T,333'sv!?' rcoI'10 to-liiy as when
JffrsT the old liberty boll pro
Jwj -- i duccil liberty "through
out tlio land." Tlio Fourth Is and basal wayj
been something moro than a holiday. The
celebrations, tho Hags, tlio fireworks and even
tho firecrackers aro eloquent of Iho real
meaning of tho Day of Independence. Tho
foreigner who arrived, perhaps, but a few
days age hangs out an American Hag from his
garret window. Ho cannot Bpcak a word of
tho American language, perhaps, but tho Hag
speaks for him. It tells that ho 13 grateful
for American protection, that ho appreciates
American freedom, that ho wishes to show
that he, too, rejoices In tho greatness of tho
great republic. Tho hoy with firecrackers
may seem an annoyance; but thoso firo
crackors echo tho patriotism that is swelling
in his youthful breast, they tell that ho also
Is proud of his country and will do tho best
he can somo day In Its bobalf on a larger
fiold.
For Americans, and especially thoso whoso
ancestors endured privation, danger and
death that independence might bo won, tho
Fourth of July Is, indeed, a day rich in
memories and crowded with heroic associa
Hons. Tho nation is great and prosperous
It is tho cool and calm truth and not merely
a boast that tho United Stales of America is
the greatest nation on tho faco of tho giobo.
Amid all this evidence of tho greatness
aud prosperity of tho nation It is well to bo
reminded by tho Fourth of July of tho
struggles and tho suflcrings, tho heroism and
the sacrifice that mado this greatness possible.
Tho celebration in town yesterday was ouo of
such as will tend to forever keep green in
American momory tho bravo mon of tho field
and of statesmanship who wrung from obsti
nate, and poworful ilritaln tho acknowledge,
mcut that theso were sovereign aud inde
pendent states.
Tho peoplo of Shenandoah aro noted for
thoir patriotic sentiment, aud tho display
yesterday fully sustains that reputation.
Tho day opened with a cloir sky, and old
Sol's rays showu with undaunted brilliancy,
The members of tho Patriotic Order Sons of
America, who inaugurated and carried to a
successful termination tho movement to honor
, tho natal anniversary in a befitting minncr
may feel proud of their work. Their efforts
wore crownea witu such nrilllaut success
from tho fact tint tlio movement appealed to
tho patriotio impulses of tho citizins, and all
joined in tho movement in honoring tho 117th
anniversary of American homo rule.
Tho colcbration of tho day was inaugurated
at midnight on tho evening of tho third by
ho tolliug of bolls, followed by a jublleo
concert by tho Grant Hand and display of
fireworks. The entire programme as ar
ranged by tho committee was carried out,
Tho ascension of balloons, tho firing of
thirteen salutes, aud tho display of Japanese
fire works showod excellent judgment by
tho commitlco.
The appcaranco of tho Polish societies In
lino was ono of tho special features, and their
marching was very favorably commented
upon and oliclted frequent applause from tho
crowds along tho lino. Their every move
mcut showed tho soldiery bearing, and their
behavior, not only In lino but during the
entire day, was an excellent examplo to be
followed by other classes of our citizens.
They also displayed their patriotic sentiment
in the number of Polish bnsineu houses and
private residences decorated with the national
colors. Ilutchcr Tabor's business was rep
resented by a butcher shop on wheols, being
a leading featuro ot the trades display.
Eleven floats wore In Hue. Tho P. O, of
T. A. were roprosonted by two floats, that of
Camp 40 representing Mollie Pitcher taking
charge of her husband's gun after his death.
On each side of tho cannon were two Con
tinental soldiers, aud at their feet was the
wounded Pitcher. The Jr. O. U. A. It. was
represented by a float containing four Amer
ican Mechanics plying their respective trades,
and Jennings Guards wero followed by their
goat team bearing sultablo uottos.
When tho lino of parade was on Main
street, an accident occurred that might have
proven moro disastrous but for tho timely
action of a number of bystanders. Tho float
of Pocahontas Degree, I. O. It, JI., represent
ing I'ocahoutas.pleadlng for tho lifo of John
Smith, in bouio manner moved forward In tho
wagou and frightened the horses attached to
It. Tho driver lost control of them and they
dashed upon tho sidewalk, throwing iroiu
the wagon a small boy. Fortunately he
escaped Injury. John E. Davies, of South
Jardin street, also met w th a slight injury to
his leg. The excitement caused by the acci
dent was intense, and a large crowd toon
congregated. Tho Columbia's teim, while on
Jardin street, near Centre, also mado a break
for liberty, and wero not brought under
control until they reached Oak street. With

theso two exceptions everything passed oft"
ploasantly and without accident.
Tho float of tho Washington llcncnVI.il
Society represented Washington crossing the
Delaware, with thirteen young ladles In a
boat representing tho thirteen original states.
Tho mombcrs or Tribe No. 155, I. O. It. M ,
wero array oil vin Indian costumes, aud wero
quite an attraction, especially to tho younger
clement. Tlio military tactics of Jennings
Guards and tho marching of tho Pioneer
corps of IIopo Section, J. T. of II. aud I, aro
both worthy of special mention.
Tho appsaranco of tho Darktowu Firo
Brigado was tho cause for much amusement
along tho line, until they reached tho sccuo
of tho supposed fire, Schooner's saloon, whore
they mounted tho building and subdued tho
raging flames. Their amusing tactics kept
tho crowd in an uproir.

Included tho threo local Camps of tho P. O.
S. of A., Camp 125, of Glrardvillo, aud

Cornet Band. The display of fireworks,
under tho immediate direction of R. II.
Morgan, was tho most elaborate tho town has
ever witnessed. The sky was brilliantly
illuminated, and along the entire route of
parado there was a continuous discharge
torn bursting bombs, flashing of rockets and
peals of Roman oauous, forming ascene never

Washington, Lincoln, Garfield and Harrison

Fowlor why ho did not display Cleveland's
likeness and ho answered, "I telegraphed to
Washington for a photograph, but received a

Snldterr,' Monument.
Editor Herald: Many months ago your
paper inaugurated the movement to orect a
Eoldlcrs' monument to tho memory of our
dead heroes Each organization contributing
was asked to appoint a representative to the
joint committee Tho organization of which
I am a member complied with tho request,
and I also gavo my mito as an individual.
What I am curious to know, Mr. Editor, is
tho commit eo slill in existence, or has it
abandoned tho project? By kindly furnish
ing the abovo information, you will obligo
A Contbimtor.
In reply to our correspondent's query, so
far as wo know tho committee is still In ex
istence, but for somo reason a meeting has not
been held for several months. Tho commit
tee, wo supposo, have good reasons for their
failure in this respect, aud would undoubt
edly mako them known to persons seek
iug tho information. However, we believe
now is a good tluio to start tho ball rolling
again. With tho prospectj of bettor times
for tho miners very bright, aud tho oxcltc
racnt attending tho celebration of tho Fourth
now over, tho monumout comuiitioo could
very wisely rosurao their labors. It might
also bo well to lay .the foundation for tho
monument before tho square at tho corner of
Main and Centro streets is pavtd, thus saving
considerable expense For any further in
formation as to tho moNcmeuts or futuro in
tentious of tho committee we slull have to
refer our correspondent to tho officers of tho
Monument couinilttte.
Thing Worth Kemoiuberliig-.
When you feol a kind of goneness about
the stomach It Is a sigu that your food does
not sit well and that you aro about to have a
fit of indigestion.
Whon you begin to feel nervous and are
unablo to sit still comfortably; when your
clothes suddenly seem to lose their fit and
become too tight in places tho fit of indi
gestion is surely ujou you.
When this fit of Indigestion is repeated
from day to day It finally resolves itself into
dyspepsia.
Remember that three to ten of Brandreth's
Pills will cure the worst oaso of Indigestion
or dyspepsia, or both, and that a legular
course of them, say two every night for a
week or ten days, will act as a preventative
of cither complaint.

It was a great day for Sctloy, as shown by
tho score. Tho Richmonds onl mado a sacri

Tho features of tho day wore Houry's

Messitt, who played hero with tho West
Ends, caught for Setley and gavo excellent
satisfaction. Ho has been signed for the

In tho afternoon gamo C. H. Lewis, of the
