inn1merabie Mortgages Declared Invalid
in Drouchty kansas
TOPEKA, Kan, Oct Is In the old DAYS
of pre- emption in Kansas it was a common
case for pre-emptors to arrange with loan
companies for loans on their claims in ad =
vance of final proof, to enable them to paw
the government for their land, millions of
dollars having been borrowed and mortgages
given therefor. Droughts, crop failures,
etc. have mede it difficult for the mort
gagees TO pay their interest regularly, and
wholesale foreclosures have been threatened
by the loan companies
A settler for the Money Lenders
John q. H:iiyer, settler, being threat
'sned with foreclosure, employed a lawyer
TO defend him, and according to the rulings
of several judges and the findings of courts
that the transaction was illegal, and the
note and mortgage Invalid, the case was so
decided This decision is a revelation to
the settlers of the southwest, and the success

settlers in positions similar to HiIlyer TO de-
Tend them, while the loan companies are

cages judicially declared worthless

How She Takes Your Arm.

You eau tell pretty well how a girl feels to-
ward you by the way she takes your arm. II
abe doesn't care cent you know IL by the In
difference Of her muscles IL she has n great
confidence In you the pressure tells it; and
friendship Is ms distinct from love In that
mode Of expression a. in words or looks. A
woman can take the arm of fellow she likes
very much with perfect comfort, even II she
Is SIX feet high and he is four. But even II
the two are just matched, she can make him
feel disdain, contempt, discomfort, dislike,
anything she likes, by the way she does not
hold on 70 him.-Detroit Free Pres

LONDON, Oct. 15.-The trial of the earl OF
Galloway ON the charge OF indecent assault
on little girl named Gibson took place at
Edinburgh yesterday, before crowded
court room The child's evidence was direct,
and her testimony was corroborated by other
witnesses. A statement prepared by the de-
PENDANT was then read, in which the ex.
PLANTATION was made that no Intentional
offense was committed. After the hearing
Of further evidence the earl was acquitted Of
the charge
How tho Verdict Was Received.
The announcement of the verdict gave rise
to q scene rarely witnessed in a court in this
country. The guilt OF the accused seemed 30
clearly established, even by such evidence as
was aIlo wed to filter through the obj &C.
tions OF the six eminent counsel for the de-
Tense. that those present in the court room,
many OF whom were friends and relatives OF
the little girls whom the aged nobleman
was charged with abusing, took no pains to
conceal their disgust with the verdict The
announcement OF the verdict was the signal
for loud expressions OF disappro oval from the
benches where the spectators were seated,
and the frowns and threats of the presiding
judge were of no avail to suppress the cries
of "Shamep "Shame!' uttered by dozens Of
indignant persons.
The News in London.
In London the news OF the verdict was re-
ceived with great indignation among the
common people, and 1t is pointed out that
had the accused been anything but a great
nobleman the evidence brought out would
have been sufficient to convict him a dozen
times over. The marquis of Salisbury, who
has manifested great interest in the case
ever since the charges were first brought,
hurried to London last evening so as to re-
ceive the earliest news of the result Of the
trial When informed that Galloway had
been acquitted he received the news with
every evidence OF satisfaction. The earls
bsst friends scarcely hoped for more than
the Scotch verdict OF mot proven" and an
aoquittal outright pleased them quite as
much as 1t outraged be sense Of justice OF
all other Englishmen
