negro boy about twenty years of age, who

deed secret until the body Of the upS 4

When and where will this Wholesale

This is serious question for the people Of

Human life is set at naught. The law is

true citizen to do everything in his power to
suppress them, and when the guilty parties
are brought to trial before the Courts that arc

We arc apprchcnsive that our correspon-
dent, +. w. D., fell into an error last week,
when in speaking of his visit to the Oil Mill,
accused the Managers Of the mill of not
rracticng what they preach, by not en-
ploying home labor.
We have it upon the authority Of one of
the officers Of the mill, that all Of the en-
ployees are citizens Of the county, except the
skilled workmcn.
IL is the desire of the managers to employ
all home labor. whenever it is practicable.
But il is not reasonable to expect the mana

renccd labor, if they desire to make the en-

ABOUT FORECLOSURES.

According to the Harper county pa
pers Judge Ellis, at the recent term of
the district court, made certain rulings
in foreclosure suits that will be of par
ticular interest to many people In Bar
Der county. The items below explain
the cases
Anthony journal Judge Ellis has made a
ruling that will seem like a ray OF sunshine,
AID sound like rapturous music to the ear of
the early pioneer as he sits in the shadow of
his little old sod cabin on the claim" The
judge ruled that no defaults should be permit
ted in foreclosure cases, but that all such
should remain upon the trial calendar until
reached in their regular order, without refer
ence to whether or not there had been any
appearance by the defendant. This ruling
will have about the same result as redemp-
ton or stay law"
Harper Graphic 1.-The case of the Sioux
Investment Company against Mark Williams,
being an action to foreclose a mortgage on
Williams farm, in Garden township, came up
for hearing last Thursday, before Judge Ellis,
on motion, and application of the plaintiff to
have receiver appointed to take charge of
the place and harvest next years crop. The
evidence showed that by reason of poor crops
and low prices Williams had been unable to
pay last years taxes and interest. Under the
rulings of Judge Ellis, foreclosure cases can
not be taken up for hearing out Of their regu-
lar order on the docket, and by reason of this
ruling the loan company would not have been
able to fOreclose on this farm until next fall"
OF course, what is good for Harper
county is good for Barber county; and
it will not surprise us if many of the
foreclosure cases now on the docket
will come to temporary halt at the
next term of the court.

ASKING RELIEE

just now, when state movement is
being inaugurated to induce immigrants
60 come to Kansas, wet blanket ap-
pears to have been thrown over the
movement by the demand for an extra
session of the legislature. to afford re-
lief to many Kansans, who are threat
ened with foreclosure by mortgage COM
panies. The probability Is that not one
farmer in fifty in Kansas is in any i'm.
mediate danger of losing his homestead:
but it Is easy to work up belief that
the entire state is being foreclosed. The
petition circulated and generally signed
and submitted TO Gov. Humphrey, is as
follows:
WHEREAS, The shrinkage IN values upon
both real and personal property in the state of
Kansas 10 the past two years has caused very
great financial embarrassment among the far
mers OF our state, and in many instances the
farmers have become unable, by reason Of
these shrinkages. to prevent proceedings in
foreclosure, which are increasing to an alarm
ing extent: we, the undersigned, electors of
- county, Kansas, therefore respectfully
petition your exceiiency to call special SEES
sion of the legislature Of Kansas for the pur-
pose Of providing for the relief OF our farmers
BY the passage ola law giving the mOrtgagorof
a homestead at least two years in which to
occupy, enjeys and redeem, If possible, after
sale of mortgaged pyemises. and TO provide also
for a stay Of execution on all judgments on
promissory notes and mertgaee bonds for q
reasonabIe lime without bond.

The railroads have agreed to reduce
the rates on corn, in accordance with
the demands of the people, as asked in
their petitions, circulated few weeks
ago. The Topeka Capital estimates
that the reduction is ten per cent. on
the through rate to Chicago and Saint
Louis. and nearly fifty per cent. on the
proportion of the through rate applying
to Kansas. All corn west of the Mis-
souri, river is moved on the basis of
through rates from points in Kansas to
st. Louis and Chicago. The rate from
the Missouri river to st. Louis is Is
cents, and to Chicago 20 cents. The
maximum proportion of the through
rate from points IN Kansas to the Mis-
souri, river, added to the Missouri river
to Chicago rate, makes the maximum
through rate from numerous points in
the western part of the state 80 cents
per 100 pounds. At numerous other
points the through rate to Chicago is 81
cents. These are all reduced to the
maximum of IS cents to Chicago and
20 cents to st. Louis, these being the
highest rates to be charged from the
distant points in Kansas. All other
rates below the maximum rates above
named, to be reduced upon graduated
scale, down to 2O-cent through rate.

North Dakota will probably be the
future home oGthe Louisiana state lot
terry scheme. The present charter OF
that big steal will expire in 1898, and
the present constitution of Louisiana
prevents a renewal of the charter.
North Dakota Legislators were APP
preached and bought, and induced to
pass bill chartering a perpetual lot
terry company, and taxing it 100000 a
year. The leading politicians and citi-
zens, and the principal cities and coun-
ties have been enlisted to work for the
lottery, and, as in Louisiana, the lottery
men threaten to control the politics and
destiny of North Dakota. They have
millions OF dollars to pay for perma-
nent foothOld in North dakota.

run W v EhNOIt OF OhLAHOMA.
The newspapers of the state are Civ
ing wide publicity to the candidacy of
Ex-State Auditor E. z. McCabe, of
Kansas, who desires to be governor of
Oklahoma. Mr.. McCabe has the sup
port of some of the ablest politicians of
the country, including Hon. b. X.
Bruce, and Hon. John NJ. Langston. It
is understood that Senator Ingalls, will
also champion Col. McCabe's candida
cy, and use every endeavor to secure his
appointment by the president. Col.
McCabe is thorough Kansan he filed
the Office of state auditor in a manner
as satisfactory to the people as did any
OF his predecessors, and he is regarded
as an ADLER man than his successor, Col
Mccarthy.
There are thousands of Kansans I'm
Oklahoma who voted for Col. McCabe,
who would rejoice at his preferment,
and who would, no doubt, see that he
should be elected to the position of
chief magistrate of that country when
1t is admitted as state, if Mr.. Harri-
son concludes to appoint him as the
first governor.
The INDEX cannot see how Col. Nc
Cabe's claim can be ignored. Then, as
republican must be nominated, and
as there is no chance for democratic
negro for the position, we second the
nomination of Col. McCabe, colored, for
governor of Oklahoma.
President Harrison and all Kansas
republicans will doubtless hail with
pleasure this opportunity to prove their
words by their works.
