A Thought for Memorial Day.

In few days the war department will
award the contract for 10000 marble
headstones to mark the graves Of confed
crate soldiers and sailors who died in fed
efal military prisons and hospitals dur.
ing the civil war, and who were buried
near the place of confinement A former
south Carolina congressman, Col. Viii
Dam Elliott, who served in the confeder-
ate army, has been appointed the gov.
ernment commissioner to take charge of
tue work. The territory where the
graves are located extends from the
northern boundaries of the country as
Tar south as Santa Fe, and the purpose
y 10 identify the grave Of every prisoner
that can be located.
The greatest idea connected with
Memorial day is that OF nationality pre-
served by people who. move along the
iines oil destiny in patriotic devotion to a
common country. More than half the
armies of the civil war have passed away,
and, counting both armies, over $1,000
veterans year are vanishing from the
muster rolls. Homage to the dead who
acted their part bravely is noble senti-
Hlent, and the soldiers who fell in the
great struggle were as heroic AS any in
history. The great monument that has
been reared is the United States, re.
public so much grander than any other
that i stands in place OF its own. An
undivided country recognizes all its sons
when 1t puts the marble tablets at the
graves OF the thousands of prisoners

The Noon Theory.

We have never believed much in work
ing according to the signs of the moon
says Field and Farm, but if anyone
wants TO experiment and prove whether
there is anything in it or not it is easy Il
determine whether the following the
ories are true. Corn, wheat and othe,
grain and vegetables that bear fruit
above ground should be planted in the
light OF the moon. Potatoes and Other
vegetables that furnish their yield under
ground should be planted in the dark Of
the moon. Lay a board on the ground
and the edges will warp up in the light
of the moon and down in the dark of the
moon. Throw board on the grass in
the dark OF the moon and the grass will
die; in the light of the moon the grass
under the board will grow. Fence posts
in freezing weather will stool out of the
ground but will settle back in the dark
of the moon. A wise farmer, il he wants
to scatter manure over his meadow. will
choose the dark OF the moon to do the
work for then the manure will lie CLOSE
to the ground and will not be raked up
in the hay at harvest time.
An Arapahoe county farmer who
claims to have tried all these expert
mcnts and knows they will work is au-
thority for these suggestions but he will
not allow his name to be used as be

ONE SECRETLY PULLED OFF
few MILES FROM THE CITY
Big Bunch of Sports Take II In With
out knowledge of
The Officers.

Between midnight and daylight
this morning probably at o'clock
brutal dog and cock fights are being
pulled off a few miles from this city
Loaded in autos and wagons a large
bunch of sports were leaving the CITY
for the scene at interals of five and
ten minutes. Every effort to keep
the information from the police and
sheriff is being exercised but that the
promoters will succeed is doubtful.
While nothing can be learned from
the local force there are grounds to
believe that they had some informa-
ton of the proposed fight. Two well
known cocks, one from Wapato and
the other from Ellensburg were seen
in North Yakima Tuesday and it is
suspected they figured in the main
bout this morning. The city was
searched this morning to ascertain
the whereabouts of the dogs and
their owners but at late hour
nothing definite could be learned.
That the fight has been kept secret
there can be no doubt as the first
rumor had not leaked out until the
rigs were seen to leave the city with
a crowd of local sports. When ask
ed by a representative of this paper
what the occasion he was informed
the whereabouts of warmer eli
mate.
Information has been received that
the bull dogs were taken out of town
early last evening in closed rig ana
later on two we'll known out of town
cock fighting men were seen to leave
the city in the direction taken by
the rig containing the dogs, and
while nothing could be learned it is
quite probable that cock fight will
also be pulled off.
