Show A Ghastly Cargo. A special train of three cars arrived in the Union Pacific depot at Walla Walla, Wash., last week with a ghastly cargo, consisting of tiie entire contents of the military graveyard at Fort Lapwai, Idaho. There were upward of sixty caekets, nearly all receptacles of soldiers' sol-diers' bones. The reported reason for the removal is that the land whereon the cemetery was located had been taken up ! by settlers, who show a disposition to ! level the graves and plant their seed over tho remains. Uncle Sam's guardians guard-ians didn't relish this idea, and Lence the transfer. The Fourth cavalry, with the band, in full dress and accouter-tnents, accouter-tnents, were at the depot to meet and conduct tho mortuary procession to the cemetery at Fort Walla Walla, where the remains were reinterred with military mili-tary ceremonies.
