A QUAINT OLD MAN.-From Mr..
George Sch1esinger, who has recently
been travelling through Western Kan
sas for the we'll known hat and cap
house of Ben. Wood, of this city, we
learn the following particulars con-
corning a curious old German. Mr.. s.
writes:
While in Junction City / saw some
thing in the shape of curiosity, that
think might even put old z. L. Bar
NUNS (of New. York; stock in the back
ground. There lived man fifty years
ofage, who commenced building house
for himself in the year 1860; he laid the
foundation and kept on until the war
broke out, served four years in the Fed
eral army, came back to find his house
almost demolished, started work on it
again in 1866, and has it now all COM
pieted, with the exception of flooring
and windows. The house is built eX-
clusively of Junction City marble, and
although there are many houses there
of the same material, still it is admitted
by all that none can compare with OLD
Dutch Jacobs, as he is called, Jacob
Manager. The stone he dug or qnarried
himself, hauled il to his house, dressed
it, and put them all in their places with
out assistance from any one. Even the
mortar was made by himself. In short,
he mas handsome IWO-SIOfy, ana Gel
lar, house, all of the finest of that quail
ity of stone, built all by himself. His
well is the only portion of his house
wherein he had help III building; this
is forty EIGHT feet deep, round as globe,
even and smooth as piece of glass, and
walled all the way down by the same
material of stone, of which his house is
built. Some believe him TO be about
half crazy. He.works every day in the
week, rain or shine. l offered him my
hand on leaving, which he positively re-
fused, saving that if he shook hands
with me he would have 10 do the same
thing with every one, and as he beliey-
ed in friendship as a huDlbug, he wished
to keep his hands to himself. / asked
him what his object could be in under
taking such a task as building q house
without assistance, when he answered,
"Y on know dat old tam fool like me
can do eberytings, und dat is my pleas
ure." He is a Bavarian by birth, and,
as L said before, fifty years of age, came
10 America iii 1913, aud has for the past
eleven wears been living between Man
haitian, Kansas, and Junction City, has
never known a sick day in his life, aud
has the frame and strength of a bull; is
a bachelor (despises women, SO I am
told) does all his own cooking, wash
ing, mending, and in fact does every
thing.-KdasGs City Times.

4 TRIp To c0WLEY COUYTY.

From Eldorado we travelled down the
valley of the. Walnut, on what Is known
AS the Twenty Mile Strip Two years
ago this section of country was eonsfd-
cred beyond the pale of ciYilizafaons
with but here and there q trading post
now there is house on nearly. every
quarter section along-the valleys, and
substantial improvements seen on every
side this, too, regardless Of the diiatory
and equivocal action of Congress III re-
gard to these lands. The powers that
be should pave the way and invite im-
migration to the public domain and
not by inactivity and proorastinatioli
retard' it. The public lands appear 20
be stock In trade of Representatives IN
Congress, which.bya system of political
legerdemain is shuffied, cut and dealt
out to sons-in-laws, corporations and
themselves.
Remove the Osage Indians-anxious
and waiting to be remoyed-and throw
their lands open to settlement and IN
very few yeass, and not only the TWEEN
ty mile strip but all of what is now ia
Cowiey county, would be one of the
foremost agricultural and stock-rais-
ing districts in the State. and mineral
deposits now struggled would be de-
veloped.
at the junction of the Walnut and
Whitewater is situated the town of Au-
gusta. Messrs. James 81 Shamlefier have
a good store at this point and are APP
parently doing good business. The
town is pleasantly situated, central
point of trade, and we predict the nu-
cieus of county scat for a new county,
some day to be formed. We formed
several pleasant acquaintaHces at this
place, among them that of Mr.. Eatons
who has large herd of sheep en-route
from Illinois. Mr.. E. has one of the
bar f,,f tot
Ia large one recently erected. We enc
joyed those pleasant etceteras which
cheers the weary traveller.
Douglas is situated at the mouth of
the Little Walnut, some ten miles FROM
Augusta, on what is called the Cattle
Trail, the route over which the Texas
cattle are driven-but as emigration is
fast filing the country with domestic
stock, it is thought that another trail
will be opened this season further down
the river, probably crossing near the
mouth CT Dutch creek.
Some thirty miles of travel brought
us to Dutch creek; we passed through
Il beautiful valley varying from two to
six miles in width, with the Walnut
belted with timber meandering through
it. We crossed Mud, Rock, and Little
Dutch creeks, all streams of considers
BILE size, with wide bottoms and heavy
bodies of timber. Dutch creek, which
forms junction with the Walnut in the
very heart of Cowley county, is stream
of considerable size and heavily timber
ed. at this point is situated the en-
bryo town of Lagonda, where there is a
store opened with every prospect of do
ing a good business settlers are fast
taking claims, and we learned that over
hundred are now taken between the
twenty mile strip and the mouth of the
Chase County Banner.

New YoRK, April 27.-The Tri-

made a long speech in the Commons
yesterday, sup porting his motion re-
spectipg the Fenian raids. He made
an addition to his previous motion,
so as to include all the correspond
ence between Canada and the United
States.during the rebellion. He de-
Tended, at great length, the policy of
Canada, and closed by saying that the
course of the United States appeared
to be dictated by desire to bring
about the humiliation of England
through her dependencies on this
Continent, but he did not believe the
MIN vonld slfpcped England would
not for a moment give way, and the
people of C4nada would sustain her
to a man. Having repudiaUed the
idea that the policy of Great Britain
toward the Dominion was one of
abandonment, Mr.. Gait closed amid
loud cheers.

From Chicago.

CHICAGO, April 27.-Che following
! is understood to be the substance of
the answer of the State House Com
missioners to the charges Of fraud
preferred against them: They admit
the first specification, except that
they deny that any of the proceeds
have been retained by them; that a
/ part of the money was paid out for
| necessary expenses, and the remainder
| is still held. The expense of the
| Committee on Public Buildings, while
acting with the Commissioners, was
Maid out of the fund The law did
not require them to return the pro
ceeds of the sale, aud as it was not a
| part of the appropriation, no report
! was made of it. An account of II.
| had been kept, showing that 1t has
| been used in the erection OF the State
House. and vouchers filed, showing
its disposition. They admit the
payment of the forty dollars, bat
saw that the vouchers were pre-
pared BY Webber, on whose
fidelity they relied, and signed by
them without that scrutiny which
ought to have been given it.
Specification 2 They admit adver-
tising. &c.. but do not deny or admit
that Barnard and Gowen changed
their bid; but if they did, it would
do no injury to the State, as this bill
was originally the lowest which, com
ing within the law, could have been
accepted and if the bid was changed,
it was Ia the hands of Webber. IL
whose charge it was from the time 1t
was opened till passed upon.
They deny all of the third specIh-
cation. The books, papers and
vouchers in the office of the Commis-
sioners, which are submitted, dis
prove the whole of it.
Specification 4 They admit the
payment Of the retained per centage,
but say that it was wholly within their
discretion; that the bond Of 5000 600
given by Barnard & Gowen made the
State perfectly safe, as but $l3, 900 or
$50, 600 worth of work yet remains to
b. done on the contract.
Specification 5. They admit the pay
ment OF a large sum of money, $50 600,
but deny that the contract was OBJ
tanned by fraud or corruption, and
submit the books, SC.
