patriotic citizen to see that it is not

A very pretty illustration of connu-

lately connected with the nesting OF a
pair of grosneaks near Il window of
our home where they may be watched.
Both birds helped build the nest, and
during the incubating period the male
bird put in most of his time OH Il par

their hungry mouths, he was on deck
with plenty of fat grubs. This hus-

A friend OF ours. the owner of as
good a farm in the central west as any
man could wish for, was tempted to
sell it about three months ago because
he was offered 500 per acre more for it
than he had ever thought it could be
worth. he has been hunting since
pretty steadily to find another place
which would suit him as well and fail
ed. He cannot get his money out on
interest ut any higher rate than 5 per
cent and confidentially tells us that
he was the biggest fool in four states
when he let go the old farm. There
are others just like him.

Mormon Elders Organize Church
in LeavenwOrth County.
Missionaries Secure About One
Hundred Converts.
HAVE 4 TABERNACLE.
Big Meeting Held Sunday With
Four Elders Presiding.
Many of the Settlement Favor
Going to Utah.
HAVE A TABERNACLE.

Leavenworth. March 13--The Mormon
elders have succeeded in organizing a
strong church in the western part of the
county near Jay. The missionaries Sc
cured about 100 converts and a big meet
ing was held a few miles north of
Springda1e Sunday.
Saturday four Mormon elders dressed
in their long, black. sombre garments
got off the L. X. & w. train at Easton
After making a few inquiries. the four
missionaries started across the country
on foot toward Springdale, where The
Mormon church has been started.
These four men had come from some
far off Mormon settlement to be pres
ent at the first big meeting Of the new
congregation.
Some time ago. a subscription was
started among the members of the new
faith and a sufficient amount was raised
to build a tabernacle. It has just
about reached completion, and the meet
ing was preparatory to its dedication.
Most of the converts to the faith of
Brigham Young are said to be in IA
vor of going to Salt Lake City and it is
very probable that the whole neighbor-
hood will pack up and silently steal
away to the land where a Mormon is
held in higher estimation than the ex-
ponents Of the creed are held in Leav-
enworth county.
Among the most prominent members
Of the newly organized Mormon church
are several members of Squire Hills
VIII and Henry HaSty and family, Lige
Adams and family, William Sparks and
family, John Adams and family, and
Jim Clnkenbeard and family.

RACING Ar NEW ORLEANS.
Henry Clay Rye, Ridden by Cochran,
Won Crescent City Derby.

New Orleans, March 1S.-The $4,000
Crescent City Derby was a horse race
from start to finish and though at the
finish the victory rested with an out
slider, Henry Clay Rye, the result was
very popular. The Morris colt, Choice,
was scratched during the morning, and
this eliminated an important factor.
Wild Pirate, generally at s to 5, and
Varro, who was backed from Is to to
8, divided the betting honors- Tom
Stevens pair, Piccador and Siddons,
were coupled at IS and receded to IS.
while Henry Clay Rye's price was as
extremely liberal and so much money
came IN on F'essenden's colt that his
price was cut to IS, though it eventually
went back to los. Hanswurst was friend
less at 80 to I. The parade to the post
was watched with absorbing interest
At the post the six horses wheeled in
a bunch, with all Strengthened, and
Starter Fitzgerald sprung the barrier
instantly, sending them off to a beautiful
start. In the first furl0ng, Cochran took
Henry Clay Rye to the front, and at the
quarter opened up a gap Of a length,
Varro second and the favorite, Wild
Pirate third and coming fast. Down the
half mile Cochran took his mount back
there was a hot contest between Wild
Pirate and Earro, each leading in turn.
Turning into the stretch CaywOOd was
forced to ride Varro hard while Van
Dusen looked forward confidently to the
end. Cochran, who had nursed his horse
carefully while the leaders were racing
themselves to exhaustion, swung into
the middle of the track as they turned
and wore Wild Pirate down to the run

HUGH CAMERON WENT.
Kansas Hermit Thinks Enough of Ex-
President to Attend Funeral.

Lawrence, March 1S.-Gen. Hugh s.
Cameron, the Kansas hermit, who lives
on his farm at Cameron's bluff a few
miles north of Lawrence, left Saturday
afternoon for Indianapolis to attend the
funeral of es-President Harrison. Out of
respect to the man whom Cameron re-
sarded above all other men the unique
attire of the hermit was discarded and
q clean suit of citizens clothes substitu-
ted for them; the long hair was brushed
back and carefully tucked under a large
felt NAT, and thus Gen. Cameron star ted
on his journey eastward.
Benjamin Harrison was the one friend
IN whom the Kansas hermit placed I'M
olicit faith. On hearing of the nomina-
ton of Harrison for president in 1888
Gen Cameron rode in from his hermit
lonely abode and hurrahed for Harrison.
Later. when Harrison was inaugurated,
Cameron walked to Washington to. see
the ceremony. The hermit has visited
