With indignation, and ve have to pour

bit Of local news that will prove Of inter-
est to many Of our readers: Hon.
Eugene Ware. commissioner Of pensions,
who 10 also . poet, reached Topeka when
the food was at its best and some Of the
city vas on its way to the sea. We met
him on the train be took out OF Wash
ington and had IN exceedingly pleasant
visit. He doesn't like Washington life
moro than q little bit, and will be glad
when his term Of service expires 20 he
can come back to the bsaming west and
enjoy himself few years before he goes
toa better land than Kansas. Mr.. Ware
knows more about western Nebraska
than o good many Who have lived in the
state all their lives. At the close Of the
civil war he was assigned to military
duty along the Platte and its tributaries
from Fort Kearney west to Laramie,
Wyoming. In those days the Sioux and
Arapahoe and Cheyenne Indians we're
very offensive, frequently catching and
scalping the overland emiRrants just to
hear them shrek. In his several years
Of active frontier service General Ware
became acquainted with nearly all the
oldtimers along the trail. OF the Colum-
bus contingent he remembers Major
Frank North, Gus G. Bechef, C. A.
Speice, A. J. Arnold. n. K. Turner and
many more. Ont in the far vest he knew
little Sam Watts, the surveyor, j. r
Meagher, the fist station agent at Jules
burg, and Moses Sydenham OF the Star
Of Empire. No wonder q man, so long
accustomed to the Wild, free air Of the
