dies, and after considerable discussion
it was decided to send a representative
to the West Indies to investigate the
matter, and, if practicable, arrange for
the expectation of Kansas -four to the
islands. The expenses of the agent will
be paid by an assessment upon the
members in proportion to the capacity
OF their mills.
The following was adopted:
Resolved, By the millers of Kansas
in convention assembled, on this the
18th day of June, 1891, that the hon.
orable secretary of state be and hereby
is requested to expedite in every possi-
ble manner the negotiation of reciprocal
relations in trade with the republic OF
Mexico, that the millers of Kansas may
not be compelled to dispose of the pro-
ducts of their mills and farms in Euro
pean markets at prices dictated by the
flour importers of Liverpool and Glas-
gov and the pauper labor producing
countries of the world.
Trusting that in view OF the critical
situation in which the millers and pro-
ducers OF Kansas are placed, you will
give this matter your earliest and most
careful consideration, We beg to assure
you OF our hearty cooperation and kind
regards.

The county commissioners certified
that the contract had been filed and
paid over the bonds, although station
had never been provided.
The road is now q branch OF tho st.
Louis & San Francisco railway, and D.
w. Ball, trustee of Falls township, has
brought action before the railroad COM
missioners to compel the Frisco road to
keep the agreement upon which the
bonds were voted. The commissioners
visited Falls townehip and Investigated
the case. In their decision they say
they are satisfied that the contract to
build depot and put in station facili-
ties was understood by all parties to
mean such as would accommodate that
community.
1t is clear that without such an un-
derstanding the bonds would never have
been voted. It is equally clear that the
railway company did not intend to act
in good faith, but as soon a. it becomes

A RIGHTEOUS JUDGE.

A Judge in Nebraska recently
found remedy for one of the OPP
pressed farmers of that State. The
farmer had given a mortgage on
his farm, and the mortgagee had
asked the court for a Judgment of
foreclosure and confirmation of sale.
The Judge said:
81 will not do it. This docket is
covered, page upon page, with con-
frmation cases. The drought of
last summer has exhausted the far
mer's resources, and he is unable
to pay his loans. The act of God,
for which the people are not re-
sponsible, has reduced one-half of
them almost to beggary, and this
calamity shall not be made worse
by any act of mine. We are
asked to turn 100 farmers over to
money-lenders and 500 women and
children over to pauperism. It
shall never be done in this district
while l am judge. The people
are not able to pay, and l will not
assist in robbing them. Let us
wait until crop can be raised and
confidence restored, and all will
come out right. If man be liv-
ing on his land, or trying to
cultivate it, he should have the re-
ward Of his work. I will never
confirm sale in times like these,
if the owner is trying to make a
living OH the land. When the peo-
pie are compelled to ask aid to pro-
cure seed it would be a cruel mock
cry to deprive them of the land to
sow the seed upon. l have right
not to confirm a case when the
property sold does not bring two.
thirds its actual value, and in these
cases it has not brought that amount.
The sale is not confirmed"
But we do not have to 90 to Ne

Under the landlord and tenant act il
sometimes occurs that the judge, after

: tice that characterized the act of tn

KNOXVILLE, July p, q a. m. -
The scenes enacted in this
city to-day and the excitement
caused by the return Of troops and
convicts from Briceville is un-
abated. The presence Of the
largest body of soldiers seen here
since the war, and the fact that they
may momentarily be called upon
to 60 to battle with four times their
number Of determined men, each an
adept in the use Of firearms, has
caused the streets to be crowded
since day break. The decision Of
the Governor, who has been in
consultation with the Attorney
General all day, has not been re-
ceived, and the troops are taking
much needed rest. A meeting of
miners was held at Coal Greek this
afternoon. When the men as
sembled, there were a few hot
heads, who began to talk about fire,
but they were outsiders and not
miners. The miners leaders took
possession Of the meeting and would
not allow such talk. Mr.. Ingraham
was called to preside and the meet
ing was formally opened. There were
speeches by number of leaders
and all of conservative tone and
all advising against any sort of
act in violation Of the law. The
; men said they wanted the convicts
sent away and nothing more or
less.
Finally a resolution was unani-
mously passed to appoint commit
tee of five to go to Knoxville and
Nashville if necessary to confer witt
Gov. Buchanan and arbitrate the
:, present difficulties, each man, on hi
honor, pledging himself that not on
