MEMORIAL DAY.
The National President of the w.
r. c, Sends Greeting TO
the Corps.
Again the shadow moveth
Ger the dial plate OF time. 4"

Memorial Day! The day of sad,
sweet memories-most sacred day of
all the year-the one day set aside
to cover with springs choicest bios
SONS the grassy mounds of our sol
dier dead who willingly gave their
lives that we might enjoy the bless
ings of free country They come
not back, but rest where they won
their imperishable laurels."
1t is our mission of love to perpet-
uate their memory, and, as we cover
them over with beautiful flowers,
may the perfume that arises from
these mute messengers of love and
sympathy purify our own hearts and
help us to make the lives of those
who are yet with us bright with the
sunshine of sympathy and human
kindness.
Do not forget the thousands of
brave men who sleep in unknown
and marked graves" where no bios
SONS can be placed, but let every
Corps prepare a loving tribute for
our Unknown Dead. Scatter flowers
upon the water in remberance of
those who sleep meath the oceans
wave, the billows their winding sheet.
Call the children from far and near
to assist in these sacred ceremonies,
and thus teach them that this day is
the Nations holy-day-sacred to the
memory of her fallen defenders.
when May has culled the flowers for the
summer waiting long.
And the breath OF early roses woos the
he iges into song,
Comes the throb of martial music and the
banners in the street,
And the marching OF the millions bearing
garlands fair and sweet.
It's the Sabbath of the Nation. it's the floral
feast of May.
In remembrance of our heroes we keep Me-
mortal Day."

1t is reported that the Gas Works
have overdrawn their accounts

ders to that amount, without any
money to pay them.
The greater part of this deficit, is
in the Electric Light Department,
where expensive improvements have
been made. About $4,000 of this
shortage is against the E Eectric
Light department for this year, and
81, 900 against the Gas Works.
1t is well that the move to ''excuse"

A FINE PLANT
Is the New Outfit Of The
United Telephone Co.
Many New and Desirable Inn.
prOvementS Made.
And The Latest Developments In
TeIegrdphy Adopted.

The new telephone plant in the
Watson building is fast nearing com
pletion, and is net work of wonders
to the uninitiated.
To secure power for the lines. a
handsome three horse power gas en-
gine has been put in to run dynamo.
The switch boards are the latest i'm
provements, and the best results will
be secured from them. Instead of
drop signals, electric light lanterns
or buttons, tell when a call is made,
and this goes out when the parties
are through conversing. This elec-
trio button is lighted by the person
who takes down the receiver, and
there is no turning of cranks or ring
ing of bells. Danger from cross
ing of lines, with electric light lines,
and from lightning, Is obviated, most
of the noise and confusion of others
talking, caused by induction, is OBJ
waited, there will be far less waiting
because lines are busy, there will be
far greater privacy, and other trou-
bles that now bother patrons will be
avoided.
The new plant has cost fully five
times what the old plant cost. and
in addition to all this new office
new phones will have to be put in,
and the town rewired. As there are
already 7i0 patrons and 100 applica-
tions are in, this will necessitate a
great deal of work, and it will proba-
bly, not be fully completed for a
month. Three experienced men have
been employed to do the outside .wir-
ing and changing of phones.
The plant will be as fine, but of
course not so extensive-as any in the
large cities.
Owing to the cost of these improve
ments and better service, rates will
be slightly advanced. The rates will
then as follows: Per Month.

Being lndorsed for This High Position
BY sons Of Confederate Veterans.
The Sons Of Confederate Veterans at
Fort Worth. and, who by the way, had
the biggest delegation OF the entire
association at the Dallas reunion. have
indorsed n. r. Tisdal, formerly Of this
place. for commander of the Trans
Mississippi department, election to be
held at New Orleans in May.
Mr. Tisdars name was before the
Dallas reunion for the same place and
his supporters claim that he clearly
had a majority vote, but the session
was extended into the night and some
.carelessness in voting caused the
commander to make a ruling that gave
the place to Rev. Mr.. Buckner of
Pine Bluff. Ark, who had held the po-
sitlOn for a portion Of the previous
term by appointment The indorse-
ment of Mr. Tisdal for the Trans
Mississippi department commander is
a fitting tribute to a devoted son who
has done a vast amount of work for
the cause and who in every way is
well fitted for the duties. He will have
the undivided support of the Indian
Territory vote, as he did at Dallas.
Mr. Tisdal was the first division
commander Of the Indian Territory
and his devotion to the cause has en-
deared him to the sons of the Indian
country.

ed But Not Decided Upon.
In conversation with Agent w. f.
Ryan Of the Wells-Fargo Express
company this morning, that gentleman
stated that while nothing definite as
yet had been shaped up relative to
"a new express Office, considerable
ak had been INDUCED in respecting
the location of the Office
One OF these places, Mr.. Ryae said.
was on the Santa Fo right-os way, just
east If the new main line an north
of Main street. which is about 100
feet west Of where the Office is now.
This location. Mr. Ryan said, would
probably do, if the Santa Fe people
would stop their train at the proper
place The northbound would have
to clear the sidewalk so that he could
get his trucks across, and the south
bound would have to stop before the
engine got to the sidewalk.
In the meantime the express office
will continue to remain where it is un-
I'll something is done.
