If any person residing In Bellevue
failed to attend the flag raising Sat

lleiy, they missed an oppoitunlty to
exhibit their patriotism, their home

The affair throughout was purely lo
cal, everyone participating, with tho
exception of Professor Howell, being
o resident. Tho flag and pole were
purchased by subscriptions by Belle-
uo employes. A recitation, "Destruc
tion of the Maine," nnd a song, "On to
Cuba," are both original productions,
Mrs. G. W. Powell, a resident of Belle
vue, being the authoress.
A complete description of the pole'fl
position and surroundings were given
In Saturday's Tribune. The platform
was gaily decorated with the national
colois. There wcie nearly 3,500 per
sons present Tho music was provided
by Stenncr's band. Tho exerclsm be

after which the chairman made a short

Mr. Hale Is just finishing hlo forty

The total tonnage for 44 pears Is 5,444,
103, or 3,63S,070 cars. Few serious acci
dents have happened here and only 12,
since Mr. Hale became foreman In 1S69.
In 1S74, the present breaker was be
gun and in 1S76 was put Into opeiatlon.
Consldeiable Improvements have been
made. Fourteen distinctive languages
are spoken among the employes. There
has never been a uttlke and only once
did tho company fall to pay monthly
nnd that wns during 1S57. A four

Superintendent B. C. Green, upon
whom fell the burden of arranging tho
aftalr gae a shoit history of the flag
Mr. Gieen 13 a good speaker and to'd
some cnteitalnlng facts in connection
with the glorious emblem. City Super
intendent of Schools Georg Hovvei.fr
was orato.' of the day. Usually bril
liant and always more than common
place, the speaker outdid any previous
effort. His remarks were frequently
interrupted with applause.
He spoke of patriotism, its cause and
the results of its stirring influence. He
said that the tiuest patriotism Is found
always existent, nnd the tiue patriot
wns not waiting for a test, but was up
and doing. That flag wns an element
In the lnspring of patriotism. For
what reason, bcholais nor wise men
could neither perceive nor define. It
is a growing flag, representing pro
giesslvo thought, brotheily love and
Christian charity.
That flag now floated o'er a solid
north and south. Sectional hatred and
animosity of the past are now dead
and bulled without hope of resurrec
tion. Its flaunting folds thrill a nation
and tho results of this country's acts
are due to education, preparation, and
self-confidence. As It wns sald of tho
Franco-German war that the Get man
schoolmaster whipped tho French sol
dier, so It was now that tho country
over which that flag floated was by Its
twentieth century education was de
stroying the dense Ignorance of Spain's
sixteenth centuiy condition.
Her expulsion of the Moors, a crime,
Is being visited upon her now and
fifty j ears hence the names of naval
heroes are recorded by history will
dip her pen In the sunlight and wilte
that of Dewey far above the others.
To him belongs a victor's crown. Our
patriotism Is and should be of the pur
est kind and ever present under oil
sorts of conditions. I attribute our
ptetsont success Hist to the efficiency
of Dcmociatlc institutions In this
counto, nnd second, to the positive
results of a good liberal education.
Recitations were given by Misses Ef.
fie Browning and Louisa Stumm, Mlfls
Myra Davles and Mrs. W. Powell sang
solos. Several selections wcie given by
a children's chorus. The flag wns un
fulled by Miss Laura Green, daughtcx
of Superintendent Gieen.
At tho close of tho exercises a game
of ball was pluyed by two teams, the
one representing tho outside and the
other the inside workers of the col
lleiy. The outnldeis won handily
Many amusing inrdents developed dur
ing the game. The batteries were: In
side, Warner and Hogan; Outside,
Duffy and Gallagher.

as follows:
See the bojs In blue once more,

They have bid udlcu to home and friends
bo dear.
We have -ecn them fall In line,
With "Old Gloiy" In the lead,
And they go to face tho battle without

CHOKES.
Soldiers march along to Cuba,
Do not falter on the way.
Go ye forth with main nnd might,
God will sure protect the right
And the "Stars and Stripes" will surely
win the day.
Cuba's freedom they will gain,
And tho Spaniards they'll destroy.
They can never suffer tvrnnny to reign.
The Insurgents, they will sing
Glory! Glo ! We are free.
We will never, never, bow again to
Spain.

And Schley did the mighty deed Uncle

When he sank beneath the waves, Cer-
