Here is an article from the New
York World regarding the pensions
awarded the old soldier boys. You
will no doubt read it with interest
and grasp the fact according to
the Worlds say, that you have
been "fraudulently placed there for
the purposes of vcte-buying," and
that in all probabilities your pen
sions will be greatly reduced if not
entirely taken from you. 1t would
appear that the Democracy intends
paying out the now pension funds
in "salary" which will be awarded a
certain few. Here is the article:

CoUNFERFEIrER CAPTURED.
John Johnson, an LEGGED Counterfeter, Wi
Captured Full PIrtf ulars.

! George Fl. uregg and Charles II. Castle
! ton brought TO the city yesterday man
| who gave his nan as John johnson, and,
taking him before Commissioner Shear
man, fled complaint charging said John
son with passing counterfeit money.
Messrs. Gregg and Castleton were seen
by an EAGLE reporter, and the following
facts were learned concerding the case and
the charges they filed against Johnson:
1t appears that the prisoner had spent
several days in the vicinity of Derby, aud
had managed 20 get rid of large amount
OF silver dollars. He would visit farmer
and make some excuse for wanting to ex-
change silver money for paper. He
claimed that he had become burdened
with the bulk silver, and, being an oily
tongued individual, he worked off large
amount OF his coin
Messrs. Gregg and Carlton became sus-
plcious of his conduct and resolved to in
vestia,ate the matter. The coin was almost
perfect in weight. ring and appearance to
the genuine, and they Were not certain
that the money he was strewiug about the
country was really a counterfeit, but de-
cided, as his actions were suspicious, they
would give him the benefit of a severe
questioning. With this object in view,
they armed themselves and came upon the
suspected person from opposite directions.
johnson saw the men approaching and
took shelter in a hedge near by. Gregg
drew his gun upon him, telling him to
throw mp his hands. Instead of obeyiHg
he started TO draw his revolver, but was
stopped by Carlton, who commanded him
TO come out and surrender. Having
secured their man search was iRsti
suited and large amount of money
found in his possession, both good aud
counterfeit.
They felt certain that they were on the
right trail, and brought their man to
Wichita, taking him before United States
Commissioner Frank Shearman filed the
complaint upon which the warrant was is
sued, and the prisoner committed TO jail in
default of bail
Commissioned Sherman in speaking of
the Case last night said that the work OF
Messrs Gregg and Carlton could not be
too highly commended fer the sagacity
displayed and felt certain that the captur-
Ell would rebound TO Che benefit OF the
country, and be the means of discourag
ing the dealers in spurious coins aud green
goods

IN TIE coUNTRY.

In any direction you may 60. you will
rec as fine stand of wheat as Kansas
ever had. The heads are full, clear and
heavy. and the farmers are cutting and
shocking it with all tie force at their
command. There is large acreage, and
while much is ripe, much more will not
be ready until the latter part of next
week. If no storm of wind or hail occurs
in that time the wheat growers will be u
happy set.
Corn looks fine and some Is already be-
ginnlng to tassel There is much late
planting and Of course this is backward,
but is growing rapidly and has
fine color. With a few late
rains in July there viii be a
monster crop of wine in this section. In
riding out TO the Cow Skin" yesterday
the wheat fields were ablaze with gold and
machines at work, while this was going on
many new houses and barns were in course
OF construction, and everything denotes
thrift and prosperity. This is a great yea
for grasses also, and surely the Kansas
farmer IS blessed and should be the happi-
est man in the world
