Memorial Day Celebration.

Memorial day was observed by the
citizens of Sedgwick county, assisted
by many of the citizens of Deuel. cOun-
ty. in the usual and appropriate man
ner. The exercises were in charge of
John a. Logan Post, G. A. r., of Jules
burg, and a fair da. lent its aid toward
making them success.
AT 10 O'Clock in the morning com
mlttee of old soldiers. accompanied by
many others, drove to the cemetery
where the graves of deceased comrades
were suitably decorated with flowers.
Returning to town the veterans, their
families and a few invited guests as
semDled in the court room where ii
bounteous dinner was served. More
than Il hundred people partook of the
feast, which was not concluded until
nearly , o'clock.
The exercises at the Congregational
church began Immediately after din
ner-at = o'clock. They consisted of u
choice selection of patriotic songs and
and in address by Rev. E. r. Earle of
Sidney. Mr.. Earle's address was his
torical in character. 1t began with
the discovery OF America and closed
with the great civil war of 1861 80.
The object Of the speaker seemed to
be TO SHOW the reason for the Observ-
ance of memorial day. In doing this
lie followed the history of the country
from the time of the landing of the
iirst white man to the time when Sc
cesSIon threatened to overthrow it.
That the nation was saved from dis
ruption was due to the patriotic action
OF those men III whose honor the day
was being observed.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Earle's ad-
dress Captain w. ). Bah announced
that camp tire would be held in the
church to which all were invited.
Many people remained and this was
probably the most interesting part of
the afternoons program. Many irter-
eSting rccollections were told by old
veterans, and more than an hour was
pleasantly spent in this way. After.

A Curious Induatry That Hna Come

End of the Line of Presidents whe

End of the Line of Presidents whe
Lived in War Times.
Mr.. Mckinley was probably the las,
of the Presidents whom the country
will have who served in the civil war.
Theodore Roosevelt was only three
years old in the early days of the war.
True, he is younger than any other
President whom the country has had.
The chances are, however, that the
chief magistrates hereafter will belong
to later generation of men than did
those who controlled the nations des-
TIMES from Lincoln's day onward to
those of Mckinley. All this list of
elected Presidents served in the army
during the war except Mr.. Cleveland.
When Martin Van Buren was elected,
two-thirds of a century ago, the coun-
try realized that a new epoch in the
nations history had been reached. He
was the first of the presidents who was
born after the close of the war OF inde
pendence. All his predecessors, even
Jackson, the man who was in office di-
rectly before him, had either partici-
pated in the war or We're old enough
to remember its passions and to be in
fiuenced. in some degree. at least, by
the passions which it generated. Van
Buren, was born in the last month OF
1872. just after the preliminary treaty
was signed by which George III. recog-
niZed the independence of his late col
onies.
In the present instance also a new
land mark in the nations history has
been reached. 1t is now over SO years
since Lees veterans stacked arms for
the last time. Forty years will have
passed from that date by the time the
next President is inaugurated. Not
many men in the army at the close of
1865 We're below % or % years of age.
Few of them who will be alive in 1905
will be under 65 years of age. and that
mark is pretty close to the dead line
in Presidential ambition. Only three
Presidents have been as old as 65 at
the time of their inauguration-Wil- Ill
liam Henry Harris IN, Taylor and Bu-
chanan-and the last named was the
only one of them who lived through
his term. The chances are that the
country has seen in the Presidential
office the last of the men who fought
in the civil war. The present President
belongs to a later generation. and 1t
is Likely that all of his successors will.
A new page in the nations history has
been turned.
