretary Wilson intended to
begin operations on the farm as soon as
the appropriation made by Congress be.
came available, on July next. Sever
al members spoke briefly of the project,
fsvoring such action by the Govern
ment as would tend to improve Alex
andria county in any way.
Animsted discussion ensued when
the committee on the Memorial Bridge
submitted it's report. Mr.. A. b. Gra-
ham, Ichsirmsn, disclosed the plane of
his committee, stating that encouraging
progress toward the construction OF the
MemorialBridge had been recently made
He indicated the method following and
the expectations of the committee re-
specting action by Congress on the
bridge PROPOSE ion. Congress is busy
we all know" said Mr.. Graham, "yet
before it adiourns we confidently expect
favorable action on the amendment t.
the Suudry Civil bill which provides an
appropriation for the Memorial Bridge" !"
The following resolution was adopted:
Whereas, it being the sense Of this
meeting that action favorable to the
construction ofthe proposed Memorial
Bridge should be urged upon Congress;
be it
Resolved, that special committee of
five members of this board is hereby au-
thorized to be appointed by the chsir,
to urge upon Congress the consideration
and early passage of the measure pro-
viding for the construction of said bridge
Prior to the adoption of the resolution
Secretary Clements addressed the meet
ing. Ho said that every Grand Atmy
post in the country had interest in the
bridge. The support OF many such
organizations had been secured by the
committee 10 charge, and that pressure
Was being exerted upon Congress from
the West to secure the passage OF the
bill,
President Lothop appointed the fol-
lowing committee: A. B. Graham, Il. a
F Fbillips, A. M. Lothrop, d. K. Trimmer
and J. E Clemens.
Augustus Davis asked the adoption of
a resolution reducing the initiation fee
to the organization. 1t was proposed to
make the fee 81 instead OF 50, as now
provided. This resolution went over,
and the meeting adjourned for the
month.

THE BOER ENJOYS.

The apparent object OF the mission on
which the Boer delegates travelled from
South Africa to the United States, was
unfolded yesterday to Secretary Hay,
who. as the officer in charge Of foreign
relations of the government, received
the delegates and listened to what they
had TO say. At the end OF an hour the
three envoys learned that their trip bad
been 10 vain 80 far as 1t concerned the
hope that the American government
would use it's influences to bring peace
to their far-off country.
The delegates made an appeal to the
United States government through Mr..
Hay to tender It's services as media
tor. Mr.. Hay's answer, which
had evidently been carefully pre-
pared iu advance, was an ex-
planation of the circumstances sur
rounding the previous attempt OF
the government to end hostilities
and the reasons which forced 1t to now
reluctantly decline to again take the
initiative in the matter. The delegates
did not present to the Secretary OF Stat'
sny credentials from the Boer republics.
Whether they will do 30 remains to De
seen.
From what is said by those close TO
the delegation, it is probable that Mr..
Fischer and his colleagues will devote
the rest OF their stay in America to hold
ING mass meetings for the purpose OF
creating sympathy and raising money
for the cause of their people.
The interview between Mr.. Hay and
the delegates lasted just an hour.
shortly after the delegates departed MIR.
Hsy. after consultation with the Presi-
dent. gave out q statement announcing
that In view of Great Britain's reply to
our tender OF good offices, made last
March. nothing further can be done.
Mr. Hsy announced that the United
States will persist in policy OF impair
tial neutrality, and declared that any
ether course would lead to conse-
ouences wbich neither the President nor
the people can regard with favor. Inc
epyoys were reticent after the interview
at the State Department.
Lord Pauncefots, the British Amoss.
ssdor, called at the State Department
while the Beers were consulting Will
Secretary Hay. He wanted to know
what the reply to taem would be. AS
soon as the envoys left Secretary Hays
room the Ambassador was admitted snd
! had confeIence with the Secretary.

An Ancient Belief.

The ancients believed that rheuma-
tlsm was the work of demon within a
man. Any one who has had an attack
of scatic or iDhsmstory rheumatism will
agree that the iofictioD Is demoniac
enough to warrant the belief. 1t has
never been claimed that Chamberlsin's
Pain Balm would cast out demons, but
IL will cure rheumatism, and hundreds
bear testimony to the truth OF this
statement. One application relieves the

She then wrote Rose this letter:
Your contemptuous influence overpow-
cred me. All. but no more Then 1 was
tool in your hands. Like wet clay you
nodded me into a ball as large as you
liked. After a time l hardened, and now
have rolled away. l married you; that
you have made 1t your business to let
everybody know. But how? By your
sneaky underhand threats. L was cow
ard then, taught by you to believe your
threats. Now l am q brave girl, ready
to defend myself against you, and l
shall. No power on earth can force me
to live with you. Think, is q boy like
you worthy of any girls respect? Not
love, no, by no means. You have been
but rock in my path in days gone by.
L have passed You now, and you will al
ways be thing of the past. Never can
you share my future.
The marriage was performed on Oct.
IL. Mrs. Rose has not seen her husband
since that date.
DR.. Cook, acting as Mrs. Roses guar
dian, instituted proceedings to have the
marriage annulfed on the ground that
the consent of Miss Cook was obtained
under fraud and force.
Rose made reply denying the allega-
tons Of his wife, but when the case came
up for trial he did not put in an appear
ance.
Judgment was rendered in Mrs Rose
favor. She had restored to her her mai
den name and status.
Miss Cook is now with her uncle in
Brooklyn, while Rose is supposed to have
returned to his country hcme.
81 believe" said Lawyer George Rob
inson, of No. 80 Nassau street, who act
ed for Miss Cook, chat Rose is now
more madly III love with Miss Cook than
ever. 1t would not be safe for her to
return to her home in Calhcoon."
