Wave the clear old fitiK above therh Play the sweet old bugle call, And because they died in honor O'er them let the (lowrets fall Soft they slumber Dreaming, Stirring not at all. Freedom's host of silent sleepers, Where they lie is holy ground, Heeding not our restless clamor Muyliots rattlo, trumpets sound Soft they slumber Ever wrapped in peace profound Indiana Post 38 had their usual decorations Wednesday. Each grave over which floated the "red, white and blue" had placed on it a wreath of flowers.

At 10:30 the Post marched to the court house and listened to Dr. Howard King as' he called to mind the "enemies" overcome aud those yet to be overcome. The fact that it was not generally known that Dr. King was to the absence of a band of music that in itself is an advertisement and attracts the attention of the people, will account for, the small attendance. The papers be glad to make all such announcements if authorized.

Let us determine on a larger demonstrations for next year. Post 36, G. A. R. of Saltsburg only nine of whom live -in town, concluded this year not to request a Memorial sermon nor make any public demonstration but they would go quietly to the resting ''place of their comrades aud decorate May 30.

Lack of interest "was the reason assigned. This so touched the hearts of those who read the brief announcement that folks got thoroughly stirred up, Rev. G. M. Ryall preached a sermon that was tenderly Memorial and assured his hearers of his hearty support for the coming year.

Maj. R. M. Ewing, born and raised near the town read the notice at his home in Wilkinsburg and wrote pleading with the younger paople to join with the men of grny hair and feeble steps and fittingly- observethe day. We surmise next year there will be a Memorial sermon and a public demonstration second to none iu Indiana county.

Marion Geuter always covers herself with glory as well as "Gld Glory" and makes the day one to be specially remembered by everyone, even the little tots. Roughly estimated there were over a thousand people participated but only 32 of John Pollock battle scarred veterans. In all 125 graves were decorated, Marion Center 25, Muhouhig and Gilgal 37, Washington 81, Bethel 7, Tauqrna ,5, Georgeville 10, Rayue 5. The Gipsy Comet baud made iuspriug music and the Patriotic Sous of America with their regalia added much to the appearance of the procession. Every organization joined in and there was not room in the Presbyterian church or all who wanted to hear Rev.

G. W. Mclutyre's address. Afcer the service the W. R.

C. and others went to the stream near the depot and strewed flowers on the waters in memory of those brave ones who went down at sea. Among the older persons present was Mrs. Eliza Park Martin of Big Run, who was born at Marion Center more than four score years ago. She and her daughter Mrs.

Beuade remained to visit friends. A number of folks went out from Indiana and were simply astonished at the crowd and the beautiful way they observed the day iu the town on the B. R. P. midway -between Indiana and Puuxsutawney.

Post 221 held services at New Florence with veterans in line and cornet band and Sunday schools to do them honor, paraded the streets, strewed flowers on the graves and then listened to a fine address from J.

The Baptist church had been decornt id with flags and flowers for the occasiouifor tho descendants of those who went out from tin village nearly half a century ngo to battle for their country, have in them great love for the cause for which the fathers fought and for which some ol them died. Four of the Comrades answered the last roll call during the past year and in memory of these tender words were said. A program of music and recitations was oue of the features of the day's songs and speech were fit ting to the day. The same can truth fuly be sm'd of thn addresses that followed by Attoruej John M. Leech and J.

N. Langhara of this ace. It oauuot be said that Cookport people Inck interest iu the day nor lack honor for the comrades, as all that was spoken or done that iiay reflected honor for the living and gratitude to the heroic dead. Samuel Orothers, president of Select Council, and Rev. J.

W. Heintz, pastor of the Lutheran Church of the Covenant, Sixty-third street and Gray's avenue, delivered addresses. The members of the camp fled a ralnte to the flag, which is at all times kept flying over the grave. NKWH. FIUE AT Crusher, Washer Tipple of Joseph Wliarton Plant liuriictl Tester- A ot Estimated.

A brakoman on tho railroad, where there was a freight wreck a short distance from the said that he saw two men sink and not rise again.

Investigation found this to bo true. Foot prints on tho shore indicated that some one had come out of tho water and gone in again, which gave rise to the supposition that MoGall boing the larger and stronger had reached shore and noticing Gurris, who is sub ct to cramps struggling in tho water went to his rescue.
