New Orleans Wins.

Having secured the Confederate
reunion for next year, New Or
leans is given the finest opportu-
nifty that it will have in countless
years to make good her title as
the metropolis of the South. The
survivors of the Confederate ar
mics will represent a meteorlc
nation that in the four years of
it's battle riddled existence, ex-
hibited a degree of valor, power
and resourcefulness which stands
unrivalled in the worlds history.
Each State, each section of this
colossal Republic must, in very
large measure, shape its own
status and its own destinies, and
it is observable that this COM
mendable spirit is the impelling
force in even the smallest village
along all lines Of progress.
A sentiment which is ennobling
and uplifting to the people of
the South moves the descendants
of those gray phalanxes, which
wrestled against three millions of
foes, to assemble with them an
nually to do them honor.
In these great reunions, the an
imating principles underlying the
Republic of the fathers are re-
hearsed, and 50 are the stories of
glorious achievements and the
songs which gave them pathos
and inspirations.
The glory that the Southern
Confederacy bequeathed to the
South will ever be its richest
heritage, and we doubt not that
the gallantry of New Orleans will
arise to show its due homage

Several meetings have been held
by our citizens recently for the
purpose of securing the necessary
inducements to justify the Colo
rado Southern Railroad to build

that our people are disposed to
extend ali reasonable assistance
to the project. The COMMITTEES
OF Seven, to whom has been en-
trusted the task of formulating q
report of their labors, will no
doubt be able to submit some
definite plan at the next meeting.

prove a paying investment to the

that it will supply a long-felt

The Tom Graham Hearing at Des MONIES.

AS we write the hearing of Thos.
recently discharged by Custodian Nc
Curdy of the state capitol for alleged
neglect of duty, is in progress. 1t
began on Monday, lasting through the
day and yesterday. The Register and
Leader devoted two columns to it yes
terdav, calling it a farce in each
particular. in which the "whole
affair receives the condemnation
of the entire public Custodian
McCurdy is 'acting as prosecuting
witness, prosecuting counsel, judge,
jury and all. He is trying to GUST the
the night watchmsn. who refuses to
go, appealing to the soldiers prefer
ence law, and they had sort of q
Kilkenny cat of a time. The GUS
todian's witnesses are not sworn to
tell the truth, although Graham S
witnesses are sworn, and it appears to
be case of the custodian having it
in for Graham, with no foundation in
truth for his dismissal. A few I'M
reaonable, silly charges, trumpet up
for the purpose, are put forward by
thu custodian, who is bound to let
Graham go. Large crowds are attend
ing the hearing, and practically the
whole state house force is there for
Graham, enraged at the actions of the
custodian.
1t is altogether probable that Nc
Curdy will decide against Graham, in
which case the matter will be appealed
to the district court under the soldiers
preference law.

Miss Allison Dies at Pittsburg.

A telegram which brought a gloom
of deep sorrow over the ONE of Mrs.
@. W. Allison and many others in
DEBORAH arrived on Monday morning,
announcing the death in a lo0sital at
Pittsburg, Pa, of Miss Georgia ALI
son. who was recently o. Grated upon
for appendicitis, which was followed
by pneumonia, and caused her death.
There is particular element of sad
ness in her death at this time, as she
was to have been married on Thanks
giving Dav to prominent business
man Of Pittsburg, who now joins
the circle of mourning relatives and
friends.
Miss Georgiana Allison was born
in DEBORAH, May %, 1878, and grew
up to wcmanhood here. She spent
four years in the Chicago kindergarten
College, afterwards accepting posi-
tion in kindergarten work in Pitts
burg, where her efficient and pains
taking work soon resulted in her being
placed in charge of 6S kindergarten
schools in Pittsburg and Allegheny
City. She had attained front rank
among the kindergarten workers of the
country, and her able services in this
respect will he greatly missed.
Miss Allison was possessed Of a
lovable disposition that readily at
tracted close friendships, which once
gained were never lost. Her untimely
death will be generally mourned among
large acquaintanceship in DEBORAH
as we'll as Pittsburg.
The remains arrived from Pitts
burg today, and the funeral will
be held on tomorrow Thursday after
noon at O'Clock from the home of her
mother, Mrs. @. W. Allison.

Rober son Lecture Tomorrow Night.

The second number of the lecture
course will be given tomorrow Thurs
day. night at the Grand opera house.
1t will be the great illustrated lecture
on Russia by Frank r. Robertson,
everywhere conceded to be the greatest
descriptive lecturer upon the platform.
His illustrations are SO far above those
ordinarily given at lectures that they
can not be considered in the same
class. No subject could be more per-
tinent at this time than Russia, and
the Grand will be crowded with our
people to hear him.

Postoffice Scales.

The government is having set of
platform scales placed in the alley in
the rear of the postoffice this week, to
be used in weighing the bulky mail
passing through the DEBORAH Office,
more particularly the DEBORAH Pos ten,
which is sent out by the dray load
twice a week. We are glad to note
that the contract for putting in the
scales was let to Sampson g. Co., of
the DEBORAH Scale Works, thereby
patronizing worthy home enterprise.
This concern competed with some of
the large scale factories OF the country
and won out.
