III. LEW WALLACE (HE PAYS
NIFIGENT TRIBUTE I0 OLD VETERAHS
Very Appropriate Services Held at the Presbyterian Church Pre
vious to the Decorating of the Soldier's Graves, Which Latter
Services Were Conducted by Little Girls.
From Friday'! Dally.
The morning was fair and
pleasant yesterday and the line of
march for the Decoration day
service was formed near the 0. A.
R. hall, as announced in the Jour
nal. The W. II. C, the fl. A. R.
and the city ollicials all participat
ed in the procession to the church,
where the service was commenced
at 9:15. On the platform was the
commander of McGonihie post,
Edwin Bales; President of the W.
R. C. Mrs. Cowlos, Superintendent
N. C. Abbott, Mayor J. P. Saltier,
'Rev. I,. V. (iade, orator of the
day; Mrs. George Dodge and Rev.'
A. L. Zink. Superintendent Ab
bott presided.
The service was opened by a
prayer by Rev. Zink. The Cilee
club, with Miss Verna Cole at the
organ, sang "The Call to Arms."
Mrs. George Dodge then read Lin
coln's address at the dedication of
the battlefield of Gettysburg as a
national cemetery. After the read
ing the Glee club sang a medley
in which many of the war-time
airs were blended. The old songs
seemed to stir memories of the
dark days of the rebellion, and
many eyes were moist with the
tears which recollection caused to
spring unbidden to the eyes. Mr.
Abbott (hen announced (he speak
er, and Rev. Clade began his ad
dress, preceding his discourse
with a few preliminary remarks in
which he expressed his apprecia
tion of the honor the post had
conferred upon him by inviting
him to address (hem, and spoke in
part as follows:
I am glad to speak to you old
soldiers of the rebellion in com
memoration of our soldier dead
of the patriot i sm of those who fell
in battle by your side. This is a
time for sentiment, a lime for
flowers, a time for tears. It is
because of you men and your
comrades dead that our Union
stands one and undivided. Had
it not been for the heroism of jou
men Ne Plus Ultra would have
been inscribed on our country's
future.
. While out in our city's ceme
tery yesterday I saw an old monu
ment, and by careful scrutiny I
read (he words, "gone home," but
time had well night worn (hem
away. The greatest monument
that this nation has erected in
honor of the brave men of (he
'60s is more lasting than the en
during marble. It is a monument
of memory and memory never
dies.
I have an optimist ic view of this
republic. I do not believe with
some that (he seeming spirit of
unrest is pushing us toward the
verge of ruin. I do not believe
with those who are wont to say
that this republic is fast running
its course. It is yet in its infancy,
and its greater and grander day is
yet to come. And as the men of
the 'OO's went forward with the
blood of the revolutionary fathers
coursing through (heir veins, so
should a foe arise within or with
out threatening the vitals of (his
Union, the men of this day with
the blood of the fathers of (he
civil war coursing through their
veins, would go forward to give
their life's blood to wash every
stain from the stars and stripe of
Old Glory.
I cannot pass on this morning
without speaking of him who was
as tender as a little child, and yet
as immovable as the eternal rock
who carried the. welfare of this
republic on his great heart the
immortal Abraham Lincoln. When
(he nation was in the throes of a
great civil war; when the struggle
was (o decide as the great chief
tain himself said, whether a na
tion dedicated to liberty could live,
Abraham Lincoln was the man
who was equal to the (ask. He
was the guiding and controlling
star in our national life. And if
you ask whence was his training
and who had laid the principles of
righteousness in his life which
were to withstand in the hours of
awful struggle?
Disasters filled the land with
horror. Armies moved according
to his orders. Loud were the
clamors against him, hut out of
the darkness and chaos and con
fusion of public sentiment there
shone the light of victory; and in
the midst of tempestuous fury,
from the weariness of public trials
and personal threats, we hear the
tired president, the friend of (he
lowly, I he. leader of (he great, the
lover of the nation; supreimis
maximus the greatest American
"he who spoke rebellion down
and liberty to the stars" we hear
him declare, "All that I am or may
be I owe. to my sainted mother."
He believed in freedom and (he
equality of man at a lime when
American ideals seemed to be fad
ing away, "and when the time
came," said one, "that the world
wanted a great man, a new trail
led them out through (he woods,
up the hill to the log cabin, and
the world walked up and rapped
on the door Abraham Lincoln, so
big, so high, so tall, was at home."
I want you old soldiers to know
that you are not going to be for
gotten. Your sacrifices are going
to be remembered. Rest assured
(hat your deeds of heroism will be
recited by preacher, and poet, and
orator, until time shall be no
more. And each recurring spring
time, when the birds sing and the
(lowers bloom, the children of (his
generation, and of generations yet
unborn with affectionate hands,
will gather earth's sweetest and
fairest flowers, and twine them
into wreaths of love and garlands
of beauty in memory of the brave
men w ho faced I he frowning bat
lie's front.
Now let them sleep, our fallen
heroes, both of the blue and the
gray sectionalism and strife all
gone, and the nation's discord
silenced into peace. Let the sum
mer dowers', with waving branch
and golden blossoms and crimson
hues, crown their last resting
place in our cemeteries, in wood
ed glens, by mountain river,
stream and sea. There let them
rest beneath the sod the blue and
the gray, until God shall call them
from their long sleep.
At the close of Rev. (lade's ora
tion (he Glee club sang "Tenting
Tonight on the Old Camp
Ground," and Rev. W. L. Austin
pronounced the benediction. The
audience was requested to stand
in (heir places while (he (1. A. R.
and W. R. C. and (he cily officials
marched out. Conveyances were
provided for (hem lo (he cemetery.
The procession was again formed
under (he direction of Captain
Morrison, and proceeded to (he
cemetery, where (he W. R. C. held
the service for (he "Unknown
Dead." The service was conducted
by Mrs. Howies, president of the
society, and the beautiful ritual
of the order was used.
The members of Hie W. R. C.
circled about the mound erected
for the ceremony, while inside the
circle were the fifteen little girls,
tin.' committee on decoration. A
larger outer circle was formed by
Hie members of McConiliie post
G. A. R. and (he three circles join
ed in the service. After a prayer
by Rev. A. L. Zink, the committee
on decoration performed their
task of strewing (lowers on the
graves of every soldier buried in
Oak Hill and (he Holy Sepulchee
cr meleries.
Since last Decoration day seven
ii"W graves have been dug in the
cemetery and (he roster of (he
soldiers dead increased by that
number. Those added during the
las year were: John Duke, David

J. V. Slradley, a traveling sales
man of Greenwood, Neb., received
serious and perhaps fatal injuries
Wednesday morning when the
automobile in which he was riding
turned a double somersault, at a
point one and one-half miles
northwest of Raymond. The in
jured man is now resting easily at
a hospital in Lincoln and Slradley
is suffering from a broken collar
bone, a fracture at the base of Ihe
skull and severe contusions about
the hip and hack. II is thought
that he also sustained internal in
juries. The accident happened at
about 11 o'clock in Ihe morning.
Slradley was driving a Iwo-seated
car and was just passing the farm
house of H. II. Eorke. It is re
lated that as the machine struck a
culvert it shot upward, turned two
complete revolutions in Hie air,
ond finally landed at the side ol
the road. It was traveling at n
high rate of speed, so that when it
touched earth again it was com
pletely demolished. Although the
driver was thrown some distance,
he did not lose consciousness.
