The city of Scrantou was represented in Burlingame by the following persons: Postmaster Frank Irvin and wife, and daughter May, L.

L. Hogeland aud wife, John Hoover and wife and baby, Thomas Martin and wife and Mrs. John Cook. The Euterpean club is a credit to Burlingame. Their songs were appropriate aud rendered in a maimer that called forth praise from all who heard them.

The club is composed of the following named ladies and gentlemen: II. B. Pratt and wife, H. C. Shaw, J.

H. Mills, Miss Eugenia Mills, Mrs. J.J. Playford, Dr. J.B.

Gillespie and wife, W. G. Jameisou, C. E. Wood, Wm.

Wells Win. Weils Mary Wells and Ada Wells, with Miss Cora Hover as organist. Dr. C. Hoover, of this city, who is in his eightieth year, marched to and from the cemetery with E.

P. Sheldon post G. A. R. of which he is an honored member.

Many of the floral offerings were beautiful and the cemetery after the graves had been decorated was almost a garden of roses. The Burlingame cemetery continues to become more beautiful as time goes on. Under the care of Mr. James Sau-ders nothing is neglected or left undone that in any way contributes to the beauty of the place. It looked fine on Decoration day.

As The Chronicle has before remarked Mr. Sauders is the right man in the right place. The G. A. R.

post of this city should ascertain the name in full and the company and regiment of each soldier burled in the Burlingame cemetery. In some cases this information can no doubt be furnished by parties living in this city or county, while in others it will be necessary to apply to the adjutant general ot each state from which the soldier enlisted. It is important that this be done in order that grave stones may be supplied by the county for the soldiers now occupying unmarked graves. We hope the G. A.

R. post will act promptly in this matter. A Former Burlingame Boy. Mr. Edwin Austin Elliott, a former Burlingame boy now living in Pueblo, Colorado, is a member of the graduating class of '89 of the Central high school of that city.

"Eddie," as we used to call him, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred M. Elliott. He is about eighteen years of age and when a little fellow attending school in this city bo-longed to the class of pupils who made the best of their opportunities.

He has pursued his studies in the schools of Pueblo under difficulties, having been compelled to walk through all kinds of weather a distance of three miles to and from the school house. That sort of perseverance brings its reward and now our young friend is fitted to enter college and continue his search for knowledge in store for those whose ambition it is to obtain it. We predict that Eddie Elliott will press forward till he gains the heights. In the programme of exercises referred to he has an oration entitled "Bulls and Bears" and to him has alto been assigned the honor of delivering the class valedictory. Horticultural.

The Horticultural Society will meet at the residence of H. Dubois on Saturday the 15th instant at eleven o'clock a.m. Topics for discussion, "potatoes and their culture." Let tnere be a general attennance. H. Dubois, Secretary.

The 4Snnbeam" Washer. Burlingame, Kansas, May 1SS3. We have been using the "Sunbeam" washer for sometime. It does splendid. We are well satisfied with our washer and would not be without it.

Mrs. II. S. Cox. With bated breath, uncovered head With hearts bowed down with pain.

We walk to-day among our dead Whose gallant forms, whoe martial tread, We ne'er shall see nor hear again. Their mould now lies beneath the sod; Their souls are marching on Their captain is Almighty God, They march the streets where angels trod. Their battles all are won. If angels deign to view the affairs of men it surely must be of much comfort to your comrades who have gone before to behold you pay these tributes of respect. Our eulogy is not inspired from the fact that you and your dead comrades fought as we believed.

It was not a war of sentiment, but one of principle and right, as broad as the earth and as eternal as the heavens. The heroic convictions that led our forefathers to strike down the oppressive English crown and wash away from their soil the Royai seals and signets with their own blood, was bred into their posterity. Only opportunity was necessary for its assertion. You have saved to us again the grandest nation of earth. None could nave foretold the disastrous results of defeat.

But, my friends, to those of us who were too yonng to participate in this glorious cause, there comes the responsibility of preserving the great inheritance bequeathed to us by such noble blood. Peace as well as war has its victories and its defeats. A battle may be reversed in the midst of retreat but the will of the people ii a soveriegn thing that knows no turning till it turns to view its own defeat. The springs of human action are delicate instruments. Oftentimes to touch one cord is to spring a million souls to this action or that.

First let us conquer self. That makes us greater than he who conquers an army then wield our Influence to the elevation of our fel-lowraen. You will pardon me if, perchance, I digress a moment here and refer to an im pending danger that threatens our institutions. For two hundred years the gates of Castle garden have "swung inward and never out." America has been the happy dream-land of the setti ng sun. Its allurements have brought unwelcome guests.

It has been an asylum for the afflicted yes but it has for a long time been the asylum for criminals, paupers, and communists as well. Bloody seditions have already resulted. Haymarket with all its horrible spectres is fresh in our minds. The sound of the bomb in our own beloved state has scarcely left our ears. We want no emigrants whose sentiments are far pillage and destruction whose judgment and reason are blinded by jealousy and prejudice; whose persuasion is dynamite.

Our sentiment is America for Americans and those who can be Americanized. Let us use our Influence upon those in power, not to close the gates of our shores, but to carefully guard them that the unworthy be kept out. War at best is heart-rending cruelty. I trust that He who holds the destinies of men and nations may hasten the day when the arbitrament of the sword will be supplanted by a court of nations. As we today cast our eyes over southern battle fields we yiew many a soldier's grave where lie the heroes who never reached their family burying ground.

While their remains do not honor our cemeteries, they haye not been forgotten. They died that we might live. Their tombs should not be honored the less because not ade with tender hands nor wet with te ars of sorrowing friends. By death's adoption they are our brothers and we love them. While we cannot today strew their graves with emblems of our love, yet in memory we shall ever hold them dear.

"On the eternal camping ground, Their gilent tents are spread And glory guards with solemn rounds, The bivouac of the dead." The names of Lincoln, Grant and Sheridan, who are to-day numbered among your dead, are enshrined in the hearts of every American. They were the fortresses of strength, the magazines of intelligence npon which our success depended. Their wisdom and valor gave us the victory. But I would not disparage the un-ranked soldiers. Their fortitude and endurance was marvelous.

They were the bone and sinew of the war; the peoples' champions and saviors. To E. P. Sheldon post No. 35, as a portion of the Grand Army to whom we owe our happiness, our prosperity and security, we, as private citizens, extend our heartfelt gratitude.

You haye the benedictions of our hearts upon your lives. As one by one you shall join the hosts eternal, your army here must giow less. But each year we shall repair to the cemetery and in fond memory do honor to our soldier dead. When the last member of the Grand Army has gone there will still be tender hands to strew memorial flowers, and other hearts to bedew your silent tombs with tears. Of our hero dead we shall ever think "How sleep the brave who sink to rest By all their country's wishes blest When spring with dewy finger cold Returns to deck their hallowed mould.

She there shall dress a sweeter sod Than fancy feet havo ever trod. "By fairy hand their knell Is rung, By forms unseen their dirge is sung. There honor come3, a pilgrim gray To dress the turf that wraps their clay. And freedom shall awhile repair To dwell a weeping hermit there." At the conclusion of the oration Mr. H.

B. Pratt favored the audience with a solo entitled: "They died not in vain," after which came a selection by the cornet band. Chaplain Easter An Appropriate Obserrance of the Day in this City. The Graves of our Sacred Dead StreTra with Flowers. An Able and Eloquent Address by lion.

John A. Murray. "Four hundred thousand men The brave, the good, the true. In tangled wood. In mountain glen.

On battle plain, in prison pen. Lie dead for me and you. Four hundred thousand of the brave Have made our ransomed soil their grave For me and you. Good friend, for me and you In many a fevered swamp, By many a black bayou. In many a cold and frozen camp The weary sentinel ceased hl3 tramp And died for me and you From western plain to ocean tide Are stretched the graves of those who died For me and you, Good friend, for me and you.

A debt we ne'er can pay To them is justly due. And to the nation's latest day Our children still shall Bay: "They died for mo and you," Four hundred thousand of the brave Male thii. our ransomed soli their grave. For mo and you, Good friend, for me and Thursday last, the eighth annual observance of Memorial Day in Burlin-game, wa3 in every respect an occasion of much interest, the programme of the day, a3 formerly, being successfully carried out and nearly all the people in this city and vicinity participating in the exercises. The weather was all that could have been desired, the day being one of sunshine and just cool enough to be pleasant.

At an early hour the visitors begun to arriye from the surrounding country and by noon the streets were well filled with citizens in holiday attire. The scene was one of much interest. Business was entirely suspended in honor of the sacred day and flags and bunting fluttered in the bright sunlight from nearly all business houses and many private residences. Groups of old soldiers in uniform, a majority of them wearing the honored badge of the G. A.

were seen on eyery corner, while members of the Burlingame guards, many of them thesonsof veterans, mingled with the crowd, their straight figures and soldierly bearing bringing vividly to the memory of the veterans of the war what they themselves looked like when they marched gaily to the front more than a quarter of a century ago. The Womans' Relief Corps, that grand organization whose members never forget to perform the duties expected of them on Memorial Day, were on the streets bright and early with baskets of flowers, and the little children, with bright, clean faces, and carrying beautiful bouquets with which to decorate -the graves of the sacred dead, completed the beautiful picture. The parade was formed at 1:30 p. the right of column resting on the corners of Santa Fe and Topeka avenues. The order in which the procession moved wras as follows: Burlingame cornet band, W.

C. Chatfield leader. Burlingame Guards; Cap. C. P.

Drew, and Lieutenants Lynn Kelleher and J. H. Haver-field commanding. E. P.

Sheldon Pot A. It. and visiting comrades and old soldiers A. Stoops oom- msnding. Womans Relief Corps in carriages, Mrs.

M. E. Newman in command. Carriage containing the orator of the day, the Hon. John A.

Murray, and Gen. J. Burke, chairman of the committee on speakers. Wagon containing flower girls. Citizens in carriages, wagons, and horseback.

The procession was about one mile in length and was in charge of Capt. T. W. Lynch, marshal of the day, and Misses Genie Baird and Rosa Wilbur, assistant marshals. AT THE CEMETERY.

The services at the cemetery were of the usual impressive character. Prayer was offered by Chaplain A. C. Easter, after which the Euterpean club sang "America." Post Adjutant C. H.

Taylor then read general order No. 2 Issued by the department commander relative to the observance of Memorial Day which was followed by a brief address by Post Commander Stoops. The beautiful song entitled: "Lay your garlands o'er their tombs," was then nicely rendered by the Euterpean club which was followed by the solemn and beautiful ceremony of decorating the graves of the sleeping heroe3. The flowers were strewn by little girls who were divided up into squads, visiting each grave in charge of members of the Grand Army of the Republic under the direction of Major Harrison Dubois. The graves had been marked by planting a flag at the head of each sacred mound, this duty having been faithfully per formed by Comrade J.

E. Bush. The following is a list of the soldiers buried in the Burlingame cemetery: THE SLEEPING HEROSS. S. R.

Our readers will lind an account of the Johnstown horror on the second and seventh pages of this issue of The Chronicle. Hall June unloaded two cars three year old steers at this place Saturday. They came from Great Bend and are for sale. Mr. Walter Mings is still in the stock business and ready to pay the highest market price for hogs.

Farmers haying anything to sell will do well to see Mr. Mings. Van Horn, Witbeck grocers, flour and feed, are haying a prosperous business. A Chronicle reporter dropped in there Saturday and found all hands very busy. They have an elegant store.

We are under obligations to Mr. L. II. Spaulding, of Portland, Oregon, for an illustrated pamphlet of that thriving city. Portland is, we have no doubt, as this pamphlet calls it, "the gem of the northwest." AVe learn from the Lyndon Journal that Lloyd Doty, son of Probate Judge Doty, has entered the employ of the Lyndon bank.

Lloyd is a bright, pleasant young gentleman, and we predict that he will be faithful and attentive in the discharge of his duties. W. P. Beverly and Walter Mings dissolved partnership sometime since, Mr. Mings retiring.

Mr. Beverly is still in business at the old stand and he hopes for a continuance of the patronage so long extended at the old firm and desires also to secure his share of new customers. Mr. Beverly will keep a full stock of flour and feed which he will sell at low prices. Give him a call.

W. W. Curdy, the Topeka dry goods man, advertises in this issue of The Chroni cle. He has four special sales to which he invites the attention of our readers. Mr.

Curdy carries an immense stock of goods, embracing dry goods, carpets, upholstering, clothing, boots and shoes, hats and caps, etc. When in Topeka call and see him at 419 and 421 Kansas avenue. Mr. J. J.

Davis, of this city is apprehensive of the loss of a number of relatives in the Johnstown flood. He had four sisters and two brothers, all of whom were married and lived with their families in Johnstown. Mr. Davis thinks he had about thirty re. latives there in all.

lie has heard nothing from any of them since the disaster. The startling intelligence was received in this city Tuesday morning that A. T. Itodgers, and wife, had been shot by a burglar at their home in Topeka Monday night. Mr.

Ilodgers died Tuesday forenoon and his wife is now lying in a dangerous condition, with very little hope of recovery. Mr. Ilodgers was one of the most popular gentlemen in Topeka. He had many acquaintances in this city. The writer knew him intimately for a period of fifteen years and it is with feelings of profound sorrow that we record his untimely death.

He was a genial, whole-souled gentleman and an esteemed citizen. Mr. Ilodgers served through the late war in the Union army and was a gallant soldier. "later! The murderer was taken from the jail at 11:45 r. Tuesday night and was hanged to a telegraph, pole.

Early and Thomas English, both of whom have lived in this vicinity for some time, were arrested Friday and arraigned before Judge Newman Saturday morning charged with having stolen ten head of hcgsfiom John Hoover, at Scranton. They vimi'' bound ever for trial in the distrvr. court and being unable to secure were taken to jail at Lyndon. When arrestsd they were on the road betwt-eu Burlingame and Osage City. They had previously tried to sell the hogs to Walter Mings, who, suspecting they were stolen property, refused to buy.

Previous to the arrest of the two. Early had been arrested, tried and ned in itfhe police court of this city for running his horse on the street and across the two Switzler creek bridges. See the new binder at Oliver Bro's. There was an abundance of flowers and none of the graves were each receiving a wealth of the fragrant garlands commemorative of the love of the living for the heroic dead. A dirge by the cornet by a salute fired by the guards completed the exercises at the cemetery.

AT SCHAFER'S HALL. At the conclusion of the services at the cemetery the procession was again formed and marched to Schafer's hall, I where the exercises were concluded. A short address of welcome was made by Commander Stoops which was followed by a song by Comrade H. C. Swisher en-; titled: "We were comrades together in the days of the war." The Euterpean club followed with the Bong "Another year has passed away," after which the Hon.

John A. Murray was introduced by Chaplain A. C. Easter and delivered I a most excellent address. Mr.

Murray is a fluent, polished speaker and a cultur ed gentleman. His oration was certainly one of the best ever delivered in this city and was greatiy enjoyed by all who heard it. The only mistake made was in not having the address at the cemetery in order that all citizens might have heard it, the large hall being unable to accommodate the crowd. Many persons were turned away and thus deprived of what would have been a great pleasure to them. We ire glad to be able to publish the oration in full which we feel sure will be appreciated by all readers of The Chronicle.

THE ORATION. Another year is added to the cycle of ages. The Grand Array of the Republic is now mustering for annual roll call. From ocean to ocean, from lake to gulf, Is heard the sound of muffled drum as battalion and squadron gather to count their missing dead. Shot and shell no longer plow their furrows of death through living ranks; but the sickle of time casts here and there where falls a hero who wore the blue.

Thrice solemn is this occasion when we reflect that the day is not far distant when the last veteran of your order must answer to the roll call beyond the mystic sea of death, but "To live in Hearts we leave behind is not to die." In our meditations we are transported to the scenes of '61. You, my loyal countrymen, saw with much apprehension the gathering cloud of ciril strife. Its dark, protentious mein was no mistaken token to you. You loved your country. Its institutions were 6acred.

But with all of this consciousness of i toyalty you had not realized the zealous devotion that imminent peril to yonr government now caused to beat In your bosom. The guns of Bumpter were the tocsin sound that thrilled a peaceful people with war's alarms the heart that beat with the calm repose of peace now sends the frenzied blood of insulted loyalty madly through the veins of an untempered frame. Respected brain and muscle that calmly pursued the industries of life for bread, shelter and raiment, are now bent to the highest tension for the nation's service. The stroke came like the news of a dying friend. You left the plowshare stand in the furrow, the goods on the counter, the Iron in the forge.

Oblivious of all else you prepared to stay the threatening destruction. At the nation's beck and call As you viewed the gathering strife, Your friends, your homes, your all You gave and even life, That our country might be saved. As you went forth from happy homes; as with tearful eyes you bade farewell to kindred and friends; as you thought it might be the last tear you 6hould kiss froai thost fair cheeks, you then began to realize for the first time what resolute patriotism possessed your being. In legions of solid phalanx you boldly marched to southern soil to quell the insurgent host. The nation was sated from her peril only by your prompt response to the calls for men.

What a sense of secar-ity and trust went out through the north as regiment after regiment marched through the capital of our nation and in the grand review sang "We are coming, Father Abraham, three hundred thousand more." But thousands of noblo heroes who went with you never returned. Their lives were laid on their country's alter; in the shrieking storms of death misslU they were cut down. In hurried death whispers they sent by you a parting tribute of love to the ones they left behind. From many a field of cars age and death their speech, less clay has been bourne to their sorrowing homes. It affords us pleasure to-day to pay tribute to their memory.

Sheldon's post has honored the soldier dead that now sleep in your vinclnage. As we strew their sacred graves with flowers and pause to drop a tear of sympathy we feel that more than a passing thought is due their silent graves.

No other disease approaches so stealthily.

Ballard's Horehound Syrup has removed the grip of this grim monster from many a throat. If taken in time it will effect a permanent cure, and in the worst stages it will give surprising relief.
