Repair the Park Fountain.

The fountain in the center of Lou
!slana Square has been out of COM
mission for more than two months,
since the iron geese from which the
water spouted were twisted off by
unknown Yandals during the night,
and the basin is filled with stagnant
water, offering a fine breeding place
for mosquitoes.
Some effort should be made to re-
pair the damage to the fountain
and place it in operation again, and
the attention of the mayor and coun-
eli is respectfully directed to the mat

Memorial Day in Hurley was Oh
served by the citizens as usual. The
day was beautiful except taat a
strong wind blew which interfered
somewhat with the program. The
platform was erected Oh Mon
roe street between the Emiel
Brauch and H Martinson residences.
Commander Carr had charge Of the
program and J b. Gorton was mar
shall of the day.
At one O'Clock the parade beaded
by the Hurley band formed at the
g. A. X. Hall. The Philippine SOL
dlers acted as guard to the speaker
Of the day, Chas NJ Day, Of Sioux
Sioux Falls, and his escort. Follow
ing them came the little boys in the
military drill in charge of Mrs. Fitch
and the girls in the flag drill in
charge Of Belva Barlle Then
the Post, the W. X. c., the Odd Eel
lows and the scho children in
charge Of Prof Peters and Mr.. Iar-
rigle, and the citizens in carriages.
The program was carried out as
advertised. The roll call Of the dead
was called by Adjutant Sanborn, Ed
Buker acting as drummer. Special
features were a solo by Loren Stod-
dard and reading by Mrs jackson
both of which were we'll received.
The address Of the day was given
by Editor Day of the Argus-Leader.
1t was Mr.. Days first appearance as
an orator to most of the audience
and he made very favorable inn
preston. His words were we'll
chosen and his voice reached all al
though the wind made out door
speaking rrther difficult. Mr.. Day
is an optomist and he believes that
the world is growing better and that
the work Of our fathers in the great
war is being carried forward by pa
triots living today. The old soldiers
deserve the best we can give them
and we show our regard by making
our world better and cleaner. He
quoted from the poets quite freely
in honor of the flag and our country.
The closing number on the pro-
gram was a military and flag drill
