noon by union services at the M. E.
Churdh. Besides the sermon by
Rev. J. K. Hawkinc, appropriate spe

of the pastors of the churches of thlt
city participated in the program.
During the day there were hundreds
of our people who visited the local
cemeteries, bearing thither countless
floral tributes of lovo and memory
for those who have gone before.
Probably never before have these
memorial offerings been so numerous
and beautiful.
This morning the local members of
the G. A. R., the W. R. C, the ladles
of the G. A. R., and Co. D., of the
O. N. G., assembled at the Armory
and marched In a body to the court
house, where the day's exercises were
held. Here the national colors were
beautifully entwined with roses and
evergreens In strlklnily beautiful and
appropriate decorations. A large aud

Col. Mercer, of Eugene, the speak

tribute to Abraham Lincoln. The
speaker characterized Lincoln as the
greatest figure in the world's drama,
as oosidered in mod3rn times, and
whose position grows brighter as
time goes on. Features of the great
struggle of 1861-65 were referred to,
leading on the final outcome, which
was a united country, a great nation,
In which all the people were free. ,
The speaker referred to his per

benefit, and mental and moral uplift
from such association.
Lincoln's immortal letter to Mrs.
Bixby, of Massachusetts, who had lost
five sons in battle during the war,

This afternoon Col. Mercer deliver
ed another Interesting address at the
Soldiers' Home, in West Roseburg,
his principal itheme being personal
recollections of General John A.
Logan and other features connected
with the Civil War. Atty. R. W.
Mnreters also made a brief talk and
the ritualistic orders of the G. A. R.
were observed. There was also music,
both vocal and Instrumental, and di
vine invocation and benediction. The
graves of the soldier dead, In the
Home cemetery, had been appropri
ately decorated, and the gradually
lncreaslr,T number of the little
mounds gave token of the number
who are answering to the final roll

who are Etll! w!th us were given con
solation In lie beautiful poem Quot
ed by C:l. Mercer in his morning
address, which begins:
"There Is no death!
The stars go down to rise upon some
fairer shore.
And there In Heaven's Jeweled crown
to shine forever more."
During the morning program there
were seated on each side of the
speaker haao Johnson and J. L.
Dutton, two of the oldest veterans
In this vicinity, and at. their feet
were two little boys, tbe group rep
resenting the nation's honored de
fenders and the nation's hope.
me following prose poem, from
the Portland Journal, is a beautiful
tribute to the aged veterans:
"Every year a llbtde thinner grow
their ranks, as with flowers they
march on Decoration Day: every year
to fewer gives the nation thanks:
every year we view them grown more
gaunt and gray. More of them yeor-
ly, wearied, falter, faint and fall;
faster flies among the lessening
ranks Death's dart; oftener conies to
them the final Conqueror's call;
oftener from them friends must sadly
part. Cherished more and more
should the aging remnant be; tragic
and great tho part in our nation's life
they played; honor them as they
march, and doubt not that victory
shall again be theirs when among
their comrades they are laid."

memory of the regular soldiers who
participated fci the futuous battle.
Miss Helen Tart, daughter1 or the
president, unveiled the memorial.
Two thousand regular troops and

today.
At Arlington Cemetery.
WASHINGTON. May 31. "Earth
may run red with other wars" but
the 20.000 who lie in Arlington are
todpy Eleepin peacefully beneath a
wilderness of garlnnds and festoonB
of flowers. Thousands of army nnd
navy olllcers. veterans and Washing
ton ollloiahs and citizens today visited
the vast burial ground of the soldiers
dead and left behind a veritable av
alanche of fragrant tributes to those
gallant heroes who surrendered only
to Death.
Arlington is the camping ground
of an army army that never
again w 'i bear a: ten. The national
cemetery is perhaps tbe most benutl-
ful burying grourJ in the whole
country. It lies upen a hilltop where
grow m'shty forest I rew. and whore
the view is urbroken to a point far
off down the broad Potomac. The
carekecpe.' of Arlington will tell you
that no soidler ever now tho place in
life without expressing the wish that
he might lie there after death.
Some time it may he that the Fed
eral and Confederate memorial cere
mories will be held upon the same
day. The government at present cares
for the graves of many thousand! of
the Confederate dead and it Is but a
question of a few years probably
when Ihe North and South will agree
that one memorial day will be the
pait of the better patriotism.

"The Civil War ended long ago.
and but a remnant of the grand army
of veterans remains. Those spared to

ages of time and weakened by wound

says the order. "This Is an error. We

Smith is about 30 years of age. Evi
dence was Introduced to show that
Smith had written letters threatening

banking firm of Ladd and Hush, of
this city, and is one of the wealthiest
citizens In the Pacific Northwest.

attempt to hold up a Jewelry store

caught.
According to tho testimony two
loiters were written to Mr. Hush, the
Una one In January In which It wns
demanded that ;l0 lu gold bo plnc
ed under the sidewalk at a certniu
place by a certain time or carbolic
acid would be thrown lu the eyes of
the banker, Mr. Bush never received
the lettor. The communication came
Into the hands of the employes of the
bank, who dollvored it to Sheriff
Mlnto. Though Mr. Hush Is approach
ing 90 years old and attends closely
to many of the details of his business,
his employes thought It best to keep
from him the knowledge or tho let

Lewis & Slaver of Salem for the
writer, in a hand satchel, whore It
would be called for by an Innocent
person.
The writer threatened to kldnnp
Mr. Bush's daughter If the directions
In the comniunleatlon were not com

the ransom would not bo less than
$100,000.
