steamboat, railroad nor telegraph; the Span
ISL possessions in America spread on both
sides Of the equator far into the temperate
zone, over so dogs. Of latitude, and
American statesmen feared that Kentucky
was too far from the seat of government to
be held in the federation; Indiana contained
but 5000 white people and Illinois as many
hundreds; the United States was paying tri-
butte to pirates in Africa, France was in the
agonies of Transformation from the first
republic to the first empire, there was no such
nation as Germany, no such kingdom as
Italy, and no other republic on the continent
than this Great Britain still upheld the
slave trade, and America had no native
literature save few minor productions.
Sixty-four years ago Bancroft published his
first book, "Politics Of Ancient Greece" end
avowed himself an advocate of universal
suffrage and uncompromising democracy.
At the same time he began work on his great
history and the first volume appeared in
1884 He was collector Of the port Of Boston
under President Van Buren,, secretary of the
navy under President Polk, minister to Rus

under President Grant. He founded the Naval
Academy at Annapolis and issued the order
under which the navy took possession of Cali

is diversified by long walks and daring horse
back rides. Such a life gives assurance that

What Becomes of Old BARRIERS.

81 never sec an old barber, and what be-
comes of them air. A customer in a Third
avenue barber shop spake thus the other day
to the artist who was lathering him. Keep
beer shops" replied the barber, as he grasped
his hone. "You see man gets played out
in this business, and you can't see ten gray
haired men behind the chairs in all the bar
Der shops in New York There's an ex-barber
keeps the place on the corner across where
you see the foaming mug, and lots Of them
are doing the same thing. A mans hand gets
shaky like in this business before his hair
turns gray. Sometimes it's from drink, but
oftener it's from the nervousness that catches
on to man by working in such little shops
days and nights and half O. Sundays. 1t
looks tine to SEQ us sitting round, but that
isn't all our work. A barber naturally sets
up beer shop when he's knocked out, for
BARRIERS get to be sociable with their Gus
toners, and that's the kind of training for a
beer shop keeper There's one gray haired
barber working down town, and that's the
only one ever saw in New York. Bay rum

Waldrop was constable at the time and he

ing hard secured a conviction. Davis was
sentenced to seven years in the penitenti-
airy. and when sentence was pronounced
he turned to Waldrop and said: II swear
to God If 1 ever live to get out I'll kill
you"
No attention was paid to the threat and
Davis was conveyed to Chester where he
served his term and was released last week
Saturday he returned to Litchfield Yes
terday he called at Waldrop's residence
and asked to see Waldrop.
He stepped to the door.

Dakota, Iowa and the northern portions
of Indiana Illinois and Missouri the ave-
rage daily temperature has been from five
to six degrees lower than usual. In all
other sections the temperature is lower
than usual excepting from East Tennessee
southwark to the gulf coast. During the
current week in the southern portion of the
winter wheat regions and in the Ohio val
ley and southern states east of the Missis-
sippi, the seasonaDle deficiency in temper
allure previously reported has been de-
creased.

TIFTIEIrH CONGRESS.
SENATE.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The house hav-
ing sent over an original bill to give pen
sion of 81, 90 to widow of General John A.
precisely the same terms, the house bill
was, on motion of Davis, passed.
Mr.. Stewart moved to recommit with in
structions to the committee to report with
out delay a separate bill allowing the
owners of gold or silver bullion to deposit
the same and receive coin certificates
therefor.
Mr.. Sherman opposed the motion, say
ing that it WAS very unusual to instruct a
committee to report a proposition then
submitted for the first time. There is no
objection to the passage of The bond pur-
chase bill, and he thought that as ques-
ton of practical legislation that bill
should be passed at once, if it was the de-
sire of the senate to have all the difficult
problems of finance which had been dis
cussed for the last twenty-siX years taken
up and considered That was one thing
If SO let it be So But that was ne reason
why there should be any delay in the pas
sage of bill on totally different subject
He was therefore opposed to the instruc-
tions asked and he was also opposed to the
reccommittal of the bill.
Mr.. Mcpherson said that the proposition
of Mr.. Stewart meant the free coinage of
silver and nothing else.
Mr. Reagan suggested as an amendment
that S1OO, 100000 of the gold coin now in
the treasury shall he used for
the redemption of the interest bearing
bonds of the country. He declared
that the policy of the government both in
the executive and Legislative department
had been in 1869 in the interest of the
money-lords of this country and Of Europe.
He knew that the present administration
had taken up and maintained the policy of
its Republican predecessors. But he pro-
posed SO far as his own action was con-
cerned, without reference to what Others
in the Democratic party-even in high
places-should do, to stand by the interests
of the people, to insist on their rights and
to insist that the government shall be con-
Quoted in the interests of the people instead
of the interests of special classes who lived
by robbing both the government and the
people.
Mr. Blair inquired what members of the
Democratic party Mr. Reagan referred to
as not representing the interests Of the
people. but Mr.. Reagan preferred to let
the senator from New Hampshire form his
own Judgment.
After some further discussion Mr..
Stewart withdrew his amendment.
Without action the senate went into ex-
ecutive session and soon adjourned.

STAFFORD, Kan, April 2.-Stafford
city still sits serenely amid her broad acres

ty. Her two main lines of railroad, the
Missouri Pacific and Santa Fe, together
with her flattering prospects for the county
seat in the very near future, combine to
place her without rival west of Wichita

ties who will put in the first Touring mill
None nearer than thirty-fiv miles, and
located in the very heart of as fine wheat
and corn belt as there is in Kansas. Par
ties interested in the milling business
should correspond with the secretary of
our board of trade. The wheat prospects
in our county promises a very fine yield,
and the acreage of cultivated land will
almost double any previous year in the
history of our county, extending over a
period of over ten years. Farmers all
over the county are taking advantage of
the recent heavy rains, and are breaking
and stirring all the ground they possibly
can. Stock of all kinds is in fine con-

FORTRESS OF THE NEvA.

A Russian Prison from Which Meme Are
Permitted to Return.
The fortress up the Neva is terrible
prison, where offenders against the govern
ment are given a court martial and pun
ished None are known to be acquitted, so
that no tales come from the place. When a
man or woman goes to the fortress be or she
is never heard of more. A subject is sent to
Siberia in exile or is shot in the pen like a
pig In any event trip there is journey
to death.
The fortress is on little island and can
only be reached by a boat. None but officers
OF the empire, with special permission to do
so, are allowed to approach it. A number
OF strangers, out fishing or rowing, and not
knowing what the fortress was, have lost
their lives in attempting to land there. On
the walls surrounding it are ever sentinels-
guards who have instructions to shoot down
without question or warning all who ap.
proach without authority. When the nature
of the place is known and the uses of it I'M
derstood, the purposes of this arsenal are
seen. All suspects-every one known to be
plotting or working against the crown. or
any Of the imperial subjects-are taken here
for examination and execution, and so many
are never heard of who are taken here that
efforts are continually made to destroy the
fortress or rescue some one in 1t; and since
those who are taken to it are, in the eyes Of
the car, the rankest criminals, great efforts
must be put forth to keep intruders away.
1t is said the waters about it are often Grim
son with human blood
From the fortress thousands of human souls
have taken flight every year since it was con-
structed, and tens of thousands of sentences
have been pronounced against exiles, or those
who are destined to exile. 1t is a sober look
ing structure, and sunk half way into the
water. Originally it was intended as q de-
Tense in war, but now it is the scene of the
expiation Of crime against the crown. There
is no crime punishable by death, except
against the crown. A man may murder
whole household of people in cold blood and
escape with but five year sentence; but if
he criticises the government, the car, a
member of his family, or an officer, he is shot
ct the fortress or exiled to Siberia-the same
II he advocates free government, franchise,
a constitution OF public schools.
Almost every day men and women are
taken from the shops or their homes and
carried in the direction Of the fortress. No
one knows what they have done amiss. II
they have offended the government they are
exiled; If they have injured the cause of the
government they are shot. The examinations
are conducted secretly. Not only is the sub
ject not permitted to make defense, but his
friends are not advised Of his arrest, charge
or sentence. And the crown takes delight in
making punishment of his offenders as swift,
stern and extreme as possible, that the tread
toward nihilism may be checked. But it
doesn't seem to check 1t. A Russian never
looks up the Neva from st. Petersburg but
that he thinks of the fortress, and he never
thinks Of the fortress without shuddering-
