and thirty sixth sections, found to
be mineral lands, and secure to that
State the benefit of the act donating
public lands to the several States
and Territories, which may provide

ture.
Brown (IndIana), committee on
judiciary, reported back the bill
making it felony for a person to
falsely and fraudulently assume to
be an officer or employee acting un-
der the authority of the United
States. or any department. thereof.
The House went into committee
of the whole, Dorsheimer in the
chair, on the bonded extension bill 4.
Potter briefly gave the reasons
which impelled him to support the
measure. He urged that Congress
should not precipitate a financial
disturbance on the country, when
it was plain there was an open way
to avoid it.
Kelly argued in favor of abolish,
ing the entire internal revenue
system, which he said was for the
benefit Of whisky men, large to.
bacco and cigar manufacturers, and
brewers, maintaining IN army of
400, 900 officials to destroy the bust
ness of email fruit growers, and
manufacturers Of tobacco. Govern
ment did not need the revenue.
Long said he had changed his
mind since the introduction Of this
bill. He was now convinced there
was no discrimination against
whisky and that the passage of the
bill would create a discrimin alton in
it's favor.
Follett, Foran aud Jordan SUP.
ported the bill.
Hurd said it was not a question of
loaning money to distiliers. but of

FORTY-ElGHTH CONGRESS-
SENATE.

Washington, 25. Among the
memorials presented were several
protesting against the passage of
bills before the Senate relating to
patents, or any bills that may be
Injurious to the interests Of pat
entees.
Hoar called up the bill increasing
the salaries of United States dis
trict court judges to $1,000. The
pending question was an amend
ment making it unlawful for the
judges to appoint to q position in
his court any relative within the
degree of first cousin, and making it
misdemeanor for a judge to do SO.
The amendment was modified by
the omission of the clause specify
ing the offense as misdemeanOr,
and it was agreed to.
Coke said there had not for sew
eral y esrs been a United States
judge, save enc, in Texas, whose
nepotism had not become a scandal
and an outrage upon the people Of
the State.

The next order of business was

bills establishing a bureau OF statist

ployees and servants engaged in

States to contribute each annually
an amount equal to the amount sew
orally received by them from the
national fund. Harrison supported
the amendment and expressed him.
self strongly in favor OF the bill, but
agreed with the views expressed by
Allison that the logical way would
be to begin with small appropria-
tion.
Msxey opposed the bill on the
ground of expediency. He thought
every State could do better without
the artificial stimulus provided by
the bill.
Sherman regarded it as the
"bounden duty of the national gey-
eminent to aid in the education OF
the illiterate population. He did
not think the United States was
right to trust to the southern States
the importantsquestion growing ont
of the policy Of aid to education.
He believed it would not be wise to
besto v upon the southern States the
absolute power lover the education
contemplated, and the expenditure
leading to it. This, however, was
not from any feeling of injustice to-
ward the people of the south, but
from q conviction that owing to the
prejudices Of races and influences of
slavery which had darkened their
minds, and would probably continue
to darken them for some time to
come, they would not impartially

The live stock men In the southern part
Of Barber county are alarmed lest disease

ton, and accordingly on the 10Th ult., the
Cattle Growers association was formed ut

dent, A. j. Crewdson; vice-president, He.
Drumm; secretary, D.T. Flynn; treasur-
er, a. w. Rumsey; executive committee,
l.. Curtiss, II. G. Drumm and j.. +. Moore.
The following preamble and resolutions
were adopted:
WHEREAS, II has come TO the knowledge
Of this association that large numbers Of in
fictitious cattle have been shipped and driven
to various points along our border from
Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tonnes
see and other southern states, and threaten
to invade the state Of Kansas and the ell
closures Of the Cherokee Strip, thereby
threatening our herds with Texas, SplenIc
or Spanish Fever, and even humiliation;
and
WHEREAS, Ourselves and neighbors have
sustained heavy losses and the depletion Of
our herds.in the years past from similar
inyasions and disease in open violation Of
law and without any regard to property
rights, therefore be il
RESOLVED, That we sevcrally and col
lectiyely bind ourselves to protect our
rights and property against all unscruupu-
lous drovers Of infectious cattle from any
and all sources whatever. and while Mob
Law and violence is to be deplorcd, il some
times becomes necessary for the protection
of life AMI property and should such ncces-
sity occur we will not hesitate to act
promptly and in such manner that prop
erty rights will be respected in the future.
RESOLVED, That II shall be the duty of
the Inspector to inspectal western bound
herds and ascertain whether or not they
contain any infectious or suspicious cattle
and If possible to stop or turn such infec=
tious or suspicious herds and prevent them
from moving beyond the western boundary
of the quarantine grounds set apart for the
use and accommodation of through herds
by the Cherokee strip Live Stock associa-
ton, and in case Of his failure to stop or
turn such herds he shall immediately notify
the president or executive committee of the
fact together with all the information in
his possession relative to their movements
and destination, that this association may
have timely notice Of the approach of such
herds and be prepared to take such action
as they deem most expedient.
RESOLVED, That we solicit the organiza-
ton and cooperation Of other protectiveas-
sociations at Medicine Lodge, Anthony,
Caldwell and intervening points, and
pledge our support to the same.
RESOLVED, That vote of thanks be ten

tons be published In the Barber, Harper

Railroad Rumbilur,.

About once every three months Medicine
Lodge gets worked up over railroad boom
and just now IL happens to be the time
when every one Is worked up on this mo-
mentous question, and this time with more
reason than heretofore, perhaps. 1t is
known that the Fort Scott & Wichita road
has started out Of wichita. headed south
west. Harperand Anthony both claim to
be the objective point, for the present;
though II is generally believed that the road
Is endeavoring to get to the Territory line.
Seeing that II Is liable to be cut Off from
the Southwestern country unless it extends
its line from Harper west, the Southern
Kansas road has decided to make its extern
sion at once. 1t tas n line surveyed west
from Harper to Medicine Lodge, with n
branch road running south to the Territory
line, leaving the main road ten or twelve
miles west Of Harper.
Last week Mr.. Robinson, general super-
intehdeht Of the Santa IC road, Sir. Barnes.
general superintendent OF the Southern
Kansas road, and Mr.. Marvin, chief engin-
eer ofthc latter road, left Harper and wen;
over the proposed routc to the state line.
Inspected the country between here and
fKiowa, and came here last Saturday and
made careful examination OF this town
and suburbs, taking completes notes ami
making many inquiries.
Their visit IL, with reason, construed as
meaning that the road IS to come here ut
an early day. While they were careful to
make no promises, or directly say what
would be done, they left the impression that
Medicine Lodge would be a railroad town
In a few months.
Acting on what appears to be a good
show for a railroad, several parties in town
have been buying lots and other real estate,
and already values have been materially In
creased.
There Is belief fast gaining ground that
II one road comes here there will be two I;
that II the Southern Kansas road starts for
this point the Fort Scott & wichita road
will also come. And this Is not all, for n
party Of capitalists Is even now talking OF
a railroad from this place to Kingman, and
are now taking the preliminary steps to-
ward forming a stock company to carry ont
such an enterprise. But more Of this lat
ter project In the future.

The question Of whether the dinner should
be spread on one eommon table or whether
IL should be basket dinner was discussed,
and by unanimous vote decided that as far
as possible every one bring baskets, and
that those who cannot do 80 be taken care
and fed by those who do. 1t was agreed
that no one be allowed to go away hungry
under any circumstances.
1t was given out as the desire of the meet
Ing that an interesting programme for the
day and night be prepared, and while the
order Of exercises has not been entirely fix
cd, II may be stated that it will embrace the
following at least: Reading the Declaration
of Independence, appropriate addresses by
competent and interesting orators, vocal
aud instrumental music, including popular
and patriotic airs, foot races, sack races, po-
tato races, climbing CREASED poles, a large
platform dance during the afternoon and
night, and dozen other attractions. The
cornet band of this place will discourse
sweet mhsic at proper intervals, and alto
Setner splendid programme will be ar
ranged If possible liberal prizes will be
offered to secure an interest in the contests
of speed, science and endurance. As an
outside Issue it is likely that there will be
several contests of speed between local
high-hyers, and this will undoubtedly be
conducted In the most orderly manner.
The county roundup party will be near
here on that day, and If possible there will
be display Of the science of roping, tying
and branding wild untamed cattle at some
point convenient to the grounds, and liberal
prizes offered to the most expert horsemen.
This feature will be ofgreat interest to per
sons from the east who have never seen q
