WAS AN IDEAL DAY |
Memorial Day Was Observed
In Proper Spirit
PROCESSION A MILE LONG.
Afternoon Exercises Were Well At
tended. Thoughtful Address BY
Prof jackson Pleases All

With wonderful weather, a deep
appreciation of the meaning of the
day, with solemnity and dignity and
deep feeling, Denison observed Mem
orial Day ideally. Early in the morn
ing large numbers began to arrive
from the country so that by the time
the annual pilgrimage to the city of
the dead was to be commenced the
streets were filled with people. The
procession to the cemetery was i'm
pressive. Headed by the band in I'M
form of white and including the grey
haired veterans, the ladies of the Re-
lief Corps and the Sons of Veterans
together with hundreds of citizens,
for nearly mile in length it wound
its course. The cemetery was veri
table bower of flowers. Not only the
old soldiers but all the beloved dead
had been remembered. Arrived at
the grounds the solemn rituals of the
united patriotic orders was gone
through with. solemnly, impressively
and deep reverence while the many
citizens listened with barred heads.
The impressive words of Lincoln were
read and the flowers were strewed
upon the graves of the departed
brave. Nor were the unknown dead
forgotten. The men who died in camp

less at the age of ten; he had less
than years schooling, and his first
book was borrowed one. He was
rail splitter, boatman, clerk, grocer,
surveyor, postmaster, lawyer, and
politician, but honest to the core.
When man was needed to guide the
ship of state on stormy sea, the peo
pie thought Lincoln would do, and so
they made him President. There he
stands tall, angular, awkward, mus
cular; with his melancholy face, he
was the homliest man in the nation.
Roosevelt said, "Sad, patient Lin
coin. - We are glad he was patient.
They called him slow, but he could
afford to wait, for God had waite, for
him two centuries and more. He
had scanned the horizon of history if
perchance He might see the man
whom He could trust, and when He
saw Lincoln He said, "He will do. >"
Lincoln knew how to watch, as we'll
as wait. He kept his eye on the clock
of the universe. and when the hand of
time, on the dial of providence point
ed to the hour of destiny, he rose in
the strength of his manhood, and
bending like giant to his colossal
task, he picked up the continent by
tho rim, and shook it, and shook it,
until he shook the schackles from
four million slaves; gave them the
liberty and rights of men, and shatter-
ed forever the hopes of secession.

and field or rebel prison received
their due.
Never has Memorial Day been more
fittingly observed in Denison and all
those who took part in the exercises
must be congratulated upon the evid-
ent sincerity and earnestness with
which they performed their allotted
tasks. No, the spirit of patriotism
is not dead. 1t lives, sad but tri-
umphant. Not aggressive, but abid-
ing, a sure omen of the future we'll
being of the Republic.
IN THE AFTERNOON.
The afternoon exercises at the opera
house were we'll attended by people
both from the town and the country.
Hon. Chas. Tabor presided over the
meeting in behalf of the Commercial
Club which had been active in its as
sistsnce to the patriotic ordres in
arranging for the proper observance
of the day. A q uarteete consisting
OF Mr.. and Mrs. B. j. Sibhert and
Prof. and Miss Van Ness gave re-
markably we'll rendered selection.
Rev. Father NJ. j. Farrelly in a
beautifully worded prayer invoked
the Divine blessing and then with a
few we'll chosen remarks Mr.. Tabor
introduced the orator of the day,
Prof George B. Jackson of the Mem
orial University of Mason City. 1t
was peculiarly fitting that the address
should be delivered bv son of a
veteran and man who represents the
university founded by that order for
the special purpose of intoxicating
patriotism as we'll as the accepted
college curriculum.
Prof. jackson attempted no orator
zeal flights but his address was most
thoughtful and helpful one. He came
with message and he told it plainly
and so unerringly that 1T could not
fail to reach the most ordinary un-
derstanding. He said that the best
we could give our soldiers, the living
and the dead was good citizenship.
This would be a monument more en-
during than stone or brass, bette,
than any wordy eulogy. The essenti-
ais of good citizenship are Patriot
ism, Morality and Intelligence. The
means to acquire these are the Home,
the Church and the Schools. Mr..
jackson dwelt on the sphere of each
of these great instrumentalities for
good. His style was plain, easily
understood and thoughtful. While
we have heard more oratorical address
ses, we have heard few that told their
message more directly or more effect
lively. We feel that no one who
heard the address failed to receive
benefit therefrom, and that, to our
notion is the highest praise that
could be bestowed upon speaker.
The benediction pronounced by'Rev.
Father Farrelly closed the public OBJ
servance of the day. ---He--.@.-.AaiDsn

and the observance of the day was
ideal in every respect. There was no
unseemly levity, no Earring note up
on the solemnity of the occasion. A
large number were present from the
country and from the surrounding
towns and all seemed filled with the
sole idea to do honor to our soldier
dead. Many were the comments to
the effect that the celebration of the
day carried one back to twenty years
ago in Denison. This was as it should
be. The example has been set and
we trust that it will be many years
before Denison shall neglect to rem
ember the Union soldiers in dignif-
ed, impressive and appropriate man
ner.

Never in the history of the piano
trade in Denison or perhaps any
where in the state of Iowa, has there
been an opportunity presented to the
music loving people like the WYCOFF
PIANO CO., or the Chicago nanufact.
ures are at this time Offering. Mr..
VIM. Thomas Worth, representing
these large firms, has placed in sale
an immense assortment of pianos and
organs, all of which will be sold at
actual manufactures cost. What this
means to the intending purchaser will
be readily appreciated when they note
the prices attached to the instruments
shown.
1t is a commercial secret that the
principal cost OF any manufactured
article to the consumer is the usual
enormous expense of marketing and
selling the article. This item of ex-
pense alone is almost, if not quite,
equal to the cost of manufacture. For
example, a retail piano dealer can
not conduct regular music store. pay
rents, salary and commission to
agents, without adding from 500 to
sl.5O to the cost of each piano and
from SO to $50 to the cost OF each
organ. The largest wholesale and
retail piano house in Sioux City pro-
pose doing the business along differ
ent lines and save the purchaser this
usual enormous expense and profit,
and to that end has shipped direct
from Chicago two whole carloads of
bright new pianos and organs, which
arrived in car load lots, thereby
saving one-half in freight and they
propose doing a whole years business
within ten days and save eleven and
one-half months expense of a music
store in Denison.
Every piano and organ will be
marked IN plain figures at prices
heretofore unheard of to the buyers of
Denison and western Iowa. 1t is in
deed the largest and most beautiful
stock ever exhibited in our city, and
the price reductions are nothing short
OF startling. On the sales floor will
be found the most celebrated makes in
the world, including the whole re
nowned Hallett & Davis (for sixty
five years the Boston favorite), the
AriOn OF New York, the Bush y Lane
(the artists favorite), the Hobart NJ.
Gable, Schaetfer and Clinton. Pianos
OF world wide reputation. Pianos
that heretofore have been sold in Den
ison by regular retail dealers from
s3UO to $500 will be slaughtered during
this sale at sl9S, $2ls, $3.50, s25S. s276,
S296, s3l2, 1926. $3.50. These remember
are the most renowned makes in the
world, those used and endorsed by
the worlds greatest artists and
schools OF music. Then for those
who wish to economic and yet have a
good, reliable and durable piano in
their homes, there will be shown an
endless variety of fully warranted
Boston and New York made pianos
which are usually.sold at prices 5000
to $3.50. These will be sold during the
continuance of this sale at such
phenominally reduced prices as S136

Actio non the Part Of President

Neutrality-suspicious. in the
history Of the United States is the
action Of the President just announc-
ed in dismissing in disgrace from
the army an entire battalion of negro
troops because Of their failure to dis
close the identity of some of their
number who had been guilty Of vio-
!ence and murder. As an evidence,
however, of his intention to be fair
to the negro soldiers the President
has accompanied this action by an
order which may amount to the court
martial of a white army officer Of
high grade who was charged with
having cast slurs upon the negro
troops. The story Of both actions is
told in the following official CORES
pondence, made public today by the
Military Secretary:

Druggist Meets Death.

Berry Lowther, young pharmacist
in the employ Of the Century Drug
store in Jackson, was found in a dying
condition in his room in the southern
part Of the city, and before restora-
tives could be applied he had breathed
his last. Mr.. Lowther had been trou-
bled with nervous headache fox sew
eral days, and when he left the drug
store carried with him q two-ounce
phial OF papine. He went to his room
about 10 o'clock and short while
afterwards was found lying across his
bed in an unconscious condition and
breathing heavily. Physicians were
sent for, but before they could apply
the emetics the drug had worked It's
effects with fatal results. The young
man was from the neighborhood Of
Florence, in Rankin county, where
he leaves number of relatives, and
his remains were sent to his old home.
AT first his death was attributed to sui
cidal intent, but those who knew the
man assert that this theory must be
incorrect, but that it was really unin-
tentionally that the result of an over
dose was administered in order to re-
lieve the racking pain.
