last Saturday. Prayer was offered at
the base of the monument by Rev.
Mr.. Guter, of Christ Church, Alexan-
dria, Nirglnia-the church in which
Washington worshipped, and a few
remarks made by the venerable w. W.
Corcoran, first vice resident of the

Association. After Masonic ceremon-

trlct Of Columbia the monument WAS
formally delivered by Col. Casey, en-
gineer of the joint monument COM
mission, to the President of the
United States, who then pronounced
its dedication to the memory of Wash
ington. A procession, composed of
military and other organizations was
then formed. After the firing of a
salute of one hundred guns the pro-
cession moved from the monument
grounds to the Capitol, where it was
reviewed by President Arthur. In
the Hall of the House Of Representa-

The editor of local paper in
Utah has a church trouble on hand.
With the enterprise peculiar to his
class he chronicled with great par
ticulsrity some months ago an acct
dent which occurred in his burg.
An unknown woman was run over
ind killed by the cars. No one could
recognize her and the remains were
buried by the Gentiles in the unholy
plat of ground where they laid away
the dead who did not die in the bosom
Of the church. Some time later the
aforesaid editor took census Of his
family and found one of his wives
missing. Setting out on hunt for
the deficit he was consternated on
discovering that the victim of the
railroad accident was the absentee.
The saints thereupon ovsrhauled him
and he was given to understand that
the infidels portion would be allotted
him unless he took better care of his
household. Here in the worn out,
effete East, where editors have no
more than one wife at time they
never lose the lone star without
knowing it. And then, when starva-
ton overtakes u better half the be-
rsaved genius lays the crime flatfoot-
ed at the doors of his delinquent SUBJ
scribers.

armed with the united and con-
current request Of his fraternity,
asked the Prssident-elect to Danish
wine and other intoxicants from the
White House. TO this Mr.. Cleveland
responded, it is believed, in a vein of
respectful remark indicating that the
request was delicate one, but unless
he found more beverages in the W. H.

would execute itself before rooster

on the statement that canal rat had
constructed his nest on the tow path
side in shallow water. Our acquaint-
ance with the habits of amphibious

lieve any rat would be SO careless of
the health Of himself and family as to
select winter residence exposed as
this one was. Besides the fact that
the boats rub the towing side there is
want of sense in rat not knowing
that the water would be turned off,
leaving his domicile high and dry.

Kansas, at the date of the last re-

had + ,102 miles of railroad traversing
the state. Since that time no less than
six new railroad charters have been

1000 miles of railroad, including the
roads in contemplation, against $50

the Attorneys letter was received,
and now beyond the possibility of a
doubt, Thomas county school lands
will be sold at Colby, by the Treasurer
of Thomas county. The Attorney
General will probably notify the Off
