Spiral Tower Performer Asks fol
Damages Amounting to $500.

A petition was filed in the office of
the district court this morning by Lio-
mel Legare of Bethlehem, Pa, asking a
judgment of $500 against the Kansas
Free Fair association. Legare alleges
that he entered into a contract with
the association to stage his Spiral
Tower exhibition during the free fair
last fall and that the fair association
agreed to build, for his purpose, a
platform of a certain size and dimen-
sions. For this performance Legare
says he was to be paid $500 at the
end of the week.
1t was only after some time. he said,
that the platform was built, and even
then it did not conform to the speci-
fications as set forth in his contract,
rendering it impossible for him to
stage his exhibition. he asserts. AS a
result, he says. the fair association re-
fused to pay him the $500, a1tho he
was put to the expense of moving his
apparatus here.

 VERY HEARTILY

LONDON, May 25.-king George has met the real, made-in-Ohio dem- ocratic spirit.
 A hearty slap on the shoulder. de- liVered by Capt W. Mack, Cincinnati ii, agent of the United States insur- ance board, brought home to the king the kind of democratic spirit that is customary among Americans.
 It happened when Capt. Mack was formally introduced to the king and queen by Sir Henry Fowler, at Guild hall. As a booster for his war insur- ance, the enterprising American inn medlateiy asked their majesties for their signatures, to encourage Ameri- can soldiers in England to sign also. He accompanied the request to the king with a wellmeant, though in formal, slap on the shoulder,
 The queen protested that she had no table at hand.

 Can we not all together, as one peo- pie, with one voice, and one heart, on Memorial day pray:
 May the powers that move through the universe and reveal themselves in the actions of men use us as their in- struments for high purposes, as they used George Washington in his day, and Abraham Lincoln In his day;
 May they steel our hearts to bear privation, suffering, death, until wrong shall be overthrown, and right be re- stored to its throne;
 May they strengthen our soldiers and sailors, redOuble the vigOr of their bodies and the might of their souls so that they shall compel victory to fol low at their heels;
 
 conflict, every hour of the day and every hour of the night remember George Washington, and strike with all our national might, putting the strength of 1OO,OOOOOO people into each blow; and, in the hour of victory, re member Abraham Lincoln, and have charity for all and malice toward none."
 In this state of mind we shall be the better warriors, and go to battle like CrOmwelPs IrOnsidcs. confident of vic tory, or like Stonewall Jackson's troopers, with the fear of the Lord in their hearts and the might of the Lord in their right hands. For what is the Lord" but the confidence of

PRO-HUN RATS MUST DIE

LONDON, May 27.-Millions of dis loyal wasters in England are to be killed, in a new campaign against waste. The wasters condemned to death are rats.
 We cannot afford to feed the rats," says a government appeal just sent out, asking cooperation of all loyal subjects in the slaughter. "We can not raise too much grain, and we can hardly hope to have enough for our selves"
 The latest close estimates on rat ravages are for 1908, when food which now would be worth $2OO,OOO,OOO was destroyed by them in England.

Let Us All
 Remember!
By HENRY SEDGWIcK

R T EMoRIAL DAY has come
 N again. Let us retire into our A 4 selves, and let us remember.
 The earliest settlers in this country, whether they came with Capt. John Smith. with the Pilgrims, the Pu- ritans, the Dutch. the Quakers or the Catholics, whether they came early in the seventeenth century or whether they came in the exodus from Ireland in the lean years of the nineteenth or In the flight before the reaCtlOnarv do- minion established in Europe after 1S48. or whether they came to escape pogroms in the beginning of the twen- tieth century, all, in their respective ways, grapplPd boldly with the difficult ties of life and brought their puru ,ses to accomplishment. Let us remem- Der.
 The noblest figure of the eighteenth century. be the others who they may, Is that of George Washington, who in the first great trials of our national life raised "a standard to which the wise and the just could repair" and left the issue in the hands of God. Let us remember.
 The nobest figure of the nineteenth century, excepting no one, is that of Abraham Lincoln, who by his heroic Santliness, his heroic patience, his he rOic conception of duty. his heroic hu- mility, led his people through the fiery trials of the Civil war. Let us remem- Der.
 We have doubtless made mistakes: we have neglected duties; We have overeStimated the value of riches; we have cared too much for luxury; we have failed to establish justice for the masses; we have not brought demOc- racy to ripeness; we have forgotten the true road; we have sought D3wOr- ship both God and mammon; b4.we have not let the fires of hope-rhat the spirit of brotherhood shall prevail among all Americans and between America and all the world-die out in our hearts. Let us remember.
 Now we confront the greatest trial that our nation has faced. The strong est power in the world, built up on its military foundation, as solid as the Ro, man colosseum. and animated by t. tanic pride and ambition, has set out to dominate the world. Let us remem.

First Northern VoIunteer

The first volunteer for service during the Civil war was Dr. Charles F Rand and his demise occurred in his homo iii Washington. D. C., some years ago after long period Of illness, the d. rect result of wounds received during the war.
 Although for long time there was a hearty dispute as to who was the first volunteer to sign the roll when Presf- dent Lincoln issued his first call for troops, careful comparison of All claims and research as to difference in latitude resulted in the bestowal of the patriotic palm upon Doctor Rand, and he was recognized as the first volun- teer by all the chief executives of the nation, from President Lincoln to The odore Roosevelt.
