LIEUTENANT COLONEL SAMUEL s. SUMNER.
racks, - will recall to military men a
flood Of half forgotten memories of cpl
sodes and incidents connected with the
historic west and army officers since
famous on the battlefelds of the civil
war The old yellow buildings, too,
are wound up in the life romance of
General Grant and also that of the
president of the southern confederacy.
The barracks and officers quarters
were erected in 1926 under the super
vision of General Henry Atkinson, the
first commander of the post. In 1882
famous old Black Hawk and all his
chiefs were confined there as prisoners.
While they were there Jefferson Davis,
fresh from West Point, was made a
lieutenant in the new First cavalry.
Lieutenant u. S. Grant appeared at
Jefferson Barracks in 1843. At ball
given by the officers to the citizens Of
Carondelet he met Miss Julia Dent,
native of the village, and a few months
later he married her in one of the old
yellow buildings.
General Joseph E. Johnston took COM
mand Of the post in 1858, and in 1855
Jefferson Davis organized the Second
cavalry there. Under him were Albert
Sidney Johnston, Robert E. Lee, Gen
erals Hardee, Thomas, Van Dorm, Kirby
Smith, Stoneman and others since IA
NOUS.
When the war broke out, the bar
racks were turned into hospital. Sub
sequently they became the property of
the engineer and ordnance corps. Late
ly the officials at Washington have
transformed the place into a cavalry
school.
General Grant, Jefferson Davis, Gen
eral Lee, Stonewall jackson, Albert
Sidney johnson and Generals Hardee,
Kirby Smith and Thomas have passed
away. Yet the old yellow buildings
still remain almost unchanged. The
reveille guns and trumpeters wake the
post to life every morning and put it to
sleep every night the same today under
the present commandant, Lieutenant
Colonel Samuel s. Sumner, as they did
IS years ago under General Atkinson.
Colonel Sumner is a son of the late
Brevet Major General Edwin Vose Sum
ner, who served for A years in the reg
u1ar army and died in the harness in
1868 after rendering distinguished serv-
ices in the civil war.

DR.. MCCAsEY, head of the Topeka in
sane asylum, evidently does not believe
in the code which makes it unprOfessional
for physician to advertise. However,
the doctors paid write-ups are not in re-
gard to his professional skill, but refer
TO his management of affairs at the asy-
lum. The Kansas City Journal has a
haif-column adv. for the asylum and its
Observation-Disclosures Gazette.
Why does the administration permit
DIR. McCasey to bring his profession and
the state into ridicule by continually in
sorting matter praising himself and his
management in the daily papers and
paying for the same at so much per line?
DIR. McCasey has offered advertisements
of himself to every paper in Topeka and
Kansas City. The morning paper here
accepted the matter, but marked it ''adv."
as it should be, very much to DR.. Nc
Casey's chagrin. This attempt of Nc
Casey to square himself with the public
by inserting paid advertisements in the
papers is enough to convince anybody
that he is not fit person to have at the
head of one of the big state institutions
1t may be asking too much of Governor
Lewelling to stop appointing the wrong
people to office, but he ought at least to
remove them when their unfitness is dis
covered.

The Republicans have nominated a
ticket which ought to prove very salts
factory in general results, and peculiar
ly satisfactory Because it was the tick
ct selected by the Republican masses
themselves. The men who were the
choice Of the Republicans as decided by
the largest number of votes cast by the
Republican people themselves, have
been placed in nomination.
In the city so far as the STATE JOURNAL
was concerned the interest centered on
county commissioner. This paper was the
only one which fought the denomination
of Commissioners Knight The vote
which stood Rodgers 1900 and knight
507, speaks for itself There is nothing
more to say and we earnestly hope that
MIR. Rodgers will make record which
will show that the handsome majority
which he received was most "worthily
bestowed
The contest for representative was the
most peculiar one ever made in this city.
1t was pretty thoroughly mixed up. 1t
must now be reasonably clear to all that
it was mistake to draw the issue on the
state Partnership. 1t made the whole
canvass SAVIOR too much of a scramble
for spoiIs 1t would have been better
all round to have declared the issue
on fitness and ability for legisla-
tive work, and for the candidates
for state printer to have taken their
chances on the representative voicing
the sentiment of the people on their
private desires for pref erment.
Major Hudson preferred to make the
issue and his friends gave him his own
way in the matter. Col Veale declares
himself free to act as he deems best.
In selecting Col Veale the majority was
most pronounced and shows that the peo-
pie, many of whom refused to allow the
printer question to enter into their Gecis-
ion, a personal one, believed that
Veale would make the best rep
resentative. His sixteen years
record with no failure on securing
appropriations most important to this
city, was force that gave him a Won
derful strength.
1t is needless to deny that Mr. Welch
was scratched because of an unfortunate
''break" he made in the cele brated tele-
phone message calling on the Santa Fe
shopmen to rally to the state house. The
Santa Fe employees resented the intima-
tion that they could be ordered out for
political purposes.
Mr.. Welch has won laurels in the past,
and the vote Saturday shows he will have
to rest on them for the present

CINCINNATI Commercial Gazette: The
men who really rule the world are linn
tied in numbers They own the gold,
and have kings and queens and govern
ments 1T their call. When new loan is
wanted they make their conditions; the
minor details OF government are left to
take care of themselves, and the people
adjust themselves to these conditions as
they can. Values go up or values go
down as suits the interests of the money
bags. They are the arbiters of peace
and war and of the fate Of nations. The
Rothschilds are the kings of the earth,
with their faithful allies and watchful
coadjutors in every land Out of sight
and almost unknown, it is they who
formulate the financial policies of the
world, which their aiders aud abettors
ever hasten to carry into effect By the
decentralization of silver they double
their power.

800, 600 in debts hung suspended over
his head This enormous sum was the
result of having signed notes for alleged
friends, who left them for him to pay.
In his old age he settled down to the
task of earning sufficient money at the
practice of the law to settle with his
creditors. He opened law Office in
Washington, and his great ability at
tracted clients with important htiga-
ton, and the business of the times was

The New Zealanders have a singular
burial custom, and one that is essential
" the same as that of the Parsees of the
orient. Unlike the latter, they bury
their dead in the earth. but leave them
there only long enough for the flesh to
decay. When nothing is left but the
bones, these are carefully cleaned and
laid away in natural caves or artificial
tombs The crime of grave robbing or
of disturbing the bones of the dead after
they have been cleaned and put away Is
always punished by death in New Tea
land and throughout Polynesia

The Republicans didn't put woman
suffrage in their platform, because they
did not wish TO make it party question.
The Pops did put ii in their platform,
and by SO doing they made it party
question. The leading women. by urging
it, are responsible for il, and, if defeated,
will have no one to blame but themselves.
The Pops, through them, have forced it
as an issue. The epubli-
cans, Democrats. and independents
should vote against L-EmpOria Re-
publican
Nonsense; all the voters who are in
favor of woman suffrage should vote for
it, and all those who are not in favor of
it should vote against it; and that's about
what they're going to dc. The Populists
have not necessarily gained any votes by
their action.

great exposition, which was considered
one of the finest buildings on the
grounds. A reference library of 10, 900
volumes is connected with the museum,
and each department has besides a IL
brary of works bearing on the particular
subjects there illustrated. The actual
cost of the building and its contents is
about So, 600, 600, but it would be inn
possible to duplicate the museum in its
present shape for twice that sum. Mar
shall Field, after whom the museum is
named, headed the list of subscriptions
with a contribution of 81, 900, 600.
Edward E. Aver, the president of the
Field Columbian museum, is one Of
Chicago's wealthiest and best known
business men. He took an active in
terest in the museum project from it's
inception and donated a collection OF
Indian relics valued at 800, 600. 1t
represents the dress, manufactures,
weapons and customs of the Apache,
Sioux, Cree, Pima, Yuma, Navajo,
Cherokee, Choctaw, Ottawa and Chip
pewa Indians and the Alaska and north
Greenland Eskimo. 1t is said to be the
best chronological collection of Indian
life and methods in the world

Walked Up in Time

To the fact that want of tone in the sys-
TEN is the herald of approaching disease,
hosts of invalids have adopted that GER
tain means of self rescue from impending
danger, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. This
benignant tonic promotes, in no ordinary
degree, digestion and assimilation,
through which the blood is fertilized and
made strengthening. Besides this, in
activity of the liver, bowels and kidneys,
which impede gain of vigor, is over
come. Appetite, as we'll as the ability to
crafty it without discomfort, is stimu-
lated by this thorough medicinal cordial,
which also has tranquilizing effect upon
nerves weak and unquiet. Food, it should
be remembered, only half invigorates the
dyspeptic. By the use of the Bitters its
nourishing properties are made available.
For malaria, rheumatism and the infirm-
titles of age, use the Bitters.

The Man with q Mouth.

l love the man who knows it all,
From east to west, from north to south;
Who knows all things, both great and small
And tells it with his tireless mouth;
Who holds listening world in awe
The while he works his iron jaw
Outlines in evenings holy calm,
When twilight softens sight and sound
And zephyr breathes a perfect psalm,
This fellow brings his mouth around
With its long gallop that can tire
The eight day clocks impatient ire.
His good, strong mouth! He Yields 1t well!
He works 1t just for all it's worth.
Not Samson's jawbone famed could tell
Such mighty deeds upon the earth.
He pulls the throttle open wide
And works her hard on every side.
Good Lord, from evils fierce and dire
Save us each day-from fear and woe,
From wreck and flood, from storm and fire,
From sudden death, from secret foe,
From blighting rain and burning drouth-
And from the man who plays his mouth.
Robert j. Burdette.
