-The multitude of mortgages oa farms
;in Kansas, held by capitalists of the
east, says an exchange, are causing alarm
" and likely to lead to much litigation. A
stay law to prevent the foreclosure of
the mortgages and sale of the lands has
..been proposed by .some, and a bill has
been introduced in the legislature pro
viding for a period of three years during
which the foreclosed property may be
redeemed; the deed in the meantime,
imrtyafl of being handed over to the
' 'mortgageesto be held for the- interim
by the register of deeds. It is stated
that at least 5,000 mortgaged farms in
central western Kansas have been aban

There, has been no little aapriety on the
.part of the numerous republicans re-'
garding the bestowal of the patronage
in-other words the appointment to of
fices, under the incoming administration.
X paragraph has been, going the rounds
of the papers that looks like a sensible
way, an& is credited to President-elect
Harrison. The amount of.it is that all
v applicants will be referred to the depart
ment where they properly -belong; each
member of the cabinet will properly
.-, classify the applicants .and when ap
:pointmenta are to be made; the ooagres
" akmal delegation will . be called upon to
name the persons from the list of eligi-
JbAaa. The. delegation is thus made re
apoasible for the appointments.
This echeme assumes that each de
partment of the government, presided
over by a "cabinet oScer, mustbe left
jpretty much to itself for details of adr.
Biinistration, beihg responsibJe to the
chief exeomtive for the general success
of the department; that there are many
persona equally well qualified to' fill the
i ogees of the country and that out of the
number of these who may apply, theco-
: greasional delegation are best able to
- judge of general fitness, because they
are naturally supposed to know
about it.
In this view of the case the chief
re-
abilities are with the congressional
of the several states, and if
they wish to escape just censure for bad
or ill-advised appointments, it will be
necessary for them to make recommen
dations somewhat on merit at least, aad
wW mainly or wholly upon supposed
'in elections. It very often
i happened, anyhow, that" the mdrrid-

atitaaatsXhaowas his saoceas to him
self oaly, his ability, his clear-cut, re

to the dutiei of the great ofice
which he has held.
His visit to Liaoola last week was an
treat. Representative hall was pecked
with people eager to hear him. We
print the Omaha Republican's report of
his speech:
"After the applause had subsided the
Senator expiaaied his very high ap
preciation of :the splendid compliment
paid him in the prompt and unanimous
lenomination ana election tendered him.
He read from maaascript a polished and
pertinent address, which was listened to
with profound attention. He referred
to the dangers of the centralizing ten
dencies of the times, whereby national
authority eeems liable to wipe out state
lines, sad akr the . dangers from cor
porate corxupuon anawuiHuww. ne
then reviewed at length tlwTegislatioh
ia which he .had participated, including
the passing of pension bills which were
vetoed by an uaappreciative executive.
He mentioned the passageof the Omaha
posfaawce building-, airopriation,-the
TniV.fr of Tfawnia a port of entry, and a
aamber of measures of .state interest
He hadas a member of the committee on
tenitonee, endeavored- to ; aid South
Dakota tofenter the Union, but the bill
had been merged into'' the democratic
Oainibua bill, a legislation vehicle too
flfll to travel anotiiMiaf iilly. He spoke of
NewMacieoand Utah as unworthy of
statehood, but hoped that tbe.Dakotas,
laTontaha -Wyomingr -Washington .aad
Idaho would yet beaaminea oy.inis
congress. If not, then.it is pertain that
the fiftybat congress will not. be long in
granting them their rights. " '."'"
The Senator Tef erred at length to his
efforts in behalf of the old soldiers and
the blocking of legislation by the house,
but he predicted that the next congress
will not long permit those hills to be
suppressed.
His reference to the death of Generals
Grant, Sheridan and Logan was very
eloquent. He described with fine effect
how tbeHawmsking Sheridan the equal
of Grant and Sherman' in" rank, was
passed and the bill taken to the dying
soldier and ins mitniui wue.
Tariff legislation was referred to in de
tail, special -mention being made of the
duty on lumber, and-also .on sugar.. 'He.
thought the reduction of 25 per cent, of
the duty on lumber a valuable concession
and. would show that .further reductions
are necessary. He urged' the value of
improvingkthe beet sugar interests; of
tne siaie ana nauon, quoting bu.hbi.cs,
ahowing;how the beet sugar' industry
has1 mown up in Germany -and- Prance,
and insisted that we want aJittle of this
in ours.' He had. therefore, .advocated
and voted for a bounty of -.one cent per
pound on beet sugar made in 'this
country.
He had voted for the inter-state com
merce law. which thoucrh imperfect.
would in time "become -a eolation of the'
problems of transportation: ' '-.s
He spoke emphatically against monop
olies and trusts '.like the sugar, steel, oil
and other " combinations, and said no
sack organization should be permitted
to dictate what. people should pay
where they should buy of what they
should take when they 'sell He de
clared that the American Indian must
learn industry and cannot be permitted
to occupy vast areas of the most val
uable domain which he .makes.no .use of
whatever. They should be compelled to
dissolve the tribal relation and . adopt
the wave of civilization. - For these
reasons he had supported the-Oklohbma
bflL
' He condemned in the severest terms
the mismanagement of the land office by
Cornn.iaannt.er Sparks, whereby incal
culable damase has been done to Ne
braska and the west. Sparks practically
tied up all uncompleted titles west of
we JUSBOUZi Jiver anu.noruiK wbuwui
line of Ktnnas The people had been
treated as dishonest and corrupt. .. Spies
had swarmed all over this region.: ..And
instead of 90 per cent, of the entries
being fraudulent, as alleged bySparka,
inveetisation ahowed .that -less than I
per cent, were so.
The Nebraakaadekgation had all done
well to secure the removal of these dis
abilities, bat no one had done more than
the Hon. James Laird. (Applause.
The Senator spoke about an hour in
all, and held the large audience in the
most profound 'attention. At the con
clusion of his address' he received an
ovation of applause." -.-

BECOLLECTIOKS OF AN 'OLD SETTLER.
.After thePawneee were placed on their
reservation at Genoa .they were passing
back and forth and camping in different
places and naturally did some stealing.
They had been committing depredations
on 'the Quinn boysj living near where
John Haney now resides, and they, bep
came' very much "exasperated and one of.
then discovering a young Indian steal
ing corn from Ms crib, shot him dead.
A body of Indians came down from the
reservation and demanded the surrender
of the person who did the .tilling, to
them. Anumber of men from Colum
bus and below, hearing of it were on the
around 'nearly as- soon as the Indians
they compromised by accepting .a. pony
and two sacks oi flour as lull satisfac
tion. At one time, when Jacob Outer
was employed by Mrs. Raker at the
American hotel," the Indians had been in
the habit of breaking into his house on
his farm "and taking what they could
find and' it becoming in time very mo-1
notonouByJacobputanair-sackor flour
there through which- he had diffused a
quantity of strychnine.-: A party of In
dians were encamped in Martin Heintz's
timber and shortly .afterward an Indian
on : horseback .rode furiously into, town
with' a dollar .bill fir his Jiand"and'was
very anxious' to interview's doctor, and
succeeding in inducing one to go to the'
camp. Several squaws and papooses, as
well as "a -dog; were- exhibiting unmis
takable evidencee .of -having partaken of
the -poison.- The, unfortunate- canine
succumbed, but -. the., pappooses and
squaws recovered. .
Ih the -spring of 1869 'the Pawnees'
seemed to become embittered toward
the 'whites. Some of the more lawless
of the young menwhile down in Kansas
'committed some depredations on the
whites and-aeveral were killed -by the
setttersthere and -they .wanted revenge.
Some- depredations were committed on
Upper Shell.creek near ewman Grove
by J.ndian8,resumably:Sioux,,but pos
sibly committed by Pawnees oh. their
credit. Some stock was killed, one un
fortunate woman was shot and another
outraged, and a company of soldiers was'
stationed near there during that year.
Edward' McMurty was a resident of
Butler county and a brother-in-law of
Randall Grant who was killed by Robert
WOson.. On the 8th.day of May of that
year he started from his home to come
to Columbus on foot and failed to re
turn. Geo. D. Grant started out to look
for him, and was able to track him,
owing to a peculiarity of one of his
boots, across the south channel and for
some distance on the Island where they
were no longer-found. It was the opin
ion of his frieoae that he had been foully
dealt with,-and as-a number of the
Ohowee band of the Pawnees were at
that tine encamped on the Island, sus
pioibnjpointed in that direction. When
Mrs. Eliza .Phillips, who tnen lived on
her farm across the. Loup, heard of the
disappasrance,rahe. stated. that on that
day. she saw from her house some In
dians on Jthe Island chasing a man who
was trying to run away from them, but
supposing them all to be Indians, had
not thowghtanuch of it at the time: On
the 19th of JuneaS'Mr. Perry and Mr.
Rice were on the. Island, they found in a

A WEEK IN CHIGAOO.
Its IaeMeats aa4 .ssppealaga.
,, "V WKDMaSDAY.
Yesterday's walk in the fresh outdoor
seems to have accomplished good results
as we feel unusualTy bright and wall this
morning; but tlw outlook for today is
not one calculated to retain that feeling,'.
as we are going to see the Board of Trade
this morning and to the matinee in the
afternoon'. We must trust ourselves
again to the tender mercies of "Yerke's
f barouche," and if. we -are fortaaate"
enougli to meet with no mishaps aaa tner
"shoestring' hangs togetherwe shall get
aown tnere just as tne Hoard opens.
The building 8tands.right.at the foot of
La Salle street and is justly one of the
structures to which Chicago pointawith
pride. It was built only about five years
ago and ia-of -Maine "granite. .-A tower
rears: heavenward to the. height at 320
feet surrounded by a circle of eleotric
lights which are plainly visible in Michigan-
City; Ind, a distance of 40 miles.
The diaLof the clock in this tower ia 13
feet in diameter and the machinery that
guides those mighty heads takes up a
space' as large as a small room. After
passing through the massive doors and
the marble vestibule we stand in the
main halL -Three huge "pits," as they
are termed, for wheat; corn, and provis
ions, cover considerable, of the floor.
Here and there are the tickers, reporting
outside exchanges, and posted about are
the blackboards, containing the market
reports which must herald the news of a
gain or loss. It m a few-minutes early
and we will go up into the visitors' gal
lery, as none but members are allowed
upon the floor. Leading off from the
gallery are the reading and .smoking
rooms, the great, large windows of which
overlook, the busiest portion of the city.
The. private offices are situated at .the
extreme other ehd-oron.tne floors above.
From where we sit we command a view
'of this entire hall: and did you notice,
the whole ceiling is of stained glass and
the -sunlight entering through throws
the many colored light in softest tints
all about on the green and white marble,
which comprises the floor and walls.
I Standing about in little groups are the
"bulls" and "Dears," as they are called,
talking in low tones, discussing the out
look for wheat or corn; but all wear that
same ' careworn look which inevitably
stamps the Hoard of Trade man. See
him when or where you will and this is
almost unmistakable. Do you wonder
at it? Rut the gong of a .great, bell
starts us and then the hurrying hither
and yon, to this pit and to that and the
howling and yelling which ensues is
maddening. We cant talk anymore for
we Cant 'possibly hear ourselves think.
The wheaf pit -is crowded and. men are
raising their arms, thrusting their hands
is each other's faces, some with two and
othera with three,', at the same : time
shouting the price at which they want to
buy or sell With at least 1.000 men in
I the -various pits all crying at 'the same
time, now they can possibly understand
each otherwill always remain a mystery.
The signs' are' in this way: one finger
raised is 5,000 bushels; two fingers 10,000;
three.fingers 20,1)00; four fingers 60,000;
and the whole fist 100,00a When they
bring the arm toward them they wish to
buy, and if the arm is thrust away from
them it signifies to sell. Now and then
a little messenger boy tears frantically
into the midst of this din and grabbing
some man by the coat-tail delivers a
message into his hand and then rushes
away." A perfect stranger coming into
this place, not knowing where he was or
what to expect, would feel convinced
that he was trapped in some aristocratic
lunatic asylum and that this howling
mob represented the pet boarders escap
ed -ttom their.. keepers. .. The session
closes at 1 o'clock so as the gong is rung
again the hubbub ceases 'and once more
the men assume the air of rational
beings, and quietly walk over to the
blackboards, some to find themselves
many hundred dollars richer in worldly
goods and so many to find. Jhe fatal re
port which means poverty in the-end;
and the. "bulls" and "bears,? who a
moment, before seemed ready and even
anxious to tear each other's hair put are
next seen leisurely strolling around the
corner arm in arm to "see a man." We
will take a hurried journey up into the
tower. Of course we are escorted about
by a member of the Roard, or we should
not even be allowed admittance to the
building, much less to the tower, as it is
necessary to have the keys before these
mysteries can be opened to us. The
'membership, to the Board was at one
time as high as $4500 when-it was loca
ted in the old building: but ill luck has
seemed to hover over the new edifice and
now they have depreciated to $100.
The assessments to each member annu
ally is about 90 and the expenses for a
year average a little over $200,000. Rut
the elevator comes to a sudden, halt and
we are. left to. perform the remainder of
the journey on foot. - A flight of circular
iron stairs windiwr ss'huzh as we can see
r greets the eye and a feeling 'of awful
discouragement creeps up at the bare
idea of what lays before us. Climbing
higher and higher the blessed vision of a
landing meets our eye 'and thenrwe'are
on again till at length we come to a door
and opening this we stand in the room
where the machinery of the dock is
placed. Here we rest awhile tb view
these wonderful works which cost $5,000
and were built -by the Seth Thomas
Clock:. Co, - of Connecticut. Rat three
more flight of stairs await us and having
gained the top a door leads out upon the
balcony which encircles the very summit
of this tower and from which we com
mand a view of a radius of 25 miles.
Looking down upon the streets the peo
ple seem like little specs and the horses
like tiny flies. Oh! how it does depre
ciate one's opinion of this world to look
down upon it cromso nign.
Rut it is now after 1 .o'clock and we
must hurry-to our luncheon and get
over to the matinee before 2 o'clock. We
will lunch at Kinsley's which is to Chi
cago what Delmpnico's is to New York.
The luncheon is most delightfully served
but we can hardly wait to do it justice
as we want to gat over to the tasatrfi in
time to have a feed look at the beauti
ful, building before tha' cartain nasi.
Two matinees are given each weak, on.
Wednesday, and Saturday, and perform
ances every night. Soma of the' minor
theatres indulge m Sunday matin oca,

Two baloonies are the rule, tha first
liaiag.oooupisd by as fiae people aa ait
down stairs, but the second and top
being what ia known aa the "niggers'
gallery" and the goal of the riff-raff. The
prices range in this manner: seats down
stairs in the orchestra circle are $L50;
dress circle $100; front row in the first
balcony $100; for eight rows bade of
that 75 cento; remainder 50 cents; gaU
lery 25 cents. The. boxes, of which there
are about 24, bring according to location,
from $10 to $20. These boxes are per
fect gems, the draperies being of differ
ent shades of plush and all ornamental
of, brass. The chairs are gorgeous with
gold and plush, and some boxes in the
city are even studded with imitation
precious stones. All this under the
glare of the brilliant lights, makes it
almost dreamlike. Many of the theatres
are finished in one predominant color,
all woodwork, draperies and. upholstery
in the one shade. Some- in terra-cotta,
mahogany, chocolate, cream or goblin.
All shades are worked into the effects of
this one,-and it gives it a most brilliant
aspect. The ceiling' is painted a most
delicate blue, to represent the sky, with
lovely little cherubs carrying garlands
of roses. From the center is suspended
a column, from which shoots no lees than
fifty incandescent lights. Tha ceiling of
one of the theatres is studded with thaee
lights, which: presents the appearaaoa of
so many stars. .The drop curtain in this
theatre represents two pretty maidens
in' a country scene playing; with six little
cupids and trying to coax them over a
high fence which intervenes. The sub
ject is a most dainty one and certainly
received justice from the hands of the
able scenic artist The orchestra, num
bering about twenty, are playing lively,
pretty music and as the curtain rises the
.music ceases and from that time it is one
continual surprise in scenic effects till
the dose. To try to give any graphio
description would be impossible in the
limited space, but suffice it to' say that it
is simply indescribable. ' We sit en
chanted at the magical effects, and when
the curtain drops for the final time we
feel as if we were coming back from fairy
land into a dirty city. Surely the streets
do look unusually dirty and everything
unusually commonplace after our so
journ in enchanted land. And instead
of a fairy coach we will comedown to an
ordinary cable, and after living over
again the experiences of last Saturday
we are landed safely at hornet still think
ing of all the splendor, fine dothes and
diamonds we have seen and the aristo
crats we encountered. -
