Tbo sun smttod kindly on Omahn for her
Decoration day. A cool trosU breeze blow
from the north nnd soft white clouds occa
sionally Interposed a grateful shade.
At 5 o'clock the presidential salute was
llred from the High school grounds. Flags
nnd other suitable decorations waved from
mon ot the largo buildings ana the people
wbo thronged the streets were ir. holiday
dress. There were pilgrimages to all the
. .C'jmotorlos'nnd the roads loading to them
wore thronged with carriages nnd pedes
trians.
Burly lu the morning from the summit of
nn eminence lu Forest Lawn cemetery be
neath which Omaha's burled heroes leop
their long sleon four familiar voices boomed
forth their Iron-toned salute. They were the
voices of the cannon which had cone with
ttho dead veterans through the nation's giant
Rtrugnloai.il now stand sentinel ever tholr
rot , somber und silent. The glorious
beauty of the so.l nbout them was
dotted with gray haired veterans
in their medals nud uniforms ,
dork robed women und romping children. At
half-must overhead , the urlllmnt red und
whlto of tbo Hag for which tboy fought
Jstrcamcd out against the blue of tha sky.
On nil Iitcul .SprliiR Morning.
The cemotcr.r , always beautiful , wa *
glorious In thu froshnots of its greou spring
robes. The clever nnd grasses of the
rounded bill tops nnd winding valleys grow
hnno-dcop , nnd Its surface rippled In
shilling wares under the soft breeze. The
sun shone kindly from a sky where feathers
of wbllo only Interfered with the bluo.
The lives bad budded forth in all
tbo tenderness of their spring ttmo
beauty nud gleaming among thorn rould bo
Been tbo snowwhlto shafts which murk the
homes of the dead. From tbo llttlo hill sol
anart for the gruvcs of Iho sold UTS the vlow
on nil sides was sublimely beautiful. To the
east It extends ever n deep winding valley
lurouch which ripples u little brook , now
sparkling and dancing In the sunlight , now
burying ilsolf bouonth the shadows ofo\er-
liaiiL-lnir trees. Un each sldo urotho boldly
outlined bluffs of the rolling hills
chid in tbo golden green of young corn , and.
away In tbo distance upiuust iho purple
bluffs gleams tbo whltn breast of the rlvur.
Winding in and out among the Hunts mid
shadows hko a long , conncr colored Htinko ,
lay the road loading lo the comolcry gaiei.
dotted over with vehicles of all sorts all
laden with Ilowors nud banners for the dec
oration of tbo graves. On Iho soulh the
smooth broivod bills are piled up
In huge masses of brown and groan
and hero and there among them nestle iho
farm houses , with clusteringcrovos of maple
and boxehlcr. West and north the May sky ,
deeply , wonderfully blue , sunk down into the
cuinulous masses of foliage which shut out
the landscape boyond. It Is slumbrously
silent and peaceful In this burial ground and
tbo roil of the sleepers is disturbed by no
sounds harsher than tbo meadow lark or
thrush er Iho distant llnkllng of Iho church
bollsof Florence. The wind which whispered
Ihrougb the louves aud beat tbo hillsides
into grassy waves and billows was fresh
with thu swcotness of springing Ilowors and
opening loaves.
Kxorclsos nt tlio Cemolcry.
Very few of tbo graves were forgotten.
Costly bouquets and banks of flowers lay
upon many of tbo graves and wreaths ot
green and scarlet bung about tbo whlto
headstones. Hero and there a lonely grave
\vllh only a board to mark the bead and
foot bad on it a little bunch
of grass nnd field flowors. Tbo
privos of the veterans and of tbo regulars a
llttlo further on wcro indicated by llttlo flaps
placed among the lowe ! . In every direc
tion loving forms bent over the litllo grass
plots , carefully weodlug nud beautifying Iho
graves ot their dead loved ones.
Captain John B. Sawhlll , president of the
Burial Corps , looltod out ever tha beautiful
panorama of grcon and announced that a
severe cold would prevent him from making
any extended remarks. Ho , however , slated
llmt Iho ground whore the remains of the
comraucs in arms had been laid nt rest bad
been donated by tbo Forest Lawn Comotcry
association. The land was bold In trust bv
the trustees of the several ( Jrand Army of
the Hopiiblio posts of the city ; it contained
room for 70S single graves and a number of
full lots that had or could bo purchased by
members of the posts or thnlr families. ThU ,
ho sold , would provide a rusting place for all
of tbo old soldiers of Omaha , and that it was
tbo aim of the veterans that no man
who over wore tbu blue and fought for his
country should bo laid away in tbo potter's
Hold.

The principal exorcises of the day took
place In the afternoon at Hanscom park. To
handle the crowd the street railway com

compelled to wait on street corners while

end to end and with venturesome passen
gers occupying the stops and clinging to the
baud rails.
Travel began to noticeably flow toward the

NOOAI.KB , Ariz. , May 3J. The Dally Advor
User of Negates contains an editorial saying
that hardly a day passes but that reports are
made of encountering in out of the way
placet along the border armed Mexicans ,
nearly all of them leading or driving horans ,
while the robberies of these animals are of
dally occurrence. Tbo robberies are not con
fined to tbo American sldo of the lino. There
are many reports from towns and ranches on
the Sonera sldo of horse * nnd mules being
stolon. Yesterday word came from Sarlo
that several animals have l-ooii recently
stolen from that district. At first It was
thought that these depredations were com
mitted solely by a baud of horjothlovcs wbo
have tried their best to clean up tbo range
horses in the Santa Cruz valley , butthcir _ op
erations now seem to bo so widosp'rcad and
of such magnitude that suspicion Is aroused
that there is moro in it than can bo seen on
the surface.
"Wo bollovo it our duty , " continues the
paper , "to put tbo public , us well as the ofll-
clals of tbo law of friendly governments on
tbolr guard , and wo particularly request
tbat immediate information should bo fur
nished nf any camps er lurco bodies of men
being encountered. Arizona shall bo no
asylum or recruiting ground for Mexican
bandits or rebels If wo can prevent it Tin :
mvstorlous disappearance of Uurza and the
public appearance of Joie Sandovul in our
midst arouse grave suspicions that a small
sized revolution U being worked up. "

I was tlio victim of the worst case of
Catarrh that I ever heard of. I was
entirely tleaf In one car , and all the In

mcnt benefltlwl me , and physicians said ,
"I would never bo any belter. " As a

entirely cured mo and restored my hear
lug. I have been well for years , and
