KANSAS WHAT BECAME OF
IT,
To me Editor of The Hadi.on Wis.) Journal
SIR: NV attention has been called by friends in your
city to an article in The Madison Argus the subject
Of certain boxes Of clothing for waded by the ladies Of
Msoion for those emigrants from Wisconsin whose
perience of Sqaster veregnty in snsas Territory
had been disastrous. find The Argus article divided
into FIVE separate exploaOns, covered by captions
ouch as "What becomes of 1t ~ "Who bought the
corhipg1" "What became Of the money! and
"Wh.re is the clothing now / cannot Request you
to insert the whole Of The A1gus article, but fed the
g.t of it to be plain statement that the boxes con-
tibu,ed by the Madison ladies taken to Kansas
"sod by the box at auction" at s. per box, and the
proceeds were seized and devoted to redeem bogus
scrip issued by the Topeka COnren0n to themselves
Tbese statements are subject to some typographical
Inflammation which it will be unnecessarily copy.
And then comes the previous question: "Aha Uherc
al the clothing n0U ?" Our Argus, ranhIing thus
horrible Topeka Convention with Of his eyes, fol-
lows the Madison boxes, with the remaining ninety
nine, and corners them finally in all sorts Of cheap
clothing stores and s)opshops in St. Louis and with
this climax his rhetoric becomes contorted and psinfo
If were necessary for this Committee to take notice
of all the lies which get into some peoples type con-
ceIniDg donations to Kansas their time for other bust
ress would be restricted; and the only offered
for making exception in this case is the expressed
desie Of our friends in Madison that the proper officer
should state the facts in relation to their contribution.
Briefly thus -Four large boxes valued at 400 each,
were shipped last Fall by Mr.. Simeon Mi Ia of sdlson
to the agent of this Committee at Chicago. Said boxes
received here shortly after the close Of naviga
ti0n-the Missouri River closing nearly two weeks
ealer than usual and leaving With 900 boxes
which could o. 90 forward. These were accordingly
placed in store and covered by 9 policy Of iniuranoe
On the opening OF navigation this Spring, they were all
for~aided TO st. Louis, properly marked and num-
beed, the Madieon boxes being Nos go, GIL, 672 and
60 ard directed in accordance with the wishe of the
ooDors. At this writing, the boxes are on the Mis-
soui River some where above Lsxogton and, ii they
should not happen to encounter too many Argases in
that neighborhood, will be accomplishing the good
intended by the benevolent donors very soon serthiS
letter reaches Madison.
1t is presumed that no more ptful fabrication has
come to notice since the organic aion of the Con
mttee than this miserable and snsoby lie of The
Madison Argus All the cothiag for~ aroed to Kansas
through this agency has received my pes'n. i care

has been sotd for any purpose. We have received

if we deemed sdvis.bIe but repeat that none OF 1t
has ever been sold " al auction" or otherwise. We
cannot even crafty this editor with the intelligence
tha, the Aadson boxes have fallen among his brethren
in Wettern Missouri The statement OF the The Argus
would have psssed without notice into tne vortex
whittier distinguished company have preceded it,
but for its studied nalguty and ofensveness to the
charitable ladies who forwarded the Madison contrbu-
ton and this must be our excuse for occupying the
columns of your Journal.
Our Wisconsin detective urges the ladies to good
