For Contempt of Court.

Henry B. Williams of COrbin, was
arrested by Sheriff Heskett Friday
afternoon and brought to this city that
night on the charge of contempt of
court in diSregarding writof replevin
served on wheat in his possession by
the sheriff. He was taken before
Judge Burnette, who ordered him
to turn the replevined wheat over to
the sheriff and commanded him to ap-
pear at the September term of district
court to answer to the charge of con-
tempt. Williams was given his liber-
ty upon promise to regard the courts
order and appear for trial.
Henry Knowles of this city, and Mr..
Williams have been having for some
time. Knowles brought an ejectment
suit in district court against Williams
to get him off the farm. The court
decided against Knowles and he ap-
pealed it to the supreme court. The
supreme court granted Knowles a
new trial. Pending the outcome of
this suit, Knowles replevined the
wheat crop On the farm. Williams
disregard of this replevin is what got
him into trouble.

A Real Blood Remedy.
Will be an Independent Candidate.
Daily Journal. Saturday

Daily Journal, Saturday
Judge j. A. Ray has again annOun-
ced his intention of running for dis
trict judge on the Independent ticket
in case he does not secure the POpu.
list nomination. He doesn't stand
the ghost of show Of securing the
POpuliSt nomination, therefore the
Independent route is the only way
left open for him to the judgeship.
Yesterday W. #. Mcbride, who is
the Demo Pop candidate for the nom
inatiOn for Judge of the Nineteenth
Judicial district, went to Ray and
prOpOSeI, in the interest Of peace and
harmony to divide the judicial dele
cation from the Fourth ward of the
city of Wellington. The Fourth ward
is entitled to three delegates. Ray,
Mcbride and Newt Caldwell, all resi-.
dents of the ward, are candidates
for the nomination for Judge before
the convention next Tuesday. 1t was
thought proper and right, therefore,
to divide the Fourth ward delegation
among the three candidates. Ray
absolutely refused 10 acQUieSce in the
proposition, for the reason that such
action would in a sense bind him tC
the action of the convention. He
told Mr.. Mcbride that he was not
ready to trust his fate with the wire
workers of a political convention
that in the event he failed to re-
ceiye the nomination before the Pop
ulist convention next Tuesday, he
proposed to make the race anyway
The POpulists will not give him the
nomination.
Therefore Mr.. James A. Ray will
be candidate for the judgeship or
an Independent ticket.

According to the Florence Bulletin
there is pitiful object in the Chase
county poorhOuse in the person of a
simple fellow known as "JOhn." His
affection was brought about through
a sunstroke some five or six years ago.
Be is absolutely without volition. If
given a job ne will perform it thor
oughly and well, but will not know
when it is completed. If he sat down
to good meal he would starve IN.
less someone told him to eat. On the
other hand, he would eat until he
killed himself il not told to stop.
The superintendent always has to
start and stop him at the table, just
as though he were piece Of machin-
cry. He must be told everything and
he viii do anything he is told. Once
started upon task, he appears to
bring to it an average amount of 10
telligence.

WHEREAS, The finance committee,
after full and careful examination
of the financial resources OF the City
OF Wellington, believe that the
proposition made by the city council
to the Wellington Water company

proposition as this city is able to
make, in view OF the present cOndi-
tiOn Of It's tinanceS; therefore be it
Resolved, BY the mayor and cOun-
cilmen Of the CityOt Wellington, that
if said Wellington Water company re-

thirty days, or some other proposition
equally as favorable to the City of
Wellington, that Councilman Graf,

mittee, be and they are hereby ap-
pointed a committee to investigate
and report to this council the most
expedient method Of fire protection,
ETC., other than the present system"
The above resolution leaves the in

proposition for a settlement is not

other lenient proposition is not made

Several Kansas men are already in
the KlOndyke country and have made
winnings. One of them is Tim Con.
nelley Of Rush county, who has been
10 Alaska more than year and who
writes to his people that he has struck
it rich. When this news came to
Lacrosse a lot Of fellows there made
up a purse and started Pat Connelley.
brother Of Tim, for the gold digglnps,
probably on the theory that Irish
luck ran in the family. Another
Kansas man who is believed to have
struck it rich is Dave Rearick of Bar
ton county. He went to Klondyke a
year ago and sent his sister at Film
wood 50 in gold dust which was the
product of the first pan washed out in
his claim. Since then nothing defn-
ite has been heard from him.

His Eiftieth Anniversary.

Yesterday was the tiftieth anniver-
sary of the birth of Rev. BOOz +.

of This city. His neighbprS, the Grand
Army If the Republic, the W"mans'
R lief Corps, the congregation Of his
chu cl, he ministerial union Of this
city. his friends and acquaintance
aud everybody 10 general paid HON.
age to him on that account.
narly yesterday morning Rev. Pugh
was reminded Of the gratitude and
WI. s.cs 81 his friends by finding
an elegant rocking chair on his front
p1rcn. Subsequent investigation dis.
Closed the fact that it was the gift Of
the ncIsnoJrs in his immediate vlcin-
icy. Flowers and bouquets IN large
number and variety were sent in to
the reverend gentleman all through
tie day, as tokens from friends ana
admirers.
Along towards evening, about 5
O'Clock, the Minister'S union came to
Rev. Pugh's residence in a body and
presented him with beautiful ink
stand. Rev. H. A. Doughty, pastor
of the Baptist church, made the pre-
sentation speech on behalfOf the min
listers of the city.
In the evening the Grand Army
boys, the WOmans' Relief Corps, and
the congregation of the Lutheran
church gathered at the parsonage and
celebrated the occasion in a fitting
manner. The WOmans' Relief Corps
furnished refreshments, consisting Of
ice cream, cake, etc, which were
served in one of the private rooms of
the church.
Judge Woods, on behalf of the
GAR, the Lutheran congregation
and Rev. Pugh's family, presented
the reverend gentleman with an ele-
CANT table lamp, a fine gold watch and la
beautiful gold chain. The table lamp
was the gift of the Grand Army boys:
the gold watch was presented by Rev.
Pugh's wife, sons and daughters, and
the gold chain was a token from the
members OF the Lutheran cOngrega-
tion. Judge Woods was selected for
the task Of presenting to Rev. Pugh
each of the three presents. This he
did in an effective and touching mau-
ner.
The evening was passed in various
social ways and everything was done
to make the occasion a memorable
one to Rev. Pugh, in whose honor it
was given.-Daily Journal, 9th,

Dividend Declared.

Receiver B. j. Sheridan Thursday
declared % per cent dividend to de-
pOSitOrs in the Sumner National bank,
The work Of making out the checks
to depoSitOrs for their pro rata share
was done Friday. The checks will
have to be sent To the comptroller OF
! the currency at Washington to re-
ceive his signature, when they will be
returned Immediately TO Receiver
Sheridan and the depOsitOrs will re-
ceive their, money. The checks will
be here about the 18th inst.
This is the second dividend the Sum-
ner National bank has declared. The
first dividend of 10 per cent was de-
clared by J. Sam Brown about year
ago. Mr.. Sheridan informs US that a
second dividend of 10 per cent could
have been declared six weeks ago,
but that he saw bis way clear to de-
claring a % per cent dividend by
waiting awhile, and he decided to
do so.
When the dividend of 10 per cent
was declared by Mr.. Brown, there
were about S11, 900 worth Of improved
claims against the bank which were
entitled to share of the dividend.
These claims have since been proved
I'D. and the persons holding them
will receive IS per cent dividend
this time.
This % per cent dividend means the
paymeut of about $1,000 to the
banks depOsltOrs.
Receiver Sheridan deserves a great
deal of credit for the manner in
which the interests of depOsitOrs 10
the defunct banks OF Wellington are
being looked after. He is giving his
entire time and attention toward
Strengthening out the affairs of the
banks of which he is receiver, and
the object of making them pay dollar
for dollar to unfortunate depOSitOrs
is his sole aim. With continued good
crops anything like fair market for
real estate in this county, we predict
that the business of Strengthening out
the affairs of these banks will soon be
finished and the depositors will have
no complaint to make.

scratch chioger bites when in COM

custom mas been TO pay but little at

the cEiggers which were boarding

some people, however, who make a
point on location, and object to
scratching when the chigger is at
