Decoration Day.

In spite of the rain, which descended in torrents, the first attempt of the people of Douglas Island to observe Decoration Day may be said to have been eminently successful.
 The procession formed on Third street in the following order: Douglas liar mony Band, School Children, Fraternal Order of Eagles, Citizeus. Each child in the procession carried floral offer ing, in the shape of wreath or some other design. Some were very elabor- ate, especially the flag piece, the work of Miss Verna Bean. Upon arriving at the old cemetery, the procession halted while the committee of girls covered with flowers the grave of O, Hutchins, who is the only veteran buried on the Island, and the children sang "Tenting on the Old Camp Ground"
 Orlando Hutchins was born July B, 1883. in Bethel, Vermont. In early manhood he moved westward and set tied near Chicago. At the beginning of tbe Civil War he returned to his native state and there enlisted in the army. He participated in the battle of Gettysburg as a private in Captain William Danforth's company, K, of the 10th Vermont regiment, from which he was honorably discharged August 10, 1863. At the close of the war he came westward to Iowa and there married Emeline Rich who died five years later, the issue of the union being daughter, now Mrs. E. S. Churchill. Accompani- ed by his daughter he removed to Washington in 1888 and in 1895 came to Alaska to reside with her, she having preceded him few months. He died at Douglas City, Alaska, April, 23, 1898, aged GA years, 9 months and 20 days. The funeral services were held at the Friends church, Douglas, April 24, 1898.
 The procession then moved on out to the new cemetery, where after sa- Iute to the flag, music by the band and a song by the children, the graves were decorated, and the start was made back to the city. Part of the program had to be dispensed with, on account of the pouring rain.
 There were perhaps 200 people in the procession, and this number would have been more than doubled had the weather conditions been more favorable.

Farewell Gathering.

Last Thursday evening the friends of Rev. and Mrs. F. C. Krause and Mir. and Mrs. Walter Gould gathered at the Con- gregational church to express their ap- preciatop and good feeling for the above mentioned, who are about to de- part from Douglas for other parts An informal program of songs, recitations and speeches, passed the fore part of the evening, after which all present were ushered into the church parlors, where the ladies had prepared an ele- gant supper. The only thing to mar the pleasure of the evening was the thought that it was perhaps the last event at which the pastor and wife and Mir. and Mrs. Gould would be present in this city.

Deaths.

GERTRUDE, beloved daughter of Maud and Frederick lille, aged ' years, s months, and days, died on Thursday evening, May 2Sth, 1903.
 The news that little Gertrude had passed away, brought sorrow to the entire community, to whom she had endeared herself by her bright, winning ways. Endowed by nature with more than ordinary ability, her sweet child ish voice, which so often has charmed her hearers, as she sang the sweet songs she knew so we'll, is now stilled forever. But the pure soul has gone back to its Maker, where no pain or sorrow shall ever cause the little face to be drawn with suffering.
 The funeral services were held at the home on Saturday, May the 30th, at Il o'clock a. m., Rev. F. c, Krause oftici- ating. The little tired body was laid to rest in the Douglas cemetery.
 OrTo PoLvI, a native of Finland, aged 2S years, died at Treadwell on Saturday, May 30th, 1903. Funeral services were held at the Congregational church on Monday, June 1st, Rev. Krause ottici- ating.
 JOSEPH RoGGENDoRF, a native of Wisconsin, aged 36 years, died at Treadwell, on Saturday, May 3Oth, 1903. Funeral services were held at the Con- gregational church, on Monday, June 1st, Rev. Krause officiating.
 The two men, Polvi and Roggendorf, were employed at the Mexican mine, by contractor who was cutting raise from the $50 to the 440leYel.
 They came to their death from in- haling powder smoke. When the night shift came out of the mine, the usual round of holes was fired and the air turned on to clear out the smoke. It was found afterwards that when these shots went off a rock struck the air cock and mashed it flat so that 1t fail ed to allow the air to escape. When Polvi and Roggendorf went to work they entered the raise, supposipg it to be clear. Shift Boss Eaton came along that way short time afterwards and hearing unusual sounds, procured help and rushing into the raise, found Fred Tatom in an unconscious condition and carried him out. Polvi and Roggendorf were also quickly brought out by the other men. Dr. Moore was hurried to the scene and every effort was made to bring tbe men back to life, with success in the case of Tatom, but the other two were too far gone. They were both ex- perienced miners. Polvi had worked at Treadwell for about one year, and Rog- gendorf for m ore than 10 years.

Big, strong man is as helpless infant

The sturdiest chap in town usually loses
his self control, and is utterly unable to
regard his condition with the common
sense that characterizes his everyday
actions.
For example, He comes home tired,
eats a heavy dinner and sits down to read
and smoke away quiet evening.
Suddenly he notices a weight on his
stomach: then sharp pains around his heart,
and feeling of suffocation. Thoughts OF
s'heart disease rush over him, and Ii his
ngony he fears the worst.
The family doctor is summoned. and
after careful examination leaves medi-
cine that brings relief.
In a day or two the man is about his
business. weak and still unrecovered from
the effects of the pain and the shock to his
nervous system.
His trouble was indigestion, brought
on by overlooking his tired stomach.
A couple of Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets
would have given him instant relief
would have saved him hours OF suffering
and the cost Of q prescription.

emergencies.
