Hawkins and Altman, the contractors
who built the stone road through Jor-
dan township, between Rensselaer, and
Remington. have sued the county for
$39S.41. The contract price was s12.-
537. This amount the contractors re-
ceived but although the commissioners
allowed the amount in sum aggregat-
ing the total as recommended by the
engineer during the fall, the money
was not paid until April Is, 1907. The
plaintiffs wish to recover the 6 per
cent of the s per cent inter
est which they had to pay on bor-
rowed money during the time that
elapsed from the completion of the
work until the above date.
The attorneys and all the witness es
in the Horace Marble drainage hear
ing, after adjournment of court Thurs
day evening went home, realizing that
they did not have the necessary two
thirds Of farm owners signatures on
the petition. This means that this
mammoth drainage proposition is now

AS. the Tribune understands it, the
matter is now in the hands of the city
council, whose duties will be many and
perplexing While the vote was en-
phatic for the building, the council
needs only one ear to ascertain that the
peope are equally as emphatic to tbs
effect that the expense OF the structure
including every detail, be kept within
the $40, 900. 1t can be done, and at the
same time building that would reflect
with lasting credit to Mineral Point be
provided. What novelty it would be
in the way of handling public funds
if those in charge complete the task
thoroughly and well and have balance
of the amount designated for the pur-
pose left for the treasury.

Hon. Calvert Spensley's introduction
of Mr.. Fielder had the right ring for
the occasion and took well with his
hearers.
It has been said, and truly, that no
human tongue can add anything to the
silent gratitude, the speeches. rever-
ence, already given by great and
grateful nation to its dead defenders
and to their living kin and comrades;
that humanity and time remain their
everlasting debtors. Such is but Just.
Yet these yearly recurring memorial
days serve well to renew and brighten
the grandeur of this spirit of gratitude
and reverence.

Memoris! Day 1907.

The annual occcasio9 when we look
back into the bloody COS and bring our
need of tribute, not only to the living
but also to the quiet dead, is now an
event of the past 50 far as 1907 is con-
cerned. 1t was last Thursday. AS val
ued exchange says:
at is unique, this Memorial day.
Other nations have had their wars and
heroes, but there is nothing else in the
work pike this day of ours, when, year
aftei gear and decade after decade. we
cease from active business life, when
we send our school children out with
fluttering flags and martial songs, when
we bring roses and wreathes to lay up
on shaded graves, and when we cheer
with lump in our Threats at the ever
dwindling, ever more tottering column
in parade.
at is an indissoluble part of our ma
tional life. 1t makes one the nation and
its history; it teaches our hildren the
compact glory of an undivided union; it
makes US better patriots because it has
stirred our patriotism for all these forty
wears, and better men and women be-
cause it never yet has failed to touch
our hearts.
Every feature of the well arranged
program of services in Mineral Point
was thoroughly carried out. The morn
ing was devoted to the decorating OF
graves. In the afternoon procession
with band in the lead was formed in
front of city hall, composed of army
veterans, members of the w. X. c.,
school children and citizens. A striking
feature, and one which inculcates Q
lasting patriotism in the hearts of the
rising generation, was the hundreds OF
boys and girls in line, regardless OF
creed or nationality, each bearing the
emblem of the free and home of The
brave.
