 As matter of fact, Decatur Is splen- didly located. It has everything to make 1t city of consequence. It was set back after the boom, which began in 1887 and

 Follows The Remains Of Rear

Washington, May 9-With a pomp and circumstance exceeding that of any naval funeral in this country, in recent years at least the remains of the late William Thomas Sampson, rcsr admiral in the United States navy and commander-in- chief of the United States naval forces On the north Atlantic station during the war with Spain, were today laid at rest. Every department of the national gov ernment was Iepresented-the executive by the President and his cabinet and many prominent officials of the civil service, the legislative by Senators and Representatives, the judiclary by the United States Supreme Court and the military and naval services by officers of all ranks.
 The diplomatic body. accompanied in many cases by their ladies. attended the church services. The military and naval features of the service were brilliant and impressive. Tley were conducted under dir ection of Rear Admiral Terry, com mandapt of the Washington navy yard. arFisted by Lieutenant Henry George, the adjutant general.
 The Funeral Escort.
 The funeral escort gathered early. It was composed of the light battery of the United States artillery, commanded by Captain Foote and drawn from Fort Meyer, the naval cadets from Annapolis PAT strong a corps that never had parad- ed in Washington before except on special occasions when a President was to be inaugurated; a battalion of blue jackets from the North Atlantic squad ron, of which Admiral Sampson formerly was commander.
 Rear Admiral Torey, commanding the escort, with his staff, assembled at the church at half-past nine. The word of command was given, and the cadets swung into line, and headed by the Naval Academy Band. marched slowly from the church to the residence of the dead ad- miral on New Hampshire avenue, a half mile away. Here the honorary ballbear- CTS were gathered, headed by Admiral Dewey. The remains, borne on the shoul- ders of eight stalwart sailors from the United States ship Dolphin, were placed In the waiting hearse and escorted to the church. Here the battalion formed In line on the north and silently saluted as the remains were carried into the church and placed on the bier In the chancel.

The Supreme Court sat next and behind them the select com mittees from the Senate and House of Representatives and then many individual Senators and Representatives.

There were also Major General Corbin and the bu- reau chiefs of the war department A notable figure was General Longstreet of the Confederate army. The funeral was very simple but deeply impressive.
 Those Who Were Present.
 The President arrived at church almost simultaneously with the head of the fu-
 
 Secretary Cortelyou and Captain Cowles, his bro her in-law. The Supreme Court had meanwhile been seated. In the fu- neral escort whlcn preceded the body into the church were Admiral Watson and Admiral Walker and many notable chiefs. The war captains were in full uniform and wore black sword knots of crepe. After the services in the church the body followed by the family of the deceased, the President of the United States and his cabinet the diplom attic body and nTany notable personages was carried out of the church and placed In hearse.
 As the Auueduct bridge was CT ossed on the way to Arlington the guns of the Preside nts yacht Sylph boomed out a funeral salute of minute guns
 The burial ceremonies were simple. At their ctrc'rsion the saluting battery of the Fourth artillery, stationed outside the gates, boomed three salutes. AS the remains were lowered into the grave the marine hs nd played Safe Tn the Arms of Jesus and then followed the sounding of taps" by a bugler stationed at the head of the open grave. The President and his cabinet did not go to Arlington.

DAILY BLOWS.
Brought on Appendicitis

IL a person will continue to put
little poison in the body each day, for
instance, like cup of coffee each
morning, when coffee acts as poison,
and it frequently does, the result will
be an attack some day in some of the
organs of the body. The little disturb
ances each day pile up and finally be-
come big disturbance.
Many cases of appendicitis have been
brought on by coffe- drinking. 1t first
affects the nerves of the stomach, and
the disorder travels on down thru the
bowels and results in some kind of
bowel trouble, frequently appendicitis.
lady in Fredonia, N. Y, says:
During my school life, both as stu
dent and teacher drank coffee regu-
larly Most of the time knew the
coffee was injuring me, but did not feel
like giving it up. First my nerves felt
the effect and later on constipation de-
yeloped, and after that, the last year
1 had a severe attack of appendicitis.
NV doctor and friends all agreed that
these troubles were largely caused by
coffee drinking.
while / was i'll some Postum was
sent me by friends. supposed it was
but when the difference was explained,
and 1 drank as much as 1 cared for.
with such good results, concluded Pos
tum was just what I wanted and have
used it ever since. 1t greatly aids di-
gestion, is nourishing and refreshing.
MY food and nourishment while
getting we'll from appendicitis were
Postum and Grape Nuts.
IF had known of Postum years ago
/ might have been saved tremendous
amount of suffering brought on by
coffee drinking.
REV. is one of my converts to
Postum. He suffered greatly from
dyspepsia, but has entirely recovered
since he quit coffee and began using
Postum.
"Dr. , who suffered long while
from nervous troubles says Postum
brought him out when he quit coffee,
and he constantly urges it Oh his pa
tents who are coffee drinkers"

War Veterans Recall Old Times on
Fortieth Anniversary of Civil War
War Battle.
Col. Elliott Shurtz and Col. T. D. Nc
Elroy met yesterday morning down
town, and by intuition grasped each
others hands with all the earnestness
possible. Each knew the others
thoughts and each waited for the other
to speak.
do you remember where you We're
forty years ago today?" asked Col.
Shurtz
Col McElroy replied that he did and
asked his veteran commander if he
couldn't still hear that drum. Col.
Shurtz said the deep roll of the old
snare was just as plain to him as 1t
sounded forty years ago that morning,
when he ordered Tommy" McElroy,
the drummer boy of Shiloh" to sound
the long roll and awaken the sleeping
soldiers to duty on that memorable
morning that marked the beginning of
one of the fiercest struggles of the re-
bellion.
Shiloh was fought on April and Z,
1862, forty years ago yesterday and to-
day. Elliott Shurtz, then q lieutenant
of Company H, Thirteenth Iowa, that
went from this city, was officer of the
day and on the morning of the 9Th
Sunday morning too-had his men
awakened by ordering Mr.. McElroy,
then lad of II, to sound the long
roll" 1t was the first alarm that sent
the soldiers into action. Col. Shurtz
got thru the first day without accident,
but on the second was badly wounded,
being shot thru the lungs and in one
arm. He was carried from the field
with the expectation that he could not
live until the ambulance could arrive
at the rear, but forty years afterwards
is able to recall the old days with
pleasure. For his bravery on the bat
tlefeld of Shiloh Lieut.. Shurtz, after
his recovery, was commissioned colonel
of the Eight Iowa cavalry.
