Military History OF Kansas.

Nv a. tAll 0O1l,IN 10 II
deavoring to collect materials of the
military history aud biography of Kan
sas. The object is, to save such ma
terials from being lost; and in order that
they may be used by the future historian
in the preparation of n correct military
history of Kansas-of the history of its
regiments; of the separate companies
composing its regiments; of neighbor-
hood bands of recruits. and of bio
graphical sketches, as far rs may be,
of individual officers and %privates. 1t
is desired no only ia. collect the history
of the soldiers who were citizens at the
time of the war, but also of those citi-
zens of Kansas who have become such
since the war. All alike are Interested
in saving, for the instruction of future
generations, Il record of the history of
the war, in all its details.
The soldiers in Kansas are requested
by the Society to bring into its collec-
tons for preservation, whatever materi-
ais of the history of the war they may
be able to contribute. AT this time of
soldiers reunions and of the general
revival of interest IN respect to war
history, this appeal is appropriate.
Soldiers are asked by the Society TO put
in writing their recollcctions of the
war-narratives of their personal ex-
periences, biographical sketches of sol
diers who died in the service or have
since died, accounts of marches, cam
paigns, and of battles, and anecdotes
and incidents illustrative of army life
and experience. Manuscript papers
letters from the army written by sol
diers, diaries and journals kept by them
these are especially desired. War
newspapers, pamphlets. pictures, songs,
badges-everything printed relating to
the war. War relies of every kind are
desired. The collections of the State
Historical Society are being made up
for the state; they are the property of
the state, and are carefully kept in the
rooms ofthe Society in the State House.
A museum of historical relics is being
formed. for the instruction of the pub
lie; and an ample library of books,
pamphlets and manuscript is being
gathered, for the use of the public, and
to give the historian correct data and
ample materials. The war history of
Kansas has as yet been very meagerly
written. Its materials are rapidly be-
ing lost, through the accidents of time.
The effort of the Historical Society to
save them should be responded to by
every one who can in the least aid iii
this work. The society will give di-
rectly to the newspapers of the state,
for immediate publication, many of the
papers contributed. Others will be
; filed forfeiture use. Writers of sketches
can, if preferred, procure their publ
cation in the local newspapers, send
ing copies of the papers containing
: them to +. G. Adams, Secretary of the
5 Society, Topeka, to be %catalogued with
? the collections. The Society has pub
lished a circular on this subject, which
> will be mailed to any one who will ap
I ply to the Secretary for it, to whom
: communications should be addressed

"now I Lay Ma Down 10 Sleep

When fades the last faint ray
OF the rosy tinted day.
There gently steals solemn thrill
Through the evening air so still,
Az from each hearthstone, far or near
Rise the voices OF children clear,
As in their perfect trust they say,
While from their noisy sports they
stray,
And twinkiing stars in wonder peep;
Now lay me down to sleep"
Not alone for childhood fair
Il meant the simple prayer;
But even TO manly strength prime
Shall come at last needful time,
When mid life's battles sudden gloom,
lie hears the nearer step of doom,
And though strong with Samson's
power,
He knows the coming of TINT hour,
And repeats In tones more deep;
II pray the Lori my soul to keep"
Whom the form that now 80 proud
Shall with aye be lowly bowed;
When the hair. now black as night,
Shall with winter SHOWS be white;
When the head slow time Is keeping
To the eyes with sorrow weeping,
And vainly tries to call the past,
Slipping from its grasp ut last
Then family from the lips shall break;
III I should die before | wake"
Not for a little childish dream
Should be told this simple theme;
Not alone for quiet and calm,
But the bivouac and fierce alarm;
When dangers round about us swell,
And when peace and plenty dwell,
From age and youth and inanhood's S
prime,
At life's closing evening time.
In accents soft and low should break;
IL pray Thee, Lord, my soul to take"

A YEAR ago the GLOBE advised the peo-
pie of Dakota not to bite off more than
they could chew. The GLOBE told them
Nat if they insisted upon dividing the terri
tory and the admission of Southern Da-
kato as state they would fail in both. The
prediction was fully verified. That expe-
rience ought to have taught them
something, but it is doubtful
whether it did. They seem
to be coming up this winter again with the
same propositions interlinked. There is nc
question relative to the necessity of the ter.
ritory being divided, and if the people will
ask that alone, they will secure it. The
following year the southern half may gain
admission. 1t will be surprising feat il
a new state is made out of Dakota Terri
tory by the present Congress.

ABOUT the most absurd project we have
seen mooted in long time is that of an
elevated railroad on State street, Chicago
The idea must be born of the desire to i'm
itate New York instead of necessity. Chi
cago is fine town but it is not New
York OF London at present. Her streets
are regular and of good width, sufficiently
so that surface cars can run readily with
out being blocked by traffic. When Chi
cage has two million people she will not
need an elevated road as much as New
York does to-day.
