 At East Woodstock Rev. T. A. Turn. CT delivered an address on Sunday and the soldiers graves were decorated Monday morning at $50. In Thompson the customary pro- gram was observed Monday. Eastfosd.
 At Eastford the Memorial Day exer. eises were more elaborate than usual, with a full printed program, and were made doubly interesting by the ad- dresses of two Civil War Veterans, who could "speak from the book" and were impressive, as the short outline we give clearly indicates. The people of Eastford were greatly pleased with the interesting addresses.
 The exercises at the church closed with the address of John Mckinley of New London. He spoke without notes for half an hour, referring to the war of the sixties, the causes and results as viewed from today's stand-point-the general feeling of the South as being contest with the situation--a united country.
 In speaking of the Spanish war, he gave, as his opinion, the benefits de- rived therefrom were valuable coast defences and suitable army to man the large guns, and grand navy.
 The speaker claimed that the natural position of Japan was friendliness to- wards the United States, and therefore there Is no fear between that nation and ours.
 All through his address there was a spirit of hopefulness, devoid of boast ing, but one of calm confidence.
 He was listened to with rapt atten- tion by frank and file, land at the close the audience found themselves in Q pleasant frame 0f mfna.
 Preceded by the band, which showed remarkable proficiency, the procession matched from the church to the ceme- tery, where Hon. G. A. Hammond, of Putnam, made an address, which the following outline indicates must have thrilled his audience
 It gives me pleasure to address the men. women and children of Eastford and vicinity on this Memorial day of our glorious month of May; when all nature is in it's finest attire; the bios somed. laden apple trees, ,lilacs and wis terias. whose fragrance fill the air wiih sweetest perfume. while the ni7ds ear ol in their loudesf strain the praise Of their being in this beautiful world.

Lyon. To the border states all turned anxious eyes tn 1881, fer 1t was justly perceived that their behavior might turn the course of events at this criti cal moment. The United States Arse. nal at St. Louis was in charge of Capt Nathaniel Lyon, native of Eastford Conn.,, who was graduated from West l Point in ls4l, and served with distinc- ] ton in Mexico and California. The ] Union owed Missouri to the prompt ness of Lyon, who with intuition of genius seemed to know just when 10 hs impetuous. So rapid and we'll direct ed were his dashing attacks that he i, gave the governor, Claiborne Jackson, no time to complete his plans for talk. ing the State out of the Union. Gov ernor Jackson had gathered twelve hundred Confederate troops in camp of instruction near St. Louis, but Lyon bounced on them, taking them all prisoners in thirty minutes. At this the Secretary of War, Mir. Cameron, promoted Captain Lyon to Brigadier General.
 Gov. Jackson called on all loyal Missoarians to rally to the flag of the state and il has been wittily said that Gen. Lyon was the first; for the very next day he started for the Capital, Jefferson City, with three thousand collected troops drove Jackson from the city, and pursuing, defeated him at Boonville.
 The wasering loyalty of Missouri was stiliened by this energetic action, and the state was saved. Lyon waited only 10 put his force in marching order to set forth for Springfield. Two deep rivers lay in his way, but notwithstanding he marched two hum dred miles in eleven days, aceomp- leshing the last fifty miles in the incredible time of twenty-four hours. Price and Mccullough gathered a large army and threatened Lyons 1 force.
 l Outnumbered but not dismayed he l planned a night attack on the enemy < camp al Wilson's Creek, and there, with five thousand against their twenty-three thousand. fought one of the fiercest and most skilfully ma naged battles of the war. l Lyon's horse was killed and he was wounded three times.
 l With the cry, "Come on my brave men will lead youn he led the lasl charge and fell where the hero seeks tt fall.
 General Lyon's body was sent North In each city on the homeward route his body lay in state, St. Louis, Gin. cinnati, Philadelphia, New York and Hartford.
 !, At last in his own home, Eas'ford thousands of mourners thronged tc pay him the last tribute.
 The cortege from the citylof Willi. mantic'covered m three s:the speaker :; among the number.
 A battery of Regular Artillery WAS the Military escort and with the many thousands present was a day not to be l forgotten.

President Taft seems to be on the go every spare moment he has from off. ciaI duties. He makes great speeches large and small every week, and gets rest, apparently, playing golf and lick. ing the other fellow, or ehee ring al a b ise-ball game. He grows gre afer and greater daily, in the estimation of all the people, at the South as well AS the North. He eapiivates by his manner and methods, and yet stands as firm in his convictions as did President Roose- xeit. The country has great Presi- ant in William fl. Taft.

False Report of Fatality

A report was circulated In this city i, Monday, that Y. A. Maryott had struck and killed man at Dayville Four.cor- ners. It was the chief topic of conver- sation all Of the afternoon. Those who knew MT. Maryott could not credit the story, as they knew he was n careful driver. Expressions Of regret were heard on ai sides.
 On Tuesday morning, when II was learned that the story was false, there was general feeling of relief.
 The story was started as related in The following statement;
 Mir. Matyotl was going slowly along between the hotel and raifead tracks in Dayville. A hack came along and he shut of ali power to let it 70 by. As he rolled along around the corner, there was crowd of men staEding in the road. They all moved aside except one old gentleman, a cripple and could not get out of the way. Mir. Mafyott stopped the machine just as he reached the man, who put out his hand to rest it on the front of the machine, and sank to the ground.
 The machine had not touched him. MT. Maryott put him in the machine and took him home and summoned . doctor, who found no injuries except for little scratch on the knee where he went down. Later, the man told Mir. Maryott he did not need doctor ns he had not been hurt. Those who saw the incident do not blame Mir. Ma ryoti for the accident, If It can be so called

 The great and important event the coming week will be the "June Carni- val. v to be held next Monday after noon, commencing with whist enter tainment at the home of Mir. and Mrs. Richard German. All who desire to be present are heartily wei come. The ladies of the Woman,s Board oi the Day kimball Hospital, have, with their volunteer assistants, lahored as- sidaously for weeks to make the Car niyal not only attractive but joyous affair to all classes of people--young and old. The Carnival Is for human itarian ohject--to aid in providing funds for the support of the Day Kim ball Hospital--an institution so ably managed and generously cared for that 1t has won State wide reputation for the noble work it has accomplished. 1t is hard to conceive how this part of the State could dispense with its services, or even have them diminished. It's usefulness Is expanding, and conse- quently its expenses are increasing in proportion, both In the need of enlarge ment and it's daily current expenses. The ladies, on whom the responsible fly rests for providing the extra means required for the support of the Hospi- tai, eontidingly rely on the friends who have hitherto so freely and generously encouraged and supported them in eS- cry appeal made for the Hospital, that their labots have been . service of plea sure.
 This new appeal of June Carnival they make in the full assurance of the same loyal and generous assistance to make Il success, peeuniarily, as favored every previous appeal. They are compelled, in sense, to resort to entertainments of various character. In this instance IL k an outdoor fctc, designed to delight all classes of our citizens while aiding the good work Tn view. If every friend of the Hospital will heartily :labor to make it joyous 1t cannot fail in it's main purpose, and will be an reward for labor and saeri- fees made by the ladies of the Wo. volunteer assistants.
 The Carnival will he held on Grove street--well suited for such joyous
 affair, being one of our fine residential
 streets--which will be handsomely de. corated within the zone of the Cafni.
 val. The citizens on the line will all do their utmost to promote the success ] of the pageant, by aiding to tranfofm the street into a fairy scene.
 The evening illumination will be on brilliant scale and help greatly to in- crease the dazzling scene, and create joyous excitement and delight. There will be parade of boy fantas- tics, dressed in varied grotesquc cos- tunes. This will take place between and o'clock, under the charge Of Rev. John Walker.
 After the parade there will be an open-air concert on the lawn of Judge Russell, followed by dancing, and re- freshmenfs will be served.
 Supper will be served at the John- son home, opposite School street, on Grove street, after 5 o'clock.
 Refreshments will be served a. va- rious booths along the line.
 There will be a rummage sale at 156 Grove street. Articles for the sale may be left with Mrs. If. NJ. Morse or Mrs. Wallace Whitney, who have charge.

MEMORIAL DAY IGNORED
SPLENDID SERVICES.
s.ie. Brisht-r.ople Periodically Ava,

Everything seemed combined, thi. year to make Memorial Day deligh, toithe hearts of the Veterans. Int weather was perfect for the occasion Crowds of well.dressed people came into the city from all quarters. Moth ing was lacking to make Memorial Day long to be remembered.
 The observances began on Sunday when the Veterans of A. c. Warner Post, in military ranks, marched from their hall to the Baptist church, a large body of friends accompanying them filling the church to repletion.
 Rev. Welcome E.. Bates, of Mystic, preached the Memorial Sermon, which greatly rejoiced the hearts of the old soldiers, who have not ceased to speak in it's praise, and of the qualification 1, afforded them.
 The Address at the Cemetery was also delivered by Rev. MT. Bates, and was impressive and heartily apprecia. jed by the immense crowd of listeners, who had assembled there 10 do honor to the living as well the dead heroes.
 The procession from lthe Square to the cemetery was full as large as any time within the past few years, but ten of the Veterans who marched in the ranks last year to decorate the graves of their dead comrades, were lying be- side the sleeping ones, and had their graves decorated.
 The Knights of King Arthur acted as escort to A. C. Warner Post both Sunday and Monday.
 Dinner was served in the A. 0. II :. hall at l2 o'clock by the Woman's Re lief Corps. This Is one of the many ser vices which the Relief Corps renders that is gratefully appreciated by the Veterans.
 At the Catholic cemetery the exer' cises were, as usual, of an impressive character. Rev. Fr. Van den Noorl received the Veterans, and made ths Memorial Address with much senti ment and patriotic fervor.

to the Christian Church to hear
a sermon by Rev. John Oliver in
commer1oration of the goth An
niversary of American Odd Eel
lowship. The text Gen. 4-9, Ro-
mans 14-7, was handled in a mas
terly manner and was greatly ap-
preciated by the general public
as we'll as by The Odd Fellows
and Rebekahs. Rev. Hainer of
Camp Crook S. D. also assisted
in the services. The different
branches of the Order were well
represented, the Rebekahs espe-
cially presented fine appearance
and turned out with a strong de-
legation. Canton Custer, in full
dress uniform with two-thirds of
it's entire membership in line,
presented a spectacle seldom seen
outside the large cities and when
we learn that this Branch of the
Order wears the same uniform
throughout the world, and has
Cantons in nearly every country
on the globe we cease to wonder
at the pride and interest taken
by its members in this, the great
est modern Fraternity in the
world.
In the afternoon the Canton

long practice march and drill.

Quoted at the church, Pev. Hal

MARMARTH WANTS
LAND OFFICE

Some time ago petitions were
sent out from Marmarth asking
that the Department of the In
terror create a new land district
to be known as the ''Marmarth
Land District" with the Office at
Marmarth. The people at Mar
marth who are seeking the es-
tablishnent of this office have
started out by trying to segre-
gate the Lennon, Dickinson and
Miles City districts and if their
petition is granted Ekalaka will
come in the new district. The
following is the proposed new
district:-
Beginning on the state line be-
tween North Dakota and Mon
tana where the line between
Dawson and Custer counties in
tersects the state line; thence
west along the county line about
SO miles; thence south to the
Wyoming state line, about 1856
miles; thence east to the line of
South Dakota; thence north along
the state line to North Dakota;
thence east along state line to
the line between ranges 100 and
lO1; thence north IS miles;
thence west to the Montana line;
thence north to point of begin
ming.
Petitions Of relnonst~aHce were
sent from this and ether tcrritOr-
les in the proposed new district
giving numerous reasons why we
should still remain in the Miles
City district and it is hoped by
nearly everyone in this territory
that the petition asking for the
new district will be turned down.
The Miles City land Office is in
every way capable Of handling
this territory and the men who
look after the affairs Of that Of
iicc have aiwrHS been Hrown to
be just and o5li;sinG in their en-
deavors to serve the many pco-
pie who have been obliged to call
at that office. The Eagle for one
is not in favor Of the creating of
this new district, for the reason
that we do not believe there is
any special need of it at this
time.
