The department commander calls attention to general order No. 7, from National headquarters, accompanying this order, in reference to Memorial day, Wednesday, May 30, 18SS.

For twenty years this day has been observed by the loyal people of this country, in a spirit of reverence and gratitude for the brave men who laid down their lives in the Nation's cause. It is a day of hallowed memories; a day when a grateful people pay floral tribute to the Nation's honored dead and testify their devotion to the principles for which they died. It should be observed in a loving and reverent spirit in which all should unite, keeping in mind the fact that by God's mercy and the blood of our brothers, we are today enloying the blessing of a re-united country. To this end your commander recommends that each Post attend divine service in a body on the Sunday preceding Memorial day, as a fitting preparation for the solemn duties of that day. That on Memorial day the comrades assemble at their respective Post rooms and march in procession to the cemeteries, and where practicable, that the exercises there be conducted in accordance with the form prescribed in the service book.

The department extends a cordial invitation to 9ll fraternal and military organizations and Sabbath schools, as well as to all loyal men and women of Kansas, to join us in sacred observance of that day. By command of O. II. Coulter, J. W.

A large crowd congregated on the street this afternoon to witness the exhibition of a new Rotary AVasher, a machine which promises to do away with much hard labor.

It imitates almost exactly the action of human hands upon a washboard and is tho only machine in the market that does so. This insures cleanliness without injury to the clothes.

We hope somebody will take hold of it and give Abilene an industry that will furnish regular and lucrative employment to several men.
