VNCONOIC no ''~I y 2 r\ Do rfINCO
VALLEY FALLS. Kan. Nov. 25.-Four
valuable trotting horses, known all over
Kansas, were burned to death here yester-
day. Seventy-five thousand dollars is a
small estimate of the loss The animals
were Evermond, for which an offer of 49,
600 was refused short time ago, and
Prairie Wilkes, Joe Larkin and Wedge
mont. They were the property of J. c.
Webster & Co., OF this city.
Early in the morning a farm hand went
into the barn with lantern. In some way
this was thrown over on a pile of hay aud
in en- instant the whole interior was
ablaze The man had barely time to es-
cape, but in his desperation he tried TO
save one of the valuable horses. Several
other persons about the place rushed to
the rescue, but all efforts were IL vain.

HON. CYRUS BUSSEYS REPORT,

r1ON. " nOS nCTohI.
WASHINGTON, Nov 25.-Cyrus Bussey,
the assistant secretary of the interior, has
submitted to Secretary Noble a report Of
the operations of his office in the adjudica-
ton of pension claims that are appealed
from decisions of the commissioner Of
pensions. The process of investigation to
which pension appeals are subjected. says
the assistant secretary, is distinct from
the method which is applied to the origi-
nal examination of claims in the bureau
of pensions and yet the two are related,
inasmuch as the adjudication of each is
based upon the commissioners adverse
decision of the claim, the record and all
the accompanying papers being taken
from the files of the bureau and care
fully reviewed. This investigation is
conducted with reference not only to the
facts which the evidence may establish,
but largely with regard to the construc-
ton of the law and the citation of depart
mental presidents that may determine the
claimants rights. A tabulated statement
submitted as part Of the report shows
that at the beginning of the last hscal
year there were pending $50 appeals. Dur
ing the year 3, los appeals had been filed,
making total of 3,2SS cases. OF this
number 1888 were considered and dis
posed of, leaving l 300 appealed cases pend
ing on July /, 1889. On November l, 1885,
this number had been increased to 2S0S.
Assistant Secretary Bussey in conclusion
recommends that the board of pension ap-
peals be increased to six members.

THE TRUE LIGHT.
VALUE OF A LEAF.

It is most interesting to notice how
even a small part Of the Bible, how sin
gle leaf or verse sometimes lets the light
Of salvation into the benighted mind.
a missionary who lived in India tells
as of half-caste Hindu woman who
found leaf Of the Bible, and was SO in
terested in what she read that she sought
for more, and having obtained a complete
copy Of the Scriptures, she became con-
vert to Christianity. Under her teach
ings and influence several Of her relatives
were brought to Christ. She was perse
cuted by her kinsmen and deserted by
her husband, but her son became con.
vert and then a minister preaching the
Gospel to his own countrymen.

bitterness of his despair to know that all
this was beyond his reach. 1t is not so
with the blessings of the Gospel of the
kingdom. 1t is true these blessings are
not in the possession of all men and are
not near to all men. They are not near
to those who never heard of them. There
are millions of poor heathen who have
never heard of the living and true God,
nor of His Son, Jesus Christ.

GOVERNOR FORAKER has written let
ter to the Cincinnati Enquirer stating
that he was not implicated in the ballot
box-forgery contract. Foraker and Hal
stead charged that Campbell, the Dem
ocratic candidate for Governor was guilty
of making an illegal and dishonest con.
tract with the Government. Halstead
made an equivocal withdrawal of his
charge Foraker has never withdrawn
the charges he made although he has the
same evidence that his charge
was untrue and same knowledge
that the contract, which bore the forged
names Of Campbell. Sherman and others,
was forgery that Halstead had. All
men rejoice that such blatant dema-
gogue as Foraker was beaten. His
behavior in this instance is key to the
character of the man who rose into
prominence because he said that Mrs.
Cleveland turned her back on him. The
country can spare Foraker and Malone.
