tidns and plans for the round-ups. It's
good old-fashioned reading, and it has
not been q year since We filed our
columns with just such news, and which
in the future, as far as the local interest
is concerned, will have to give place to
the small herds in the aggregate. There
is hardly day but what q few head OF
fine COWS are unloaded at this station for
some Of the many farmers who will raise
improved stock.
From the continued kick of the buy
ers and beef handlers in the east, we be-
gin to think that the custom Of shipping
all the good beeves to market, and keep
ing all the good ones, the old COWS, stays
and bulls, for home consumption had
been changed, and then people in small
places now speak Of getting excellent
beef. There is nothing that adds more
to meal than good beef, and there is
nothing that comes as near spelling a
meal as poor, tough beef, and here we
can add our own city is blessed with the
very choicest beef there is in the coun-
try.

late court of commissioners of the Alabama
claims. Mr.. Bennett, of South Carolina,
from the committee on the judiciary, re-

by similar explanation by Mr.. O'Neill, of
Missouri, all briL ging in remark attrib-

that the labor troubles should be settled by
warmth that he had even made any
such statement and during the course
of his remarks said that Mr.. Crane,
of Texas, and not O'NeiE was
the author of the arbitration bill. Mr..
O'Neill replied that ever since he has been
chairman of the committee on labor he had
been fretted and worried by the sore-headed
the arbitration was that his (Mr. O'Neill's)
name was connected with it. If it had been

GRAND ARMY AFFAIRS.

Wellington Standards: A handsome
Post Judge Advocate badge was pre-
sented to Hon. William A. Mcdonald of
this city, by James Shields Post No. IS,
G. A. r. at recent meeting for his val
liable services in behalf of the organiza-
ton in this state. It was made in Chi
cage and is valued at $65. It is most
artistic piece of work and is made of sol
id gold. On top is an eagle, cannon and
pile of shot. The cardinal band is cross
ed by the shoulder strap of a colonel,
which was Mr.. McDonald's rank in the
army, and below is the G. A. r. star.
On the back of this is engraved emblems
of the Uuion army.
Jewell City Republican: The pen
sion claim of Edgar E. Keller was al
lowed last week. He receives $5S a
year from 1883 and Sc per month here
after. Keller was among the first to go
in and the last to come out of the war.
He lost his hearing and completely
wrecked his health in the service. After
so great sacrifice the pittance allowed
him brings with it such sense of injury
as to make it seem more like a taunt
from the enemy than an expression OF
gratitude from his country. Compare
$S4 year with the $75 per month which
the present commissioner of pensions re-
ceived for his disabilities.
Mcpherson Freeman: The meeting
of the ladies of the Ladies Relief Corps,
with the post of the G. A. R., the other
evening, was very pleasant affair. At
ter opening exercises several army remi-
niscences were related by the different
members. A presentation of ''army rel
les" followed in the way of a tin cup
given to each person present. Jas. Nc
Kenzie received the cup for the youngest
soldier present, and d. r. Holsington
for the oldest. The ladies add immensely
to the interest of such meetings.
Cook post Of the Grand Army at lola,
Allen county, have for 81 $50 purchased
the second story of a building in that
city which they will in the future use as
an armory. An additional $500 has
been spent in fixing it up.

Bailey and Mr.. T. B. Barry, members of the
general executive board of the Knights of
Labor, met the congressional committee in

result OF the Knights of Labor declaring the
strike OF, which is fully explained in the fol-
lowing correspondence which took place:
To the General Eaecutire Board ofthe Knights
of Labor Of America:
The testimony taken to-day by the con-
gressional investigating committee shows
concluslvely that very serious losses to the
commercial, agricultural and other interests
OF the entire country have resulted from the
roads belonging to the southwest system
and other railroads in the states of Illinois,
Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas and Texas,
and that by reason of said troubles
directly connected Herewith have
been thrown out of employment. Unwill-
ing at this time to express any opinion in
regard to the causes which produced this Ia
mentable condition of affairs. or indicate
where the blame lies for it's continuance and
animated solely by desire to render all the
assistance In our power in the endeavor to
restore peace, individual happiness and COM
mercial prosperity to the citizens of tho
country, and particularly to the five states
above named, we do hereby respectfully, but
earnestly, request you as American citizens,
having the welfare of our common country
at heart, to advise, through the proper Of
fetal channels, a discontinuance of the
strike upon the railways mentioned, and
leave the question whether the employees or
the officers of the corporation were justif-
able to the decision that the public may form
when the congressional committee, which
has that matter under investigation, shall
have completed its work. Feeling that a
compliance of the request will merit for
your board and for those who may act in
conformity with your counsel, tho approba-

The town of Dedham, in the State of
Massachusetts, celebrated its two hundred
and fftieth anniversary on Tuesday. Gov
ernor Robinson was one of the after
dinner speakers. He took occasion to
give to the people Of Dedham a little lecture
which might be given with equal propriety
TO the people of many other towns in Massa-
chusetts and New England. Dedham has
on her voting lists fifteen hundred names.
but only seven hundred and sixty-one votes
were thrown at the last election. 'If some
foreign potentate," says Governor Robinson,
''should issue proclamation declaring that
on and after Oct. 1, next no man in the town
of Dedham should have the right to cast his
vote or to attend the town meeting. every
man would be as valiant and as ready for
sacrifice as the grand old heroes of the past
were; every man would stand at the corners
Of the streets with his musket. ready to meet
the power that sought to put in force that
infamous proclamation. And yet there are
men IN the town Of Dedham that slothfully
lay down their privileges every year and let
them go into the dust, as if they
were not worth the sacrifice of the
past or the enjoyment of the present."
Every town may not have SO large a per
centage of examples of bad citizenship as
Dedham, and Gov. Robinson's frank criti-
cism may elsewhere lose some of the effect
which it must have had when delivered to
the delinquents themselves But the moral

where in the land; it is as old as our form of
government, but perhaps more pertinent
now than ever 81 hear from time to time a
good deal said about how this Republic of
ours and how our State is to go to ruin; that
it is to go down through the path of luxury,
maybe; that it will go down to destruction
in one or other of many different ways; but
l tell you, no such thing. If it will go down
at all, it will go down over men that have
became eorpses before there was any strug-
gle at all. If it goes down, it will be because
our people will talk Of the greatness Of the
town system, will cxtol the record of the
past, viii boast of their Puritan ancestry,
and will elevate themselves in the estimation
of the world, but win not do one single thing
to interrupt their leisure, or to go aside from
their cares or their pleasures to keep in pow
the principles that the grand old Puritans
established"

Among President Clevelands companions
in the Adirondacks was Colonel Belo, pro-
prietor Of the Galveston News. Either the
habits of Texas news gatherer are very
firmly seated with the gallant Colonel, or
Mr.. Cleveland is a wonderful hunter, and
Mrs. Cleveland a remarkable huntress.
President Cleveland is veritable Nimrod,
and never missed shot," says the enthusi-
siastic Texan. He is just as cool and de-
liberate when a big deer comes bounding
towards him as if he were troll
ling for bass" Mr.. Cleveland is
also most successful fisherman,
we are told; and that is not
hard to believe when it is remem-
bered that luck and stolidity are
essential elements of success in fishing.
But Mrs. Cleyeland's success with the hook
most moves the gallant Texan. She ''has
knack of trolling for pickerel that is simply
artistic. She is not afraid of the finny tribe
and pulls them in with the experience of
veteran" But Mr.. Cleveland's abilities are
not only those Of Nimrod. He is a great
tramper. He astonished the Colonel several
times by walking at least five miles day."
Strangest of all, these tremendous physical
exertions not in the least harmed the Chief
Magistrate, and he comes out of the woods
feeling "as fine as high stepping buck" 1t
is clear that the President is very great
man in the woods, or that the Texan editor
wants an Office very much.
