In order to comply with a request made by some of the correspondents in

last week's paper in regard'-to history, boundary, etc., of each place represented in your valuable paper, we hereby do affirm: Gravelly Kun reaches as far east as New Haven, or Fiat Creek more commonly called, thence west to the neighborhood called Greenwood, then south to Kingsley Chapel, and north as far as East Garfield and environments. We could not ask space, nor could we at present give the history of our picturesque little village, but in regard to our iirst settlers and those who still reside here, they are as honest, industrious, intelligont a people as can be found around or near here. No public buildings tower away toward the sky, and the luxury of a country store and postottice is not ours, Yet a plain, commodious church house built by the Frieuds and the school house near by, are considered an adornment as well as a necessity. The majority of the residents are members of the Friends church, yet some are consistent members of the Methodist, Cainpbellite or Christian, and Presbyterian churches. The Overcoat gravel road extends the length of the neighborhood and over this route our meat, bread, drygoods and groceries are brought to the door. We still lack one thing, which we still hope for, viz: A farmer's free mail delivery. When that is consummated the farmer's life need not be looked upon as an isolated one.

SOLDIERS PRAISED.

Maj. Gen. Miles Makes Hia Report on tbo Strike.

FEDERAL TROOPS ARE C0MPL1MKXTED.

Ho Declares That Tholr Excellent Shutting »nl Helmvlor "Saved tho Country Iron) Serious Rebellion"—Suggestion*.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.—The nnnual report of Maj. Gen. Nelson A. Miles, commanding the department of Missouri, showing the conduct of affairs at that department, is a remarkably short document, considering the Stormy period of internal strife covered by it. But, notwithstanding its brevity, it contains some very terse and significant statements relative to the strike. The report says there have been no changes of troops in the department during the year, and continues as follows: '•As In previous years. tbo troops In tho Indian nnd Oklahoma territories luive been occupied during uiucli of tills time In removing trespassers from the public ltnuls, In preserving order In the newly-settled region uud in keeping the poace between the hostile fuctions of the soml-clvlllzcd Indian tribes. In addition to removing and expelling intruders in the Choctaw nution and from tho Osage and Knwiud reservations tho troops stationed at 1'Oi-lH Keno. Sill and Supply were called on for tho purposo of protecting United States mails, guarding railroad bridges and supporting tho United Stales marshal In making arrests. •'Allot these difllcult duties have boon performed in a maimer which shows good judgment and discretion on tho part of the officers and a good slate of discipline and faithful service on the purl, of tho troops, and it is believed that but for tholr prompt Intervention much bloodshed would have resulted. Tho troop*, having quickly and efficiently accomplished tho arduous duties assigned to thorn, have been withdrawn from tho Held and roturueil to their respeot.ivo stations. "The conduct of tho troops in restoring order and conlldonco when mob violence and a reign of terror existed in Chicago, was marked by great forbearance, fortitude and excellent discipline, and their presence and action there very greatly contributed to the maintenance of civil law. and, In my opinion, saved this country from serious rebolilon when one had been publicly declared to exist by one most revponulble for !'.a existence."

An appendix to tho report is contributed by J. M. Lee, Ninth infantry, assistant to the inspector general, in the shape of a brief history of tho strike movement in Chicago. Tho officer says that he hopes to be able to make a more comprehensive report later on. "covering as fully as possible the operations of the United States troops in this storm center of violence, disorder and arson which at times threatened the overthrow of all law and government." In this report Capt. Lee says: "Throughout all theso perilous times It Is gratifying to state that tho conduot, disclpllno and efficiency of the troops wore so pronounced that oven their presence overawed the turbulent and lawless and won from everv reputable. law-abiding citizen, whether laboring man or capitalist—and every newspaper without exception—the highest encomiums and the warmest expressions of gratitude from all who were not in sympathy with anarchy, arson and pillage."

It is said at the department of justice that substantially the same replies had beeij sent to a number of district attorneys from all sections of the country who had written making inquiry on the subject and that the rule stated by Mr. Olney was an old one from which there had been no deviation ill the replies f-ent in answer to inquiries on the subject.
