LINCOLN, Neb., Sept 1S.-Memorial
SCI vices for the dead president were held
at the Lindell auditorium, into which
oVef 1900 people crowded while nearly
as many more clamored for admission.
overflow meetings were held at two
near by churches, and practically the
whole of the afternoon was occupied in
the exercises. There was almost an en-
tire cessation of business throughout the
day
The auditorium services consisted of
music, prayer and eulogies, Gov. Saw
age presided, speaking briefly, and was
followed in turn by Rev. Fletcher Whar-
ton, G. NJ. Lambertson, H. NJ. Bushnell.
Rev. Lewis Marsh. Chancellor E Ben
jamin Andrews, Congressman Strobe
and W. j. Bryan. Mr. Bryan said i'm
part:
AS monuments reared by grateful
hands to the memory of heroes testify
to the virtues of the living as we'll as
to the services of the dead so the sor-
row that has overwhelmed our nation.
obhteratlng the distinctions of party race
and religion, is as complimentary to the
patriotism of our people as to our de-
parted chief magistrate. But it is not
strange that the people bow as one man
over the bier of the illustrious fellow
citizen-not strange that the solemn still
ress is broken only by the chant of the
not strange that all hearts turn in SYM
pathy to the husbandless home at Can
ton
The presidents position made him a
part of the life of all his countrymen,
ana the circumstances which attended
his taking off added indignation to grief
= indignation that even one murderous
heart could be found in all the land, and
grief that the wicked purpose of that
heart should have been consummated
against one so gentle in spirit and so
kind in word and deed
his is neither the time nor the place
for discussion of remedies for anarchy.
1t can have no defenders in the United
States. Government is a necessity, and
the delusion that society can exist with
out is harmful, even when no violence
is advocated, for it is the duty of every
citizen of republic to strive to make
his government perfect in every detail
and this purpose is not only weakened,
but entirely destroyed by the doctrine
that all governments are bad and should
be overthrown''
Mr.. Bryan said no one appreciated
more than himself the private character
and public services and virtue of Will
liam Mckinley. He concluded as fol-
lows:
1T is unfortunate that in the heat of
political controversy craftsmanship some
times becomes so strong as to cause in
justice to be done the motives of political
opponents, and it should be our constant
aim to place our campaign upon so high
a plane that personalities will be elimin-
ated and the issues made to turn on the
principles involved.
Let us hope that this national Attic
ton which unites all factions in a COM
mon sorrow will result in a broader
charity and more lovable spirit among
those, who. by different policies and
through different parties. seek to pro-
mote the welfare and increase the glory
of our common country"

The recklessness with which fire arms

alarming. Only last week. a boy reck-
lessly shooting with a 3S calibre rifle
shot into residence, narrowly missing

have heard shot rattling on the roofs or
against the walls Of their houses and
MANNED cattle and other stock are too
frequently found for the peace OF mind
OF the suburban farmers. boy when
he goes cunning, shoots al whatever
bird or other game he sees. That any
thing else may be In range Of bis gun
does not occur to him. Young boys are
more or less irresponsible creatures, but
their lack Of judgment is supposed TO
be supplemented in some degree by
those who have authority over .hem.
II is the height OF criminal folly to turn
an irresponsible person loose on the
community with deadly weapon 10 his
hands. A gun is not a good plaything
for child and is not made for that
purpose. Even the little air guns have
harming power enough to main men

Our business men aud clerks say that
already they begin to look back on the
late closing regime as to galley slavery
days or something OF that sort. Busi
ness hours occupied their entire time so
that they had no time for recreation to
spend with their families, or even to
think their own thoughts. The time so
spent seems blank and barren to them
as though some years OF their life had
been wholly lost; dropped out bodily.
The inconvenience TO the public by early
closing is 80 small that It Is nothing in
comparison 10 the benefit which results.
