ity that trtey been clamoring' for a respectable to take its Farm Loans a Specialty At Reasonable Rates. Office with United States National Bank. YOU'D BETTER QUIT. The Blue Grass Sessions, Near the Reservoir, Must Cease. A couple of responsible citizens came to our office Thursday morning and told us the following disgusting story: They had been out in the country on business and were detained, and it was nearly midnight when they returned to the city.

As they drove through the woods south of the city, near the reservoir, thcycame upon a high toned, silk stocking young man of this city in a little too clqsjs proximity to a certain married woman ofj Atchison, whose husband is. away from home. We are tempted to give the names of this couple. The young man has a father, mother and two grown up sisters living in the city, who are among our most respectable people, and should wo give his name it would bring shame and disgrace to the family. have no love for this young buck, and were it not for his family we would print his name in big black letters and give it to the world.

lie ought now in the days of his youth have his eye teeth cut. So far as the woman is concerned, should we, give her name a divorce would be the result. She would bo cast off, and out into the world would soon drift into a house of prostitution, and on account'of the terrible results we forbear giving names, but we say to this couple you had better let up and in the future be decent. Should your profligacy be brought to our notice the second time, we will give your names, even though it should take the shingles off the roof. Almost daily our attention is called to the fact of men and women of both colors meeting each other out in the woods and brush adjoining the city.

White men have been Been in company with colored women. Married men with unmarried women and with the wives of other men have been detected coming out of the brush between the hours of nine and twelve. It is unnecessary for us to guess at the mission of these night owls, hut we are safe in saying they do not go out there to hold a prayer meeting. Did we but publish the names of some of these men who hold these blue grass festivals, and whoso names we have, there would be a greater stink in this city than was caused by the packing houbes in East Atchison. For heaven's sake let up.

When people are so far gone as to allow their passions to degrade them lower than dogs it is high t'rne that a halt was called. The Times will see that a halt is called to this hazle-brush wickedness. The very next man and woman caught and evidence sufficient is furnished so that no mistake will be made, we will print their names and see if this will not have a slight tendency towards breaking up this damnable outrage upon decency. A paper is needed in this city that will speak out "fearlessly for the good of all classes and not be the tool for a few scab schemers, whoso only object is to fill their pockets at the expense of the property owners and laboring classes of this community. When in January we purchased our "sack of type" for'our' own vindication against the attacks of this low, degraded sheet, known as the we had no trouble to drive its cowardly editor' into his hole, As soon as it was discovered that we could handle immaculate lamb, Sir Edward, with no difficulty whatever, the citizens of this city and county urged us to continue the publication of the DATtftf Times.

Several of our leading business men came to us and offered to donate money for the purpose of putting in a fine office if we would edit the paper. One man offered us $300, another $300, another $250 and so on, and it would have been no trouble to secure the money to purchase a first-class outfit At that time we thought we had given the ring such a blow they would let us alone in the future, and permit us to go ahead with our business, so we ceased the publication of our vindicator. In this we were mistaken, for as soon as the paper stopped, the ring, thinking Still Missing. The Ostertag case still remains a mj-s-tery. Mrs.

Ostertag, wife of the janitor at the Central School and mother of eleven children, the youngest To the Editor of tho Weekly Times: Knowing that John N. Reynolds would not give the full report of the mass meeting Monday evening (especially that portion of it which would refer to himself), I will come to the front once mort and will give a disinterested and true report Of the same. The meeting was to have been held at Corinthian Hall. The time for its com: mencement was 8 o'clock, but before sundown that large and capacious hall was filled to its utmost capacity, and at 8 o'clock the street in front of the hall was filled with people anxious for admittance. Reynolds took his stand upon the platform and spoke some fifteen minutes.

The clamor was so great upon the outside to hear him that the large audience in the hall were invited to go out on tho streets, as Reynolds would finish his speech in the open air so that all the people could hear him. The speaker crowded his way through the dense throng and ascended the balcony of the opera house, under, the electric light, where hd spoke for nearly two hours to over 5,000 people'. Sdme estimated the audience at 10,000. Fourth street was densely packed from Commercial street to Kansas avenue. Never before did so large a crowd come together in Atchison to listen to a speaker.

Some years ago Senator Ingalls spoke from the balcony of the Otis house, but ho such crowd greeted him, with all his popularity, as came out to hear Reynolds Monday night. During the entire time of the speech this vast crowd stood in tho street and listened with rapt attention. Continued cheers greeted the speaker, and it was evident from the demonstration of that evening that the people are with the mart whom tho Atchison ring sent to jail. If one of those scab lawyers who have been persecuting this man Reynolds should announce that he would address the people, how many would come out and stand in the streets for two long hours to hear him talk? The best thing these scabs can do is to admit that they struck a buzz saw when they lit upon Reynolds, and it is policy and prudence for them to back down and let this man alone in the future and allow him to attend to his business.

According to previous announcement John N. Reynolds delivered an address at Corinthian halll or rather begun it in the hall and finished from the balcony in front of tho opera house. The hall was packed to Its utmost capacity, and groat crowds kept arriving at tho outside and going away, unable oven to got up the stairway lend n.f to the hall. At last the pressure was so gioit that Mr.

Reynolds was obliged to adjoiiru to tho opon air where he was greeted by a tremendous crowd. His spoech was a review of tho late troubles and some of his enemies were handled pretty severely.

Tho Globe and the Champion may abuse the Patriot, but the people can readily see that the latter paper is ever ready to do justice to all, even to its rivals. made. During the week, four men standing at the railroad bridge saw a corpse floating down the river. It was THE CHUMPION. BY STELLA.

In this he failed, and the case remains as great a mystery as ever.

A couple of the officers on the police force informed us that they also had a conversation with the brick yard men, and it was stated to them that a body was seen floating down the river. Ostertag was accused of inventing- this story, but his statements were found to be true as to receiving this information. An opinion seems to be gaining ground that Ostertag murdered his wife and then put her out of the way. It is reported that a great many conflicting Stories are hfiintr told liv mnmlwra of thn tuat was the end of it, began again their persecutions and soon we found ourselves in jail. We revived the paper and while in prison edited it and sent it out a weekly.

Since out release the people have urged us to revive the daily, and we haye decided to do. So instead of receiving donations for our Times fund wo have set-Hied upon the following plan: A company Will be organized, made up of five responsible persons, to be known as the "Times Publishing Company." The capital stock of this company will bo $5,000, divided into 500 shares of $10 each. The subscription linnVa of thp nomrinnv will lie nnnnnd From the County Jail. To tho Kdilor of tho Weekly Times. Doc Krohn uses up a half column in the Champion in feeding some poor fellows on Sixth street witli brimstone, because the said follow is trying to become a fiddler.

It must be a little "raspy" to the neighbors, but we can discount that fiddle fellow. Up in our end of town there resides near the County Jail, an ambitious young man who is trying his lungs on a brass horn. He has become so far advanced as to be able to make a llat-dying-call'-kind of a sound on the instrument. Every night this young man gets out on the back porch and plays at "Home, Sweet Home" on that brass horn. The neighbors down on Sixth street can break and run, and thus get away from their fiddler, but what in the name of common sense is a fellow going to do when a brass horn is turned loose on him and he can't get away on account of iron bars? If special providence don't interfere pretty soon and remove this brass horn persecutor wo will have our faith in "Daniel in the lion's den" shaken.

Hom Fiend. family. We advise the people to go slow in accusing Mr. Ostertag of so grave a crime as the murder of his wife, and the mother of his eleven children. 'When there is evidence of his guilt, then will be time enough to inflict punishment upon hire.

But we do not think it right' for the newspapers to judge a man Itev. Mr. Howell. guilty, without any evidence supporting such a judgment, and create a public sentiment against this man. Newspapers have hung too many innocent men already.

District Conference. The District Conference of the M. E. Church has been in session during the past week. The exercises were held at Kansas Avenue Church, Dr.

Dcnnison presiding, with E. R. Brown secretary. There were thirty-five preachers and church stewards present. Rev.

O. Brun-ner's license was renewed, while that of A Campbolllto minister from Weston, recently arrived In East, Atchison and started a series of meotings. The people did not like him much, and finally a local bard wrote a poom ridiculing him, which was posted In a conspicuous place. The pootry was generally read, and seemed so good that tho preaoher was laughed out of town. Ollobe.

The facts in this case are that a minister by the name of Howell was sent to East Atchison by the proper authorities of the Christian Church. He is a good man and stands high in the estimation of his fellow workers. Some low snide wrote up a few verses about this minister and Dr, Myers, of this city, and put them up In the darkness of the night on the saloon doors, thus trying to lay this piece of meanness upon the saloon men, who deny having any thing to do with it. It is supposed now that the local bard who did this writing was no other than a certain attache of the Globe office whose forte Is writing wishy-washy ridiculous poetry. This Globe outfit tackled one preacher on a certain time and was glad to let go of him, It will certainly be healthy for this institution of perfidy to go slow in attacking ministers of the gospel in the future.

(Jueer Friendship, Doc Krohn was considerably hurt on account of the statement made about him by the Times last week. He went out upon the streets and told Reynolds' friends that he never wrote that insult ing article against Reynolds; neither did he know it was in the Champion until after its appearance. He claims further that he has always been a friend of Reynolds, and that he still is a friend, The above may all be true. We hope it is. When DoC was in trouble we always said a good word for him.

It is a pleasure for tho Times to help deserving men up when they are down. But we remember distinctly that when the petition was being circulated for Reynolds' release from jail, and had the signatures of fully 5,000 people, Doc Krohn was such a warm friend of Reynolds that he was among the few who refused to sign the petition. Again, that article which appeared in the Champion Was one of the most cutting things that has been written about us, and it seems strange that Doc Krohn, being the editor in charge of that paper, did not know of its being there. We would have considered ourself below tho worm if we had not resented such an insult and such a lie, Whom were wo to strike at if it was not the man in chargo and who was responsible? If Krohn is sincere in his friendship, and is not a two-faced fraud, vlet him come out in a card in the Champion, over his own signature and ex- tliis matter, and Reynolds will do Mr. Mauzey was rejected.

A committee was appointed to make arrangements for a district camp meeting. The ses Oathrle'g Generosity. The following is a sample of the big heartedness of the so called General Guthrie, of Atchison, the man who wants to go to Congress so badly that he dreams of it by night and thinks of it by day. During the grasshopper times when poverty seemed to stare the farmers in the face, and many of them were so poor as to be unable to pay their taxes, there was a widow by the name of Mrs. Housel, who owned a claim in Brown County.

At that time this lady was in poor circumstances, her farm was sold for taxes and W. Guthrie bought in the tax-title. She was unable to redeem her land, and Guthrie sent a man to her to buy her rights and offered her the sum of $60. She could do nothing else under the circumstances but to take the $60. A few days thereafter Guthrie sold the widow's farm for $1,300, paid the poor woman $60 and put the rest in his pocket.

Another instance: Guthrie has a farm or two, which he secured in tho same manner, on Rock Creek, in Doniphan County. He has them rented out, and has some ponies and cattle on them. He instructed the tenants residing on these farms that when the assessor came around to tell him that the ponies and cattle did not belong to him, thus trying to defeat the county out of its just rights. Guthrie has a law library worth $10,000. He put it in at such a price as to pay taxes on $250, thus boating the county out of its just rights, Such a man as this should be sent by the people to some other seaport instead of to Congress.

Can't Ho Helped. Sir Edward Howe reads the hand writing on the wall. Coming, events cast their shadows before, and the renowned editor is at present lingering in the shadows of coming events, He has that word "Downed" on tho brain, llo is greatly terrified over tho fact that the Daily Timks will soon coins upon the field, and ho has good reasons for his alarm. Tho newsboys of tho city are tho best source from which to got Information as to the popularity of tho newspapers During tho past week the Globe news boys havo come to us and asked permission to carry tho Timics, saying that fully two-thirds of tho Globe subscribers had notified them that as soon as the Times was issued as a daily, they would drop the Globe and take tho Timks. This doubtless is tho reason why Howe Is sending forth his pitiful wails of alarm.

He should not lament so much now, as ho brought this ruinous disaster upon and ho alone is responsible. sion was a very interesting one, much ousiness or Importance being transacted. The next session of tho conference will bo held at Centralia in October. One of tho most pleasing features of the exer next Monday. Instead of asking the people to subscribe for the stock of the company, there will be issued by the company certificates of indebtedness in amount of $10 each, drawing 10 per cent, interest, payable semi-annually, and these certificates will be sold at their par value to those desiring to aid this enterprise, yi These certificates will be subject to "call; that is, as fast as money accumulates in the treasury they will be paid.

The certificates will also be a lien upon the entire printing outfit and the good will of the company, and thus rendered "gilt-edge" security. Business men investing und who may wish to advertiso their business in the Tim kb can pay for the same with this paper of the company, We have made these shares small so that our friends can aid us and not be burdened. The city will be thoroughly canvassed next week by our solic The money secured from this source be invested In a first-class printing press and other material necessary for the publication of the paper. From the encouragement wo have received thus far are satisfied the money will all be raised within one week. Wo believe that Reynolds has 500 ten-dollar friends who will Invest for tho purpose cises was the ahlo and instructive ad Ought to be Looked After, Mr.

Vincent Jesse, who has been working for the past two months at the home of Mrs. Sadio Farmer, wife of a Presbyterian minister, who is at present in Pittsburg, came to our olllco on Wednesday, and made a statement of facts which ho says ho is willing to swear to, and which if true show a terrible state of A poor orphan girl, some four year ago, was sent out from the orphans home, at Pittsburg, and placed with Mrs. Bailie Farmer, who lives on a farm throe miles west of Huron, Mr. Jesse says this girl is half starved, cruelly beaten and treated a groat deal worse than negroes of tho south in slavery times, llo further says tho girl is intelligent, obedient and willing to work, Ho says she Is compelled to do twice as ninth work as she ought to, Ho went to County Attorney Tag and asked him to prosecute this hcnrtlcsj and cruel woman, but Tag refused to havo any thing to do with tho easu. llo next went to Judge Sceva, but It seems he obtained no satisfaction.

Wo wish all our young people in the city could havo been present. They would have been amply repaid for their time. The ministers from a distance wore royally entertained by the good people of Atchison, and before thoy returned to their homos many of them dropped Into tho Timks office and asked us to say "thank you" for thein. alter ne is convinced that Krohn i 1: 1 Reynold Don't Want Damage. Since Reynolds had to lay in jail for ten weeks for nothing, and since he has a good case against the county for false imprisonment, the question is asked him almost daily why ho don't bring an ac tlon and 111 ako tho county smoke.

Reynolds' reply to all this is that his case has cost tho county enough already. Should ho bring an action and get dbm-ages, it would all como off the taxpayers. The great majority of tho farmers and proporty holders are warm friends of Reynolds, and he don't feel disposed to do any thing to heap up additional taxes upon his Could he bring an action against tho scabs who have been persecuting him, ho would gladly do this, but Judgment against them would amount to nothing, as they are nearly all a set of comparative paupers. Roy nolds would rather let the damages go-and seo the. people wipe out this ting.

Tho people of this city not only rejoiced Monday evening when It was announced that tho Timbb would soon bo issued as a dally, but when they are askod to como to the front and aid In the enterprise, they will do It cheerfully. Tho Globe has been in tho habit lately of calling St. Joo a stingy old town, and recited as an Instance that an effort was mado to raise $5,000 dollars for a hospital, and after skirmishing about for sev cral weeks only $8,800 was raised. How about Atchison? Dr. Mulford came out In all tho city papers and asked the people to contribute $50 for tho purpose of building a shed for a home to shelter a' destitute family in the west part of tho city.
