CONFEDERATE DEAD.
Unveiling of a Grand Monument at
Jackson, Mississippi, to the Con
federates Who Died in Battle.
Owing to trouble in the Pendleton office the
Associated Press couid only furnish a
short report for this issue. '
Jackson, Miss., June 3. Five year's
labor and elfort on the part of the women
of Mississippi culminated today in the
unveiling of a monnmeiit to the Confed
erate dead of - MissiasinoU. Ex-confed-4,m
erates, their wives, sons and daughters
were here from all parts of the south,
and several eastern and western states
were also represented.
. The total number of visitors was esti
mated at about 20,000. Early this
morning a reception was tendered to the
confederate veterans at the capitol build
ing. At 10:30 o'clock the procession began
to move. Ten companies of the Missis
sippi National guard came first. Behind
them and drawn by ten white horses
came a float carrying fifteen young ladies
representing the southern confederacy
and different states which composed it ;
next to the float came the officers of the
ladies' monument association organiza
tion, under which the monument had
been erected. Then came distinguished
visitors from abroad and then confeder
ate veterans in carriages, organized body
of confederare veterans and sons of con
federate veterans.
The procession which was two miles
in length was greeted with cheers by
the' crowd, which lined the streets
through which it passed.
The stars and stripes were carried at
the head of every division and floated
from the capitol, and side by side, with
them, were carried the torn and tattered
confederate battle flags.

San Francisco, June 3. The Boards
of Trade of Tacoma and Seattle and a
large number of shipping men have sign
ed ah invitation to J. D. Spreckles & Bros.
to send two tow boats up to the Sound,
guaranteeing them all the business they
can handle at fair rates. .
The reason is said to be that towing
prices on the Sound have gone up to un
reasonable figures. It is stated that the
firm is considering the proposition, but
is not likely to accept on account of their
boats being rushed at every high tide.

Gfrl'f Narrow Escape Frmn
ltrntal Treatment.
Pittsburg, June 1. Mollie Uanlon, a
pretty Pittsburg girl, will have a dread of
ferries for the rest of her natural life.
She attended a Decoration day picnic
yesterday at McKee's Rocks and missed
the 10 o'clock train for home. Two
men volui.teered to row her across the
Ohio to enable her to catch a Fort Wavne
train. In the middle of the river they
decided to take the girl to Brunet's
island instead, a lonely isolated place.
Mollic wept, and pleaded and offered all
her money and valuables to the whilom
ferrymen. They refused to land her,
and the frightened girl leaped into the
river. The ruffians dragged her back,
but she again threw herself into the
water and made a desperate, effort to
doown herself. Again they dragged her
into the boat and were proceeding to
the island, when they were intercepted
by a ferryman who heard Mollie's
screams and took the unconscious girl
from the men, who were later arrested
and are now in jail.
A' MILITARY niNPLAY.
Bncb Will be a Feature of the Itlg Pa
rade at the' World's Fair Dedica
tion Ceremonies.
Chicago, June 1. At a meeting of the
world's fair ceremonies committee today,
it was stated Colorado, California, North
Dakota, Minnesota, Kansas, Wisconsin.
Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania will
send to the dedication- ceremonies in
September, 1892, the pick of the states'
troops. The committee decided to make
the military display t decided feature of
the big parade. E. T. Lee's scheme lor
a reunion of the soldiers of the north
and south was discussed, and it was de
cided to make no special feature of such
a reunion. Soldiers wearing either the
blue or the gray will be welcomed and
well treated.
' ''The'lJnidn"t'acilic'RrFioatln'g Debt.. .
New YqKif.,.jkine 1. Russell Sage in
an interview today, said :
"The report that the Union Pacific
has a floating debt of 20,000,000 is a .lie
unqualified and unmitigated. The com
pany has less than $10,000,000 and that
was piled up under the old administra
tion. Affairs are now different, and
without being especially sanguine, I say
there is no danger of the company being
forced into the hands of a receiver.
There is every reason that a corporation
which can earn S20,000,000 a year will
rise superior to the present alleged trib
ulations. There is neither excuse nor
apology for the report which is put out
to scrre the people into selling the stock.
Located in Seattle.
St. Louis, June 1. Page McPherson,
the St. Louis broker, who represented
McCormick & Co.. of Chicago, in St.
Louis, has been located in Seattle. A
St. Louis man ran against him two days
ago and . promptly notified his family
here. A warrant has been issued against
McPherson by the St. Louis Mining Ex
change, of which he was treasurer, but
it is probable that prosecution will not
be pushed. McCormick & Co. remember
him to the amount of. $15,000, and St.
Louis men are minns another $15,000.
It is further reported that McPherson
contemplates leaving Seattle for Aus
tralia if his troubles cannot be settled by
bis friends.
English Idea of -the Bait Trouble.
London, Junel. In the house of com
mons today Sir James Fugerson said in
reference to the telegram of a French
officer warning the inhabitants of Sir
George's bay not to sell bait to American
fishermen, that did not appear to be an
infraction of the treaty or 1818 with the
United States, which only secured the
United States citizens the right of fish
ing on certain parts of the coast, but it
did constitute an interference with the
rights of British subjects. The govern
ment, therefore, had brought the matter
to the notice of the French government.
An Bxpensive Pensioner.
Washington, June 1. Senator Blair
may be a personal non-grata to the gov
ernment of China as minister, but he is
a person of acceptability and good-standing
in the state department. It is prob
able, also, that he is quite well satisfied
with himself and surroundings. He is
not a United States senator, it is true,
nor yet an American minister, but he is
a private citizen of the United States,
drawing a salary of $1000 a month from
Uncle Sam while waiting for the result
of diplomatic arrangements, when it
will be decided what consulate he will be
given, if any.

Tile Dtltv of tllf. Chnvrh t. 1.m
I I do not hesitate to say that the de
velopment of the power of self help, self
respect and self dependence can be and
: should be the work of the Christian
jchnrch in all her branches. If Chris
tianity cannot, to this extent, leaven the
ma-sses of the wage workers, it has failed,
ami, at least temporarily, must continue
to fail. The wild ruin resulting from
that failure may recall the church of
Christ to a field that her faithless dis
obedience has led her for a time to aban
don. She believea in the value of man, for
in him, he he never so fallen, she sees a
spark of everlastiiigness. She professes
to accept her Master's commands as di
vine laws binding on herself. (lis word
and acts are perfectly plain: he never
contemplated the abolition of all pover
ty, but he did distinctly command that
men should, s they valued his gospel or
professed obedience to himself, draw
near to each other, forgetting and ignor
ing those things that for a short time
made them to differ.
He declared that the innermost and
eternal verities of our nature all men
have in common, and that his followers
were to make much of these, while they
were to make less of their differences of
possession and attainment. ' Weakness,
failure, poverty were to draw ns to our .
brother, not drive ns from him, for in
the prevalence of these drawing, uniting
loving forces over the sundering and
disuniting forces lay the hope of our
race he called it the coming of the
kingdom of the Son of Man. Rev. Dr
W. S. Rainsford in Forum.
Trivialities.
It is not always easy in any sphere to
discriminate between the trifling and the
momentons. It is often a matter of com
parison, and judgment and experience
are needed in the selection. Trifles are
not to lie confounded with details, which
are often most important. Neither are
things necessarily trifling because they
jtre small. , ;A kind, look, ,a .gentle warn
lng.'a cordial ; greeti.ngj j: .slight" service
are sometimes despised as- trifles; when
in truth they are signs of a generous and
kindly nature, "and carry untold blessings
to their recipients.
Many little things are far more im
portant than what we misscall great,
ones: they 111:13' indeed be the true reali
ties, while the othors may he insigniti
cant. If each one will faithfnlly examiue
the meanings and purposes of the varioh
spheres in which he moves, and endeavor
conscientiously to make them first in his
heart and life, the trifles will sink into,
their proper and subordinate place.

The American journal has placed a

The dreams, the hopes, the laughter, the
