Memorial Day.
Sunday was a very disagreeable day
on account of tho high wind, but this
did not to any extent interfere with
the popular observance of Memorial
Day. During tho forenoon the G. A.
R. post und the W. R. C. went to the
two cemeteries nnd strewed flowera
upon the graves of the doparted sol
diers, and held the customary ritulaistic
service. The attendance at the North
Platte cemetery was unusually large.
In the afternoon a service was held
at tho Keith theatre, the G. A. R. ser
vice being read nnd music furnished by
school children and others. The atten
dance was fairly largo.
In tho evening a largo audienco as
sembled at tho thoatro and wero enter
tained by nddressos by Rev. Gilman
nnd Rov. Porter, and selections by a
male quartette. Rov. Gilman, who
has been stationed as a missionary in
China for seven years, told of the re
spect n citizen of tho United States
rcceivos in China, a card bearing the
inscription "I am a citizen of tho Unit
od Statos" insuring tho boarer cour
teous (roatment. Rov. Gilman's re
marks woro along the lino of gratitude
to our forefathors for tho bonefit we
enjoy today.
Tho principal addross of tho evening
was mado by Rov. Portor, and it
proved a most able and interesting one,
in which high tribute was paid to the
departed bravo as well as to the
veterans still living.

the North Platto boys. Corbln Jones
occupied the box for the locals and did
good work, but his support was poor.

AN ARRAY OF SPLENDOR.
A Pageant of Spectacular Glory Shown
by the Hagenbeck-Wallace Shows.
Tha circus parade having bocomo an
honored institution with tha public, and
tho.event lookod forward to with keen
interest, tho great Hngenbeck-Wallace
Shows, which exhibit hero Saturday,
Juno 12th have not abandoned a feature
so essential to complete realization of
all circus day calls for and promises.
Rather, thcro has been greater effort
than over before to make tho pageant
of the present season more inspiringly
beautiful and novel then thoso that
havo gone before. With cnmplebo
reconstruction and enlargement of the
Hagertbcek-Wallaca Shows tbo Usi
became eofflparntively easy mureby
calling for a financial outlay In propoft.
tion to that in other departments. The
thousand people and four hundred
horses woro sufficient in nimber, but
tho demands of tho parade designers
wero for new floats, dens, cages, lairs,
tableau cars, band vehicles, chariots
nnd now costumos and trappings
throughout. An appropriation amount
ing to a Bmall fortuno was called for
and mado. Artists who havo made a
specialty of festival decoration designed
tho many new wagons, directed thoir
construction and personally worked out
the splendid color schemes. Expert
costumers designed nnd constructed
tho variegated uniforms and regalia,
using the richest clothes and finest
materials. Tho clothes of gold and
Bilver and the howdahs with which the
elephants are covered and bedecked aro
of Oriental design and architecture and
rich in coloring beyond description,
flhgreed trappings of tho horses nnd
their bejoweled bridles nnd head-dresses
nre triumphs of tho art of the harness
maker nnd silversmith. Banners an
heraldic devices nre of embroidered
silks and satins. The Oriental section
lends a picturesquonoss beyond compare.
Animnl cages containing rare and
wonderful wild beasts, trained to obey
tho mnstor-will of man, aro disclosod
to tho astonished gaze, while tho
marvelous zoological exhibits are.
shown in all their savago beauty. Such
is tho voritablo fairyland of pageantry
outshining the Arabian nights and
feasts of India, gathered together in a
prado that has never before been
equaled by a circus aggregation.

Mrs. G. Smith, North Platto, Nob.,
says: "Af tor recovering from nn at
tack of typhoid fever, our little boy
suffered for nbout n year from pains
through his back and a badly disordered
condition of his kidneys. Ho had a
constant feeling of weakness and nt
times was so languid that ho could
hardly drag himself around. Tho kid
ney Bccretiona woro too frequent in
pnsBngo and part of tho timo ho hail no
control over them. There was a dull
heavy ache through his back and sides
that annoyed him terribly and though
wo consulted doctors about his caso,
the medicine they prescribed did not
bring any permanent benefit. A few
months ago we learned of Down's Kid
ney Pills and procured a box at A. F.
Strcitz's drug store. Tho prompt re
lief our son received from tha uso of
this remedy was very gratifying1 and I
am glad to say that ho was finally re
stored to good health".
