Atchison Patriot: The boys who deliver
newspapers receive great deal Of unmer-
tied censure. A gentleman misses some day
his morning or evening paper, as the case
may be, and he forthwith lays the blame on
the braye little fellow who, through heat or
cold, sunshine or storm, makes his daily
round. Our experience leads us to believe
that the boy, nine cases out of ten, is not at
fault. 1t is his interest to deliver his papers
faithfully and promptly. The wind, dogs
and paper thieves may often account for
missing papers. The safest plan is to put
up box in which papers may be placed.

MAGISTRATES COURTS.

A queer and complicated case came up be-
fore Judge Walker yesterday.
Some time ago an organ was sold at FL
Dorado to q man named Gibbs on the lease
plan, the title remaining with the seller I'M
til fully paid. Gibbs gave chattel mort
gage, incluing, among other things, the Or
gan, to Mrs. j. Slayer, who has been run
ming the Sedgwick house restaurant. I'm
der the foreclosure of the mortgage the or
gan was brought here and has been in her
possession. Meanwhile, Wichita firm held
An overdue note against Gibbs and issued
an attachment on this organ, intending to
redeem the lease, which was partly satisfied,
and take the organ in payment of the note.
Tracing it to this city they issued writ OF
replevin. and there the fun commenced. 1t
transpires that one H. NJ. Moore is the pur-
chasing medium q. the above restaurant,
buying the bills in his own name and con-
veniently forgetting to settle when due.
When the writ of replevin was served the
parties asked for little time to consult
their lawyers, which was granted, and when
the time was up the organ could not be
found, nor have its whereabouts been dis
covered. There was evidently put-up job
between the woman and Moore to get rid OF
the organ and at the same time throw the
blame on third party. Officer Badger, Of
the merchant police, going to his room
while the execution was delayed, found the
organ before his door, and drew it in to pro-
tect it from injury. Returning soon after,
the organ had mysteriously vanished.
A warrant was issued this afternoon fol
the arrest of the parties, to see if legal sua-
sion wouldn't cause them to divulge the dis
position made of the instrument, which j:
thought to have been sold and the proceeds
pocketed by Moore, who last evening was
under the surveillance Of the police, it be-
ing designed to give him all the rope posi-
BILE and bring him up with quick turn. Sc
rests the case at the last account the reporter
could get.

am afraid, however, that his Chicago called
meeting is not move in the right direction
1t is open to criticism from various standpoints.
In fact, hear it referred to as "self-consti-
tuted scheme" Now, there is no doubt as to
the feasibility of forming n new society, and
every one except the members of the present
exclusive organization are in favor of it; but
we should go about the matter in way that
will disarm all criticism as to motives, etc. We
want harmony, and, to be successful, we must
have it. | can see no necessity for the proposed
Chicago meeting. As suggested by several COM
rades in THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE, believe
the best time and place to organize would be
San Francisco next Summer, on the occasion of
the annual Encampment of the Grand Army of
the Republic. The Encampment will bring
together large number of representative COM
rades of our old army, and we would be reason
ably sure of large and influential charter
membership, which is a thing worth consider
ing. | understand that Gen. Logan is in favor
of the project. | would like to hear from other
comrades in this connection. -" CHAMPIONS
