Yesterday morning 3Ir. IJ. IL llear
son came to town and reported to Sher
iff Eikenbary that Louis Pierce, a boy
about 1C years of age, had stolen his
pony, shoes, overalls and hat. The
sheriff immediately offered a reward for
the capture of th boy and also started
out to look for him. Going to Weeping
Water and learning nothing of his m m,
he bought a ticket for Nebraska City
and boarded the train for that place but
before Le had gone far a man on the
train informed him that he had
seen a boy filling that description
back at Weeping Water about 11 o'clock
and that he was on his way to Lincoln.
The sheriff immediately proceeded to
stop the train, went back to Weeping
Water, hired a team and started
out after him. lie did not . go
far until he fouud where the boy
had taken dinner and a drive of a
few hours overtook him riding along
the road in a sort of cowboy trot, lie
offered no resistenca wbatcyer and seem
ed perfectly willing to go where he was
commanded. His idea of stealing the
horse seems to have originated from his
free use of dime novels of cowboy esca
pades and such like. His object was to
get out to Colorado among tho cowboys
with his pony and then he would have a
good time. It is highly probable that
before he gets to Colorado he will have
a chance to read something more than
cowboy stones and learn a better trade
than riding ponies and driving cattle.

OUR HONORED DEAD.
Decoration Day Observed Wltn Ap
propriate Ceremonies in the
City of Plattsmouth.
AN ENTHUSIASTIC GATHERING.
A Large Crowd Assembled to Pay
Tribute to the Fallen Heroes of
the Late War.
How the Day Was Observed.
It has been a long while since such a
grand and uHhusiastic throng of people
were crathered toirelher in this city on
such a grand occasion as yesterday.
Early in the morning too sleeper was
aroused by the sound of moving feet on
the pavement which told that something
more than usual was to tak Ylacc on
that day. The people began to. arrive
from the country at an early hoond by
noon our streets were thronged with peo
ple eager to assist in the exercise of the
day. At half past one o'clock they all
were reminded that the exercises were
about to begin by an appropriate piece of
music by the B. & 31. Band at tlie corner
of 3Iain and Third streets. The members
of the G. A. It. formed in procession on
the corner of 3Iain and Fourth street, fol
lowed by the orator of the day, Hon. J.
B. Stride, and the mayor and ity coun
cil. Following these in their crdor came
tho B. fc 3L Band, Brotherhoods of En
gineers, Firemen and Switchmen, Knights
of Labor, Ancient Order of United Work
men, and Oddfellows, followed by a
large procession of teams, street cars and
pedestrians. All marched to the ceme
tery to the step of appropriate music.
It was a grand procession and the ob
server from the high schcoljll was
struck with amazement to sceibw such
a vast procession could moye along with
such little confusion. On reaching the
cemetery the precession gathered round
tho stand which had been prepared for
the occasion and the exercises were open
ed by a song, "Tenting on the Old Camp
Ground," by the Glee Club, followed with
prayer by Ilev. Alexander and a short
address by Commander Johnson. "De
parted Comrades " was next rendered by
the B. & 31. Band, after which the G. A.
Ii. detachments performed their work of
decorating and strewing flowers over the
graves of the departed heroes. On the
return of the detachments an invocation
was read by Capt. Curtis followed by
reading names of these whose graves had
'been strewn with flowers.
The B. &
Band next played
a dW
tnerinsr
. elf was
followed by. --V ,s "S
- vv. R. C, after which the song,
America, was sung by the Glee Club.
Commander Johnson then introduced
the orator of the day, Hon. J. B. Strode,
who delivered an excellent address well
suited to the occasion in his usual pleas
ing manner, followed by a song from
the Glee Club closing the exercises at the
cemetery.
The address, and in fact all the exer
cises, were listened to by a large, earnest
and appreciative audience. Of the music
we desire to speak farther. We are a
great lover of music but have never been
able to produce any ourselves and in
consequence thereof have turned our
selves into a kind of a musical critic, and
we belieye we are uttering nothing more
than facts when we say that the music
rendered yesterday wa9 equal, if not
superior, to any we have ever heard on
such occasions. The songs " Tenting on
the old Camp Ground " and " America,"
by the Glee Club, were the most soul
stirring music we have ever listened to,
and the Plattsmouth Glee Club have the
voices to render such music in a manner
to stir np all the nobler feelings of man
kind. The B. fc M. Band also deserves special
mention for the manner in which they
performed their part of the exercises.
Their music was very appropriate and
was rendered in a manner which did
much credit to each member of the band.
The exercises at the cemetery being clos
ed, the procession proceeded to march
back to the city in reversed order to
which they came, all feeling that the day
hail been spent very pleasantly and in
the very appropriate manner of paying
tribute to the departed soldiers of the
lute war. We are glad to see so much
interest manifested in this direction. It
shows that our people are a grateful peo
ple, grateful for the blessings which they
are permitted to enjoy, and to those
whose sacrifice gave them the privilege
of living under a government of free
people.

A synopsis of the speech delivered at
graves of our departed heroes by
HON. J. B. STRODE
He spoke of the pathos about the ob
servance of memorial day, and of its
ineauiug. Of the bitter feeling of loyal
men toward those in rebellion against the
government duiiug the progress of the
war; but said that kiudly memory Lad
with pity made dim and shadowy the
record of treason ami wrong.
Beautiful homes, our fields of corn,
cotton and grain he said now stand on
the ground that had been strewn' with
corps and watered with blood; school
houses uad taken the place of the slave
nn and .auman auction block. Mann-

He reminded the old soldiers present
of the fact that they were growing old
and that this memorial day, the most
cherished by them of all the holidays of
each year, marked another milestone in
the calender of their past. He gave a
vivid description of the thoughts that
went trooping through the minds of
those who saw active service, who had
Wn upon bloody fields of battle, astliey
gathered today all over the country to
pay their tribute of love to the memory
of deceased comrades. We come, he
said, today to pay the tribute of respect
due to patriotism, valor and heroism.
"With the budding spring time, when
primroses are in bloom, and violets per
fume the dell; when song birds warble
their sweetest notes, and all nature is re
splendent with gold. With hearts nvide
truer by our surroundings and filled with
gratitude for all the blessings that h ive
come to us, auel to the nation, and offer
up sweet flowers on the alter of de ilh.
Wc bring not granite momumeuts and
stately columns thac rust and crumble,
but the tender blossoms of springtime
that speak reverently of immortality.''
"We stand today" he said, "by the
graves of those who died to make men
free, by the graves of those who po.s
sesessed the novel courage to do right in
the face of scorn and contempt, of those
who preferred to die a noble death rather
than live an ignoble life, who hated
crime and slavery, and would build on
labor's holy altar the smoke of forge aud
furnace; who hated fetters for the weak
and would give them a flag that means
protection at home, abroad aud on every
sea."
He spoke of the great struggle in this
world for riches and place, and said there
was more life, religion, piety aud godli
ness in one moment of charity and sacri
fice for the good of the oppressed and
suffering, than in a million years of greed
for gain. He said the men whose graves
we decorate today were real philan
thropists and patriots. Their honor
scorned to compromise with death. They
saw their duty and as quickly did it. He
said these soleliers living and dead have
made our flag to mean more than it ever
did before. It means today freedom
to every man. It is the emblem of equal
rights to all. It signifies education
for every child high or low, rich or
poor, white or black. ( It has made the
school house the fortress of our notional
hope. It has opened the field of enter
prise to every man. The people he said

decorating in memory of the priyate
soldiers whose graves were unknown.
He paid a just tribute to the loyal wom
en of the north and especially to women
of the relief corps.
lie admonished the young people to
read carefully the history of four years
of sacrifice, and to accept the legacy
which their fathers have bequeathed
them. When the last salute has been
given over the grave of the last veteran
who move the line, and the last clod is
heaped upon his frigid breast the young
people f this generation will
be the custodians of the sacred trust
of keeping alive the memory of these'
loyal dead.
When Hannibal was a child his father
Hamilicar led him to the altar of Mars
whereon lay the body of a human victim
on the opposite sine or the altar were
Hannibal's wife and maidens; at his side
the child. Placing the little fingers of
Hannibal on the yet quivering flesh of
the victim, the stern carthagenian said:
Hannibal, son of Hamilicar, swaer by
this consecrated blood and in the presence
of that dread God of battle on whose
altar it smokes, that you will never love,
nor make peace with any Roman blood.
Should fortune, friends and weapons
fail yau, you still live and die the inex
orable enemy of Rome.
As he paused the clear tones of a child
ish voice answering "I swear" rose upon
a stillness so deep that the low crackling
of the flames that fed the altar fires was
distinctly heard Hannibal was but nine
years eld, but he sacredly kept his oath.
I would, said tho speaker, impose no
such ceremony upon my young friends
here today. But let me just as solemnly
charge you never to countenance any
movement that looks to or has for its ob
ject the dismemberment of the union, the
destruction of the grandest free govern
ment ever instituted among men. Pre
serve in yoar hearts a memory of the de
fenders of the nnion, as vernal as the
evergreens that cast their shadows upon
the graves in this cemetery. . '
