IN HONOR OF THE DEAD
Interesting Memorial Day Services
 Held Here Yesterday.

Memorial day was fittirgly observed in this city yesterday by the various societies of veterans and the local military organizat tions and by the cit izens generally. The latter showed their interest in the event by the sus- pension of business and closing of stores and by largely attending the memorial services on the city hall plaza.
 The first incident of the day was the decoration of the graves of dead sol diers. At o'clock in the morning the members of the Grand Army and the Woman's Relief corps, together with many others went to the cemeteries and without ceremony laid their floral tributes over the last resting place of the scores of dead soldiers who are buried here. Though the origin of me morial day was a desire to do honor to the veterans of the civil war who fell In the country's defense, frcm the cus tom has properly grown sentiment void of prejudice and broader in it's application. The floral offerings there fore were spread alike upon the graves of those who participated on. both sides Of the war between the states and also upon the veterans of the Spanish war and the Philippines cam paigns, of whom there are many bur jed here.
 Immediately after the decoration of the graves at the vacant square on the corner of Washington and Fifth streets, occurred the annual Decoration day drill of the living sol diers of the reserve force the national guard, in which also two companies of the Indian school cadets and the In- dian band, participated, all being under command of Col. J. H. McClintock. Various evolutions were accomplished followed by dres0 parade and a. 9:45 the military organizations headed by the band, marched to the O'Nein hall. From there the members of the Grand Army were escorted to the city plaza, where they were joined by the Wo- mans Relief corps and the members of the Spanish war veterans.
 The plaza exercises took place on the west side of the city hall where a plat
 form had been placed in the shade or the big trees and benches arranged for the comfort of those wbo attended. Music appropriate to the occasion was furnished by the Indian school band.

COMMITTEE REPORT
Suggesting the Amount Necessary for
 High School Improvement.

At a recent mass meeting of the Vot- CTS of the high school district at which it was decided 10 call an election on a bond issue to relieve the indebtedness against the district and make needed alterations in the school building, the following report was made by a com mittee previously appointed to inquire into the situation:
 First. We find the recitation rooms are overcrowded, and the assembly room has q seating capacity of only 161. while more than 200 pupils were in attendance this year. The estimat- ed increase for the next year is eighty.
 "Second. We find that by the close of the present year the high school district will be in debt approximately 5000. The deficit consists of a debt of $1, AGO carried over from last year and $3,600 spent for the purchase of block No. fl, Churchill's addition, and a strip eighty feet wide extending the full length of the block, said strip join ing block No. Al to the original school grounds. To meet this deficiency and 10 provide more room the board caused an election to be held to determine whether the district should be bonded in the sum of $2O,OOO. This proposition was overwhelmingly defeated.
 The committee submitted it's opinion as follows:
 We believe, after ca"eful investiga- tion, there were two main reasons for this result-first, the district did not approve of the purchase of the block of land; second, the district demands that the principal of the Union high school shall be it's superintendent.
 Any mistake made in the r1rchaxe of block fl we believe to have been an error of judgment on the par. oi the board. and was not done for gain but as they thought, for the best in- terest of the school. Furthermore. we believe that the price paid was not exorbitant and that said block can be used to advantage.
 We believe the superintendent of the high school useless official, and recommend that this mass meeting in- struct the board not to employ super intendent for the next year"
 The committee also subIlitted al schedule Of improvements rneded, to cost $7,900 and a list of n1edcd altera- tions to cost s2.9OO and recommended q bond issue of $1O.OO0.

A STALK OF ALFALFA
What a Happy Conjunction of Land
 and Water Has Accomplished.

There may be seen at the office of Dwight B. Heard a sample. of what al- falfa may become in this community under the stimulus of proper encour- agement. by soil and water. There is a stalk of alfalfa sixty inches long. Ii is not only a long stalk, but a heavy, broad and generous one. It was grown from seed planted in April cf last year. and therefore IS little more than a year old The base of it looks like the stump of small tree
 This alfalfa was taken from a fl eld belonging to the Buckeye Canal com pany, and there is a great deal more like it in the Buckeye country, for there Is no better soil anywhere and there are few places in the whole ard region where there is so much water just now. Tn fact there has not been in recent years shortage of water cn the Buckeye.
 There are new 14.0O0 acres in I0itiva- ton and for this, at one of the lowest stages of the river lately known, there IS 3500 inches of water. or aoout half as much as there is for all the land un- der the north side canals. The farmers in this part of the valley would be er- vious of their more fortunate Buck keye brethren were it not for the certainty that this discrimination cannot be kept up forever, for 1t will not be many years until the great Tonto dam will be fn- ished and then in the meantime it may rain some.

accordance with custom read the dec laration of independence after which the ritualistic memorial service of the Grand Army was read by D. r. Kyle, chaplain of the post
 The Woman's Relief corps had caUs- ed to be erected temporarily on the grounds for the purposes of the day, a monument in homer of the unknown dead and this mNument was next decorated by the members of that so- ciety, with appropriate ceremony.
 Col. M H. McCord was intro duced as the speaker of the day His address was a most interesting one and in its course allusion was made to the trying times that resulted in the civil strife from which the nation has emerged, the greatest and the proud est on earth. But at that time the fu ture could not be foreseen. It was the principles of patriotism that led men to lay their lives upon the altar not knowing what the result might be; the same principles that have made the country triumphant in peace as we'll as war. Beautiful tributes were paid to these whose lives were sacri- feed and to those also who were equal ly brave in their long and noble ser vice but more fortunate in the issues of war. Kind words were spoken of those. equally as brave but of differing views and the most touching reference was made to the fading ranks of the surviving heroes of the days when the nation was in peril.
 Col. McCord's address concluded the exercises on the programme, but for n T. hour or so longer the crowd fingered, the veterans talking over the incidents of other days and minsling with the big crowd in the enjoyment of the cake and ice cream that wes being served by the members of the relief corps.

EC,zzE EkhA The Worlds Greatest Skin Humour. Affects Every Age and
 Condition. The Only Sure Cure is
 CutiCura.

If there were not another external skin disease known, eczema would be . sufficient infilction on mankind. It per vades all classes, and descends impar- tially through generations. While some are constantly enveloped In it, others have 1t confined to small patches in the ears, on the scalp, on the breast, on the palms of the hands, on the limbs, etc, but everywhere it's distinctive feature is small watcry blister, which discharges an acrid fluid, causing heat, inhamma- ton, and intense itching, scaling and crusting.
 The Cuticura treatment is at once agreeable, speedy, economical and con- prehenslve. Bathe the affected parts freely with hot water and Cuticura Soap, to cleanse the surface of crusts and scales, and soften the thickened cuticle. Dry, without hard rubbing, and apply Cuticura Ointment to allay itching, irritation and inflammation, and soothe and heal, and, lastly, take Cuticura Resolvent, or Pills, to cool and cleanse the blood. This treatment af- fords instant relief, permits rest and sleep in the severest forms of eczema and other itching, burning and scaly humours, and points to speedy, per manent and economical cure of tor turing, dislguring humours, eczemas, rashes and inhammations, from infancy to age. when all other remedies and the best physicians fail.

FIRE ADJOINING COST S5Oo,oOO
GIenny Building In Flames Caused
Rig Scare Ia Playhouse, and
wild Scramble For Ex-
Its Ensued.

BUFFALO, Aug. 9.-While matt
nee was In progress yesterday after
noon In the Academy theater a fierce
fire, which caused damage estimated al
100000, started in an adjoining build
ing. Patrons OF the playhouse were
thrown into panic and SO rapidly die
the flames spread that 100 of them, the
majority Of them women and children
were forced to make their way out over
the fire escapes.
In the Glenny building, where the
fire started, the flames gained Roadway
rapidly, and despite the fact that al
the available fire lighting apparatus in
the city was called out by extra alarms
the tiremen could not gain the mas
terry.
1t was in this structure that, Chief
Murphy fears, lives may have been lost
From the stage Of the Academy thea
ter it was announced that there was q
fire in the vicinity and that, although
there was no danger, it was advisable
that the audience leave the building.
The remembrance Of the terrible Iro-
quois fire, however, threw the more
timid in a panic, and for time it seem
ed that there would be a repetition Of
the awful scenes enacted at the Iro-
Quois.

In all the conflicts between capital
and labor both sides have learned
something. Arbitrary demands on one
side and stubborn resistance on the
other have often brought on warfare
that cost the opposing forces more
than they gained, but they have learn
ed that peaceful settlement is al
ways preferable. 1t looks as IL there
could never be perfect amaIgama-
ton between capital and labor, says
the Chicago Sun. Repeated strikes
have made capitalists tirnid and con-
sentative in their investments, but on
the other hand has forced them to re-
cognize the rights OF labor and in
many eases has compelled them to
grant concessions which might not
otherwise have been made. What is
gained by force and pressure, how
ever, has to be maintained by the
same factors, which Is not always
easy. The law OF supply and de
mand is bound to govern in this field
as in all others

Men, women and children began q
rush for the doors and exits, but the
police and tiremen on duty partially
succeeded in calming them. Many were
persuaded to file out of the fire escapes
but many women were panic stricken.
Women tainted, and children scream
ed in fright. In the street SO great q
crowd, made up of persons who had
fed out of buildings in the neighbor-
hood, blocked the exits that there was
a wild struggle at the doors
When Chief Murphy saw that the fire
in the Glenny building was beyond
control, he devoted all his energies to
keeping the flames from communicate
ing to the adjoining structures At one
time it seemed that two other buildings
were doomed, but at o'clock the chief
announced that the fire was under con-
troll
Chief Murphy said at that time that
he had been unable to ascertain wheth-
er there was any loss of life.

According to the New York Sun, it
ones mood, to find the betting odds ON
the election solemnly quoted as sort
of triumphant argument and final
proof. The campaign DIS hardly in
the bud The platforms have not
been digested A hundred, thou
sand, unforeseen conditions, a single
speech or letter of one Of the candi-
dates, may turn strongly one way or
the other the balance now about in
equilibrium Yet a lot of gentlemen
are gayly betting on their prejudices
or their hopes; the state of their guess
es is quoted for the information and
relief of an anxious world, as if the
register of the odds were some SUI
blime mathematical demonstration.
Many or most of these calculators of
fortune know little or nothing about
the political conditions in the several
states. If they have a table of the
electoral votes, the chances are that it
! is an old one. But they are confident
of their own infallibility They are
eager to bet $4,000 Or any part of il
at blank to one, and their readfhessEto
gamble in the dark Is spread upon the
record as seriously as a census bulle-
tin. Put not your trust in bettors,
especially since many of the bets are
fakes.
