The 1110St farnous military post II) the Kansas frontier has, by the pas sage of the Fort Hays bill by 00a gross, been wiped out of exietealaa, rine fort, Willett was for matlY Years the central point Of tixe army 011e10- 1loes against the , redskins, hae for Yeats been deserted. Its. 7,000 aer have been leased to cattlemen and II"' ,splendid timber that Is unequaled le Wester a Kansas has beet) furnishing the settlers with fuel. Nineteou big frame cottages, the officers' homes, the 'barracks and training quarters, have been unOccupied and it 'Ill be a great delight to the people of this section to see them filled with stu- dents of' the State normal school and the State agricultural school, both of which are under the bill to have Urn. ch es there, This fort was the barrier against the Indian raids that marked the last attempts of the redskins to frighten The people of the State. "When the Cheyennes came down from the Northwest the soldiers of Hays, wltli the assistance of those from Wallace and 1-IFtrker, met them and drove them back, saving the lives of thou- sands of settlers. Gen. George For- sythe followed Roman Nose into the Tipper Republican country, and there, with his band of 100 soldiers, was sur- rounded by fully 1,000 of the red - (skins, For three days they were held there, and then were rescued by suc- cor brought by two scouts who escap- ed arid went back to the tort. It was found that the Imprisoned soldier had been more than victors, for they had killed more than a dozen for ev- ery one of their own number that fell. Roman Nose lairaself was among the killed. There was another scare in the lat- ter 70's, when the people as far east as Topeka felt uneasy, but the Indians did not come so far as on the earlier occaaion. It then became apparent that there was no further need of the maintenance of the post, and It was abandoned a few years after. All this time the buildings have stood empty, and the caretaker has had the lonesome task of looking after them. Fort Hays has had an eventful his- tory. It was originally called Fort Fletcher, and was located fourteen miles south of here on the 131g Muddy. One day the creek was swelled by a storm and the waters drove the sol - niers out of the fort. Several colored soldiers who were too slow were drowned, and Gen. Pope ordered the location changed to the present site. The buildings were then erected and improvenaents made. The town of Hays City, which was then founded a short distance to the north, was a rough place, being filled With cowboys and frontiersmen who followed the building of the railioad. The City Council granted thirty-seven saloon licenses the first day that it =et. There were "killers" without number, and oneehe slopes of a little hill were laid the victims of their prowess. It was called Boot Hill, and there lie forty-five of the distinguish- ed gentry who died with their boots on, some being known by their real names and some not. It will never be known who really were laid to rest in the unceremonious fashion of the frontier days, for now it is tbo late to find out. "Wild Bill" was Marshal of the town for a while, until one day he shot three soldiers on the street, and then it was healthier for him to go hence. He went, and was next heard of at Abilene, where he was again Marshah with, a predilection for kill, ing. The most famous event in the his- tory of the fort was the raiding of the army stores in 1809. The government then had a great many stores there and the surplus that could not be cared for at the fort was piled up along the railroad track with twa watchmen to guard it. One of them, John Hays, went across the street one night and entered a saloon to get a drink. As he went in he was met by two soldiers from the foet, who, without provocation, killed Dim. The soldiers were colored and were drunk. They went into a barber shop and broke mirrors and scared the proprie- tor to the roof of his shop. He went to the fort and evlp)n the men were ranged in dress parade by order of the Colonel he picked oe`• the desperadoes. They were taken to Hays and shut up In a cellar that served as a jail, • That night they were taken out by the cit- izens and strung up to the railroad bridge. In 1874 the Ninth Infantry (colored) tried to get even with the town, but in the battle that ensued six of their number were left dead ia the street. There were many other fatalities in the cortlicts between the towh and fort, and he 'soldiers found that they had a town of fighters to deal with. 'The old-timers, like the late Henry Inman and pen: Foesythe, tried their mettle bere and found honor. Now it will be devoted to peece, for the terins of the grant are that the agricultural college and State normal school shall have it for branches of those Instl'u- tions. It is expected that at leaet 201l students will be in attendanee.s--Glob::- Democrat. NVonten Not cowardly. When cowardice is described as a leading feminine attribute somebody 'makes a huge misteke.

If the Government of the United, States be considered merely ae a bus:- ness firm, its stockholders • just now tire pretty well to do, Their wea•th is very large, considering the n.una- ber there are of them. 'The expenses of carrying on trade under the Stars and Stripes seems small when devid- ancl their debts are trifling imle' a. Not many years ago it was aaid that Uncle Sam had land enough to give -every eme a farm. In theory •this is true to -clay, If all Territories in the lJnited States, not even including Alaska and oer so-called new Poseee- sions, were to be divided, there would be a farm of thifty one acres for eacli one, Every man, woman and child pinealthecstcaotuenti,L.y _would own this much Now, since tiae average American family consists of five people, there would be 155 acres to the family. In making these calculations the pop- ulation is estimated at 70,000,000. The area of the United States is 3,600,000 square miles. Not all of this land is good enough to "farm it" on, butannost of it can bemty emiiad,e good enough by Yankee In- g . The value of all the real estate in America is $39,544,333,000. These fig- Dre$ fail to give any definite idea. They are too big. Let us suppose, however, that pure socialism prevail- ed and that this enormous wealth was equally divided. The share ot every individual would be $664,60. The share of every average family would, be $2,824.50. And this does not include personal property, which would greatly increase the sum. These figures are by far the highest to be found in any country in the world. In Great Britain, for instance, each man is a land owner owning to the extent of about $190. British house property would give a share of but about 8300 to every man. Practically, in Great Britain there are few small land-ownere, or none - A leboring man who owns his cob tage is a rarity; one who owns the land on which it stands almost an The taxes which the individual pays seem trifling. All the taxes last year were $471,365.140. The share of each individual was but $6.73. • Britain's taxes during the same period amount- ed to £2 10s. each, or nearly twice that of America. It must also be con- sidered that our rate was unusually • high owing to the expenses of the war. A , good deal of complaint is' heard of the extravagance of the Gov- ernment, but the share of the indiv1d- 21181 is small. The total expenses of the Government last year it divIdea would have placed a burden of $6.68 on the individual. This is a share of the sum of $487,803,000. The individual contributions to the various departments also sound curi- ous in view of the great things which have been accomplished. We are all proud of our navy, which during the past year has been larger and more expensive than ever before. But eaeh individual was only required to con- tribute just sixty cents to raaintain this department and our great fleets of warships. The total expense, to be sure, was $48,099,000. The mainte- nance of the army last year was one of the most expensive items the Gov- ernment has ever called upon to meet. It cost us just $80,000,000. The war with the Philippines and the mainta- pence of an army in Cuba and Porto Rico, besides the regular expense of the department, could be met, how- ever, it each Individual contributed $1.14, The expense of running the en- tire Government cost each of us ex- actly $1.92. The United States, as every one knows, Is the richeat nation in the world. Our bonded debt is $1,032,000,- 000. Each of us is in debt on this scone just $14.74. Looked at in this way • our national debt, large as it Seems, is a trifling thing. The real estate, holdiegs of the individual, ac- cording to this distribution, are alone worth more than forty times his in- debi :clness. It is no wonder that the word considers loaning money to America a good risk. Our country is the land of railroads. As every one knows we have more railroads by far than any other coun- try in the world. The mileage of the United States is 180,000. The share of the individual is J3ee feet of rail. Still another way to state our great wealth is to calculate the amount of gold and silver which woul 0 come to us if all were equally divided. Each of us would have $70 in sliver bullion as his share and $18,50 in solid gold. A Story From 0ibra1tar,. During the war stories • in plenty have been current of the strategems ancl treachery which have imposed upon British officers charged with very serious responsibilitieS. Changing the venue, we have the following story froni Gibraltar. Some time ago it con- sumptive German gentleman arrived there with introductions from influ- ential people in Erieland. The gover- nor and oth:er .oificiels received him hospitably and every consideration possible was shown nim on account of his health, but, of course, he eottld not •be granted permission, as he request- ed, to go to the top of the rock for the sake of the purer air, as tbera, Is regulation that "foreigners" are on no acconnt to be permitted to Walk about the top of the rock." Further' acquaintance, however, with the Ger- man gentleman, throtigh the meditura, of dinners and other Social functions, resulted in a relaxa6lon of the strict rule, and he was granted a pas.
