that he had Just returned from Dayton, Ohio.
where he. with Messrs. Geo. 7. Anthony, c.
W. Blair. ). u. Underwood, W. b. Sho ok
lev. j. T. johnson, and Geo Il. Peck, had
been rs representatives of the state of Hans
as to present her advantages as location
for the new Soldiers Home.
Upon being asked what, in his opinion,
would he the result of the meeting, he said:
"The committee believe that they present
ed advantages for Soldiers Home in HANS
as superior to any of the contesting states.
believe they were fully appreciated by the
Board and am, therefore of the opinion that
the Home will be located in this state
How did the delegations from other
states compare with that from kansas was
asked.
Iowa was very large, numbering fifty, en-
bracing Gov. Grcary and some portion OF
the Congressional delegation. The delega-
ton from Nebraska was also large, and in
Guided Senator Henderson, who, with my
self, were invited TO accompany the Board TO
Milwaukee. and also TO the sites, which will
be examined before the location of the new
home is decided upon

gagements at home"

"Some time this week" answered Mr.. Rv-
an. land | think either "Wednesday or
Thursday. Capt. Johnson and l extended
an invitata,ion to the members to visit our
own city. and | think they will do sd.
Ii they should accept, they should be hos
pitably entertained by the city. They are
men of distinction, who won their laurels in
the war. and are deserving of whatever
compliment might be bestowed upon them. =
The interview ended at this point. The
suggestion Is one which we hope will be
adopted by the city council at once.
Seeing Capt. }. b. johnson later. our
reporter alsc had a talk with him about the
visit TO Columbus. He said that the l9th
(Friday) was IA grand day at the Soldiers
home. That was the day when the board
heard what all these committees bad Ia say
for their respective states. The meeting was
held in great big, fine opera house and
lasted all day. The house was packed full
of old soldiers. who sat as interested speeta-
lors and listeners. Gen. Blair. Mr.. RYAN

A LETTER..

Ma rthcney of this city, who is travelling in

David O'Shea, Topeka, Kan:
DEAR SIR: Your postal card of the 10th
inst. followed me here. Am sorry / cannot
be with YOU on the 23rd, as | am anxious to
aid in the elevation of a man with brains to
the chief cxecutiveship of these United
States as against mediocrity and a monopo-
list. an opposed to legislating in the in
terest of English merchants and manufac
tories. In fact | have never entertained the
idea that an English monopolist was by
nature or otherwise better than those OF
the United States, hence object to free
trade.
In travelling from town to town and care
fully feeling the pulsations of the people,
find general and gradual Improvement.
The disaBectes Republicans are seeing that
their best interest is back within that fold,
while many Democrats see the suicidal
policy of the Democracy, is giving to the
English merchant and manufacturer solid
aid and comfort, while at the same time our
consumers, our merchants and our manu-
facturers are damned.
meet scores of Irish voters who have
heretofore voted the Democratic ticket, that
are outspoken and warmly support NJ
Blaine aud Logan.
One Irishmen. while speaking of the pri-
waite lives of Mr.. Blaine and Cleveland re-
marked that he thought infinitely mere of II
man who would marry the same woman

than he did of "A young bachelor of forty
who would promise to marry woman, get
her child, steal il from the bosom Of lis
mother and clandestinely place her in the
walls of an insane asylum i'll order to cover
his own crime, 50 he might go unpublished

ALL A LIE.

A great sensational story was published
few days ago as an interview in the st. Louis
Republican, which was nothing more than a
revamped effort of story long ago explod-
ed, to the effect that the notorious Bender
family had all been killed on the border of
the Indian Territory few days after the
bodies of their victims were discovered. The
old story, which was thoroughly exploded,
used tina name of Governor Thomas Osborn
as reference The EAGLE pronounced the
whole thing lie then. Afterwards we
asked Governor Osborn if there was any
thing in it SO far as he knew. He said there
was not word of truth in it, and that no
doubt the Blenders all escaped to Germany.
The St. Louis Republicans article was sent
BY Governor Click to A. NJ. York, Il brother
to one of the Bender victims, and he makos
the following answer. which appears in yes
tcrday's Commonwealth:
Dies MONIES, IA, September Is.
Govern or George W Click, Topeka. Kans
DEAR SlE-Yours Of the 18th, inst, con-
tanning an article published in the st. Louis
Republican, just received, and in reply
would say the article is pnre fabrication,
without even the semblance Of a foundation,
in fact ! had seen the article before receiving
your letter. Ny brother j. II. York, of IT.
Scott, was visiting me here when the article
appeared, and we determined to take prompt
measures to trace the authorship and respon-
siblitv of the article and we will make in
quiries for the purpose Of ascertaining
whether such a person as Captain Rivers
lives in Appleton, No.. and if SO will call up
on him and request proof of his statements.
We will give $1,000 for proof that the Ben
ders were killed, and with such proof
be believe we can trace their
connection with others. In my
opinion statements such as the one in hand
have been put in circulation from time to
time to prevent continuance of the search,
and it is quite remarkable that these state
ments that the Blenders We're killed are re-
vived simultaneously with some positive
movement tending to their recovery.
Whether there is connection between the
two cannot say, but it is remarkable CO.
incidence. Otherwise my brother viii place
the matter in the hands of our attorney. }.
| -. McChevarty of Fort Scott, and he will
no doubt have occasion TO communicate
with YOU. Very truly. a. NJ. York.

district. For that position a majority OF tho
delegates nominated Mr.. l.. 4. Wilson, OF
Lincoln township. Although he has been
a long time reader Of this paper and We
knew him and of him 10 some extent. Vel
We knew little personally of his business ex-
perience and qualifications. \ careful en-
quiry into these matters Is rewarded with
the most gratifying results. He is not only
sound, very sound, politically, sound and
very sound asa nei ghbor and citizen. but
hewill come to the office equipped with just
that experience which is SO valuable in the
transaction of the bus iness of the county,
just those qualifications which caused the
business men Of this city to persuade A. W.
Oliver TO accept a place on that board. We
believe. but are not certain. that Mr.. Wilson
is an Ohioan. He was a resident of Illinois
however for years. and was the station agent
and express agent and postmaster at Tonica
for thirteen years, when he resigned
his position 10 come To Sedg-
wick county, Kansas. 10 farm

at present trustee of hi, townsh ip and the ne
turns he made of the property and assessed
values of that township show as an account
ant and systematic book-kecper he has few
equals in this or any other county. One
county officer remarked TO us that l.. &
Wilson'S returns were the most complete,
scrupulousiy neat and correct of any
township returns he had ever seen. OF
course the Republican party Of tic county
was lucky in securing such man for the
board of commissioners. Mr.. Wilson not
being politically ambitious ANA having no
political complications he will come into his
Office unembarressed and ready to act only
for the best interests of the tax payers with
out regard to party or favoritism. So far as
we can hear there has not been even criti-
cism of his nomination from the Democrats
of his district. That he will be elected there
seems ne doubt and that he viii make =
splendid commissioner seems equally GER
tain.

AND YET WE WONDER, ETC

Ever since congress created the new "Bu-
reau of Animal Industry" with a ,gcll-paid
commissioner, there has been wonderful
increase Of alarming cattle diseases all over
the country. The new commissioner and
his staff are evidently bound to magnify
their "oiiice." Every sick COW, steer OF
horse they can find or hear Of has terrible
disease that ought Ia send thrill of terror
into the entire livestock interest of the
country. The next thing they win do will
be to ask congress for huge appropriation
to pay them for their industrious efforts To
humhug the public.-Leayenworth Times
