WILL OBSERVE
MEMORIAL DAY
APPROPRIATE

Memorial day, May 80, this year
falls on Sunday, consequently the ex
ercises will occur on Monday. The re-
gular Memorial sermon, however, will
be delivered On Sunday by Reverend II.
P. Jordan at the German Evangelical
church and the members of the G. A.
R., Spanish War veterans, w. R. c.,
Sons of Veterans and the Auxiliary to
the Sons of Veterans will gather at the
post hall and go to the church.
Monday, May 81. will be great day
in honoring the soldier dead in the
Baraboo cemeteries. At $50 the line
of march will assembly at the G. A. r.
hall and will include besides members
of the above mentioned organizations,
the city officers and others. The chill
dren are also invited to march. After
decorating the graves the return to the
city will be followed by dinner in the
G. A. r. hall served by the w. R. e..
From IL to 1905 the bells throughout
the city will be tolled and the flags will
be at half mast as mark Of respect
for the hOnored dead
At 200 p. m. all will go to the Meth
odist church where Judge r. G. Sic
becker of the supreme court will de-
liver the address of the day.
Possibly the most impressive and
most lasting influence concerning a
Memorial day effort is made on the Fri
day before May 80 in connection with
the schools. Some 20 years ago there
began, on small scale through
out the country, the custom of send
ing one or more soldiers to such
of the public schools az desired them
to talk to the children. It was not
long after that the custom became gen
eral so that for ten or twelve years a
large majority Of the public schools
have had speakers sent to them, usual
ly the Friday afternoon before Mem
Crial day.
Up to and within few years nearly
all of the speakers came from the ranks
of civil war soldiers. During the last
three or four years however in some
places it has been necessary, because
of the ravages of time, to ask many out
side of the soldier element.
Following the usual custom the chill
dren of the Baraboo schools will have
memorial day exercises on next Fri
day and interesting, instruc i've and pat
riotic programs will be carried out.

Last night the annual debate be-
tween the literary societies OF st.

tive audience.
The question for the debate was:
Resolved, That Congress Shall Imme-
diately Provide for Further Material

scented by the following members of

s. Bell H. D. The presiding officer
was Prof II. F. Sturdy
Although il was expected the affim-
ative would win. and Annapolis, a
navy town. is strongly in favor of a
larger navy, yet the unexpected did
happen.
The negative argument was decided
~ the better argument, and the Philo-
kalian Society won. Cadets Nelson
and Jump represented the negative
for the Philokalian Society
The prize is handsome silver cup
on which the name of the winning so
ciety is engraved The cup has been
held for two consecutive years by the
Philomathean Society, and now that
the Philokalians have il in their pos
session they will make a desperate
effort TO retain the prize
Because of the nature of the ques-
ton there was some disappointment
that the negative" won, but they put
up the much better and stronger ar
gument,and were conceded the worthy
winners.
