ROSCOE CONKLING'S CAREER.

The fatal illness OF Mr.. Conkling came
on the couutry almost without warming,
ana the departure of one SO nearly per
fec. type of physical manRood, who had
not yet reached s. years by half a year.
was not to have been looked for. Absti-
nence and temperance had been the rule
of his !jfe, he had trained his body almost
to the requirements placed upon an ath-
lete, end he bade fair to reach hale old
age with powers conserved as those of few
Americans ever have been. But in the
very fulluess of his strength lay the temp
tstiou 10 overtaN his powers. ard the per
ilous exploit OF breastlug the blizzard, a
few weeks ago, was doubtless too great q
strain. That sPpears 10 have been the
beginning of the trouble that caused his
death. l. Is an extremely interesting HS-
] ure that Is thus taken ont Of American
/ hfy,-n personality imperious and orig,
/ iua', great IN intellectual power ard re-
/ source, bat weak in some Of those higher
/ qualities that constitute true dignity of
character and that contribute t. the
achievement of craftsmanship. There
were brilliant episodes in Mr.. ConkHng's
career, aud there Is record of able ser
vices rendered in politics and the national
! Congress. but the foislss and the bitter
ness of an arrogant Individuality over
shadowed q public career that ought to
have been commanding and permanent.
/ He was in Congress a. a representative or
senator, barring two years, from 1859 TO
/ lSSt. For seven years the public have
| known him as an accomplished and sue
cessful lawyer, who studioUsly avoided the
field of politics aud gained distinction
and wealth by the practice of his profes-
sion in eur chief city. How this abrupt
division OF his life came to be made lies
within the memory of all, and it consti-
tutes one of the most picturesque chapters
in American politics.

Two NnrYnus Srnafnrs

Senator Hoar, of Massachuetss, ia a
round faced, fair skinned man, gray hair
ed, and cannon ball headed, who sits and
stares through big pair of spectaces at
the gallery, while his hands play nervous
ly all the time with a bunch of keys.
When he rises TO speak he passas the
bunch of Keys from one hand TO the other,
and as he sits and thinks of his Massa-
chusetts genealogy, and of the close line
which divides the Massachusetts Mug
vump from a Massachusetts Republican,
his actions bscame nervous, and pro
nounced jingle of the keys can be heard
in the press gallery. Hoar would be lost
without these keys. The playing with
them has become part of himself, and it
is said he has a pocket for them in his
night shirt, away down at the side cores
ponding with the pocket in his paptaloons
and that he sometim mss gets them out in
his dreams.
Senator Evart's favorite Amusement
rests in his feet rather than in his hands
and he winds mis- long legs in and out like
the India rubber man at the circus. He
is said 20 be able to twist one leg around
the other three times aud rest both feet
fat on the floor, and this is his favorise
attitude while listening to a good story
or thinking up an after dinner spsech.
Evarts ia one of the best after dinner
speakers in Congress, and he is one of
the best story -tellers. He rarely remains
in mis- seat for any length of time, and
slides about through the Senate chairs
from one brother Senator TO the other,
giving a word of wisdom here and witty
repsrtee there, and carries good nature
with him wherever he goes. Eyerts IS
good laugher-that il, he is q good
laugher for Evaris. He seldom laughs
loud enough for any one else 10 hear him,
and the only time that he gets the wrink-
les ont of his anatomy is when he hears
good joke and shskes all over with that
convnlsiye, but silent laugh.

DEATH FOR SEVEN MEN
Determined Work of yigilantes.
An Organized Band of Farmers in In
dian Territory Wipe Out Il Gang
of Horse ThieveS-SiX> hot and
One Dragged from Il
saddle.

WICHITA kan.-Eyer since last fall
farmers in the counties of Texas and
Kansas, adjoining Indian Territory, have
heen sorely annoyed By horse thieves
who have been unusually bold in their
periodical raids. Visits from the ma
rauders at last became so frequent that
the farmers formed vigilance commit
tee for The purpose Of exterminatipg the
thieves. Some weeks ago the yigiIaufes.
armed with Winchssters, six-shOoters and
Iariats, started ON the trail of the ma
rauders, but 1t was not until they had been
two weeks in the saddle that they fOund
any tangible trace of The robbers camp.
While the vigllantes were travelling
through the western part OF the Indian
Nation ten days ago they sud denly ran
across the thieves In ep ravine.
The outlaws were in their blankets, but
not asleep. When the vigilantes rode up
the crest of the ravine, the thieves who
were IN command of Bill Higgins, alias
Scar Face" spraug 20 their horses but
in mounting, one of their number was
shot dead. Tho others put epurs to their
animals and were soon throwing dust and
bullets into the eyes of their pursuers.
The horses ridden by the vigilantes were
and were in no condition to give the ont
laws horses any sort of race. But the
chase was begun and the trail of the
thieves was easily followed. For the first
ten miles there was a continuous roar
from the heavy rifles on both sides, al
though no one was injured. The fight
soon resolved itself into question of en-,
durance. After a furious chase, lasting
all day, the vigilantes, who had been able
to keep in sight of the outlaws, succeeded
in driving the gang upon a butte near a
small creek, where preparations were
made for desperate resistance.
As the vigiIantes approached the creek
flashes of fire came from the crest of
every boulder on the hill. A deanfeEing
report reverberated through the narrow
defiIes. The first volley from the outlaws
killed Peter Ackerman, of Medicine
Lodge, Kan. The thieves were surround
ed as much as possible and the fight CON
tinUed. One by one the rifles of the
thieves were silenced until but few flashes
answered the yolleys from the vigilantes.
The sun went down and darkness was en-
veloping the country when white rag
was raised on the summit of the butte
The appearance of the flag was answered
by another volley from the vigiIantes, who
charged up the hill with a yell. Three of
the outlaws aped in the darkness, but
'Scar Face" Hank Window, and Curly
Bill" were captured and killed.
"Curly Bill" and Window were riddled
with bullets, but the true Western Justice
was reserved for oscar Face" who, al
though nearly dead from the loss of
blood, was dragged to death from the
pommel of saddle. Four other mem
bers of tee gang Were found dead behind
their stone barriers.

The statement which has been recently
published that George Baucroft's memory
has failed MIN "a to historical matters il
absolutely without foundation. A qucs-
tion as to the accuracy of ono Of his state
ments in his history came mp last week,
and Bancroft went with his secretary TO
the National Library. He called for book
after book and told his secretary the pages
on which to look for references HC
proved cOnclusIvely that he was right in
his suppOsitiOn, and there is probablynot
a man in the United States who, ten years
after writing upon such matter, could
remember the exact date upon which he
founded his statement. The truth il that
Mr.. BancrOft's health is not so good today
as IL was three mOnths ago, and he has
for time stopped working upon the "Iife
of Polk" which he had begun. He has
written about 80 pages of shorthand
notes Of this, and he takes up tho work Oc
casionally. He does not, however, work
regularly.
Bancroft is having his library thorough
ly overlooked and indsxed with GLOSS
references. The card index system is
used, and the result will be that this valu-
able llbrary-by all odds the most valu-
able of the private libraries of the United
States as to historical material will DO as
accessible to the ordinary man rs it is TO
its owner. Thai is, provided il never falls
into the hands of other parties. At pres
ent Mr.. Bancroft takes great pride III it,
and he Is especially proud of its manu-
script collections. He knows to paper
just what manuscripts and copies of man
Gscripts he has, and he tells with pride the
remark Of the custodian of the French
Archives, who said that Mr.. Bancroft had
acquired papers which no other man in
the world ever had or could acquire. The
old historian is nov riding horseback at
present, though he may continue his rides
when the weather moderates, and the
fresh bright Washington spring comes
on. He takes drive every afternoon, and
in these drives his private secretary ac-
com panies him.

WINTER WHEAT.

The Crop in Poor Condition in the Northwest,
MINNEAPoLIs.-Tbe winter wheat crop
report in the Northwestern Miller,
says: "The developments of the last
IA days, and particularly the last 7
have put larger percentage of winter
wheat in condition where there is no
longer any doubt. April has been favor
able, with sunshine and plenty of moist
ure, but both have failed to give the fav-
orabte change hoped for. Information
of a reliable character at this stage of the
month puts the shortage in
the winter wheat belt at from 18,00O,000
to 36,0O0,000 bushels as compared with
the preceding crops. The outlook in the
Missouri river valley was never better.
In other parts the outlook is the reverse.
Illinois now promises to give the poorest
yield per acre of any state in winter
wheat, and while other states have hello
their Owp, there has been a continued de-
preciati9n in the general situation since
the first of April.

CLUTCHING FOR GOULp'S HAIR.

NJ. X. and T. Security Holders Can't See Why
Their Road should Fall Behind and the
VI. z. Declare Dividends.
New YoRx, April PA committee of
security holders of the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas rosI have drawn up \ lengthy
answer TO Jay Gould's letter. Stress is
laid upon the sharp decline of the NJ. X.
and L. securities while no CORES pondiug Z
define occurred in the Missouri Pacific
bonds, snd the inference is
drawn that Mr.. Gould has not
managed the affairs of the former as
well as those of the latter. While the
expenditure of two millions for steel
rails laid, referred to by Gould, should
have redrced the cost of maintenance
and operation 1t increased from IS per
cent in / $50 10 - per cent in 1887. The
most important feature of the dCcu-
ment Is the assertion that the Mis-
souri, Pacific owed the NJ, X. and L.
over one million dollars in December
1856, aud since then this has been ab
sOrbed and debt of over eight hundred
Thousand dollars created, which Gould
claims Is owed to the Missouri Pacific.
The committee profess themselves At a
loss to understand the rude state
ment that the Missouri Pdcif-
Ic made the advances necessary to
meet current expenses, when the official
statement of the Missouri Pacific shows
that in recent years it has been constant
ly in debt TO the NJ, X. I. The commit
tee refute the statemeB of Gould that the
failure of the corn crop caused 4
shrinksge in the earnings and are at a
loss to understand why urder all these
conditions the NJ. X. d L. should fall
heavily into debt, while the Missouri Pa
oitic merely reduced its dividends from :
to per cent
