Itaiii not only prevented the Memorial 3;iy exercises of the Or and Army of the Hepubllr from being held In the open at Kairmount park, biitj was responsible for (he small attendance at the bodge Light Guard' armory, where the veterans gath ered to pay tribute to their departed broth era In arms. The meager attendance out Ida the veterans thomsclves and the mem ber! of thir families prompted nev. Dr. Bmlth. pastor of the First Congregational church, who delivered the eulogy on "The Unknown Dead," to comment on the lack of interest on the part of the general )ubll In the observance of Memorial day. The oration by Rev. James O'May. pastor of the Broadway Methodist church, was conceded to be one of the most eloquent efforts of Its kind ever heard on a similar occasion In Council Rluffs. Particularly eloquent Wan the speaker's tribute to the Iart the state of Iowa and Council Bluffs had taken In the civil war. The tribute paid by him to General Orenvllle M. Dodge found a responding echo In the heart of every old soldier present, lie spoke In part as follows: Tribute of Rev. James O'May. I greet every man who rought for the old (lag. I am here to speak my gratitude for the efforts of every son of America who has "suffered that our ttag might float and who has fought that our children might be free; and may I not also add a word lor the heroism of our brave, but mistaken brother of the south, who once fought against that good old flag. 1 would that these men might pass In review before us today. If the colonial fathers who under Warren and Prescott. drove back the British at Bunker Hill, and the Yankee riflemen who fought with "Mad'" Anthony Wayne; if the frontiers men who, under lewls and Clark, wended their way through these western swamps; If the dragoons who fought at Santa Cruz, could pass this reviewing stand; If we might see the buff of the colonial coat shining out ngalnst the blue of the Jack tur's suit; II" we might see the connskin headRcar of Morgan's men offsetting the . soldier caps of the men of '4S; If the boys of 'Hi. returning In their ragged army blue, could statid over against the soldiers of '!s In their khaki uniforms, while over them all the Stars and Stripes floated In splendid glory; if that line might pass and repass, svery head here would be uncovered with reverence, and every heart would swell tS THE BEST WHISKEY.

They have not died in vain, and the bullet-scarred breast and the saber seared cheek denotes a mark of honor we do well to reverence. Today I want to sneak a word of eulogy of our splendid state a state that fur nished one-ninth of all the troops of the union army a state that sent one-tenth of Its entire population to the front; a state that was loth to enter the fray, but having once entered, fought with a llerce liess that was Invincible; a state that sent both black and white troops to the front a state that at Shiloh and Vlcksburg wrote Its name In heroism and valor. I want to speak a word for some of the honored dead whose homes were In our midst, of Colonel W. H. Kinsman. Twenty third Iowa, who dl"d behind Vlcksburg", ...i i .. - .... - v., . 1 1 ... Vti 1 1 i , . i were. "Come, brave boys," and then falling under a second wound, be said, "tome on, I die happy 1 fell at the head of my regi ment discharging my duty bury me on the Held of battle." I want to speak of Colonel D. B, Dailey, who single-handed and alone, tried to cap ture a whole regiment, and because he could not surround them, ran away with their color standard. I want to speak of Edward Ilarl. a brother to our Hon. Charles Harl, who died at Helena and as he fell he cried, "Bovs, I am shot tell my mother that I loved her arid that I died fighting for my country." I want to speak of George Falrman and of Lawrence C Bmlth. brother to our Spencer Smith, who died at Mllllken'a Bend and was burled on the field of battle. I want particularly to speak a word of eulogy today of certain men and things that occurred in that war. To such men as Oeneral Orenvllle M. Dodge, who not only spanned this great west with ribbons of steel, but also circled It with the power of his personality a man who not only raised the troops and secured for them their arms, but also personally led them to the front. From these very hills of Coun cil Bluffs the gallant Fourth Iowa regi ment went forth led by this man whose body bears the scars of that awful con flict, this man, the hero of the battle of Pea Khlge, who In that battle had three horses shot under him, and he himself stopped three enemies' bullets; this man whose men and he fought so well that seven regiments of the enemy and eight pieces of artillery could not make them budge; this man whose military strategy and daring at this time opened the south west to the union forces and by that ter rific three days' struggle relieved one of the most complicated conditions of the early years of the civil war. Our hero and neighbor was this man the man who saved the day at Atlanta, the terrific ZiA day, when Pat Claybourne'M brigade almost an nihilated our army; the man who, when he enlisted, wrote his mother: "I go Into this war on principle, financially It will ruin mo. I put my trust In Ood. If I come out ull safe I hope no one will have cause to regret my course." The man who bought ii.ou) stands of arms for Iowa when It was too poor to buy a musket ball our hero neighbor. General Orenvllle M. Dodge. I would that I might tell you of all the rest and call them all by name, but God knows them all and in yonder book, whoso leaves record the Justice of a merciful God, their names are written In letters of glory. Tribute to I'nknotvn. In his eulogy on "Tlie I'nknown Dead" Rev. O. O. Smith told of how the national government maintains eighty-three ceme teries in which are burled 34U.2K; soldiers, 194,492 known and 151,710 unknown. Vlcks burg has lij.TBl graves, of which 12,762 form the eternal resting places of unknown sol diers. There are but two of the cemeteries in which there are no "unknown" graves. America, said Mr. Smith, was the first nation to pay equal honor to the man who shouldered the musket and the man who larrled the sword of an officer. He paid a glowing tribute to the bravery and hero ism of the private soldier who entered the army with the certain knowledge that the chances were that he would till an un known grave. Rov. Marcus McClure of the First Pres byterian church delivered the Invocation and Rev. J. P. Ileede of the Danish Lu theran church the benediction. Colonel Ed win J. Abbott presided in the absence of Hon. E. L. Shugart. The musical numbers were contributed by Mrs. Marine and Miss Wtnters, while the McFadden fife and drum corps brought the exercises to a close with "taps." In the morning the members of Abe Lin coln poet. Grand Army of the Republic, and the Woman's Relief corps decorated the graves in Falrvlew cemetery, while the members of Encampment No. 8, Union Vet eran Legion, and the Woman's Auxiliary decorated those In Walnut Hill and St. Joseph cemeteries. DKTKCTIVE COMES FOR HARDING Mays There leXo Doubt He la the Man Wanted In Washington. Detective Sergeant G. E.' Burling&me ar rived last evening from Washington, D. C, after II. C. Davis, alias Frank J. Harding, arrested at the Grand hotel Tuesday. De , tectlve Durlingame has with him -the war rant for Harding's arrest and a copy of the ! indictment which was returned against him I in Washington is expected to reach here i this morning. Davis, alias Harding, will be ! taken bufore United Statea Commissioner ' Crawford, who will, If he finds that he Is the man wanted there, order him taken to Washington. The prisoner may be taken back to Washington by a deputy marshal, or the United Statea marshal may deputise Detective llurllngume to do so. Durlingame called at the city Jail soon after his arrival and saw the man under arrest. He declared there was not the slightest doubt but he was the man wanted not only In Washington, but In about thirty other cities throughout the country. iDavls, as he persists in asserting Is his right name, declined to discuss matters with the officer from Washington beyond stating his willingness to be taken there at once. When asked by Detective Rurllngame how long he had railed himself Davis, the prisoner replied: "Ever since my mother named me, and that Is a long time ago." Harding was Indicted In Washington for cheating by false pretenses. It Is alleged he Induced J. G. II off. representative of a wholesale grocery house In New York, to endorse a check he drew on a bank In Louisville, Ky., and Identify him at one of the Washington banks, where he secured the money. F. J. Harding, alias II. H. Harding, alias J. H. Hart, and now alias H. C. Davis, Is I one of the most dangerous check workers In the country. He Is wanted probably I In thirty citlea for working this graft, and j Major Richmond la to be congratulated on capturing such a dangerous criminal.

He was sentenced to a years Imprisonment in Texas, but In some man ner succeeded in making his escape. "If I am detaTTed to take him back to Wash ington. I shall take no chances with him. He appears too anxious to go," said De tective Rurllngame. Harding, Mr. Rurllngame said, has two sisters In Seattle, Wash., where Harding was at one time engaged In the real estate business. He was at one time engaged In the railroad bridge contracting business In the south. He Is believed to be a native of North Carolina. But for the arrest Tuesday afternoon of Davis, alia Harding, F. A. Ross, a prom inent Insurance man of Des Moines, would In all probability have fallen a victim to his wiles. Davis ingratiated himself with Mr. Ross and the latter believed him to be what he represented himself to be. They were together a great deal for a few days before Davis" arrest, and Davis had in timated that it might be necessary for hlni J to ask Ross to endorse a checK tor for him. So satisfied was Mr. Ross that the man wae all right that he probably would have done so. Then, with the money thus obtained and the proceeds of the check which he evidently Intended to get Chief Clerk Park of the hotel to cash. Davis, alias Harding, would have skipped for somewhere else and enjoyed a Ufa of ease as long as his wealth lasted and until tt became necessary for him to turn another trfek.

SHAFT TO UNKNOWN DEAD Status Erected hr Women ii Unveiled at rj L'oiuti ' enorial Day. TRAIN REDUCTION CAUSES STIR IN IOWA Assertion la Made City Hall Machine In Des Moines Is Manipulating; Klectlon Machinery for Special Klectlon. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DBS MOINES. May 3(l.(8eclat.l--Never before In the history of Des Moines was Mcmnilal day so well observed ni today. A new law In Iowa forbids sll day sports and games, which Imd a tendency to cut out much of the amusement feature of the day. and especially In Des Moines the preparations were more . elaborate than usual for the proper observance of the day. A feature of the day was the unveiling of a monument "To the Unknown Dead." which was erected by a local circle of the Ladles of the Grand Army of the Republic. The unveiling was by Mrs. Aurelta Sher mnn, the address by Rev. C. S. Madbury and twenty grandchildren of soldiers dec orated the monument with flowers. The usual services at the cemeteries were con ducted by the two Grand Army of the Re public posts In the forenoon, and In the afternoon they strewed flowers from the river bridge In memory of the sailor dead. In the afternoon there was also a public service at the Central Presbyterian rhurch, where the memorial address was delivered by E. R. Hutchlns. At two colored churches siecinl services wero held In the after noon. Train Rednetlon Annoys. The news that the railroads crossing Iowa are planning to take off trains and reduce the service materially Is causing a good deal of comment In the state. Other roads will reduce the service soon. It Is stated frankly that this Is because of the passage of laws compelling reduction In fares In this and other states and that the changes are with a view to enabling the roads to make a profit. If there Is such material reduction of the service as to seriously In terfere with business an effort will be made to force the companies to maintain better service, and it is believed that un der the Iowa law. this can be done. May Get Nctt Financial Agent. Tt Is learned that the trustees of the State college have been considering the advisability of securing a new financial agent for the college or they may decide pon abolishing the office. W. A. Hel sell has been the financial agent about seventeen years He places the loans for the college of the permanent endowment funds. He Is given a salary of a year and Is allowed S0f) a year for an as sistant. As soon as loans are made the papers go to the state treasurer, who col lects the Interest and afterwards closes up the deal. Now it Is asserted that by the addition of a clerk In the office of the state treasurer all this work can he done there Just as well, since he, In fact. Is re sponsible for the entire fund and keeps all the books, and the salary of the finan cial agent can be saved. It Is said that the trustees have considered the names of ex-State Treasurer Gllbertson of Forest City and of C. A. Carpenter of Columbus In connection with the place If It Is not abolished. There Is no complaint against the present agent, but the feeling Is that he has held it long enough. Former lowan Dend. News has been received by friends here of the death a few days ago at Caldwell, Idaho of Captain George H. Nichols, for merly and for many years a resident of Iowa. He was for eight' years deputy superintendent of public Instruction under Superintendent Akers, now of Chicago, and he had been engaged In school work, and later In newspaper work In the state many years. He was a few years ago a resi dent of Oklahoma, where he was a candi date for department commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, but later moved to Idaho. Ron- Over Election Judaea. Courts will be asked to decide who shall be Judges of election at the special election to vote on the commission plan-of govern ment for the city. It ia asserted that the election boards have been packed by the city clerk In the Interest of the present city regime, and that a great many ex cellent election Judges have been sum marily removed and their places filled by heelers of the city hall gang. An Injunc tion suit Is to be brought to prevent this change and the courts may tie the whole matter up for the present. May Change Sanitarium District. The Iowa Adventlst association, .holding a camp meeting here, is considering a change which will place Iowa In a new district with regard to support of the large sanitarium here. In this same dis trict there Is a sanitarium at Lincoln, Neb., and the Interests of the two conflict. Now It Is proposed that the Iowa sanitarium be placed In a district which will Include Minnesota and the Dakotas, so that the SHORT TALKS BY L. T. COOPER ALL WOUX OUT This la the time of year for the "all worn oat" feeling. You hear It every where. "I'm all worn out. Did ou ever stop o think what t means?

Take a tablespoonful of Cooper's New Discovery three times a day for two weeks and the "all worn out" feeling will certainly leave. Mr. Burger was "all worn out" once. "For some weeks I suffered from an affection of the stomach that seemed to wear me out completely. My system was run down, my bowels constipated. I had dull headaches and although I was r.ot sick enough to go to bed I did not have ambition to stir around. I read of Cooper's New Discovery and began using It.
