The senate took op the sundry civil
bilL Among the many amendments
agreed to wm on inserting 1333,500 for
isn proving, extending and repairing the
raalta in the Imwrr building and for
com Erecting new vaults of safes there.
An amendment inserting $500,000 for
w tabliahing in Washington a Latin-Am-
erieao memorial library, the aite to be
elected by the aecre'.ary of state, and
building to be erected under hia direc
tion and supervision, baring been
reached. Vest oppoaed it aa part of the
sentimental programme to secure cotn
merce with South American states. It
wai nonsense to expect that any glam
oar oould be thrown over the aubject in
the way of aentiment that would bring
auch trade. Besides there waa now be
ing erected a magnificent library build
ing at a ooet of 16.000,000 and certain
rooma in that building might be dedi
cated to the purpose indicated in the
amendment,
Hawley concurred with everything
Vest said. It would be better to take a
action or branch of the congressional
library and entitle it La tin -American.
Senator Stewart, of Nevada, U very
much annoyed at a proposition coming
to him from hia neighboring atate of
California to wipe out the atate of Ne
vada from the Union. It will be shown
from the next oenauathat the atate of
Nevada, instead of increaaing in citizens

Mr. Stewart The coming census will
show the entire population of Nevada is
aomething less than 45,000 souls. The
total vote cast at the last election, ad
mitted to be one of hottest contested
elect ions in Nevada, only amounting to
some lOMO votes. It haa been 'held
that it iar-at disgrace and injustice to the
other states in the union that Nevada,
with only 12,000 voters, should have two
senators. Senator Stewart admita that
the figure appear to be against Ne
vada, but says the explanation liea in
the fact that Nevada ia now a transi
tion atate from a mining to an agricui
tun community and that if given fair
chance she will in time become aa popu
lar tu any of ber sister states. While no
one believes that the population of Ne
vada will ever amount to much, it must
be oocfessed on the other hand that
there ia no method of ousting Nevada
from the union, became tnere ia no pro-
' vision in the constitution by which
ettber toe senate or bouse or Doth can

One day "the Bank,' as w cadet it,
reached Grizzly Slide, says a writer m
imkm York Sun. It was a an Fran
ce broker, escorted by four aaau. Ha
had has of rold coin with him, ana ne
took up our nugget and dnat and paid
us in yellow boys. I suppose a maos
a pretty good thing out of it, but we had
no complaint to make. Only two or
three days previously one of our man,
known to us as Peaceful Sam, had made
a find of a tempting big nugget, and
this, added to bis wash, gave him over
94,000 in handsome coin. He was a
man of 45. bumble and peace jovuig,
and he had a wife beck in Illinois. He
had never said anything about going
home, although he was waiting, uae
the rest of us, for luck, but no sooner
was tbe coin passed over to him than
his bones ached to take the road for
home. He must go over to Johnson's
camp, a distance of sixteen mika, akme,
and from there go down the valley oy
a stage line. Tbe chances were that he
would be held up at tbe trail, and we
argued and coaxed for him to stay.
Next morning, however, be was off,
having 9300 in his pocket and the rest
of his money in hit blanket on bis back.
He never carried a weapon of any sort
and he started on this trip without one.
We never expected to sw him again,
but he was back at night and had a
story to telL He had got about three
mile from camp when a cUanger joiued
him. coming in on the Twer River trail.
Peaceful Sam was no thicken and he
wasn't long in sizing tbe stranger up
as bad.
"Bound for Johnson's?" asked the
man as they walked along.
"For Johnson's and borne
"Made your pile and going back to
tbe old woman, eh?"
"Made 9300 and have concluded to
light out while it lasts. Hannerhaa
been writing for me to come, and if I
can even lay a hundred in her lap it
will be more'n she ever saw before.
Lands! but when I think of hoaia aud
Hanner I can't walk fast 'nuff!"
Tbe stranger didn't show hishsnl
until afternoon. Then, when they
reached S particularly lonesome place,
he suddenly halted, pulled his gun, and
"Give me them 9300 or I'll fill you
with lead:"
"Whatl -Gwine to rob me I" replied
Peaceful, looking as Innocent as an old
cat
"Come down!"
"But think 0' nanner! She's been
wai tin' and waltln', and now if you take
my money I may never see ber."
"D n Hanner! Shell out or I'll pop
you!"
"Hain't you no soul?"
"Nary souL"
"And I've got to shell out?"
"You have."
Peaceful passed him out the 9300 and
then sat down on a stone and pretended
to cry. The stranger counted the coins,
dropped them into bis pocket and
started off, saying:
''You sot right there for an hour, and
then take any road you want to. If you
follow me IH pop you."
He was no sooner around the bend
than Peaceful began scrambling up the
mountain side. By making a short cut
he struck tbe trail again and was just
in time to heave a rock, which struck
the stranger's head and killed him stone
dead on tbe trail; then Peaceful de
scended, took 9760 off tbe body and
started back for our camp. Next morn
ing half a dozen of us went to the spot
with him, and there lay the body,
when we asked Peaceful why he bad
owned up to having 9300 with him he
replied:
"Law, me! but if I hadn't be'd have
suspected I had heap more and shot me
without warning. That's what I cal
kerlated on when I put that sum in my
pocket
"But what possessed you to follow on
and kill him ? You never even struck a
man In all your life.''
"I dunno, gentlemen. I dunno," he
pleaded, nis lips trembling and his chin
quivering with emotion. "I just re
member that I thought of Hanner, and
how them 9300 would put new shingles
on tbe old barn and buy rag carpets for
all over tbe bouse, and fust thing
knew be was lying dead. Lemme git
alone and wrassle with tbe Lord and
see if He won't kinder excuse it off on
Manner s account

Tbe last snaae of the Wichita
erat contains one handred assalfty-
hwrin sale and puMicatton
noticea, the ajaataat Masher w ha v
headof yet m one paper. In the local
colasane of the same paper appears the
following Item:
Mr. August Wagoner committed
suicide at hi home la this dtylast
Friday afternoon by shooting aim
self through tbe head with a revolver,
and was buried on Sunday. The eeuas
of the rash aat attributed to financial
difficulties, which, for the time being.
unbalanced his mind. Ho had at the
time of his death, a suit in the district
court Involving 92,900 which he ex
pected to go against him. Mr. Wagon
er leaves a wife and five children.
Statesman and salaried officers are
not expected to see any analogy be
tween the two items above. But the
msssrs of western producers are becom
ing just familiar enough with the bear
ing of the former upon the totter that
they will take a short cut for some
thing etoe, nor do tbey expect to ac
complish it without making aa occa

relief and heaven help our country

The political shysters in Congress
from some of our agriculture districts
are just now exerting themselves in
wasting their sympathies on the fanner
on account of his pitiable condition, aud
some of our agricultural papers that
ought to see farther into a mills tone
than they do, are lauding them to tbe
skies therefor, forgetting that these
taffy dispensers are merely setUng their
sails to catch the political breezes that
will blow In the near by and bye. Tbe
most of these old' wind-bags are men
who have been in Congress for many
and have done nothing for the farmer,
and by Uwir inactivity are indirectly
responsible for tbe class legislation
that bears most heavily upon him
l lie best thing the farmer of this coun
try can do is to retire these old Urn
political reprobates, who have been ib
Congress these many year and dont
nothing, except get re-elected, and Infust
a little new blood into the comfortabk
berths thus made vacant Pay no at

pathy for the farmer, made in reality tt
