Mahaska’s Contribution to the (irand Army of Soldier Dead Over Three Hundred. The muffled drain's sad roll has lieal The soldiers' last tattoo; No more on life's parade shall meet The brave and fallen few. On lame s eternal camping ground Their silent tents are spread. And glory guards with solemn round The bivouac of the dead. In accordance with the order of the lirand Army t'ommamlers Memorial Day—yesterday—w;ls celebrated with fit and liecoming ceremonies, under the lead of Phil. Kearney I’ost. The rain of Tuesday had made it imjtossible to have the ceremonies at the Forest Cemetery, as had been intended, so the committee the Ojiera House, at which place the exercises, save the strewing of flowers, took place. At two o’clock the Knights of Pythias band, in full uniform, lead t tie way to the Opera House, where the |*eople had gathered. Major lairing, I’ost Com mander, called the audience to order, when after music l>y the band, and the rendition of “America” by the choir ami Mrs. Logan’s class of children, the Chaplain, Kev. A. V. Kendrick, a former member of the 33d lowa, made a touching prayer, in which the memory of our departed comrades was carried to the throne of grace in fervid words. Major 1/oring then delivered the following INTRODUCTORY ADDRESS FKI.I.OW Citizkss:-Although obedience to order* i* the first lesson learned by a *oldler, we are here to-dav hut partially in eomi 'tance with that duty: for this annual ceremony is not exclusively ours as menil*crs of the G.

Flowers, the universal and fitting emblem*, laid by all on a common altar, ill their frailty, remind us of mortality, yet speak to u* of the higher life, and no heart touched by au earthly loss, but feels their power; aud with llie*e llovver* and this ceremony, we speak our faitli that these men's lives were not a failure, nor iheir sacrifice in vain! Whether in camp or field, in hospital or prison pen. whether un der the sharp crack of the picket firing, or in the fearful charge ..f heavy nattallions. it mat ters not.

At such a time, amid the Im pending amt awful gloom, there ramc from out the confusion and chaos the voice of that grand est ot all of America's grand men, Abraham Lincoln, calling for volunteer soldiers to save the republic. And they came earn*- from the ruggisi hills of New Kuglaitd; from the middle states and from the great piairles of the west; from workshop and farm, from hamlet, village, and city ; from valley and plain; came from the ranks of tlie i-omumii people: from the humble cabin and from the homes of the rich severing the tie* w htch lionnd them to home and kindred— all ties save the love of count nr and ol duty -they went forth to do or die, as (lod should will, lu tin* service of their country. The Niyion called and Its call was; "We want no cowards In our land Who w ill onr colors fly. We call for noble-hearted men. Who are not afraid to die." And they were such men who responded to tin* call, iinttf a million of im*n confronted each otli«*r with bayonet*. On one side they Mid, ‘•Tills government shall die." On the other side they- »:UfL as ptwiUvety. ‘Tills cover incut shall live." This was the issue, an«T It was the only Issue of the war.

America was notified that It must take can' of Its own institutions. And It did so. Tlie war was mainly fought by Americans, hut we must not forget to recognize the aid which we re ceived from those citizens who were Ixirn In foreign lands, and were Americans only hy adoption. Home of theae came from Mexteo or from Lanaaa, few from England or Kranre, hut many came from the hanks of the Hhannou and from the vine-dad hills of Germany.

Ami among the happiest results of the war. next to the preservation of the government, was the liberation of the slaves. The nation came out of that struggle scarred ami wounded, it is true, hut strong and powerful still. And as its vieto riotis banner rose above the ramparts of the Kettellion and proclaimed to the world the sal vation of the Nation, its stars grew brighter— the dark blot of slavery had l»een wiped away—and f»r the first time in its history it .waved pruudly over a land of free men and of free women. Soldiers:—Eighteen years have passed since the cl -eof that gn at struggle .and when wet-on template the condition of our unhappy country when you were called to its defense, and its present condition, we have many reasons for congratulation. The government which was then rent anc. torn, divide*: by hostile factions, distracted by hitter dissensions even at home, trembling übler the tread of vast armies march ing to each other's destruction, was preserved by the bravery and endurance of its I.OYAL SOLDIERS AND SAILORS, and Is to-day united and prosperous. Its flag is unmolestisl al home and is honored in every land. The righteousness of flu- cause in which yon were engaged is now everywhere acknowl edged—even by many of those who fought against yon. The government has dealt fairly with you. The wounded ami maimed, and the widows ami orphans of the dead have been sinned and cired for; not always as promptly or a-- Id*eraily as we could have wished, but nevertheless with regularity ami substantial aid. In many wavs have you In-on honored by the people and by your government. This day has been made a legal holiday in honor of your dead comrades. Yon are still recognized as a power in the land. Many of your comrades arc occu pying places of honor and trust in all of the civil departments of the government, and In almost every Slate and comity. The chief magistrate of your state a I several of his predecessors have been soldiers. Already four soldiers of the late war have filled tin- highest office gift of a free |M*ople -that of l*restdent of the rutted States, and It Is not improbable that *>tliers will yet be called to that exalted station. Fellow Citizens:—The soldiers who lie burled here were y *ur neighbors, friends ami relations. You aided ami sustained them in He ir patriotic endeavors t» save our country . You hade them (}<>d speed and an affe* -uate adieu when tliev went to the war. and unified your tears willi ours at their untimely death.

C’ofisrL IlYKiih.— I The Df* Moines Regi*\er, of May HHh, makes the fol lowing pemonal mention, which is of local interest to Hkjialp readers: "Consul 8. 11. M. Byers, wltoae official residence is at Zurich, Switzerland, is takiikfa two weeks’ furlough at his home in Oskaloosa, ami spent ytwter duy In I>es Mmues, the guest of Mr. J. H. Given, and will remain to-day. In a brief chat with a ReyUitn re|H>rter Mr. Ilyers said he supposed he hatl l*een Lhe moet abused man living, from the newsimpent, hut he believed now tlie MUtiment was turning in his fav-. or. It will lie rememlieied that some years ago Mr. Byers became aware that the Swiss government was deporting its criminal classes to America. Hav ing invest igat ml the matter fully, he wrote an elal»orate statement to the New York Tribntu, which drew upon him a heavy newspajier fire, as well as a reprimand front the State Depart ment. The Swiss authorities also com plained. but Mr. Byers was so well pan oplied with proof that it resulted in his zeal afterward lieing commended by Secretary Blaine. Mr. Bvers stated bis lielief to the rejiorter, that “assisted emigration,” no matter from what country it conies, is not advantageous to the I'nited States, and Imped that the sentiment of the country would demand a vigorous enforcement of the wholesome laws recently passed by Congress upon the subject. Being .asked aliout the jw.rk question, Mr. Byers said he thought Consul Ma son and himself could claim the eredit of having secured the nqieal of the Swissdecree against American pork. Ir Hermany the people and nearly all the newspajters are in favor of admit ting our pork, but cannot prevail at the court at Berlin against tlie manufac turing interest representing this indus try. lie diplomatically evaded a query if Congress ought not to pass a retalia tory measure. Mr. Byers stated that he is now the oldest in continued consular service, he having lieen appointed to Switzerland fifteen years ago. He hojied soon to retire and reside in lowa the rest of his life. Mr. Byers, who has established as enviable a reputation in literature as in the public service, lieginning with bis song of “Sherman’s March to the S*-a ” is one of the worthiest rej>- rcsentativos of America abroad and a gentleman of whom his State, especially, as well as his Nation generally has reason to lie proud. He is genial and courtly while unafTected and manly in learning, and has done his country splendid service, lmth on the military and in the civil lield. If the United States had more such men in its diplomatic service its dig nity and power abroad, and pmqierity at home would lie greath increased.” INTERNAL, IMPROVEMENTS. News of Railroad* and “Snch Like.” —The Morning Son Herahl states that “Taylor & Lutr, of Indianapolis, have lieen awarded the contract for building the approaches to the ferry on this side of the river, npjwwite Keiths burg. Work will begin at once, we are told. The piling are to Ik- Cyprus and will Ik* shipped from the south. It will take an immense amount of work to make the connection, as there is one mile and a quarter of piling to Ik* put in. and these must lie cup|K*d and “tied." The town is hound to grow, and in a very short time be of as much import awe as Burlington. Being situated as we are. ltNl miles east of Oskaloosa. Itll miles northwest of Peoria, and KiO miles west of Laron, and tin terminus of the Central in lowa and the termi nus of the Central in Illinois, in all probability the main machine shops will Ik* erected here; and should the Laron branch Ik* built this fall. Keiths burg will Ik* the terminus of three branches of the Central. I don’t think a train will rr**ss the river here liefore late in .lime, the lK*st that can be done." —Newton is moving in the matter of extending the Pacific road northwest of that place. A meeting was held last week, at w hich Nevada and Story county delegates were present, and a great deal of favor was found. The Jnurmtf says: “A dispatch had lK*en expected from New York, making ex plicit proposals foi the extension, but it was not received. Pending the re ception of this the meeting adjourned to Ik* again convened at the call of the officers.” The Winfield Tnnwri]>t has this item of fast work: “Last Friday morning the cor|»s of men erecting the telegraph line on the Central com menced alK>ut a mile on this side of Morning Sun putting up the w ire, and reached this place aUmt one o'clock r. M. That is putting up wire pretty raje idly, alHiiit t wo miles an hour for seven men live elimliers and two wire stretchers." (iov. Merrill and Mr. Morse are flow in New York in connection with Toledo matters. We shall !io|m* to hear something officially as to the time for work within a few days. In conversa tion with one of the altove named gen tlemen a few days ago we heard very much of the most encouraging char acter. The troubles that were threat ened with the Diagonal enterprise seem all to have lieen quieted, and we shall hear no more of war and its bloody rumors. It now seems certain .hat the road will reach Winterset thi year. —Advices from Griswold state that the ’l’., O. & W. surveyors find it almost im|»ossible to get an outlet west from Hint point.

It is in aid of the “Tow" line. —The Atlantic A Northwestern pro tectors are feeling highly elattsl over the results of the late election, and are now pushing the matter to some prac tical shape along the line. Good feel ing is manifested anti no trouble is anticipated in carrying a tax along the entire route. This road is to connect with the T., O. A W., anti will also run northeast to Jefferson. SnnitT Horns. —At the West IJIe liety sale of short horns last week, a K‘*ml attendant* was nqmrteil. There were in all 104 head sold, of wliirh 25 were cows. 32 heifers and 4? males, most of them fair prices, while a few animals were mi non sly cheap. The total receipts of the sale were 9102115,0 f which the cows brought 92.H00, the heifers 83.21*5, and the males 84.420, averaging for rows 9112, heifers 8112.00, males 9G4.04. The highest price paid for any one cow was 8235, lowest 845; highest paid for any one heifer w r as 9155, lowest 840; the highest paid for any otie male was 8210 and the low est 850. The seeming discrepancy in the extremes was from the fact that some of the cattle offered were quite young. Altogether the sale wjis a very fair .one and generally gave satisfac tion to lioth seller and buyer. Col. Judy, in his o|»ening address, very properly said that the breeders of good cattle could no more afford to ignore the newspa|»ers as an advertising me dium than they could do without choice animals from the bent families of im l*orted cattle. "Physiology of Worn am.” At no time have the mental and phys ical p RMihilities «»f woman liepn so prominently discussed; never, jierhaps, at any time have the mental and physi cal possibilities of the human race re ceived so much thought.

It is also l*eing under stood that whatever is for the lietter ment of one part of humanity, results in the lienetit of all. A late aide work hv Sarah Hackett Stevenson, M. I)., of the Woman’s Med ical College, of Chicago, in which posi tion, and also as practicing physician, she has attained distortion, places in the reach of every one at reasonable Juice one of the most interesting and mportant treatises on woman ever on (dish'*!. It makes prominent Dr. Marv Putnam Jacobi’s prize for Women.” which Is deemed worthv of thought and discussion by able physicians, not only in this country hut also in Europe. If able physicians say of it “it proves a valuable contribution to our knowl edge” if it calls out such remarks, “our knowledge is imperfect, physiolo gy is teaching us much and promises more,” Dr. Stevenson’s work “Physi ology of Woman,” including as it does in non-professional language Dr. Jacobi’s essay, should lie in the hands of every woman. Dr. .Stevenson’s book covers life broad and deep, pointing out the causes of sickness and invalidism. Many of these causes are the neglect of what should lie the every day details of life. An able physician in a late medical journal says: “Of equal importance with active treatment are trie little de tails of every day life, which are often lost sight of altogether, or else deemed of little or no importance. They are so simple as to tie forgotten. It is safe to say that no active inter ference will, unaided by stric t attention to hygienic detail, accomplish a cure. It is by enjoining faithful oiiedience to these things that the physician will achieve his greatest reputation. OUR MAHASKA REPORTS Q-leanings by Herald Reporters Orer Norik Skunk.
