KEoKuK, Ia, Sept. 16.-Yesterday be-
gan tho joint reunion Of survivors of tho
First Iowa cavalry and Nineteenth
Iowa infantry. 1t will close tonight
with q banquet rendered by the citi-
zens. On their way to the front in 1861
these regiments rcndczvoused at Keo-
kuk and encamped on the present site
Of the beautiful Rand park. The chief
feature of last evening was the pre-
sentation of the Graves medal. Sep
TENDER 25, 1864, Lieut.. J.. w. Graves,
of company A, Third Missouri cav-
airy, with forty confederates, while
escorting under a flag of truce
Capt. j. T. Foster and sixteen men OF
the First Iowa cavalry, were surround
ed by ~detachments of Todd's, Ander-
sons and Quantrell's guerrillas in q
lonely spot about twenty miles from
Lexington, Mo. The guerrillas num-
bercd about 15c men, and were In COM
mand of the notorious and merciless
Jesse James and Cole Younger. Having
halted both detachments marching I'M
der the flag Of truce the guerrillas do
manded of Col. Graves that he immedi-
ately surrender to them the federal SOL
diers. This, he felt, would be TO hand
them over to be massacrcd, and with an
honor and valor that were chivalric he
defantly declined to do SO. Riding in
front of his men and addressing the
guerrilla leaders, Lieut.. Graves said
that the men they asked to be surren-
dercd were in his charge, and that IL n
shot was fired or an attempt made to
injure them he and his men would die
In defense of their trust and the
federal soldiers. This courageous
declaration quailed the guerrillas,
and they sullenly departed with
out being able TO crafty their
brutal taste for murder and blood.
They insisted, however, that the feder-
nj soldiers should Mt once proceed to get
within their own lines, and they fol-
lowed them for some distance, Soping
for n safe opportunity to attack them.
Lieut.. Graves Is now editor OF the Lead
er at Graham, Tex. The medal is a
beautiful creation of gold studded with
diamonds, and is inscribed thus:
With our lives we will defend our trust.

To the People OF the United States:
HEADQUARTERS DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL
COMMITTEE, 139 FIFTH AVENUE, NEW York,
Sept 1.-THE democratic national committee
congratulates the country on tho result OF the
recent state elections In Maine, Vermont and
Arkansas. In Arkansas the combined opposi-
ton, inter so many extravagant claims, fell
short over 5000 Of the vote OF the democracy
alone. This has brought dismay TO tho COM
bination In the south and its manipulators In
the north
In Maine nnd Vermont tho contest was con.
Quoted distinctly on national issues. The re.
publican managers appealed for votes In these
states on the ground that the 'size OF the plu
~ralitics would exert u great moral influence on
the campaign In other states, and that the poll
would be practically our vote for president"
Similar appeals summoned 70 their aid all the
potent resources OF the national organization
with its exhaustless treasury and It's splendid
equipment OF orators OF national fame.
With every favoring force AT their command

REPORT.
Gen. Miles Has Something Co Say Abo ut
Swiadttrc irdians.


CHICAGO, Sept. 15.-Gcn. Nelson A.
Miles annual report of the condition Of
affairs in the department Of Missouri
will be forwarded to Washington to-
day.
One Of the most important features Of
the report is the statement regarding
the swindling operations of a ring Of
lawyers who are said tn have gotten
a7, 900 from the Cheyenne and Arapahoo
Indians on n prctense that they had
settled certain Indian claims against
the government Gen. Miles has stead
lastly adhered to the belief that the
deal WAS = barefaced robbery and has
said SO in very vigorous language in his
report. ..
In 1889 Samuel j. Crawford, of Kan.
sas. Matt Reynolds, of st. Louis, and
d. b. Dyer, formerly mayor Of Guthrie,
Oh, entered into a contract with cor.
tain Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indians
for ths recovery of the value Of lands in
the Cherokee strp which was assigned
to those tribes but never occupied OF
claimed by them Capt. Lee, under
direction of Gen. Miles, made an ex.
haustive investigation on complaints of
Whirlwind AID other Cheyennes, after
the interior department had allowed
fees amounting 10 S67, 900 to be deducted
from the money due for the lands south
of the Cherokee outlet really occupied
by the tribes. His report was that the
contract with the attorneys was not in
the FIRST place Signed by the rcprcseu-
tative head men Of the tribe, aud that
without the knowledge of those who
did sign q clause was aftcrward inserted
providing that moneys from ''any other
lands" should be included. FL"
The commissioners Who negotiated
for the Cheyenne and Arapahoe lands
said that the attorneys had nothing
whatever To do with the sale aud
rendered no services. Since Gen. Miles
refers to the ease specifically in his re
port, it will necessarily be taken up by
congress Congressman Wilson, chair
mau Of the Indian committee, has boen
appraised Of the facts and promises to
press an investigation.
