MEMORIAL DAY
Governor Stanley Issue an Eloquent
Proclamation

Topeka, May 14.--Governor Stanley
has issued proclamation calling up
on the people of the State to fifty OBJ
serve Memorial day, May 30. The
proclamation follows:
Before the present generation was
born, nearly three millions of men en-
listed as soldiers and sailors for the
maintenance of popular free govern
ment and the defense of American in
stitutions. The majority of this grand
army have passed away and are rest
ing in honored graves allover thel land.
During the present generation, an
other army, inspired by the deeds Of
the veterans of the civil war, enlisted
from the ranks of our common citizen
ship in q war against foreign coun-
try to maintain the nations honor.
1.-The thirtieth day of May, of each
year, has been designated as a suita-
BILE time for the people to refrain
from secular pursuits, to decorate the
graves of the soldiers and sailors of
the civil and Spanish-American wars,
recount their deeds and commemorate
their valor. Nothing that man can
say or do will extol the heroism or ex
alt the deeds of the men who came
thronging from farm and school room
and workshop to maintain the national
integrity, but we may review their acts
for the purpose ofinspiring in thelives
of the young ideas ofpatriotism.
"The sacrifice of the Union soldiers
made liberty dear and the bloody bap-
tism of the civil war washed the ma
tion's affairs clean. There will be more
soldiers graves in Kansas to be deco
rated on the coming Memorial day
than ever before and every grave
ought to be a shrine TO which the lib
erty loving people of the State will
bring the offerings of their love and
pledge anew their devotion to Ameri-
can institutions, when they remember
all they cost.
IL most earnestly request that prop
er services be held in all the public
institutions of the State, that the chill
dren of the public schools unite with
the remaining veterans in proper OBJ
servance of the day, and that a CRATE
full people mingle the incense of their
devotion with the fragrance of flowers
in commemoration of the occasion"

as mosquitoes do in their flight, death came as if from the glances of eyes which ever hid in invisible bodies. It was as if the soldiers were slain by some materialized portion of the light of the sun, which permeates the at mosphere and is not distinguishable from it. Suddenly as the armies marched upon a prairie on which a tiny deer could be detected miles away, there came the ominous crackle as of frying fat, the faint high keyed song, of the bullets, and-the tumbling of the dead and wounded. Thus battle began. The British lay as flat upon mother earth as they could stretch themselves, and f1red-what at? At some bushes, at some rocks, at a ridge of ground, at whatever seemed a likely lurking place for an enemy, which might have been recruited from the gnomes or the shades of the dead which might have been composed of the rays of Roentgen light, or the bodiless, unseen currents of the wire less telegraph.
 "Who is this riding toward us "a Boer?" 'If you can see him, he is no Boer," was sure to be the reply of any man with our army. Spare the soli- tary horseman on the skyline. He is bound to be a Britisher," are words which Rudyard Kipling wrote among his ''Kopje-book maxims" in 'The Friend,' a newspaper which we shall presently describe.
 Just before one battle the British saw band of Boers who showed them selves on the veldt as a decoy-and be- cause they saw them, they would not believe that they were Boers. They fought as a rule, behind the rocks on the kopies, in little one-man fortresses of stone, in indistinguishable trenches in the grassland, in nullahs, spruits and river-b beds and behind garden walls. When they ran they descended the farther sides of the great rifts in the earth which abound on the veldt, and which swallowed them out of sight, and gave them instability for miles.
 This was the chief and most awful peculiarity of that war. The British dealt with a demonish, unsubstantial enemy. They shot without targets, while exposing themselves in the bold est bulk and outline always. They were slain by men they could not see, firing bullets whose source they could only guess at roughly The summons to nearly every battle was a volley as unexpected and mysterious as if the air had exploded in front and shot its hardened particles into the ranks It was all too uncanny It worked upon the nerves. It kept the men under such a strain as no armies have ever suffered elsewhere or before.
 It may console the British to know that they have had an experience and training which leaves the rest of the | armies of Europe green and ignorant | beside them. It may give them right | full pride to think that they have | what no other fighting men | have known.

INVISIBLE FOE.

1 He's Pretty Trying to the Nerves. | The most formidable, awesome, soul and mind straining feature of the | war was the enemy's invisibility.
 Some one else could attempt to do
 justice to this-some one with greater skill at word-painting, with richer
 gift of illustration and genius for choosing similes; some one, if such there be, who unites the poetic with the practical, and who could render the emotions of the souls and minds of the English soldiery, while picturing the outward features of the weird, one sided fields of combat.
 saw many men all but crazed by
 their inability to discern the Boers who
 were pelting them with lead-made
 mad by the inequality and unfairness
 of the fighting, stirred to rush like
 maniacs or devils straight at the hid
 den enemy, regardless of death, and
 bent only upon forcing their assailants
 out from cover. l saw one man-too
 imaginative to endure the amending
 tension of this uncanny relation be-
 tween himself and the Boers-who was
 wrecked physically after his nervous system had already broken down. Give a man a rifle in battle and his nervousness will disappear" is an old saying, but he altered it to give me sight of a Boer to shoot at, or I shall go nad!"
 Fancy, if you can, what it must have meant to an army to go on and on
 fighting nothing-nothing visible, noth- ing substantial, nothing to aim at-and yet a nothing that spat Mauser balls, a nothing that slew with explosive bull lets and sharpnel and common shell! Fancy the feeling of the 5000 men of Methuens force lying for twelve hours under a galling, deadly fire at Modder River, and never seeing Boer or knowing where the Boers were! It was as if they were always shooting over the curve of the earth.
 We shudder at the awful trap and surprise set for the Highlanders when at Magersfontein, the black darkness of the last minutes of stormy night | vomited death messages which slew them as the sickle stays grass, but, after all this was but a slight ', exaggeration of the usual condition of all the battles on the veldt. There was daylight in other engagements, but it | very seldom exposed the enemy-the stealthy hunter who went to war upon his human foes precisely as he and his ancestors had for centuries preyed | upon the wild game of the land
 When therefore we compare such l warfare with fighting vapor or an essence the comparison is just one. But for the fact that the bullets sang
