 ADDRESS
At the Dedication of the Gettys.
 burg Cemetery

This address was delivered bv PIesi- dent Lincoln on November 19. 1883, at the dedication of the Gettysburg osme. tery. It was not intended e an oration. Lincoln's part was to pronounce the formal words of dedication. He wrote them on 6 sheet of foolscap paper in such odd moments as he could com. mand. The spssck is part of the ritual istio work of the Grand Army of the Republic for the observance of Decora. tion Day, and is framed in many school houses drought the country. Because of its appropriateness. the speech is given here in full:
 "Fourscors and seven years sgo, our fathers brought forth on this continent . now nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are en. gagged in great civil war, testins wheth. CT that nation, or any nation % con. ceived and SO dedicated, can long endure. We are met on great battlefield of that war. We hays come to dedicate por- ton of that field as . final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether 1 fitting and proper that ws should do this. But in larger senss. we can not | dedicate, vs can not consscrsts, we can not hailow this ground. The brave men. living aud dead, who struggled here, have ronsecrated it far above our poor power to add or dstract. The world will little note. nor long rsmem. Der, what we say here. but 1t can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far 60 nobly ad. vancsd. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us, that from these honored dead we take encreased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion, that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation, under God, shall have 6 new birth of freedom, and that government of the people. by the people. for the people shall not perish from the earth"

SUICIDE AT OLYMPIC MINES
Miner Blows His Brains Out With a Rifle, Pulling the Trigger
 With His Toe

A siokenine report was brought into town by Fred Strickland, Monday, of the suicide which took place at the Olympic Mines. Sunday, May 25.
 J. s. Brew. miner, had recently gone to the camp near Wosdsky. looking for work, and arrived there in a nervous condition. the result ot @ protracted jag. He did not regain his normal condition, and was given a room and all possible care by the men at the camp. A purse was also raised with which to aend the sick man back to Douglas.
 Sunday morning Charley Smith was talking to Brew, leaving him at about nine o'clock. About an hour afterwa d one of the men went into the room and found Brew lying upon the bed, gaping wound In his head and his blood and brains strswn about. A rife lying upon and across the unfortunate mans feet and the wound in the forehead told the rest of the horrible story. Brew had probably suffered an attack of temporary insanity and ended his life while in that condition.
 Fred Strickland came to town ss soon as possible to inform the proper author ities, but there being no coroner here at the time, returned to camp. As the oc- currence wss clear case of suicide, an inquest will not be necessary.
