The admission Of the state and the out
break Of the civil war were coincident, and
as might have been predicted from their
martial gestation the people devoted them
selves with unabated zeal to the mainte-
nance of the Union. Being outside the
field Of regular military operations, mac
cessible by railroads, exposed to guerrilla in
cursions from Missouri and to Indian raids
from the south and west, the campaign Of
defense was continuous, and for four years
the entire population was under arms. I'M
migration ceased. By the census of June,
1860, the number of inhabitants was 49,
463. At the close of the war it had de
clined to 140,150. Fields lay fallow, and the
fire Of the forges expired. Towns were de
serted and homesteads abandoned.
The state sent more soldiers to battle
than it had voters when the war began.
Under all calls, its quota was 1881; it fur
nished 90 l5l, without bounty or subscrip
tion. Nineteen regiments, 8 companies and
3 batteries participated in 127 engagements
of which were on her own soil From
Wilson Creek to the gulf every great field
in the southwest was illumined by theii
valor and consecrated by their blood. Hel
proportion of mortality in the field was the
largest among the states, exceeding 6l il

Not a "Reel Mess" "

A party of young men who were off on
fishing excursion on the Ohio river some
years ago were joined by an eccentric man
skilled as a fisherman known in that region
as ''Barefooted Sam" Hewas good cock
and made himself useful in so many ways
that his presence, though uninvited, was
tolerated by the amateur sportsmen.
One morning two members Of the party
returned to camp with their appetites well
sharpened for breakfast and were greeted
enthusiastically by third man, who said,
"You lust come along and see the finest
baked perch you ever laid eyes on"
They hurried to the table, butSsaw only a
rick of bones from which every fiber Of
meat had been taken. Sam was nowhere
to be seen. When he returned, no COM
ments were made upon the circumstance,
but in the afternoon, when the company
were lounging on the bank, Sam drawled
out:
I'D like to have all the fish could eat,
lest onst. l amt had a mess since Pete
Follet ketched that big catfish three years
back"
"Sam, - remarked one of the group dryly,
IT thought you had quite a fair mess this
morning That perch weighed about 10
pounds, I've been informed"
"Oh, yes" replied Sam, with no sign OF
embarrassment on his placid countenance,

She Claims That 1t Was Abused by
Her Sons.
a complaint which was filed Yesterday
morning in the County Clerks office sets
forth story of mothers blind confidence
in her offspring.
From the complaint, drawn by Attorney
George A. johnson, it appears that Mrs.
Hayes has been a widow for thirty-three
years, and that since her husbands death
she has eontrived by hard work and
economy to accumulate certain property on
Natoma street.
In 1880, Samuel, one of her four sons, rep
resented To her that it would be we'll for
her 10 convey her property TO her children,
the reason given her being that such a pro-
ceedlng would save the expense of probate
procedure after her death. Accordingly,
reposng perfect contidence in her children
the widow decided her property over To the
sons, James, Patrick, Samuel and Robert
Hayes. absolutely.
As all went well Mrs. Hayes purchased
another piece OF property on Minna street,
and decided that also 10 her sons. Alter
that she again purchased property, and
again similar deed was executed. In 1883
Robert died, and his interest was reconveyed
through his mother to the remaining three
sons.
But the crash came few months ago
when the sons notified the tenants not TO
pay any rents to the old lady, and since
then she has not bad control of the prop-
erty.
Mrs. Hayes says that she had no alterna-
tive, therefore, but TO appeal TO the Superior
Court, and ID her complaint she charges her
sons with having imposed upon her, and
asks that the deeds he declared null and
void on the ground that they were obtained
by false presentations.
