POWERFUL ARGUMENTS.
They Won the Joint Debate For Cap
 tain Johnson.

One of the best of the early day Missouri stories recently set afioat is that attributed to General Solicitor Parker of the Frisco road-a rare ar tist as a raconteur, by the way-in which he relates how Captain Jeffer son Johnson run for the legisla- ture way back before the war. Cap tain Johnson was one of the represen- tative citizens of MaTies county, Mo-, man of wealth and influence, but little learning. He decided that he would like to go to the legislature. There was no republican party in Maries county then, and usually a number of democrats ran against each other independently In this canvass Captain Johnson was oppos- ed by man named Graham, who had recently come from Pennsylvania. Graham was a school master and a man of unusual learning for those times. He was also a ready and for cible talker, and entered the race against Captain Johnson. whose edu- cation did not eXtenu much beyond ability to write his name, with con- 1 fidence of an easy victory. The campaign was scarcely under way be- fore Graham proposed a joint debate. When this proposition was carried to Captain Johnson he hesitated. Captain Johnson was dot exactly rer- tain in his own mind just what debate was, but his friends assured him that he could not we'll decline his opponents offer. "All right" said Johnson, in his easy, good na- ! tured way. 'T don't know much 1 about debatin', but if t'other feller | kin do 1t, I reckon 1 kin, tou.' So the debate was arranged. It was to open at a big barbecar and picnic at Lige Jones's, on the edge of Lanes prairie. The day arrived and with It about half the population of the county Graham went to Captain Johnson and intimated that he would like to open and close the debate. Johnson assented
 You are welcome to take furst Whlrl at me- he sajH ''I guess I can make out with what's left"
 It was agreed that Graham was to nave an hour to open and half an nour to rejoin, while Johnson was to speak for an hour and half without l 1rfeTm1ssion- The people assembled
 about the stand to hear the flow of orauory. Graham made a splendid
 speeeh-full of good arguments and
 humor When his time was up he sat down feeling that he was already elected. Then Captain Johnson arose T don't know 'zaotly what I'm ex-
 pected to do," he said, Out as Mr
 Graham has made you a speech-ani
 a mighty fine one-r guess I'll do
 somethin' else. So I've made LID my
 mind to let him do the speakin' in
 thls here debate an I'll do the treat
 in If you fellers II jest go over
 thar behind that clump of bushes
 you'll find my wagon, and in it you'T
 md keg of as fine apple brandy as you ever tasted. Take the tin cup of
 the hook an help yourselves"
 And Johnson sat down. The voters drank and ate at his expense for the
 hour and half he was supposed tc nave spoken, and when the time came for Graham's rejoinder it was dis. covered that he had left the grounds It is almost unnecessary to add that Captain Johnson was.elected by ar enormous majority. y."-Kansas City , Journal

THOSE INDIAN LANDS.
The Hall Breeds and squaw Men Want Il
Retain Control.

One of the most important matters
to engage the attention of Congress
this winter is the imperative demand
for a settlement of Indian Territory af-
fairs, writes a correspondent of the
Boston Transcript from Indian Terri
tory. The. Indian commission, of which
ex-senator Henry L. Dawes is chair
man, was created by an act of Con-
gress in 1893. 1t was at first composed
of three members, Mr.. Dawes, M. H.
Kidd and A. s. McKennon. In 1895 this
commission was enlarged to five mem
bers. and, Kidd having resigned, Pres
ident Cleveland appointed Frank c.
Armstrong, T. B. Cabaniss and A. B.
Montgomery. In the general shaking
up which resulted from the election of
President Mckinley, T. B. Cabaniss
and A. B. Montgomery disappeared,
their places now being filled by James
bixby of Minnesota and Thomas S.
Needle of Illinois. Hence there are
now on the Dawes commission three
Republicans. Messrs. Dawes, Bixby
and Needles, and two Democrats, Nc
kennon and Armstrong.
This commission was appointed for
the purpose of entering into negotia-
lions with the $1,000 citizens of the five
civilized tribes, to bring about an al
iotment in severalty of the tribal lands
noWheld in common; the segregation of
the town sites from the Indian lands

General Grant and General Longstreet
had been schoolmates at West Point, had
graduated the same year, and received
their commissions at the same time. They
had fought among the cactus bushes of
Mexico and had drunk mescal from the
same jug thousand times. 1t was at
Jefferson barracks, near st. Louis, that
Longstreet introduced his cousin, Miss
Julia Dent, TO Grant, and it was Long
street himself who told the young lady of
the worth of his friend. They were mar
ried, and the Georgian was at the wedding.
When they next saw each other it was at
Appomatox. After the formalities of the
surrender were over, General Grant took
General Longstreet to one side and said:
Julia wants to see you. Go home and
see your family and then come and see me,
won't you?" Longstreet promised and he
kept his word. When General Grant be-
came president he asked for his advice and
begged that his former adversary now be
one of his advisers.
Norway and Sweden are having serious
political troubles, and in connection there
with Emperor William is reported to have
said that ''if the Norwegians seek to ac-
complish their ends, will crush Norway,

that the German emperor was chiefly re-
sponsible for the pitiable plight to which
Greece has been brought and esteem for
him will not be increased by his boastful
avowal of the shameful fact.

MIAB DAVIS DEAD.

lie Was "A Leading Vermont Baptist and
Gave, During His Life, over 100000
to the Cause of Religion 49, Helped
Found Vermont Academy aud Chicago
University.
Dea. Mial Davis, GS, one of the leading
Baptists of New England and one of the
founders of Vermont Academy and of Chi
cago university, died in Fitchburg Mass,
Saturday after an illness of ten weeks with
rheumatism of the heart. Funeral services
were held in Fitchburg Tuesday and in the
First Baptist church at Burlington We'd
nesday. Mr.. Davis was born in Dunstable,
Mass, in 1928 and the first l6 years of his
life were spent in that town. After the
death of his father he moved to Nashua,
y. H., and from 1876 to 1850 he divided
his time between working and attending
or teaching school. He went to Burling-
ton in 1858 as bookkeeper for Lawrence
Barnes, wholesale and retail dealer in
lumber, and in 1862 he became a member
of the firm of l.. Barnes & Co., which was
composed of men of wealth and of high
character. After all experience of over
- years in the lumber business, during
which he met with both success and re-
verses, he bought lumber yard in Fitch
burg in 1878 and conducted that business
until his death.
In him the Baptist church had good
friend. In 1851 he and his wife signed
covenant pledgng ten per cent of their
earnings for benevolence, which percent
age was increased in later years, their total
givings amounting to over 100000. Prob
ably no Baptist in Vermont has given so
large proportion of his wealth to Christian
work in the past 40 years as Mial Davis.
About the year 1865 Rev. Nathaniel
Colver, D. D., met by appointment Mial
Davis, Lawrence Barnes and w. w. Cook
and the needs of the West for theological
seminary for young men were discussed.
The three men last named agreed to pay
DR.. Colver $500 year for five years for
the organization and maintenance of such
a school and not long after they paid him
the whole amount pledged-$7500-as the
nucleus for the endowment fund for the
Morgan Park Theological seminary. The
theological department of the Chicago
university thus had its birth among the
green hills of Vermont and in the home of
Mial Davis. He and Mr.. Barnes were
active in the founding of Vermont Acad-
| envy at SaXtons River.
In 1S49 Mr.. Davis married Harriet NJ.
Sherburne of Tyngsboro, Mass. Mrs.
Davis died in 1878 and Mr.. Davis subse-
quently married Mrs. Lucy j. Monroe of
Rutland, this state, who survives him.
