DccoratioB Day.
It is the day set apart to pay
tribute to the brave men who
gave up their lives that this
Nation might live. It is the clay
the feeble survivors of that
memorable struggle , assemble in
their Grand Army posts and aid
ed by younger friends place gar
lands on the graves of those who
have gone before , and holding
fitting services to their memory.
The rapidly thinning ranks of
the survivors show that it will
be but a brief period when they
will cease to perform this beauti
ful and appropriate service and
the duty will have to be taken
up entirely by the younger gen
eration we who arc now at the
half way mark in life now , but
were then only just entering up
on the school days.
On this day the nation weeps
in memory of its brave heroes.
This day arouses a two-fold sen
timent one of sorrow that so
many noble men have fallen
anothe'r of deep gratitude that
the unity of the country was
preserved , even at the great sac
rifice , and that by the preserva
tion of that union we stand today
the greatest and most respected
nation on earth. It is a holy day
and should arouse the noblest
patriotic impulses in the heart
of every true American. *
In many places , because of the
day having become a National
holiday , sports and festivities of
a character wholly unworthy of
its commemoration are indulged
in to a more or less extent , but
this feature is becoming unpopu
lar as it should and the day is
more generally observed now as
it was intended it should be ,
than it was a few years ago.
In Broken Bow all business
houses were draped in comformi-
ty with custom and so far as
possible and practicable business
was suspended especially during
the services held at the M. E.
church beginning at 2 o'clock in
the afternoon.
At 10:30 : a procession was
formed in front of the G. A.-R.
hall composed of a life and drum
corps , Co. , M. , Neb. National
Guards , members of the G. A.
R. and W. R. C. , Spanish-Ameri
can war veterans , school children
and citizens in carriages and
proceeded to the cemetery where
the graves of comrades were
decorated , the procession being
nearly a mile in length.
In the afternoon at the M. JJJ' ' .
church Memorial services were
held , the address being delivered
by Rev. J. R. Teagarden whose
remarks were fitting and atten
tively heard by one of the largest
audiences that ever assembled in
the church.
Nearly Drowned.
Just before noon yesterday the
two little girls , age 2 and 4 years ,
of Mr. and Mrs. S. F. Simonson ,
were playing and throwing sticks
in a pool _ of water caused by a
leak in the water main and a hole
dug in an attempt to fix it , the
water being several feet deep.
While thus engaged the younger
one fell into the hole. The sis
ter's cries attracted the attention
of Miss Rose Rogers who hasten
ed to the spot and rescued the
little one who was just sinking
for the third time.
After considerable work and
application of restoratives , the
little one was brought to life , al
though for a time it appeared as
though the efforts would be in
vain.
For Rent.
Two suits of rooms and two
single rooms in the Dierks Block ,
also three rooms on north side.
