lies. The last resolution reads as fol-
lows:
Resolred, That We invite tho people

stations, State. county aud town, to CO.
operate with the National association.
That power to accomplish the purposes
desired rests absolutely with the suf.
feriog millions. Relief is within their

Qualities Of Soils,

The qualities Of soils do not depend
solely on their mineral constitution OF
on their physical properties, nor yet
on those of the subsoils that support
them. These qualities, to become OBJ
vious, require that the soils shall be
placed in certain conditions which
must not be left out of the reckoning.
Such a those of the climate eujoyed
and the position more or less inclined
to the horizon in one direction or an
other. But in general it would be
proper to say that clayey lands answer
better in dry climates, and light, sandy
soils in countries where rains are fire.

long ago, in connection with numer-
ous analyses Of wheat lands. The con.

sdapted for wheat in . rainy country,
must be viewed in = very different way
with reference to = country where

for example, where = great deal Of rain

TINE BENDER DUTCaERIEs.

THE BENDER BUTCHERIES.
Within few weeks the authorities
have ferreted out = series Of murders
committed in southeast Kansas, as
inhumau 10 execution and sickenicg in
detail IS ever disgraoed . civilized
country. We copy from the reports Of
Detective Beers, who managed the in
vestigatiou: "For several months diff:
ferent persons have been disappearing
very mysteriously on the route between
Independence and Usage Mission.
Nearly dozen persons had suddenly
dropped out Of sight in this WY, and
the matter was exciting a great deal Of
talk throughout southeast Kansas
On the route between these two places
is dismal stretch Of prairie, sparsely
settled. Two Of the landmarks of this
prairie are Drum Greek and Big Hill.
Midway between them lived the Ben
der family, consisting Of the old man,
the old woman, = young man who pass
ed - = son Of Bender, and \ young
woman who passed a. the daughter Of
the old woman. The young people
passed as married. although the young
or Mrs. Bender bore slippery charsc-
ter on the point Of morality. Bender
had = frame house, Of several rooms,
which he had built upon . claim, He
professed to ksepa grocery in the
front room Of the house, and an eating
room for travellers. The house stood
in thr midst ofs prairie, with nothing
to break the view for . mile around"
Nothing had been done to solve the
mysterious disappearance Of travellers
over the road until Dr.. York "a brother
Of Senator York, the hero of the Pome.
roy bribery casey was among the is
sing. Senator York organised party
to search for his brother, and in the
course Of their operations they stopped
for lunch At the Bender house. The
inmates Of course learned their busi-
ness, and the young man even volun-
tesred to assist. In day or two the
whole family left secretly, which con-
drmed the suspicious that had been
entertained in the neighborhood, and
they commenced = search Of the prem
ises. The disclosures were horrible.
They found, buried near the house,
nearly dozen todies-Dr. York's and
and some others being recognized.
They apparently killed their victims
and threw them into 4 pit under the
house till night, and then bsrisd them
Detective Beers thinks it was done As
follows: "The parties either came or
we're entieed to the house. where the
yeung woman engaged them ia con-
versatioo, for she had the reputation
in al that part Of the country Of being
. good talker. Thea one # the men
wosM strike the visitor on the back Of
the head, telling him to the deor,
when the other would strike him with
heavier, sleage-liks instrument. 1t
would then b but the work Of IN il.
slant to drag the victim to the trap
and cut his throat. In every case, ex-
eept that Of The child, these terrible
wousds were found on the back of the
head, and the threats we're gashed
from ear to ear. Two hammers were
found m the house, that had evidently
been used in the manner described"
The object was plunder. The Ben.
ders are supposed to have startei for
