Confederate Home.

To the People of Missouri.
Two years ago an organization was
incorporated to provide a home for IN
digent ex-Confederates, their wives,
widows, and orphans. In this time over
$50, 900 has been given by our united
people, regardless of political creed or
of the side on which they fought. The
results are briefly: We have bought u
farm of 362 acres at Higginsville, La
tayette County, for $4,000. Eleven
3-room cottages have been built, cost
ing $50; a storehouse built at $400,
and other improvements added-with,
horses, cows, beef-cattle, hogs, etc,
costing about 3 800 more. The build
ings bought with the farm are easily
worth "a 900. This makes our Con
federate Home property worth now
about $32 900.
On our farm we have this year raised
all our breadstuffS; feed for stock and
hogs, and all the vegetables needed
for the year. The cottages are filled
with happy families. Each family has
COW, and makes its own butter, and
will cultivate its own garden this spring
Twelve children are going 10 school.
The ladies of Lafayette County are
| building church, to cost 81 200, To be
used also as IL school house.
To this Home over fifty men, women
and children have been sent, and are
now comfortably clothed, housed and
fed by the generous people of our great
State. We estimate that there are
250 more to be cared for.
The Women of Missouri have aSsum-
ed the work of erecting the main
building, to cost about $50, 900, and
they have already raised Slj,957. God
has blessed them in this great work,
sanctified by their tear, and consrCratrd
by their prayers.
Our task is to raise an endowment
fund To support our old comrades, and
send their helpless children to school.
Most of tins money has been raised in
the cities and towns. TO give every
man chance to share in this great
charity, we now, at the school election,
appeal to every school district in the
state to contribute ten dollars or more
to help maintain these old soldiers and
their families, who have no right to
appeal to any government for aid.
We are proud of our success thus
far, and those who have already given
The weekly intelligencer., 1892-03-26

are well rewarded by the feeling that
they have saved so many from starva-
ton and cold
The money given will be carefully
and economically used by the executive
committee, composed of one vice pres
ident from each congressional district,
elected at our annual reunion. To
these all funds will be first remitted,
and by them sent to our treasurer,
Major Hiram A. Ricketts,, cashier of
the Southern bank, Mexico, Mo. The
treasurer has given an ample bond,
with Ex-Governor Chas. H. Hardin,
Senator Green Clay, and others, rs
sureties-representin over half-mil-
lion dollars.
The wonderful success of this move
will, we trust, be a guarantee to you
of good management in the future

TREASURE OF THE ARGONAUTS
Seeking the Wreck of Il Steamer
Sunk in the Missouri i'm 1858.

The following from the Kansas City
Star will revive many such stories with
the old-timcrs:
4 force of men from Argentine, in
the employ of Bradshaw d Co., is at
work near Waverly, about eighty
nine miles below here by river, upon
the wreck of the steamer Baird. The
boat was sunk about 1865, and one
item of its cargo was 800 barrels of
whisky. There were also many
passengers on the boat and among
them were people who had sold out
in the east and were immigrating west.
About So, 900 in specie is said to be
in the two iron sa Ees on the boat.
The Baird had left st. Louis and was
bound for Omaha when the accident
occurred.
The Missouri river does not now
run exactly in the channe that it did
when the Baird was lost and the spot
where the wreck lies is not in the
river itself. A sand bar formed around
the old wreck. The bar grew with
the passage of years and there is now
II large accretion there. Work at
eXcavating was begun February + 81
and is progressing favorablyr. A cais-
son has been lowered to the old steam
cr's upper works and water and sand
is now being pumped out and the way
to the hold is beng cleared. The
hoops of the barrels were wood and
VIII not rust out rs iron hoops would.
a large lot of whisky is said to- lie
in, the hold of the Arabia, n. magniti-
cent side-wheel steamer, CO almanded
t'y Captain Terrill, that sunk below
!'arkville about 1857.
a great deal of gold-said to be
about SOC, ,000--iS aboard a wreck thar
lies above BoonvIlle and below the
mouth of the Lamine river. An effort
! to recover this was made in 1881, but
| high water prevented the cOnsIImma-
tion of the attempt. This wreck is
also not now in the river out is IN the
| bottom land on the south bank of the
f! river. II is Il very old wreck-ante-
! dating the other two mentioned. The
