The Mississippi Valley in the Civil
War, by John Fisher, with 90 maps and
plans. In his work the author gives an
exceedingly graphic and interesting mar
rative of the course and significant events
of the war of the Union in the Missis-
sippi Valley. In 1866 the author gave
four lectures in St. Louis in aid of a
fund for erecting a monument to General
Grant. These lectures touched upon
many of the points treated in chapters
l., III, of this work. After an interval
of several years there was a renewed call
for these lectures and in 1895 they were
given at Harvard University. The in
terest thus freshly aroused led the author
to prepare the present volume Tt con-
tains, the author says, "a great deal of
material never got into the lectures ;
some of it written before 1886, some of it
after. The ninth chapter on the crown
ing mercy of Nashville has been added

CAVERN SOCIAL" AGAIN.
Many Young People Explore the
Wonders

The Young Peoples Christian Endeav-
or society OF the First Congregational
church gave another unique and novel
entertainment in the church at the cor
ner of Seventh and Harrison streets last
evening. It was termed an under
ground cavern social and many sur
prises awaited the many curious adven-
turers who attempted to explore under
ground regions
An electrical thunder storm was pro-
duced and made to seem quite realistic.
This was accomplished by flashes OF
electricity for the lightning and shaking
sheet iron for thunder
The journey began in Hobgoblin cave,
a dark save filled with strange weird
looking and gT1nning pumpkin faces. The
furnace had red cloth placed at the doors
and lights placed inside which gave an
appearance of a very hot fire Red
Robin was here and did efficient work
with the ice cream ladle.
Every one did their best to become
lost in the long tortuous passages be-
tween the hobgoblin cave and the Cave
of the Winds.
The explorations ended at the Cave
of the Winds and each one who by per-
severance succeeded in reaching the end
of the journey was rewarded by a glass
Of lemonade
The whole was designed and built by
Claude Seaman, a young man who lives
in Topeka and who has proven himself
both ingenious and successful in pr-Oduc-
ing novel electrical effects

died today as the result Of neglect and
exposure.
Mcdonald was a veteran prospector
of Basin, who has resided in that dis
trict for more than twenty years He
was a unique character. For twenty
years he lived alone in a cabin at the
foot OF the Eva May mine, only max
ing occasional visits to Basin for sup
plies
He steadfaStly refused to speak OF
his past life, further than to state that
he was a native Of Scotland, and had
relatives there About a week ago he
was taken sick in his cabin, and re-
moved to Basin for medical treatment
His death was largely due to the hard
ships to which he had voluntarily sub
jected himself. He was between IS and
so years of age, and left a fortune OF
between $50. 900 and $50. 600 in cash, Secn-
rites and mining claims

KANSAS CITY's TROUBLE.
Missouri Pacific Questions Right o.
Federal Court to Interfere.

M1ssour1 racine Questions Right of
Federal Court to Interfere.
An answer has been filed in the United
States district court to the suit brought
by the Kansas City board of trade against
the Missouri Pacific railroad company
The suit was brought by the board of
trade to wipe out the grain arhitraries
which are forcing the shipments of grain
TO other markets The railroads refused
TO withdraw the rates when requested to
DO so by the board of trade and the suit
was filed against the Missouri Pacific
as a test case The arbitraries run from
one to ten cents per 100 pounds and are
exacted by the railroads whenever grain
Is stopped in Kansas City to be shipped to
some other market later on. The attor-
neys for the Missouri Pacific dernur to
the petition of the board of trade and set
forth that the United States court has no
jurisdiction over the matter. If the de-
murrer is overruled the case will be tried
on its merits
The injunction suit which the board of
trade proposed to bring against the Santa
F'e railroad viii not be filed as that road
has practically withdrawn its charge of
= per car on grain delivered to other
roads in Kansas City The Santa Fe will
withdraw the switching charge entirely
when the grain blockade is ended and in
the meantime is exacting the charge only
when the road to which the cars are to
be delivered is holding cars belonging to
the Santa Fe-
