MEMORIAL EXERCISES
In Memory of Our Late
President.
A Never-to-be-forgotten Assembly
Large Turnout of Fraternal Or
CARNATIONS Program.

The memorial exercises in memory of
our late President Mckinley, which
were held on the school house grounds
yesterday, were conducted in manner
and spirit befitting the occasion. The
programme was carried out to the
letter, and words of praise are heard
for all who contributed to the success
of the exercises. Strict attention was
paid to the eloquent and feeling re-
marks of Judge John f. Davis, U. S.
Gregory, Richard Webb, Rev. VIM
Tuson, Rev. Father Gleason, and Rev.
DR.. F. A. Morrow. All spoke in the
most impressive manner. The audi
ence could see by the way in which the
several speakers spoke that all their
utterances came from the heart. Time
forbids an extended notice in this issue,
but in our next issue we will give a
synopsis of the eloquent address of
Judge Davis.
Judge Rust, who presided, made a
touching opening address, and conduc-
ted the proceedings throughout with
characteristic ability.
The exercises were held under a
large canvas, with spacious platform
for the speakers, choir, and bands,
with seats in front to accommodate a
vast audience. All the fraternal organi-
cations turned out in body. The
mines were closed, every place of bust
ness closed doors from l to s.; many of
the business houses were draped in
mourning. Everything was done to
heighten the impressiveness of the
occasion. There must have been at
least 1000 present, all animated by the
one desire to pay homage to the
memory of the departed president.
