re-establish it, principally obtained by the
efforts of Mrs. Brown while her husband
was imprisoned as a traitor. Further aid
is needed, and Mrs. Brown intends to spend
the winter in the Western States, and will
call upon the friends of Freedom for sub
scriptions. The Herald says ftES e
awe trust she will be received every
where as the representative of this Office
To Mrs. BIS energy the public are indebt-
ed for the temperance of the Herald q
Freedom at this time. Until quiet is re-
stored in Kansas, on her will devolve most
of our duties in the States, as We have no
desire to run the gauntlet of the Missouri
river again. Mrs. Brown pledges herself
to step into the breach, and continue the
publication of our journal, should violence
befall US which should incapacitate us
from pursuing our duties" @
The Herald thus speaks of the donation
of Cleyeland's enterprising and liberal pa
per manufacturers: .''
'Youngiove & Hoyt paper manufactu-
rers, of Cleveland, Ohio, gave US Sl25 in
printing paper; it being the same on which
this number of the Herald is issued. The
friends of the cause in the States should
extend to these manufacturers their pat
ronage, for this generous donation"
Mr.. Brown, proprietor of the Herald Of
Frceaoaa, has erected monument to the
Border Ruffians in front of his Office. The
heavy iron frames of the presses destroyed
are placed on blocks of the imposing stone,
which was New England granite. One
side of the press is inscribed-"Destroyed
by Border Rufians, May 2lst. 1885,"
The ladies of Lawrence have presented
Mr.. Brown with beautiful flag, in appro-
baton of his conduct as an editor, and as
a fitting momento of the times. 1t waves
from the Office of the Herald, in place Of
the bloody lone star planted there by the
Border Ruffians in May.
The Herald states that trade has entire
ly stopped between Kansas City, Mo-, and
the Free State settlers in Kansas, and ad-
vises all to avoid Westport and Kansas
City Business men ship their freight to
Leavenworth City, and traders pass on to
that point, avoiding Kansas City and West
port as though infested with the plague
The mail arrangements between Lawrence
and st: Louis are now quite regular.
The Herald expresses qualification that
Col. Summer is on his way to Kansas 10
take charge of his command. He will SUI
percede Col. Cook. Col. Sumner has
been East since early in July on leave ol
absence. st
An office is to be opened in Lawrence
to give information concerning claims to
emigrants on their first arrival, and to fur
nish agents to go with them to select 10
cation.
Mechanics of all kinds are needed in Kan
sas. There is a large and increasing pop
ulation of agriculturists scattering over the
Territory, and a'good supply of profession
al men and merchants. The Herald states
that people sleep on pole bedsteads, or on
the floor, or on the ground. Any mechan-
ical business started will be found almost
without opposition.
Josiah Miller, one of the editors of the
Kansas Free State, journal mobbed te
death by the Border Ruffians, and who was
himself arrested by gang of South Caro-
lima outlaws in May last, tried before
Stringfellow's mock court, and finally re-
leased after his proving that he was not an
abolitionist, has returned 10 Lawrence from
Iowa. Col. Delahay, editor of the Free
State paper at Topeka destroyed by mob,
is at Alton, ILL.,, with his family, and de-
signs returning to Kansas as soon as the
state of the Territory will justify his doing
so. -
The Herald of the sth has intelligence
that several cases Of outrage have recently
occurred in the southern part of Kansas
Bodies Of. armed men from Missouri follow
ed upon the heels of Gov. Geary and his
troops, and committed various depredations
on the Free State settlers. A party Of
twenty-five persons from WISCONSIN, search
ing for claimes in the vicinity of Ossawato-
mie, were beset two nights ia succession
by bodies of armed men. The attacking
party was repelled. No lives lost.
Mr.. ]. w. H. Golden, who recently left
the hospital in Lawrence, for the East, be-
came alarmed for his safety in consequence
of the threats of the border rufians on
board the steamer Omaha, and while delir-
ious Jumped overheard and was lost. The
Herald Of the 8th, relates another base
murder, and calls upon Gov. Geary to in
quire into the facts, and punish the gang
of outlaws. 1t says:
GA Free State Settler residing on the
Ottowa Greek, on Saturday last, while
travelling on the highway towards West
port Mo-, for provisions, was beset near
Rogers residence, at the head of Bull
Creek, was robbed, then shot and left for
dead. The ball entered the back, at the
side of the spinal column, and passed
through the body little below the heart.
He was found few days after by party
of teamsters, and was taken to Westport.
There is no probability that he is now liy-
ing. The assassins are said to be party
of Georgans who are encamped in the Vi
cinity, and who are attempting to carry out
their threats of determination against the
Free State Settlers"
1t is reported that Gov. Geary is exerci-
sing his subduing powers by disbanding a
company ofFree State men organized un-
der his instructions at Sugar Mound, and
that he has left the inhabitants of that Vi
cinity in very unprotected situation from
the incursions of the Border Ruffians.
The Herald instances as specimens ofthe
grit of Free State men, that substantial
stone buildings are going up in place of
the dwellings of Judge Wakefield, Mr..
Heath, Capt. Walker, and Others, burned
