MORE OF MoRRILL's RECORD.
E. N. Morrill, belongs to q different
class Of redeemers. He is not in the
habit OF defrRuding his customers by
failure in business. He had more re-
spectacle appearing way Of doing 1t. He
was the gO-between Of the railroad COM
pany. One Of bis plans was to get q
fraudulent claim on settlers lands and
then squeeze money from the settlers in
exchange for q quit.olaim deed. 1t
might be called ,blsckmsiling of the
more genteel kind. He had a way Of
making homssteaders pay him money
even after they had paid all the govern
msnt required for the land, though it
was sometimes necessary for him to lie
like satan to do it.
In addition to the evidence Of Morrill's
given last week, we wish to
call the readers attention to the follow
ing statement by ]. G.. Park, Of Wash
ington, Kas, and there is plenty more to
follow:
"In the summer Of 1880 1 wrote to q.
N. Morrill, in regard to my land, the
southeast quarter section 25, township
3, range 3, stating that l had home
Stsaded in good faith, that l was an old
soldier in very strRightensd circum-
stances and that on account Of sickness
and crop failure / would be unable to
live through without some money and
to get it l would have to mortgage my
land and that l could not get q loan
with his claim on the land. August 5,
1901 received an answer from him
stating that in regard TO my claim on
said land that the commissioners of the
general land Office and the secretary Of
the interior had decided that 1 had no
claim to said land, but il I would pay
him $3.50, he would clear my title, other
wise he would have to bring suit for
Ojsctment. This was over his own name.
So there was nothing to do but to settle
bis claim as l did, bypsying it, but when
the deed came it was from @. II. James
and wife in place of Morrill,. They were
partners in the HiswRthR bank. So the
matter was settled FOR q time.
"March 8, 1887, congress passed an
act to reimburse certain settlers along

yesterday at this place. Mr.. Stewart Of

Mr.. Baker, has got his opponent, Mr..
Ellis, pretty well cornered on the finan-

shot at every gathering. Mr.. Baker is

Government Ownership.

The logical outcome of this strike
is Government ownership of the
railroads. The attention of the
public has been directed to this
question very forcibly during the
past ten days. Thousands have
been converted to this idea since
the strike began, and many news
papers are now advocating it that
were silent if not opposed to it
before. The Government at the
present time is running one thied
of the railroads of the country
either through receivers or the
military. Why not own them
outright, and save all this robbery,
bloodshed, and destruction of prop
erty. We are for Government
ownership now without further
delay.-National Watchman.

This remedy seems to have pecu-

The action of the President in
sending troops into States against
the protests of the Governors is
meeting with severe condemnation
among all careful, candid people.
With such a precedent it is but one
step from President to dictator.
Senator PETER in his last speech
told so many plain facts that the
administration was forced to con-
cede to the demands of the knights
of Labor, and agree to appoint
arbitrators. No matter if the sub
sidized press did call the speech
incendiary, no less than 100000
have been ordered for distribution.
Just now plain truths do not please

Referring to the crushing defeat of the
Democracy in Maine the New York
World says: "There is a warning in
this revolt following the somewhat sim
liar one in Vermont, for the Democrats
OF all other states-partcularly those of
New York. There are greater causes
of dissatisfaction here than in Maine
One of our democratic senators joined
the strikers against the Wilson bill, and
the other, with some of the representa-
tives, voted against the measure that
finally passed. There is intense disap-
proval of several incidents in the state
administration for the past three years.
Widespread corruption and systematic
blackmail in one department of the city
government have been disclosed, and ig-
noranee, ineficiency and wastetullness,
if nothing worse, are known to exist in
others. This from the leading Democrat
ic authority of the Empire State is not
very encouraging to those Democrats who
have been hoping that the tidal wave
would not go beyond New England. 1t
looks very much like confession OF
Democratic defeat in advance.

New Zealand Woman Married In Dress
Reform Garments.

Nowhere is the great woman move
ment SO rampant as in New Zealand.
1t is New Zealand that has given the
world a lady mayor in the person Of
Mrs. Yates, who rules the destiuies Of
the township of Onehunga, near Auck-
land. Wellington also furnishes the case
Of a wedding recently in which lovely
woman asserted her individuality. The
lady went through the marriage cere-
mony up to the point where she was
asked. "Wilt thou have this man?'
Here she drew up by replying. "No; ]
won have him." and she persisted in
that mood till O'Clock the next morn
ing, when having sufficiently vindi-
Gated her natural liberty, she consented
to the ceremony heing concluded.
This may be a case of eccentricity but
a much wider significance must be given
to another wedding, which has been cele-
brated at Christ church under the aus
pieces of the New Zealand Dress Reform
Association.
The bride, Miss Kate Walker, and the
bridegroom, Mr.. J. X. Wilkinson, had re-
Gently joined hands by publishing a
pamphlet on Dress Reform and WHAT
it Implies" Not satisfied with this
achievement, they resolved to show
what the dress reform implied by don
ming the reform garments on their
wedding day.
The enterprising bride. like Strephon
in "lolanthe,n was divided into two
parts as it were, the upper part of her
dress consisting of the conventional
BRIDES vel and the lower sinking into
a modified pair of breaches. Her cos
tune was of stone-blue bengaline with
vest and revels Of white silk mbroid-
cred with gold. She wore a beautiful
wreath of jessamine instead of the time
honored orange blossom and although
gloves were discarded lovely veil was
worn-not, however, overs the face, but
thrown back and failing in long graceful
folds over the shoulders.
The bridesmaid Miss Nellie Walker
wore a suit of cream silk with a Deauti-
full lace collar. The lady in whose
house the wedding took place wore. 8
brown cashmere suit trimmed with
handsome braid. The suits were nearly
all of the same design neatly-fttine
Knockers long coat with revers and 8
long vest, the coat being edged with
cord to match the material. Most Of
