CEMETERY LOOKS BETTER
Careful and Efficient Management i'll
The Cemetery Shows What Good
Work Will DO.

\ visit to Graceland cemetery, our
beautiful silent city, shows much
care and Improvement his year un-
der the competent supervision Of
Arthur Allen. a number of old fen
ces and ratings have been removed,
lots and ave raised or lowered to
conform to grade, according to City
ordinance, the cemetery being ar
ranged on the lawn principle, every
thing green and leveled to grade.
The trees have been carefully trim
med which improves their appearance
and a number of new trees set out.
The North of the East boundry and
the South side about forty feet in
width, also the parking between the
trees on the main driveways; have
been seeded down to lawn grass, the
remainder of the b%oundries plowed
and cultivated to improve the growth
of the trees, five hundred feet OF wat
er pipe put in for convenience in wat
ering lots.
The Ladies Cemetery Association
furnished one hundred feet of best
one mel rubber hose. A number of
very handsome new monuments and
markers have been placed during the
season. The Ladies Cemetery Asso-
citation had all the monuments and
head stones that were loosened by
the neavy rains in the spring reset
on solid foundations and about four
hundred sunken graves filled and
seeded to lawn grass; they also had
TIE West Main driveway gravelled
from the gateway to the cottage, the
driveway at the entrance has been
raised twelve inches and g%ravelled,
a rluch needed Improvement.
Tie ~octagonal cottage has beer
painted pure white with green roof
and the tool house at the west side
painted bronze green. The neatness
and care of the grounds must be seen
to be appreciated.
There are several improvements
in view for next season, one of which
an artificial lake, is of easy construct
ion and would add greatly to the
beauty and fertility of the grounds.
A pressing need is the laying out of
two or three more sections into lots,
as all the choice large lots are sold.
A receiving vault could be construct
ed without great expense, and is an
almost imperative necessity.
The general plan of the grounds
as designed by Mr.. Nutter, the land
scape architect, is capable of great
beauty in development, and a few
years more of care will make Grace
land Cemetery II of the most beau
tiful in the west.

NO CRIMINAL CASES
For The First Time i'll Its History
Lyman County Will Not Try "a
Criminal Case i'll Court.

For the first time in the history
of Lyman county there is not a cri-
minal case to be tried in the circuit
court term. This indicates that the
new settlement that has gone into
that county has had a good effect.
The only case that was to be tried
the defendant pleaded guilty, and
the other case against w. +. Phillips
was dismissed. The latter is an echo
of the cattle rustltng cases and has
been before the court for several
years. 1t vas but a matter of some
six or eight years ago hat the calen-
der was filled with criminal cases,
nos all of them of the cattle rustling
variety, but these have been done
away With through the administers
ton of Judge Frank b. Smith, and
the recent officers of his court. Judge
Smith did not meet with much en-
couragement when he started out on
his campaign TO clean up the cattle
rustling Of Lyman county, and times
without number we're the warnings
he received to desist from his course.
Friends of the cattle rustlers, it is
said, would get into conversation
with Judge Smith and commence to
talk of the shooting ability of the
rustlers and what was in store for
those who became too active ii their
efforts to stop the rustling. Judge
Smith paid no attention to their
threats and went ahead and was not
in the least disconnected. The result
is shown in the almost clean bill of
health at the circuit court term that
is now drawing to a close.

GRAND JURIES ESSENTIAL.

For our part we are glad to see the
grand jury re-instaded in its legal
place in this State, We believe in it,
because it is one element Of local au-
thority and consequence that is re-
spected by the most obdurate and ag-
gressive doer of evil, OF course it
has never been out of reach as an or
ganic institution, but the compulsory
session is renewed and its mantel Of
suggested power is again regularly in
sight and effect.
One good grand jury can do more
to cleanse a community of its ex-
ecresences that any other factor in
the legal regimen; what it does has
the stamp and significance that is
needed to compel a change for the
better not alone in the sphere OF evil,
but in the minds of men grown in
different to gross conditions. We
are too prone to placate our civic
debasement, here as in all other COM
muri:ics, so long as our personal
skirts are clear of the muck and mire
we ignore our franchise to keep the
community up to the decenter stan
dards and pass the responsibility
along to those less inclined to inter
fere than we are. 1t is policy o.
the needless citizen, which costs hin
heavily by indirection in the end, and
which leaves him little to be proud
of at any time, when the moral sta
tus of his city or town is under scru-
tiny, and discussion.

ANOTHER NEW CURE.

NEW YORK, Oct. DIR. lie
Grand N, Denslow created a Juror
among medical men last night by
announcing to representative body
OF physicians at the New York
Academy OF Medicine that he had
discovered an absolute cure for
locomotor ataxia, DR.. Denslow read
paper describing the results OF his
ten years study OF the disease and
cited thirty cases in all OF which a
successful cure had been effected
DR.. Denslow's claims were endors-
ed by DR.. John A. Wyeth and other
prominent physicians. DR., R. H.

WHAT DOES 1T MEAN.

Mr.. Hearst said at Salem, ILL.,, some
time ago that the name Democracy
no longer had any distinct meaning,
and he spoke the truth. For nearly
half century the Democratic party
has been trying to forget its past and
every four years it has made a new
platform and tried to square most of
the past. That party was opposed to
National Banks and then to public
improvements at the hand of the
Federal government, insisting that
the Constitution conferred no such
power on Congress to provide for
them by law. They then declared
the war to be a failure. They took up
the greenback and fiat money issue
only to drop it after a few years op-
Grafton. They were in favor of free
trade, then of free silver and then
back to free trade again.
But to-day the two most conspicu-
Gus leaders of that party, Mr.. Bryan
and Mr.. Hearst, have gone over to
the Socialists and Populists for their
political doctrines and both favor
government ownership, not only oi
railroads, but all public utilities. The
name Democrat has in truth lost it,
meaning. 1t represents simply aglta'
ton, if the voices of these two lead
ers speak for the party which names
them as those who have a right tc
speak by authority.
] If the majority Of the people are
looking for novelties in government
they should vote the Democratic tick
ct. If they are looking for agitation
and revolution they should vote fo
William J. Bryan. But if th'
people are looking for stability ant
peace with prosperity, they shoult
vote for the party and the men wh'
stand for stability against revolu
ton, for peace and prosperity agains
agitation and adversely. The Repub
lican party of to-day stands for tn
same policies that it did forty year
ago, and Mr.; Taft is just the sam
kind of Republican that Abraham
. Lincoln was.

DESTRUCTION OF PICKLES.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-Lots OF
New York children may have to go
without pickles this winter owing to
a fire that occurred last night at
Hicksville, L. |. At 8 o'clock flames
were discovered in the big pickle
factory OF Alert and Mcguire and
despite the frantic efforts Of the vii
layers the entire plant, said to be one
of the largest in the country, was de-
stroyed.
Forty tons of sauerkraut was roast
ed to black cinders. Thirty tons OF
pickles, averaging 100000 pickles to
the ton or 100000 pickles in all
were destroyed. The savory smell OF
hot sauerkraut and pickles was diff
fused all over that part OF Long
Island. The fire lighted up the sky
for miles around.
Half a dozen lawyers who were
trying case before the magistrate
of Hicksville, rushed out of the
court room and, aided by citizens
aided in pushing one whole carload
of pickles out Of the factory shed
and to a place Of safety. The loss
was estimated at 100000, partly GOV.
cred by insurance.

SITUATION CLEARED.

The failure OF the Northwestern
Long Distance Telephone Company
to accept the franchise it sought, and
was granted, by the Common Council
of Astoria, clears the situation of the
threat of a dual service and leaves
the measure Of amendment in this
utility strictly up to the Pacific States
Telephone Company; and luckily for
all concerned, that company is dong
its level best to meet the demands
made upon it and all promises made
in return; and if by the first OF jan
uary the new and modern system
shall be in operation here under its
auspices, as is now certain, Astoria
will be on par with the best in this
direction,
Without prejudice to either COM
pany, it is a proven aggregation to
attempt to maintain two services OF
this character in one community; the
employment of one makes the use OF
the other imperative on the score OF
business convenience and doubles the
cost of the utility, beside hampering
the despatch desired OF it. As to the
qualities of the respective services,
that is a matter of personal prefer
ence. XIV Mss
The cool indifference OF the North
western people in this premise, will
without doubt act as barrier to any
new effort it shall ever make to get
a footing in this city.Upon the face
of it, it has acted in a negligible fash
ion from the very start, and has COM
mitted itself to conviction in the
popular mind here that it was simply
stalling the people and cared very lit
tie, if anything, for the concession
granted it; policy it will be well tc
remember if it shall seek entrance
here in the future. A public fran
chise Of such value is worth better
consideration than it has received al
the hands of these people, who have
not even taken the trouble to commu
nicate with the authorities in regard
to it and their purposes.

FROM WITHIN THE RANKS.

The National Model License
League of America, one of the most
powerful combinations of the liquor
factors in the country, a massed and
organic group of distillers, brewers
and wholesalers, representing the
rank and file of the industry all over
the nation, is out with strong and
urgent letter to the retail trade, to
the saloonman, insisting upon rad
ical change in the manner OF conduct
ing the business everywhere, in or
der that it may not be utterly oblit-
Grated by the prohibition and local
option movements that are sweeping
the land.
It is a straightforward bid for the
rehabilitation of the business, Tor the
severance of the saloon from the gam
