The Memorial day exercises of ,the Grand
Army of the Republio were held yesterday
afternoon In the First Christian church,
where part of the program as originally
planned, was carried out. The oration of
the day waa delivered by Rev. A. E. Burlff.
pastor of Trinity Methodist church, while
a band from Omaha under the leadership
of R. Gunnoude rendered a number of
patrtotlo selections.
The rain prevented the exercises being
held In Baylies park as planned Friday,
after It was deemed Inadvisable to hold
them at the cemetery as has been the cus
tom for years. No attempt waa made to
parade, but the members of Abe Lincoln
post marched from the post headquarters
to the church headed by the bund. The
exercises were attended by an audience
which barely half filled the church.
The placing of flowers on the graves in
the several cemeteries was carried out by
committees, each grave having been marked
with a small flag Friday by Major Mc-Fadden.
