It was "Pioner Day," and (be people all turned out to pay their respects re-spects to th pioneers of SpriDgvllle of the days of '47. They are ours, and we are rich in possessing them. Rich in the wealth of the folk lore, of their Joyn and sorrows and triumphs; how then she and he, hand in hand, then started together in one path to the time not far ahead when they will come to the valley through which flows that mysterious river of Death. Altogether Al-together too soon will they enter its swift current, too soon will they be carried from their feet. They are 'good to look upon, because their faces areeven now reflecting in their evening even-ing of life the unrisen sun of another world. Gratefully do we listen to them, thankfully do we applaud, and lovingly do we clasp their hands and lift thciu up till they say, "here am 1." The celebration was under the auspices aus-pices of the Latter-day Saints Sunday school, and the carefully carrying out of all the details, reflects the highest degree of ability as residing in those having charge of the celebration. The line of marh was along State street south from' the meeting house to the store of Boyer & Briughurst thence it countermarched back to the starting point. The formation was as follow; At the head was Myron Crandall bedecked in the regalia re-galia of an Indian chief. He was mounted on a dashing "war pony," and on either side rode a sure-enough Indian. Next came a float cunveying Miss Beckie Allen representing Utah In '47. She was apparelled as an Indian princess. She wasn't, though, but. Just a "just pretend."' She looked like the chromos of Pocahoutas and the reporter readily understood how it was that Rolfe became captivated. Following the float came several Indian warriors mounted and four wagon loads of natives from the Uintah reservation, especially secured se-cured foi the occasion. Then two carriages of old sellers of '47 then rolled by and they were followed by 6ix wagon loads of emigrants, illustrating illus-trating the modes of early conveyance convey-ance across tbQjpntirie, all of which took months to accomplish, judging from the primitive wagons and carts in the celebration on Monday. The hand carts had to stop while a migrating mi-grating old lady got down from her wagon and reset" her lire with a cobble stone. She hit the wheel three times in succession without once hitting hit-ting her hand, conclusive proof that after all she must, have been a man in disguise. The hand carters trudged alon; wearily, and right thankfully the people uow looked on these animated pictures of a past never to return to America. Then rode by twenty four young ladies ami a like numbers of young gentic-njpti. gentic-njpti. They made a very pretty picture, pic-ture, and a Vcr.- refreshing contrast for the carts. Then came a float, Utah in '98, consisting of cereal and root crops. Kvery Spanish soldier would have surrendered uncondit ion- From Extreme Nervousness.

Dr. Miles' Sytttm of Restorative Remedies consist of seven distinctively different preparations, each for its own purpose. Mrs. L. C. Bramley, 37 Henry St., St. Catherines, Cath-erines, Ontario, writes: "For years I suffered suf-fered from extreme nervousness and annoying annoy-ing constipation, developing into palpitation and weakness of the heart. I was unable to sleep, suffered much from beadacho, pain in my left side, palpitation and a constant feeling of weakness and prostration. I began using Dr. Miles' Nervine, Heart Cure and Nerve and Liver Pills and the Anti-Pain Pills to relieve sudden paroxysms of pain and headache.

Then came the fine display of modern farfli machinery, and it helped to prove the triumph of yankee inge nuity in labor-saving contrivances The last float was labelled, "IHuh of the Fourth Ward." It was rounding over with chubby faced boys and girls, and it must have baen a glad sight to the pioneers to see them. Thev would nobly tell you that the youth now coming forward are worthy of the trials and tribulations of those early days. The Sundays schools on foot then trudged by, not one bit discouraged dis-couraged by the pillar of dust and clouds of flies. They sang as they marched, and theirs were the words the one above delights to hear. It was a hymn that must have been as a benediction to all that the parade-represented. parade-represented. The pony express buys were in evidence hurrying up and down the line delivering mail as mail was carried years since from Omaha to the coast. Following the parade came the exercises in the meeting house. The large room was tilled with a people gladly present, to please and be pleased, and all were abundantly satisfied. F. C.

SISTKIt JANS KICKS' SI'EECU. ':. (Ve have met today, dear friends, to commemorate the had event, the, sinking of the good ship "Maine," an event destined to bring bloodshed, heartache's and the fall of a great and wicked nation. An event that brought grey hairs to the heads of fond parents, tears to the bright eyes of sisters, anger and passion to the hearts of brothers whose emotions were stirred so that in order to avenge the death of their brothers and the insult to their country, they would lay down their lives. An event that insulted the manhood of every American citizen and brought to their cheeks the flush of indignation and stirred wlt'iin them a feeling to subdue the wicked nation that had heaped tortures and cruelties upon their sisters and brothers in a neighboring isle, The sinking of the "Maine" was not the beginning of the strife. The Yunkee nation had watched with weeping eyes and hearts swelling with sympathy for the unhappy victims, and burning with indignation j toward to-ward the cruel tormentors, the many inhuman indignities heaped upon the Cubans by the Spanish ; for a 1 mg time. They longed" lo stretch filrVu" a helping hand and bring them forth iuto the lap of freedom. The sinking sink-ing of the "Maine" was the crisis, the turning point on which the fate of Cuban independence rested. Should it not then be a day long to lie re-luenibered? re-luenibered? A day set apart as is Decoration day to pay tribute to the memory of the brave men who gave up their lives with the "Maine." Is it not a day to be remembered in years to come when peace again shall have been restored in our beautiful country and the cause of freedom has ieen advanced and liberty's flag seen waving over the island of Cuba, while men and women and children will enjoy the fruits of liberty? More can be said in these few lines of poetry. f What was the thunder crash that boomed across the harbor wide? What was the foundation glare that lit Havana's evening tide? Tho birth of war, the life of hate, the leap from freedom to arms. The death of man, the death of ship, knelled in the heart of storms. The tossing waves and washing sands, will stow the dead away. The vanquished ship will lililo her hulk beneath the ocean's play Columbia has heard the groans from sua and wreckage, pile And spread's the vengeance of her flag from Spain to Spanish isle. When calmer pens of later days, shall chronicle this age There shall appear a double fate upon the doleful pace And men who read with grieving hearts the murder of the "Maine" Will read In that a wilder deed the suicide of Spain.
