Junction City Union: James Woods,
q well-known old resident OF Junction
City, died on the 18th inst at the Sold
ler's Home at Leavenworth, aged eighty
three years. His remains were brought
here and buried in st. Msry's Cemetery,
by the Grand Army and q number Of
soldiers from Riley under charge of
Sergeant Madison. He had a good re-
cord as soldier IN the late war for the
Union, and in the Florida war against
the Seminoles.
Osawkie Sentinel: Mr.. Travis Moore.
OF this city, received notice yesterday
that his pension had been allowed, and
that he would receive back pay to the
amount of S1,129.07, with a pension
hereafter of $6 per month. This is joy
full news to himself and family,
as well as his friend, for his
circumstances are such that it will
be OF great benefit. Hon. B. w. Per-
kins secured the pension for him, which
is another proof Of his fidelity and friend
ship to the old soldier.
Lesvenworth Times: Capt. John 81.
Smith, warden of the penitentiary, has
returned from visit to Atlanta, Georgia,
where he went as a delegate to the Ma
tional Prison congress. He reports hav-
ing had an excellent time, and that the
citizens of that southern city did much
toward making the stay Of the delegates
pleasant. While journeying about the
south, he visited the battle field Of Mis-
sionsry Ridge. During the engagement
on November %, 1868, Capt. Smith,
while leading his troops to an assault
upon the enemy, was severely wounded.
1t was pleasure to him to be able to
locate the place where he fell, after .
laps of twenty-three years, and what
made it more so, was that beautiful
evergreen tree had sprang up at that
point-a fitting monument, as it we're, to
spot that seemed the very jaws of hell
on that memorable day in '6S. The cap
tain secured it and it is now transplanted
at Lansing, where it is hoped that it
will still grow and flourish and to which
his children can point with just pride, as
having come from q spot where their
father did so much to aid in the preser-
vation of the union. Capt. Smith was
a gallant soldier, and among the men
who deserved many of the good things
of this life. There are none that should
be more favored than he.

WHOLESALE HAVOC
Loss of Shipping on the Las es.

CHICAGO, Ill, November 2O.-The follow
ing are the vessels lost during the storm
Wednesday and Thursday, corrected up to
midnight. Many vessels mentioned will
unquestionably be rescued, but the wreck
ing expenses at this season of the year will
be necessarily heavy: Dickinson, Emerald,

wathe, Queen of the Lakes, Dauntiess. The
total loss is 1924, 1909. The number of lives
lost is thirty seven. A dispatch from Man.
istee, Michigan, asserts that soon after los
ing her consorts during the storm the ''Man-
istique" became disabled and drifted help
lessly up the lake until she reached Burn
hams pier, twenty miles north of Manistee,
when she struck and sunk with all hands.
The "Manistique" was commanded by Gap
tain Waite Ashley, and carried a crew OF
fifteen men. If this report he true, the
number of lives lost by the sinking of the
"Manistique" and her cOnsorts is swel!ed to
fifty.

Stockton Netcs: The price of cattle
is ranging lower in Rocks county than
ever before. A good cow will scarcely
bring over $50, and last spring calves
from Sc to SO. As hay and fodder are
plentiful, we would advise persons own
ing cattle to keep them through winter;
before another winter we venture to pre-
dict. that they will bring a better price.
Hslstead Independent: Mr.. Alfred
Allen, living about four miles north of
this city, constructed log granary and
wagon shed from trees raised on his own
farm and planted by himself. Mr.. Allen
is one of the oldest settlers of this coun-
ty. Seven or eight of his neighbors
assisted him in raising the building, and
after the work was completed the old
gentleman walked in amongst them with
wel-flled jug and bid each one of
them to partake freely. It is needless
to say in the community, where Mr.
Allen is so well known, that the jug con-
tained water only.
Jewell County Monitor: A queer
specimen of live stuck is now in the pos
session of Master Fred, Warren, J. G.'s
youngest son. 1t is specimen of the
animal commonly known as the swift
which is we believe indigenous to west
ern Kansas. A glance shows it to be a
member Of the fox family. The long
bushy tail, the sharp nose, erect ears and
build of body are essentially foxy. 1t is
grayish in color end hardly equal to a
cat in size. We believe the swift has
thus far escaped naturalists as We have
never seen nor heard o: any description
Of it in any natural history although
the animal is by no means rare in the
west.
Dodge City Times: Western Kansas
deserves the honor of maintain
ing the credit of our state on the
crop question this year. All reports go
to show that the crops in the eastern half
of the state were more seriously affected
by the dry hot weather than in the west
ern half, and fell far below the average;
while our part of the state, though con
siderably affected by drouth, brought up
the report to the average for Kansas,
which compares favorablv with the re-
ports from other states. No wonder
western Kansas is becoming the asylum
of immigrants in search of desirable
homes.

KANSAS CRY, Mo-, Nov. 23.-[S Special. "A
delegation of fugitives from Kansas, who
have climbed out to evade the operation of
the Kansas prohibition law, arrived from
Lawrence this morning. From present in
dicstions they will have to stay away year
if the judge whose jurisdiction they seek to
evade perseveres in his intention to have
them all in court as witnesses. The delegs-
ton consists of twenty-five men, including
several of the leading citizens of Lawrence,
who have been subpRnaed to appear before
the district court and testify in several liquor
cases which come up before the court at this
term.
Every liquor dealer in the town has been
arrested, and in some cases their wives and
children as well. ''Doc' Smith, veterinary
surgeon who opened a Kansas drug store
about six weeks ago, is under arrest for
selling whisky, and one of his boDdsmen-
Mr.. Mitchell-is with the crowd of Kansas
exiles who have fed to avoid testifying
against the liquor dealers. The Judge swears
he will keep open court for year unless he
can get these witnesses under his jurisdic-
oiction before that time, and the Kansas
exiles swear they will stay here and indulge
in Missouri tanglefoot until court adjourns.
Among those who are with the Kansas exiles
are Jonn Donnelly, Frank Willard, Will
Duncan, and 0thers well known in Kansas
City.
