nal vsv of thinking for himself. be
thought the measure just, and continued
10 fight until 1t became law Every
interest of the great state OF Illinois ls
we'll cared tor by Senator Cullom. he
Is in touch with the masses and ls tne
friend of the whole people. The If inter
oats ia his Prominent cOlored men the
country over have always regarded him
and found him the friend Of the Negro
st ali times and under all circum-
stances, He has always advocated legis-
Iation that would better the condition OF
the coIored people, and has always
taken advanced ground in regard to
the duty of the American people to
those whom they had kept in slavery.
On January 10Th he presented pc
titlon from the colored citizens, asking
for the protection Of theit civil and po-
liticsl rights. In referring the petition
to the Judiciary Committee, Senator
CuIlOm saiG:
"The petition technically simply calls
for the execution of law. I happen to
know from the gentleman who sends
the petition, and who Is at the head OF
an organization, a gentleman by the
name Of Dr. Msgee, of Chicago, that
they desire such legislation, if 1t does
not already exist, as will protect col
ored people from lynching and murder
without the authority Of law. [ merely
desire to call the attention OF the chair
man Of the Committee on the Judiciary
to the petition in the hope that that
committee may be able to do some
thing that will, under the lead OF the
Senator, give grsa:er protection to the
Colored people of this country in their
rights as citizens"
Every colored man in Illinois ought
tosee that friends of Senator'Cullom are
nominated for the legislature. Not only
the Colored, but all the people. He Is
the friend Of the masses.

Here is the latest story of the man
who is to stingy to take his home
paper, says the Kansas Item: "a man
who was too economical to take this
paper sent his little boy to borrow the
copy taken by his neighbor. In his
haste the boy ran over 81 stand of
bees and in ten minutes looked like q
warty summer squash. His cries
reached his father, who ran to his as
sistance, and failing to notice q barbed
wire fence, ran into it, breaking it
down, cutting handful of flesh from
his anatomy and running q 81 pair of
pants. The old COW took advantage of
the gap i'm the fence and got into the
corn field and killed herself eating
green corn. Hearing the racket, the
wife ran, upset a four-gallOn churn full
of rich cream into basket of kittens,
drowning the whole litter. In the
hurry she dropped a 81 set of false
teeth. The baby left alone crawled
through the spilled cream and into the
parlor, running brand new $40 carpet.
During the excitement the oldest
daughter ran away with the hired
man; the dog broke up eleven setting
hens, and the;calves got out and chew ed
the tails off four fine shirts"

tempted to use them in some of the first
battles here and some of them were
armed with the crossbow, but they never
got close enough to our boys to do much
execution. The bOlo is a short, heavy
sword, very similar to the Cuban mach
cite. Uusually the blade is eighteen
inches long and one and one-half inches
wide. When come home 1 shall bring
some of these weapons with me.
We have been under marching orders
for some time and all the other companies
of the regiment have already been moved
to different places, but we are trained in"
and may be water and mud-bound"
through the rainy season. The scouts
were out this morning to town five
miles; and Such rl0e! Inc muO ana
water was belly deep to the horses all the
way, except two creeks, across which we
had to swim. We saw bands Of natives
waddling through the mud above their
knees, and how they got through some
places is puzzle; but they were dressed
for the occasion, the men wearing moth
ing but shirt, the tail tied between their
legs, and the women wearing dresses,
which were pulled back between their
legs and made fast at the waist. At a
little distance they had the appearance of
a company dressed in the old blOOmer
costume with skirts very much curtailed;
but they are enabled to get through the
mud.
A company of 100 instructors, up in
the mountains, are very angry because
the people around here have surrendered
their guns. They have threatened to kill
the preSidentie, padre and three captains
who surrendered to us. After killing
these on the quiet they pretend they are
going to attack us, but they can never get
in here without our knowing it,as we have
every road and mountain pass guarded,
and if they succeed in getting in they may
have trouble in getting out. But while
they may assasinate some of those who
we do not think they will
bother us.
