EMMET TINLEY IS ORATOR OF THE DAV

of the Warn Julian Strnwn of
Omaha Deliver * Add red * nt the
( Jruvc of Unknown Dead.
The pexjplo of Council Bluffs turned oul
en masse yesterday to pay tribute to the
soldier dead who fought to preserve the
union In the early 60 and to do honor tc
the 'bravo ' men now nt the front. Not foi
many years has Decoration day been st
generally observed and all classes seemei' '
Imbued with the patriotic spirit. Bus In CBS
during the afternoon was almost entire ! }
suspended and vast crowds thronged the
sidewalks to watch the parade on Its waj
to the cemetery. The exercises at Falrvlew
cemetery attracted a gathering of several
thousand people and there were few grave :
that did not bear some floral tribute In
commemoration ot the day.
The parade , In charge of Captain L. II ,
Cousins , commander ot Abe Lincoln post ,
Grand Army of the Republic , formed short ! }
before 2 o'clock on the south side of BayllE
park , with the head of the column resting
on Pearl street. The column was headed
by n platoon of police and the Council
Bluffs union band under the leadership ol
Colonel Virgil David. Following behind
Captain Cousins and his mounted aides
came the two companies of the High school
cndots In command of Major Butts. Next
to the cadets and headed by McFaddon's
drum corps marched the veterans of the
civil war , about 100 being In line. Follow
ing the veterans were about twenty sol
diers of the Spanish-American war and ox-
mcmibers of the Iowa National guard , In
command of H. W. Martin , who served In
the First United States cavalry. Among
the number was Private Grey of Orlgsby's
Rough Riders. Then came , the Bluffs com
pany , Uniform rank , Knights of Pythlns ,
the uniformed company of Foresters of the
Modern Woodmen of America , Council
Bluffs lodge , Ancient Order of United Work
men , the lire department , with the appa
ratus gaily decorated. The speakers of the
day and the members of the Woman's Re
lief corps and Sanitary Relief commission
brought up the rear In carriages. The ex-
members of the Dodge Light guards and
Company L carried a handsome floral de
sign , an "S" in red , white and blue flow
ers , the Insignia ot the Eighth Army corps ,
" " " " which they
also bearing "L" and 51 ,
placed upon the grave ot Private Tucker
of the Fifty-first Iowa ,
The women ot the Sanitary Relief com
mission took charge of the graves ot other
soldiers In the late war. In memory of
Wallace Bollln , who died of smallpox at
Manila , flowers were placed upon the grave
of his mother in Walnut Hill cemetery.
Flowers were also strewn by the members
of the commission on the graves ot Leo
Ferrin In the Catholic cemetery , and John
Niger in Falrvlew , who died In southern
camps.
The exerciser at Falrvlew cemetery were
held on the shady side of the hill , where a
stand had been erected for the speakers. Hon.
E. L. Shugart acted ns president of the day.
The exercises were opened by prayer by Dr.
D. C. Franklin , presiding elder of the
Methodist church.

Following the singing of "America , " in
which everyone Joined , Mr. Shugart Intro
duced Emmet Tlnley , the orator of the
day. Ho said , In part :
This Is the day the patriotism of the
American people has dedicated to the mem
ory of Its heroes. In the beautiful month
of May , when nature clothes the earth with
garlands and flowers we have set apart this
day In honor of our nation's scad. From our
loyal devotion and patriotic observance of
the national holiday the survivors of the
union volunteer army realize that the sac
rifices for the country will never bo forgot-
ton.
ton.With each recurring year we find eorao
comrade who was with us the year before
now mustered witlj the great majority be-
vend the crnvo. Wn nro reminded bv time
.
that the veterans of the civil war are In fact
growing old. But a few years more the ob
servance of this day must bo loft to a later
generation. May the gratitude of the Amer
ican people never lose its warmth and may
the tlmo never come when in this broad
land , under the shadow of the flag that your
val'or saved from dishonor , there will be a
single mound covering the sacred dust of a
volunteer soldier unmarked or unkcpt. That
on each Decoration day to the end of tlmo
a grateful people will pause on their busy
march of life to plant a rose or a Illy or a.
few violets to evidence the ever blooming
character of the love and gratitude of the
American people.
On this particular Decoration day , wo of
the generation born since the close of the
war , realize moro completely than ever before -
fore the full measure of suffering nnd misery
that war entails. The human heart Is like
the mind It must learn Its lessons from ac
tual experience. Wo must taste of war's
challco of woes to know Its bitterness.
Within n year wo Imvo endured some of the
anguish of the early months of 1861. I will
not tire you with a recount of the incidents
that are yet fresh In the minds of every
one. I can not tell you more of Dewey , the
idol of the American people , and the ( ? reat-
cst naval commander the world has over
known , than Is fa ml Mar to nil.
Ills victory was the vengeance ) of the
Maine.
The history written In the few short hours
In Manila bay by his six-Inch guns'amazed
the world , so like a dream does It now ap
pear. When the Rclna Christina bowed its
Cnstlllan turret to the sea In acknowledg
ment of defeat , Spain ,
"Llko chaos hushed , stood listening to the
noise ,
And wondered at confusion not Its own. "
Ono would think the Justness of our cause
and the grandeur of our achievement would
completely hush the voice of criticism.
But It remained for "cultured Boston" to
attempt n discredit upon American loyalty
and to sow the seeds ot discontent and trea
son , Fortunately the heart and brain of the
American soldier arc barren of nurture for
such noxious growths. Such appears could
but fall upon deaf ears. IIu has no patience
with the Bostonlan demagogue. Ho never
retreats or deserts. Shoulder to shoulder
our bravo boys march In unbroken and united
column , following the dear old flog , Wash
ington's Hag , Lincoln's flag , McKlnloy's flag.
"Firm paced and slow , a horrid front they
form ,
Still as the breeze , but dreadful as the
storm.
Low murmuring1 sounds along their banners
111' .
Revenge or death the watchword and
reply. "
Can It be that the sacred blood of the im
mortal Warren has no potency to stifle such
ebullitions of pscudo patriotism within the
very shadow of Bunker hill. In the army ,
Individual thought Is banished and obedience
takes control. Right or wrong the march Is
steadily onward , inspired by a devoted con
fidence that the flnaf decision of the Ameri
can people Is always right. We rejoice Jn
the high degree of freedom allowed under
our law , and so Jealous are wo of this car
dinal privilege that a censorship is most In
dignantly resented. However , this freedom
IB for use and not abuse. Who can defend
the disloyal , yea , almost Jreosonnble , utter
ances of the sensational press of today. The
calcitrant editor scatters his wares as earn
estly as a Kansas cyclone deed a stack ot
hay. Ho knows ns little about truth ns n
Spanlih gunner docs about target practice.
He couldn't tell n fact from a fable If the
salvation If his miserable llttlo soul de
pended upon 't. When the administration Is
for peace nnd to avoid war , the gushing
hoity-toity of the Squedunk Howler is
printed In bold faced carmine. When the nd-
ministration is "for war as n means ol
peace , " his meekness becomes beainlnnly pa
thetics Fortunately the trlvllotis Ipso dlxlt of
the yellow Journalist nnd political dotard
commands but little attention nnd less obedl-
nnce. In this same line 1 must extend my
compliments to the governor ot South Da
kota. What n disappointment his course
must have been to his regiment , at the time
In the very center of the firing line nround
Manila. Just think of the governor of n
stnto demanding the president ot the United
States order the American army to retreat.
I find my Indignation untcthcrcd when I
contemplate such a ridiculous spectacle. In
fact , have no patience with such precious
pieces of asslnlnlty. I mean no reflection
upon the patient donkey those governors
who arc donkeys don't know It , so , of course ,
they are not to blame , nnd donkeys that become -
come governors don't know It , and , ot course ,
they are not to blame. The reflection Is
mutual and no apology Is necessary. Thanks
to the loyalty of Iowa , her olllcers and her
people , our regiment has been spared the
embarrassing humiliation most cruelly
forced upon the bravo boys of our alstor
state.
Glorlou * Iowa.
But then , Iowa Is always right. Glorious
lowal Greatest unit of a great union.
I think 1 can voice the sentiment of every
mother whoso son Is with the Fifty.first
Iowa volunteers on the other side of the
glebe In n land of malignant fevers and un-
dur the deadly flro of a half civilized foe.
The dearest wish they have Is for the safe
return of their boys , but glvo them rather
the cheerless memory of the tomb than their
iftiirn In dishonor.
Let us on this holy day do our full duty
to the memory of the dead defenders ot the
Hag. As we tread lightly , solemnly nnd
reverently by the sacred mounds of earth ,
let us drop a tear from our heart of hearts ,
mingling our affection with the consecrated
earth. Let us breathe our purest prayer
that the sufferings of our heroes shall not
have been In vain and If there Is any Justice
In eternity , an army of saints will answer
the nmen. American volunteer nrmy we salute -
lute you. In the name of your every vic
tory from Concord nnd Lexington to Maloloa
wo honor you. Your patriotism has pre
served for us the grandest country on the
face of the globe and the best government
known to man.
Aililrcnn of .Indue Strawn.
The addrosB at the graves of the unknown
dead was delivered by Judge W. S. Strawn
of Omaha. After speaking In a general way
of the debt e > f gratitude that the country
owes to the heroes of the war of the re
bellion who saved from the rooks of de
struction a nation that today stands flrst
and foremost among the nations of the
world Judge Strawn proceeded to pay trib
ute to these unknown heroes of the war
whex e bones Ho bleaching on southern bat
tlefields or In unknown , unmarked graves.
The speaker said , In part :
"Whllo wo owe all due reverence to these
magnificent heroes whose names are on
every tongue today Grant , Sheridan , Logan ,
the martyred Lincoln and we can sound
none too loudly their praises nor make too
deep and reverent our tribute to them , we
must not forget these nameless heroeshum -
bio though they were , who , too , gave their
all that the nation might live. On this day
on which we delight to revere and respect
the memories of our soldiers , It Is our espe
cial duty to remember the unknown dead.
To our known heroes are sung songs of
praleo and tribute , to their memories grand
tombs and monuments have been erected ,
and loving relatives and friends care ten
derly for the green graves In which they
lie. But the unknown hero slumbers In a
nameless grave , perchance neglected and
grown over with weeds , or possibly hie bones
lie white nnd ghastly on some silent bat
tlefield where lie sacrificed his life for his
flag. Yet he was a hero as great as any
who lie In a known grave , nnd wo owe to
him a tribute as deep and ns reverent.
"Our unkonwn dead soldiers did not come
from the best of families , nor from homes
that had been bountifully bestowed with
this world's goods. They were often Igno
rant , uncouth outcasts of noclety , frlendfess ,
homeless. I can remember seeing this un
known soldier marching up to the recruitIng -
Ing office , long , lank , awkward fellows , most
of them , too often stamped with the mark
of dissipation and a careless life ; they
seemed to come from nowhere in particular
xnd were wanderers on the face of the earth.
Perhaps some of them had records of mis-
Jecds that made them seek a nameless , un
known existence , but they made good sol
diers and they fought with a bravery on the
fields of battle that was never excelled. No
men were more patient in camp ; in their
lives they had enjoyed but little of comforter
or pleasure nnd they did not expect much ;
the camp , with its outdoor life , Its hard
marches , Its scant food at times , nil were
taken without complaint. They took every
thing as they found It possibly with one
exception they frequently failed to take
goodnaturedly the soap that was doled out
to them.
"But they had hearts full of patriotism
and loyalty for the flag nnd they made the
best kind of bunkraates ; they were unselfish
In privation and Jubilant In the hour of
victory. Is It not meet , then , that wo pay
them tribute ? Wo ought to pay homage to
the known dead , but our deepest sympathy
ought to go out to these name
less ones whoso friends , If they had
any , know not whore they lie. They went
to war because there waa In them that man
hood that loves Its country. They had not
much to give , but such as It wan they gave
It freely , willingly. If they were often Ig
norant , If they were without culture nnd
refinement , they conducted themselves llko
veterans , grandly nnd nobly , nnd they deserve -
serve all of the praise nnd honor wo can
now bestow upon thorn. "
The oxerclses nt the cemetery were
brought to a close by prayer by Rnv. G , E.
Walk ot St. Paul's Episcopal church.

DI7S MOINKS , May 30. ( Special
gram. ) The weekly bulletin Insucd by the
Iowa weather and crop service today sum
marizes crop conditions ns follows : The
flrst three days of the week were sllghtlj
cooler than usual and generally fair. The
last three days brought much higher tem
perature and showery conditions , which de
veloped severe Rtonns of rain , hall and wind
In numerous localities on May 27 and 28 ,
Considerable local damage resulted Iron :
effects of hall and floods. The corn nnil
wheat district reports received by wlro show
the following excessive amounts of rainfall
at the stations named : Cedar Rapids , 4.81
Inchca ; Clinton. 4.35 ; Hampton , 3.92 ; Ogden ,
3.93 ; Waterloo , 3.79 ; OttarfhalltownMl ;
Forest City , 4.E6 ; Iowa City , 2.56. The
heaviest storms of the week swept througl
the central and northern sections of th
state.
Some progress has been made In planting
corn In districts where the eoll was mun
clontly dry. In considerable portions of th
northern section the work Is practically
completed , though some will need replant
Ing. Kor the state at largo It Is estimate )
that about three-fourths of the corn area
has been planted , ibut the condition of th
stand secured In the early planted flclcla
will necessitate more than the usual amoun
of replanting. Under existing circumstance
It Is probable that the planting of portion
will not bo completed In all districts before
Juno 10. Experience In past years prove
that with the Boll In good condition am
with thorough cultivation n fair yield o
corn may bo secured from good seed plantei
nt that date.
Grass and grain crops arc generally doing
very well.

There Is a sensation on foot at the state
house , which It Is believed will culminate It
the resignation of State Labor Commissioner
O'Bleuness. O'Dlenness has been unable to
attend to the duties of his office for some
time nnd has not been at tlio ofllco since
about April 1. Ho was operated upon a
short time ago. It waa said that the opera
tion disclosed the existence of an abnorma'
growth on the underside of the skull , which
pressing It upon the brain , produced a tem
porary suspension ot the mental functions ,
causing Intermittent aberrations. O'Dlen-
ness claims to have received the Injury
which led up to tlio operation by falling
from a bicycle something over a year ngo.
At times he has been at the office and ap
parently suffering no pain , but lately ho
had on different occasions wandered away
from home and been found In an uncon
scious condition. It is also stated that
O'Blennecs , during the time ho suffered
from his Injury and was in a condition of
Irresponsibility , had overcharged the state
In Ills expense accounts ; that hotel bills
have been charged > for stops at different

stract of which follows :
Slnco the last biennial report the sum ol
$4,000 has been paid to the treasurer of the
board and society. O\vlng to the necessary
outlay In preparing plates for various pub
lications the board's contribution to the
treasury of the society was not so large ns
In former biennials. The not assets arc
$133,321.66 , Including the amount paid on
the new publication house and printing
plant , $35,023.02 , and the Rung legacy , $13-
835.83. Royalties on books of worship ,

delegate from the general council of the
Lutheran church of North America. It was

Pennsylvania synod delegation out of the
convention at Fort Wayne. This resulted
In the organization of the general council.

welcome and frequent applause. Consider

manner In which the synod received his
sentiments. President Brecklnrldge re
sponded on behalf of the synod.
