tended exodus, the negroes claim,
was occasioned by the general
feeling that there is going to be Sc.
rious trouble between the races in
this section in the near future, and
they wanted to leay before it began.
Since the lst OF last January
twenty-slx Oklahoma clubs have
been formed in this county. The
members are all negroes, and the
purposes of the organizations are to
promote and aid in colonizations for
the territory. The negroes had all
their household effects with them,
and were crowded on the landing
ready to so on board. They lacked

pay for the boat, however, and it

that ever makes part of any organ

therein through the blood. There

Jefferson City, March IA reso-
luton to separate the university
from the Agricultural college was
passed be the house of representa-
tives this morning. Much excite
ment was manifested while the vote
was being taken, as it virtually puts
Columbia out of the race for the
State University. 1t now looks as
if that town will be allowed to re-
tain the Agricultural College, while
some other and better place will Sc.
cure the University The vote upon
the resolution to separate the two
was los for and II againsts.

issued. The total number of deaths

To the People OF Missouri.

To the People OF Missouri.
Two years ago an organization
was incorporated to provide home
for INDECENT ex-confederates, their
wives, widows and orphans, In this
time over $4,000 has been given by
our united people, regardless of po
litical creed or of the side on which
they fought The results are briefly:
We have bought farm of 3G2 acres
at Higginsville, Lafayette county,
for S1S,500 Eleven room cottages
have been built, at S40O, and other
improvements added-with horses,
cows, beef cattle, hogs, etc, costing
about So, 500 more. The buildings
bought with the farm are easily
worth $4,000. This makes our cor
federate home property worth now
about $4,000.
On our farm this year we have
raised all our breadstuffs; feed for
stock and hogs, and all the vegeta-
bles needed for the year. The cot
tages are filled with happy families.
Each family has Il COW, aud makes
its own butter, and will cultivate it's
own garden this spring. Twelve
children are going to school. The
ladies of Lafayette county are build
ing a church, to cost $1,000, to be
used as school house.
To this home over fifty men, wo-
men and children have been sent,
and are now comfortably clothed,
housed and fed by the generous peo-
pie of our great state. We estimate
that there are $50 more to be cared
for.
The women of Missouri have as
sumed the work of erecting the
main building, to cost 100000, and
they have already raised $15,957.
God has blessed them in this great
work, sanctifed by their tears and
consecrated by their prayers.
Our task is to raise an endow.
ment fund to support our old com
rades, and send their helpless chill
dren to school.
Most of this money has beer
raised in the cities and tswns. Tt
give every man a chance te share il
this great charity, we now, at this
school election, appeal to ever,
school district in the state to con
tribute ten dollars or more to helI
maintain these old soldiers and thei
families, who have no right to ap
peal to any government for aid.
We are proud of our success thu
far, and those who have alread,
given are well rewarded by the feel
) ing that they have saved so man,
from starvation and cold.
We call your attention to the fol
lowing editorial from the st Loui
Republic of January 80, 1892:
The movement to establish
Home for disabled ex-Confederat
soldiers in this state bas been wei
mal,aged and has made a good be
ginning. A little perseverance nov
will place the institution on sole
} basis. 1t is accomplishing mucl
good already in enabling some fee
bic veterans to pull easily through
hard winter"
This circular will be read to-da,
;;l every school district in the state
and when the sun goes down to
night we feel sure that every dis
aPled ex-coniederate, and every suf
fering widow and orphan viii be saf,

naught but the maiden. Her white arm
curved with the rim of a huge stone jar
full of tall green spikes and creamy bios
soms-blossoms not more fine grained
and creamy than the arm. There were
red roses on her breast, in her hair, on
her cheeks and lips. 81 veel be true to
you, my Auguste!' she was saying in
those low, liquid, creole tones, all vowels
and wooing like doves cry. "Ve veel

Those faltering words Of the faith of a
weak woman would thrill and sustain
him on the field of battle as no bugle's
reveille or infiamed patriots address
ever could.
His servant saw the sad face smile,
frown and settle down into the old un-
complaining.
The servant was old too He and his
master had been boys together. 1t
seemed to him such little while since
that other April morning when he had
buttoned his young master up in his fine
new uniform and, gone out with him
into the old Place d'Armes, where the
volunteers were mastering and the
bands were playing Dixie" and the old
Pontalba buildings were gay with bunt-

leaned, tying her handkerchief and a
rose from her breast on his bayonet.
!I.To thy country" she cried, waving
her white arms: 1.-The good God guard
thee"
After the rose crowned bayonet, then
came long marches and hardships, battle
smoke and death groans, tired feet,
the glare of camp fires and the gnawing
of hunger; fighting all day, marching
all night; sleeping on the frozen ground
with frozen moon 0 oerhead-one dream
ing of cabins log fire and the cheer Of
glad black faces, one of a maiden on a
rose balcony down in old Frenchtown.
At rare intervals came letters, pink
sealed, travel stained-carrledf for weeks,
perhaps. in a brother soldiers pocket.
Then there was no deed of daring too
great for the young man.
Then no more letters came. The
rumor came. somehow or other, to the
camp that Felicc LIE Blanc was married
to d Yankee officer.
Then how the boy fought! Into the
foremost lines! into the cannon's 5 mouth!
over the writhing dead! up to the belch-
in. muzzles. Strike. shoot! kill!

stripe, title upon title-up from private
