DEDICATION OF the GRANT MAUSOlEUM.
President Mckinley. Makes an EIoquent and
Patriotic Address Upon the Nations
Dead.

NEW YORK, April H.-This day of
days in Manhattan's history of
pageants dawned clear and cool.
The wind briskly tossed flags and
bunting hung from every point of
vantage in Greater New York.
Long before sunrise the streets were
thronged. The ceremonies proper
began at sunrise when from a tall
flag pole near the tomb was flung an
immense American flag, furnished by
the Daughters of the Revolution.
There it will fly night and day. in fair
and foul weather, until the winds
have worn it away and the sun
faded it's cOlors. At the same time
the marines on the warships were
piped to their quarters and landed
to stand and receive the head of the
column. Bands were playing and
youths shouting in jOyousness Oi
spirit, for 1t was agreed that the pre-
vailing' note should be of joy over
the memory of the great man hon.
Ored, not of sorrow over the death
of the hero.
At the Fifth Avenue hotel early In
the morning the corridors were filled
with native and foreign dignitaries
Inside the rooms were the members
of the reception committee who
formed as an escort OF the guests oi
the city. Among the earliest ol
those guests was Speaker Reed, SiI
Julian Pauncefote. British ambas

CHINOOK, April 26.-The third an
nual meeting of the Northern Mon
tana Roundup association held here
today, brought together a represen-
tative lot of cattlegrowers,l live stock
commission men and railroad people.
The meeting was attended by about
200 people, and arrangements were

other business of the association.
Conrad Kohrs was elected president
for the ensuing year, John Harris,
vice president, and F. ID. Kingsbury
was reelected secretary and treas
urer.
Reports of the, retiring officers
showed the association had done
good work In the arrest and convic-
of stock thieves, and that it is in
fiOurishing financial condition. John
w. Tattan, attorney of the associa-
ton, was commended for efficient
work in connection with the prose-
cutiOn of rustlers.
The town was in gala attire and
when the special train arrived this
morning it was met by the Chinook
cornet band. Mayor Thomas o. Han
Ian kept open house and the citizens
did everything possible, to insure a
pleasant time for the visitors.
The meeting adjourned this after.
noon and was followed. tonight by a
concert.
Talks with local cattlemen indi.
cate that losses during the past win
ter and spring were not as severe al
was feared. Grass is coming up In
fine shape and the outlook is good
for fine beef cattle early in the fall.

After Q Prslsaeed Contest the Rep6siicanl
Elect wn. J. Debee.

FRANKFORT, KY, April 2s.-Gov,
Bradley has written ont the certifi-
cate of election for Hon. VIM. j.
Deboe of Critenden county as Junior
senator from Kentucky, to succeed
Hon. j. s. Blackburn, whose term ex-
prired March4. Senator Deboe will
be in his seat in the senate Monday
next.
Senator Deboe had suffered slight
strokes Of political lightning before.
The end OF the famous struggle,
which has extended over two legis-
lative sessions, will go into history
as the most memorable Kentucky
has ever known. DIR. Hunter came
here six weeks ago with a majority
in the Legislature. He had a clear
majority of three Republicans
stanchly for him and the additional
backing OF the national and state
party organizations, but circum-
stances were against him and the
lightning today struck Deboe on the
lI2th ballot.
The ballot stood: Deboe, Il;
Blackburn, 50; Martin, 13; Stone, 1.
The wild scene that followed could
not be quieted. Cheering and de-
monstrations were ended by the
president putting a motion and de-
claring the assembly adjourned sine
die.
DebOe can never be charged with
using money in his brief and victor
ious race. He and his friends are
too poor to give a banquet.
He has received hundreds of tele-
grams of congratulation this after
noon and tonight is besieged by men
asking for federal positions in Ken

bowed repeatedly. His usually grave
face was wreathed In smiles.
Vice President Hobart Joined the
president and the open barouche in
which they were seated took it's
place at the head of the line. Gen
eral Butterfield. in the uniform of a
retired general of the army, rode at
the right of the barouche, which was
preceded by a picked force Of noun
ted policemen. The military escort
included one sergeant and ten men of
A troop. The Grants left the hotel
by the Fifth avenue entrance, a few
minutes ahead of the presidents
party. Mrs. Grant leaned on the
arm of her son, Col. Fred Grant.
Altogether they occupied five car
riages. The initial step in the
parade was made almost ON schedule
time, and at $40 O'Clock the presi-
Dental procession was on the move.
The order of the procession was:
Squadron A, second; President Nc

family, sixth; ex-President Cleveland
and Richard Watson Glider, seventh;

eral C. G. Anger, Major General II. j.

eighth. Cheers greeted the distin-
guished party as it moved through
the decorated streets. President
McKinley's face was joyous and his
hat was in a state of constant sa.

special attention.

MOVING A MOUNTAIN.

Done IN n Hurry by the Use of . Hun
dred Thousand Pounds of Powder.
A great section of the mountain at
San Diego overhanging Morena dam on
one side was torn off the other day by
100000 pounds of powder, lifted several
feet straight up, and then pushed bodily
forward 40 or so feet, trembling over
the mighty gorge below the dam, and
then falling with an awful roar 125
feet, to remain hereafter for all time
as the bulwark of the great dam being
built to impound water for the city.
The dam is 43 miles east of the city.
For two months or more preparations
had been made for the monster blast, in
common with another blast that is
nearly ready. The plan was to cut tun-
nels into the side of the mountain at
various points about the bed of the
creek, and to place in the tunnels, first,
great stores of black powder, which
ignites slower than giant powder and,
therefore, has more pushing power
and less shattering effect. On the sur
face and in places through the noun
tain side were placed big deposits OF
giant powder, for the purpose of shat
tering the mass and lifting it up. Ac-
cording to plans the black powder when
it exploded would hurl the mass
straight forward, making a bridge of
granite across the gorge and blocking
the stream.
The plans were carried out with the
greatest care Danger was constantly
feared from the great mines of powder.
but all went well, and the blast was

wires, connecting with each deposit of
powder and attached to exploders, were
gathered into one circuit in a tunnel
across the gorge and above the blast,
where the foreman stationed himself to
press the button.
The signal was passed along that all
was ready. The workmen had posted
themselves at a safe distance and eager
I, watched TO see the stupendous break
in the hillside. The foreman closed the
switch, and a wonderful scene instantly
followed. The side of the opposite hill,
composed of great powders and masses
of granite in dikes. quivered, rose from
it's bed of centuries and shot out thou
sands of little squirming tongues OF
dust. that gave the whole hill peculiar
fuzzy appearance. This was for a frac-
ton of a second. A growl, like the
angry diapason of the ocean, sounded
deep down in the hill, and before the
spectators recovered their equilibrium
after the earthquake the mass was fall
ing.
An incessant rattle of rock filed the
air Like a regiment of musketry. Dust
arose in billows and hung over the
wrecked hill for an hour. The falling
of small rock continued for almost as
long. When the dust cleared away it
was found that the blast had dislodged
a mass of rock 400 feet up and down
stream, and an average of GO feet in
height, completely bridging the canyon.
The engineers estimated that the
| amount dislodged weighed 10000 tons.
| The rock was thrown exactly as the en-
| gineers had planned.-San Francisco

"With Washington and Lincoln,

"With Washington and Lincoln,
Grant has an exalted place in history
and in the affections of the people.
Today his memory is held in equal es-
TEEN by those whom he led to vic
tory and by those who accepted his
generous terms of peace. Veteran
leaders, blue and gray, here meet not
only to- hear the name of the departed
Grant, but to testify to the living
reality of the fraternal spirit which
triumphed over differences in the
past and transcribed the limitations
OF sectional lines. Its completion,
which We pray God speed, will be
the nations greatest glory. 1t is
right, then that General Grant should
have a memorial commensurate with
his greatness and that his last rest
ing place should be in the city of his
choice, to which he was SO attached
in life and which was not fOrgetful of
its loss, even in death. Fitting, too,
is it that the great soldier should
sleep beside his native river, on
whose banks he first learned the art
of war, which he became master and
leader without rival
| But let us not forget the glorious
distinction with which the metropolis
among the fair sisterhoOd of Ameri-
can cities has hOnOred his life and
memOry-which all that riches and
sculpture can do to render an edifice
worthy of the man. Upon site un-
surpassed for magnificence has this
monument been reared in perpetual
record of his illustrious deeds, in the
certainty that as time passes around
1t will assemble with gratitude,
reverence and veneratiOn, men of all
times, races and natiOnalities. New
York holds i'm it's keeping the precious
dust of the gallant soldier, but his
achievements, that he and his brave
comrades wrought for mankind are
In the keeping Of seventy millions oi
American citizens who will guard
them as a sacred heritage forever
and forever more"

IN RECEIVERS HANDS.
Northwestern Bank VIII Not Liquidate as
First Announced.

A dispatch from Washington an
nounces that Comptroller Eckels has
appointed James T. Stanford, of
Great Falls, receiver for the suspended
Northwestern National bank of that
city. This is surprise to many as
it was supposed the bank would
liquidate without the appointment
of a receiver.
1t is stated that the comptroller
took this action against the protest
of the Boston & Montana people,
and i'm a measure because of their re-
fusal to cooperate. He is entirely
satisfied with Mr.. Stanford and says
he is convinced everything will come
out right concerning the bank.
Sometime ago an agreement was
reached by which Conrad Brothers.
Capt. Couch and the Boston & Mon
tana company were jointly to furnish
enough to pay off all depositOrs In
full Immediately. The Conrad
Brothers placed the comptroller I'm
possession of the $4,000 paid them
by Cashier Hatcher for their stock
and the Conrads with Couch stood
ready to furnish two-thirds of the
money necessary. But the Boston
& Montana people failed to perform
their part of the agreement and the
appointment of a receiver became
necessary. The objection offered by
the Boston & Montana company to
carry out the agreement was that
they hold but 500 shares and that
the other stockholders would elect
Mr.. Stanford president of the bank IL
re-opened. They also protested
against Capt. Couch. The comp
troller reminded the Boston Mon
tana people that last December,
when he changed the receiver of the
Helena First National bank they had
indorsed stanford for the new re-
ceiver.

ALLEN COOK Il CO.
Failing to Traffic With the Democrats
Went to the Hanna
Market.

Allen Cook as the big man and leader
of the Populist party, demanded of the
Democracy of Stark county few weeks
ago, certain nomi nations on the county
tic&et. No conditions were attached
otherwise. There was TO charge that
the party was too corrupt for such men
as Cook and company to join hands with
These pure gentlemen we're willing.
For reasons not necessary to state, this
proposition was not accepted. The Demo-
craoy of Stark are evet liberal and fair,
and welcome all corners with open arms,
believing in making common cause
against the common enemy. Arrogance
and dictation, however, are not likely to
win, and are sssuredly not advisable.
In the late Populist state convention
MIR. Cook SEEMED to be the high cock "a
lorum, or dictator, just as if he had been
s, mt there as Hauna's man.
There ara but two sides to this great
monetary issue, and third party is not
nee ssary nor advisable. Trafficking and
bargaining over tie offices would only en-
courage ard perpetuate division wholly
unoalled for. Besides, the assumptions
leaders who make demands for an ar
rangement are actuated by purely selfish
motives, and not for the good of tho
cause or the general good.
Failing to arrange with the Democrats,
it seems that Cook and company made
other arrangements. Houest people will
not fail to draw conclusions on a mat
ter so apparent. The brutal and corrupt
Mark Hanna has nothing in common
with the common people, and there is no
doubt that his influence and his money
were used to control the Populist conven-
tion. The people will not do their duty
If they dc not wipe out the disgrace and
turn down Hanna, Dick, Cook e. Co.

TOWNSHIP BOARD.

The board of education of Canton

the court house Monday in regular ses-
sion. All of the members were present.
Mr.. II. A. Smith appeared before the
board and qualified as treasurer of the
board. Bond fixed at $4,000 was
furnished and accepted, DR.. p. H. Barr
and Mr.. Edward s. Raft being the bonds
men. sSeveral select committees made re-
ports.
At the last meeting of the board Prof.
W. W. Delsp had asked that his applica-
tion for teacher in sub district No. 10
be deferred, as he had not decided def
nitely as to whether he desired to teach
this year, having another matter in view.
At Mondays meeting his application
came up for action, and to demonstrate
his popularity and efficiency flfty-two
householders filed a petition with the
b5ard asking them to solicit Prof. Delap's
srvices ard secure them If possible. The
hoard proceeded at once to elect Prof.
Delap. Another session was had this
afternoon and routine matters discussed.

of Hannaism will bs the measure of their
political character. 1t is already conceded
by all honest people that any man who
desires to work for the election of Mr..
CoAey in Ohio this year and will support
the middle-c f-the-road candidates for the
legislature
CAN DRAW PAY FOR IT
From the Republican campaign fund.
Therefore he will be honestly accused of
drawing it whether he is guilty or not.
The Judgment Of the people will be that
If the man stumpiDg the state for Coxey
does not get his pay from Hanna it will
be his own fault.
Not for half my life would be caught
in that kind of company and warn the
knights Of Labor of Ohio against sup
porting a candidate for office who is aided
directly or indirectly, by this modern
Molcch Of political corruption.
"No honest man will deny that Mark
Hanna is anxious to have Peoples party
ticket in the field; that he is willing to
pay large sums of money to support it;
that he wants it to receive large vote,
and that he is at the same time one of
the bitterest enemies of the Peoples
party principles in America It certainly
does not take any great freak of wisdom
to see that any person Of force on the
stump can make high salary as Popu-
list in Ohio this year and those who are
horest and support Coxey from pure
motives will have to share the disgrace
equ lily with the hired emissaries of Mark
Hanna.
Il shall go into West Virginia and
plead the cause of the starving miners
there, but shall endeavor to contribute
some time on the stump in Ohio in the
interest of higher and purer standard
of politics on which rests the fate of
every reform now on the calendar of pub
lie discussion. In point of reform legis-
lation may not secure all may wish if
Mark Hanna is defeated by the Demo
Gratis, but after the fight is over will
have the satisfaction of knowing that con-
ditions which make reforms possible have
again been restor d to the poor of this
country. J. r. SOVEREIGN"

JOINS THE DEMOCRATS.
Judge ID. ID. Clayton Urges All the
Conscientious POpulists to
Follow His Lead.

Upper sandusky, August 16.-(Spe-
ciGl Judge d. ID. Clayton, who has
been recognized as the foremost Populist
of northern Ohio, in an interview to-day
proclaims unqualified allegiance to the
Democratic party and urges universal
joining of hands of all the opponents of
Hannaism.
The judges stand will undoubtedly
have a marked influence, and 1t is firmly
belived that the Populistio strength of
this part of Ohio will go almost In its en-
tirety to the Democratic ticket, and in
consequences this congressional district
will give Chapman at least 5000 plurality
The Judge roundly condemns the al
legged effort Of Dick to bribe Populist
delegates and believes 1t will open the
peoples eyes to the alleged attempt to buy
a seat In the senate.
