EDIToR ADyooATE;--AIy attention has
been called to an article in the "Topeka
Oap5ta" stating that six mortgages, have
been foreclosed, somewhere in the state,
and thereupon the editor proceeds TO make
aplea, in behalf the mortgaged farmer,
aud praying the mortgage companies to
be lenlent.
He also makes the statement that the
present crop Of corn, has been produced
.at cost Of about 10 cents per bushel, and
that at the low price at which corn is
selling, millions above cost of production,
will be realized, and II said mortgage
companies will still further walt until the
farmers feed the corn to stock, that fabu-
lous sums will be realized.
II Is such statements as these that make
us weary. II Is Qf meant in earnest) a
direct insult to the intelligence Of every
loan agent and farmer in the state.

tai ignorant on this subject II not what
is the matter?

sulting as to the propriety Of seeking
some means Of relief before our farmers,

business men, ruined, financially. Among

the situation is extensive.
He is a member Of the legislature and
an earnest and honest worker for every
Kansas interest, and am looking to him
for great assistance in solving the problem
of the future in Kansas. During our con-
ference he told me he knew Of one law
firm, in southern Kansas, that, had a con-
tract, to do the legal work, on 1900 mort
gage foreclosures.

for printing. While they are full of
statistical information and show
healthy state of affairs in Min
neapolls, still, if their recon-

is room for Improvement all
around. Chief of Police Bracket wants
fifty more patrolmen and the boys pre-
vented from selling newspapers on the
streets. Chief Stetson. of the fire de-
partment, says his department should
have the use of larger water mains.
He wants two new fire companies, an
increased number of men and portable
water tower. A. G. Mosher. the Sealer
OF weights and measures, recommends
that his Office be made salaried
one, instead of being paid by
fees. His receipts last year were
sl,1A.45, out of which he paid
an assistant $3.50. Inspector Hazen
wants to supervise the setting of steam
boilers. and to have charge of the grant
ing of street permits. Registrar Moody,
OF the water department.. wants water
meters universally adopted. City En-
gineer Rinker recommends new
method of collecting special assess
mentS, and the lowering of the Hastings
d Dakota railway tracks in the Seventh

wants the time for which the city'S
bonds are issued from thirty-five to

The grand jury was grinding away all
day yesterday ON the Kicker and
Menaseh cases, examining witnesses
and looking over vast piles of accounts,
but when evening came they found that
it would be impossible to finish either,
and they will be continued through to-
day until the jury arrives at some de-
termination.
The Marx and Bowdish cases were
both dropped, as there were no wit
nesseS in the former case. and in the
latter, although several had been sub
pGned, they could not be found. and
the document alleged to be forged could
not be found.
There has been some thirteen indict-
ments handed in by the jury, but they
are all for minor offpnses, most of them
in the cases OF criminals lodged in the
county jail. County Attorney Jamison
states some new cases are to be taken
up. but that ne has not had time to look
into them as yet. although the parties in
tereSted had urged HIM to do so. He
stated that he did not care to talk about
them until he had made himself familiar

Charles Miller against j. d. Smith. The
case is queer one, and involves the
title To the north half of the northeast
quarter of section s, township %, range

decided the property to Smith to
secure a note for $50, and it
was stipulated that the land should
be held in trust until the debt was paid.
In 1884 Smith sold the land, and it was
not until June, 1889. that the plaintiff
cane forward and offered to pay the
note, interest and taxes, and redeem
the property. The demurrer was en-
tered on the ground that the complaint
dues not state facts constituting a cause
of action. The point demurred against

states that the deed was in reality a

NEW MoV~aIENT.
A New Society to Supplant the
knights of Labor.

A report is being circulated that be-
fore long some startling revelations will
be made in labor circles. The Knights
of Labor organization does not seem
to perform the work for which
it was started, and it is reported
that new society will be formed
that shall be powerful aud all-reaching
in its influence. The loss of vitality in
the old organization is keenly felt. and
in many cases merely the form of action
exists. The assemblies have also been
abandoned, owing to the lack of attend
ance. This is true not only of this city,
but of st. Paul and maty country towns.
This movement is the outgrowth of the
American Federation of Labor, which
met in Boston a few months
ago. and which was one of the
great movers OF the great eight-hour
day. The matter has been kept some
what quiet for fear of opposition from
some of the knights, but as the society
is now under way this cause for fear is
removed. j. p. MeGaughey is under
stood to be leading spirit in the new
society.
