have to omit from his itinerary, but on the whole
he will have obtained mental moving picture OF

AS has been limited above. 1t is the battlefield
and not the Memorial day exercises which throng
Gettysburg at the end of May each year. Some
years the program incident to Decoration day is
of a very simple character and there not as
many graves to be decorated might he supposed
by the person not conversant with the compare
lively small number of marked graves on Gettys-
burg battlefield. Yet there are other occasions
when the exercises at Gettysburg focus the eyes
of the entire country. This is the when the
president of the United States delivers the ad-
dress of the day at Gettysburg, as President Taft
did couple of years ago, as President Roosevelt
did before him, and almost all of presidents
have done In their day since that memorable occa-
sion when President Lincoln dedicated the Get
tyshurg battlefield cemetery with an address
which has gone down into history the most
eloquent the most impressive and the most en-
during of the many tributes pronounced by the
martyr president.
The audience which faces president or other
public man at Gettysburg invariably impresses
the distinguished orator. 1t is an assemblage
obviously made up largely of the farming class
and it is apt To be less demonstrative than the
applaudng crowds that are encountered in factory
towns. but 1t is a body of men and women who
pay such close attention to the address of which
they are auditors and who so manifestly repre-
sent the sober, solid intelligent sentiment of our
national community as to inspire the best efforts
of the speakers. 1t is in the character of these
Gettysburg audiences as well as in the inspira-
uon Of the historic surroundings that we may
ind the incentive to the significant utterances'

MIR. o. E. LOVES FATHER DEAD.
Prominent Macon County Citizen
Dies at Ripe Old Age.

Mr.. o. E. Lowe went to Buena Wis
ia Tuesday night to attend the funer-
al of his father, Col. ]. H. Lowe,
whose death occurred that night.
The following concerning the pass
ing of Col. Lowe is taken from the
Macon County Citizen:
Col. Lowe sank into his final
sleep while sitting in a rocking chair
on the front porch of the Lowe Hotel,
of which he was proprietor. He was
rs years of age the 5th of May and
is survived by his wife and six chill
dren.
Col. Lowe was a confederate vet
eran, and true southern gentleman,
courteous, kindly, brave-the very
soul of honor. He hated hyporicy.
He loved frankness, candor and sim
certify. He was always true to his
convictions, and free from the spirit
of boastfulness. He practiced no de-
ceptions and knew nothing of con-
cealment and what he believed to be
right he did
THE funeral services were con-
Quoted at the Lowe Hotel Wednesday
afternoon, and the body was inferred

Stirred Things Up.
The grand jury has stirred things
up worse than any other grand jury
ever did, and put on the lid tighter
than it was ever before put on. They
have administered reform in heroic
doses.
Not content with going out after
tigers, and having the nigh berries
closed on the grounds OF being pub
lie nuisances, they gave the mer-
chants who had slot machines in
their stores a jolt and called two
druggists to taw for selling cigar
cites to minors. Those who were
indicted for operating slot machines
were J. NJ Berry, Ward & Johnson,

In addition to the proceedings to |
close their places as nuisances the |
near beer dealers were also indicted |
for selling higher grades of beer than |
are lawful under the prohibition act. |

Activity of Recent Grand Jury Put
a Crimp in Sunday Selling.

Sunday was a genuine Sahara in
Dawson, so far as the soda founts
were concerned, and lucky was the
dope tfend who who was thoughtful
enough to provide himself with an
oasis at home on Saturday night.
AS a result of the activities of the
recent grand jury in returning in
dictments against persons for various
infractions of the law proprietors of
the drug stores on Saturday night
cut off the carbonated waters, hid
the glasses and closed the cigar cases,
and none of the druggists opened
their doors Sunday except to fill a
few prescriptions for the sick.
