Memorial Day Proclamation

Death is the arch gleaner in the fields of time. Each day is harvest day and each soul is ripened grain. Windrow after windrow, he mows down the human race. He spares not young man nor maiden, nor him who stoops with age. Each going down lehves a void unfilled in some human breast; but the patriot’s death sobers and fills with sorrow the nation’s heart. If the blood of martyrs is the seed of the church, then the life and death of the soldier who offered his life as a willing sacrifice for the preservation of the Union, must remain the most fruitful germ in the formation of American character. It is well for a people to live in the present and to plan for the future bpt it is ill for a people to forget the past. Thus far, in our history, we have not ceased to remember the toil, devotion and sacrifice of the living and; the dead who, from ’6l to ’65, counted all else naught if thereby they might preserve the union of the states. Year by year, with the beauty of the lily and the fragrance of the rose, we seek .to voice above their graves the gratitude of the American to the hero of that- age. Only a feW' now stand near the portals of that door which never outward swings. This year as they bedew with tears

DESTRUCTIVE MIDNIGHT FIRE IN UNION TOWNSHIP.

John Jones, On the D. H. Yeoman Farm, Burned. Out at Early Hour With Loss of $3,000. _____ The old D. H. Yeoman farm residence in Union township, about 8 miles north of Rensselaer, and occupied by John Jones and family, was destroyed by fire at an early hour this Thursday morning. The house, outbuildings, windmill, and most of the household goods were destroyed. The fire is believed to have caught from a chick brooder in the milk house. It was discovered at about 12:30 o’clock and at that time the house was on fire and nothing could be done to put out the flames. By diligent work Mr. and Mrs. Jones saved the piano, sewing machine and a few bedclothes. They had no insurance and their loss was total. Mr. Yeoman carried SI,OOO insurance on the house. Mr. Jones estimates his loss at all of SI,OOO and the buildings were probably worth $2,000 W. N. Jones, who has been making his home with his son, but who has been in town for the past week, was also a loser, having had all his clothing except what he brought to town with him, consumed.

Commercial Club in Rooms Over Roth Bros. Butcher Shop.

The Rensselaer Commercial Club held a good meeting Wednesday evening in the rooms over Roth Bros.’ butcher shop, which 'are being furnished for permanent quarters for the club. There was a fait turnout and all seemed greatly interested in the of the club and the future welfare of Rensselaer. A proposition that can not be discussed at this time was discussed and may result in the location of a thriving little factory here. The by-laws were changed in two particulars, one being that the directors of the club must be lot owners. The other provided for the possible contingency that the club might possibly go out of business some time, and should this ever result it will be impossible for a few people to lay title to the undivided and unsold property held by the club. The new section that in the event of the club ever becoming inactive and its dissolution become necessary, the property will go share and share alike to the lot purchasers. Another meeting will be held the second Wednesday night of June. Jacob Maloney, a farmer of /Oliver, 111, who is dying of consumption, has put a force of men to work building a concrete vault for his burial place, declaring that before he dies he wants to inspect the work. He insists that he be taken to the cemetery, three miles away, to pass on the job.

Former Republican Editor Sends Aid For the Soldiers’ Monument.

A letter was received from George E. Marshall this morning enclosing a $lO check for the Milroy Soldiers’ monument fund. The letter read: “I am enclosing check for $5 as a contribution from myself and the same from my wife towards the soldiers’ monument and Milroy statue. Uam very glad this long projected monument is at last to be realized, and that the fine and fierce old fighter, and Jasper county’s most distinguished citizen is to receive this deserved recognition in his old home town and I am also glad to know that Mary Washburn, the most promising artist Jasper county ever produced, is to have .a sample of her work in so conspicuous and honored a position in her old home. If the statue could only have shown the “Old Gray Eagle” mounted on the back of “Old Jasper” it would have left nothing to be desired, but that would have been too large and costly a project to hope to have carried through, as nothing less than life size figures would have been suitable. ( “None of my own nor my wife’s many soldier relatives enlisted from Jasper county, but our small contribution will help pay the expense Of putting a few names of others on the monument, who are dead and have no relatives left to pay it for them. “I notice in the papers what terrible and unseasonable weather the Middle West has been having the past few weeks, and the great destruction they have occasioned to fruits and gardens, and planted crops. Out hero we have had a very favorable and very pleasant spring, and have every prospect of a bumper fruit crop.” Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Fisher, of Mexico. Mo., also sent $1 for the monument fund, wishing us success. Add to Marshall article. John Paris, of New York City, also sent $lO for thd monument fund; Misses Edith and Mary Miller, of Chicago, sent $2; John D. Timmons, of Otterbein, who was a member of Co A, of the 87th regiment, sent sl, and Harrison Wasson, the bus man, gave sl.
