Favors Bradley for Congress.

Desloge, Mo-, Sept. Sth.
EDITOR TINES: ] see in the pa
pers from various parts of the
country that Senator j l.. Bradley
is doomed extensively for Congress
AS | was his clerk from this (St.
Francis) county, and knowing
as ] do of the good work he has
done for his people as senator, !
feel | ought to say something in re-
gard to his candidacy for Congress.
He has certainly made one of the
ablest senator's the people have ever
sent to represent them in the legis-
lative halls Of this State. He was
always seen at his desk ready and
willing to fight the battles of the
common people. He seemed to
have their best interests at heart;
therefore | am satisfied that the
people feel very grateful to Senator
Bradley for what he has done for
them as q Representative and Sen.
ator of this State. He has been
tried in both houses and was not
found wanting in his duty to the
people. Therefore | have not the
least doubt in my mind but that
the people of the 18th congressional
district will give him their full sup.
port if he should desire to enter the
congressional race on his past rec
ord as u Senator and Representa-
tive.
| also wish TO say n good wore
for our Representative, Hon. 10
seph Dunklin. He is man tina
was always seen at his desk doin!
what he could for the best interest
of the people. He introduced som
good measures in their behalf, ant
if he should enter the race for re
election, feel that he is entitled t,
their full support on the merits o
, his past record as a legislator.

The Sabbath.

The Rev. A j. Henry, Congrc,
gationalist, Brooklyn, n. y:
Sabbath is to he considered as q
permanent institution; not national
nor racial, but universal. It is
designed to teach men their proper
relation to divinity; that they are
dependent upon God MS author OF
all created good, ard benefactor OF
all that he has created. The Sab
bath is not designed as attributive
to Gods glory; that glory can not
be enhanced; but to build up man
whose duty it is to glorify God.
The Sabbath must be spent not in
labor, nor yet in frolicking, but in
holy rest all that day.

THE KONA CASE
IS REOPENED
SUPREME COURT TAKES UP MAT
TER-APPOINTMENT OF A RE
CEIVER HELD TO BE ILLEGAL.

The Supreme court this morning is
sued a writ of certiorar to Judge Ed
ings of the Third circuit court, i'm the
matter of the suit of McChesney 4
Sons against the Kona Sugar Com
pany The writ was issued on pc
tition presented in behalf of Jacob
Coerper by Attorney Henry e. Highton.
The hearing will serve to reopen the
old case in which a receiver was APP
pointed For Kona plantation, and a sale
Of the plantation was ordered.
Coerpers petition alleges that he is
the owner of $780, 600 worth of stock in
the Kona Sugar Company and sets
forth at length the various legal pro-
ceedings before Edings. NJ. T. Scott
was first appointed receiver and was
later succeeded by f. l.. Dortch, who
tried to sell the plantation under an or
der of the court. Dortch advertised a
sale for December 4, but there was no
bidder and he postponed the sale to
December Is. Again no bidder appear
ed and the sale was given up for the
time, but Dortch intends to offer the
property again, says Coerper.
The petition sets forth that there is
a large crop OF sugar on the plantation
which is rapidly deterioratng i'm value
being attacked by cattle and rats. The
plantation owes large sums of money,
which it might pay if the sugar were
harvested, but Coerper objects to a
contract which he alleges Dortch has
made for the harvesting An order
was secured from Judge Edings allow
ing the receiver TO make a contract by
which the harvesting might be done
or percentages basis, but Coerper
says that Dortch has made a contract
by which those who are to do the
harvesting will mako 0rty mr. efyyt,r
thousand dollars out of the job.
Coerper asks that the receiver be en-
joined from further proceedings and
that Edings also be enjoined, and that
all of the many orders made in the
matter by Edings be declared void on
many legal grounds. It is claimed that
the appointment of a received was lille
the appointment of a receiver was ille-
the court made instructing the receiver.
such orders being in excess of the
courts jurisdiction
