Memorial Day Observed.

Memorial Day was fittingly and patri-
Otically observed in this city. The day
was ideal and there was a large crowd
at Oak Hill cemetery to witness the
ceremonies and listen to the address de-
hvered by Rev. n. G.. Danieil. The pro-
cession formed at 1:30 D. m. at the corner
of Main and North First streets in the
following order:
Watertown Military Band.
Kruger-V
Cd. Pease Post No. No. 81, G. A, r.
Veterans in Carriages.
Woman's Relief Corps.
School Children.
City Officials in Carriages.
In this order they marched to the Gem
etery to the solemn music played by the
Military band, the sidewalks upon either
side of the street being thronged with
people vending their way to the silent
city of the dead" to pay tribute to the
departed veterans and the loved ones
gone before.
The ritualistic service of the Grand
Army of the Republic were held at the
grave of Henry Hose, the last member of
the local post to pass away. General
order No, II issued by Commander-in-
chief John A. Logan instituting mem
orial services was read by Past Post
Commander W. D. Sproesser. LincOln's
Gettysburg address was read by Alva
Soldner and very appropriate address
delivered by Rev. n. c. Daniel, pastor of
the Congregational church, the vocal
music being rendered by school children
under the direction Of Prof. Flynn and
the instrumental music by the Military
Band under the leadership of Prof.
Wheeler.

The Old Controversy.

The statement last week, that the
hearing of the eectric light matter be-
fore the state rate commission was post
poned because the city was not prepared
to present its case, was an error in
statement, for the city was prepared,
but the commission asked for time to
examine the report Of an expert filed by
the city, which the commission would
use in fixing the price of lighting That
the controversy between the city and
the WatertOwn Gas & Electric Co. should
have been settled long ago, none will
deny and a fair, just rate fer service
fixed but the fault is not upon the part
Of the city authorities.

their friends of the good time they had

to stand up in these days
The audience wants real plays from
$50 until IL o'clock. and not sleepy one
act plays and an orchestra playing the
worst selections from popular musical
comedies-that is what is making the
difference in the theater.
