THE OMAHA DAILY BEE, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1891 GEN. GRANT LIVES IN BRONZE Daveiling of the Magnificent Statue of the Dead Hero at Chicago. THOUSANDS WITNESS THE CEREMONY. In Spite of the Unfavorable Weather the Occasion is Worthily Cele- brated—Judge Gresham De- livers a Masterly Oration. Cnieago, 1L, Oet. 7.--Under a leaden sky, from whic n bad n falling at intervals during the day, with sharp winds blowing ncross the lake and city; in the presence of a grest throng who braved the elements; amid booming cannon from the governmont vessols off the shore: the scceaming of whis tles from tae shipping,the resounding straios of “The Star Spangled Baaner,” played by many bands; with regiments of federal and stato troops at “present arms,’’ while Grand Army veterans and civie societies clus- tered about, the heroic bronze statue of the late General U. S, Grant, upon a mag- nificent granite padestal spanaing the road- way at the top of the hill looking toward the lake, was unveiled tothe multitudes present. Looked as in Life. The great silent figure, firm in the saddle, looking steadily across the broad expanse of waves, seemied as if again in lifoand heediess of the excited throng about him, scanning the horizon for the encmics of the land which, 1 (od's providence, he had been called to majostically defend The cnormous crowd gathered there formed an extraordinary fizure, including notonly high civil and military dignitaries of tho nation, state and city, but those gathered from far and uear who were closest to the dead general personally—tho wife, who stood by him for years, und the veterans of his original regiment, the famous old Twenty-first Illinois infantry, with the idoutical colors unfurled at his first head- Quarters tont. The orator of the day, sion distinguished like his sub- ject in camp and counsel, was tne stalwart soldier-jurist, General Walter Q. Gresnam, juago of the United States court of appeals. An impressive hush fell on the thousands as General Gresham, facing the Iake, stepped forward to the edge of the plat- form at thv base of the monument. Wonderful Gathering. On either side, in tiers up tue green slope, benind the speaker, the distinguished guests were given places, among them Mrs. General Grant, her white hair showing beneath the widow's bounet, Massed in front were nearly 20,000 uniformed men, infantry, cav alry and artillery, both regular and’state militia, grizzled veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic; right plumed Knignts of Pythias, und many similar semi-military and civic orcunizations; back of them the general puvlic, and beyond an imposing array of nearly 200 vessels, profusely decked with buuting, the United States steamers Michigan, Johnson and Kessenden, lake steamers, tugs, yachts, city firo boats and miscellanious Jake craft. Thousands of Troops in Line, Leading up to this superb culmination was the formation on the lake front three miles distant of u great land parade and its march to the statute under command of Major Gen- eral Neison A.

Newman offered prayor. Then Colonel i. S. Taylor presented the monument on behalf of the monument association to the commissioners of Lincoln park. The unveilipg followed and General Gresham then delivered his ad- dress, which was in snbstance as follows: Gresham on Grant.

Theodors Roosevelt of the Civil Service commission is in the city on his return from o hunting trip. He presonted tho exposition officials aplan for an exhibit of hunting and fishing utensils. “Here is my ides,” said Roosevelt. *I want an exhibit of every weapon and utensil used in hunting, fishing and trapping, since the discovery of the country down to the present day. Wo bave the greatest hunting country on earth.

Australia is to have a display at the fair. Alexander Campbell, special commissioner to that country, reports to Chief Fearn that Sir Walter Butlér, who owns the largest collec- tion of Maori paintings 1n the world. has promised to send his entire collection and follow them to Chicago. Leigh Lynch, tho man who had charge of the Chicago base ball club during its former trip around the world, wishes to oxhibit a Japanese village. In the display of this vil- lage Mr. Lynch desires to expend £0,000, and the ways and means committee decided to recommend tnat 20,000 square feet on the exposition grounds be set aside for the pur- pose.

Trumpeter Dixon of the Sixth cavairy, sta- tioned at Fort Niobrara, is in jail in Omalia and will be teied in the United States court for the muraer of Corporal Carter. Dixon had his preliminary he: ng yester- day and the ovidence against him appeared to be very positive. Although there ap peared to have been no eye witness to tue shooting, yet the dying statemevt of Cor- poral Carler charged Dixon with deliberato murder, and the rest of the evidence was to the same effect. Itappeared that Corporal Carter, in the discharge of his duty at Fort Niobrara, had ordered a _couple of disreputable women, with whom Dixon bad been quite intimate, to leave the vicinity of the garrison. One of the women, a colored amazon, rofused to obey and enyaged in a personal encounter with Corporal Carter. The corporal was obliged to use physical forceto drive hor away, and fo the melee the woman received a black eye and a sound paddling with a clabboard. She finally departed, but threat- ened the corporal with dire vengeance. The next day she saw Dixon and asked him to avenge the treatment she had received at the hands of the corporal. Dixon borrowed alarge revolver, went to the barracks and called Corporal Carter out. Carter stepped outside of the door ana had scarcely closed it behind him when the soldiers inside heard the report of a pistol. They rushed out and found Carter holding Dixon and the latter holding a smoking volver in his hand and trying to break away from Carter. “Hold him boys, for God's sake, hola him, he has murdered me,’” shouted Carter as ho clung to Dixon. The soldiers scized Dixon and then Carter fell to the ground. Dixon was put in the gnard house and Carter died tho next day. ‘The bullet passed entirely througn his body in the pelvic regions. Carter was very highly respected by his fellow soldiers, and by the ofticers of the gar- rison. It is said that Dixon nhad attempted to kill a man several months before. He is a fine looking, boyish fellow but has evidently a desperate nature that he has not been able to control. - DROWNED IN A CISTERN. Sad Fate That Overtook Little John- nie McClanahan Yesterday. Johunie, the 3-year-old son of Dr. Me- Clanahan, was drowned in a cistern at the rear of the family residence on Lowe avenuo near Hamilton streot, about 4 o'clock yester- aay afternoon. “I'he cistern was a now one and the recent heavy rains caused the entire top to cave in, leaving a hole about ten feet in diameter close to the rear part of € house and within 8 foot of the steps leading to the rear door. There was about six feet of water in the cistern and the little fellow had been warned against going near it. Arrangements had been made to repair the damage and Mrs. McClanahan had kept a close watch over her boy, but her attention wAs engaged in the moments und when_she 1ooked for Johunie a_moment afterward he bhad disappeared. Sbe searched the neigh borhood and ran quickly to the residence of J. I'. Wagner at 3362 Charlos street, as Jonnnie had been 1n the habit of playing with the Wagner children. Not finding him there she at once started back exclaiming that he must_be crowued. Mr. Wagner followed her closely and at once dragged the cistern with a garden ruke. Tho body was found and removed to the house. Physicians were summoned at once and every offort was mado to resuscitate the little fellow, but lifs was extinct. Dr. Me- Clauahan arrived about this time and added his efforts to those of his colleagues, but without avail. Mrs. McClanahan was heartbroken over lier loss and would allow no_one to touch the body but herself. It was feared that she would loso her mind through grief. Friends quickly assembled and did overything pos- sible to assuage the grief of the parents. S — PATRICK'S GREAT TORPEDO. The Omaha Man's Invention Proves a Record Breaker. Newronr, R.

They don't stand around half an hour to get waited on when we're rushed, simply to kill time. They don't trade with us because we sell better goods than anybody else, because no one house nor dozen houses can corner all the good things. They trade with us because it pays them to do it, because we hit 'em in their touchiest spot, their pocketbooks, In other words it's &k B BVOYNY I G PRI that keeps the machinery of our great business constantly oiled.
