MEMORIAL DAY.
Address by Judge Severance
Wednesday Afternoon.
Impressive Exercises at Glenw00d
Cemetery In Memory of the Dead
Heroes of the Civil War.

AS a change from the usual order Of
things, Memorial day passed without
any rain falling or any threatening
clouds bringing anxiety upon those
listening to the exercises. The day wa!
beautiful one, with clear sky
and cool northwest breeze, yet the
sun has shone with seasonable warmth
The exercises of the day have haG
variations from the customary pro
ceedings. There has been no parade Of
school children, and the exercises have
not taken place in the center of the
city. at some point that could be readily
reach on foot by most of our citizens
without trouble or expense. Whether
the latter change is an improvement
can be left to those who managed tc
get out to the cemetery, Another
novelty was the holding of the exercises
in the afternoon. instead of in the COO
part of the day.
Wilkin post, G.. A. R., and the veter'
ans of the Spanish war, all arrayed in
their neat blue uniforms, and accom-
panied by the members of the w. R. c..
set out for Glenwood cemetery at 1:3C
o'clock, to music by the drum corps and
with banners futtering. A number OF
people in carriages and some on foot
also went to the cemetery. The day
was generally observed as a holiday in
the afternoon, and many places of bust.
ness were closed.
At the cemetery an impressive pro,
gram was carried out. The G. A. R.
ritualistic service was performed, sew
eral musical numbers were given, and
recitation or so. The principal fea
ture of the exercises, however, was an
address by Judge M. J. Severance. The
Judge is always good, and his hearers
were not disappointed that afternoon.

from the time the timber was picked
up until the thing was oyer and the

as he could pull the trigger. Keene had
to pull back the hammer for each shot.
Nobody expected that there would be
a shot fired before the shooting began.
After the shooting, Pau came to me
and said that he had no idea that any
body would shoot in case of that
kind. Pau and I were across the stick
from Lobdell and south of the entrance,
before the shooting. We could not see

we stood. I did not see the men pick
