Looking back further into former
transactions with Mr.. Anderson it was
found, so they claim, that he procured
loan of $500 from one F. NJ. Thomp-
son through the Interstate Mortgage

was done through false representations
somewhat similar to those by which he
hoped TO secure the 81 600 lately. They
further found that the name
of said Thompson was forged

W. IA. Anderson of AmeFfcuS Arrested
AGAIN To-day on Two OGher war
Pants CharAng Forgery and Getting
Money Under False PreteHses.
The chief topic of conversation on
he street to-day was the arrest last
evening of w. H. Anderson, an old
citizen of Americas. Every
body was surprised this morn
ing at learning that one
so well and favorably known in the
county should be accused of forgery.
1t was felt and hoped quite generally
that as he gave bond promptly for his
appearance, 1.-The affair would be salts
factorily explained, and that he would
at his trial clear his skirts of any wrong
and sustain his good name.
These hopes were somewhat dashed
at noon, when it became known that
ne had been re-aTrested on two other
warrants by the sheriff and brought to
town.
AS well as can be learned the facts
are these. Mr.. Anderson has been
doing some business with the Inter-
state Mortgage Trust company of Par
sons, Kansas. On July g, he sent the
company a mortgage on a piece of
property near Americas which pur-
ported to be free and unincumbered,
when in reality it was already mort
gagged for $1,000, The mort
gage offered the Parsons company
was for a loan Of 81 900. On
examination the abstract appeared
faulty and irregular. The names
of the county officers were mis-
spelled, and the county seal mark was
only a blur not legibie.
Instead of sending the money to MIR.
Anderson, the company sent man to
Emporia 20 investigate the matter.
He has been here for two or three days
examining the records, and yesterday
decided to have the arrest made for at
tempted forgery.
This complaint filed charges that the
name OF the absfractOr, ". B. Miller,
was given IS j. B. Miller, and ID. a.
stahi, county treasurer, spelled Stsle.

a Few suggestions ON Congregation.

nj Drill.
If for any reasons an elementary
class cannot be taught in church, 1
believe it possible to drill the cOngre-
cation and improve their singing in
that way. This can be done more cas-
lily on the Sabbath, for it is hardly pro-
bable that the regular congregation
can be got out for an occasional rehear-
sal on a week day or evening. would
be in favor of shortening the Sabbath
evening service, perhaps once a month
or oftener if necessary, and taking
halfran-houf for drilling the congrega-
ton on a number of the standard
tunes: the above seems ONE altogeth-
er in place and very beneficial to- the
church singing, Ten minutes might
be taken each Sabbath from the Sab
bath school hour, and in this way give
the younger people of the church d
drill on the Old Tunes, as we'll as the
lighter music used in the school. They
would enjoy the church service more if
they could join in the singing. If it is
too much trouble to teach and drill
the congregation in the old notation
system, take the new one the Tonic
Sol Fa. By doing so you can teach all
the children in very short time to
read all church music at first sight also
with very little labor and expense.

The sugar trust is being denounced
everywhere as a gang of robbers. No
epithet is too harsh to be applied to it.
Republican organs roar as loudly as
any body against the combine. They
seem to forget that year ago the
republican national convention de-
clared that the internal revenue sys-
tenn should be abolished before any
part OF cur protective system should be
touched. Now they clamor for re-
moval of the duty on sugar. What for?
To smash the infamous trusts say
they. Very well, gentlemen. You
have undergone a change of heart on
this subject which is wholesome to
witness. But wherefore do you abuse
the trust2 Is it not creature of your
own making? Would 1t be the
great and insstiate octapus it is. if it
had not enjoyed q quarter OF CEN
tury's protection which you voted and
shouted for as necessary to keep alive
such Infant industries?
You have patrOnized and coddled it
all these years, and now when it be-
gins to show its strength: when it
casts of the swaddling clOnts of the
infant, and discioses the herculean
proportions of the gladiator or the
giant; when it begins togive proof of
the excellent care you have taken of it
/ by putting its hands in even your peck
cts and helping itself to your shekels,
you raise a hullabaloo, and demand
that the life be crushed out of it as
though it were serpent, and not a
creature of your own breeding and
nurture.
The margin of protection between
the price of raw and refined sugar is
nearly cent and a half pound. Why
should the refiners not pocket it? Have
you not voted it to them? They die
pocket the margin, and it made then
rich and powerful. Their wealth en-
abled them to combine and advance thu
price of sugar still higher, and yoU
kick. If in their places, you would d.

You would put money in your purse a

The sugar men are not so much u

abusing them are responsible for tn

IT is probable that Sir Charles Rus
sell will withdraw from the manage

English commission because of the

from cover to cover by the Times at

The Goodlander Mill company of
Fort Scott, Kansas, has commenced
suit in the circuit court against the
Standard Oil company on a plea of
trespass on the case for 500, 600. In
November, 1887, the Standard OH
company shipped a tank car contain
ing 5000 gallons OF kerosene to Fort
Scott, where it was placed upon eide
track behind the extensive mills and
elevators of the GoodIander company
Workmen desiring to empty the car of
its contents, unscrewed the cap of the
outlet pipe. which should have been
closed on the inside by valve. This
was out of order, and when the cap
was removed the 5000 gallons of oil
burst out, flooding the first story of the
mill. When the stream of oil reached
the furnaces in the boiler room it was
ignited and in an instant the mill and
elevators, valued at 5000, 900, were in
flames and totally destroyed.

two ffths of a crop, and that confined
