MEMORIAL DAY.

Memorial Day was observed in
Yorkville last Thursday, as usual,
under the auspices of the Ladies' Me-
mortal ASSOCIATE on, the citizens of the
town generally participating to a
larger extent than on any previous
similar occasion for several years past.
The exercises were commenced in
the court house and completed at the
Gem eteries. The ladies had previously
decorated the court room with flowers
and flags, including the United States
stan dard and Confederate battle flags.
They had also marked the grave of
each Confederate soldier with a bat
tie flag. Mr.. ]. S. Brice presided,
and the assembling having been COM
pleted with the arrival of the Jasper
Light Infantry, he introduced Rev.
]. M. Steadman, who offered up
singularly appropriate prayer. Then
Mr.. Brice introduced Mr.. w. B. de
Loach, who had been selected by the
ladies to deliver the address of the oc-.
casion.
Mr.. de Loach was received with
generous applause, and his address,
though quite short, was in exceedingly
20 cd taste. He began by thanking
the ladies for the honor that they
had conferred upon him personally.
Then he commended the ladies for
their noble work in keeping fresh the
memory of the Confederate soldier.
He paid beautiful tribute to the
Confederate soldiers valor and patri-
otism in cause that though lost is
still just, and predicted most earnestly
that the people of the south will re-
main faithful to those who had sacri-
feed so much until history accorded to
them that which is theirs. In con-
clusion he turned to the veteran con-
tingent on the left, spoke to the living
as he had spoken of the dead, and
called upon them to witness there the
love an affection in which their MEM
ory would always be held. The
speaker was several times applauded
during the short address, and accorded
another round of hearty approval at
its conclusion.
After the address of Mr.. de Loach,
Mr.. Brice read the roll of the soldier
dead buried in the cemeteries as fol-
lous.

New York, March IA special to
the Herald from Washington says: All
attempts to unite the republicans of the

not inclined to yield the management of

senators is to have the pending bill
amended by cutting the tariff feature
entirely loose from the general govern

THE BUBONIC PLAGUE
One Hundred Volunteers Called For
lnSan Francisco to Disinfect the
Chinese Quarter.
A GENUINE CASE OF THE PEST
The Ohinaman Who Died Few DAYS Ago
Had the Plague Sure Enough-All
the Inoculated Animals Have
Died.

/ San Francisco, March l2.-At meet
Ing OF the board of health, DR. Kinyoun,
the federal quarantine officer, reported
that all the animals which were inocu.
! lated with virus from the body of the
Chinese who expired a few days ago
under suspicious circumstances, had
died. The autopsy of the guinea pigs
showed symptoms of genuine bubonic
plague. The board decided that the
Chinese who died had been afflicted with
the plague. A request was made for1O0
volunteer doctors to make house to
house examination to aid the board in
thoroughly disinfecting the entire Chi
nese quarter.
COLORADO PREPARED.
Denver, March l2.-Dr. G. Tyler, Sec
retary of the Colorado state board of
health, received notice of the outbreak
OF the bubonc plague at Fort Townsend
and Tacoma, Washington. DR.. TYLER
said: THE plague is something enairely
new in this country and there are few
physicians who have had experience
with It, Hence we know little about it
and cannot say whether or not It could
affect people in high attitudes. But the
state board will take no chances on such
terrible disease and its action will be
in keeping with the serious danger
which will threaten US in case the plague
gains foothold A great danger lies
In the shipment of bodies and our very
first RUE Is to prohibit absolutely the
moving of bodies of those who die of the
plague. Undertakers and railroads are
held responsible and for the present the
safe guards provided, think, are sufii-
cient."

STILL MORE TESTIMONY.
The Oouer d'Alene Investigation Is Still
Dragging Along.

Washington, March 12.-L. j. 'Simp
kins, electrical engineer at Wardner
Idaho, testified in the Couer d'Alene In
vestigation today. He said he did not
participate in the riot but soon after he
was arrested by the United States
troops who went about the streets ar
resting persons pointed out by Bunker
Hill mine spoilers" He detailed the
outrages he alleged had been committed
by the soldiers. He said he was taken
from the Bull Pen by-a squad of four
soldiers and marched to an open en-
closure where he was placed with his
back against the building. The SOL
diers cooked their guns apparently
making ready to shoot him. At this
point high official OF the Bunker Hill
mine appeared and said that they had
evidence enough to hang the witness or
send him up for many years but If he
would tell who blew up the mill he
would be turned loose. Simpkins pro
tested that he did not know who the
guilty parties were and the efforts to
get evidence from him was finally given
up. The witness stated that at another
time while he was at the Bull pen he
was offered $4,000 to implicate two
persons in blowing up the mill. One
was the county assessor.
