posed that Mitchcll's address touched
principally on the pension bill, because
it comes within the scope of his work.
1t was for this purposes that the

Mitchell denounces the Rev. A. r.

Spencer has no connection with the

Negroes Pension Mad.

Oid negroes who were slaves here
before the war are much interested in
the reports going about that they are
TO be pcnsioned b., congress. But
few OF them are left now and they are
all old and feeble. 1t is but nat ural
that they should be interested in what
may make them comfortable during
the lew remaining years Of their lives.
1t is important, though, that their
white friends, whom they served so
faithfully during the four trying years
should guard their old servants against
the undoubtedly fraudulent represen-
tations of money sharks, who under
the prctcnsc Of collecting funds are
going about the country getting money
from deserving negroes under the pre-
text Of having bill passed providin g
for pensions made by an act of con =
grcss.
While it is true some Of these col
cctors are acting in go,n faith to a
certain extent, the majority arc moth
ing more than the lowest type of a
thicl. 1t is not safe to say that funds
are not, and will never be, needed for
the passage of such a bill. No cxpen :
dlture Of money can be made with
propriety in such case as this kind
and the old negroes here and else
where can secure better results by
keeping their money and trusting en-
tirely on the merits Of their cause.
Even negro like S. P. Mitchell,
president of the National Industrial
Council who made speech at Thorn
asville, Ca, advocating the passage
of this pension bill and who secured a
considerable amount of money, not
only from negroes but from white
people as we'll, was subsequently arres-
ted and tried before the mayor. He
was charged with obtaining money by
false pretense but was subsequently re-
leased. The council of which Mitch
ell is president, is benevolent So
ciety incorporated to aid it's members
in time Of sickness or distress, and to
appeal to both state and national gov
ernments for such legislation as may be

Battle Of Sharpsburg.

Thursday was the forty-6rst an.
niversary of the great battle Of Sharps-
burg at Sharpsburg, Md, between the
Federal forces under Gen. Mcclellan
and the Confederates under Gen.
Lee," remarked a veteran yesterday
to reporter for The Grcenville News.
The veteran seemed to live over
again the experience Of the battle
and gave some interesting facts.
"After this BATTLE" he continued,
"there were $4,000 dead on the fields,
the Confederate loss being $4,000 and
the Union 1900. Both sides thought
that they we're defeated and the Fed.
erals began to withdraw. They learn
ed of the retreat Of the Confederates,
however, and followed.
s'The first fight was on the 18th
and both sides spent the next day in
burying their dead. The Confederate
retreat began before dawn on the morn

Il Six Thousand Acre Corn Field.

1t is probable that David Rankin,
Of Tarkio, has this season the biggest
field of corn in the world. 1t contains S
5000 acres. He has had as many as
fifty-two double row cultivators, drawn
each by two mules, at work in the
field at once. Meantime Mr.. Rankin
is not cramped for room in which to
take care of the $4,000 or $4,000 head
of cattle that he fattens every year,
for he has 10000 acres of Atchison
county, besides those on which he is
growing corn.-Kansas City Journal.

A gentleman of Falls City, Neb.,
was recently left $40, 900 by deceased
uncle. AS he is man Of abundant
means his nephews said he ought to
divide the beques. among them. So
insistent and irritating were their en-
treaties that he decided to get rid Of
the money. Drawing $4,000 in gold
from his bank he hired a cab and drove
among the poor districts, distributing
gold pieces until the money was ex-
hausted.

had recovered from their momen-

They fastened to him to pick him
up, as they supposed dead, when to
their utter astonishment he sat up
right and looked bewilderingly about
him. To inquiries he replied that he
was not hurt, "only stunned" but
one man discovered that the fleece

borrowed. The clothing, which had
been torn by electricity, was picked
up and brought to Manitou. Colorado
