Mr. Manning of Carlton was a welcome visitor in Dayton Tuesday. He was aid ing the soldiers to decorate the graves of departed comrades. Memorial sermon was preached by Rev. Crandall, who did excellently. He was fine in some parts and grand and el oquent in others. Taken as a memorial sermon it would rank as a gem in any place, or before any congregation. The music was appropriate. The old melo dies still stir the veterans. Mr. Mellinger, who has been organiz ing and working for tie A. O. IT. W. in eastern Oregon, has returned home, after a three-months’ absence. He does not speak very highly of the upper country, but says that he saw more poverty among weath than he ever saw in the east, and that a great number of people would be better off in prison than living the way they do. Dayton was turned over to the old sol diers Tuesday, and the settlers say it was the finest and best decoration ser vice ever held here. The program was for all the people to meet at the park. The school children under Prof. Duncan came marching behind the band and formed in front of the platform occupied by old soldiers and teacher. Prof. Dun can spoke some very patriotic sentiments, Mayor Harris gave a patriotic address of welcome; “America” was sung by the school children. An address by Mr. Sig ler »as well received and very appropri ate. After music by the band the school children saluted the flag and then marched to the cemetery. The closing exercises at the cemetery were by Rev. Bowersox, the orator of the day. Mr. Flower then made some fitting remarks. The old soldiers and the school children and people of Dayton decorated the graves while the band played a dirge. A cenotaph to the unknown dead was erected. Last fall I sprained my left hip while handling some heavy boxes. The doctor I called on said at first it was a slight ' strain and would soon be well, but it grew worse and the doctor then said I had rheumatism. It continued to grow worse and I conld hardly get around to work. I went to a drug store and the l druggist recommended me to try Cham berlain's Pain Balm. I tried it and one- half of a 50-cent bottle cored me entirely. I now recommend it to all my friends.— F. A. Babcock, Erie, Pa. It is for sale by Howorth A Co., Druggists. HOPEWELL. ♦i « ♦s ♦j ♦?

Chaplain W. S. Gilbert has written the following letter of sympathy to Mrs. M. J. Clark, on the death of her son: It was a hard fight and the soldiers all had many a test put upon their bravery and endurance. None were braver than Bert. The entire regiment waB made un speakably sad when it was learned that Bert Clark had been killed. The joy of our splendid victory was all taken away when we found that seven of our boys had been slain. We knew that some would fall for we were sent against the foes’ etiongest and chqsen troops. I know Bert was all the world to you, and when you gave him to our country’s ser vice yon gave all the love of vour heart. To give a son to the cause of humanity is indeed a great sacrifice, but it is also the noblest sacrifice that can be made. We all loved Bert. He made friends of everybody. It is a great loss to bis regi ment that he has fallen, and to everyone of his comrades his death is a great sor row’. It is a comfort to us to know that our departed ones have died in a great cause—for a great good. Bert counted the cost and was willing to pay the price. He was a good soldier and a thoroughly good bov. He died doing liis duty. The cause for which he gave his life will live and bless the world for all time. Bert was laid away with care. He was clothed in a new uniform and placed in a good and beautiful casket and laid by iris comrades in the cemetery of Ar tillery Knoll. His body will be brought home Boon. There is an officer here now to oversee the removal of the bodies. Cap’. Heath will send you his effects. Our kindest sympathy is extended to you, to whom this sad bereavement comes heaviest. A Card of Thank«. I wish to say that I feel under lasting obligations for what Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy has done for our family. We have used it in so many cases of coughs, lung troubles and whooping cough, and it has always given the most perfect satisfaction. We feel greatly in debted to the manufacturers of this rem edy and wish them to please accept our hearty thanks.—Respectfully, Mrs. 8. Doty, Dee Moines, Iowa. For sale by Howorth & Co. druggists.

In the afternoon the Christian churcb was filled to witness the program prepared. The room was handsomely decorated for the occasion with bunting, flags and flowers, with a picture of Geo. Washing ton as a center piece. The Treble Clef club sang beautifully in two selections, and Miss Jennie Snyder sang unusually well in a solo. Marie Irvine spoke a patriotic selection exceedingly well, and was much appreciated. Comrade Wm. Wees presided in the absence of the commander. Comrade Maloney told of the death of Comrade 8. C. Pearson during the year, and told of hie military record, his muster out and some of the trophies of war he obtained. Comrade G. L. Burbank of Sheridan gave the memorial address, taking for his subject “Heroic Consecration." He thought that the interest in memorial services was not abating, and that in the light of recent events it would lie a long time before it would die out. It was not a day for picnics. The sacredness of these ties could only be comprehended by those who tented together or drank from the same canteen. The men who enlisted were not anxious to die, but were willing to take the risk. Heroic '■onBecration settles the permanence of American institutions, and giving up all for love of country is no trivial matter. It is also the inspiration to true man hood. Many a man is made better in serving his country. The speaker en listed April 19th, 1861, and asked for hands of those present who enlisted ear lier. There were none. The consecra tion of the war was not all on one side. Mothers, wives, sisters and maidetiB shared it, and he told of notable exam ples in the present warfare. White heads are now the rule in the ranks of veterans and they are dy ing off from four to ten thousand each year. He believed that when the last soldier was laid to rest there would be someone to strew flowers over hie grave. Posterity will never ques- tionllhe soldiers’ claim to honor or tender memories. He urged the people to spread the sentiment of holding the day sacred, fie would as soon dance at the funeral of his father as on memorial day. He was in favor of adding the names of the 6,000 or more who lost their lives in the last twelve months to the lists of the con secrated heroes, and admit the survivors to the ranks of the G. A. R. He de nounced as cowards those who call the pensioned soldier a "government pau per,” and he would proudly wear his button to his dying day, and then wished to be buried with it, and with the grand old flag of liberty draping his casket. The address was well received and though long, seemed to tire no one. Music was furnished by the band on the march from hall to church. Leal.

Mr. Kauffman came to Oregon from Pennsylvania in 1885. He was 71 years and 11 months old. Inter ment was made in Masonic cemetery on Wednesday. As the procession passed through the city, the band played a funeral dirge. Twoof Mr. Kauffman’s sons are members of the band. I desire to make settlement of all ac counts now due me.
