MEMORIAL DEDICATED
In Honor of Confederates Who
Died at Camp Chase.

Columbus, o., June 1.-THE unveilins
and dedication of memorial arch u
Confederate dead attracted 5000 people
from all parts of the country to this
city today The arch was the gift of
William Harrison of Cincinnati. a for
mer citizen of Columbus. The dead sol
diers were prisoners at Camp Chase,
west of Columbus. during the war and
died in prison. For many years the
little cemetery was neglected Former
President Hayes paid a farmer to keep
the burial ground free from weeds.
Former Governor Foraker had the gov
ernment inclose the spot with a stone
wall. Several years ago Colonel w H
Nause. a public-spirited local citizen and
ex-federa1 soldier, instituted a yearly
custom of decorating the graves Mr..
Harrison was not soldier in either
army, but was influenced in making his
gift by sentiment. The ceremonies OF
today were the most elaborate ever held.
There were many ex-Confederates pres
ent from all parts of the south.
Among the speakers were Governor
Nash and General John B. Gordon
Graves We're decorated by the ladies of
the G. A. r. and the Daughters of the
COnfederacy.

knights and Ladies Of Security
Reconsider Selection.

Louisville. KY. June 14.-At Fridays
session of the Knights and Ladies Of
Security the question of a selection of
q place for holding the next biennial
meeting was reconsidered and St Louis
was chosen.
E A Kea bles of Denver was elected
a trustee. The convention adjourned
sine die.
: The salaries of the president. secre-
tary and medical director were fixed at
Sc, ,000 each, annually. The officers are
president W. B. Kirkpa trick. secretary,
J. NJ. Wallace. and medical director Il.
A Warner.
The action placing the salaries of
these officials at s6, 600 will have the effect
of cutting down the amounts received
by each Of the gentlemen. Heretofore
a fee of fifty cents on each new mem
ber whose name came to the head Office
resulted in making the salaries of the
officers run up to a sum slightly under
$4,000 per year. This amount might be
smaller some years and might be more
at others, depending upon the increase
in men bership. This form met with the
disapproval of many of the members OF
the order and consequently the result
vas the action of the convention stIpu-
1ating- a regular annual salary Of $4,000.
It seems generally admitted that this
was the most harmonious session Of
the grand lodge ever held. The admin
istra ton received strong support.

IT WASN,T A BLUFF.
Kansas City, Kansas, About to Lose4
Missouri Pacific Shops.

A funny thing has happened at Kan
sas City, Kan. When the state board
of railroad assessors was in session a
few weeks ago, some of the Wyandotte
county officials put up big fight to
have the assessment OF the Missouri
Pacific Railway company largely in
creased in Kansas City. Kan. There was
a lively dispute in the presence of the
board in which the lie was more or less
politely passed between Deputy County
Clerk Hoffman, of Wyandotte county.
and Tax Commissioner Highleyman of
the Missouri Pacific.
The railroad company threatened, if
its assessment was raised to remove It's
shops in Kansas City. Kan, to the east
bottoms in Kansas City, Mo This was
looked upon as only a bluff at the time,
but it now seems that the company
meant business. and Kansas City, Kan,
is getting frightened about It, A con
ference of WyandOtte county business
interests was held a day or two ago.
and as a consequence & petition, headed
by Mayor CraddOck, fusion candidate
for governor on an anu-corporatlon
platform. has been telegraphed to the
Kansas congressional delegat ton, ask
ing the Kansas men bers of congress to
go to New York and ask George Gould
to leave the shops in Kansas where
they are. The telegram was as fol-
