AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
Judge Foster Holds That Mortgages Ca
not Sell Homes tn Satisfy Debt.

Judge Foster Holds That Mortgages Can
not Sell Homes to Satisfy Debt.
Heretofore, in cases of foreclosure of
mortgages, where the mo~tgaged pro
perty has failed to sell for enough to
satisfy the judgments, the mortgages
have been allowed personal judgment
against the debtors for the balance.
Now comes Judge Foster, of the
United States court who in proceedings
had before him at Leavenworth rever-
sed former practice.
The Northwestern Mutual Life In
surance company of Milwaukee, went
before Judge Foster asking for confr-
nation of sale of a block on Sixth
street. The judgment was for 1854
and the property had been bid in by
the mortgage for $1,000. Personal
judgment was asked for the unpaid
balance. ROby presented af1davits
showing the property was worth the
judgment, whereupon Judge Foster
decided point blank that he would not
confirm the sale until the mortgage
should waive claims for balance.
In the Keith foreclosure Judge Foster
held that the property was worth the
judgment, Notwithstanding it had been
bid in at less. In this case he also re-
fuses to confirm sale unless claims for
personal judgment to cover residue
was abandoned.
One of the cases was the foreclosure
Of the BUou theare which was the pro-
perty of George W. Veale. The judg-
ment on foreclosure proceedings am
ounted to $4,000. When the property
was sold the people holding the mort
gage bought it for $500. This left a
judgment against Colonel Veale of
$500. Several aff1davits we're pre-
scented to show that the property was
worth at least $1,000 and Judge Foster
said that since the property more than
satisfied the mortgage no judgment
over" should be taken, and Colonel
Veale should be released from the 81
500 judgment.

Secretary Morton has decided to
postponed until Jan. 1, 1886, the date
on which the order recently issued re-
garding the stamping of horse meat
packages intended for export shall go
into effect Since the order was issued
it has been brought to the notice Of the
secretary that it may interfere With
the performance of contracts already
entered into, and the postponement Of
the execution Of the order is made TO
enable packers to close up present ar
rangements and dispose Of any stock
they may have on hand. In the mean
time, too, congress will have an oppor-
tunity, if it desires, to modify or repeal
the act under which the secretary is
acting. Secretary Morton says that
the packing Of horse meat has been be-
gun at Hammond, Ind, within the past
few months, making two points in the
United States at which the industry
has been established, the other being
in Oregon.

FESTIVAL
MOUNTAIN AND PLAIN.

On Friday evening, as a reward of
merit, the boys we're chosen to play at
the "Slaves of the Silver Serpent" re-
oeptiOn at the Brown Palace, where
they made hosts of friends by the ex-
cellence of their performance.
When the news reached Goodland
that the boys were coming back loaded
down with honors and the magnificent
banner, preparations we're at once be-
gun to give them a fitting reception,
and long before the train pulled in
great crowd of enthusiastic admirers
had gathered at the depot to greet their
m, Al idols.
When the boys alighted and unfurled
their Colorado trophy to its first Kan
sas zephyr, the air was rent with cheers,
and eongratulation upon eongratula-
ton were showered upon each and
ever member of the best amateur band
ever organized in the Sunflower state.
Mrs. Fred Dawson and Miss Stella
Myers, bright stars in the galaxy Of
Goedland's beauties, volunteered to
carry the shimmering trophy at the
head Of the triumphal march up town,
which all along vas greeted with cheers
and waving handkerchiefs.
In the evening banquet was given
them at the opera house, an expression
OF the esteem and honor in which they
are held by the citizens and lovers of
harmony.

WON IHE PRIZE At DENER.
TIC ioOdIand Band Takes Second Place in the
Denver Band Contest.
Loaded With HOnors BY the Residents Of
Denver and Visitors to the Mountain
and Plain EestiVaI-Fendered a Recep-
ton Upon Their Return.

It has often been said that Kansans,
visiting Colorado, are reticent to dis
close their SunfoWer state residence
ship, owing to the general belief that
Coloradoans look down upon anything
and everything from Kansas.
But it wasn't that way at Denver last
week, at least, as far as Goodlandites
we're concerned. 1t was an honor to be
considered a Goodlandite.
The reason for this change in feeling
lay in the fact that the Goodland Mill
tary Band was in attendance at the
Mountain and Plain Festival and at
tracted more favorable comment than
all others combined.
The bands popularity and Kansas
stock rose simultaneously from the
very first and continued its upward
trend until the first Mountain and
Plain Festival had passed into history.
In the first days parade the Good
landites we're assigned to one of the
most important divisions, and their
performance that day proved SO salts
factory to the management that they
were thereafter rated as top-notchers
of the first class, and any feature of the
parades that secured the Goodland
Band for an escort felt especially "a
vored.
In the trolley musicale the Goodland
Band was the fourth chosen out of the
10 picked, among which we're several
professional organizations, and on the
trip the Goodland Band was more
than once stopped by the appreciative
crowds and requested to repeat certain
selections, distinction not enjoyed by
even the professionals.
When the band contest opened there
was no doubt but that oneof the prizes
would fall to the Sunfower boys, and
out Of the many bands entered, they
were clearly favorites for first place.
Their rendition of the potpourri,
"Oh, Fair Dove, oh, Fond Dove" was
pronounced by the judges to be fault
less in expression and technic, but as
their marching was inferior to their
music, they were forced to take second
place, although lacking only 10 points
out Of a possible 200 of winning
first. As it was one of the three judges
stood out to give them first place.
In connection with this contest, one
of the highest compliments ofthe many
they received, was paid by their fellow
competitors who sought to bar them
from the contest on the grounds of
professionalism, and thousands of peo-
pie who listened to their music could
not be convinced that the Goodland
musicians were amateurs.
The prize banner, won by the boys,
is constructed of the finest plush and
silk, appropriately decorated with gold
trimming. On the silk side are the
following words, woven in the fabric:

THE POPULATION OF KANSAS.

Increases in Forty and Decreases in Sixty
One Counties the Past Year.
The Kansas board of agriculture,
which the law requires to supervise the
taking and compilation of the states
census each 10th year following 1879,
has completed the tabulation of in
habitants as returned by the assessors
for 1895. Compared with the enumera-
ton of one year ago 40 counties show
an increase of from IL to 4,144, aggre-
eating 3d. 46, and 81 counties a decrease
of . to 1888. aggregating $1,000. The
net decrease is shown to have been but
1868. After deducting all losses from
all causes during that period the net
increase in population since the state
census of 1885 is found to be 66,138.
The counties showing an increase of
over 1000 in population during the last
year are: Cherokee Ala, Doniphan
2,55S, Labette 1867, Leayenwcrth LAOS,
Linn 1858, Usage 1000, Saline 1881,
Shawnee 1853, Washington 1,194. The

The present population of Kansas
according to this census is L 334,66s.

One of the most mean and scurrilous
attempts to blacken the character aud
integrity of county official by false
hood and deceptive statements appear
ed in The News of yesterday. This
article was composed and Published by
the best all-around liars to be found in
the western states, being ably as
sisted by Mr. Tenant, who has more
than once shown himself liar of no
common ability.
In the fable referred to an attempt is
made to show that favoritism has
been shown in the collection Of de-
faulted taxes for 1893, and that judg-
ments have not been entered upon the
records Of the district clerks Office.
The crop failures of 1884 delayed
the collection Of taxes, and some Of the
tax warrants have only lately been
placed on file in the clerks office by
tue sheriff, and entered on the dookets
as judgments against the delinquents.
While the work was ia progress MIR.
Tenant came into the clerks office
and inquired if an abstract of these
judgments had been put on file. Mr..
Haney informed him that he was then
at work upon the list, and in putting
them in tabulated order had finished
up to the letter az"
This was as good a thing as The News
liar wanted, and looking through the
books, but not on the unfinished list,
he secured enough material to form
the foundation of the hsif.column lie
that appeared in the last issue of his
paper.
He quotes the following delinquents
which, it will be seen would be, alpha
betically, beyond the letter aE:" Good
land Commercial company, r. A. Kent
aud H. S. Groves, all of which The News
liar asserts, have no judgments on file
against them.
Tenant refers, for proof of his state
ment, to the records in the district
clerks Office, and The REPUBLIC will
call his bluff and him liar, and prove
by the same records that judgments
against the aforementioned delinou-
ents are on file in the clerks Office and
we're at the time Tenant asserts they
were not.
The law says that as soon as the re-
turns are made on tax warrants and
been filed with the district clerk, they
become a lien upon all property above
exemption owned by the delinquent.
This list of returned tax warrants,
whether entered on the books or not,
are part of the records Of the district
clerks Office, and are as subject to IN
spection as are the books.
The returns on tax warrants for 1893
show no fayOritism and a contrary
statement can by the records, be proven
false.
For several years Tenant has never
failed to publish an ante.electiOn lie,
and each time it has proven a boomer
ang, and there is no question but that
this last effort will prove no exception
to the rule.

A STEP OF PROGRESS.

The present Legislature Of North
Carolina has done stself credit and
brought honor to the name of the
State by one measure By reference
to the Legislative report, it will be
seen that a bill has passed raising the
cage of consent" from ten to fourteen
years. When we think of it, it makes
US blush to know that North Carolina
has been practically saying to her
daughters, "you can not give your in
dependent consent to marriage before
you are eighteen, nor assume control
Of your estate before the age of twenty
one, but you may trade your virtue at
ten" Perhaps only few have any
knowledge of the existence of such a
barbarous law, and we do not hesitate
to believe that there will be almos,
unanimous approval of the change.
There may be some who will sheer a,
this, as at all legislation intended &c
promote deCency and forestall the
vicious; but there will be rejoicing
among the Christian parents OF the
whole Commonwealth. All such lcsis
lation is an indication of progress
and is hailed with delight by every
good Citizen.-NeyM Carolina Chris
han AdU0fafe.

THE FUNCTIONS OF A BANK.

The South Boston Times, speaking
of the value of banking institutions to
the community in which they are
located and the influences they are
capable of exercising for good by al
liberal and judicious spirit Of accom-
mediation outside of certain prescribed
limits and channels of trade, says this
Those who can borrow money dom
want it, and those who want it and
would use it can't get it. As long as
this state of affairs exists, there can be
no real activity. Our banks must look
with more favor on that class of boz
rowers whose collateral is largely made
up Of industry, energy, and integrity.
The banks have not yet sufficiently
recovered their composure to do this
Bank officers have a great power in
business circles, to stimulate or stag
nate they often, by their willingness
or unwillingness to discount paper,
can give employment to thousands,
and on the other hand can throw
thousands out of employment. A
banks discretion is often criticized
and in his position when speedy
action is required the most practical
sense should be brought into use.
First, a bank should look to the
interest of its institutions.
Secondly, it should act in behalf Of
the welfare of its patrons.
Thirdly, it should aid in the promo.
ton of the interests of the town when
it can be done without sacrifice.
