RELICS on AN cIE m FIGHT.


r.. M Cooper and Charles Cart ,of
Wichita, KAN, unearthed seyeralaold
guns and some human bonesin the sand
hills near Wynoka. o. II, recently and
have brought the cole ection to Wichita.
The men worked on the. Santa Fe5
fence gang and spent Friday in fishing
on the banks Of the Cilnarron river.
Near them was large sand hill. The.
sand in this vicinitysis constantly SHIFT
ed by the wind, as there is no grass to
hold it in place. While walking near
the south side Of the sand hill Mr.. Car
ter noticed the stock of al old-fash-
6ioned gun: sticking up out Of the sand.
He unearthed it and, digging around,
found the locks Of two flintlock mus
xkets, an old fint-lock horse pistol, sew
Seral arm and skull bones, besides some
ribs and a portion Of backbone. Sew
eral persons must have composed the
party that met death there. IN one Of
the skulls was a fattened bullet, show
ing that the man must have been killed.
Mr.. Cooper found a small rib, which
s o Wynoka doctor said belonged to q
child not older than eight or nine years.
Old-timers declare that some border
history has been lost. Some think it
the scene Of fight between immigrants
and Indians, while Others believe q
fight has taken place there between
settlers and border ruffians. 4
Whatever the cause the battle must
have taken place so years ago at least,
as fintlocks have not been used since
that time: A posse is searching for fur.
ther relics of the tragedy. ...

A GREAT LABOR UHOM
The SOO, 900 worlkasen Of New York
CITY TO OrEaajze the DiGGest
order On the Earth.

The organization of a great union Of
SOC, 900 workmen I'm Greater New York
has been begun by committee ap-
pointed by the Central Federated union.
William A. Perrine, secretary of the
iron molders' conference board, and
one of the leading members of the COM
mittee, said: =, =s---.-,
This new union will be the biggest
local central labor body ON the face of
the earth. All the unions in the five
boroughs of New York city will Join.
1t will be more powerful than many
great national and international unions
and will have more influence in one city
than any labor organizat ton which has
ever existed. The business of conduct
ing the big bodies which now exist In
dependently will be greatly facilitated.
Employers also will benefit by the cen-
tralization of central labor unions in
New York city.
Strikes are bound to become fewer
in number year after year, through
the influence of the great central or.
ganization. The principle Of arbitra-
ton will triumph at last. :.
For 20 years the bricklayers' unions
have had no strikes, because all brick
layers have been in, one union. There
are many fine examples of the centrali-
zation to be found in Greater New
York. Ils:z -

orally have soft spot in their hearts
for the genus drummer and do all they

been provided to the end that the

that is particularly appreciated by trav-

tried in others. 1t provides that the
owners of the hotels in each town shall

A premium on old age is involved in
a measure which will be offered for the
consideration Of the British parlia-
ment at it's forthcoming session. It is
proposed to grant pension to every
person in the British empire who is 65
years of age, who has not an income
from any source exceeding 10 shillings
week and who has endeavored to
make provision for himself and those
depending on him. The amount Of the
pension is to vary between shillhgs
and shillings a week, according to the
cost of living in the locality. The meas
ure is said to have influential backing
and is likely to become a law sooner
or later. While there are some objec-
tions to it on the ground that the gov
eminent has no fund from which to
draw the pensions and might be obliged
to resort to higher tariff rates and the
restoration of the corn laws, it is gen.
orally conceded that the plan offers
reasonable solution of the problem of
old age.

1t is reported in the press dispatches
that the eucalyptus tree will be ex-
tensiyely planted in Cuba in the hope
that it will be effectual in removing
malaria. Experiments with this tree
in the countries bordering the Medi-
terranean have shown that it is eff
cacious in ridding the country Of ma
laria. Its beneficial effect in this re-
gard is supposed to be due to the alb
sorption by it's roots Of poisonous mat
ter in the soil and not to any medicinal
exhalation from it's leaves or to alb.
sorption of malarious matter by them.
incidentally it is useful, and it's wood
is valuable. The tree has a phenome
nally rapid growth, attaining great size.
Should the eucalyptus prove as bene-
fetal in the Antilles as it has proved
in the Mediterranean it will help to
transform the low lying portions Of
the island of Cuba, now subject to
malaria, into healthful regions.
