At a meeting held at Fort Leaven

vation. A committee of five gentle
men from each of the states of Kansas,
Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado,

The idea of erecting a monument to
the memory of the distinguished sol
dier an I statesman meets with hearty
approval by all classes of citizens of the
wet. The je'ectio.i of tho national
grounds at Fort Leaver.sworth is
deemed jvcuiiary appropriate for such j
a purpose.
The committee appointed appeals to
the people of the states and territories
west of the Mississippi for contributions
iu aid of the object in vie w, and it is
suggested:

the purj ose, of so iciiitig funds, which
money, when collected, shad be trans

of the G. A. II. for the state in which
it was collected, and b- him transmitted
to' the Treasurer of the Monument
Committee, Captain F. H. Hathaway,
TJ S. A.. Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.
Third, that citizens', committees be
formed in every city, town and school
district throughout the territory named
who shall cod'Ct funds and forward
the sanv! to the Treasurer.
Fourth, that the State and Ten itorial
SnprrintenUents throughout the' .coun
try west of the Misdss ppi be earnestly
requested to address ail the. schools
within thei jurisdiction, and request
that on some day to be designated by
th - Sup ruitendejvts- a. codectioo Vie
tiken among the school childr.-n," The
amounts thus raised to bo forwarded to
the State- S.ip.-rititeJideiits and by them
transmitted to tne Tien surer.
Fifth, that the ! active co-opperation
of all religions denominations be in
voked, and that they be asked to make
similir collections on a ttay to be fixed
bv' the Bishop?, or other presiding au
thorities. Sixth, the county, city, town and
ch altered toip rations, business 1'rins
an 1 industrial associations throughout
the territory name I bv. requested to
raise a fund for the monument.
Seventh, contributions to the Mon
ument Fund will be received from the
otheers and soldiers of . the Regular
Army by post and company comman
ders, and by them transmitted' to the
Treasurer o the Monument Committee,
Captain F. II.' Hathaway, U. S. A., at
Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.
It is proposed that, in all cases where
a fund is raised by the special efforts of
any b :dy of citizens, civic, military cr
religions, as by the Grand Army, the
school-, anv leligtous organization, the
railroad employe the Regular Army,
etc., tint the f ctsh;:ll be specially ac
knowledged, i! a 'memorial stone War

One dificulty which our troops labor
under in their pursuit of the Aoaches
has just been illustrated in the ex
perience of Lieut. Davis. This officer
was on a hot trail iu Sonora, with his
company of Indian sciut and two
troops ut the Fourth Cavelry, when
the Indians unexpectedly halted and
asked for a council. When Lieut.
Davis refused this and urged them on
half a dozen cf them moved ofF to the
tolls and were fired iton by the cavalry,
who killed three and caused the rest to
surrender. If to the natural difficul
ties of pursuit is added treachery or in
difference on the part of Indian allies,
no wonder that success is hard to
achieve. One consolation for Lieut-
Da vis's disappointment is found in the
tiict that Lhatto, the ctnei oi scouts,
was among those killed. He was a
leader in previous outbreak?, and it
was his camp that Gen. Uroofc captured
in the Sierra Madres. With Chiefs
