Wilbur Dodge Visits the Old Home.

j. w. Dodge of Water Valley,
Miss. visited here over Sunday. Mr..
Dodge is an old Lancaster boy and
is an employee of the Illinois, Central
railroad. He left here when he was
seventeen years old and entered the
employ Of the Lehigh Valley road
where he was employed until TAX
ing a position with the Illinois
Central. Mr.. Dodge was one of the
founders of the Railroad Mems
Sound Money clubs in the Mckinley
campaigns and was a personal friend
of Pres. Mckinley. He had the
honor few years ago to head a
delegation of 10000 railroad men
who went to Canton to see Pres.
Mckinley and he made the speech
of introduction to the president.
For the last eight years he has been
employed in the South assprivate
secretary to. the superintendent Of
the Southern division of the Illinois
Central, living first at Memphis and
later at Water Valley. During this
time he has had opportunity to OBJ
serve the change in the Southern
sentiment since the war. As an in
stance of this change he told of a
visit made by Pres. Mckinley to
Memphis during the time he lived
there. Mr.. Dodge was president OF
the Railroad Mems CLUB of Memphis
and chairman of the reception com.
mittee. While making arrange.
ments for parade a delegation OF
Confederate veterans called on him
and asked to be allowed to escort
the president in the parade. In
citing this instance Mr.. Dodge made
the statement that President Nc
Kinley was loved as much in the
south as in the north.
The main object Of Mr.. Dodge's
visit was to see his invalid sister
Mrs. Copeland who is living here.
While here Mr.. Dodge visited his
old home, the old Dodge farm
which is now occupied by Peter
Hoffman. With his son Wilbur
who came with him he spent the
time visiting the different places
about town with which he was more
Or less associated in his younger
days and left Monday afternoon fol
his home.

TELLS OF CRIME.
Woman Turns States Evidence at
Prairie du Chen.

William Crawford was found
guilty of murder in the first degree
by a jury in the Circuit court be-
fore Judge Clementson Saturday
afternoon. He with his sister-in-
law were charged with causing the
death of an illegitimate child to
which the woman gave birth. Dur
ing the trial the woman asked per-
mission to make statement and
the request was granted at the
opening of court Saturday morning.
When put upon the stand she turned
states evidence and swore that
her brother-in-law was the father
of the infant and that at the birth
he wanted her to go to the barn
that no one might know 1t.
There were eleven members of
the household and all lived in one
room, 18x24 feet with an attic where
the boys slept. After the birth on
Jan. 10 Crawford buried the infant
in manure pile. It had showed
during the night, and when the
boys went out to do the chores they
noticed the tracks, but dared not in
vestigate, being threatened with
death by the father, but when an
opportunity offered they notified
the authorities five weeks later.
Officers dug up the body and a
physicians examination showed
that life had existed when the child
was buried. The woman's husband
is an inmate to the Mendoza insane
asylum, but she has a son l19 years
old, who testified against the &C
cused, as did also Crawford's three
sons.
The feeling against Crawford ran
high during the preliminary exam
nation and threats of lynching
were made by the neighbors. A
deplorable condition in the family
was unearthed during the trial. The
wife had objected to the relations Of
her husband and sister, but dared
not interfere lest he kill her. When
the wife went to the jail on mat
ter of business with her sister,
Crawford pleaded for q word with
his wife, but she refused to re-
cognize him. The sons, aged 16, 18,
and 20 years.. are endeavoring to
pay off the mortgage on the farm.
and their old grandfather, 96 years
old, has been sent to the poor farm.

anreate sermon on Sunday and also to
ask Rev. Evans to give the benediction
and prayer at commencement.
The commencement programs are

ever sent cut here.
The Juniors held class meetings this

the hall and also on the Junior recep-
ton.
The baseball team will play a game

LIVING PAY TRIBUTE.
Beautiful Flowers, Diadems of Nat
ure, Placed Upon Each Mound.

Once a year we stop in our daily
toll and pay respect to the departed
soldier dead who gave their lives
that we might be one people, now
and forever.
All Lancaster and all the nation
was in memoriam yesterday. Near
ly all business was suspended. and
every one took some part in the ex-
erclses in keeping with the spirit of
remembranceIfor the soldiers dead
who have passed to the beyond.
The day was all that could be de-
sired-much different than the fore
cast OF the day previous predicted
and the gathering that witnessed
the parade, sthat stood overI the
graves of their friends and relatives
and heard the eloquent address Of
Rev. Evans at the opera house, was
perhaps the largest that ever as
sembled at the county seat on a
similar occasion.
onould one forget that vast throng
OF silent ones who have passed to
the great beyond; should they for a
moment fail to realize how vast
that throng is, and how it is linked
lnseparably with those who are left
behind, they are reminded of it
forcibly on the occasion of the great
national Memorial day.
The exescises were carried out
exactly as announced in the Herald
last week. In the forenoon the G..
A. r., W. R. G. and Ladies of the
G. A. R., headed by the band and
with the Boys brigade in command
OF Rev. Sprague formed in line Of
march at the post hall and pro-
ceeded to the cemetery where the
graves of departed veterans were
decorated with floral tributes.
In the afternoon the parade re-
formed and marched from post hall
to the monument in the the court
yard where impressive ceremonies
were held, after which the program
proper was carried out at the opera
house.

FIRST MEMORIAL DAY.
Observed May 80, 1853, by Order of
Gen. Logan.

Inc nrSt Off1clal observance OF
May thirtieth as a day for the de-
coration of the graves of the Union
dead followed proclamation issued
from the headquarters of the Grant
Army Of the Republic on May fifth
1858 by General Logan commander
in chief. This order read: 1.-THE
thirtieth of May 1868 is designated
for the purpose of strewing with
flowers or otherwise decorating the
graves of comrades who died in de-
tense of their country during the
late rebellion and whose bodies now
lie in almost every city, village.
hamlet and churchyard in the land.
In this observation no form of cere-
mony is prescribed but posts and
comrades will in their own way ar
range such fitting services and
testimonials of respect as circum7
stances may permit. We are organ-
lied, comrades, as our regulations
tell us-for the purpose among other
things of preserving and strengthen
ing those KIND and fraternal feel
ings which have bound together
soldiers and sailors and marines
who united together to suppress the
late rebellion. What can aid more
to assure this result than by cherish
ing tenderly the memory of our
heroic dead who made their breasts
a barricade between our country
and it's foes? Their soldier lives
were the reveille Of freedom to a
race in chains and their deaths the
tattoo of rebelious tyranny in arms.
We should guard their graves with
sacred vigilance. All that the conse-
Grated wealth and taste of the nation
can add to their adornment and Sc.
curitY is but fitting tribute to the
memory of her slain defenders. Let
no wanton foot tread rudely in
such hallowed grounds. Let pleasant
paths invite the coming and going
of reverent visitors and fond mourn
ers. Let no vandalism of avarice
or neglect nor ravages Of time
testify to the present or to the com
ing generations that we have for
gotten as people the cost Of a free
and undivided republic. If other
eyes grow dull and other hands
slack and other hearts grow cold in
the solemn trust, ours shall keep ii
well as long as the light and
warmth Of life remain to us. Let
us then at the time appointed gather
around the sacred remains and gar
land the passionless mounds above
them with the choicest flowers of
springtime. Let us raise above them
the dear old flag they saved from
dishonor. Let us in this solemn
presence renew our pledges to aid
and assist those whom they have
left among us-a sacred charge up
on a nations gratltude-to soldiers
and sailors widow and orphan"
