When Grant Wa. Poor.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Eenerai w: ii. l.. Barnes, one of the
leaders OF the San Francisco bar, at a
recent meeting of the California commando

which Is said never before 70 have been
printed. 1t was told years ago to General
barnes by Captain Richard l. Ogden once
clerk In the office of the United States
erai Barnes recently copied 1t from Captain
Ogder's diary.
II was that when Grant resigned his COM
mission as captain. at the age Of g. being
then In Oregon, ne went to San Francisco
on his way home and presented to Captain
Ogden q certificate for per diem service
on court-martial, amounting to about so.
The certihcate was incorrectly drawn, and
Grant. with look of despair, asked Cap
tain Ogden's permission to sleep on the
lounge in the latter's office. saying he had
not a cent to his name, He slept on the
ricxety office lounge. and Ogden agreed to
1t back to Oregon for correction. Grant
had expected to buy passage for himself
to New York in the steerage but Ogden
went with him to the Pacific mail steam
ship office and procured for him a cabin
passage pass. or what was the nearest to
1t the steamship company could give. for
Grant had to pay his railroad fare across
the isthmus. This. however, left him Us.

PURE BEER BILL MISSING.
CHILLY" Ryder's Pet Measure Nowhere
to Be Found-Snme Bill Was
Stolen in 1895.

Jefferson City, No.. Feb. 2o.-(Special) }
General BILLY" Ryder's pure beer bill is
missing and all efforts toward locating it
have been unsuccessful. The bill was stoI-
en- two years ago and kept out of the house
for over a month, when it was returned as
mysteriously as it disappeared. 1t was too
Notwithstanding the adverse report of a
majority of the committee on criminal ju-
.risprudence, to which the bill was referred
800 copies of it were ordered printed by the
house. The clerk who has charge of bills
ordered printed claims that he sent it to
the state printer, along with a number of
other bills, but the members of the Tribune
Company, which does the public printing
say that it did not reach them.
Judge w. H.Thomas, representative from
Douglas county, who had the bill in
charge, has been hunting for 1t during the
past two days, but he has been unable to
find 1t. He says that he was anxious to
have it printed, so that he could bring it
before the convention in the interest of
good roads that will assemble in this city
next week. AS previously stated, the bill
imposes tax upon brewers, which is to be
expended in making macadamized roads
throughout the state.
The bill was held back by a ma jority of
the committee for three weeks, and it was
with the utmost difficulty that its friends
succeeded in getting 1t before the house in
order that they might have it printed In
the meantime, there were little circum-
stances that pointed to a determination up-
on the part of the brewers to kill it. If the
bill Is not reproduced, there will be a live
ly time in the house when 1t is reached
upon the calendar.

NO GULF ROAD CONFERENCE.
luton Providing for an Inter- q
Legislative Conference.

Topeka. Kas., Feb. 2O.-(Special) The
house to-day voted down the concurrent
resolution providing for the appointment
of committee to confer with similar
committee from Texas and Oklahoma, with
a view of building railroad to the Gulf.
The Republicans and the conservative eIe-
ment of the Populists opposed the meas
ure, claiming that no possible good could be
accomplished. Lambert. of Lyon, said that
the only reason the thing was suggested
was to give few Populists a chance TO go
to Galveston and get a vacation.
ITO get drink, did you say?" inquired
Botkin.
Yes, a drink, too," responded Lambert.
A vote was taken on the resolution and it
was defeated
This leaves the Kansas legislature in a
peculiar position. 1t took the initiative in
this matter by adopting resolution ask
ing the Texas and Oklahoma legislatures
to appoint committees for conference on
this matter. Those legislatures have ap-
pointed their committees and now the
Kansas Legislature has refused TO appoint
one. The vote by which the resolution was
lost to-day will likely be reconsidered Tues
day and adopted.
