Decoration day exercises in Lowell
We're observed in the most sacred man
ner and We're witnessed by large con-
course Of towns people and from the
surrounding county, and former resi-
dents, the weather being especially fine
for the occasion. At 1890 o'clock the
NJ c I. band, the old soldiers, Won
ans Relief Corps, school children, vol
unteer firemen and civic orders,
Knights of Phythias. odd Fellows,
Daughters OF Rebekah, Foresters and
citizens on foot and in vehicles formed
in line in front Of the K. of P. hall and
marched TO Lowell cemetery, where
the beautiful ritualistic work and
strewing Of flowers on their dead COM
rades' graves was impressively carried
out. Post Commander Pattee. and
others who took part in this part of the
exercises received favorable comment
for SO Wen and sacredly performing
that which was assigned to them. The
column again formed and marched
back to the Lowell opera house which
was packed to listen to the literary
program for the day This part of
the exercises. as arranged, was fine
and we'll rendered and we doubt if ever
equaled before in Lowell on such an
occasion. The singing by the Lowell
chorus, recitation by the Misses Gladys
Brown and Hattie Foster, and the
speech of the day by Rev. Wozencraft
was all well rendered and touching in
effect as it brought back to the old
soldiers and those old enough to re-
member the sad memories of that
great sacrifice Only twenty three SOL
diers took part in the exercises in
Lowell this year, showing that with
each receding year their ranks are fast
thinning and it will only be a short
while when these, too, will be called on
to join their departed comrades. Let
us all be found always doing honor to
those who are allowed yet to remain
with US.

The houses they are building are
scattered about over the Land com
panys subdivision on a line running
about east and west through the en-

the business blocks on either side of

A DEARTH OF TRAFFIC
FEW BOATS NOW SEEN ON THE
MISSISSIPPI RIVER.

Fred H. Newell and W. J. MCGEE Of the
Washington this morning from the expe-
Mississippi. Mr.. Newell in speaking OF
the expedition said that the most remark
able feature of the trip was the dearth OF
traffic on the river. which is now in better
condition than it has ever been before in
its history.
There is now a nine-foot channel from the
mouth of the river to Cairo and thence
about a six-foot channel to st. Louis
Thence there are from five to six feet of
water to the mouth of the Ohio. The river
Is lighted like city street throughout,
that is to say, there Is never a point where
the pilot is not in sight of at least one
light. This is a remarkable difference
from the days of Mark Twain's roughing
it. when he was cub pilot on the river,
from the mouth of the river to the head
of navigation.
Now all of the old fast-line packets are
falling into decay Most of them have
gone already. and there is little doing on
the river except a few coal barges that are
doated down from the Ohio
The next meeting of the commission prob
ably will be at Buffalo. where they will
take one of the lake steamers and 20
through the great lakes to the upper point
Of Superior.
Thence they will go south, probably strik-
ing the headwaters of the Mississippi and
following the stream down, picking up the
President about the mouth of the Ohio and
going down stream with him on his coming
trip west. This plan has not been worked
out yet In any detail, but probably will be
the future plan of the campaign.
