I ' ■ JKRWVS RHEUMATIZ. ICH-I-TA This was the name that. the brakeman scream ed, as our train steamed slowly up to a low, uupalnt ed freight house, at the terminus of the railroad. One ear conveyed the pas sengers, three In number, to this wilderness station. We took up our hags and walked out on the platform. There was no wait ing-room: nor was there even a solitary hackman to whom we might appeal for transportation. If hackmen there had been, we could not have given him or ders where to drive us. The sun win setting. There was no shadow of a hill or tree. Hlowly the prairie changed from green and brown to pale yellow, anil there were no out lines of Irregularity to mark Its outer circumference. A few blanketed Indians stood about, watching their "supplies” with evident anxiety An occasional oath, borrowed from the vocabulary of the white men about them, was all the Knglisb which they uttered or knew. No other building was In sight, save a one-storied red structure Just across what is now, I snpppose, the maiu street in the city of Wichita, Kansas. In the doorway of this red structure, above which wag a sign In black let ters, "Tavern," a woman suddenly ap peared. She beckoned to us in the twilight, and seconded her motions by a shrill cry of "Come over here!" We obeyed, and entered the tavern. Supper was soon provided at a long board table, where we ate with the cowboys and the freight hands. We had corn bread, white bread, canned vegetables anil fresh pork, roasted and fried. Black coffee was served In cracked cups without saucers. We were government employes, on stun wav tfl I'Virt SMI At Wif'hita tho railroad gave place to the stage line. Before daylight we were aroused for breakfast, which was what was left of supper, made into hash. We paid our bill to the landlady, who wrapped our greenbacks in a piece of buckskin and deposited them in a long, hotue kuit stocking which hung from her apron band. The «tage-coach was drawn up to the door by four horses, as gay aud pranc ing steeds as one could wish to see. The vehicle 1'self, a stage-coach of the true overland style, was large and strong, with three seats beside the driver's. The canopy, sides and cushioned seats were of genuine brown leather. Wo started off at high speed. The curly spiiiig buffalo-grass seemed as soft as wool. The ground was un broken taw by the settlements of the prairie-dogs. whose towns uisde almost u continuous city on each side of the trail fur many utiles. The saury ln habitant- were out early, probably In the Interests of farming, siandinR strutglit up and talking to one another, darting out of sight down their door ways, and peeping out ugatu a- sud denly.

By much Hogging from a raw hide instrument, whose like I have nev er seen, they were Induced to plod along. They were thin In flesh, and lame. Now and then we saw early wild cro cuses and canterbury-bells, and the soft, trailing sensitive plant, with Its silken balls spattered with golden dust. There were no more houses only lev el, unbroken plain, with an occasional steep-banked stream, on whose margins grew a sparse fringe of cottonwood trees. A gray wolf trotted out of the tim ber and stared at us. Deer In the dis tance bounded away, while one solitary "prairie schooner" crossed our path, with Its jingling kettles hung low un derneath the wagon, grazing the tips of the grass. "Twenty-live miles beforp another re lay," said the driver, "and It will take us all day.” If the driver had been communica tive the hours might have passed quickly; but he was taciturn. Such pay as he drew from the stage com pany was well earned, for between the stubborn mules and (he sometimes bad road he had a hard time of It. Toward evening we drew up to a lit tle shanty, the first building we had seen for twenty miles, and alighted for supper and to change mules. An old woman Hnd her son kept the house. She was "glad to see me,” she said, "for women don’t come this way much, and I get lonesome.” We hud expected to move on after supper, but the driver came In to say that the relay mule had strayed away, and we should have to wall till morn ing. The old woman was delighted, nor were we sorry. "Staging” was losing Its fascination, and we felt much obliged to the relay mule for running away. "He'll be back bright and early in the morning," said the old woman. "Klnathan, he tied the big dinner-bell onto his neck so's to be sure to find him. To-morrow's Decoration day; did you know it?” she asked, as we sat by the corn-cob fire. We bad almost forgotten it. Our hostess went on: "We always decorate. Klnathan and tne. There ain't any graveyards around here, only just one single soli tary grave.” She wiped her eyes, which had filled with tears. "See it out there, tha^ bit of white loomin’ up close to the barn'” We could distinguish in the gloaming what looked like a headstone, and told her so. "Yes,” she went on. “thut's a grave.

They was going to draft 'em in our town one time, and Jerud he was took with rheumatlz so he was confined to his bed for a month. He was awful sorry, for he did want to fight for his country; ami he said he'd Just as soon be drafted as to vol unteer—It showed how bad they want ed him. “Then another time," she went on, “Squire Smith offered him five hun dred dollars to go as his substitute; and I was willing, for we needed the money bad enough. Jerud got all ready to start, oh peart as could be, but the very lust thing he was took down with the rheumatlz again. Jerud was us good as could be. and us brave; and I’ve seen him stand in the door leaning on his cane and checrlna the boys when they marched away, and saying how he did wish he could go, too. "‘Well, Jerud,' I would say. ‘suppose you start In one of your good spells?' And he'd answer, ‘All right.' Half a dozen times I'd pack up Ills things and get him ready to go, when all of a sudden his rheuinatlz would come back, and he’d have to stay at home. Ho the war passed, and poor Jerud, he sighed when the boys came home, and pretty near almost cried. "Jerud wasn't given to work very much, on account of his rheummtli; but I never laid that up against him. We come out here for the stage com pany five year ago, and done pretty well. Klnatban and I done most of the work, "It always seemed to weigh on Jerud that he hadn't been a soldier. He would alt out on a bench at the door for hours, watching Klnatban and me plant the corn, and huvlng that fur SKATED ON THE QUILT, away look In Ills eyes you hear talked about. And one time he died. We've decorated his grave ever alnce, Just an If he’d been a aoldler.” “Do you have many flowers around here?” we asked. “Ob, no, there ain't no flowers, so to speak. I don’t care much for them lit tle wild things, and I ain't never plant ed any poppy seeds and hollyhocks and geraniums and plnies. I've got some thing In that trunk over there that's better than flowers to decorate graves with.” We looked at the trunk. It was cov ered with calfskin, tanned with the hair on, the fur side out, and studded with brass nails. We wanted to ask what was in it which was “better than dowel's to decorate graves with,” but we restrained our curiosity. That night we went to sleep to dream of grassy mounds and shining concave headstones. It was late in the morning when tlie relay mule was found; but the driver himself had then disappeared, and our starting was postponed. After the breakfast dishes were washed the old woman dressed herself in her old-fash ioned best clothes, put on a bonnet which had been hers "before the war." and sat down by the ancient trunk. We did not talk, for she seemed sad and absent-minded. She unlocked the receptacle which held something better than bowers to decorate graves with, and drew care fully forth a neatly-folded pulrh-work <iuiIt Then she walked slowly out to the grave.

SECRET CUBAN DOCUMENTS MADE PUBLIC. Hrrrftsrj Olney OfTercrl Spain Assistance of the United Statea In Putting llosu the Cuban Rebellion — State Department Secrets Alreil In the Senate. A Decided Stir In the Senate. " a mi i Mil on, May 21.— Documents of state made public disclose the fact that Richard Olney. then secretary of state for the Cleveland administration, of fered Spain the assistance of the I uited States in putting down the • uhan rebellion, a s|u-rtuele made the more humiliating by Spain's refusal to accept tho proffered aid. The offer was made notwithstanding Consul *ieneral Lee's report that the Insur gents were gaining in strength. This was the most startling of the revelations made hy the partial dis closure of the state department's se cret archives. The exposure was made In the Senate by Sena .or ForaUer of Ohio. During the past week the de bate in the Senate lias been pregnant with intimations and innuendoes of reports from United States officials in Culm, held at tin* state department which, if published, would disclose a condition on Cuban soil which would iiiHuencu public opinion in u decided manner. The facts therefore which Senator ForaUer announced, without stating from whom they came, created a decided stir. While one of the Consular rc|sirts I was read without the mime of the author being disclosed, It is stated to be a communication from Consul lien eral Lee, which fully sets forth his Idea of the condition that exists In f '..I.*. MM.-A_a _ ! . A . i . A I lo»v», no (lute being given: “I can not understand the truth of tin' claim that all the provinces of tiie island arc pacified except that of Smith-go de l ulia, because there are more insurgents under arms at this time Ilian at the |>eriod when I first reached tlie island, some ten months ego. and I do not think it u fair infer ence to draw from existing copditions that the war is approaching a termina tion. because In pursuance of an es tablished policy the Insurgents uvoid as far as possible all serious engage ments. “The Impossibility of expelling the Spanish troops from this Island by force of arms is well knowu to them, and they do not propose to risk the lives of their men and the success of their cause upon one or more pitched buttles. I conclude, therefore, that tiie war will drug its weary length along so long as tiie insurgents can dig sustenance from tiie ground on one side, or money lie obtained by the other, witli the continued result of un told human suffering, loss of human life, the murder of innocent men, wo men und children by both sides and the frightful havoc which disease makes in the ranks of soldiers, par ticularly among tiie iinacclimateil Spaniards. “The poverty and distress of the peo ple are increasing, arid the loss of property of all sorts is daily becoming more enormous. No one can fully appreciate the situation without being here in person. The number of poor, distressed, starvlug women, children and old men of alt races have greatly increased in this city within the past few weeks, while in other points on the island the suffering lias been pro portionately great. ” The letter from Secretary Olnev to Spanish Minister De Lome, under date of April 4, |4«rt, is tiie one in which in tervention is suggested. He said his purpose was not at that time to suggest intervention, but that the L'uited States could not contem plate witli complacency another ten years of Cuban insurrection. His sug gestion looked to tiuding a way "to co-operate with Spain in the iinincdi bte pacification of tiie island on such a plan as. leuving Spain tier rigiits of sovereignly, shall yet secure to the people of tiie island all sueii rigiits und powers of loeal self-government as they can reasonably usk.

It was of the give and take order, with sharp parliamen tary fencing. *Tlio main sp.Mohe* of the day were made by Senators For aker of Ohio, ( annnn of I tah. Lind sey of Kentucky and Hoar of Ma«*a> chusetta. Mr. Formur is 0113 ol the Cuban sub committee of tlu committee on foreign relations lie spoke in fa vor of a reference ot the resolution to the committee, but on the dircet ques tion, declared his purpose of support ing the resolution recognizing Cuban belligerency, when it should lie re' ported by the committee. Mr. Cannon was bitter in his denun ciation of Spanisli atrocity, character izing the captain general of Cuba us ‘‘That mail dog Weyler." Mr. Liudsay declared that if thu in formation furnished by I'nlted stales consuls was so shocking as to subject them to danger of assassination If their names were disclosed, it was time to send warships to Cuba mid to termin ate all diplomatic relations with tlmt country. It was developed in tile course of a colloquy between Senators Forakcr, Morgan and Vest, Hint the atule de partment had withheld the names of the I' nited States consuls reporting on the serious condition of affairs iri Culm la-cause It might lead to tliclr massa cre. Mr. Vest declared that Mils pre sun led tile most serious phase of the subject, as it was time to protect our odtclals witli warships if their personal liberty was threatened for making reports to their government. No ac tion on tile resolution was taken, but Mr. M organ said lie Imped to secure a vote to-day on Mr. Male's motion to refer, lie desired to do this, he said, in order that the Cuban resolution might not antagonize the tariff billon Monday. INGALLS TALKS. Tliu Kansas IC« -Hoimtor Score* the Hsn ata Sugar Srlicdui* L'niaorolfull/. Washington, May —In the course of an interview soon after Ills arrival here yesterday for a visit, ex Menator 1 ngalls of Kansas said of the sugar schedule of the Henate tariff blit: ••From the Republican point of view it would be better that Hie tariff bill should fail than that the sugar sched ule should stand. It is the moat brazen and audacious holp-up of the century. "It makes train-robbing respectable, "It has no excuse except the Insa tiable greed and rapacity of the most shameless sound of nliinderers that ever escaped the penitentiary. “Ordinary marauders are content to rob a bunk or swindle a community. These brigands propose to pillage the nation and to compel Congress to be come their accomplice. The trust schedule will defy competition, an nihilate the beet sugar industry and add to the oppressive burdens of every citizen of the I'nlted States, for the avowed purpose of swelling the al ready inordinate gains of a remorse less monopoly. “These are the performances which explain Populism and which, If not re strained, will make anarchy possible.” Of the jail life of Sugar Trust Broker Chapman, Mr. Ingalls said: “In the old, barbarous days, if a common, plain, plug citizen violated the laws and was convicted and sen tenced to imprisonment, he was hustled into the Black Marla with a policeman on the step and turned over to the jailer with unfeeling and inhu muu lack of ceremouy. Rut here, when a man suspected of corrupting legislation defies the Senate and is convicted by due process of law, the execution of the sentence ia deferred till the delinquent has expressed his readiness to endure the penalty'. Ob sequious attendants receive him upon his arrival in the eity as a distinguished guest. He is consulted about the hour when lie prefers to have his incarcera tion begin. A diagram of the prison is submitted to him that lie tnay select tiie most eligible apartments. Persian rugs alleviate the harshness of the stony Hoor.

No. 72. which has for Its lodge room a largo cave In Carter county, eight miles east of Johnson City, says the At. I/OuU fjJobe-Democrat. 80 fascinating Is the home of this lodge that some mmntars of the order In nearby towns have transferred their membership to It. Gap Creek lodge has been holding Its meetings In (his cave for more than a yenr, having rented the subterranean clumber from Ita owner, Dr. Nathaniel Hyder. The lodge has a meml»ershlp of seventy-five, which includes many of the best men In Carter county. This strange lodge room Is located In an elevated strip of woodland. The en trance to It facm the cast, and on ap proach It presents a somber appear ance. which might he considered typ Ical of mysteries that are known only In the hearts of the faithful members of the great secret order. From the entrance It Is twelve feet down an In cline stairway to the first chamber - the anteroom.

N. J. Moat. Of them were staying near shore, as they considered the Ice dangerous at the middle of the pond, where also idle water was fifteen feet deep. Hut Ly man Warren, not so wise us his com oanlons struck out mhIiIciiIv for the middle of the pond. As suddenly the Ice gave way, and in a moment Lyman wus si niggling In the leyswater. He clung to the edge of the brnfcen Ice, hut II was too thin to hold him, and broke off as fast as be caught hold. lie struggled hard to keep his head above water, but If he could swim at all, hi* skates and the coldness of the water prevented him from doing so now. The other boys skated as near aa the yielding Ice would let them, and then for a few momenta looked on in horror at Lyman's struggles. The Ice would not bear a skater on hla legs up to within a dozen feet of where the boy was drowning. There was no pole nor tree, and of course not rope within reach. Hut the boys could not let tbelr companion drown! One of them. I .eon Watson, had heard of the “human chain,” for such rescues, and resolved to put It into operation. Leon lay down on the Ice uear the hole, his head and hands toward Ly man. Then another boy lay down, holding tirinly (.eon's ankles; another lay down and held his ankles, and so ion until the last of the chain were on the perfectly smooth sure Ice close by (he shore. Then Leon worked himself along to the very edge of the hole. IT the Ice broke through with him, so that he should presently find himself in the water, he did not much'care, for he felt sure that the other boys would cling to hint and tlsh both him and Ly man out. But the Ice did not break. Thin ice will often hold up a boy who lies sprawled out on It, with extended arms. Leon worked himself so near that Ly man. .struggling desperately, was able to catch hold of one of his bunds. "Now work hark, and pull tne, boys!" I.eou Nil i M11 •* * l in** iimn iriHiwu, i * n rim, him!" The other boys "put the human chain into operation:" that is to say. they hemau to wrlmxle and draw, aouie whal like a snake, and they drew ilia troys at the end of the chain little by Idle to the edge of the pond. Then they got the drlpplum and half senseless l.yiitun ou Ills feet, and made him dance his way across th« Helds to a house, where he got some warm and dry clothes Then he went home, and nr*! day was apparently non* the 1 worse for his adventure It might be well for boys to gitre a little time, la their wkatinm. to practice ou the "hu man chain Hut they should be cart ful to practice it ou Brnt ice.
