Memorial Day.
Memorial Day was observed here

Memorial Day was observed here as
is the custom. This year, however, a
committee of citizens arranged the pro-
ceedings, relieving the old soldiers Of a
work which really belonged to other
patriotic people.
During the forenoon the business
houses and the streets were decorated
with national colors. At / p. m, the
procession formed and marched to the
Presbyterian church where the large
audience listined to devotional exercises,
patriotic music and a short address by
President Nash and an address by
County Attorney Fred FL. Blume.
Mr.. Blume's address was original in
construction, was carefully prepared
and was delivered with his usual earn
estness aud vigor. 1t showed the work
of a studer' of national affairs and prob
lens and was philosophic in thought
and patriotic in tendency, BETTING the
occasion. 1t treated largely of the
problems of the day, the negro question
in the south, the trust question, the in
huence Of the war on the character OF
our national government, and similar
themes. Mr.. Blume added to his rspu-
tation as thoughtful and able speaker.
The procession marched to the ceme-
terry keeping step to appropriate band
music. About sixty veterans were in
line, as many or more flower girls in
charge of Mrs. OFT we're in the pro-
cession. The bands, w. r. @. in backs,
the tiremen, the city officers and,
string OF carriages completed the pro-
cession.
A hollow square was formed about
the monument to the unknown dead and
the ritual exercises Of the Grand Army
were given by the comrades. Prof.
Hooker read Cartons poem, "Cover
them over with beautiful flowers" and
Rev. Littleton. in splendid voice, deliv.
cred an appropriate short address.
The graves of the departed comrades
who are buried there were decorated
with flowers, Comrade H. W. Wilson
and Commander Martin Smith directing.
This ended the exercises of another day
devoted to the memory of those who
offered their lives in defense OF the
sacred principles of liberty and the
Union.

John p. Brotherton, who is visiting
with his friend, Joshua Jordan, of Cam
eron township, marched with the veter-
ans last Friday at the Memorial service.
He was in the battle of Manila and 10
totally blind in consequence therefrom.
lie was stoker on board the ship Con-
cord which was in the thick of the fight.
At such times the heat becomes intense
below, rising to l60 degrees Fahren-
heit. The intense heat SO affected Mr..
Brotherton that he came near dying at :.
ter the battle and finally lost his eye
sig hit entirely. For the past year or two
he has been at hospital in Baltimore.
He is now accompanied by an atten dan t
and is well cared for by the government,
as 1t pays him pension Of $50 per
month.
Mr.. Brotherton and Joshua Jordan
were together seven years in the navy.
Thus they became fast friends. Mr..
Brotherton visited here just previous to
the Spanish war. He was then an ad.
mirable specimen Of manhood. He re.
tains his fine bearing and appearance.
The blank expression in his sightless
eyes and his careful step and wish to
lean on the arm OF another draw the at
tention and sympathy Of the beholder.
He is another example Of the price
America is paying in the great cause of
humanity and civilization.

MORE GRoCERs FINED FOR SELLING ALUM
BAKING POWDERS.
The st. Louis papers report several
more grocers brought to trial upon the
charge OF selling baking powders con
tanning alum in violation OF the law
The parties we're all convicted aud each
fined 500.
Several baking powders which have
been found by analysis TO contain alum
have been offered in this market. They
are called X. @, CALUMET. CAMEO,
ECONOMY, CROWN.
In many places similar powders are
offered for sale at from ten to twenty
cents pound.
Good baking powder is one Of the
most useful things in the kitchen.
There are several good powders on the
market; housekeepers will help the su-
thorities in their efforts to promote the
sale OF pure and wholesome food. il when
buying baking powder they will insist
on having some one of the we'll known
brands OF cream OF tartar powders,
which are pure and healthful beyond q
doubt.
