Southern War Claims.

Nearly all the southern war claims are
owned by carpet baggers, and were gotten up
by them, introduced into congress by Re-
publican congressman, etc.. etc. Nearly
all that have been allowed were allowed
by Republican congress, and all that
haze been paid haze been paid By the ap
proUG Of Republican president.
Many of them are frau iulent,
and were denounced as such by the
late Speaker Kerr and other Democratic
IN embers of congress. As sample of
them, take the one gotten up and intro
duced in the senate by L,gan-a bill to
j. NJ. Best, of Paducah, KY, for SIS, 900
for the use Of battle field!
And then look at the following:
r. j. Henderson of Tennessee, had a timber
patch, near one of the Union camps in that state
The soldiers cut his trees down for fuel, and he
Inmates that they took 1000 cords of his wood He
sends IN his bill ami charges s. o cord for green
wood the soldiers having done their own cutting.
Here is his bill:
The United States to R. j. Henderson, Dr.
May l, 1866, TO 1000 cords of wood $17 400
This man Henderson Is relative of our
congressman I. j. Henderson-T. j. was
born in Tennessee and came froIu there to
this state. The claim is, no doubt, a
fraud, and if Tom Henderson is again
elected he will vote to pay his kinsman
this outrageous claim. Republicans who
don't want to see such claims as the one
Logan introduced, and the outrageous
Henderson cord wood claim paid. should
vote for Charles DInham for ongress

Durham for Congress.

Asis we'll known. we are not much
given to penning p ,iticas creeds believing,
as we do, that a county newspaper should
devote its energies toward giving gond
digest OF |. cal news aud other entertaining
and instructive reading for the family
Preside, leaving the much vexed political
issues of the time to the metropolitan
Ii ,urnals that make pelitics their stock 10
trade.
However, as matter of interest in the
district where our paper circulates, we
| wish TO present Hou. Charles Durham, OF
| Geneseo, as our candidate for cngress.
| He is a gentleman of whose ability it is
needless to speak He is one OF the most
successful lawyers in the state OF Illinois,
and his reputation as lawyer and public
man is by no means confined to this locality.
The Independent convention at Tiskiwa
nominated Austin Sykes. of Kewanee; but
We would say earnestly to all our Indepen-
dent friends that, although MIR. Sykes
may be good man, he does not stand a
ghost of show for election, and votes
cast for him will only be thrown away
The chief men of the Independent and
Greenback movement in this congressional
district are strongly i'll favor of Mr.. Dun
ham; among whom We may mention John
II. Bryant, of Princeton: Mercer, of the
Princeton Tribune; Mallett, candidate Ton
state board of equalization; j. j Heron,
Independent caEd'date tor state legislature
from Bureau aud Stark counties; Van
Epps, Independent candidate for state

Smith, Independent leader of Henry

Bureau county; Pinckney, chairman Of
Lee Democratic Central Committee,
strong ereenback man; and the Indepen
dent leader, jackson. of Anboy.
All these prominent gentlemen, we have
reason to believe. are strong in their en-
dorsemeHt Of Hon. Chas Durham. Lee

Knnsns White House.

One Of the curiositias Of West
ern Kansas, as we learn from the
Hays Kan. Sentinel, is tho vast
chalk beds OF that country. There
Is large house built of chalk bricks
at Trego, and Ii surpasses anything
in the building line we have ever
seen. The chalk IL sawed into bricks
smooth and regular, and the
whole structure has handsome
appearance. Mr.. John Henry, the
proprietor, informs US that he had
some OF the chalk analysed by a
chemist Of Chicago, with the follow
ing result: Ninety-eight per cent.
was pure chalk, one per cent. was
moisture, and one per cent. was
limestone. This for purity far ex-
ceeds the English chalk, which Is
now In general use. Mr.. Henry in
ferns us that In his vicinity there is
An immense supply Of it--enough TO
build large city. Undoubtedly
Western Kansas will become eele-
brated for i.s chalk productions.
