The BIG CONGRESSIONAL STEAL.-Much
has been said against the Consressmen who
voted themselves each S. ,0G0 back pay
That crime was a heinous one in representa-
tives of the people, who had stipulated to
serve for a fixed price, and should lead to
the political death of every one of them, but
the craft betrayed in securing the President :
signature to the bill was worthy of some
commcndation. You see, these thief Cou-
gressmen knew Grant better than the people
do. When Butler was getting up the amend
ment, he called in some of the Cougressmei
to advise with him about the steal, and they
all said Grant would veto the bill. Butle
got mad and said they were fools, that +
man that ordered tie Jew traders out of h
department on the Mississippi so that h'
and his father, Jesse, could have all thu
army stealing to themselves, would neve
veto bill that contained bribe of 500,
600 TO himself Butler was right, and Gran
signed the bill and pockets the $4,000
Now, we contend that it is not right to abus
these Congressman for stealing s., 900 eac'
and let the President 90 when he stole, b.
the same act, 500, ,000 Honor anon
thieves ought to induce the President to di
vide, and honor among Republican paper
ought to compel them to give the Presiden
twenty times the abuse that they give Con
gressmen.

Catholic Confirmation.

Interesting ceremonies took place at
II. Alovsius Catholic church last sun
day at 3 o'clock. a. IN. Right Reverend
Bishop l.. \. Fink. of Lcavenworth
City. celebrated low mass. and at ten
o'clock the same ceremonies were per
formed by Rev. Father Phelix +.
Swembcrg. at the close of which the
sacrament of confirmation was admin
istered by the bishop to about twenty
members Of the congregation. y vast
crowd had gathered for the occasion.
but owing to the short notice given
previous TO the arrival of the bishop
in this city. but few outside Of the
members of the church had come to
witness the ceremonies. Both before
and after the administration of the
sacrament, Bishop Fink delivered. in a
clear aud forcibtc manner. an address
of eminent fitness. He spoke al large
of the necessity of leading supernatu-
raj and spiritual life, admonished his
hearers TO educate their children both
by the word and the example and end
ed by All explanation of the sacrament
he had administered.
At the close of his instructions mas,
was celebrated by Rev: Father Perricr,
of Emporia.
At the evening services. O'Clock
p. m. the Right Reverend Bishop Fink
ofiiciated, assisted by Rev. Felix T..
>wenbergh, who closed the ceremonies
of the day with an appropriate sermon.
The choir, presided over by Father
Pcrrier, sang the vespcrs in a highly
creditable manner. and we noticed,
with more than ordinary delight. the
soprano voice Of Miss f. swceny, late
ly arrived from Leavenw orth, TO take
charge Of the Caothlic school.
We observe IN and around the church
a number of impr, ycmcnts. The build
ing has been strengthened. plastered

made fast and grained. number Of
pictures. among which a painting OF
the Madonna, adorn the walls, the nj
tar has been decorated with flowers
and lights, and presented grand effect

purchased In the whole the "old me-
mortal church" has undergone quite q
change for the better, and we hope ST
distant day that we shall see it re-
placed by beautiful cathedral.

ganized in conn ton with the church

Sad Case of Wife Deserition.

The Sadalia Mo, Ba-oo says that a
man named John Carpenter. a shoe
maker BIZ trade. made his appearance
in that place short time since, from
Wichita. Kansas, and soon Won the
confidence Of lady, the wife OF a gem
tleman residing there. History repeat
ed itself insolnuch that she turned re-
creant TO her unsuspccting husband,
and began an Illicit life with Carpenter.
Matters soon became 10 warm for them
at Sedqlia. and they went TO Moberly,
where, at last accounts, they were liy-
ing in lust. Wichita, according to the
information in our possession, has an
important claim upon this Carpenter.
\ broken-hearted wife. paralyzed, help
less and without support, is now lying
at the point of death in this city. Car
penter was for some time in the en-
ploy of Roseberry * Co., OH Main
street. aud started some weeks sine !,
as he represented to his wife, who ac-
companied, for Denver. They reach
ed Topeka, where lie took Mrs. {. TO
to the house Of friend. He then re-
ceived from his wife quite all the funds
she had, earned and carefully saved b!
herself, and then deserted her, going 10
Sedalia. His subsequent action =
sufficient commentary upon the cl:,:r-
acter OF the man. If we may judge
from the feeling of Indignation which
prevails in this city among those whc
are best acquainted with the fact
"safety and convenience" viii make Il
desirable for Carpenter TO give this 10
cality Il wide berth.

The Southwest.

The editor OF the laurence Journal,
who delivered the address at our Agri-
cultural Fair, thus dots down his inn
pressions of this town and country.
A trip to Wichita last week gave us
some idea of the remarkable growth Of
the southwestern part of the state.
The train upon which we went down
was composed of five cars fully loaded
with passengers. the most of whom
were seeking for homes in the valley of
the Arkansas and those of its tributa-
RIGS. At Wichita we found three thou
sand peope attending the first agricul-
tural fair ever held in the valley The
show of farm products was fine, and
some lines of stock were largely repre-
scented. Remembering that the whole
region was a buffalo range less than
five years ago, the growth has been TN
paralelled.

business street is more than half mile
in length, and many Of the fine build

cities. 1t has churches. school houses.

proved so successful that it may be
made permanent arrangement. prob

come on.
Wichita is one of the greatest cattle
markets III the state. There were &c.
600 head of Texas cattle awaiting ship
,nent there last week. This trade
makes large profitable and safe bust
ness for her baLks. We were glad to
learn that none Of them had succumbed
to the panic, but were paving their
checks as usual.
We have never seen finer looking
wheat fields than those along the Cot
tonwood. Their crop was fine this
wear, and an unusual breadth has been
sown this fall The wheat has come
up evenly and now covers the ground
with u new carpet Of green. The pro-
mise for another year is most hopeful.

There has been Il constant stream OF

Sketch Of the City of Shreveport

Shreveport. where the yellow fever
has been creating such terrible havoc.
is the second city in Louisiana, both IN
population and commercial impor-
lance, it being the centre of trade for
the Red River country. Before the
war ii had three thousand inhabitants.
but on the close of the war many
northern men went into business there,
and the place became an active, enter
prising business city, rapidly growing
in population. until il is now estimat-
ed to have between 10000 and $4,000
inhabitants. 1t ows his commercial
importance to the fact that it occupies
the only available site on the Red Ri
yer for such place, there being no
good landing place Oh the west side of
| the river within a hundred miles. The
Red River valley is the richest region
in the country for the production OF
cotton and sugar. and this makes
| Shreveport one of the greatest markets
in the valley of the Mississippi or lis
| tributaries for those staples. Shreve-
port is something like five hundred
miles up the Red River. and i one
| hundred miles west Of Wick bur@. Il
| is at the head of steamboat navigation.
and fifteen miles below the great Red
River raft. which is one of the most
remarkable formations in the world.

flucnce with the branches. Shreveport

continuous succession Of marshes

dred miles 10 the west. there being one
chain of great bayous formed by the
raft Though at low water a great sur
face is exposed to the action OF the sun
