from the soldiers graves, color the
landscape on Cemetery hill.
Surely Memorial has become high
service day. May we speak OF the
bent forms. the slower steps OF the
comrades of our soldier dead7 II Is
common remark II would be brilliant
were II not so sad. II is not unnatural
to feel that those who by valor, by
sacrifice, by wisdom, have contributed
to maintain and preserve our institu.
tions, are interested in this day.
The flag is stirred by diviner aims
than those of earth as II is carried
to battle and to sacrifice and is a
witness of that divine life which is
with the nation always. There Is the
revelation of a divine quality in the
state The ideals of men become the
realities of God. Patriotic love that
famed up in the hearts of the people
was revelation of their devotion, and
by II they we're enabled not only to
save our country but to give us first
our country with a clear, distinct or
ganic consciousness.
The great struggle for liberty will
always remain the standard Of devo-
tion and sacrifice the nation demands.
The issue was so definite and clear.
Our admiration for the generals. Sher.
man, Grant and the other leaders is
great but Lincoln's benign face towers
over all. The wisest statesman, the
most pregnant speaker, he became
more powerful than any monarch Of
modern times through the reverence
of his countrymen for his sincerity,
his faith in God and man.
In the years past we have had to
deal with the problems Of securing
| liberty. Today we have to face the
problem Of preserving 1t. 1t Is a great
mistake to assume that the problem
Of today is the easier Of the two. The
growth Of large fortunes and large in.
dustries enables men who use them
rightly to do the public much better
service than was possible in ages pre-
vious 1t also permits those who use
them wrongly to render the public far
greater injury. No system of legisla-
ton is likely to meet this difficulty.
The outcome depends upon the charac-
ter of the people.
We cannot add to the glory OF our
soldier dead but we can carry their
historic work one step farther toward
its accomplishment. In the words of
Abraham Lincoln, no less appropriate
now than when they were spoken at
Gettysburg, eve here loyalty resolve
that these dead shall not have died in
vain, that this nation under God shall
have a new birth of freedom, that gov
ernment of the people, for the people,
by the people, shall not perish from
the earth"

HALE STARTS FISH FARM
FORMER BATTLE CREEK MAN
OPENS NEW INDUSTRY.
AS MUCH PROFIT AS IN STOCK
Senator Hale Claims That Fish viii
Respond as Readily to Food as Live
Stock, and He Feeds the Fish Scien-
tificaIIy-Many Varieties.
[From Thursdays Daily.1

[From Thursdays Daily.1
f. j. Hale was in the city yesterday
from his ranch near Atkinson. Mr.
Hale Is going to raise fish for market
on a large scale. There are several
largs springs on his ranch and below
these he will construct dams and
stock them. He has now pond cov-
ering seven acres and is building an
other to cover five acres. From pri-
vate parties he has purchased large
number of young fish, croppies, chan
mel cat, buffalo and clubs for his sew
en- acre pond. Another will be stocked
with bass and pickerel with chubs for
food Once each week, on killing days,
he sends a team to the butchers in
town and secures the livers and stom-
achs, with their contents, the partially
digested contents he feeds to the young
fish and the meaty part is chopped up
for the larger ones. Besides this he
feeds corn and chopped vegetables.
He claims that there is as much profit
in raising fish as stock, that they will
respond as well to food and care and
always find a ready market at good
prices. A channel cat of two pounds
can be grown in year. buffalo grow
more rapidly and are good winter fish.

Change.
After looking over the guch sltua
tion In Norfolk, the county commits
soners find that the work of draining
the residence portion of the west end
of Norfolk can be done at very low
cost and 1t is said that the first esti-
mate of the cost, which had been
placed by some persons at $4,000 or
higher, were very wild. II Is now es-
timated that the work can be done at
very small fraction of that cost, and
it develops that the cost to Madison
county will be practically nothing, as
all of the cost will ultimately be
charged back to the city of Norfolk
ami to property owners who shall be
benefited, under the provisions of the
swamp law
Inc exact course of :he canal can
not be determined until an engineer
arrives to look over the ground, and
either the state engineer or an enGi-
neer from Omaha will be brought to
look over the field.
Saving for Tax Payers.
The repairing of the gulch evil will
result in saving to taxpayers of Mad
ison county and the city of Norfolk, as
the washouts to the city and county
roads have been a source of constant
expense to both. The expense of keep
ing Thirteenth street, which is coun
ty section road in repair, has been a
big item in the past and this will be
done away with.
There will be no delay in the mat
ter of pushing the gulch.

GEl Burlington EAR.
NORFOLK COMMITTEE HAD TALK
WITH GENERAL MANAGER.
SEEMED TO VIEW FAVoRAeLY

Mr. HoIdre9e SAID IhSt the schuyler
Branch Had Never Been a Paying
Proposition and That Possibly an
Extension Might Bring Results.
General Manager Holdrege Of the
| Burlington railroad, in response to the
representations made to him by the
committee from Norfolk who, as del.
egates from the Commercial club. went
to Omaha to try to induce that line
of railroad to enter this city. said that
the Burlington railroad had frequently
had their eye on this section Of the
state and that he would take up the
matter Of extending the Schuyler
branch to this city.
That Branch Never Paid.
"The Burlington railroad is tired Of
building railroads because somebody
thinks they ought to-" Mr.. Holdrege
is quoted. as saying, by DIR. A. Bear,
one OF the committee. "The branch to
Schuyler has never been paying
proposition. The matter OF extending
any branch must depend to great
cAttlll, upOI lHe uOlIHTS ana cents
that can be gained. That feature will
cut quite a figure with the directors
at Boston, where everything is con.
trolled."
Might Pay to Extend.
But Mr.. Holdrege said that he saw
where, by extending the Schuyler
branch for fifty miles into Norfolk.
there was a possibility OF making the
whole branch pay and thus do away
with the part of non-paying track OF
the present day. He said that he
would take the matter up with the
Boston directors at once and see what
could be done.
Fear Two-Cent Fare.
One Of the things that will cause the
directors to hesitate in such project,
said Mr.. Holdrege, Is the present agi-
tation in Nebraska for a two-cent pas
senger fare. This, he said would make
the chances less for extending than
otherwise.
The committee returned well pleased
with their trip and of the opinion that
the end had well justified the journey
as no harm was done and General Man.
ager Holdrege promised to do as much
as he could toward extending the line
