Woodward. The Properly Krtornrd. Last Wednesday Judge Benson had be fore him a case affecting the receiver of the Western Farm Mortgage company, Here is what the Kingman, Kansas, Leader Courier says of it: W. J. Branden was cited last Monday to appear Deiore tne uisirii Court of Douglas county, and show cause why he should not be punished fnr rnntemnt.

for interfering wiu the Dossession of certain lands and oersonal property in the hands nf Edward Russell. receiver of the Western Farm Mortgage Company, and the Missouri Vallev Land Company. which receiver was appointed by the district court of Douglas county. Bran den's interference, if there was any. was in the capacity of receiver, he hav ing been appointed by Judge Granger on an action pending in thia county, in which certain corn and other property was attached as the property of the Missouri Valley Land company.

The point maue and on which liranden is cited to appear for contempt is that the property once having been placed in the hands of a receiver by a proper court, no other court of this state would have power to dispossess him without permission of the ourt making the appointment, and that any person in any way interfering with the posession of said receiver, would be guilty of con tempt, even though acting under subsequent appointment as receiver. There are several wther receivers appointed and more contempt proceedings are looked for unless this case presents all the legal questions and solves them. Later J. Q. Jenkins, attorney for Branden, returned from Douglas county this morning, and informs us that upon hearing the Jevidence and argument of counsel in the case the state oidered that Branden turn over property in contro versy to the receiver and that he also be taxed with the costs in the suit.

them and let us send you one merits. Examine our stock Electric Light Company. THE cents per pound for To the Editor of the Owing to the fact that I was identified with and chairman of the state executive committee that succeeded in getting a portion of the claims paid, I am asked by and receive letters from persons al most daily inquiring what is the etatus of the case now and what is the prospect for further payment. It requires a great deal of time and a great deal of writing on my part to answer all communications and perscnal inquiries, and if you will be kind enough to print the follow ing it will greatly relieve me and I be lieye will accommodate and inform a large number of the patrons of your paper ot what they are anxioua to know. First, all the money that has been re ceived by the claimants baa come to ua through the state.

We, as individuals, cannot go direct to the government at Washington, but the state has to first assume the debt and the state then looks to the general government to reimburse it for the claim so assumed. Tne state has a bill now in congress for the amount it has paid us on those claims, viz $356,000 (round numbers)and Mr. Funston has been before the com mittee in the House with that claim and it has been reported favorably and re commended paid by every member of the committee, and is in very good shape to be passed. If that bill is passed and the state is remunerated every one can see that there will be very little if any difficulty in getting the balance of our claims allowed by the next legislature if we have men in the senate and in the house who will attend to the business pro perly for us, who are conversant with the facts and have the ability and standing to give weight to arguments. The bill as passed by the legislatuie which gaye us the $356,000, was a great injus tice to very many poor people.

Every one who had a claim of $1,000 or less was paid in full. If his or her claim was over $1,000 he or she received one thousand, and twenty-hve cents on teh dollar ubui the sum amounted to fifteen hundred dollars and under no circumstances should any one claimant receive a great er sum than $1500. I know rich men who received 100 cents on the dollar for their claim, paid up in full a dollar for every dollar they lost and 1 known poor widows who, under the same bill, were paid only ten cents on the dollar and their claims were legally alike all around, all were sworn to and all were allowed by the same commission appointed by the legislature of 1875 and were worded exactly alike only as to amounts of the claim. Again, that commission waa not appointed and did not sit to audit claims until twelve years after the raid. Many were away from here then and were not present to put in their claims, who were justly entitled to them.

All of them were barred out. Last legislature a bill was passed making a new commission of three state offices to allow Frank Danvers, Alexander Banks and others to appear before them snd swear to their claims. They did so and were Daid, and our senator from Baldwin voted for them. I presume to say that if Judge Thacher had been in the senate, the name of Mrs. John Hutchings and many other worthy claimants would haye been added to the list.

Lawrence was entirely ignored in that bill. The colored men suffered in proportion to the whites for Quantrells order was to shoot any nigger and his lieutenant Todd repeated the order the whole length of line. I know of many worthy colored people here now, who either from their then ignorance of what to do or temporary absence the few days the commission did sit. did not receive their certificates of loss and are now barred out, whose claims are just as honest (no more so) than Danvers and Banks, and I know of no man more fitted to attend to the Quantrell raid business that these claimants have before the coming legislature than Solon O. Thacher could be.

With him in the senate I don't think a bill would pass for the relief of parties in other parts of the state when his own constituents had claims of exactly the same nature, without Lawrence claims being included in the same bill. This may seem to some people to read like a political letter, it is not intended as such in any way shape or manner, it is a simple business proposition of my own to the claimants who are justly entitled to have some one in the legislature who will lock to their interest better than our interests have been looked after, as I see it, in the past 4 years. Judge Thacher has neyer said one word to me about writing this letter or any other letter and the first he will ever known or see it, or of it. is when he reads it in your paper. I have not had any political conversation with Judge Thacher for more than three years (I am out of politics if I ever was in,) but during the passage and before of the bill that brought us our money I had many acommunications and received much good advice from Judge Thacher about what to do and I know he is conversant with the whole matter aud is the best man in my judg- NAVY BLUE WEAVER'S IN Storm Serges, India Twills, Henrietta Cloths, London Cords, Broadcloath.

K. V. Bible School. The heat waa so oppressive yesterday that the tents were used but little. The most important meeting was at 8 o'clock last night, which assumed the form of a missionary meeting and closing with business affairs.

The first address was that of Dr. Schofield who took a text and spoka about twenty minutes upon the demands of the missionary cause and the call to send missionaries to foreign lands. He He was followed by Dr. Carter, a returned missionary with a record of twenty-five years in heathen lands, Most if not all this time was spent in th'e Celestial empire among the Chinese." His work among the Chinese as a missionary during this time could not be told in an hour, but would require several evenings and no one could help bei ng interested in his narration of events that came under his own observation China proper.is a heathen land but many of the stories that reach America about their way of living and their habits are doubtless much exaggerated. The ChinJ ese, like our own people, when convert ed to Christianity are among the best people in the world.

He, at one time. trayeled three thousand miles the densely DODulated carts of the empire and though he carried a passport in his pocket he never once referred to it and sel dom if ever was insulted. China was much oy er-rated for barbarism. He gave a glowing description of missionary work in China and referred to early missionaries and the hardships they had from time to time endured. The work of Hudson Taylor, a pioneer missionary who went out in 1X56, was dwelt upon at some lenzth.

Taylor had done more for the missionary cause in that county than probably any other of his time His lecture was replete with many incidents of Chinese life illustrative of missionary work. Dr. Carter must have been a mere boy when he entered the missionary field as his looks would hardly put him beyond 45 years of age. Elder Wilson, of Tonganoxie, read the rules last night that will govern the association while at camp "Brook." While they are somewhat strict their enforcement will be easy and require no mihiary work to enforce them. Meet- ingsoat9 a.

m. evenings. and ,2 .50 p. and in the The KlUman Ditch. To the Public: An unwarranted use has been made of my name in connec tion with the ditch matter before the county commissioners, and this use was made by the Lawrence Record, after I had told the editor not to do so.

The original petition was drawn far me by Judge Thacher as a neighborly act and he made no charge for it. Judge Thacher says that he told me at the time he drew it, that in case of cot-test it would not stand. Probably I did not understand the legal effect. The petition states, "That it is necessary to the proper drainage of the land adjacent to the ditch hereby sought to be located." without such ditch said land is liable to be overflowed and rendered useless for purposes of cultivation." The ditch did not pass through a foot of Judge Thacher'a land. The lands adiacent to the ditch and mentioned in the petition were my own.

Mr. Pennington and Mr. Smocks. I remember telling Judge Thacher at the time he drew the petition, that I did not think Pennington would question the petition. Never at any time did I tell Judge Thacher I expected him to pay for any part of the ditch.

The first time it wa suggested to me that Judge Thacher should pay for the ditch or the larger part of it, was by County Commissioner McCoy. Five months before I took the contract from the county to build the ditch, Judge Thacher filed a protest with the county commissioners.in which he said to them, he denied that my petition gave them "any jurisdiction over him or his lands." But I relied on the positive assurance of the county commissioners that it waa all right, and I took the contract with that distinct assurance and promise. I supposed they must be correct for they charged the county for forty days work, S120.00 and got their money out of the county treasury, to lay out the ditch which is not over 220 rcda long. I make thia statement at my own suggestion in fairness to Judge Thacher. He has been my neighbor for years and tas always accomodated me, selling me corn and giving me my own time to pay, trusted me to make division of hay put up by me on shares on his land, and never refused me any favor he could grant.

He defended a foreclosure of a mortgage on my farm without charge. I feel that great injustice has been done Judge Thacher in the articles published about it. I hold the old county board responsible for letting me a contract, when they must have known they had no authority to do so. I am a friend of Judge Thacher and propose to support him heartily for senator. WrtxiAM RrrzitAX.

There were a number of fights in Law rence last night. The first was at the rink at about 6 o'clock. A colored man from Topeka who ia working on the sewers here was discoyered by his wife acting as an escort for another woman.

The wife started after the truant with her fists and hit both guilty par ties some pretty good licks before sepa ration was made by the crowd. Another scrap was in that part of east Lawrence that is getting such a name for toughness. A young colored fellow named Dave Burns hit a one legged man named Sanders and caused quite a serioua wound over the eye. There was apparently no provocation for the as sault. The third row wa9 along toward morn ing at a disorderly house on Massachu setts street and was between colored in mates ot the house and some other people who had been there.

No arrests have yet been made in any of the cases. Disappearance of R.U. Meads. On the evening of uly 5, R. Meade left hia home in Atchison and told his wife that he was going to Qmaha on business.

He has not been seen or heard from since, but it is thought he went to Kansas and from there on east. Mr. Meade was in the insurance business and besides being agent waa adjuster for one of the companies. It is claimed that he owes ail the insurance companies some thins and that besides this he has had money placed in his hands for inyesi ment of which no trace can be found The total amount of money missing is not known yet. Mr.

Meade lived ia Lawrence a long time several years ago and waa yery well known here. He was principal of the high scool and a fine musical teacher, Besides this he was a worker in many different lines. He was kin to Mr. Jacob Kilworth and married Judge Charlton' oldest daughter. While here he was highly reepected by everybody.

These facts have not been made publi before because Meade's friends thought he might return. Leavenworth Takss the Second. The Lawrence ball team lost both games on the home grounds to the Leavenworth people. They were not stolen nor given away, Leavenworth simplv won them. The last game was a close one and proyed quite exciting at times.

Leavenworth was first at bat and through errors got four runs, but Law rence evened up things and also got four runs. Leavenworth got two runs in th second and another in the fifth, Law rence only got one more and that was in the third.

The summer time is an awful bad time to visit, but lots of people do it in order to get out of doing the work at home.

There were fifteen representatives of creditors of the Pendleton failure pres ent at the meeting called for yesterday' afternoon. The city marshal proposes to have all the weeds cut to the gutter line, but this won't help matters much as long as those in the street are not cut.
