Tuesday was a red letter day in our beautiful little neighboring city Claflin, fourteen miles east of us. -The city was alive with men belonging to the "chain gang," and they had no trouble in getting possession of the town, as well as a dozen or more tables loaded down with all the good things imaginable for the inner man. On Tuesday about 100 Odd Fellows from Hoisington, Great Bend, Holly-rood, Geneseo, Bushton, Wilson and Frederick went to Claflin to aid in the institution of an Odd Fellow's lodge in that city and to witness the maneuvers ol the goat on the candidates.

Bruce L. Moses Just as we go to press word reaches this city of a bold attempt to rob the iron box at the depot in Olmitz. It seems lrom the dispatches received that Marshall Smith is implicated in the affair, and is now under arrest. The re-prta. have it that Smith attempted to break down the door, when two passengers awaiting the arrival of tha night train, pulled their guns and lettheloldf bad man have their contents, which frustrated his plans, owing to the wounds received by the sudden discharge of the passengers' guns, and the scheme, whatever it was, failed.

The meager details aiford the above information, but nothing definite is known. We hope the facts will not bear out the reports and that Marshall is innocent of any bad intentions. It is stated also that two or three others are interested in the job, but escaped, and Smith refuses to give anything away. THE PROPOSITION John Hiss and others from the Bend.

BENJAMIN F. Bl'TLEK. Benjamin F. Butler was a man of such transcedent force of character, of so marked originality that it is impossible he should receive exact and impartial justice at the hands of his contemporaries; and there is so much of seeming inconsistency in his life so much of egotism with an honest consciousness of true greatness, so much of sharp practice mingled with profound knowledge and master' of correct principles, that it may be doubted whether he wili fare better at the hands of the most skillful analysts of future generations. It will not be easy to assign him a place in history with confidence, because the usuaf degrees of comparison are wanting.

He was an able and successful lawyer who startled leading jurists by his lack of resect for the traditions of thi law; he was a soldier who achieved more than fair success while lacking technical military education and open I despising the rules deemed essential aI West Point; lie was a statesman or politician, according to the widely divergent estimates of friends or enemies and. he could command a following ii either great political party, as capric or principle swayed him, while hi closest friends woudered whether it wa-caprice or principle. Ordinary standards are wholly inadequate to give the measure of such a man. He was hate-and admired as few men are hated admired, and it mny be said with trut. that not more than two men are living in America whose death would attrac equal attention from theircountrymen and these are the president and president-elect of the United States.

Born in a quiet but substantial 'i-cultural New Hampshire town, he cs left fatherless in inlancy, wus rearti ly a strong-minded mother, was educai. in the common st hools and at a smal. New England college and had gained national reputation as a lawyer belott he was forty years old. This, in tl ordinary course of things, would h' been suffic ient achievement lor a Tie time, but Butler was not ordinary, i his lines were not drawu in oruiuiiy times. The rapid development of a manufacturing city gave him an op n-ing for the exercise of his talents as lawyer; the inevitable conflict betweei the North and South gave him an un tibial oppcrtunitj in another field.

14, 1893, HorsE of Representatives, Cobun of Barton couuty, a Populist, rose ia his seat and said: "We have been rid'ng uj on tl waves of excite-meut here nearly one week. I express the sentiment of a laige majority of oursuieot the house when I say we want to settle lis difficulty. We do not intend to deprive you, of the opposite side of the hcuse, of your rights, nor do vgftpropose that you shall deprive us ol our rights. I say that this can be settled if we can get together free from all outside influence, clear this floor of all persons except members and those who have contests and let us see if we can find some peaceful way out of the trouble. I believe the hole state of Kansas wants to see just such a settlement.

This is no time to publish resolutions calculated to inflame the people, but it is a time for calm thoughts. Therefore. I oiler the following: Resolved, That in the interest of harmony and the hope of a peaceful solution of present difficulties now pending in this house that the house does now adjourn to nt at the hour of 4 o'clock Mon.iay, January 16, lb9'i, with the mutual understanding tiiat no persons shall be admitted to lie floor or galleries except the members and those hav ing contests. On Monday, the 16th, the house met as provided in the foregoing resolution and on motion agreed to hold an informal meeting with the view, if possible, to devise some means to bring about a peaceful solution of present difficulties, which resulted in the appointing of a committee of three from ta li side. The committee so i mediately went into session with the follow-inu resnlts.

After carefully examining all points in dispute, the committee on the part of the Populists presented the following proposition in writing to the committee representing the Republicans to-wit: John Seaton, Col. A. Warner and J. A. Troutman.

We submit the following proposition: That Judge Foster, Judge Horton and Judge Allen be agreed upon as a commission of three, before whom all contest cases shall be submitted for settlement, whose decision shall be final in all cases. This proposition was unanimously rejected by the Republican committeemen. The committee on the part of the Populists then proposed to drop Judge Foster and allow the two remaining judges to select the third one. This proposition was also rejected. The committee then adjourned to meet the following morning, at which time it was decided by common consent that further negotiations were unnecessary, as there was no hope of agreement and the committee so reported.

A little later, at Fortress Monroe, with three runaway negroes brought suddenly before him, he hit upon the happy phrase, "contraband of ir," which determined the government's position toward the slaves during hostilities and opened the way for the ema icipation proclamation. The next year he brought order out ol chaos at New Orleans, relieved the people of impending famine, and by prompt sanitary measures averted yellow fever, the hope of the enemy.
