Jndsie Lewis' Address.
The Immortal Lincoln, while standing
upon one of the treat battlefields of the
late civil war, said: "The world will little
note or Ion remember what we lay here.
but It can never foreet what they did
here." Those were the words of the com
mander-in-chief of the greatest and most
powerrui army that was ever organized
among men.
mow ntting ana proper it la for tne
American people at this time In each re.
currlng year, when all nature Is at Its
best, to assemble together to do honor to
the memory of the dead soldiers and bv
kind and lovlnr hands strew their Braves
with lovely snd precious flowers, and to
once more recall briefly some of the stir
ring scenes that were being enacted
throughout this country from 1861 to 1865.
After a while you saw the enemy com
pletely surrounded and an unconditional
surrender took place at Appomattox. You
have seen and heard an appeal answered
by the loyal and patriotic people of this
land which you preserved, and when the
call came on the part of the lamented
president in the year 189 for 200,000 of the
young men of this nation to carry the flag
of this country into a foreign land, you
saw 1,200,000 offered, each anxious and will
ing to go and determined to follow the old
nag. in order that those Door surTerlna and
starving people might be released from the
great wrong tney were unjustly suffering.
iou nave seen tne son of tne boy who
wore the blue standing aide bv side with
the son of the boy who wore the gray, each
vying with the other that the flag and
what It represents shall be maintained and
upneia at whatever cost.
The people of this country are now
united as they never were before. All sec.
tlonal strife and sectional feeling has dis
appeared, and disappeared forever, and as
the years come and go the cause for which
you stood for and for which so many of
your comrades died for will continually
grow in the minds and hearts of vnur
countrymen.
Lt us cover the graves of these fallen
heroes over with beautiful flowers. Let us
ever keep fresh In our memories the prin
ciples for which they fought and which
iney ao successfully maintained.
At the close of Judge Lewis' orstlon tbe
procession marched to the "unknown
grave" near Soldiers' circle and in tbe
shadow of the recently unveiled Kinsman
monument, where after the Invocation bad
been asked by Rev. George Edward Walk,
rector of St. Paul's Episcopal church, Rev.
Charles J. Boardman of Red Oak, delivered
the oration. on "The Unknown Dead." -After
the vast audience had Joined tn
alnging "America," and Rev. Walk had
pronounced the benediction tba exercises
were closed by the drum corps sounding
"taps" and tba procession marched back
to Grand Army hall where It dlsbandad.

Comments of the Iowa. Press.
Waterloo Courier: Cedar Rapids Is dolna-
a good thing In standing by Coe college not
on.y with words of praise, but In a flnan.
clal way. The successful endowment of
tne college may mean much for the city in
me iuture.
Iowa City Republican: The Des Moines
Register says that In the early days the
water often came within a block of the
Register office. Is it to be Inferred that
since the early days water has not been
within a block of the Register office?
Sioux City Journal: A Sioux City burglar
Is In Jail for stealing a quarter of beef.
Sioux City Is not proud of the fact that It
has burglars, but It may not be out of
place to point out that the "burgling" In
dustry, like everything else in Sioux City,
is right up to the minute.
Cedar Rapids Republican: A leading
lawyer writes to the Des Moines Register
knocking out the idea that the raflrjad
commission must necessarily have a lawyer
member. The commission passes only on
matters of fact and all decisions are re
viewable by the courts. When a legal
opinion is wanted the state has an attorney
general who is not overworked.
Keokuk Gate City: Iowans continue to
be In evidence In a creditable way wherever
and whenever honors are to be won. A
Salem, Henry county, boy, L. M. Corsble,
has been chosen one of the editors of the
Harvard Monthly, the standard under
graduate literary magazine of that great
university. There are four students In
Harvard from that town alone and all sec
tions of the state are well represented. A
representation of four out of a total popu
lation of 548 Is not bad by any means.
Dubuque Times: The annual report of
the state geologist shows that Dubuque's
lead and zinc production has dwindled to
insignificant proportions, 116,500 being the
value reported for 1901. The low price vt
ore Is the cause assigned. If the mines of
this district have a future It Is a future
that will be developed by prospecting with
diamond drills. Geologists and old miners
suspect the presence of large bodies of ore
at greater depths than have yet been
reached In the exploration) of this region.
Bloux City Journal: Fred A. Bennett of
Bioux City, for about eight years state
bank examiner, whose name haa been much
In debate for the republican nomination for
state auditor, has announced his determina
tion not to be a candidate. Those who
know Mr. Bennett, and he haa a wide
.Miinlnlonra In thft State. knOW Wt:St a
splendid officer in the place in question he
would have made, and hts determination,
not to be changed as the Journal under
stands, will be much regretted, particularly
by those whose business relations with him
have been most intimate. With the expira
tion of his present term. Mr. Bennett will
not longer be bank examiner, and he win

ness. Cedar Rapids Republican : jlf N. H. 81"
man, cashier of the State Bank of Cedar
Falls, carries out his intention and sues
the Klrkwood House, Des Moines, for being
ejected from his room because he would not
share his bed with another man. it may
result In a decision that will be wholesome
for the traveling public. During conven
tion times hotels have everything pretty
much their own way. Railroads make spe
cial rates, but hotels make no special rates,
-un tn nut im But the rlcht to
put another man In bed with a guest of a
hotel is a most preposterous one. There
ought to be no law to compel a man to
sleep In the same bed with a atranger.
wHn th- nieat navi for hla room that
room ought to be wholly his own. But, of
course, in times of crowding, most men are
willing to be reasonable, provided they
have some voice In the selection of their
loom-mstes. The determination who such
room-mates shall be ought not to be left to
tho landlord, but to the guttata.

DISHOXEST POSTAL CLERKS.
An Inspector Says They Are Sare to
Be Detected.
t ia huae one man thinks himself
a trifle smarter than another that makes
nis tnougnis rjn imu uisuunoi .
said an old postofflce Inspector in the
Washington Star. "I can account for the
frequent arrest in all parts of the country
of employes of the postal service, espe
cially clerks In postofrices and letter car
rlera, only upon this hypothesis, and that
there Is an inherent streak In his composi
tion of dishonesty, because he knowa bet
ter than the public that one we get after
poatal thieve we never stop until we land
them In Jail. And still they go on all over
the land pilfering from letters, believing
themselves safe. It must Jar some of them
when they tumble Into the trap we set.
"It Is a matter of corresponding Interest
to remember that, aa these dishonest
clerks well know, the trap which places
the manacles around their wrists is the
same old trap, like the same old bear
trap, reliable and certain to hold fast once
It is sprung, only it catches their pilfering
hand Instead of their feet It Is the decoy
letter which the postal thief quickly and
slyly picks up and secrete about his per
son or elsewhere, and one it Is In hla

Inspector on the case closes about his
wrut and he walka to the station house
to ruminste how easily he waa caught. once

Ytrnnmmt
"Now, since every poatal employe In the
United States knows that once the officiate
are suspicious of theft alon- his rout or
postal car run. that th Inspectors lay all
sorts of trsps for him behind the bars, why
will they steal money letters with appr
hunaton practically Inevitable? Because
human nature Is the same In all callings,
and the postal employe is cast In no differ

hla environment. Yes, they know Instantly
Instinctively, whether a letter contains

feeling of a bill befor he looks at It that
It is counterfeit. W know this, too, and
that Is th reason why we fish for them
with th decoy letter and land them, thus
safeguarding th public and th depart
m,nt from To.
Th decoy letter looks no different from
any other latter, and It feels Just th same

as any letter containing money. W usually

BRADLEY,
dishonest man Strips' along the envelope
he knows that It contains money, and he
will steal it If he can. His eagerness and
disinclination to let any letter with money
go by him enables us to catch him when
we learn to a certainty the route upon
which money letters are stolen.
"Some employes are very foxy, and go on
a long time before they are detected. They
often try to place the guilt upon an Inno
cent fellow carrier in this way. In making
up their routes, and getting their mall from
the distributing tables, they handle the
mail belonging to other carriers. It la an
eay thing to detect money letters In the
other fellow's lot. snd Include them in
their own, to be purloined at leisure and
suitable opportunity.
"Suspicion naturally falla upon the Inno
cent carrier, and he Is placed under secret
surveillance. Decoy letters are mailed, and
by other means It Is endeavored to fix the
guilt upon him. If our usual methods fall,
we, too, become nusplclous that an lnno--cent
man Is being 'worked.' We drop him
and try to locate the actual thief, and It
Is not long before we have him In Jail.
Sometimes two dishonest employes will
work together, but as a rule postal thieves
are like the lone highwayman and prefer
to go it alone. , ,
"You see, the dishonest employ fool
ishly believes that he can beat the game,
and an arrest in a. large office haa only a
temporary deterrent effect upon the other
secret thieves therein. They are more
cautious and may perhaps He low for a
brief time, but not for long. It Is a singu
lar but true official fact that once a man
begins to steal money letters he seldom
voluntarily stops, and we have had men
confess that they had been at this nefarloua
business for years and would have re
mained at It aa long as they were In the
service but for their arrest. It is an easy
way to make money for the time being to
the clerk or carrier whose salary does not
meet his expenses. He becomes embold-ened-by
the confidence in his cleverness to
secrete the money letters forgetful that
with each report of theft the efforts of the
inspectors are redoubled to entrap him, and
the closer are drawn the meshes of the
net slowly but surely being entwined
around him. Very often the guilty man
la positively known to the Inspectors for
months before they csn catch him red
handed, the thief In the meantime be
lieving hln.aelt undetected."
V IN A DRESS St'IT CASE.
Carpenters Who Carry Their Tools
About In Style.
Without being in the least bit ashamed
of his trade, whatever it may be, th mod
ern mechanic when he bas occasion to go
about the city to and from a Job carrying
a kit of tools, la very likely to carry it
in a manner less conspicuous than for
merly, reports the New York Sun. His
garb also, unless he Is engaged in somo
trade that leaves Its mark on one'a clothes,
Is Just like that of the majority of tbe men
be meeta.
So there waa met the other day, going
back to the ahop, apparently from some
Job that he had been at work on some
where, a carpenter, who might have been
thought to be somebody going traveling,
If It bad not been for tbe end of a ssw
sticking out of one end of bis dress suit
case.
A million years ago, more or less, when
a carpenter went anywhere In the city, be
carried bla tools In an open box, having a
bandle at the top of a lengthwlae middle
partition In it, this box being much like an
exaggerated knife tray. One end of the
long rip saw that la an Inevitable part of
tbe carpenter's kit projected beyond th
end of the box, resting In a slit cut tiers
to receive It.
But this up-to-date carpenter bad every
thing packed in a narrow and more con
venient compass, in a dress suit case, and
not only out of tha way, but out of sight,
all but about a foot of tbe rip aaw, which
.projected from one end of tba case, through
a slit mad for It.
It did aeem at first a little odd, no
doubt, to nee a man carrying a ault caaa
with a saw sticking out of ons end, but
there is no manner of doubt all the earn
that this is tba very latest and most
strictly up-to-date method of carrying a
kit of carpenter's tools.
