of the REPUBLICAN'S correspondents, who by the way is a farmer, has something to say aiMut city scales.

Councilman A. F. Lough seems to be courting a good deal of notoriety over the city scale agitation. He conveys the idea that the grain dealers are opposed to them which is not true. We know of none of them that are.

They favor city scales, giving the farmer the right to weigh or not as he sees fit, but are opposed to any compulsion In the matter. If Mr. Lough win manifest less vindictiveness against those who disagree with his pet theory, or rather hobby, people would take more stock In what he has to say.

REPUBLICAN IS very glad to publish notices for benevolent purposes free of charge. It will also appreciate any job work that may be given it by managers of these philanthropic associations.

Seldom has there been a more delightful day for honoring the dead soldiers thaii Monday last. A splendid rain the preceding day laid the dust, cooled the Atmosphere and all nature seemed aglow with brightness and good cheer. Crowds of people began to arrive early Monday morning and by ten o'clock hundreds of visitors thronged the streets ready to assist in the excises and to witness the parade.

The Spanish war, no doubt, has created an increased interest in this day. The city was handsomely decorated with flags and bunting and more than the usual number of small flogs wore carried by individuals. The procession formed on South Sixth street and at promptly ton e'clock started in the following order: Cornet Band. EsthervlUe volunteers, with muskets and fixed bayonets. Vanderburg Post, G.

A R. Sons of Veterans. Woman's Relief Corps, Martial band. Boys with cannon. About 550 school children (each carrying a flag.) Modern Woodmen Camp.

Salisbury's residence, (where the sick veteran was bolstered up to see the grand procession) thence to the East Side Cemetery where the usual decoration program was carried out. In the afternoon the procession again formed at the same place and mai-ched in the same order (except the schools) to the opera house where the following program was rendered. Invocation Rev.

After the exercises at the opera bouse the West Side Cemetery was visited and graves of old soldiers and graves of their wives were decorated, with impressive ceremonies, after which a salute was fired by the volunteer company. In the evening exercises were held at the opera hause in honor of the unknown dead.

The representation of the different states by 45 little girls dressed in white and the grand march, as arranged by Mrs. A. W. Slaught, was very pretty and reflected great credit upon the lady having it in charge. The exercises for the day were the most interesting of the kind ever held in EsthervlUe and one of the most commendable features of all was the absence of all sporU and doings tending to desecrate thetpurposes for which the day was set apart.
