MEMORIAL DAY EXERCISES
A Tribute of EulOgy and Flowers and
Loving Remembrance Paid to
the Soldier Dead

Practically the entire population of
the city of lola oined "wednesday in
the Memorial exercises, and a goodly
number of people drove in from the
country and participated. The streets
were aflutter with flags and banners
and the sidewalks and the park
thronged with people.
The program advertised was car
ried out to the letter. Those who had
flowers took them to the q. A. II. hall
where bouquets were made up and at
. o'clock when the procession started
for the cemetery there was a line of
flower carriers which stretched from
the park to the Santa Fe depot. The
band led the way playing funeral
dirge and behind them came the old
soldiers, the young soldiers, the ".
r., G f., the lodges and the Normal
students, school children aud citizens.
The salute above the graves was fired
and the flowers laid tenderly upon
the mounds beneath which lay the

America, by the Audience.

Mr.. Dunsmore is an old soldier and
he made a good, wholesome, brave
speech in which he gave the palm to
those who do aud dare. All the best
that the world holds should fall to
the man who attempts something
which shall be of benefit to others,
and the fact that many of those who
attempt must fail should not take
away from the praise bestowed by
posterity. The soldiers of 1861 went
in front of the enemy to save dis
rupted country, having a full and
certain knowledge that many Of them
would never live to enjoy the fruits of
their deeds. To those who survived
all honor is due, but to the thousands
who fell an especial remembrance of
love is meet and to the people whu
live to enjoy the fruits OF their sac
riice belongs the pleasant task of
handing from generation to genera
ton the sense of thus duty. Mr.. Duns-
more was in good voice and his we'll
rounded sentences brought frequent
applause from his hearers.

MAKING EYES At THE "OLD MAN
Full of the Light OF n Treaty of Com
merce, to Bind an 'Alli-
ance of Ideas"

Paris, July 6.-Reccnt references in
the Paris papers TO the late Franco
American demonstrations of friendship
have clearly shown that an alliance
between the republics is seriously con-
sidered. The Figaro is the latest jour-
nal TO take up the idea. 1t suggests,
in an important leading article, that
the bonds between the two countries
be drawn still closer than they are at
present by means of a treaty of COM
merce. After pointing out that Amer
lean sympathy for France was much
weakened by the Mexican war and by
the attitude of the imperial govern
ment during the war of the rebellion
the writer says that the situation has
been much improved for some time
past, as is evidenced by the warm eX-
preSsions of friendship ut the unNAil-
ing of the Washington and Lafayette
monuments.
Sees An Alliance of Ideas.
Here then" he eNclaims, lis q
new alliance. based not on written
treaties. but on n community of SYM
pathieS; not on the eventualitieS of a
war to be faced i'll common against a
third power. but on movement of
ideas whence has arisen confidence be-
is then made to the alleged announce
ment of Chamberlain, British secre-
tary of state for the colonies. of po-
litical alliance. The article then con-
cludeS: do not let us fall into the
same errors of appreciation and judg-
ment as have the English.
We VIII BE IA Sister to La Belle.
''All we are able to obtain from the
United States is disposition on the
part of the government and people to
consider the French republic sister
republic, whose colonial interests in the
Atlantic and Pacific ought never to be
looked upon with prejudice, and whose
intellectual influence will be received
henceforth with more favor than jeal-
ousy. The community of institutions
between the two countries has been an
important and durable factor in their
upward progress. and the results OBJ
tanned, which will be much greater if
sanctioned by n solid treaty of COM
merce."
