Grand Army Will Observe Monday as
the Day Which Happens to
Fall on Sunday This
Year.
ORDERS ARE ISSUED
Schools Are Asked to Observe the
Friday Before With Programs
Appropriate to the
Occasion.

Because Memorial day, May 80, falls
on Sunday this year, the following
day, Monday, May 81, will be celebrat-
ed by the members of the Grand Army
of the Republic. George A. Newman,
assistant adjutant general of the de-
partment Of Iowa, is mailing to the
post commanders throughout the state
copies of the Memorial day orders
issued by Henry M. Nevins, command
er-in-chief of the Grand Army of the
Republic, and ]. c. Milliman, Iowa de-
partment commander.
The orders state that posts which
have made their arrangements for eX-
erclses on Saturday, May 90, may OBJ
serve that day as Memorial day if the
arrangements cannot be conveniently
changed.
The children of the schools all over
the country will be invited to observe
Friday, May %, by carrying out spec
ial programs which will include patri-
otto songs and recitations and in many
cases addresses by old soldiers.
The address OF Commander-in-chie
Nevins reviews the history of Memo
rial day from its institution by Gen.
eral John A. Logan, then head of the
Grand Army of the Republic. Contin.
uing, it reads as follows:
Teaches Patriotism.
For forty successive years the
Grand Army of the Republic has OBJ
served this day by visiting the silent
camping ground where sleep our com
rades, the nations dead, and honorine
their memory by garlanding their pas
sionateless mounds with flags and
flowers and teaching the lessons Of
patriotism to all who may unite witt
them and to the generation CROWNS
UP around them. Let us this year dc
our full duty to those who died tina
the nation might live, and with tender
hearts and loving hands honor theil
memory.
Upon department and post com
handlers the duty rests of attending
to the fitting observance of the day
earnestly hope and desire that SHOULD
confederate grave be found in an.
camping ground visited by the G.. A
R. that his grave may not be passet
by but that flag and flowers b,
placed upon it. The war is over AM
peace reigns and the old flag float
over all, and though he fell in the los
cause, were he living today he woul'
be found following the flag. Let u
forgive, as the nation forgave his com
rades who survived him"
The orders of the two commander
direct that Lincoln's Gettysburg ad
dress be read at each Memorial da
celebration, and that where G.. A. F
. posts are located on rivers or lakes 0
on the sea coast, the memorial sery
Ices shall include the ceremony O
placing flowers on the water in men

Leighty, the new northern league
shortstop signed by Belt failed to ar
rive yesterday afternoon but will
probably get in this afternoon. If he
arrives this afternoon he will not take
part in tais afternoon exhibition gam :
however, but will rest up after his
trip on the road before being allowed
to get into the game by Belt.
In Leighty, Belt says he has secured
a prize and great things are expected
of this last years northern league
man. Burton. who arrived in the
city several days ago has asked per-
mission to tryout at short and will be
in the game at that position this af-
ternoon. Burton is an outfieder and
a good man but his chances of making
the outfield if he fails at short are not
so good so Belt has about made UP his
mind on the players who will cover
the out garden.

hopes that bad weather would lay off
for a few hours until they had an OPP,
portunity of going against the three

exhibition game of the season.
The team went to the ball park this
morning and were given a good but
not over firing workout, bunting out
the ball and working the kinks of
their arms in couple of hours good
practice. Yesterday afternoon the
players went to the park and for sew

The Rock Island team arrived this

| Belt stated this morning that the
contest this afternoon would no. be
one for supremacy but would afford
him an opportunity of seeing the

CAPTURING AN EAGLE.

M HO, would think that an eagle,
W. the great bird that scars
through the upper air, and
gazes undazzled on the burning sun,
could be captured by a man on horse
back? And yet that is what a traveller
in Turkestan saw done one day. He
was out hunting on horseback. attended
by a native, also mounted, when they
saw in the distance two eagles in the
short grass, apparently feeding on some
prey thai they had found.
The minute the native saw the eagles,
off III darted toward them at the full
speed of his horse. The traveller fol-
lowed at a somewhat slower gait, won
dering what the man intended TO do.
But he was not long in finding out,
The native knew that the birds had
probably gorged themselves on the
carcass they had been eating, and that.
therefore, they would not be able to fly
to a great distance.
As soon as they saw the man riding
toward them, they rose from the
ground. and as they few away across
the plain, he followed their course. One
of them soon showed signs of fatigue.
and a few minutes afterwards down 1t
fell to the ground. That is just what
the man expected, and he rode quickly
up to it and dismounted. Without the
slightest manifestation of fear or hesi-
tation. big and strong as the eagle
was. the man seized il, tore off a sort
of sash tina he wore around his waist
and with it bound the bird tight and
fast.
Thus wrapped about with the sash.
like an Indian papoose bound to its
board, the great bird was perfectly
helpless. and the man tucked 1t under
mis- arm. to carry home as a prize. He
told the traveller that IL 1t proved TO be
a good hawker. he could get a good
price for 1t.

Marry when the year is new,

Your home will be on a foreign shore.

THE day of the week one is born on
is regarded as a fortunate wedding day
for a man. but the reverse for a
woman"
Regarding the dress of the bride. she
must have three rings-a ring on her
finger, a brooch on her heart signifying
maidenly innocence, a garland on her
head signifying the gladness and dig
nifty of wedlock.
The pins used about the wedding
toilet should all be thrown away; if the
bridesmaids keep them they will not
marry before whitsuntide."
Fate is said to be foretold by the hue
of the wedding gown.
Married in white you have chosen
