eompleted ito organization and commenced Its
work. but in so unostentatious manner that the
friends of Ksnsss have sometimes feared IL was
Geing little OF nothing. Such, however 10 lar
from being the case. They have not judged best
to work with so much parade and publicity as has
stt,1ded the operations of many Kansas Commit

known for bis entire honor and uprightness, aud
