JlhDINE SIrLCLDEiS-

! Rev. ii. ID. Jardine, the deposed Epis-
copalian clergyman of Kansas City.
committed suicide at St. Louis last
Sunday by lnhaling chloroform. He
was convicted of gross immortality BY
an ecclesiastical court several weeks
ago, but sentence was deferred until
the bishop of the diocese could listen to
a motion for new trial. This motion
was denied last week. Jardine was in
st. Louis the guest of Rey. Belts, the
/ rector of Trinity church Of that CITY.
and roOmed in the vestry of the church
Late Saturday night Belts, JaTdne and
his attorney were in consultation about
the case. When Belts aud the attorney
went away, Jardine crossed the street
to drug store aud purchased an ounce
of chlorofOrm, claiming he wanted it
for toothache. 1t appears that he IN
hailed the poison at once, for the next
morning he could not be awakened.
y curious thing was discovered when
his body was undressed. Extending
around his loins was heavy iron chain,
securely fastened, as though not intend
ed to be removed. No explanation can
be made for this strange freak of this
strange man, other than that given by
his friend, DR.. Belts. He says: las to
/ the reason for wearing it / will state,
although incapable of speaking posi-
lively, yet from his life of severe habits
and self dicipline known to me, I assume
! that it was worn as an act of self dlsci-
| plne."
The life Of this man was a strange
one. When young man, in New York
state, he was convicted of robbery and
served year in penitentiary. When
released he prepared himself for the
ministery and took charge of large
church in st. Louis. In 1879 he went
Kansas City as rector of st. Mary's
church, and here new troubles COM
menced. He insulted little girls and
married women, II is known. He habit
ually used chloroform and at times
turned the sachristy Of his church into
a beer saloon. He was cleared once by
a church committee, when charged
with irregularities, and then he brought
suit for damages against his accusers.
and also sued the Kansas City Times
for exposing him. lie lost the suit
against his accusers and dismissed the
one against the Times, and then the
church took him in charge with the re-
suit as stated.
When Beecher was undergoing sim
liar ordeal I've gave utterance to the
Eow often quoted expression: Il even

Proving Up.

We hear it remarked that settlers are
not complying with the pre-emption
laws. 1t is alleged that some do not
reside on their claims during the six
months required by law, and that others
make but little Improvement. The
trainers of the law certainly designed
that the poor man should have this
land. One of the questions to be an
swered in making final proof, is: Have
you abandoned other lands to take this
presumption? or do you own 800 acres
OF land? The answer must be in the
negative. In short, rich people were
not expected TO seek title to lands here,
and if they are found here at this early
age of settlement they might be regard
ed with suspicion.
The poor man is in the majority here
and might be classified as poor. poorer,
poorest. He left his native country a
poor man seeking home. These men
have made long journeys in covered
wagons, and it is with some degree of
satisfaction that they exchange camp
life on the trail for permanent settle
ment on government land. Here the
struggle begins to decide who is the flu
lars that he possesses forblds extrava-
gence in any department.; he therefore
begins his first act of settlement by ex-

DINGR1CEkIILI

From a gentleman who was on a de-
layed Santa Fe train, at Usage City,
last Friday night, January sth, We learn
Of u most disgraceful scene that Oc-
CURED. The road was snow-bound and
II became necessary to remain at Usage
City from early in the evening until
after midnight. On the train, among
some 800 other passengers, was Nellie
bailey, she of notOTiety, and a fine
looking woman who was with her.
These two, the conductor. and passen-
ger, who was travelling with young
girl, eight years old, took out into town
To visit the rink or some other place, the
train in the meantime being left to take
care of itself. While the conductor was
gone, one of his brakemen went into the
sleeping car and made an outrageous
assault on the little girl. lie was
thwarted in his designs by the passen-
gers, when he escaped TO the baggage
car, where he was protected from the
mob by the train hands.
Soon afterwards, Nellie Bailey and
her crowd returned, and this woman,
who has so long posed Us. the picture of
innocence, went through the train,
where were hundreds of decent people.
men and women, and with bottle OF
whiskey in her hand, she INDUCED in
language too foul TO be repeated here.
Our informant saw her and recognized
her, and he says he never witnessed a
similar sight.
Not only this, but the cars were
turned into drinking saloons and gamb-
ling rooms; men played poker with re-
volvers by their side; hundreds of bot
ties of whiskey and beer were drank;
and oaths, drunkenness and debauchery
reigned for several hours. Here is an
opportunity for the Santa Fe people to
inaugurate Il reform by bouncing that
conductor and every train man who
took part in the disgraceful proceedings,
and by giving up TO the law the man
who made the assault on the little girl.
Our informant is Il reliable business
man of this city, one whose word is as
good as any mans on earth, AID there
are many others who will substantate
his story.

Sol Miller, the sage of the Troy Chief,
breaches New Years sermon in his
paper and among other good things he
says:
You fellows who find yourselves
PraVitating to the saloon early every
morning before breakfast, to get dram
to give you an appetite, as regularly as
cow comes up to be MIXED, will find
the weather just right to swear off.
That Sinking old pipe would be a
good thing to leaye behind. So would
that COB of tobacco that YOU keep
munching and go about SCATTERING. as
if a drove of cattle had just passed
on their way from the pasture.
1t would be good time to surprise
your family's stomaches by treating
them to some luxury. even if you have
TO stint yourself To dozen sinking ci-
garS day.
The year 1856 will be good year to
quit beating honest tradesmen down on
their living prices in order TO save
money for sharpers to swindle you out
of.
Lying might be left behind with the
old year. This would enable a good
many OF you to start off without a grip
sack.
If every man who knew himself to be
hypOcrit would call upon God to slay
him on New Years day, the earth
would reek with suicide.
Above all things do not cucumber
yourself by carrying over what belongs
to oeher people. Therefore pay your
debts.
1t is specially favorable time to pay
the printer"

BID FOR BONDHOLDERS

AtchisOn Champion: The supreme
court of the United States has rendered
decision, which, it is claimed, LETS
OUT any municipality that does not
choose to levy tax to pay a judgment
against itself. This is very marked
departure from the decisions of the
United States courts heretofore, which
have made it rule to decide that any,
thing ia the shape of a bonded obliga-
ton must be met, as in the case from
Cherokee county, Kansas, in which it
was decided that the people must con-
slider valid bonds issued for railroad
that never was built, never was begun.
and which it was never intended should
be built. The case decided by the SUI
preme court came from Allen county,
Kentucky, which issued bonds of the
Cumberland Il Ohio railroad, and de-
fauiteG on the payment of the interest
on the bonds. A Judgment was OBJ
tanned for the amount of defaulted in
terest. SGT 600, and it was ascertained
that the county had no property to sat-
isfy it. Wnts of mandamus were is
sued directing the county authorities to
levy tax for the payment of the judg-
ment, and the tax was so levied, but
not man was found in Allen county
who would consent to act as collector.
The court was then asked to issue an
order in chancery, appointinga receiver
for the county, and directing him to coll
lect the tax that had been levied, and to
pay II into court. to te arplied on the
Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1886-01-15

judgment. On this application the APP
peal was taken, and the Federal SUI
preme court declares the courts have no
such chancery powers. The supreme
court declares in effect that as against
Allen county, Kentucky, it could sug-
gest no remedy.
This is doubtless the conclusion of
the whole matter henceforth and for
ever, that the purchasers and holders
OF city and county bonds must take
their chances; that the trivial device of
shutting up the city council and county
commissioners in Jail, vicarious suffer
ers for the financial sins of the people.
and all the other methods suggested of
making municipalities pay debts are of
no force. When man buys the bonds
Of the county or city of Atchison, he
takes the risk of the payment. just as
he does when he loans money to an in
dividual without security. The city
and county has no property it can mort
gage, and it can have no endorsers.
And as there would be no way to COM
pei an individual debtor to pay under
those circumstances, so the municip-
ality cannot he reached.

ing better shelter and employment dur
Ing the winter?
And this is not an isolated case.
There are hundreds of them i'm this
county whose circumstances have not
oyerdrawn. They must sell out or
place mortgage. Hundreds of them
do the latter and in majority of cases
it is only postponing the day of sale.
The fight is ended. The capitalist
may now desire these lands at small
advance and the pre-emptor is compel
led TO give up his home. He did his ut
most, entertaining hope that he could
win, but, alas! those insurmountable
objects interposed to bring him to grief.
The high prices of building material.
fencing, fuel, provisions, clothing, farm
implements and the scarcity of remun-
erative labor may be mentioned as OBJ
stacles that interpose, and we may sug-
gest that late ruling which requires
$3.50 worth of improvements to be plac-
ed on claim before final proof can be
approved, was unnecessary. OPTIC.
