To the Editor Of the SENTINEL:

To the Editor OF the SENTINEL:
The celebration Of the Fourth Of July in
Eureka Is an assured fact. The people
generally have manifested a real interest in
having a first-class celebration. They have
done this both by their gifts and willing
ness to aid in whatever way they can to
make it q success. That IL will be a grand
success may be inferred by reading the pro-
gramme found in this issue Of the SENTINEL.
The Committee in their work Of soliciting
funds have never found a more willing
people, according to their means, and the
work has been q pleasure instead Of a drudg.
cry, and it now remains for the various
committees, who have the work Of carrying
out the programme, to be faithful to the
end and all viii be rewarded by a day Of
enjoyment and by knowing that others
have had a good time and that our efforts
have been crowned with abundant success.
BY glancing over the programme you will
see that it must be a very busy day and
that prompt action will be necessary in
order to carry out the programme. The
Committee on Programme found difficulty
in arranging time for all that came before
them and the baseball game was unavoid-
ably crowded out for lack Of time. 1t has
been suggested that this game come of on
the afternoon of the Sd Of July, which may
yet be arranged.
The grand parade at 9 o'clock in the
morning is in the hands Of the Committee
on Parade and they will invite all the socie-
ties of the town as well as the school chill.
drsn and citizens, to join in the parade.
They will also arrange for the Goddess of
Liberty with her Maids of Homer and the
Car of State, If they decide to have a Car
of State, and also the "Horribles" and
Iseverything which goes to make up a grand
parade.
The patriotic exercises at the Opera
House at 10 o'clock promise to be of unusual
interest and no doubt all will enjoy them
and be made better citizens after hearing
them. 1t will be remembered that Judge
Fitzgerald was chosen as Orator Of the Day
at the first meeting held last week. Since
then he has learned of the fact that he will
be detained at Austin longer than be ex-
pected and it is exceedingly regretful that
he cannot be in Eureka on the Fourth, to
celebrate with his neighbors. But after
much urging, Attorney Breen kindly con-
sented to serve his country on that day, by
delivering the Grafton and will doubtless
do the subject ample justice. 1t will be a
great pleasure to listen to the most memoir
able document in the United States, read,
or recited by Mrs. H. A. Knight. The
music by the Choir and the Band will be
excellent and inspiring.
1t is useless to say anything concerning
| the amusements in the afternoon,
ing at l o'clock, as all can read them, as
given in the programme.
The fireworks in the evening will be en-
joyed by young and old, and for the limited
amount of money to be used, will be fine.
They were carefully selected and furnished
at wholesale price which at retail would
cost about $3.50.
We are satisfied that when the Fourth of
July is over everybody will be glad that
we had a celebration in Eureka.
