The weather, in spite of the
showers early in the morning
and late in the afternoon, was

services were rendered. There
was a prayer by the chaplin,
George Smith, then an address
by the com mander, L. G.. Pender-
CAST, followed by songs, such as
"America" and "Nearer My God
to Thee" Judge Pendergast's
speech was especially able and
is one of the best he has ever
made. ,>>.,.ss>
The most beautiful part of the
exercises was the decoration of
the graves. Wreaths and flowers
werestrewn in loving profusion,
and on>a large cross were placed
wreaths bearing the names of
soldier friends and relatives
buried in distant cemeteries.
Among the most beautiful floral
offerings were the magnolias
sent to Bemidji friends for the
occasion by Rev. Father Murphy
from Little Rock, Arkansas.
In the afternoon were the
exercises at the city hall. The
program did not begin until 2
O'Clock, but long before that
time the crowd began to arrive
and the hall was soon packed to
overfowing. The seats were all
occupied in a short time and

At 1:3O the members OF the
post and the ladies of the circle
met at Odd Fellows hall and
marched to the city hall, where
they occupied a reserved section.
The school children and others
who participated in the program
also were given reserved seats in
the front of the house.
The hall was decorated with
patriotic EN- blems. About the
room were small flags and red,
white and blue bunting, while on
one side of the stage hung a
picture of President Mckinley
and on the other one of President
Roosevelt. Directly over the
stage was placed a large shield
bearing the word "Welcome.'
The program was opened with
the singing of America J" by the
audience, followed by prayer by
Rev. S. E. P. White. Then came
the principal address of The day

effort along patriotic lines and
created much favorable COM
ment. The speech in full ap-
pears in another column. x
The recitation of Lincoln's
! Gettysburg's address by Prof.
W. B. Stewart and the address
by Prof. A. P. Richie also met

theme the coming patriots of
America and told how the school
children of today would be the
old soldiers of the next genera

The work of the children ex-
cited no end of applause. They
had learned their parts we'll and
performed them with childish
grace. The girls were all dressed
in white and formed a pretty
picture on the stage. 49,
The most "cunning" number
was perhaps the "Sunbonnet

children of the first grade.
There were twenty five or thirty
on the stage, the girls dressed
in red, white and blue bonnets
and white dresses and the boys
in straw hats and blue overalls.
They sang and marched to the
time of little drums and COM
pletely brought down the house.
The flag drill by eleven girls of
the third grade was popular

onto the stage to the beating of
drums and then sang a mum Der
OF war time songs, such as
"Marching through Georgia"
and ''Tramp, tramp, tramp, the
boys are marching" ... ~
Special mention should also be
made of the patriotic song and
march number by the fourth
grade and the recitation and song
mum Der by the third grade girls.
By no means the least deserv-

recitations by several of the
children, among them being the
speaking of Gin Memoriam" by
Dorothy Terrence, "Memorial

"For Grandpa's sake" by Ora

SEEKS A WRIT OF ERROR.
Consolidated Rendering Co. Claims New
Law Is Unconstitutional.


petition was filed in Chittenden county
court yesterday by the Consolidated Render
| ing company VS.. the State of Vermont, ask
| ing the supreme court to grant a writ of
| error in the case of the contempt proceed
ings against the company, and that it be
| returnable at the January term of court.
1t is claimed that the Chittenden county
court erred in finding the plaintiff in con-
tempt for failure to produce certain books
and papers at the September term and in
imposing a fine of $4,000 for the following
reasons:
Il Because the report of the grand
jury of record in the contempt proceedings
and the affidavits of the general counsel for
such company sufficiently show that the
papers in question, if produced, would tend
to incriminate said company and render it
liable for criminal prosecution,
e. Because the recent legislative act
Oh. ~ was unconstitutional and the court
was without jurisdiction.
80. Because it overruled the motion
filed by said company.
"a. Because it does not appear that the
papers in question would have been legally
admissible, il produced.
8. Because no proper or sufficient no
tice to produce such books and papers was
given.
The Consolidated Rendering company,
which owns and operates the plant of the
Burlington Rendering company, was ad-
judged in contempt October 81 for not
having produced before the grand jury of
Chtterden county all of the books, &C.
counts, etc, called or.in that body's inves-
tigation of the sale of diseased meat. The
contempt case later passed to the supreme
court on exceptions. A deposit of $4,000 as
security for the fine, pending the final de-
cision, was made with the Chittenden Coun-
ty Trust company of Burlington few days
ago.
