To say Whether the Suit Against the NJ.

The STATE Journal Is in receipt of a
a letter from an Allen county man who
is a settler on the NJ. K s T. lands which
are now in dispute IN the United States
courts.
United States District Attorney ". G.
Perry is called upon to make an explain
alton Of the charges cited IN this letter.
From appearances the United States
officials are trying to get rich out Of these
land cases and if viz. Perry and his assis
tants are not guilty they should say so.
The letter IS as follows;
To the Editor Of the STATE JOURNAL
I wish 10 ask of the people Of Kansas
if the suit Of the United States against
the NJ, < & I. Railroad company. for
the M, *. & T. lands is 4 steal or not?
The settlers supposed that the United
States district attorney had charge of the
case for the United States. and we were
supposed to give testimony before Chas.
Buccher, master Of Chancery at Moran,
but when the settlers got there no one
was allowed to go in and give his testi-
mony unless he would pay s. to Mr..
Crane, United States District Attorney
Perry's law partner, who was there TAX
ing dispositions for the United
States, in place of Mr.. Perry, and
after settler had given his
deposition he was required to give his
note to pay Dir. Perry's partner. Mr.
Crane, go, II the case is decided against
the NJ, IL q II. Co, and the settlers get
the lands The settlers of Allen county
wanted to employ our own attorney to
help Mr. Perry, but he would not let us,
and we don't like to have TO pay money
to 4 United States officer for doing his
duty whom We have to pay taxes TO pay
his salary. Very truly yours,

CHEF LONG STOOD
On the Referendum at Ness
County Meeting.
An IRISH FARMER WANTS TO KNOW.

An Amusing Incident Ofthe Campaign
Speaking There-Orher Political
Matters.
There was a great Republican picnic
at Ness City one day last week at which
James A. Troutman, Bernard Ke ly and
Chester l. Long were the leading at
fractions. In the crowd was an old
farmer, an Irishman who was there thirst
ing for the truths Of sound political doc
trIne. The referendum wa IL X point IL
which he was most vitality interested, and
none Of the speakers said word about It
When Mr.. IrOutman was concluding
his speech the old farmer arose with
great deliberalioa and said: "Mishter
5hp4ker, will you please tell me how
YOU stand on the referendum" AE
Troutman said it WAS time for him to
close, but the next speaker would no
doubt give him the Information be de-
sired.
When Mr.. Kelly was in the middle Of
his speech the Irishman arose again aud
said: "Mishter Shpaker. l want to fOlnd
out how you fellows stand on the refer
endum." Mr.. Kelly said he was very
sorry, but his time was SO limited he
would not have time to touch on that
point. Mr.. Long, he said, would proba-
bly, Accommodate him.
When Mr. Long WAS making the clos
ing address Of the day. the lrIshmzn
again arose, and said IN a more impera-
tive tone: "Mishter Shpaker, l have
twenty miles to drive before supper. and
I want to fond out how you shtand on
the referendum"
.'AIl right" said Mr.. Long. There Is
a referendum club up in Topeka that
passed some resolutions that accord with
my views entirely ana he took from his
coat pocket and read a copy or the rsso-
IutiOns recently adopted at the court
house by the Bennington Corning Ref
erendum club, in which Lswelling and
tbs whole administration was denounced
as corrupt and rotten, and not q word was
said about the referendum. The reply
made the biggest hit Of the day, and the
farmer arose again, and thanked AIr
Long for his enlightenment

HOLY WRIT OBSCURE.
Startling Charge Made Against q
Clay Center Man
FOR PEENING A BIBLE VERSE

On n Postal Gard and Sending 1t TO n
E'rencher-The Writer Arrested and
Put tn Jail
I. 3. Wise Of Clay Center has recently
been released FROM the Leavenworth Jail
where he has been confined for a month
on the charge of sending obscene matter
through the mails.
The strange part Of his story is that his
crime consisted in quoting a verse from
the Bible on a postal card aud sending it
through the mail
Wise Is an aged one armed man who
lives in cabin and makes a very doubt
full living cAnvassing for books. He is a
free thinker aud some of the books were
Of that nature. Rev. B. H. Vennum Of
ludu5try was we'll acquainted with Wise
ane -se set about converting him to
Christianity. A long friendly con
troversy by letter took place in
which quotations from the Bible were
freely used Finally Wise. in reply to
a quotation by Rev. Vennum, wrote the
18th verse Of the Seth chapter OF Isaiah
on a postal card and sent il to the
preacher.
This angered the reverend gentlemen,
and the arrest Of Wise on the charge of
sending obscene matter through the
mails followed.
Like some of his predecessors in
church history, the Rev. Mr.. Nennum. if
he couldn't convert man TO his views
he could at least put him in Jail 1t is
pretty hard to tell whether Mr. Vennum
was moved by righteous Indignation or
merely by common worldly spite.
At any rate, when the neighbors of old
man Wise found out where he was, they
secured a bond for him, and he was re-
leased His trial was set for October 8;
10 will then be determined whether GER
tain parts Of the Bible are to be regarded
~ obscene literature and not to be al
lowed to go through the mails or not

sending one-third Of the total The
candidates to be nominated are treas.
urer, superintendent Of public instruc-

however, centers mainly on the fact
that it would nominate a candidate for
United States senator. Many of the
politicians Of the party are opposed to
this move. But It Is demanded by the
people, as evidenced in the fact that a
large majority of the county conven-
tions have explicitly instructed their
delegates to vote on the senatorial ques-
ton
