The twentieth aniversary Dumber of the American Grooer, which was recent ly published, is filled with many inter esting nrtioles showing the progress made in the grocery field in the last 20 years. One of the subjects discUMsed is the difference in prioes during that time. The article begius with the price of gold, saying that ou Sept. 12, 1869, gold sold ut lHoJo'. At that time refined sugar was about double the present cost. The granulated product of B. L. 6 A. Stuart was then quoted at lfi' cents, while that of Havemayor & Elder to-day is S.1 oents. In pork, lard and butter the variation is still more strik ing, while, says tho article, provisions were mnoh more than double the present price. Lard, for example, whioh is now worth 04 and 7 oouts, nt that time brought 17 to 20 cents; pork has fallen from 827 and 830 to 812 and 812.50, and the difference in the price of butter is shown by to-day's quotations of 17 and 20 cents as against 40 and IS cents. Re fined petrolium, which is now at T and 7 4 cents per gallon commanded in 1859 30 and 32- cents a gallon. The prioe of soap has been reduoed ona half. There has been a great reduc tion in spices, owing to the removal of duties on articles which cannot be pro duced in this oonntry. The tea drinker, who iu 1SC9 paid 80 and 90 cent a pound for a low grade of Japan tea, now ob tains the same article for IS and 20 cents so that the consumer may driuk about five pounds of tea for what it cost uirn to drink a pound shortly arter tho war. "We live in an era of cheap food," says the Grocer, "of better food now than formerly. It conies to the oonsnmer iu better 6tyle and condition. Luxuries that only the rich could afford in lNu9 are now go abundant and cheap that the masses can use thmi daily." In ac counting for the difference in prioes the article attributes the change to the re markable Btridea whioh have beeo made in maohinery and transportation during this time. In 189 there were few articlos to be had in canned form, Bud tho price of theae wa exceedingly high. No. 3 can ned tomatoes, plentiful to-day at 85 and 90 cento a dozen, nld then for 82.40 a dozen. Corn in 2 pound oans, which baa gone beging this aeaoon at 50 to 90 cents a dozen, was worth 13 50 and $3.75. In closing, the nrticle says: "We are a busy people, but we earn more money and live better than ever before." is 1 1 1 Tin rni i 1 llclDC-u hi I no Benders. A Says He Was One of the Hundred .Men Who Shot Them. STORY OF A LOS ANGELES MAN: Their Rmties Riddled with Bulleta and 1-eft for the Wolve t. Feed Upon Their Victims. N. Coberly, a laborer of Los Angeles, California, tells a remarkable story of the fate of the famous Bender family of Kansas, and olaims thai he was one of hundred vigilants who bunted dowu the Ileuders and after riddling them with bullots left their bodies unburied on a hillside to be devoured by wild beasts. Coberly states that iu 1872 he waf constable of Havanna township, Mont gomery county Kansas, where the Bend- ers lived and kept tn-rern. A largtf num ber of mysterious murders iu the vicin ity caused the oiti.ens to organize a vig ilance committe. Several suspicious oharaclers wero arrested, but finally young Pender was arrestod and confess ed that his people had murdered a prom inent citizen named York. In relating th(j capture of the Bender family Coberly said: "Young Bender was taken to the banks of Dunn creek not far distant and the vigilants proceed ed towards the Bender tavern. I didn't go with the party to the oreek, but no body ever saw young Bender after thaU, At the tavern tho old couple and Kato were secured and then began a search. Thirteen bodies, including York, were exhumed in the orchard. Ono of these was that of a child buried with its mur dered father, and the little one was evi dently buried alive. A small fealber pillow had been placed over its face with the evident intention of smothoiiu its ories while the dirt was heaved upon it. "After the search was concluded the mode of killing was explained, namely, by placing tho victim seated, with his back to a cloth partition, and then striking the head outlined there with an ax. Old man Bender, the old woman and Kale were loaded iu their own wi.g ou and headed south. I was ono of the 100 men who followed and surrounded the wagon. Reaching Rooky hill, near Coal creek, iu a barren, desolate region a few mih.s from the Bonder tavern, the team was halted, and 100 bullets whizz ed through the air and the three demons were literally riddled by the balls. "The bodies were not bnriod but were thrown among the rocks on the hill side. The vigilants took the baok track and wore all sworn to seoresy. No investi gation of the case was ever made by the Kansas authorities, but you can rest assured that the Bender family will nev er be heard from again in this wo.'td. The next spring three more bodie of murdered men" were found in Dunn creek, and all told, it is believed the Bendeis killed 17 people, including the child buried alive. 1 "ULACIi. HART" CONtmSKS. The lioldier Acknowledges the Shootinjf of Hanker Flicliltein. Besskmkb, Mich., Nov. 14. Reimund Holzhay (Black Bart), on trial for the murder of Banker Fleichbeiu, of Belle ville, III., and tho robbery of the Goge beo stage, took the stand in his owu do fense to-day, and made a confession. Ho admitted that he robbed tho Milwau kee & Northern train six months ago, held up the Wisconsin Ceutral train at Cadett, Wis., a mouth later, waylaid Ihe Gogebto atage and shot Banker Fleich beiu Holzhay says he worked ou tbe Ooonto river for three. years aud then, desiring a change, went to Portland, Or., for a short time. He then veut to the Pugot sound oouutry, where he worked in a mill for five months. Ho also spent eight waeks in riding about the country, and was iu tho went altogether about eight moulhs. While in Washington territory Holzhay said he was injured by his horse falling upon him. and that he laid unconscious for some time after ward, nud that, while his health previous to thiB accident hud been good, since then it had been bad. He could not de scribe just bow, but it affected his whole system, and particularly his head. Or dinarily he felt quite good, hut these bad spells would come over him and laat probably a day, sometimes more. He said that during these spells he fell strange, but could not describe the feel ing. During such spells his actions nud any incidents or occurences taking place at Biioh times were all blank afterward. He had several of these spells sime bis capture, and probably bail a dozen or morr rfinoe his injury. Holzhay said he remembered the day he was arrested and who arrested him. He oould not tell why be held npthestage. Holzhay says he does not remember win) was iu toe Gogebec stage; did not remember seeing Fleichbeiu or the driver, and failed to identify the watch and poelietbook said to have belonged to I'leichbein. He claimed be had nevej seen Fltichbeiu's name on the pocketbook until his atten tion was called to it by Howell. Tho attorney flustrated the prisoner somewhat when he said: "Why did you oarry two guns, knowing you were liable to have one of these spells at any time aud shoot somebody?" Holzhay seemed staggered by the di rectness of the question, but replied: "I carried revolvers to protect myself from wild animals iu the woods. I do not like to leave them anywhere, ns I might not find them again." Holzhay was the only wituess for the defense. When he concluded the de fense rested. HIS OWN DETKCTIVE. A Man Who Fnon Inspector Byriifu'li Hen Too Mow. New York, Nov. 11. Huveral weeks ago a band of six men robbed Richard Goebler, formerly a harbor at Portland, ofSloOO. After waiting for Inspector Byruea's men to arrest the robbers, he became disgusted, and disguising him- self as a longshoreman, started out as his own detective. Tuesday he brought one man into Hie police court. "Inspect or Byrnes and his detectives are too slow to suit me," Goebler aaid. "They are no good. Superintendent Murray put a detective at mydisposal for six weeks, but he was of no use to me. I dispens ed with him and told him that I oould catch the thieves quicker without their assistance. I've got oue of them and I'll catch the whole gang. I ought to bo locked up for being Btich a fool as to be swindled." The man arrested is named Johnson, and is an old bnnoo man. Ho was per sonating a detective at the time of the robbery, raid held Goebler while the oth ers escaped with the money which they had soatohed.

A Number nt ('Manses Made In the ItnleH of Ihe Association. Chioaoo, Nov. 11 At its session to day tho American tint congress took up the matter of amending the rules in re gard to licensing and lining jockeys, and tho disposal of those lines and funds fu tile trainers and jockeys. It was finally concluded that tho rules were good enough, if strictly enforced, so it was de cided to make no change in them. A number of other changes wero made in the rules, among which were the follow ing: Rule 1 was changed so that condi tions referring to maidens shall moan maidens at the time of entry, unless oth erwise specified. Rule 1!) was changed to reau: iv nere no entrance ree is re quired, the declaration must he accom panied by 5 per cent, of first money.' Rulo 21, relating to chance of mum was changed so that no iiHs-ooiation Hhaii reoeive an entry of, or allow a horse whose name had boon changed any where to run on its course.

Acting Commissioner Stone in his an nual report says: I found myself confronted with an enormous amount of unfinished business, left over from former administrations. This great accumulation of official work in arrears I found to result partly from the constantly increasing re turns of 107 local land offices . . and in great part also by the prevalence in the office of mistaken methods and prac tices, which, in my judgement, bad the effect of obstructing rather than facili tating the proper transaotiou of business. I consider it the true policy for the Genera! Laud Oiiiee to discard all un necessary work, all round-about methods of procedure in seeking the desired prac tical results, namely, final examinations and patents, in tho shortest time and by tlio most direct methods possible consis tent with the proper execution, of the laws, The claims of our pioneer settlers up on public lands were (by the late ad ministration) arbitrarily suspended and their adjustment indefinitely postponed, without authority of law or department al approval to support it. This attempted nullification of the laud laws was received with indignation, and exoited universal complaint, from all portions of tho oouutry, led to the nocuunilation of unadjusted claims to a burdensome extent in the General Land Ufiioo, and greatly discouraged siottlruienls upon tho public- domain. Tho claimant' rigbts in many cases, at'er years of vexatious delays and after being established by contest, was sub ject to slill further hindrance of uu ex amination before n special board, organ in'l outside ot any legal provision for its existence, before which the final de cisions of the highest tribunal known to tho Department were to bo reviewed and passed upon ns to their true import and eil'ect before eutrles ootid he put into actual course of patenting. The pi aelice of the office now is, aud always should have been, not to cancel an entry, or hold it in suspension, upon merely technical grounds, or upon mere suspicion of fraud, but to determine every citsn upon ils real merits, iu a spir it liberal to the extent ot the law, the bona fide of the settlor being presumed, unless ovidonno to the contrary appear. The vhol.)lo arraignment of claim ants on the public iloniidij should not have been inado without the most con clusive evidence to sustain it. It con tains in lorpicss terms, without discrimi nation and without exception, a charge I of the gravest character, against these hardy and courageous pioneers of our advancing civilization well oalculatcd to challenge tho credulity of the lowest or der of Aimv iiain intellect. It affords loo infinite pleasure, Mr. Secretary, to inform you that during my more than four months of intimate con nection with the duties of this office I have found no evidence of general mis oondiict, on the part of our western set tlers. During tho year there wero issued, for lands classed ns. agricultural, 70.111 pat ents, being an increase of 22,9,11 over the numhor issued tho year preceding. Tin-re were 91:1 patents forminoral lands, and 155 coal patents issued. There were patented or certified to railroads 425,-0-KI.02 acres. Under tho swamp-lund grants 2511,721. '15 acres wore patented. l.'12,.'150,(ll acres wore approved as slate selections. Miscellaneous patents were issued for 159,:i90.2i). In connection with the disoiissiflu of tin? question of a I'orfMiiro ot lands op- iio nle portions of roads built out of time, I desire to call attention to another plui-io of the forfeiture question about which, it seems to mo there should bono dilforenco of opinion. I refer to such portions of tho Innd-granls as arc Cuter minus ',,-ilh those portions of roads still uuooniplolo.nl. Fully ,ri,(l;);),tlll() acres of land might lie restored to the public do main by tin imnicdiato declaration of such I'oifcilores. Tlio growing scarcity of public lands and tin incivasing pres mire of population upon the. diminishing domain of tho government itnlionlo that, il would bo the part of wise sialosmau ship to provide for tho needs of tlio peo ple as far as possible, It would seem thai the roads bavo had all tho indulg ence which justice and fair iloaliug would di'iiiand. Tli tiroat'st ilillii-ully tlio special ".''tits have to contend with is to pro euro the, attend. inco of their witnesses at the hearings b-'fore the local land officers. This may in- attributed to Ihreo causes: (I.) lotiioi.latiori of government wit-m-sses by partjo-i interested in the lan 1 in ili'ptito; (2.) i'invi!liiiificss of parlies to b-cijfy ,'.;aiost their neighbors openly; io.J Io;l,;i',o-oico of parties who think limy Iwvb il.tirt niiiMigli w;..in they give tho agent tho information ou which to base his report. Ai a i',-mo,ly for ihisevi!, I earnestly recti! omen I that congress lie asked to pass a law giving registers and receivers au thority to isnu) Hubpomas compelling witir ,'!-cs I ' appear In a'ore Ihem to tes tify ia land cases; ami, in case of failure to answer the .summons, thai tin. register and receiver certify such fact to the United .Slates district Judge, to whom ant hoi ity should lo given to lino such persons for eon'enipt of court in refusing to respt nd to the summons. If such au thority were givou it would ho of incal culable aHsislate-o to the government in Milling a stop to the fraudulent acqui sition of public laud, utel of groat aid to individual contestants, who sour times fail liccause of their inability to cause the attendance of material witnesses; and, lor tie1 satoo reasons as with enn-t'-stanls, it is but justice that claimants should have the benefit of the law. t The law regulating the mile of ooaj lands should also be amended by mak ing it a felony for any person to enter into a contract or an agreement having for its object the entry of said lands or the appropriation or reservation of the same by means of coal declaratory state ments, for the use or benefit of s person other than the nominal claimant. THE GOLD BRICK GAME. The Police of Port Townsend Frustrate the Schemes of the Operators. Port Townsend, Nov. 15. The cold briok confidence game was nearly work- ed on William Bishop, the hop king, of Jefferson county, to-doy, by a brace of operators. One of the gang. Thomas Kearns, was disguised as an Indian, and purported to know a secret mine in Col orado, where gold was as plentiful as dewdrops, Henry Gordon, an aooomplioe, assisted the supposed Indian, who exhib ited a gold briok which stood ' the test, and was alleged to be worth $1000. Bishop held secret consultations and had arranged to pay lf500 for the briok to-day. The conferonoe between the trio near town attraoted the suspicion of the police. Kearns and Gordon were ar rested for vagrants, and when searched were supplied with numerous male, fe male and Indian disguises. They inad vertently ' confessed the gold brick scheme, whioh led to an investiaution with the foregoing results. Bishop has lived among the Indians thirty years. EXPORTING AMERICAN BEEF.

In January of tho present year Mr. Peb bles went to Nov Mexico and contracted for two herds whioh are now being driv en to Kit Carson ou the Kansas l'aoifio railroad.
