T»e8»lity, May 30, which promltetl »o fairly late Monday night, was ushered in by rain, necessarily checking th* at­ tendance and frustrating plans of the committee which had the services in charge. However, the morning traiut from tlie north and east brought in an unexpected large number of people from the surrounding towns, including the Boys'* Band, of Le3rand, and the Bethel Band, of Liscomb. The bad roads and threatening weather of the morning did not prevent a large at- tendance from the country, and by noon the streets were fairly crowded. About tills time, also, the clouds broke mid a few minutes of sunshine sufficed to dry the ground. The ceremonle* com- men?ed in the public square promptly at 1:30 p. in., each organization taking its appointed place surrounding the stand. The proceedings opened with music by the German Singing Class of this city, with band accompaniment. After a prayer by Rev. A. R. l»ay, the President of the Day, Wm. H. Weath- erly. introduced Dr. S. F. Bennett, of Richmond, III., the author of the words of that beautiful eong, "Sweet Bye and Bye." Mr. Bennett then read tlie fol­ lowing original poem composed for the occasion: From where the rock-t>ound coasts of Maine Beat back the billows' pride. To where the Western sunset's (lame Is quenched in ocean's tide, In everv borne, by every hearth, We Wen one sacred"«lay, When May Itends prayerful skies to earth, Ere vanishing away. Ring, silver bells of memory, ring In tiiue to martial tread 1 To-day our offerings wo bring In honor of our dead-- Our i>atriot dead who round ua sleep In manv a grassy grave, The urns that sacred treasures keep, The bivouac of the brave! Ring out, O bolls, from steeple high! Bnt not all sad and slow, As when with tear, and moan, and sigh, , Wo lay our loved below! Rinx proudly, for tlie proudest heads Ot all our native clime, Though pillowed here In narrow beds, Should claim a peal sublime! Ring proudly, for the proudest deed* That poet rvcrsung Or nation gave its proudest meeda Our patriot dead have done! |<*alWi Their faithful breasts, O priceless shields!-- Our glorious land to save? And vet they live. The hand that writ Heaven's story in the stars. And tun^d the notes of birds to lit Sweet nature's niusio liars, Has built tor them a mansion, hleit, With priceless love for ay®. All gracious with the lioon of rest, And fair with endless day! And yet they live! In dreams we hear Tne music of thoir speech, And deem that thev are <1 rawing near, So outstretched hands may reach Almost lgn'ond the mystic veil. When on the slumlteruns air The cchoota glad "All Hail!" Comes wafted from afhr. Unfurl the flag neath which they stood On eamp. op battle Held, To stem the tide of troason's flood. To die, but not. to yield! How many eyes that now urc closed Have waiehed it in the llgrht! How manv dying heads reposed Upon Its bars of light! Come, maidens, with yonr hearts of (now! Come, tender miitronhood! Come, youthful swains with hearts that glow! Come, manhood's noble blood! Come, tottering age w ith silver hair! Come, prattling infancy! To honor those, the gift vou bear. Who died for liberty! Brincr all yonr blooms of white to attow Above"each lowly bed! More flitinff tribute'is their snow Than all the tears we shed! < Bring lilies with their hearts of gold! Bring rose, steeped in red! Bring all the flowers of May! Behold, They wither like our dead! A* upward from thla sacred sod Their perfumes sweet arise Like incense from an altar (jod Has blessed in sacrifice, So from our hearts the earnest prayer Is wafted to His gates: "Uod k3ep our heroes waiting there. And each that herejawaits." Not here alone their forms re pot e. d fe ON THE WEST SIDE. Tripp Bros.

Sutton, the orator of tlie day, then Silvered the following ora­ tion : rf- COMRADES AND FELLOW CITIZENS:-- This is the day when the nation tend­ ers itRofterlngs of l<>ve to Its dead. If wreaths its roses into garlands to-day. »nd lays theni\£n the graves of Its dear- est. and best; |i|)Oii the graves where Tie buried ouivcoinrades, our brothers a*.d our csnsJlvlio died as heroes die. Brave men, W8n they, and their glorj shall live freedom has a veto* with which ttfliBfclrlhelr noble name* Of all thf^iRfllllBMf «v«r resreU •« •'ti.yI earth, the grandest and the noblest is the monument of Bunker Hill. It was freedom's first grand offering to free dom's dead. It was built upon the vefv spot where freemen first fell in behalf of freedom's dause. It was built on the everlasting granite rocks, and Its gray old granite walls shall stand eternal tis the worlds, and In defiance both of time *iul of tyranny. The same love our fathers expressed In stately monument we express to-day II words, in songs and in flowers. The emery ef tlie union dead Is yet too ^reen to he emhlemized in silent stone. Their last good-bye is lianllr Inst upon our ears. It seems but yestermorn when we were marching with llinin.side by side; and but yester eve when we laid them to rest, and to-day no bring* up the scenes of that yesterday that still we hear their joyous snouts, atul seetn to clasp again their loving hands. O, what a di am a was our civil war! Our country was a land of h*ines. P»aee was her boa*t and glory. Her children were taught the arts of peace and not the arts of war. How soon, however, the whole scene rlianged. When men saw their liberties assa'.led they as­ serted the strength of their manhood. Anns grown strong in peaceful toll were bured in defense of human rights. Strong, brave and determined civilian* surrounded tlie Hag of their country to maintain it while they lived, or to die If it innst fail. What'a sight that vres to see a great people laying aside the enjoyments of peace, and preparing themselves for war and death. No art­ ist can ever portray the courage and patriotism of those years. All loves, save the love of God, were made second to love of country. Fathers and moth- era gave up their sous to become a sac­ rifice if the sacrifice had to tie made. Noble women, with inatcUffess fortitude, gave up their husbands, and took the care of home and children upon them­ selves. Lovers postponed the promised day until after the victory and if need be, forever. And who can ever paint in picture the scenes of the camp and of the field? The long and tedious drills, where freem< n were military slaves! The picket in his lonely watch at night. The haversack and old canteen. The beans, the bacon, ar.d coftee black as tar. And the stories that were told, and songs that were sung, to wear away the long and burdened hour! Or who can paint the scenes of battle? Not the charge, but of the field when tlie charge Is done, and victory lost, or won. The wounded, the dying and the deiwk Or who can paint the home tlie soldier left behind? Scenes in which the mail is watched with anxiou* fear, and the dally new* Is scanned for every word from the dreaded field. Scenes in which little children are seen at prayer, pray­ ing that papa may not be killed but aoon come home. Scenes lu which broken-hearted mot lie's are calling their little ones about them, to tell them thrt their father will not come home, that he is dead. Such scenes as Itmm are only painted upon tlie human that binds us to the union «tea«l with a tie that time can never break. Sr is the memory of these scenes that brings these mothers here to day with their children still about theni; children who have grown into noble manhood and lovely womanhood, in tlie golden herit­ age of martyred sires. It is the blessed memory of the Union dead that brings many here to-day who once were slaves. The*« dead heroes broke the chains of the bondsman, and sealed his freedom with their blood. The sweet memory of these scenes bring those little chil­ dren here. They brought litis lovely wreath of flowers. Tlie card upon it reads as follows: "Made by tlie little children of the Kindergarten school for tlie soldiers who died to save our conn* try." God bless their little souls, and God ble«s tlie noble teacher who in* spires in their hearts love of country ami gratitii'le tor its dead. Oil. what a privilege and joy It l« to recall and renew such memories. Thus do we show a Just appreciation of the blessings wo enjoy, and a proper grati­ tude to them who preserved these blessing? and bequeathed them to us. The roll will soon he called. Listen to the Immortal names of the noble de*.dU Pray God's blessing upon tlie in sod theirs forever more. Oh. may there be a land which is the "Sweet Bye and Bye" of this world, and may these dead heroes all bu there. Blessed souls, may the lessons of their deeds and sacrifices lead us on to better lives, and our country to greater glory. We will plant once more the stars ar.d stripes where now they rest, and be­ deck with flowers the green grass that grows above their graves, and leave them again with their country and their God. The roll was then called by Col. B. W. Johnson and responded by Co^. L. G, B. Holt, when the line of march was taken up to the oemetery in the follow­ ing order: Drum Corps. First Regiment Marshall County Veterans. Forty Sons of Marshal! Oonnty Veterans. Bethel Band, of Li; bomb Company "D," L N. G.,„commanded by Cap­ tain F. L. Williams. Cosmopolitan Lodge, Knights of PythiaS, la tall uniform, commanded by Grand Chancellor K. II. Hibben. The LeGrand Boys' Band. St. Aldermar Commandery, Knights Templar, commanded by Col. B. A. Beesoo. Marshalltewn Boys' Band. . CUlsens on foot and in carriages. Upon reselling the cemetery the vet­ erans divided, detailing four members to eacli grave. The Knights Templars took special charge of tlie graves of two of their fellow comrades, the Knights of Pythias also decorating the grave of the only member ever lost. Charley A. Stevens. Afler the exer­ cises at the cemetery the line of marvh was taken up to the square, where the different organizations were dismissed. It was a quiet day, fittingly observed. THE OLD SOLDI Kits. In tlie evening the Marshall County Veterans met at '.lie O. 1). NMIHIS, and were called to order by Col. L. E. B. Holt, for the puri>ose of considering the erection of a grand soldiers* monu­ ment In this city. Committee* were appointed from tlie different townships ot the county, and the matter will be canvassed d*y. After this * social reunion was Uvld, ai^the tl«j» ©f battle$oi* titer Th* Anti'thiatae BIIl The new Antl-Chinose bill has bo- come a law. having passed both botuM of Congress and racrlfrd^tWlipplVlf Ing signature of tlie Protldeut. It wilt- take effect on the 7tli oX AugQKt. iiieiefcy days tfrrnn ttM day . tb« President - signed it. ; This act pr eh I hits the coming of Chi­ nese laborers, skilled or utwkllled. to the United States, for ten years, and subjects to fine and imprisonment the master of any vessel who shall bring them. Chinese laborers who wwre here November 27, 1880, the date of the treaty between the United States and China, and those who shall arrive pre­ vious to the 7th of August, are free to go from and return to thla country; but every one is required before leaving to register, and obtain from tho collector of the port a certificate of Identifica­ tion which will entitle liiiu to re-enter the United States. Every Chinaman who Is m|| a laborer -- that is, Chinese traveler*; students, etc. -- coming to this coiiudy. Is re­ quired to preseiit a passport or cejN^ 11 float e of IdentifiofllJipn obtained from the Chinese government.' 1W, sion Is made to prevent Chinese* may land at any port outside of United States from crossiuir the ial lor bonier. Any Mongolian who" oeeds In getting into the country con­ trary to the law may be removed by direction of the President, after having ; been proved before a Justice, Judge «r J United States Commissiouor. to be | here unlawfully. Tho law make* no | provision for (lie admission of Chineso | laborers who may want to pass through J this to another country. The uatural- J Isation of Chinese by any State or Fed- J eral court^s forbidden. fl Except that immigration Is prohib- | ited for ten years only, Instead twenty, this act differs very little from ' the one originally passed by Congress | and vetoed by the President. What has tlins been gained by the reto hi o# » importance. It is better to experiment | for ten years with this new and ques^i^ tionable policy of exuluslon thau to bind the country to it for. twenty. That small section of the country on ^ the Pacific coast, through whose clam­ ors against tlie Mongolians Congress lias been led to this step in legislation, appears satisfied with the new law,and ' but little adverse criticism appears In j the public journals. • Those who were | are doubtless Inclined to a ably what they cannot prevent orS! change, glad that its most objection- able feature is greatly tuodifiad, and await the result of the experiment, -| though by no meaus convinced, as yet, | of the wisdom of the movement. , v.j tVHKAT KUXMINU Of* 1' ' A Correspondent of the Prairie Fi»* mertays: "Having noticed a» artldo recently entitled The Decline of tho Wheat Crop, the writer seems to be laboring under the impression tliat tho soil is worn out, and has lost the lugr** dieuts necessary to its production. From an experimental test I differ with him. Tlie test was as follows: In the year of 1876 1 sowed ten acres to wheat. It proved a very poorstasott for wheat and insects seemed to w«rk at the roots so that the ten acres only averaged six bushels per aero of an inferior quality. That autuiuu tho same piece was plowed without auy manure or fertiliser of any kiuil; tho next spring 1 sowed tha sttne piece to wheat and harvested a splendid crop yielding twenty-five bushels of good sound No. 3. wheat per aero.
