TALES OF TWILIGHT FROM THE
SCENES OF THE RECENT
K ANSAS HORROR.
Condition of the South. — The
London News has a valuable and in
structive letter from a tourist in the
Southern States of this country,
whose views may be regnrded as in)par
tial, and certainly bear the impress of
intelligent observations. Ho reports
thnt the whole South is suffering for
want of mouey to repair its deserted
plantations and broken commerce, that
the taxes aie everywhere in arrears,
and that they are so exorbitant as to
ruin the small landholders. “But,” he
added, “capitalists will not carry tbcir
capital into communities where rascal
ly legislationseizes so much and gives
so little in return. Herein he touches
the vital spot of the whole difficulty.
Ho describes fjte negroes as working,
after th£?r fashion, just enough to keep
starvation from the door, in isolated
settlements. He pictured a well
known weakness of the plantation
hands when he says that “where they
have no pigs or poultry themselves,
they probably live very near somebody
who has, and that answers just ns well.”
The Southern Legislaturesaredescribed
a- “n daily burlesque upon government
nit re monstrous than the extravagances
of Christy’s Minstrels.” He speaks of
the situation as deplorable and melan
choly, but thinks it only a natural re
sult of the great social revolution, and
ltelieves that it will be righted “assoou
as the Government improves.” The
question is, how soon the government
will improve at the present rate ?

land’s last novel.
As the times passes and new light
i3 thrown on the murderous deeds of the
Bender family of fiends the
horror deepens and the crimes com
mitted by these monsters assume even
a darker "hue. New evidei cj are almost
daily developed which show that these
people were not alone in the section
of the State in which they live in their
plots against the lives of way-farers.
Already twelve arre3ts have been
made of people living in the neighbor
hood, and who, there is good reason to
believe, were the accomplice of the
murderers in disposing of the horses
and vehicles of the victims. It is
thought that there are other bodies, in
addition to those that have been found,
concealed in the orchard, only one
part of which has been explored. It
is the purpose of the county authori
ties to continue the search. On Sun
day two special trains were run to the
secne of the murders. Oue went from
Independence and the other from Cof-
feyville. They brought down fully
1,000 sight-seers, who went aliout,
peering into the holes whence the bo
dies bad been taken, and on their re
turn carried away with them pieces
of the wretched shanty which has re
sounded with the moans and groans of
so many murdered men.
The Bender den is admirably situa
ted for the purpose to which the fiends
put It. It is in the northwest corner
of Labette county, and is . so placed
tlnA i£ commands it full viefe of * the
approaches to it for a distance of a
half mile in all directions. Woe, then
to the single traveler who was seen
from its doorways or its windows ap
proaching, for then was the hammer
placed in jmsitinn and the knife sharp
ened to a finer edge against his cotn-
imr. Parties of two or three might
escape, but the solitary stranger was
doomed. The house is nothing hut a
more shanty, twenty-four feet long and
sixteen feet wide. The roof is paint
ed, and not a sig of lath, plaster, or
whitewash is to be seen. The ulterior
is oii£ long room, and while the Ben
ders occupied it was divided off into
two apartments by a white cotton cloth
which hung across the whole length of
it. Ill the front room was a small
counter, and across this counter the
Benders made a pretence of selling gro
ceries. On the other side of the cur
tain was a table, a stove, three chairs,
and a miserable sort of a bed. In the
floor, near the cloth portion, in this
rear room, was a trap-door. Over this
trap-door was placed the chair of the
victim who stopped at the den for
food or refreshments. He was so ar
ranged that iu leaning back the impres
sion of his head and hack was made in
the yielding cloth. The watchful vil
lains—the two male Benders—on the
other side of the curtain, holding the
heavy sledge hammer in tlieir hands,
waited until the guest’s form was thus
outlined. Then with one terrible
blow the victim’s skull would he crus-
ed in, and as the murdered man would
fall forward heavily on the table the
trap-door would lie sprung and the
helpless holy would fall into the cellar
or apperture below. Then would come
the work of the women, which was to
descend, and, with a sharp kuife, to
cut the throat of the unconscious man.
This was the probable courcof even s
that arc ropanied the commission of
the crimes of the Benders. Here and
therein I he walls of the shanty are
visible, however, holes mnde by piste 1
bullets, and it is clear that some of the'r
victims at least made attempts, how
ever ineffectual, to avenge their murder
before consciousness left them. It is
related as among the incidents connec
ted with this death-hole that one night
about three months ago a poor woman
on her way ou foot to Independence,
about fifteen miles distant, stopped at
the shanty and asked its inmates for
food and shelter. She lay on the rude
bed for a while and dropped into an
uneasy sleep. Suddenly she was
awakened by a tap on her shoulder.
She opened her eves and saw before
her the old hag of the place, the wife
of the elder Bender, who pointed to
the table on which lay a glittering
array of knives and pistols,and said sai-
donically, “Look there at your sup
per ; it is ready!’’ The poor woman, w: s
seised with mortal fear, yet managed lo
dissemble her true feelings. Making
an excuse to leave the house, her
fright lieing intensified by the sight of
the beldame passing her finger over
the keen edges of the knives, she pass
ed into the yard. Once out she stag
gered away in the darkness, and so es
caped ; hut, looking hack at intervals,
she could see the door opening and
shutting as the intended murderers
came to it, expecting her return.
One of our exchanges speaking of
James L. Orr, says:
Mr. Orr was a man of ability'. He
was Governor and Judge in his State,
and for a number of terms a Congress
man. During his Congressional career
he was elected Speaker of the House of
Representatives.
ft dimmed the lustre of liis fame by
his Radicalism. Ho had side good
points, hut he was essentially ft dema
gogue. He would not steal, but he
helped into power and supported men
who did. He was a cool, dear headed,
shrewd, but unscrupulous politician.
He defiled a very fair feme by political
prostitution.

WAR
A few t’ays since, in Atlanta, a
party of gentlemen were discussing
whether it was better for the Southern
people to plant cotton and corn, or a]]
cotton. A majority present decided
that it was more profitable to plant all
cotton and buy corn from tne AVes*.
General Toombs, one- of the party,
held that it was most profitable to
plant corn and cotton. He said the
desire to plant nil cotton in the South,
and the various isms at the North, were
wrong. That when he was a boy he
used to study geography; that in
giving the history of a country, would
say tiie people arc mostly miners, or
mostly agriculturists, but that when
another edition is made the description
of the people of the United States
will he “they are mostly fools.” The
General is emphatically in favor of
diversified crops.

the system. To obviate this difficulty physic! us
have long sought for an agent that would Pi iiGK.
ITBiFY AND STRENGTHEN at one and the saute
time. Their research has at last been rew arded by
a discovery which fully realizes the fondest de
sires of the medical faculty, and which is justly
r •garaled as the most im|>ortnnt triumph that
Pharmacy has ever achieved. The important de
sideratum is
Dr. Tntt’s Vegetable Liver Pill.
Which purify the blood and remove all corrupt
humors and unhealthy accumu!ations from the
body, and yet produces no weakness or lassitude
whatever, but oil the contrary, tones the stomach
and invigorates the body during the progress of
their operation. They unite the heretofore irrec
oncilable qualities of a strengthening purgative
and a purifying tonic.
Dr. Tutt’s Pills arc the most active and search
ing medicine in existence. They at once attack
the very root of diseases, and their action is so
prompt that in an hour or so after they are taken
the patient is aware of their £0**1 effects. They
maybe taken at any time without restraint of
diet or occupation; they produce neither nausea,
gri(>ing or debility, and as a family medicine they
have no rival. Price 25 cents a box. Sold by all
druggists. Piincipal office, 18 and 20 Platt street,

It is .pectally alapted to constitutions “worn

Spring and Summer, when tbe blood la not in ac
tive circulation, consequently gathering impuri
ties from sluggishness and imperfect action of the
secretive organs and Is manifested by tumors,
eruptions, blotches, bolls, pustules, scrofula, Ac.
When weary and languid from overwork, and
dullness, drowsiness aui inertia take the place of
energy and vigor, the system needs a tonic to build
it up and help the vital forces regain their recu|>e-
rative power. In the heat of summer, frequently
the liver and spleen do not perform tlieir func
tions. The uterine and urinary organ are inac
tive, producing sreaknem of the stomach and in
testines and a predisposition to billlous derange
ment. '
Dr. Wells’ Extract of Jarubeba
Is prepared directly from the South American
plant, and is peculiarly suited to all these difficul
ties. It will cleanse the vitiated blood, strength
