MRS. GRANTS DREAM.
A Vision of New Orleans Seen in q Dream
Which Was Afterward Realized.

A Vision of New Orleans Seen In a Dream
Which Was Afterward Realized.
"My early home was in St. Louis" SAYS
Mrs. U. S. Grant, in an interview now for
the first time made public. "New Orleans
was then the great commercial metropolis of
the South, and with the Young people of nv
acquaintance visit to New Orleans was the
great event of lie time. When one of our
circle was SO fortunate as to be able to spend
a few days there he was the envy of us all.
One night had dream. In my dream
seemed to be in the city of New Orleans, and
jhe people came out in masses to do me
honor. ] was invited to dine with all the
leading persons of the city, and ieted until
it seemed that the whole city had turned out.
The populace brought great rolls of carpet
ing and spread it on the walks, and the en-
thusiasm was as great MS though queen
was receiving the fealty of her subjects.
But all the time it seemed to me that
while all this was in my honor, and 1 was
permitted to receive the bonors as if no one
else shared them, yet another was present,
and his presence was the real occasion of
the enthusiastic reception that was rendered
us.
'I married General Grant, and the for
tunes of war placed him where his Kindness
of heart enabled him to place the South. as
they thought, under the most lasting obli-
cations, and they never seemed to tire OF
expressing their gratitude. After the Gen
eral retired from the Presidency, askyou
know, we made tour OF the South. When
we visited New Orleans nv girlhood dream
all came true. The entire populace of New
Orleans turned out to do us honor. They
unrolled great rolls of carpet on the walks
as though the fagstones were not good
enough ior us to walk on. We were the
guests OF the leading men, and of the city
itself, and were feted by everybody as
though everyone was trying to outdo the
other. Never did any person receive
greater ovation, and could not help feel
ing that it all came FROM the generous hearts
of the people as a token of their appreci-
alton OF the Generals kindness to General
Lee and his army"

that the greater part of them scattered and
took refuge In Southern Guatemala and
Nicaragua. Some time thereafter-prob-
ably a century-the barbarous Chichimecs
put in appearance, and took possession OF
the deserted sites of the Toltectal monarchy.
These people had been living in the adia-
cent country previously, and had lost to
some extent their rudeness by their pro1-
unity to the progressive Toltecs.
NoBLEsT OF THEM ALL.
Hardly had the Chichimecs settled in
Mexico when the van of another migrating
horde, whose language was related to that
of the Toitecs, appeared within the borders
This migration was composed of seven dill
ferent tribes who are all reckoned as belong
ing to one family. the NahoatIacas.
The seventh and last to appear was the
celebrated Aztec race. The Aztecs, the
people whose power and splendor became
afterward so great, first settled at the place
called by them Quahuitl-Ic Icacan, but made
repeated journeys subsequently until they
eventually reached the table-land of Ana
huac, where they remained until their final
subiugation by the Spanish conQuerors.
In the south of Mexico existed probably
the oldest race in America, the Maya tribes
of Chiapas, Guatemala and Yucatan. When
this tribe appeared in the country is not
known. Their monuments still exist in the
districts named, but of their history we
know nothing. Our knowledge of the his
tory of the ancient people of the isthmus is
not so extensive, but when We reach the
mainland of South America We are again
confronted by traces of prehistoric migra-
ton, although not SO plainly as in Central
America.
SOUTH AMERICAN RACES.
On the lofty plateaus of Bogota and Tunja
and in the valleys of Pacho, Tensa, Caqueza
and FusagasuA together with the entire
districts of Ubate, Chiquinquira, Mona
quira and Leyva, existed the great Chib-
chas, who could number 1000 inhabitants

First-Class Quality.

at the cheese factory in East Otto short
time ago there was put In the hoop the big
gest cheese ever made in this region, and
probably the largest ever made in the United
States. 1t measures feetin diameter and
is 80 inches high. Its weight when cured
will be 1000 pounds, and fully 3S, 900 pounds
of milk was used in its manufacture.
The abundant pasturage made the Sep

TEMPLE TO THE MOON.

The latter is about half as large as Titicaca
Island, and is completely covered with
ruins. Besides the great tsTemple of the
Moon" and Palace of the Virgins" are
other edifices supposed to have been used
for houses of publication and residences of
the priestesses and their attendants. The
moon temple occupies exactly the center of
the island, and a most beautiful structure it
must have been, Judging by what remains
of the walls and terraces, whose original
character and extent can be distinctly
traced. The lower story is yet standing,
and its spacious inner courtyard is utilized
by the few Indians who inhabit the island
as an inciosure for their focks at night.
Though the whole OF Coat is arabic land. the
island is now used merely as a sheep fold.
According to tradition this splendid patio
was the corral wherein the Incas, in their
days Of imperial splendor, kept the sacred
llamas and vicunas. From the wool Of these

holland SUSPENDED.
The Governor of Missouri Sus-
ponds the State Treasurer.
HIS SHORTAGE PROBABLY $4,000.
The Fascination of Poker Said to Have
Caused His Predicament-A Com
mittee of Investigation APP
pointed.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, March State
Treasurer Ed T. holland was suspended
from Office last evening by Governor
Francis as result of the examination
of the books of the Treasury Depart
ment. That the Treasurer is short in
his accounts scarcely admits of the most
remote doubt, and the shortage is gen.
orally placed at about $50, 900. Governor
Francis submitted to an interview at
the mansion. He talked very guardedly.
He said:
II suspended Treasurer holland, hav-
ing concluded an examination OF the
affairs OF the Office. My action was
based upon the discovery of various
Irregularities in the department and
upon rumors concerning a deficit"
Being asked if deficit had been dis
covered, the Governor said: There APP
pears to be a deficit, but it is such one
as will not hurt the bondsmen to pay"
The Governor will serve due notice Of
his action upon the Attorney-General
to-day, and that individual will
commence proceedings next Monday be-
fore the Supreme Court. This is the
present arrangement and it will not
likely be altered. In such cases the law
does not permit of resignation.
Treasurer holland was informed of his
suspension by the Governor in person.
What passed between them will proba-
bly, never be known. The Treasurer is
under great mental distress, and even
vet many of his friends refuse to be-
lieve the true condition of affairs. He
maintained stoutly all day that the ex-
ANNA = on would show that nothing was
wrong. He undoubtedly expected the
bondsmen to make up the deficit
The cause of Treasurer Nolands
trouble is aseribed to mania for play:
ing poker. 1t is said that he lost heaF=
lily in games at Kansas City, st. Louis
and New York. He had only been iR
the Office fourteen months. So far as
his habits were concerned, it is posi-
lively known that he did not gamble.
The Governor. after a consultation
with the State officers, decided TO ap'
point an examining committee under
the provisions of section S,635, which
committee will be required to meet in
jefferson City at once and make thor
ough investigation of the affairs Of the
Treasury Department and make re-
port as to their findings. The law does
not state whether this committee shall
consist of members of the Legislature
or of business men outside the Legisla'
ture. Neither does it state the number
of which the committee shall be com.
posed.
The Governor adds that the law only
requires him to investigate until he
finds sufficient cause of action, and that
it will be the business of this commit
tee to make a detailed report.
The Governor appointed the following
gentlemen as a committee to examine
the book OF the Treasurer: Charles
Parsons, st, Louis; W. II: CHICK, kaaAllss Kansas
City, and Finis Marshall, of ppieRyillie.

OKLAHOMA RACE WAR.
A Negro Whipped Near Kingfsher Other
Driven Away.

A Negro Whipped Near Kingfisher Others
Driven Away.
GUTHRIE, |. T.. March 5.-Another
proof of the need of government was
given yesterday by the preparation OF
of an outrage of which the following de-
tails have been given by parties arriving
from Kingfsher:
Press reports emanating from Topeka
concerning the alleged scheme to colon
ize Oklahoma and make it negro State
aroused the settlers to a high pitch of
excitement. At Downs, a small station
on the Kingfisher and Guthrie stage
route, the people have been especially
aroused and secret organization de-
cided to drive out the few negroes there
and not allow more of that race to be-
! come settlers.
Four miles northeast of Downs lived
colored family named Hawkins, and
near them another colored family, Bur-
CESS by name. Hawkins was suspected
of firing prairie grass short time ago
on aneighb boris claim and feeling against
him was ugly. Early yesterday morn
ing a masked party of men from Downs
DfOht 1IJO lRdN n IS uOuSC. eCO4A AAAAA
from his bed and severely whipped him.
During the whipping Buck Hawkins,
a son, ran and aroused the Burgess fam
ily, and Abe Clark and Samuel Burgess
armed themselves with shotguns and
returned with young Hawkins and fired
at the party from ambush. The masked
party was literally peppered with shot
and Henry Chambers was badly hurt
about the head and face.
The negroes were pursued, and before
they could load again we're surrounded
by the settlers, who held Winchesters
on them. The negroes were thoroughly
frightened, and promised to leave the
neighborhood.
The elder Hawkins arrived at King
fisher last night and asked ection:
He claims that the outrage was planned
by Wood Davis, who is contesting his
claim.
The few negro settlers in the vicinity
of Guthrie have become greatly alarmed
at the feeling against the colored peO-
pie, and are getting ready to go to Kan
sas. Several of them have offered to
sell their claims for mere pjttance.

FARMERS ALLIANCE.

the Situation.

WICHITA, Kan, Feb. 27.-There was
secret meeting yesterday of presidents
and secretaries of the Farmers ALI
ances in this county attended by num-
Der from Reno, Kingman, Butler and
Harvey Counties. The President OF the
State organisation, i. H. Clover, was In
attendance. 1t was intended to keep
the whole affair a secret, and as far as
the politicians Of the town are concerned
IL was successful
There were present ffty-two leading
alliance men and they were In session
Yesterday morning on the upper floor OF
g leading hotel only one or two going In
and out at q time and keeping close
watch that no one should find out what
was being done. They adjourned at
1890 and an hour later were back to
business, and remained there until
few minutes after six o'clock. Most OF
them went home last night
President Clover, when seen by re-
porter claimed to know nothing OF
meeting having been held, but finally
concluded that they had been In con
Sultaion," as he expressed 1t. He said
they had been discussing the situation
in Kansas, and knowing that the farm
ers were having a hard time of it they
were trying to find out what could be
done to alleviate their condition. They
wanted to realize more from their corn
crop. Last year it was no corn that was
assigned as the cause for hard times.
This year there was an abundance OF
corn and hard times also. They had
come to the conclusion that something
must be radically wrong.
Being asked if the meeting had any
political features he said: I'VE are
looking ut the situation, not avoiding
any topic. be it political, commercial or
any thing else We did not elect any
body to any thing to-day and had little
to do with this feature of the question.
When the time comes we may give some
attention to this question, but you sec.
is is most too early vet.
One ri the Trading alliance men in an
swer to 4 question said. Yes, we intend
to have something to do with politics
this year am of the opinion the ALI
snce will have great deal to say in
and Statc officers. That is enough for
the next year. think the alliance will
decide who shall be Governor"
d II was asked if there was any tendency
to place Clover in the field for Governor
when he said: 20. he would be an ex-
