ANOTHER SUCCESS,
Fourth Annual City Band Concert to Be Added to Previous
Meitorious  Performances.
The concert given at the Doherty
opera house Friday eveqi_-g was worthy of our cifcy band and adds another to record of past successes. The
whole entertainment was most creditable to all the participants, and ea-
, peciaily so to Dr. A. E. Mulder, the
effecienb leader of the band and the
members of the band >whose work
made possible the united effort of our
band boys.
The house was well filled and the
cordial greeting made it evident that
Olareites continue to have a warm
place in their hearts for the city
band. The applause was spontaneous
from first to last and even the critics
are unanimous in saying the whole
performance was most creditable
throughout.
The following members of the band
participated:
Dr. A. E. Mulder, leader, baritone;
drum—Roy- Feighner; snare drum
—Sam Northy; bass—Fred Thompson;
tenors—John Jackson, James Tatman;
altos—Geo. Erhardt, Ward Livingston; second cornet—Clayton McPhall;
first cornets—Floyd Post, Ray Falk;
solo cornets—Wm. Lange, Fred Lev-
ingston; E flat cornet—Malcolm
Feighner; clarionets—James Roxburg,
Lee Dunwoodie. These with Frank
Louch constitue the present active
members of the band.
In addition to numbers given by
the band the pleasure of the evening
wastenhanced by several special num-v
bers. Dr. Mulder with band accompaniment rendered a fine baritone
solo. Lawrence Jackson sang "Tlie
King of the Vikings" receiving a very
hearty encore and Mrs. G. B. Wells in
two vocal solos was at her best de
lighting the audience from first to
last by the variety tf her attainment
and generously responding to the encores.
The net proceeds of the concert and
advertising leaves $72.45 for the band
treasury.
Attention Comrades.
The passing days brings us a.ain to
Memorial Day when we garland the
resting places of our heroic dead with
flowers of budding spring time and
drop above them the flag for whose
purity and glory they offered their
lives. In days agone they were our
comrades in that mighty host, whose
daring, doing and dying continued the
republic and made possible our present
glory and greatness as a nation. In
the retrospect of Memorial Day we refresh and renew the memories of tbe
past and intensify the comradeship
of the present. Let us, their comrades, gather at their graves as at an
altar, and whilst there voice a prayer
of thankfuiness that our lives have
been spared to enjoy the fruitage of
their toil and suffering. Let us not
forget those who rest beneath the
daisy-spangled sod, in graves marked
"unknown" and who made the greab-
. er sacrifice of giving not only their
lives, but their name for their country. Let us tell the rising genera-,
tions of their glorious deeds, and by
word and act do our part to continue
to the memory of the patriotic dead
the reverence of the ever increasing
millions living in security and peace
in the land saved by the matchless
devotion of the Union soldiers. Let
our tribute of love, affection and comradeship be characterized by a sincerity and faithfulness that shall render
the tribute sacred, and keep Memorial Day devoted to the lofty purpose
for which it was designed. Let us
never hesitate while life and strength
is given us to make this day a solemn
day remembering but a few years
will pass before some friend will have
to perform the duty that now is ours,
of strewing the flowers upon the
graves of the soldier dead, as we now
do that duty then they will be called
upon to so decorate our graves.
Let us show to a -careless people
that though we suffered fof our country's sake, that suffering was for
them as well, and the lives given in
honor of a great nation has a meaning for ail as well as for us as veterans.

City Council Again Refuses <to
Confiritn Two of Mayor's
Appointees.
At the regular council meeting Monday Mayor Benner again nominated
A. J, Lacy for .city attorney, and A.
R. Canfield for chief of the flre department and fire warden and the

The vote was a repetition of the last
one taken, standing four to two again-,
st confirming the former and three to
three in the case of the latter,
Under existing law Mr. Canfield
holds over as chief of the fire department but inasmuch as while mayor of
the city, Mr. Lacy'could not legally be
city attorney, though- he performed
the duty of the office and drew the
salary therefor, there bas been no
city attorney for the last four yea/s
and hence there is no. city attorney at
the presenfc:,bl_ae.
