In examining some old Mesopota-

several times upon the hitherto IN
explained word 'chamuschtu. which
in any case must have had the mean

with great degree Of certainty, that
the word signifies a period of FIVE
days, and this period stands in rela-

We now employ, 1t is true that the
day of the ancient people was never
divided into twelve-day and twelve

AN IDEAL OBSERVANCE
BY COL. HUGHES POST ON SUNDAY
Grand Opera House Filled With Citi-
zens Who Participate in the I'm
pressive Service. A Splen-
did Sermon.

The Grand opera house was as usual
crowded to its fullest capacity on Sun
day morning, the occasion being the
observance of Memorial Sunday by
Col. Hughes Post No. 16S and kindred
organizations, participated in by the
churches and residents of the city. 1t
was beautiful day, and the observance
was eminently fitting to the occasion.
The stage was handsomely decorated
with flowers and bunting, and upon it
sat the local clergy and members of the
q. A. r. The services opened with the
singing of the doxology by the congre-
cation, followed with invocation by
Rev. j. w. Allen, of the Baptist church,
after which chorus choir sang beau
tlful selection entitled "Cover Them
Over With Beautiful Flowers" Capt.
+, 1. Weiser then read the general or
ders, and Rev. Eubanks, of Grace
Episcopal church, read scripture les
son. Little Miss Beard then recited q
pleasing selection, and after an anthem
by the choir Rev. DR.. M. Willetr deliv-
cred the sermon of the morning. 1t
was discourse that will long remain
in the hearts and minds of those who
listened to it, and was especially adapt
ed to the occasion. We regret that we
have not the space to reproduce it in
full. His spiritual interpretations ofthe
many battles and incidents of the war
were forceful and impressive, and he
held the closest attention of the audi
ence. Following the sermon Rev. Eu-
banks made a short prayer, and after
the singing of America" by the con-
gregation the service closed with the
benedictiOn by Rev. Allen.

"THIRD notice. Every editor has
received them. The postmaster is not
to blame. For instance there is man
named Tim Short who sent us three
notices to stop his paper, he did not
want it any longer. We wondered
what was the matter Upon investi-
cation of our subscription list we find
Tim short $3.50. He had never paid a
cent yet he had stopped his paper as
a matter of economy to us. A few
evenings since we stepped into church
and Tins melodious voice rang out In
that soul inspiring song, "Jesus paid it
AL" He might have been mistaken,
but his earnestness impressed us. The
next day we sent him receipt in fall
begging his pardon for not knowing
that he had made an assignment of his
liabilities to the Lord.-Iowa Falls
