Frontier Defenders.

Fort Riley, Kan, Sept. 16.-What are
supposed to be the bodies of two United
States cavalrymen were buried in the
post cemetery Tuesday afternoon with
military honors.. A few weeks ago a
farmer by the name of J. r. Millsap,
near Corevin. in Harper county, ad-
dressed a letter to the commanding
officer of Fort Leavenworth, in which
he stated that his son, while blowing
near the banks of the Medicine river,
had unearthed two skeletons, together
with the metal parts of a belt and
pair of spurs. Both proved to be of
government issue when examined, while
a few remnants of a blanket that crum-
bled at the touch were also discovered.
The skeletons are supposed to be
those of scouts In search of Camp Sup
ply, which was established in the latter
SOS. They were either lost in the
great blizzard that ragged at that period,
or met their death at. the hands of ma
rauding Comanches.

NOTES OF CATHOLIC CHURCHES

The gospel for tomorrow is from Luke
1iv:16-24. At the time Jesus spoke 20
the Pharisees this parable: certain
man made great supper, and invited
many. And he sent his servant at the
hour of supper TO say to them that Were
invited. that they should come. for now
all things are ready. And they began
all az once TO make excuse. The first
said to him: I have bought a farm, and
I must needs go out and see it; pray
thee, hold me excused. And another
said: ! have bought five yoke OF oxen,
and go to try them; I pray thee. hold
me excused. And another said: 1 have
married a wife. and therefore l cannot
come. And the servant returning told
these things to his lord. Then the mas
ter of the house, being angry, said to his
servant Go out quickly into the streets
and lanes OF the city, and bring in hither
the poor and the feeble. and the blind and
the lame. Ind the servant said: Lord.
II is done as thou hast commanded
and yet there IS room. And the
Lord said to the servant: Go out
into the highways and hedges, and
compel them 10 come in, that my
house may be filed; but I say unto you
that meme of those men that were in
vited shall taste OF my supper.
