Fox is the commandant.. Promptly at 3 o'clock the exercises were opened in the court house, which was filled with an interested audience. There were flowers, evergreens and immortelles in profusion, each lady and child bearing some beautiful token as a tribute to the worth and self-sacrificing devotion of the sleeping heroes. Rev. J. G Grai^heb, pastor of tbe Lutheran church, led in fervent and eloquent invocation to the God of war and of peace for his blessings. Col. George Bell Timmerman introduced the orator of the day in a short but impassionateaddre83 which breathed the spirit of the boys of the early sixties. Rev. Mr. I'Anson, pastor of a Baptist church in ^Columbia, who was the cuest of the Sons of Vet. *" ~ o eraop, took for his subject the life and character of Thomas Jonathan Jackson, the great Confederate Chieftian. His remarks were clothed with pathos and eloquence as be recounted the traits of character that made Jackson great and won the love and confidence of . the men under him. It was a masterly effort and was listened to with the closest attention. Congressman Lever being present was called upon for an address but after briefly paying a glowing tribute to the patriotism and devotion of the women of the Confederacy, he excused himself on account of suffering with throat trouble. A pleasing feature of ihe occasion was the 9iDging of patriotic si s by a choir of TouDg ladies and gentlemen. The rending of "Tenting on the old camp grounds"' and "Good Bye Comrades," by Miss Louie, Ridgell with Miss Mary Eva Glover accompanying on the organ. These young ladies are two of Bites burg'a fairst flowers from its bouquet of lovely young womanhood and are accomplished and cultured young ladies After the exercises at the court house were brought to close, the Ime of march was formed in front of the Krttsoo and hoartpd hv the Sjne VrCUI V UUUCV, auu uvvv. ? ~ J of Veterans the precession moved toward St. Stephen's cemetery, and the work of love and revre^ee was commenced and continued until the resting place of each sleeping patriot was strewn with flowere. 2To Gloss Carriage Paint Hade will wtar as long as Devon's.

Reports from Tokio and other sources indicate that the doom of Port Arthur is now sealed. With Dalny and the railroad between Port Arthur and Nun Chawang in the hands oi the Japanese, no relief can reach Port Arthur from the land side. The fleet under Admiral Togo watches the approach from the sea, and even if the Russians had another fleet at their disposal they would lied it rather difficult if Dot impossible to relieve Port Arthur. St. Petersburg. Maj 9 ?War news is getting rather scarce aod confusing here, although it is generally believed in official circles that the news of the capture of the Dalnv by I he J*paoeee is true. No official confirmation can be obtained at this time. Cneefoo, May 9 ?Passengers who have just arrived here from Nieu Chwnng confirm the reports that the Russians have begun the evacuation of *bat place. The Seoul, Korea, correspondent of the Reuter Telegraph Company wires th*t a Russian force of unknown strength has crossed theYalu I river and entered Korea. The report ! i9 unconfirmed London, May 9 ?Y ur correspond ent is informed from an influential source that Russia will not press her charge against Japan for what she terms the breecti oi international law bv the Japanese on their first attack on Cnemulpo and Port Arthur. There is (rood reason for this. Baron Havashi informed Lord Landsdown, Bntish foreign minister, that the Japanese previous to attacks on Cnemulpo and Port Arthur had interrupted the cables between Port Arthur and Vladivostok, showing that Russians were prepared for the attack on Port Arthur by the fleet on February 13, without a preliminary declaration of war. Cables have also disclosed the fact that the din ner had been arranged for the officers engaged in the proposed attack. Accordingly, when the Russian Ambassador at London called on Lord Landsdown to protest against the Japanese attacks, Landsdown advised him not to press the objections, as he had information that Russia intended to attack in a similar manner, but had been forestaled by the Japanese. A report is current that the Russian cruiser Rurik of the Vladivostok Bquadron has been destroyed, whether by accident or Japanese attack report does not state. It is reported the Russian general staff has retreated to Mukden and the army is rapidly following.

Household Pest,, In connection with the desired absence of the dreaded bsd-bug a writer in the June Delineator gives the sound if somewhat Irish advice that "special preparations must be made before his arrival." Bads are to be taken apart and washed at intervals with carbolic water, and "Dalmatian powder" freely inserted in the crannies. Frequently opening beds and bedclothes to the air and sunlight, and all cleanliness, are also enjoined and the writer assures the housekeeper that "unless one lives in 1 I an apartment hou?e and has unde1 sirable neighbors" all will be well with her and her beds, as "b'd-bugs c-?nnot thrive where cleanliness exists " VERY ONE WH( ?
