THE ELKS' MEMORIAL
Honor Paid to Departed Members
of Local Lodge.

Sunday, Dec. A., was observed as Me
mortal Day by the B. p. o. Elks OF the
United States, and ceremonies appro-
pirate to the occasion were held by
hundreds Of Elks lodges throughout
the land. The local lodge had the
best memorial program they AVE ey-
err had, and it was listened to by a
good sized audience of the members
and the friends of the lodge. The or
ganization was most fortunate In Sc
curing District Deputy ]. A. S. Pol
lard, of Fort Madison, to deliver the
memorial address. The gentleman
pleased everyone who heard him. He
made an appropriate address and one
that was food for thought for every
one attending,-Elks and visitors
alike. The gentleman spoke smoothly
and without effort, his voice was pleas
ing and these points coupled with the
general excellence Of the talk stamped
the address as n far above the ordi-
nary.

first Sunday in December. 1t is a
day set apart by the order upon which
services are held for the honoring and
in memory Of departed brothers.

ganized in April, 1896, and now num-
hers over two hundred members. OF
the entire number but two have pass
ed to the great beyond: ". e. Hearne
and M. q. Callahan.
The program presented Sunday was
specially excellent in every particular.
The music by a mixed quartette, con-
sisting of Messrs. Hare and Hockett,
Miss Ware and Mrs. Hare was much
appreciated. The Hawkeye orches-
ira was present and assisted in the
program. Two very excellent eulo-
gies upon the departed brothers were
given by Hugh Mccoy and Dan Cor
coran. The ceremonials by the lodge
were interesting and had their proper
place on the program.

Edge Taken Off islanders Valor by
Manchurian Winter.

ST. Petersburg, Dec. 3.-The situation
of the armies below Mukden Is again
attracting attention, but the move
ments in progress are very puzzling.
The war office Is inclined :" reticence.
Gen. Rennenkampff has holly pursued
a Japanese detachment below Stntsln-
tin. as far as the Taitse river, and on
the right Russian scouts have explored
the Hun river below Liaoyang. All
the passes fell into Rennenkampns
hands. The Japanese apparently falled
to show their old-time form n OH
cial. as we'll as unofficial, dispatches
indicate that the edge has been taken
off the japanese fighting capabilities by
the cold weather. The same reports
say the Japanese threw away their
rifles. many of which were captured.
Other reports say Japanese officers
shot five soldiers who refused to face
the foe. There was a heavy lombard
ment on Friday along the Russian n
ter and right, which might indicate
that Gen. Kuropatkin is preparing to
assume the offensive.
May Be a Japanese Trap.
Reports the last few days indicate
that Gen. Rennenkampf is holly fol-
lowing up the Japanese retreat, meet
ing with comparatively little resist
ance, but some fear is expressed that
he may be running into a Japanese
trap. formed with the hope of cutting
off his command. 1t is believed he
| cannot possibly hold a position so far
south as the Taitse river.
It is the general opinion in military
circles that the present situation ear

titled positions along the Shakhe river

war office, must be accomplished by 6

RRYAN,s BIG PROJECT.

WASHINGTON, Nov s. Close
friends OF Bryan delcare that his plans
for 1903 are to control the radical and
semi-socielistic sentiment in the West
and in the East. The old alliance of
the South and West may not be re-
newed. The South will be told that il
gained nothing by breaking away from
it's former ally and joining with New
York. At the same time Bryan never
has looked on the Southern States as
fruitful soil for propagating his pOpu-
listic or radical ideas. His strength in
the West and Southwest will be greatly
increased by the overwhelming victory
of Roosevelt in New York
If Bryan takes satisfaction in any
one thing it will be in the knowledge
that Judge Parker, on a conservative
platform. was worse beaten in the con-
servative East than he himself was on
a free silver platform
The Herald Representatives in In
diana, Illinois and Wisconsin in the
West and in Connecticut and New Jer-
sew in the East have been told that
the local leaders of the Bryan Dem
ocracy were already laying plans for
the reorganization of the party. This
information also reached the Herald
from Democratic Representatives in
Congress, who had loyalty supported
-Rryan in his two campaigns They
seemed TO know in advance what was
going to happen and a sort of free
masonry appeared TO have carried the
news through a half dozen States.
Bryan had apparently laid his plans

OFFICIALS CAST BALLOTS.
Metcalf. Pardcc. Perkins and Other
Distinguished Men Vote.


OAKLAND, Nov Selection day in
Oakland was made notable only by the
prominent people who came home to
vote. Aside from the presence in this
city OF such men as Secretary MetcaIf
OF the Department Of Commerce and
Labor, Governor George c. Pardee.
United States Senator George c. Per-
kins. Collector Stratton OF the Port of
san Francisco and Superintendent
Leach OF the San Francisco Mint. the
election was extremely quiet. There
was q large vote polledA and the ballots
were dropped into the boxes early.
Secretary Metcalf had travelled more
than 1900 miles in order TO cast his
vote. Mr. Metcaif has retained his
residence here and registered the last
time that he visited Oakland To-day
he exercised his privilege as an Ameri-
can citizen. and at 1920 this morning
he made his appearance at the polling
place at the corner of Fourteenth and
Webster streets and deposited his bal
lot. He was alone, and II is said of
him that he cast his ballot in the
quickest time Of any one in this aristo-
cratic precinct. Mr.. Metcalf was just
ten seconds in marking his ballot, and
there can be no question but that he
aveiled himself of the little circle at
the toy of the ballot.
After voting Mr.. Metcalf Joined
friends at the Athenian Club and there
received some special returns that
were sent him from Washington. Early
this evening Mr.. Metcalf telegraphed
his congratulations to President Roose-
