TOLD OF THEIR GLORY ACAIN Living “omrades Recall Onos Miore the Deeds of the Eoldier Dead, MEMORIAL DAY OBSERVANCE IN OMAHA Decoration of Graves in the Morning—Ex- ercises at Hauoscom Park-Street Parade by Military Companies— Other Features. It is the custom of the Grand Army of the Republic on the day preceding Memorial day to place on the graves of all the soldier dead tiny flags, to designate them for decoration, and yesterday morning several hundred of these pretty plants lent new beauty to the cemeteries of the city, even before the ar rival of the wagons, whose profusion of bloom and fragrance was soon to cover the mounds thus marked from sight A% in prev'ous years a list of the dead had been caretully prepared and the graves diligently sought out, and If the resting place of a single hero was passed by it was only by melancholy accident The rain of Tuesday night gave a freshness to the sunny air of the morning and washed those acres where the veterans sleep to a clean and livid green as a priming for their floral investment. At an early hour the committee from the Woman's Relief corps, escorted by a detall from the several Grand Army posts, re- paired to the cemeteries and performed the work of decoration with an abundance of flowers contributed by the schools of the city and collected the day before. In Forest Lawn, after the decorating of the graves of the favored dead, a national salute was fired from the little eminence where the four cannon stand as silent guards of the soldlers’ plot. In the other cemeteries thefe were no exercises, the program being simply to distribute the flowers and return to the city. THE PARK. park seen a larger turned out yester in the annual THOUSANDS AT Seldom Hanscom crowd than the one that day afternoon to participate memorial services in honor of a nation's dead. While the green sward showed un- mistakable signs of suffering from the pro- tracted drouth, the park offered an Inviting welcome to the thousands who sought fts shade and refreshing breezes as a rellef from the oppressive rays of a summer sun and the dust and turmoil of the streets, and Ithough it was an utter impossibility for any considerable part of the number fo get close enough to the stand to hear the ad- dress of the day, or any of the oratorical part of the program, there was nothing to bar thelr enjoyment of the music. It was estimated that fully 11,000 people disported themselves on the gently sloping hillsides and took advantage tos the fullest extent of the outing that tho sacred holiday afforded them. The program differed little from. that of former years, and there was little said that has not been often sald before, yet the un- usually large turnout and the attention which was accorded bespoke most plainly the warm sentiment of the mass of the peo- ple and the growing interest in Memorial day. There seemed to be a deeper appre- clation of the herioc deeds of those who yielded up their lives on liberty's altar in the hour of the nation's trial, and the lesson of patriotlsm and unselfish devotion to the flag found lodgment in hearts more re- sponsive than ever before. The children were Imbued to an unusual degree with the patriotic spirit the day imspired, but the sentiment was by no means confined to them, as those whose memories could run back to the times when the scenes of the civil war were enacted seemed to recall the dark days with a vividness not experienced for years, and drew from the recollection renewed inspiration for better citizenship and thankfulness that the republic still lives undivided and Intact. The plan followed in former years, of hav- jug the veterans participate in the march from the business center to the park, was done away with on account of the increa:ing years of the members of the Grand Army and the arduousness of the march, and the more satisfactory one of having them meet the line at the entrance to the park was adopted. The line moved shortly before 2 o'clock from the corner of Fifteenth and Douglas, headed by the Seventh Ward band of twenty-six pieces. Next marched the Thurs- ton Rifles, proudly bearing the new flag presented them last Monday evening, and behind them the Omaha Guards, in dress uniforms with white duck trousers and white helmets. Carriages following the military companies contained disabled memibers of the various posts. In one carriage, furnished by Comrade Willlam Walace, were General John Dennis, who Is 50 much of a sufferer from heart dis- ease that he cannot walk; Captain Gardner, who is crippled in the legs, and Comrade Kettler, the patriarch of U. S. Grant post, who 18 80 years of age and a veteran of more than sixty years standing. He was & soldier in the Prussian army in 1832, par- ticipated In the Texas revolution and is a veteran of the Mexlcan and civil wars. The line was followed by scores of private carriages, which drew back at the corner of Park and Woolworth avenues to allow the Grand Army posts and Woman's Rellet corps to join the column. The police had with difficulty kept an avenue clear from the entrance to the park to the band stand, which was also the speakers’ rostrum, and thither Dr. W. H. Christie, acting officer of the day, directed the column. The Thurston Rifles executed a few evolutions in the somewhat cramped quarters in front of the stand, and a detall was sent to guard the spot whercon had been erected the mound and monument around which the ritual service of the Grand Army was to be conducted. EXERCISES AT THE STAND. The band played Beyer's ‘“Recollections of War” as the opening number of the pro- gram, followed by a fervent prayer by Rev. Frank W. Foster for continued peace, better citizenship, closer compliance with divine in- junction and final rest in a country where Warfare 18 unknown. | After the singing of the memorial hymn by the Glee club, under the direction of Prof. Lee G. Kratz, who, by the way, com- posed the music, the orator of the day, Cap- taln C. B. Adams of Superior, senlor vice commander of the Nebraska department of the Grand Army of the Republic, was intro- duced. The address was somewhat lengthy, but was full of Interest and patriotic senti- ment, The application of the lesson of the occasion was varied with reminiscent his- torlal sketches of events on the Mississippl, in the Wilderness, before Richmond, at Lookout Mountain, and of the march to the wea, The utterances of the speaker were frequently applauded, and all who were able o got within hearing of his voice remained there until the completion of the old story told anew. Following another selection by the band, the Glee club sang “The Vacant Chair” in a highly acceptable manner. The posts then reformed their lines and proceeded with the band to the burlal plot, where the ritual service was conducted under direction of J A. Glllesple, officer of the gaurd. The im- pressive rites were witnessed by thousands Who occupled points of vantage on the hill- sides to the west and southward. The plac- ing of flowers on the mound was done by a number of children, both boys and girls. The galute was fired by the entire company of OmahaGuards, instead of by a platoon of elght, as heretofore, and the deafening vol- Jeys rang far out over the city, The Glee club sang “Tenting on the Old Camp Ground,” after which the vast con- course swelled the famillar strains of #America,” and Rev. D. K. Tindall pro- nounced the benediction. At the conclusion of the memorial services the band gave a concert, rendering the fol- rogram excellently: Jirek Bhekoration .

POLICE INSPECTION, Results In Words of Pral Commissi The annual inspection of the police force was held yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock at police headquarters, Eighty men were in line, all dressed in summer uniforms. Police Commissfoners Coburn, Hartman and Strickler inspected the jail and the men and found both men and jail in excellent condition. During the quarters dec from the Police ners. at head and cor- forenoon the men rated the Jail offices ridors with flags and bunting. The court room was not neglected, for back of the Judge's desk was a bunch of big American flags, surrounded by a wreath of smaller flags. When the line was formed the men face east on Fifteenth street, and their line stretched from Jones to Jackson streets There were ecight platoons, commanded by Captain Mostyn, Sergeant Sigwart, Sergeant Whalen, Sergeant Ormsby, Sergenat Shoop and Officers Tyrell, Flynn and Poole. Both' patrol wagons were out and looked bright and cle The commissioners, accompanied by the chief, walked up and down the line of men and inspected their clothing and arms and the general makeup of the force. After the inspection the policemen were marched around town for a few blocks and then the parade was dismissed. The commissioners expressed themselves being well pleased with the discipline ring of the men, and complimented cavey on their fine appearance, as and be Chief § Prospect Wl Tmproved Prospect Hill, a silent city which is the home of 10,000 tenements of clay has the ap- pearance of being better kept this season than ever before and in addition to the grounds having been mowed and watered, Superintendent D. C. Callahan, acting under instructions of the management, has marked more than 2,000 of the unknown graves, those over which no headstones give the names of the persons lying beneath. The people who visit this place daily are loud in denouncing the action of the street rail- way company in not supplying some means of transportation for reaching the place. In speaking of the matter Superintendent Cal- lahan sald that he had made a careful esti- mate and felt safe in saying that during the summer months at least 1,500 persons vis- ited the cemetery daily. The nearest streot car line is a mile away, which compels the greater portion of the visitors to walk, as they are not able to hire carriages He said that there was scarcely a day that some poor widow or orphan did not become pros- trated by climbing the long hill between the cemetery and the car line, as they made the long journey to pay tribute to their beloved dead. Lost In the Shafe, The celebration of Memorial- day was not without the usual number of lost children, most of whom were picked up by the police before night.~In the afternoon a party of residents in the neighborhood of Seventh and Pacific streets came up town to view the parade and were so interested that they forgct the little ones, who followed the band and the bright uniforms out of sight. The missing children are Willlam Rasmussen, 8 years old, Clara Rasmussen, 7 years, Louise Rasmussen, 12, Harry Jonsen, 5, and two Hirsch children of 5 and 7 years respectively. The names and descriptions of the lost children were left at the police station, and the patrol- men were instructed to look out for them.

It has been decided by the management to start that big sale of clothing Thursday, May 31. Remember that bankrupt manu- tacturers forced to the wall on account of the stringency of the times had to make enormous sacrifices. When you get clothing down to 60c on the dollar of manufacturers’ cost you ought to be getting them cheap enough. We only quote a few of our prices. Strong men's pants, extra well made, and very neat desirable pattern, only 89c. Men's full suits for $1.75. The cloth by the plece Is worth more than double. Men's wool cheviot pants, 7ie. You will positively pronounce this the biggest snap you ever saw. All wool blue suits, $4.75. Light welght spring vercoats $2.00. Finer goods In proportion still cheaper. This is a chance of a life time. Now a word of caution: All our competitors, if they would be candid, would have to acknowledge that during this sale we can sell for less than they can buy, but that would drive the trade away from their respective stores, so they'll have to try (?) and compete with us, and they will probably try all kinds of tricks. Some of them we understand, will go 5o far as to make sales similar. Don't be misled. The only genuine bankrupt manufacturers' sale positively opens Thursday, May 31, at 845 a. m. at 115 South Sixteenth street, near Douglas, opposite where they are now rebuilding the Boston Store.

It has been urged that the manufacturing in- dustries were so deeply rooted in the east that it would be impossible to move them westward, and that any efforts put forth in that direction would be time and energy thrown away. Figures based on the last census are now at hand to prove that Nebraska has made rapid strides in the development of her man- ufacturing interests during the past, Divid- ing up the states of the union into groups, it is found that from 1880 to 1890 the great- est increase In manufacturing took place in the northwestern states. The increase in the capital employed in manufacturing in these states was 21 per cent, while the increase in the product was 161 per cent During the same period the New England states gained only 887 per cent In capital and 64 per cent in product, the middle At- lantic states 117.3 and 64.2 per cent and the central northern states 175.5 and 93.5 per cent. These three groups of states have in the past produced the great bulk of all the manufactured goods turned out in the United States, but the above figures would seem to indicate that the northwestern states must soom come into prominence as a manufactur- ing district, if the ratio of Increase shown by the last census is maintained. The following will show the Increase in both capital and product as shown by the census of 1890 over 1580 in the different sec- tions of the country Increase of capital. product, 887 p. ot 540 b, ot “ 85 Lo 1480 ¢ 86.9 States 146.7 107.6 i 139.0 Increase of States Stat W England fiddle Atlantic Central Northern South Atlantic Stnte ulf & Mis# Vall outhwestern Northwestern States. .. Lo Pacific States........coeviniee 4% 1255 The states included under the head of northwestern are Nebraska, Towa, Minne- sota, Wyoming, Montana and North and South Dakota. While these states as a whole have shown the greatest increase of any section of the country, Nebraska has led all the northwestern states. None of the older states have made anything like the increase In percentage of gain that Ne- braska has. While Nebraska has made such rapid strides in the past ten years, she still, as a_matter of fact, ranks low in the list of manufacturing states. These figures do not tend to show that this state has already become a great manufacturing state, but only the possibilities of the future. They will serve, however, to refute the statement made, even by some business men, that Ne- braska cannot hope for any great growth along the line of manufacturing. The following, showing the amount of cap- ital invested in manufacturing and the value of the product for 1890, will give an oppor- tunity “for comparisons between the states: Groups of States, Capltal.

These states are Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Kansas, Texas and California. ~ When the comparison is extended to the product of the factories, Texas drops behind Nebraska. It must, furthermore, be taken into consid- eration that Nebraska has a much - less population than any of the above states. An eastern writer obsérves that the progress of the northwest and the south- west may be accepted as ovidence that those two. resourceful sections have indus- trial ambitions which are likely to make them conspicugus in our future manufac- turlug development. With their rich sup- plies of minerals and other raw materials, and with rapldly augmenting populations, it is not surprising that these sections should have increased thelr gombined manufa tures from $404,000,000 in 1880 to $1,000,- 300,000 in 1890, These statistics unquestionably indicate that, complete as is the present ascendancy of the east over the west in industrial en- terprise, yet a powerful drift has set in which means a steadily increasing inde- pendence of the central and far western sections upon those more maturely devel- oped states which have hitherto been the home of our manufactures. daleollllo IR Young Republica: A speclal meeting of the Young Men's Republican clutwwill be held in the rooms in the Patterson . block, Seventeenth and Farnam streetsy mext Saturday evening.

WANT TO FIND DENT. a3c Omaha and Cedar Rapl Parties Have Claims Against Him. Several people are looking for Rudd Dent, a young man who has frequently visited Omaha during the past several months, and the Dellone hotel people hope to find him in time to collect $25.10, which he owes them for board and borrowed money. A number of people in Cedar Rapids, fa., would also like to learn Mr. Dent's present postoftice address. Dent is a very pleasant young man, who has a ready way of making friends. He is the son of a wealthy English gentleman and says he is a brother of State Senator Dent of Lemars, Ia. His last place of busi- ness was at Marion and Cedar Rapids, Ia. It is alleged that his unpaid bills at Cedar Raplds amount to almost $1,000. Mr. Dent was in Omaha last week and vis- ited his friends as though there was nothing wrong, but he was very anxious to keep his name out of the papers. While here he asked an officer to assist him in regain- ing a $150 diamond' ring which he alleged was taken from him one night when he was drunk by a saloon keeper. - He told the officer that the saloon keeper had refused to give him back: his property and he wanted to regain it without any trouble if he could, but he was going to recover it, as it had been a present to him from his wife. Dur- ing Dent’s presence in. the city the saloon Keeper was ‘conspicuous by his absence. Dent was last seen on Wednesday evening, but a policeman heard yesterday that he wa still in town and was on & prolonged spree.

It had been the purpose to get a vote this week, but the demand for time to speak has been 80 great that the debate Is expected to run through the next ten days. The number of speeches scheduled Is almost as great as that in the tarift discussion. The state bank leaders have reached the conclusion since the debate began that they will com- mand about 140 votes for one of the various plans of repeal, but that it will carry in an average attendance, These 140 votes represent a rapid growth of state banks' strength since the last con- gress, when the bill of Representative Richardson of Tennessee for the uncondi- tional repeal of this tax secured only eighty- four votes, with 118 against and 127 not vot- ing. This vote of two years ago is now being recalled, as it puts on record many members of the present house. It shows that of the present members fifty-eight are committed for repeal and that fifty-six are against it, Those on record for repeal are: Messrs Abbott, Anderson, Alexander, Bailey, Bank- head, Bland, Boatner, Branch, Bunn, Cami- nettl, Capehart, Caruth, Catchings, Clarke of Alabama, Cobb of Alabama, Cox, Craw- ford, Culbertson, de Armond, Edmunds, English of New Jersey, Enloe, Fithian, Geary, Goodnight, Grady, Harter, Hen' derson of North Carolina, Jones, Kilgore, Kribbs, Kyle, Lane, Layton, Lester, Livingston, Mallory, McCreary, McMillin, McRae, Meredith, Meyer, Montgomery, Moses, Oates, Patterson, Price, Richardson of Tennesse, Robertson of Louisiana, Sayers, Snodgrass, Stone of Kentucky, Terry, Tracey, Warner, Williams of Illinois, Wilson of West Virginia, Wise, Those of the present house on record against repeal of the bank tax are: Messrs, Arnold, Bretz, Brookshire, Brown, Cobb of Missouri, Cooper of Indiana, Covert, Cum- mings, Davis, Dingley, Dockery, Durborow, Gorman, Grout, Hare, Hatch, Hayes, Hen: derson of Illinols, Henderson of Towa, Her- mann, Holman, Hopkins of Iilinois, Hopkins of Pennsylvania, Johnson of Ohio, Kem, Lapham, Lockwood, Loud, Lynch, Martin, McAleer, McGann, McKeighan, O'Neil of Massachusetts, O'Neil of Missouri, Payne, Paynter, ~Pearson, Post, Ray, ~Rayner, Reilly, Reyburn, Robinson of Pennsylyania, Shell, Simpson, ‘Smith, C.
