Mail closes at posl-ollice ing resulted in much good for the bonds. It has since been learned that of Ulysses S. Grant. This intelligence, although anticipated for many months, will be received by the people of this state with all the shock ami sorrow of a personal bereavement. For nearly a quarter of a century past, Ulysses S.

Grant has been the first citizen of the United States. His exalted patriotism, his genius as a soldier, his brilliant services as the commander of our armies, his honest and loyal administration of the presidency, and the purity and modesty of his private life these splendid qualities, so signally illustrated during- his whole career, have filled the world with his fame; and the people of every civilized nation will mingle their! tears with those of the citizens of this country around his open grave. As mark of respect for his illustrious memory, the executive council has directed that the state house be draped in mourning for a period of thirty days, and that the executive offices of this stale be closed on the day of his funeral. And I do hereby suggest and request tfiat the people of Kansas assemble, on that day, in churches, school houses, and other places of public assemblage, there to Messrs. Cowley and Bennett were in One of the Largest Business Houses in Southern Kansas.
