tween country and town in bad as we'll

Many Senators.

st. Louis. May 16.-Unable to bear
the strain of mental torture which
he says he has suffered since the
grand jury investigation into legisla-
tive boodling was instituted, ex-State
Senator Fred L. Busche went before
Circuit Attorney Folk this afternoon
and made a complete and far-reach-
ing confession of his connection with
corrupt deals extending over period
OF eight years. Busche's declarations
involve several men of prominence,
and he names those who have been
conspicuous at the state capital as
distributors of Doodle. Later Busche
was taken before the grand jury,
where he remained an hour. When he
emerged from the jury room tears
were rolling down his cheeks.
81 had to do these things" said
Busche in reciting his story to the
circuit attorney. "There were cir
cumstances that made a fellow take
it," He, prefaced his remarks by say
ing that all sorts of money was used
four years ago to influence legisla
ton. Money he said twas offered
on pretty nearly everything of inn
portance. The steam and street rail-
road interests were always very
active, and their representatives
paid u.s." Busche proceeded to name
several senators who profited hand
somely from legislation at the 1899
session and included one or two who
are members of the present assembly.
Going back to the Thirty-eighth as
sembly, when the bill to create a
school book commission was one of
the principal issues before the legis-
lature, Busche said that the school
book trust put up big fund. 81 got
$1,000" he said, "and others got just
as much, and some may be more"
>'.On one OCCASION" he said, ''there
was a resolution presented to have
all bills held in committee. I got
$3.50 for holding up that resolution.
Killing bills by smothering them in
committee was very common" he

A RUSH FOR PENSIONS.
Already More Than Twenty Per Cent. OF
the Men Enlisted for the War with
Spain Have Filed Applications.

Washington, May 1s.-Seven years
after the close of the civil war only
six per cent. of the soldiers who
served in the union army had applied
for pensions. Already more than
20 per cent. of the men who enlisted
in the army for the war with Spain
have filed pension applications.
Eleven per cent. of the men who
fought in the .-Tewentieth Kansas
with Funston are on the list of pen
sion applicants. Many regiments
which saw no actual service have a
higher percentage than this, but
even the Twentieth Kansas has far
greater average of men carried on
the application list than the average
of civil war regiments at CORE
spending time after the close of the
war.
