Decoration Day.

Decoration day and Memorial
day were both observed in due
form by the Grand Army post,
their auxiliarieS and friends gen.
orally. The memorial services
were held at the NJ. E. church on
Sunday afternoon, Rev. Brehm de
livering the sermon. On Monday
morning the comrades and others
repaired to the cemetery where
the graves of the departed defend
erS were duly decorated and the
post services conducted. In the
afternoon the exercises were held
in the park. F. V. Russell Of
this city delivered the address
which was an excellent one. The
day was an ideal one for the oe,

We are inclined to think that the

volumes for the people of the con

Base Ball.

The MillerS have been playing
in a little better form the last
week. They had a bad losing
slump. After breaking even with
Newton here at home they lost
two out of three games at New

at Hutchinson. They then play
ed a series with Wellington at
home, lost the first, won the next
two, and the fourth game was in
progress as We went to press. Fol

the team is away from home for
eight games.
A little change has taken place

back on the team again. The

Premature Explosion.

those interested in the matter and
find as follows:

is 10 truth in the report. That
such move has not been cOntem-
plated, and that the only thing
that has happened or been con-

that the First National bank peo-
pie were dickering with the BrinB

building. This statement is veri-
fled to us by G. L. Chapman, pres

to the Wolf building, We are re-
llably informed that there is a
Prospect of bank building being
erected on this corner. There has
also been some talk of a new banl
being formed here with the Moses
Brothers, the mill concern, at the
head Of it, but Mr.. E. w. Moses
informs us that so far there have
been no definite plans made, nor
anything definite done. If there
is, the public will be given the
information.
