Decoration Day.

Decoration day dawned rather
cloudy and threatening, but des-
pite the fact at 10 o'clock quite a
crowd had gathered to form in
procession TO go to the cemetery
where exercises were held and
the graves of the dead were dec
GRATED. Flowers were scarce,
but many sent away for floral
tributes.
The Wa-Keeney band furnished
music for the day, and the boys
certainly deserve praise, under
the efficient leadership of Mr.
Steinberger they are doing some
good work
By noon the clouds lifted some
what and a pretty fair sized
crowd was in town, however we
heard it said that there were
fewer people in town this Decor
alton day than had been for many
years.
At 2 O'Clock exercises were
held in the court room. The
platform was draped in flags, the
usual decorations being used.
All of the exercises were excel
lent, and the music furnished by
the quartet was a plea sing feat
ure of the program.
E. A. Rea, of Hays, was speaker
of the day. His address was full
of interest from beginning to
end. Mr. Rea proved himself an
orator of considerable ability, the,
audience expressed themselves
as well pleased with his effort.
After another selection by the
quartet the program was brought
to close.
Many private homes as well as
business houses were decorated
with flags and bunting and all
places of business were closed
the greater part of the day.
Patriotism is fire that burns
in every human breast, and we
are glad to see it demonstrated
among the coming generation.
Long may it live, and may this
generation be taught that it is a
privilege to honor the Grand
Army of the Republic with fitting
recognition each Decoration day.

The quartette, Friendship, Love

ner most pleasing to the audience
after which Professor Niesley
presented Rev. F. S. Blas ney,
Phi, of Abilene, whose address
on "Skill, the Demand of the
Age held the audience spell
bound. Rev. Blayney is a man
of much personal magnetism and
it has been a long time since a
class or an audience has had the
pleasure of listening to an adj
dress OF SO much interest and in
StructiOn. He proved beyond a
doubt that the skillful worker is
the one who best succeeds in all
branches of life. Mrs. G. D.
Smith, the county superinten-
dent, in a few well chosen re-
marks presented the diplomas
to the graduates. She spoke of
the efficient work that had been
done in the High School this
year. Professor Nies1ey's work
has certainly been thorough and
he deserves much credit for the
satisfactory way in which the
Trego County High School work
is being carried on. He is an
able man for the place which he
fills and is assisted by an able
corp of teachers, each doing
their part in a way most satisfac
tory to the public. The school
be also complimented
on their wise course in connec-
ton with this important work.
The Fairyland chorus was the
last musical number and was so
pretty that the audience was
when it ended. Rev.
Scott pronounced the benedic-
ton which closed one of the most
successful graduation exercises
ever held in Trego county.

WHERE IS ANDREWs?.
Topeka Negro Who May Know About
Mecklin Shooting.

| Zimri Andrews, whose home is in
North Topeka. and who it is believed
knows the name of the negro who
shot and seriously wounded Captain
Edgar A Macklin of the Twenty-f1fth
infantry at Fort Reno. Oklahoma, two
weeks ago, is being sought by the
United States marshal.
Andrews was formerly member of
company A, Twenty-fifth infantry, but
was discharged and has since been
employed by State Senator J. B. Belts
on-his contracts. Andrews was sought
by a detective agency in Oklahoma
City and finally traced here. He was
taken in charge by the detective de-
tailed on the work and after being
'sweated" for a half a day in the Of
flee of United States District Attorney
Bone was released.
At that time Andrews, it was be-
lieyed. might be. connected with the
shooting. but he told such a straight
forward story that it was found inn
possible to connect him with the af-
fair. In addition the fact that he
had been discharged from service
while at Fort Riley and had never ac-
companied the regiment to Texas or
Oklahoma established his innocence of
any direct connection with the shoot
ing. He was then discharged. Later
a telegram was received by the au-
thorities in Topeka to re-arrest An
drews because it was believed that he
knew who had done the shooting. An
officer went to Andrews home but 1t
was stated that Andrews had gone to
Washington, D. c. Further investiga-
ton revealed the fact. however. that
a trunk checked to La Junta, Colo
RADIO. was at the Santa depot and that
it belonged to Andrews. With this in
formation the police at La Junta were
instructed to watch for Andrews. Thus
far he has not been caught. Lieuten-
- -, g--G
try has left Fort Reno for Topeka to
aid the local authorities here.

PErRIFTED FOREST RESERVE.
President Sets Aside 80 Sections of
Land in Arizona.

President Roosevelt's proclamation set
ting aside thirty sections of land and
the petrified forests of Gila and Apache
counties, Arizona, as the "petrified
forest national monument have been
received here.
The proclamation, which is based
upon an act of congress of June 8, 1906.
states that the Mesozoic forests, COM
monty known as the petrifed forests,
ARE of the greatest scientific interest
and value and it appears that the pub
lie good would be promoted by the re-
serving of those deposits of fossilized
wood as a national monument with as
much land as may be necessary for the
proper protection thereof"

He Has Punctured His Own Boom

one of his first acts was to puncture
his boom for speaker of the house.
81 am for Stannard for speaker"
said Mr.. Ham. Mr.. STANDARD already
has 81 pledged votes. Mr.. Leland, I
think. will have about 26. 1 consider
that Mr.. Simmons will have about the
same strength that Leland has"
Mr.. Ham was one of the leading
members of the last house of repre-
sentatives, and in case of STANDARDS
election to the office of speaker, he
will in all probability be given the
craftsmanship of the judiciary com
mittee or some other equally impor-
tant post He served with Judge Ben
son on the judiciary committee at the
last session.

rERR1LL IS HEARD FROM.
Charges the Supreme Court With
Libelfng Him.

Ira N. Terrill has petitioned the SUI
preme court to reopen the case against
him on the docket of the court, which
is known as No. 1879. TerrHl also en-
closes in his application a personal let
ter to Chief Justice Johnston, in which
he says that he canot and will not rest
under the libelous statements which
the court used in its opinion in his case.
/ Terrill bases his application for re-
opening of his case on the ground that
the Judgment rendered was procured
by fraud practiced upon the court by
the counsel for the other side. He
charges that they introduced in evil
dence false and forged documents.
