!: titution and are the victims of Il most
cruel and senseless trick. They had
been living on plantation in lick
man county, Tenn, about ffly miles
] from Nashville. Some time ago two
Zor three strange white men went
::lmong and gave them glowing &C
counts of the country in Kansas, tell
linz them that the Government was
3desirous OF having it settled as rapid
2y as possible, and that every ten
Families who would agree to 90 and

Louis with deed to 100 acres OF
/ good land, two horses. & wagon. and
six months rations. Glamored by
such prospect, they raised $50 by
ldint Of much exertion, and with this
amount succeeded in purchasing
Transportation to this city. Arriving
here they found that they had been
lvictimized, and they are now without
food, shelter. or means to enable
them to travel elsewhere. About

TIE 18TH OF APRIL Monday
last was the centennial anniversary
Ilf day, memorable in the annals OF
the world. Ga that day, one hun
!red years ago, the fight at Concord
Mas. took place, which was the
commencement Of the war of the
Revolution.
Harper's Magazine for May con
'tarns a graphic description of the
lfcht. and the whole affair from b.
,innlng to end. On that day. tn,
british soldiers learned that Ameri
'eans we're prepared not only to die
but to she'd the blood Of other,
'cor the sake of their principles
Since then 4 thousand crimes have
en committed in the name of Lib
'ertv, but the great heart of the PEG
bile beats in unison to the sentiment
That animated the hearts Of our fore
Fathers, and Americans are still tn
llovotCes of freedom.
Our space does not permit us t.

ANOTHER LETTER FROM JoYcE.-Ex-
Deputy Collector Joyce, who was con-
victed of completely in the st. Louis
whisky frauds, and who is now imprison-
ed in jefferson City, Mo, in a letter to
the Chicago Inter- Ocean, resents some
satirical comments of that journal on
his peculiar style of rhetoric, and de-
scribes his present psychological expert
ences as follows:
Il am monarch in my cell, for the
soul and watts me away on the wings Of
Imagination to the realms of poetry,
where thieves and purjurers can never
enter"

The Presidents message informs
the country that there are on the pen
sion rolls 81 OBS pensioners from the
army of 1912, of which 1G,e15 are sur
vivUrs, and 6,l63 widows. This is a
remarkable exhibit Of longevity and
vitality, and opens the suggestions
that the true way 10 prolong vigor-
Gus life is to enlist in the army and be
shot at few times. 1t is now over
sixty years since the last battle OF the

Prairie Fire In Kansas.

The Leaventhworth Kan Commercial
of the Sd inst. says: A very destruct-
i've prairie fire broke out near the north
line Of Ottawa county last week, and
swept over large track of country be-
tween there and Concordia. Fortunate
ly the citizens OF Concordia had burned
the grass around their town, and no dam
age was done. The wind was blowing
strong from the south, and where the
ssa was bgh be a mo9 TSua ieap
hundred feet, making all ordinary fire
breaks, useless. MIR. Patrick, Sr., who
lives near Concordia. lost his hay and
out-buildings, worth 81 900. A man named
Grant, living in the southeastern part of
Cloud county, lost nearly all he had. 1t
is wonder that more property was not
destroyed. The fire was caused by a
spark from the chimney of dug-out."

4 REMARKABLE MILITARY CAREER
According to the Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal the military career of Col. Megrue,
TIE st. Louis whisky ring informer, was
remarkable one. 1t declares that
while major of the fourth Ohio cavalry
he let his regiment go to the front while
he remained in Cincinnati. General
Rosencranz ordered him out of that
city, but he still fingered. \ second or
der came for him to be brought to the
field in irons. This order was after
wards modified, and Megrue went 20 the
front and resigned
