Republican-Patriot. The Leavenwerth Times takes eight column8 of its last Sunday's edition to elaborate the well-known fact that a man can get all the intoxicating liquor he needs or wants in Topeka for the restricted purposes. The Trmea' correspondent visited twenty-three drug stores, in each of which procured intoxicating liquor by properly signing up an application.

So far as we can judge from the Times' article, if there was any fraud practiced it was by the correspondent and not by the druggists. The limes man was, presumably, a respectable appearing man, and of. all the drug stores visited there was not one, perhaps, but believed the liquor he purchased was actually needed for the purpose set forth in his application. We confess we cannot see any point to the Times1 article. The constitutional amendment restricts the sale of intox icating liquor to scientific, mechanical and medical purposes.

The people 6aid by there vote that intoxicating liquors may be sold for these purposes. If it must be sold, then somebody must be allowed to sell it. Can Mr Anthony suggest any class of men other than druggists with whom it would be safer to intrust the sale? Would he have saloons open up all over the state, as they are in Leavenworth? Itoccurs to us that the Times is on the wrong 6cent. It wonld be in better business if it should confine its energies to placing Leavenworth in the line with other towns in Kansas on the liquor question. Mr.

Anthony says himself that the pusines of Leavenworth is being ruined by the saloons. Would it not be in better taste for the Times to begin its missionary work at home? Does it seek to institute a comparison on the liquor question between Leavenworth, with its 200 saloons run ning wide open, and Topeka, with half dozen places where liquor can Jbe obtained except in the manner prescribed by law Imagine the display of rot-gut the Topeka editors could make should they send a correspondent to Leavenworth on a similar mission to that which brought the Times man to Topeka. If the Times article establishes a single fact, it is that for a city of its size Topeka is remarkable for containing no places where intoxicating liquor is sold contrary to law.

Promptly on the afternoon of the last day of the fair the draft came, accompanied by a kind and encouraging letter, saying, she took pleasure in assisting us in our enterprise. The name of this benevolent christian lady is Mrs. John D. Rochi-feller, a name that will ever be held in grateful remembrance by the Congre-! gational church of Eureka, Kansas, for her timely and generous aid.

Another scarf of the same size, kind of make and material, but finished in a less ex- pensive way, was presented by the Sunday school to the superintendent, Mr. E. Tucker.

No raffling, grab bag or lottery was made use oi to dispose of any article. A number of Japanese wares were left over, which we would like to sell.

Secretary. A ew Stock Scheme. Wil son Connty Citizen It is 6tated, on what seems to be reliable authority, that the International Range Association will establish large cattle yards at bt. I he movement grew out of the suggestion made by Governer Routt, of Colorado, some months ago, and the object is to overcome the alleged monopoly resulting irom combinations between the stock yards and dressed beef men in Chicago, by which, range men say, they are cheated out of $10 to $15 on each beast that goes to that city. They also claim that the same syndicate of eastern capitalists own and control the stock yards at East St.

Louis, Chicago, Kansas City and Denver, and that the capital invested at Ea6t St. Louis is invested there to keep out outsiders and to concentrate the cattle trade at Chicago, where they can control the market. The supposed yards at East St. Louis will be fitted up entirely bv ranee men. and will be controlled by them with close relations however, between them and commission men there.

The scheme also involves contracts with railroad comPanies through rates from the STh Bt. jouis wnere eastern buyers can pur- chase and reship to the eaBt on through ing point for the eastern market. 1 I i 1 i i haps, and with great temerity, likewise made mention of the fact that 10J elec- lorsof the First district, deeming the office of commissioner of that destrict vacant, because of Mr. Green's inexcus- able neglect in not carefully reading the statute and not following its very plain requirements in riling a proper bond, did at the late election vote for Stewart Martindale to fill the vacancy, The Jl'rall article contained noth-! ing of abuse or disparagement concern-j ing Mr. Green or any one else.

It siui- ply and truthfully informed its readers of the facts in the case, with a refer-1 ence to the statutes concerning it, and some decisions of our supreme court relating thereto. The Herald temerity in trying to keep its readers informed of matters of general intrest, aroused the ire of the editor of the Greenwood County Iiepublican, and brought down upon the head of the editor of the Herald the follow ing crushing editorial, written in Doud's usually classic style and ele- gant refined language I he editor or the Herald seems to ne terribly worried over Commissioner 1 Green. He would like to see Mr. Green micraH onH nnthor man who was se- cretlv voted for at the late election. Dut in his place, but hardly how to go about it to accomplish this feat.

Wfi will jrive Mr. liar an a liointer now, it will be a cold day when his clique! succeeds in running a "cold deck" on tl" "U1f as auu uan uccu a. luiiuiui i officer, and the peonle. not onlv of his own district, but of the entire county, will not submit to his being dethroned by mereiy a technicality. Mr.

Green will hold" the fort until the time for which he was elected expires. The same enque wuiuu isnuw irying 10 gain control oi cue commissioners is me one which once before gained control of that court and stole from Greenwood county in railroad bonds. The editor of the Herald is the gentleman who was county attorney at the time hen he could have saved the county the expense of paying these bonds, and refused to act in the interest of the people who elected him to that office. No, Mr. Harlan, you can't play any more tricks successfully upon the people of Greenwood county.

If you think you can, just "shoot your dye Mr. Green has made a splendid record as commissioner, and if he will accept his office again will be returned to his seat at the close of his present team. We hav been patient under Mr. Doud's abuse have borne his flings and insults till patience has long since ceased to bear ven a semblance to a virtue. We therefore ask the kindly consideration of our readers while we place on record the fact that W.

E. Doud, editor of the Greenwood County Republican, published at wood county, Kansas, has neither the instincts, habits nor manners of a gentleman, but, in other words, and in plainer English, is a mean, contemptible little puppy, with bench legs. Eureka Herald. We have never said one word against Mr. Harlan's private record, nor have we, to our knowledge, abused him.

We have dealt only with his official records and that being public property, we have a perfect right to do so. He has never attempted to refute what we have said of his official acts, but simply, boy fashion, curls his upper lip and calls us ugly names. Read our criticism and his comments which follow, and see, if you can, where he has offered any argument to disprove what we said concerning him two weeks ago. We are willing to be judged according to our deeds and be compared with the gentleman who calls us a puppy. Why Single Out Mr.

Green? Why does Mr. Harlan single out Mr Green, and try to make it appear that he has committed an unpardonable mistake by failing to have his bondsmen acknowledge their signatures If we remember correctly Mr. Harlan was elected county attorney in 1SS0, and re-elected in 18S2, serving in that capacity four years. The records show that during that time both Messrs. Brookover and Springer served as county commissioners and the sureties on their bonds did not acknowledge their signatures.

Why was it that Mr. Harlan did not detect these mistakes when it was his business to look after the interests of the county We doubt very much whether he knows these facts exist to-day, and would not have known it in Mr. Green's case had not some one told him of it.

the St. Louis, Fort Scott Wichita railroad company, which is a foreclosure of the first mortgage upon the road, and which case has been in the United States circuit court during the past, the second mortgagee filed an answer and cross bill, setting up its mortgage and tendering to the trustee of the first mortgage the amount of the first mortgage, and asking to redeem from the same and be subrogated to the rights of the first mortgage, and foreclose and sell the property. When the case was called jln court the counsel for the Union Trust company, Rossington, Smith Dallas, offered, upon the showing that the motion to redeem was made in good faith, not to press the motion of the trustee for the appointment of a receiver of the road.
