Look for a big crowd from Craham co. The committees are working manfully. All should assist in gathering flowers. The Ellis Post will come up in a body, we do hope. Let no patriotic person remain out of the procession! At least a thousand people are wanted from Ellis county. Nothing is likely to 'prevent a heavy attendance from Gove co. Implicit attention should be given to the requests of Marshal Carson and his assistants. Senator Plumb, it is expected, will ar rive by Friday evening's west-bound express train. Generally, our people have subscribed freely and liberally to the fund to defray the necessary expenses. We hope that every member of our Post will heed Commander Caddick's order re questing his attendance. Barring the hilarity, it is fair to expect this to be a reminder of July 4, 1879, at Wa-Keeney. Those who were here then will have no trouble in catching our meaning. By all means, let nothing be left undone by any well-wisher for the community, which might tend to increase the size of the crowd or the interest in the ceremo nies, having due regard, of course, for the solemnity of the occasion. Business houses should be closed by 1 o'clock, and kept so until the conclusion of exercises. We have not consulted the mayor on the subject, but he will be re quested to issue a proclamation request ing that this be done; and we presume that he wilL The sons of old soldiers should see to having their proper place in the proces sion. They should also remember that their badge is to be a red ribbon fastened over the left breast. Every son of a vet eran in this section of country if he has reached the age of eight or nine years should have a place in the procession. The Woman's Belief Corps, by which, for this occasion, is meant the wives of old soldiers, should rally in force to their proper place in the procession. Their daughters should, by all means, be given places in the procession. The badge of the Belief Corps will be a rosette of red, white and blue ribbon worn in the usual place. The following lines are the concluding portion of the poem which was read by Maj. DeWitt C. Sprague at the recent meeting of the Army of the Potomac: But we should not forget our fallen brave. No ; their dear memory should ne'r decay. For their beloved,imperiled country they "The last full measure of devotion" gave. Bedeck their lowly bed, O gentle Spring! Bedeck with mantle green their hon ored bed, And imortelles with dewy fingers spread, And let thy feathered choir their requiem sing! Who love their country fight and die for her, . Rear to themselves a lasting monument. Not with unhonored clay their dust is blent; The whole earth is their hallowed sepul- cher. Ah, well, we know our brother foe was brave (We are not hero vain-glorious boast to mate); We fought him only for his country s sake. We conquered, but we conquered all to save! Ye gallant men who wore the Southern gray! Ye valient men who wore the loyal blue! Ye all were to the cause ye fought for true, But ye are all Americans to-day. O Sun of peace, shine ever on this land! O Freedom, with thy sacred JSgis guard! O Light of Progress, lead us still on ward! O Right of Justice, rule from strand to strand! A Damaging Blaze. About 4:30, Wednesday afternoon, May 13, a spark from the chimney of Ben C. Rich's house set fire to his horse stable, which was quickly consumed. The fire communicated to some stacks of of hay, sorghum and straw, and as the wind was in the southeast, all his corrals, cattle sheds, and large stacks of straw were in great danger. Promptness on the Sart of Messrs. Reynolds, Harvey and the cBrides, who in a few minutes were on the ground, added to much hard work on the part of all, saved them from the flames. The loss of the stable and about 2G tons of feed amounts to about $50. A slight rain, about two o'clock the next morning, made everything safe. A gran ary containing about two hundred bush els of oats, only a few feet from the stable, was saved. Mr. Rich was at work in the fieldwith his team, and got in in time to save his extra harnesses and saddle, etc The Jewess who reached town by the train from the east the other evening, in search of her truant husband, found him at Ostrander's sheep ranch. His name we have lost. It is German, and begins with H. They were married in Germany about four years ago. She has a 3-year-old boy of theirs with her. The man came west about that long ago, leaving her in New York city. She wante him to go with her to Kansas City right now to enable a Jewish Babbi to divorce them. ' Heiswillingtotake'mostanykindofadi voree, but promiaea to go to Kansas City with her after getting some money. One of the greatest temptations with which the editor of this paper ever had to straggle was that of accepting the in vitation to deliver the address at the beautiful city of Wilson on Decoration day. The tempter was repulsed, and we determined to stay at home, and do what we concede to be our full measure of duJv for this community. Our merchants sell mints of goods. CoL E. Q. Fellows was in town last week. Four-fifths of an inch of rain fell Monday night. County Clerk Pinkham was at Hays City on Monday. Squire Martin, of Grainfield, was in town on Wednesday. W. C. Olson has had a rear addition built to his harness shop. There is an almost fractic rush of business at the government land office. Marshall & TJfFord have had an awning built in front of their store house. McKnight Bros, have moved their office Into Verbeck's new stone building. A. J. Ayers, J. B. Beal and other Grainfieldians were in town on Thursday. A. F. Tosh has moved his jewelry store into Verbeck's little wooden build ing, just north of his store. m Dr. Scott's subscription paper to se cure funds for the equipment of our base--ball club was signed numerously, i . , Among our callers last Saturday were E. A. McMath, Grainfield; Judge Bensonof Iowa, and Mr. Matthews, also of Iowa. The mixed train which is due here late in the afternoon has begun to carry mail again. The Topeka Daily Common wealth will now reach here by that train. Charley Benedict carries his right hand in a sling. He broke through his own window, and cut his hahd badly while trying to hang up a bunch of ba nanas. The Masonic order at this place is in a flourishing condition. Within the past week, it has received a lot of nice regalias, jewels and furniture, and will soon invest in more of these things. Lou Fisher, the live Collyer mer chant, was in town Wednesday night, with his family. He went east the next morning, with the intention of being ab sent about a week. Mrs. Fisher and her little boy remained in Wa-Keeney until to-day, when they returned home. Mrs. Fisher Las many friends in Wa-Keeney, all of whom have hailed her visit with de light. PREPAEING -FOB DECORATION DAI The following proceedings were had by Captain Trego Post, G. A. R., Saturday evening, May 16: Comrade Pilkenton reported that the committee on speaker had secured the services of Senator Plumb on the 30. Comrade Harrison, in behalf of the committee on music, reported progress. Comrades Pilkenton, Tilton and Os born were appointed a reception com mittee to meet Senator Plumb at the railway depo on his arrival here. Comrades Hanna, Kritchfield and Os born were appointed a committee on in vitation. A committee of three was appointed to request that a special train be run from Hays City to Wa-Keeney in the morning of Decoration day, and back in the even ing, the object being to make it pleasant for the people of Ellis county to be with us. Comrades Tilton, Pilkenton and Har rison were appointed a committee to canvass for funds by subscription. The committe on arrangements, (which was appointed at the previous meeting,) was instructed to call to their assistance such persons as they may need. The following committee on program was appointed: Comrades Carson, Tilton and Groft. The committee on arrangements was instructed to make such arrangements with the landlords of the different hotels as would insure the prompt filling of all orders for dinner on Decoration day. It was decided that the Post would hold a special meeting Monday evening. SPECIAL MEETING. Monday Evening, May 18.
