his letter for his own sake. He says:

1t is announced that old Baker, OF

he wrote to the editors of the State

there was no responsibility attach

the old coon going there at his own

on and got the position when Gray
resigned. And the editors are re-

In Justice to the organization
called L.eavenworth Veteran Rifles,
we would say that the company
proper.was, we think, composed of
good men, as we conversed with
several and found them gentlemen,
as far as our acquaintance went,
both officers and men, but the camp
followers and tramps who were
sworn in to fill up their ranks, be-
ing largely composed of boys, were
totally unfit for the service for
which they were enlisted, and it is
to this element in the company that
the Rev. o. j. Shannon was sacEi-
feed. AS to where that responsible
ity belongs, we forbear to express
an opinion, but perhaps GOV. An
thony can explain.

Our Plymouth correspondent gives us
some news about the storm already pro-
cured by US elsewhere. In regard to his
own locality, he says:
Here, in Plymouth, we Jared much bet
ter, and yet there are but very few houses
but what are damaged more or less. 30
window lights were broken out OF Ed
ward McMillan's house, some Of the hail
stones coming in at the north side OF the
house, hitting on the floor and bounding
out through the window on the sou tn
side. Your correspondent measur ed one
near a half hour after 1t fell, which
measured seven and one-half inches in
circumference, aud we learn OF others
that measured eight inches. Some fruit
trees are blown down, and much Of the
little frui: and buds blown on, and yet
we think If nothing further happens it
we will have fair crop. Fall wheat
looks as though IL was quite badly dam
aged. The old settlers say they never
saw SO terrible q storm here before. G.
Weesner's horses got away from him
at Emporia on Saturday evening, did not
find them until next day. A. Weesner's
also got away from him while out after q
load OF stone on the high prairie. We
hav given you just few facts, leaving
out many little incidents as well as some
of much Importance, supposing you will
have other correspondents who will
write them up in better style.

Death OF a Notorious Man


VIM. NJ. Tweed, better known as
the "Boss," died in Ludlow street
Jail, New York, ON the 18th inst.
He was taken about q week previ-
GUS with a severe cold and pain in
the chest, which increased until his
death. The last words he spoke
were: 81 have tried to do some
good, If have not had good luck.
[ am not afraid to die. 1 believe
the guardian angels will protect
me-"
William Marcy Tweed was born
in New York April 3, 1923, and
thus. at the time of his death, was
fifty-five years of age. He learn
ed the trade OF chair-makIng, and
later in life was admitted to the
bar. In 1928 he was alderman
in 1885 q member of Congress
in 1856 supervisor of the city and
chairman Of the board; in 1867
school commissioner from 1861 to
1867 deputy street Commissioners,
and from 1867 to 1871 State Senator.
In April, 1870, Tweed was appoint
d commissioner of the department
of public works, and while he held
this Office the mammoth Tammany
ring frauds were committed. Tweed
was arrested on October %, 1871, in
civil suit and on charges of NAL
feasance, and gave bail in 81 zoo, 900.
In the following November the par
ty of his district reelected him to
the State Senate, but Tweed did not
dare to take his seat iu the then ex-
cited state of public feeling. De-
cember 18th of the same year he was
arrested on a criminal charge, and
furnished $1,000 bail. The first of
the suits against him was brought
to trial in snuary, 1873, and the ju-
ry disagreed. November 18th he
was found guilty on a charge OF
fraud, and was sentenced to twelve
years imprisonment in the peniten-
tiary, aud TO pay a fine of $12,550.
he was released by order of the
Court of Appeals, after an impris-
onment of fifteen months, but civil
suit to recover 100000 had been
previously brought against him,
and he was confined in Ludlow
street Jail in default of $6,0O0,00O
bail. His subsequent escape from
Jail and flight to Spain, and the
many efforts 10 secure his release
from Imprisonment, Sre familiar to
the public.
He was undoubtedly one of the
shrewdest partlsans of his time, and
his notion of politics was that the
end justified any means he saw iii
to adopt. He controlled the Dem
ocratic party in New York city
and State, aud exerted a large ln-
huence on it's national affairs. He
robbed the city of New York Of
tens of millions of dollars, very lit.
tie of which was recovered by the
suits against him. But it seems use
less to add word to the announce
ment of his death, because his Ca
reer and his crimes are so vel
known.
