Gen. Shields, who recently entered
the U. s. Senate from Missouri. few
days ago addressed the Senate, in ia
vor of bill granting pensions to the
soldiers of the Mexican war. The
Washington correspondent of the
Globe Democrat makes the following
reference to the scene In the Senate
and the speech, on that occasion:
The announcement that Gen. Jas.
Shields, the war-worn veteran of the
Mexican campaigns, would address
the Senate in favor Of pensions to the
survivors of that brilliant war, at
tracted an immense audience. The
galleries were not only packed, but
the floor of the hall and the adjacent
corridors were inaccessible for the
crowd. AS the old campaigner re-
viewed the hardships of their march
es and the climate,
SPOKE OF THE AMERICAN TROOPS
the smallest army that ever under
fortified country-and said that the
army in Mexico fought, in proportion
to the duration of the conflict, more
battles. against greater odds, than
any other known In history, never
witnessing a defeat, rounds of ap-
plause went up from floor and CALLER

age and inflrmity. was very difficult
to be heard. except when rising to the
enthusiasm of some incident OF battle

How to advertise is thus appropri-
ately answered by two or three bUis-
ness firms:
The Wheeler & Wilson Sewing
Machine Company says:
Twenty-Five years experience has
clearly demonstrated the superior ad-
vantages and economy of newspaper
advertising over all other mediums
offered for that purpose.
Messrs. Enrich & Co., one Of New
York's leading dry goods firms, says !:
Have what the public want. Sell
it with a moderate profit. Advertise
largely in a first-class newspaper, and
you are bound to do trade. Let the
newspapers be the best you can OBJ
tanned, no matter what 1t costs. 1t is
but natural that an advertiser must,
in a degree, share in and thereby gain
from the respect which reader enter
tains for an ably conduced journal.
Messrs. Isaac Smiths Sons & Co.,
the most extensive umbrella house
not only In New York, but in Ameri-
ca, makes this statement:
Ifwhst you have to say be strictly
true. say IL in o good newspaper. Its
readers are intelligent will appreciate
q bargain, aud of every such customer
you make an advertiser. For forty
seven years nine-tenths of our adver-
tising has been done on this plan, and
of the aChole expenditure, all that we
regret is the comparative waste OF the
other tenth.

cans. The reason we attribute for the
democrats voting nearly solid for the
measure, is that the bulk OF Mexican
soldiers reside in the South; and for
this reason Mexican war veterans
may have a pretty strong hope that
the Shields amendment will be agreed
to by the House. We think, howev-
er, they need have no hope for this at
this session Of Congress. as the time
for its expiration was so near at hand
that the enemies of the bill could
easily defeat or postpone it. As there
are a number of old Mexican soldiers
amongst our readers, and in this vi
cinity. it may be interesting to them
to know how Nebraska's Senators
voted on the proposition to pension
them. Senator Paddock is recorded
against the amendment but voted for
the passage of the bill. Senator
Saunders voted for both the amend
ment and the bill.

The new silver and gold excitement
at Leadville, Col, is causing quite a
rush from the East to that place. AS
is usual thousands will be destined to
meet with sad disappointment. The
Denver Tribune, referring to this mat
ter says:
The streets are filled with men
anxious to obtain employment, food,
and lodging, and they can find neith-
er. Food is plenty, but these persons
have no means to purchase. 1t is the
duty of every newspaper in Colorado
to warn moneyless people from going

demand il. All the land around

out and prospected, and man with
out money has no opportunity of find

grand jury found indictments against
eleven of the mob that put to death,
by lynch law, Mitchell and Ketchum.
Those of them who are in the hands
of the law, are, Ira P. Olive, Brown,
Pedro Dominicus, Baldwin, Barney
Gillian, Phil Dufrend, Gertel, Green.
The others have not yet been caught.
The indictments were for the murder
of Luther Mitchell. If any are sem
fenced to suffer the extreme penalty
of the law, of course 1t will be unnec-
essary to try them for the mu rider of
Ketchum.
The Indictment has, six counts,
stated as follows:
First. Shooting with a Winchester
rifle In the right side.
Second. Shooting with a Winchest-
er rifle in the left side.
Third. Strangling by means of
rope.
Fourth. Breaking the neck by
means of rope.
Fifth. Burning with fire.
Sixth. Producing death by means
of instruments to the jury unknown.
The last count is intended to cover
any possible theory as to Mitchell's
death which.may be produced.
The following is the array Of legal
gentlemen, engaged in the cases:
For the prosecution there are Dis
