BACK FROM STEVENS COUNTY.

''The bold sojer boys returned from
their second campign in Stevens county on
yesterday mornings train. They all look
well tanned and are in good health. The
condition of affairs in Stevens county,
however, does not seem at all improved.
and trouble is expected to be renewed at
almost any time. Woedsdale people
threaten to kill Hugoton people and HUI
cotton people swear TO kill certain Woods
dale people.
And as one of the officers expressed it.
the governor seems to have concluded to
let them go ahead, settle the difficulty by
killing off the ring leaders of both factions.
The people gave up very few arms and
now, that the military have been with
drawn, will resume their arms and go
abroad in the land of Stevens, seeking
whom they may Stay For the sake of the
tax payers and the reputation OF the state
it is the wish of many, that
the thing viii not let UP until every MAJ,
who is ''hankerin' fur blud'' will get shot
so full of holes as to enable his friends to
read newspaper through him.
And now comes Grant county with a
county seat fight which il is said threatens
in bitterness and yiciousness anything in
the annals Of Kansas county seat fights
The militia say they expect to be called
out there soon. For the good of the state
in every way, il is TO be hoped they won't,
but if they are, those who cause it ought
to be n ade 10 sufer.

AN OVER DOSE OF MORPHINE
L. Ia Bevcr Found Dead yesterday Morning on
South Hydraulic.

Early yesterday morning the body of a
man vas found on South Hydraulic ave
nue.. 1t was identified as that of Mr. L. L.
6eVer, young man aged "a years, and
who formerly, about a year ago, was a
compositor on the EAGLE. For year past
he has worked at Hutchinson and other
places and carried travelling card from
the Typographical Union at Hutchinson.
lie was a young man of good family and
formerly lived at Lathrop. Mo-, where
his fathers family still reside He is
spoken of by his former associates as being
very quiet and good hearted young man.
Several letters were found upon his per-
son, but none Of them could shed any light
upon the question of whether
Or not he had committed
suicide. From these and from couple of
morphine envelopes found with his body,
1t would seem that morphine had caused
his death. But, as he had lately been tax
ing 1t III limited way, the most plausible
theory Is that he took an overdose.
The coroner's jury yesterday afternoon
returned a verdict giving it as their opin-
ion that morphine caused his death, but
they did not think he had committed
suicide. His remains We're embalmed by
I Undertaken Deering yesterday.
A telegram was received by Sheriff Hays
last night from Lathrop, Mo-, saying that
DR.. W. j. Bever, brother of the deceased,
would arrive in the city today.

WASHINGTON, ID. d., April Z, 1856. J
Southern Division G. w. G. Examiner, No. 299, 800
mother of Arnold Shaw. Company II. Seventeenth
Regiment, United states Colored Troops.
SIRS-This claim for pension has been
rejected ON the ground that as the claim
ant was a slave at the date of the soldiers
death, she was not dependent upon him
for support at the time. Very respectfully,
JOHN G. BLACK, Commissioner.
To Joel r. Griffin & Co., Nashville,
Tenn.
Arnold Shaw enlisted in August, 1868,
when according to President Lincoln
proclamation slavery had been abolished.
His death as soldier dated after his en-
Hstment; hence the commissioner assumes
fact contrary to history. Mrs. Shaw re-
ceived the bounty of her son, amounting
to S10S. The evidence that was sufficient
to secure her that was enough to give her
the pittance that the government allows
to dependent relatives. Arnold was one of
the four sons that the old mother gave to
the union army.
He then added, submit that under this
ruling the relatives of colored union sol
diers of the south are wholly denied the
benefit of pensions, for all of them were
slaves.

POLITICAL MEETING.
HARRISON AND MORTON CLUB AID.
DRESSED BY MR.. WALLER.
Democracy Branded as the Com.
mon Enemy of the Country
and the Negro.

The Harrison and Morton club held a
meeting at the court house last night with
a good attendance. In response to an
invitation the club and its friends were
addressed by Mr. J. l. Waller, of Topeka,
| who is known to be one of the best polite
al speakers of the state. After some short
addresses by local talent, Mr.. Waller was
presented
| He arraigned the Democratic party as
the common enemy of the country and
The Republican party gave Fremont one
| million votes in 1856, and right grandlY
did it arise to the defense of our common
country and its flag IN 1860 under Lincoln.
He branded the Democratic party with
the enactment and passage of the fugitive
slave law of 1850, and the Democratic
supreme court with the deliverence of the
''Dred Scott decision" How can colored
men support such party? Dare any
Democrat deny the charges which l bring
here. The Republican party is the true
friend Of the colored man and of the
laborer. He took up the record of the two
parties on the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and
Fifteenth amendments and showed that
slavery was abolished and suffrage given
to the colored man and it was done by
Republicans and not by the Democrats
The amendments were passed over the
stern opposition of the Democratic party,
while the Republican party stood as firm
as rock by the rights of the colored race.
A committee of cOlored men were appoint
ed to wait on the president and ask him to
sign the amendments, ard the creates.
soldier the world ever saw said: ''Tne
men who have SO faithfully borne the
cartridge box in defense of the union
should be armed with the ballot box" and
he s. gned the amendments. In order to
make constitutional amendment valid it
must be ratified by three-fourths of the
states Of the union, These amendments
went out from Washington begging for
ratification. and in every state where the
Democratic party was in power
the amendments were defeated.
and in every state where the Republican
was in power, the amendments were
adopted. Can any Democrat deny it?
Lamar said of these amendments. They
are unconstitutional, revolutionary and
invalid" So said all the Democratic party.
Lamar came to the senate by virtue of the
infamous mississippi plan," where he
shook his fist in the face of the north, and
said that mo man shall assail Jeff Davis
while l hold seat in this body without
being condemned by me-" or words to that
effect. Doubtless for his Interpretation of
the amendments and his defence of jeff
Davis, Cleveland placed him on the SUI
p RENE bench of the United States. Cleve-
Land has vetoed more pension bills
han all his predecessors combined. |
Grant was president eight years
and vetoed five pension bills |
Hayes vetoed three and Arthur two, but |
Cleveland has vetoed 40 pension bills |
inside of four years. The Democratic al |
has decided that the heirs
and relatives of the 220,000 colored union
soldiers of the south are not entitled to
pensions In proof of this statement Mr..
Waller read the following decision from
he pension department:
