Thirty-three acres of land belonging to the company was sold IQ John Fuhrman, the same going for two-thirds of the appraisement, $2,2(H). and this was dirt cheap. A horse was olso eold, but outside of this there: was nothing doing. Receiver Charlie Voglewede and Auctioneer John Spuhler did their level best to start something, but their efforts were all in vain. There were simply no bidders tor the plant and no inducement could make them. The situation is one in which neither the receiver, his attorney or any one else can make any prediction or plans for the future. The appraised valuation is now so low that a further reduction is not even a possibility, and the only thing now considered is that some one who knows this business will offer the present appraised value and close the matter up. No further instructions will come from the court until it'-meets the first of September, and until then ft is likely the matter will .remain as it is now. * ; . -o — — HE HITS CANNON Congressman Murdock Makes Reply to the Speech of Cannon. KANSAS POLITICS Getting a Warming Up From Both Elements of Republican Party. Emporia, Kans., July 20 —Congressman Victor Murdock, Kansas, insurgent in the house of representatives, following in the wake of Speaker Cannon, defended the insurgent cause in his first political speech of the campaign. He said that Mr. Cannon "for thirty years has been opposed to locomotion fa any direction,” charged him with affiliations with Tammany and declared that the greatest thing the insurgents accomplished in the last session of congress was to put the speaker off the committee on rules. "Speaker Canndn for thirty rears has been opposed to locomotion in any direction," he said. more/than a quarter of a century he has stobd out against progress. He is not only a standpatter, but a standstlller. During his political life he has opposed about all the progressive legislation that has been offered and the wonder is that so much of It has managed to creep into the statute books. He op- ! posed the federal Inspection of meats, he stood opposed to irrigation, to ourj rency reform, to pure food laws and regulations, to civil service reform and to pi-actlcally ail progressive leg*- , islatlon since the Civil war.” — , j"y 1 o l — t - ** ■ MODERN WOODMEN SOCIAL.
