Passed the Senate.

Senator Harris bill for The relief Of
the University ~ Kansas passed tht
senate last week. This is a claim lol
damages against the United State,
growing out Of the cary troubles ID
Kansas preceding the late civil war
The New England EmigranJ Aid Co.,
Massachusetts corporation, was the
original claimant. Tue University Of
Kansas is the assignee Ut The claim.
The material facts aud circum
stances 10 relation TO the claim are
substantially as follows:
On the the 2lSt dag OF May, 1856
the New England Emigrant AID Com
p9ny was the owner IN fee OF two lots
on Massachusetts street, 10 the city oi
Lawrence. on which il had erected d
large and well constructed hotel
thoroughly furnished and equipped
and certain Outbuildings. This hOleI
was three stories high, with a base.
ment, and was known as tue Free
State Hotel,' or Eldridge house. 1t
was said at the time tn have been the
finest hotel west Of St. Louis, and,
together with its furniture and other
buildings. was worth about S25. COO.
On the 9TH day OF May, 1856, the
grand jury Of Douglas county, made
d presentment against this structure,
In which it was set forth that the
same was a nuisance and had "been
constructed with a view to military
occupation and defense, thereby en-
dangerlng the public safety and en-
couraging rebellion ana sedition in
The country" and they thereby
recommended that the nuisance be
abaled.
On the 2lst day OF May, 1855, a dep
uty United States marshal, claiming
to act under the authority Of the
United States district court for the
Territory, assembled a large posse and
razed the structure to the ground.
making IL a total loss.
II seems 10 be clearly demonstrated
that this action OF the grand jury, on
which the deputy United States mar.
shal assumed to act, was uDjustidable,
and the destruction Of the property
by positive and direct orders Of the
officers OF the United States was
therefore clearly unwarrantable.

City Schools.

After careful consideration of all
phases of the question, it has been decid-
ed to not start a beginning class in first
grade next term. No new classes were
begun one year ago. The attendance is
too large to think of taking anyone at
either the Bryant or Washington schools.
While there are few seats at the Emer-
son and Central schools unoccupied, the
taking of new class would cause a COM
plete change in present classes, even to
sending some to different teacher.
The spring term is only ten weeks and
the summer vacation is twelve weeks.
The shortness of term and long vacation
would place those who enter beginning
work this term in same class next year
with those who enter in September. One
year from next June those who would
enter this spring would be no farther adj
vanced than those who enter in Septem-
ber
We will receive those who can enter

The Mems meeting last Sunday was a
pleasant service and one of the most
helpful ever held by the association.
Rev. F. l.. Curry, of Ludington, gave a
practical address on "The Imitation of
Christ" Evangelist Lee, who is a sweet
singer, sang two fine selections. There
was good interest throughout the meeting
and large attendance.
Rev. w. S. Ament will speak at the
Mems meeting next Sunday, subject,
"Improvidence." He will have some
helpful things to say and some interest
ing incidents to relate. The Association
quartet will sing. This is new organiza-
ton and will add much to the attractions
of the meetings
Interest in the membership contest is
increasing. Some attractive printed mat
ter has been issued by the association
and is being circulated with good result.
The present membership is $50 and the
plan is to double it by each member Sc
curing one new member. The contest is
between the Reds and the "Blues"
and the workers on the two sides are
hustlers. Two weeks is the time set for
the contest which will close Monday,
April at 8 p. IN.
The Association is offering fine line
of privileges and some new features are
to be arranged, provided that 100 new
members are secured during this contest.
Now is the time to get in line for this
work, and if every member does his duty
the Owosso Association will be in the
very front ranks of membership and in
huence.

Why is 1t that one man is old and de-
crepid at AS, and another hale and hearty at
so ? 1t depends on the care he takes of
himself. Often mans body gets out of
repar-the trouble grows until 1t lays him
out in bed. Whenever man feels that he
is not as we'll as he ought to be, whenever
he is listless, without energy and without
vitality, whenever finds that he is losing
weight and that his ordinary work gives
him undue fatigue, he needs DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. If he keeps on
working with his liver inactive aud his blood
impure-he keeps his nerves and his body
under constant nervous strain. He will
not he hearty when he is old. The "Golden
Medical Discovery" cures many so-called
diseases because nearly all illness springs
from the same thing-bad digestion and con-
sequent impure blood, The Discovery
makes the appetite good, the digestion
strong, assimilation easy, and the blood
rich and pure.

Cycle Path In Good Condition.

From The Owosso Press
The board of directors of the Owosso
Cycle path held its first meeting for the
season of 1898 last evening at the Y M.
G. A. rooms, and discussed plans for the
extension of the cycle path this spring.
The report of the inspection committee
showed that the three miles of path con-
structed last season had stood the test of
hard winter, and was in excellent con-
dition in face of the fact that it had been
used in many instances for COW path.
The committee gave as its opinion that
sum not to exceed $40 would be suffi-
cient to make all needed repairs and the
necessary steps will be taken to have such
repairs made at once.
The secretary was instructed to secure
500 club buttons for the season of '98 and
committee was appointed to arrange for
the ball and reception to be given by the
club in April.
The members of the board encouraged
by the success that crowned the efforts
OF the club last season are determined
that the path shall be pushed. to Durand
before the close of the season of '9S. They
feel that cycle path building is no longer
an experiment and that since wheelmen
have come to realize the value of a well
constructed path they will not hesitate in
aiding the enterprise by becoming mem
bers of the club.

Democratic leaders are evidently begin
ming to see the error of their ways in re-
gard to the 10 to l proposition Reports
from New York and numerous other states
indicate that there is a disposition, in pre-
pairing for State conventions, to let The ST.
yer question severely alone and branch off
on government by injunction and other
fads of this sort. So strong is this new de-
velopment that Editor Wharton Barker, Of
the Philadelphia American, announces his
belief that the democratic party will
espouse the gold standard in 1900, and in
this opinion he is joined by Chairman
Marion Butler, of North Carolina, pro-
prietor of the Raleigh Caucasian, which
says: SIN 1900 the gold.bug machine will
have full control of the democratic party"
1t is presumed that Mr.. Bryan will, under
those circumstances, cast aside his demo-
cratic disguise and appear in his real color
of populism.

CUBAN MISERY.
Congressman Smith Tells of the Islands
Horrors.


Horrors.
New York, March 16.-Congressman
VIM. Alden Smith, of Michigan. who is
now in Cuba, furnishes the Journal of this
city, under date of March IL, an account of
his journey on the island as follows: "Vast
tracts of desolate and unoccupied territory,
formerly the scene of activity and rich pro-
ductiOn, were in evidence on every hand.
AT MANS the village was entirely de-
stroyed by the ravages of death. AT Jornta,
the scene of the first work of Clara Barton,
the mayor of the city came on board the
train and treated her very cordially, telling
her the situation had been much improved
by her systematic work.
"Vast sugar and tobacco estates had been
burned and destroyed oyer the entire dis
trlct and the smoke of recent fires hung
heavy In the air. Large bands of soldiers
are judicously distributed over the entire
route, and the churches, which seem to be
the only remaining buildings, are used for
barracks.
1--WE were warmly welcomed at Matanzas
by Consul Brice, and under mounted
guard of escort were taken TO the American
Consulate and then to the governor of the
Province of Matanzas, francesca de ARMS,
who, with the mayor of the city of Matanzas
received us warmly at the palace. His af-
fectionate cordially to Miss Barton was in
deed touching. The good she has already
done ia his prevince cannot be estimated
in figures. 1t is sufficient for me to say that
Governor de ARMS told me that when he
took possession of the palace on Nov. Is,
Cubans died of starvation in the streets
fronting the palace. More than 1000 died
in the month of November and the same
number In December and January. He has
rendered us reception at the palace tonight
and the leading Cuban citizens are invited
to meet us.
I'VE went through the hospitals, followed
by great throng of reconcentrados, many
entirely naked and others but half clothed,
begging and crying for help, while within
the most sickening and horrible sights /
ever Witnessed were upon every manu-.
Language Is inadequate TO describe the suf
fering and misery seen here. 1t is suffi-
eient to say that for many weeks in every
hospital in MataDzas the death rate has
averaged ten to twenty day.
1.-THE principal vocation of many healthy
negroes during the last three months has
been delivering wooden boxes, which they
carry along the streets on the tops of their
heads. In these the dead are incased.
Governor de ARMS has twice been SEN
fenced to death during the last two years by
the Weyler government for expressions of
friendship for America and Americans, and
to-day, standing with tears in bis eyes, he
proposed toast to Columbia"
