ment of Notre Dame University began
to-day. Many high dignitaries Of the

especially for the OCCASION. Tne cele-
brant was Archbishop Elder of Cincin-
natl, in whose province the diocese lies.
The sermon was by Archbishop Ire
land Of st. Paul. He sketched the history
of the Institution, and coming to the mat
ter OF church and State he said he thought
he had no quarrel with the latter. He
was proud of State institutions of learn
ing, as Of also many other things that
were American, but the conditions under
which the American schools are con-
Quoted make it necessary for the church
to increase its efforts to bring the young
OF her schools within her fold, in science
particularly. The Archbishop advocated
more Jealous efforts in Catholic educa-

from Denver in charge of United States

PORTLAND, June u.-Louis Smithie,
confined in the County Jail awaiting the
action of the Grand Jury on charge of
stealing COW, has confessed to the MUIR
der Of George Young in August. 1892, at
Mott, small place near Dunsmuir, CAL,
on Soda Creek. Acting on information
received from Smithie, Sheriff Sears ar
rested Mrs. Reta Young, the widow of
the murdered man, in log cabin near
Beaverton. and she now occupies cell in
the County Jail. awaiting further devel-
opments. Sheriff Sears has telegraphed
the Sheriff OF Siskiyou County concern
ing the confession, and is awaiting an an
swer which may throw some additional
light upon the case other than that con-
tanned in the statement of Smithie.
The story, as told by Smithie, is that
five years ago. at Silverton, in Marion
County. he became acquainted with
George Young, who, with his wife and
four children, was residing at the same
place. and was cutting wood for living.
Smithle engaged to assist Young, and
boarded with the family and became init
mate with Mrs. Young. Young and
Smithie afterward moved to Sissons,
where it was determined by Mrs. Young
and Smithie that the husband must be-
put out of the way forever. Accordingly,
Mrs. Young made an appointment with
her husband to meet her one Sunday
evening at the soda springs on Soda
Creek. Young came, and was sitting on
the bank of the creek. when his wife came
up behind him and seized hold of him,
and Smithie plunged a knife into his
breast, killing him. He and Mrs. Young
then carried the body to large hole
washed out by the waters of the creek
and put the body into it and covered it
up with brush. The body is supposed to
have been since carried away by the SUBJ
sequent high water.
Young was missed in the neighbor-
hood, but as his body was never found,
there was no proof of foul play, and the
residents at Mott could only wonder and
guess at the cause of his disappearance,
the most reasonable solution of which
was that he was 80 thoroughly ashamed
OF the conduct of his wife that he had
abandoned her and gone to parts un-
known

ASHLAND (Or.). June 1.-THE regular
monthly hold-up of the Ager- Klamath
Falls stage occurred last night shortly
after IL o'clock. The robbery occurred
half mile from Topsy grade, and very
near where the robberies of one or two
months ago took place, and the same lone
highwayman Is supposed to have exc
cuted the job.
The stage left Ager yesterday afternoon,
and when the command to halt came
from ambush, Charles Barneburg was
driving. with two passengers. Charles
Zwisler was outside with the driver.
Zwisler was made to cut open the letter
pouches and throw them out, and the
driver was told to break open the express
box. The driver told the robber that
there was nothing in the box, and the
latter seemed satisfied when lie heard its
left in the boot.
After the coats and vests of all were
thrown out the robber ordered the driver
and passengers to take the stage lantern
and leave it inside of the coach and move
away. and when he had finished his ex-
animation they could come back ana get
their coats. They moved on fifty yards.
and the robber could be plainly seen as
he went through the registered mail and
coats. but he overlook ed some letters and
500 in cash in Zwisler's coat pocket.
After this performance the robber
called the driver and passengers back,
and they got their clothes aud what was
left OF the mail. He then bid them good
night, and they were permitted to
drive on.
The highwayman was of medium size,
and wore dark overcoat and light straw
hat. He wore NO mask, but kept out of
the light so his features could not be out
lined. He got but few dollars from the
passengers. nothing from the express
company, and it is thought very little
from the mail pouches.

CHICAGO, June 11.-Five of the officers

train. President E. V. Debs failed to re-
port in time for the train. He called on
the Marshal at noon, and was requested
to report at 4 o'clock at the Marshals s
office with the others or at the north
western station at 5 o'clock. Messrs.
Rogers, Keliher, Burns, Hogan and
Goodwin saw their chief but an instant at
noon, and they could not account for his
failure to report. Debs told the Marshal
that he had considerable business TO
transact, but he would be through in
time to take the train. Deputies Logan
and Curran boarded the train with the
five men who had reported. and Deputy
Clark returned to the Marshaps office
with Debs' commitment papers. The

II do not think he has purposely missed
the train," said the Marshal, ''yet his fall
ure to report on time is annoying. 1t
places Mr.. Debs in a bad light. paroled
him until o'clock. and he should have
been here. If he is found tonight he will
remain in my office until train time in
the morning."
Martin j. Elliott, the seventh man,
wired that he was on his way to Chicago
from Harrisburg, Pa. and would be in
some time during the night. When the
party was first sent to Jail Elliott was
two days behind time in reaching Chi
cago from the East.
Owing to Debs' failure to report, George
w. Howard secured another days respite.
Howard, who hes quarreled with his for
mer associates and established rival
organization, desired to serve his sentence
separate from the others, aud the desire
was mutual. To-day Judge Woods wired
Judge Showalter to transfer Howard
Jail at Joliet. Marshal Arnold intended
taking Howard there on the O'Clock
train Tonight. but Debs' absence caused
Howard's delay.
The commitment papers were made out
for six months in the DebS case and
three months in each OF the others, less
seventeen days served from January 7th
to January 24th III Woodstock Jail. The
commitment was made on the interstate
commerce contempt case.
The men are SO confident that Judge
Woods will recorder the Santa Fe SEN
tence to be concurrent that they give
themselves no concern on the probability
of having to serve double time.
Up to q late hour tonight Debs had not
returned. Marshal Arnold sent all avail
able detectives of his Office in a search for
the missing prisoner, but not trace OF
him was found
The Marshal does not believe that Debs
may have run away, and he is inclined to
think he will make his appearance at the
Woodstock Jail tomorrow. Debs' bonds
men are no longer liable for his return,
