LUXURIES FOlt THE POOR.
Coat of Living Twenty Years Ago and the
Present Time.
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."

Says He Was One of the Hundred

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

Ho admitted that he robbed tho Milwau

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. When Goebler found
that the New York dectives wore not
equal to the oase, he dyed his red mous
tache black, bought an old pair of stogie
boots, a oheoked jumper and a pair of
overalls, and in this garb hunted the
i fi Jigbborhood of the place whore he Fu st
met the men until he Baw Johnson after
several weeks of waiting, and theu, not
being able to get un officer to arrest
Johuoon, he took him to prison Ifimself,
without assistance.

THE I.A-ND COMMISSIONER'S ItEPOUT.
All Enormous Amount of Cnnnished Rnsiness
Accumulated.
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.
