One great cause Of the distrust in

made fool of himself but it is too late
to prevent much damage that might
have been evaded.

Down in Sedgwick the farmers are
seeing how it seems to be their own
bankers. j. ID, Carter, a stockman
living in the western part OF the
county, went to Wichita Saturday and
drew his balance, amounting to over
seven hundred dollars, from one Of the
banks. Taking his money home he
deposited it in fruit jar and this he
hid In a straw stack in his corral, Last
night the stack was struck by
lightning ana Carter'S money went ny
in smoke. Another farmer put over
5000 in the pa'lor stove without tell
ing his wife. She concluded to
black the stove while he was out in the

polish. 1t polished the inside of the
stove $500 worth.

there are practically no crops in west

but few fields will produce as much
grain as was sown on them and most

JACKSON on PENSIoNS.-President
Andrew Jackson certainly could not be
accused of want of sympathy for the
old soldiers of the country, but he
placed himself Oh record in the matter
of pensions in way that cannot be
misunderstood. In his message to Con-
gress in 1884 he said: II recommend
that an actual inspection should be
made in each State into the circum-
stances and claims of every person now
drawing a pension. The honest vet
eran has nothing to fear from such
scrutiny, while the fraudulent claimant
will be detected and the public Treas
ury relieved to an amount | have reason
to believe far greater than has hereto
fore been suspected"
That is exactly what the advocates of
pension reform are now suggesting.
They recommend an actual inspection
into the circumstances and claims of
every person now drawing n pension.
That recommendation is urged by sol
ders who fought bravely throughout
the war and who are indignant at the
way in which pensions have been given
to the unworthy, and to those who
have no more claim on the public funds
than the millions of others who get
nothing out of the Treasury which
they have been taxed to fill. They
know that the honest veteran has moth
ing to fear from such scrutiny.-Qerc-
land PLAIN Dedter.
