LINCOLN , Hay 2 ? . ( Special Telegram. )
Tbo stock commlislon hnuiw > of C. W. Cock-
rell in the Capital hotel closed Its doors this
morning , nnd a number of Lincoln specula
tors are mourning the loss of their margin * .
These are said to amount to $7,000 or $3,000
In the aggregate. E. M. Vr'estervelt Is In
possession , under a chattel mortgage , which
Is said to he ( or onlr $500.
Today Thomas Halley , one of Cockrcll's
customers , began suit In attachment In dis
trict court against him for $2,387.50 , alleg
ing that defendant had left the county and
concealed hlmtclf to avoid scrvlc * of sum
mons , and that he had removed his property
to defraud his creditors. Process was ac
cordingly Issued carnlsheclng the American
National Exchange bank , where Coclcrcll had
a small deposit , and another Issued for Wcs-
tervelt , who holds the chattel mortgage , but
the latter was not found In the city. An
attachment was also Issued for Cockrell'a
race stock out at the fair grounds. Before It
was served It was learned that County Com-
mlssoncr Mller had a chatt-1 mortgage on
the stock. Cockrell says his Omaha house did
little business during last Saturday's fluctua
tions , and he hits settled his obligations dollar
lar for dollar. Ilolh houses are closed with
a good prospect of remaining so , although he
thinks he may In tlmo reopen. He says he
has claims against customers aggregating
something like $17,000 , from which he expects
to realize very little , as It Is almost tmpos-
Bible to collect a debt on an option deal.
Cockrell has gouo through several financial
crises and come out on top. Three years ago
he had a balance of $30.000 to his credit In
Lincoln banks. That Is all gone.

MERE SLEEP THE BRAVE
Memories Awakened by the Twenty-Seventh
Annivortaiy of Decoration Day ,
ITS FIRST FORMAL OBSERVANCE
ot ( he Variant Crtnrtrrlcs In
Chnree ot the National ( loTrrninent
Ntimlieri ot Dead Allioec Urstlae
I'luco the Government Ounnls.
Tomorrow li the twenty-seventh anniver
sary ot the official designation ot Memorial
or Decoration day. It was General John A.
Logan , then commander In chief ot thi
Grand Army , who Issued the first order dedi
cating May 30 , 18CS. as a day to be observed
"by strewing flowers or otherwise decorating
the graves of comrades who died In defens :
of their country during the late rebellion , and
whose bodies now lie In almost every city ,
village ] hamlet and churchyard In the land.
In this observance no form of csremony Is
prescribed , hut posts and comrades will , In
their own way , arrange such fitting services
and testimonials ot respect as circumstances
will permit. Let us , then , at the time ap
pointed , " wrote General Logan , "gather around
their sacred remains and garland the pas
sionless mounds above them with the
choicest flowers of springtime ; let us raise
above them the dear old flag they saved from
dishonor ; let us In this solemn presence
renew our pledges to aid and assist those
whom they left among us , a sacred charge
upon a nation's gratitude the soldiers' and
sailors' widow and orphan. "
OAUFIELD AT ARLINGTON.
The order met with a cordial response In
the hearts of tbo people and the observance
even at that period was qulto general. The
occasion was a memorable one , particularly
so at Arlington , where the ceremonies were
most Imposing. General Logan's order was
read to the hushed and waiting crowds ,
prayer was offered by Dr. Byron Sunderland
and the oration was delivered by Hon.
James A. GnrfielJk afterward president ol
the United States , himself dying a martyr' :
death. Ho quoted Mrs. Julia Ward Howe's
"Battle Hymn of the Republic" with a most
reverential fooling. Some of bin sentence !
were Inspired with dramatic force. He- said
"As the traveler descends the Appenlnes
e sees the dome of St. Peter's rising above
lie- desolate Cnmpagna and the dead city
> ng before the seven hills and ruined pal-
ces appear to bis view. The fame of tht
ead fisherman has outlived the glory of the
iternal City. A noble llfo crowned will
eroio death rises above and outlives the
ride and pomp and glory of the mlghtlesi
mplro of the earth. I love to believe thai
o heroic sacrificeis ever lost ; that tlu
laracters of men are molded and Inspires
iy what their fathers have done ; that treas
ired up In American souls are all the un
: onsclous Influences of the great deeds o
no Anglo-Saxon race , from Aglncourt t (
unker Hill. With such Inspiration falluri
as impossible. "
The beautiful custom has become nation
fide with the passing years and ranks will

icople. Nor is it confined to the soldier deai
.lone. . The generation which has come Inti
.ction slnco the closing of the war vies -will

Eighty-three national cemeteries , contain
ng 330,700 honored dead , have been -estat
.Ished by the government. Every Indlvldu :
grave is marked by a stone tablet of granlt
jr marble. The private cemeteries , wher
.hrongs will assemble on Thursday , ma
.eem . fair and delectable , but still fairer tha
Jicy are the "national cemeteries. Treasur
has been spent without stint to make thei
i\hat they should bo nnd are the simples
and yet grandest nnd lovlest God's-acres 1
.ho world , lavishly adorned by nature , pel
ectod by art , and guarded over by the starr
Hag. There the sun shines softest , the gras
grows greenest , the flowers bloom brlghtes
the trees spread most luxuriantly. N
weeds or brambles or thistles are suffere
o enter there. The very atmosphere aroun
them is sacred , and the sympathetic visile
may fancy a halo hovering over them ; fe
n them rest exclusively the heroes wt
died in the cause of freedom.
On the battlefields where the union armli
won the Interments were so conscientious !
made that over 90 per cent of the dead wei
afterward identified. Where time permlttt
the confederate dead were also religious !
burled and their graves marked as careful !
as those of their federal antagonists. On tl
fields where the union armies were defeate
nnd driven off the enemy cared little for tl
fallen except to get them out of the way ar
under ground with the least expenditure i
tlmo and trouble. In most of the southei
prisons the union dead were burled and the
; raves marked I y their living comrales , ofte
under the most adverse and trying clrcun
stances. The result of that admirable syste
has been that the mortuary record of tl
union armies In the war of the rcbcllk
excels In completeness by long odds v
similar records ever before known.
MELANCHOLY STATISTICS.
By the end of the year 1SCS seventy-two
theto national cemeteries had been foundi
at great expewe , and In them , In conne
tlon with 820 local cemeteries In varloi
places , the government assumed charge
310,233 graves. Of these the names of 175,7
had been preserved and were indicated on t !
headstones. Concerning the remaining 14 (
4G9 , It Is alone certain that they died fightii
In the union armies , and the only Inscrlptli
that could bo placed over them was "U
known United States Soldiers. " Of the who
number then gathered Into these cemeterl
less than one-fifth reposed In their origin
graves , and these lay on battlefields who

become the sites of tl.e cemeteries. Mo
than four-fifths were removed from the TO
trenches of the battlefields at some dl
tance , or from their roadside graves ,
from hospital burial plats. Since 1SG3 till
teen additional national cemeteries lia
been established , with 14,459 more gravi

On the other hand , the friends of the c

changes but little from year to year.

Other splendid and noble monumenta
abound , but none are moro highly admired.
But the biggest national cemetery In point
of population Is the Vlcksburg , where 16,633
heroes sleep , gathered from the scattered
graves about the union lines at Vlcksburg
and from neighboring fields and hospitals.
Of these the known number Is 3,913 nnd the
unknown 12.720. The Nashville cemetery
comes close to It In number of dead , having
16,546 sleepers , taken from hospitals nnd
outlying battlefields , with a much smaller
proportion of unknown.
TUB NAMELESS DEAD.

who were nol aware of whal was really gi

A prescription was written by Dr. E. V
Leo nnd placed In a sealed envelope , whlc
was given to the clerk at the Merchani
hotel. After a committee of local clttzei
had secreted the envelope in a drug stor
Mr. Johnstone was to find the envelope nr
fill the prescription , his eyes being bliui
folded during the time. This feat was pe
formed to the letter. A committee , coi
sisttng of Arthur II. Brlggs , E. E. Howel
Leo Spratlln and a Bee reporter , took tl
envelope to the drug store at Fifteenth ar
Harney streets , where It was secreted undi
a pile ol sponges in the show case ,
few minutes after Mr. Johnstono was take
to his room at the Merchants hotel , wliei
he was blindfolded. Ho then look M
Howell's hand and led him to the carrlai
which was In waiting. As soon as the parl
had embarked , the mind reader took the roll
and lashed the horses Into a gallop. H
eyes and face werbjcoverod by nt least
dozen thicknesses ot cloth , but ho drove i

eyes open. Scores of people rushed out <
the street , thinking Hwas a runaway , ai
the passengers were Jiol really Euro that

At last Johnstone drew up at the dr
store and soon succeeded lu locating the e
velope. Then he . oxcbangod his guide f
the druggist , and started after the prescrl

bottles and In halt an hour from the tit
of the start , tbo prescription was filled , coi

that every effort was made to throw t

as tlmo she distinctly told me that ho had never
ne promised to appoint her as his deputy , but
that she mcst earnestly desired the position ,
and I Inferred from what hhe said that one
thought she hail earned It from the party.
he I have It from the gentlemen theirm-lvon
that she told two others precisely what eho
er.Us told me that Mr. Corbotl had never prom
Us ised her the dcputyshlp. Prom all her con
