Memorial Day.

The proper observance OF Memorial
Day by the Odd Fellows OF Elko has
long since passed its experimental
stage. Before they o up the day, no
attention whatever was paid to it by the
people OF EI.:o. Like other days 1t
came and went with nothing to mark its
solemn character. This was not because
no sentiment toward those who sleep in
our cemeteries existed here, but because
Their re were none who took the proper
steps to give lie to that sentiment. The
Odd Fellows took the lead and the peO-
pie responded nobly. Since then Me-
mortal Day has been regularly observed
by our by our citizens.
While the Odd Fellows in years gone
by have taken the lead in the observance
OF this day. they do not claim it Us their
cwn, but invite nle cooperation and as
eistance OF all, irrespective of creed or
sect. They recognize that the day be

That Senator Stewart Is having
troubles Of his own other than political
is evidenced by the following from u
society paper published IN Washington:
Senator Stewart Of Nevada will hive
a herculean task to convince the people
OF this city tina; he acted with fatherly
affection for his children or with due
respect for the memory OF his first wife.
@He denied III positive terms that
Mrs. Bessie Stewards statement about
true, but he did not deny that he sen
certain family portraits to auction. No
one disputes with the aged Nevadan the
right to be as happy us a lark with his
second spouse, but common decency de-
mnnds different treatment of family
portraits, Also the Senator put some
specious arguments forth III condonIng
his n.conuuct and challenging public
criticism. He spoke Of dividing the
proceeds OF the sale OF the Stewart man
sion equally between his children. Tie
maLeion WIS absolutely the property Of
the first Mrs. Stewart, made over TO her
when bankruptcy stared the Senator i'll
the face. She refused to give back
the property when the Senator'S affairs
became more prosperous, and this, |
hear, was the cause Of serious trouble
between the two, They were virtually
separated when MB. Stewart met her
tragic end III San Francisco less than
two years ago.
Senator Stewart gave his daughters
Mrs. Hooker aud Mrs. Payson. what the
law demanded hun to give and nothing
more. lie gave Mrs. Bessie Fox, II
granddaughter, who had Il claim
through her dead mother, nothing at all.
and vas absolutely deaf to all appeals
for personal property belonging to Mrs.
Stewart. | am told the second wife has
been intolcrably rude to the Senator's
children. Last winter at n Of the
White House levees she disdained to be
presented to Mrs. Hooker. much to that
lady's astonishment. or course, Mrs.
Hooker WIS bitterly disappointed when
her father remarked less than a year
after her mothers death, but this did
not constltu ute reasons for refusing to
give her the bedroom set which her
mother had used nearly fifty years and
other small articles OF no value to any
one except to Mrs. Stewards children.
Mrs. Hooker is going to take her case to
