left the boat completely stranded.
One night q prairie fire swept over the
plains. driven by a high wind from the
south. The flames raced across the level
meadow lands. down to the waters edge.
The steamer could not move, and burned
with what cargo 1t contained. This 70 prob

After the Legislature had adjourned at
Pawnee a systematic effort was put forth
by the pro-slavery men to destroy the town.
Jefferson Davis. then Secretary Of War,
ordered q new survey Of the Fort Riley
military reserve to be made. n the boun-
daries extended further to the east. This
brought the townsite on Government land,
and nothing but military buildings were
allowed on the reserve. The settlers were
ordered to tear down their houses and leave
at once.
It was late in the fall. and as no new
houses could be built before winter set
in, two or three Of the families refused to
obey the order. Just as cold weather came
on q party Of soldiers came from the fort
and unroofed the houses. and the families
in them were compelled to go without shell

measures $50 feet in diameter by 1000 feet
IN circumference. situated at a height of
32o feet from the ground. This rotunda will

The entire height Of the structure will be

four broad staircases, which also continue
upward to a gallery directly over the main

constructed an iron gallery 20 feet wide and

necessary for construction is from twelve

IT oPEKA. Kas. March 7.-The Kan

State a few acres of ground, now

STANDS nothing but an old structure. roof
less and crumbling. with a yawning hole
near the center of one of the end walls.
1t is such a building as only bats would
voluntarily inhabit, and yet it Is one of
the most historic places of the West. 1t
was the first capitol OF Kansas. and a
Aecene of the beginning of those struggles
which led to the Civil War.
The hole in the wall? There Is nothing
much to that, except that it remains as a
gaping monument to the failure of the
United States troops to knock It into a
pile Of Old bricks with a cannon ball.
But the building itself is interesting, and
at last the State has decided to make an
attempt to preserve II as a bit of the Wis
fble history of this great commonwealth.
The old capitol stands close by the Union
Pacific Railroad track. about three miles
east Of Fort Riley Station. vet there is
nothing to indicate to travellers between
Kansas City and Denver that. 1t has any
history. save that 1t was builded by man
and then left by him to fall away.
The building was erected in 1856. Around
1t where now are only meadows from
which the Government cuts its hay, was
a prosperous town-Pawnee, first capital
of Kansas-which its founders believed
would some day be the metropolis Of the
great West.
During those days the thoughts OF the
nation were conferred upon Kansas. The
great death struggle of slavery began with
the contest for supremacy in the new ter
ritory. Men emigrated from all over the
North, but more particularly from Ohio and
Massachusetts. to make Kansas a free
State; and just as many poured in from
the South through the gateway of Missouri.

HOW PAwNEE CAME
TO BE FOUNDED.
The territory was organized in 1854. ana
A. H. Reeder. an Ohio man, was appointed
as it's first Governor. Until late in that
year It was expected by the proslavery men
that the seat of government of the terri
tory would be Shawnee Mission. near the
injunction of the kaw with the Missouri.

Every burner in the range was turned on

The War Department then ordered all
buildings not connected with the fort to
be RACED to the ground. A cannon was
planted on a hill overlooking the town and
crashed through the end of the structure,
but for some reason no more were fired,
and the old building still stands to mark
the location of the first capital Of Kansas.

LINSEED MEAL CRUEL.
It Is Declared to Be an Excellent and
Nutritious Milk Substitute
for Calves.

We are often asked for advice as 10
tns best substitute to use when there
is not sutficiency of fresh new milk to
be given to calves, says Dairy and
Creamery. In our own experience we
have not found anything better than
mucilage or soup made up of linseed
meal or ground linseed cake, with the
addition of a little flour and pea meal.
An American breeder, in the course
Of communication to one of our Goa
temporaries, claims to have obtained
excellent results from the use of a
preparation made by slowly boiling
one pound of fresh sweet hay in six
quarts of water for about an hour.
and straining the decoction so obtained
into a bucket to cool. A handful of oil
cake and similar quantity of fine
oatmeal is stirred into half gallon OF
boiling water and allowed to simmer
for the same length of time that the
hay is stewing. At the end of that
time this mixture is added to the hay
tea, and the whole given to the calf
along with a little milk. The .tea"
should be given warm It first, but after
awhile. when the calf becomes ac-
customed to it, it may be given quite
cold without any injurious results. The
allowance of oil cake may be increased
as age progresses. The writer in ques-
ton claims that calves so reared are
