The following message has been received here by Re ceiver Wilson of thaJ Atchison road, from Judge Caldwell of the Uulted States court. Judge Caldwell is now in Michigan on a pleasure trip : "Men in the employ af the receivers of the' Atchison railway system must discharge all their usual and accus tomed duties or quit tho service of the receivers altogether and permit other men to take their places. Any or all employes can quit the service of tho company it they deslrtCdo so, but when they quit, they must not Inter fere in any manner with tho property or the operation of the road or the men employed to take their places. Any such interference will be promptly dealt with as contemptof court. I can not believe the boycott order was in tended to be put in operation on roads in the custody of the United Stales courts and operated by receivers ap pointed by the court, but if such is the case, the authors of the boycott order and the men to whom they are ad dressed must understand that the court will not tolerate any Interference with the operation of the road by their re ceivers from any caueo whatever." OAMADIAN PACIFIC FREE. The A. S. TJ. Does Not Affect Its Trains in Any Way. J. L.

Balkm, June 28, 1894. Editor Jeurnal: Yesterday's Journal coutalnB a letter from B. J. Hendricks, in which he attempts to shift the blame for the mismanagement of the State Reform school from his own shoulders and heap odium upon those whom he chooses to call dis charged men. This letter is evidently prompted by a bitterness of soul and labors to dis prove affidavits that were receutly pub lished from discharged men. Wo wish to emphatically state that these affidavits were written and signed after due deliberation, and founded on what has been seen and heard at the Reform Bchool,and are absolutely true. Thoy have been confirmed by nt least two members ot the grand Jury, largely by Mr. J. B. Stump, of the committee of the Humane Boclety, by many ot the citizens in the vicinity of the Re form school and those who have been around the school recently. We oannnt believe that for simply making affidavit to the plain truth, that they stand ready ut any time to verify, that the public, to which Mr. Hendricks appeals, would wlthoui more information than Is coutalned in his letter, stigmatize as perjurers any body of men. These affidavits were furnished by re quest of the committee of the Humaae society, and were afterwards published in a dally paper of this .city. We would call attention for one moment to Mr. Hendrick'H denial. He says? "Oue of these dlschaged men makes solemn oatnjthat ho was or dered to make a boy eat manure, men tioning the boy by name." The oath referred to mentions no boy's name, nor 1b there anything Bald in it about "eating" manure. What Mr. Hen drlek'rt did say is Just as tho oath states: "dee that these boys carry a handful ol manure to every hill, and if they mlso a bill, rub the manure In their mouths, aid report them to me this evening and I'll rub in more." Neither of tho three men, in whose presence this order was given by Supt. Hendricks, has ever said that the ordor applied to any boy in particular but to all alike, as the above oath shows, The mandate to "rub manure in the boys' mouths" did go forth from the mouth of Supt. Hendricks, and how over nauseating it may seem now, if It was done at all was done by his order, and no officer was discharged for it. Tho statement is made that a large percentage of boys of the school receive no corporal punishment at all. It is also true that a large percentage do re ceive corporal punishment. Near the latter part of May, when tboro were about eighty-nine boys In sohool, thirty of those who were supposed to bear marks, were examined, and twenty four of the number bore unmistakable evidence of corporal punishment. There were certainly scarred boys In school at that time. That there are weeks together that pass without any case of corporal pun ishment, is possibly true prior to the latter part of the year 1893, and it like ly has been Verified since the revolt In the latter part of May. But between the dates of Dee. 25th, 1893, and May 80th, 1894, there positively has not been a fortnight rolled by that corporal pun ishment has not been administered by F. II. Bryant at the Reform school. Might after night, successively, boys have been taken to the "strapping room" and whipped sometimes only one or two boys and sometimes eight or nine. It has always been Bryant's cus tom, when there were a number of boys to be wblpped,to line up, size rank in the school room, and march them to the strapping room, Mr, Hendricks makes the assertion that the "discharged" officers found no fault with the severity of the discipline while there, and in the nexlseateaee states that It was not severe enough for them. On the evening the NperiBletideBt was questlonlag Louis NeJsoa, before he received uw tmserelful beallBg, aa officer iu whoso ebarge the bey bad been. Interceded aad expressed t tbe superintendent his belief ot tbe boy's Innocence. When Batumi Ctiereber was shackled last winter wkb an (fob Highest of all in Leavening Power. I-atest U. S. Gov't Report M. X. m ABSOLUTELY PURE that was too tight for him, it was not removed nor loosened till after tho per sistence of an officer. Before this shackle was removed the flesh had swollen until the Iron was almost hid den, and corruption had formed next to the iron. Ou the 25th of April, when Johnny McNamara was whipped for truthfully answering a lady officer when asked if the r uperiutendeut had honored a re port sent In by her on the previous day, and also telling the school that the boy Lad told a falsehood, every officer pres ent was Indlguant, aud after Johnny McNamara had been "strapped," the register was looked to and showed tho boy had told the truth. It was after this the (Ulcers decided to have things rectified on penalty of losing their posi tions. Tho complaint of tho dissatisfied of ficers to the board of trustees was not confined to tho "severity" of the dis cipline as Mr, Hendricks' letter would Indicate. They protested as tho letter will show, against the entire system as applied by the present management as wholly Inadequate to govern and re form boys. The officers claim that the suierlutendeut could not or did not correct boys. He had not their respect. They openly said in his presence that be was good at making promises but never filled them. When a boy was Bent to the assistant for correction, whether ho was pun ished lightly or soverely depended on tho caprice of the assistant's temper, rather tlian'beltfg" commensurate with the enormity of the offense, sometimes It may have been just while at others the flesh would be lacerated beyond all reason, In referring to that part of the hu mane society's late report that is bas ed on the statement of the manage ment as against other officers, it would have been the part of Justico to have quoted the following also, founded on uncontradicted statements of those Mr. Hendricks would now make amenable for all wrongs that have been practiced at the reform schoel: "It is tho sonso of your committee that the officers ot tho institution and especially the disciplinarian should be men of middle age, with some experience In dealing with boys and who posses? those men tal and physical qualities which will at once command the respect of the boys of the Institution aud tend to develop their better natures." The following was not fonuded on tho evidence of any discharged officer; ''The women employed should possess such characters as will place them willingly In a position of mothers of tho boys." In bis closing appeal Mr. Hendricks asks the public to accept tho extenua ting circumstances that he was de ceived by "lying lips" of these men and they were discharged as soon as the enormity of their acta were found out. We confess Inability to under stand Just how Mr. Hendricks means that he was deceived by "lying lips.'' If It Is as he Itimates, that all the cruel ty Is due to "discharged officers,"!! cer tainly will be difficult to couvluco the Impartial public that those speaking scars were put on the boys without the knowledge of either the superintendent or his assistant. In conclusion we wish to Bay, Mr. Hendricks has read our affidavits. He says they are false and that we who made them are "perjurers." If they are false, they are libelous, and If libel ous are actionable. The courts are open to Mr. Hendricks. Let him start the ball rolling. We have at least enough money that can be got at In case Mr. Hendricks wins and we pledge our selves, If given the opportunity, to sus tain these affidavits, and furthermore, will reveal things more Indecent than bave yet been charged against the man agement of the Reform school.

North Yakima, Wu June 20.' Temporary organization of .the Popu list state convention was e fleeted yes terday by electing T. J. Miller, of Thurston, chairman, and E. O. Rusk, of Klickitat, secretary. After appoint ment of the usual committees the con vention adjourned until afternoon. There are about 160 delegates present aud another hundred are said to be on the tied-up trains. Candidates are numerous for congress, The avowed candidates are W. P. C. Adams, of Whatcom, L. E. Rader, of Pierce, and W. D. Mayer, or Garfield. Patriok Henry Winston could have the nomi nation from Eastern Wasblugton If he would accept, hut says no office under that of United States senator will ' tempt him. Meesrs. Carrier and Ar thur, of Spokane, and Jordan,of Pierce, are candidates for the supreme btmob. Unless the condition changes the Populists are liable to remain In con vention for several days. Adjourn- raent after adjournment has taken place to bear the report from the com mittee on resolutions and platform, and still no report Is forthcoming. It la .understood that Rogers of Pierce is trying to shape the platform and tlut . he Is being combatted by Winston of Spokane, who has his own Ideas which he wants Inculcated and on which he proposes to stump the state. Nearly all the big Populist guns are here and the balance of them are tied up ou trains or crossing the country with teams. No new congressional candi dates havo been developed excepting H. W. Boyer of Pierce, who suddenly grew Into favor after his characteristic! Populist speech, in which he aimed his shot at the lawyers and advocated the nomination for congress of men from the heart of the people A feature of the convention wbb a telegram frrm E. J. Jeffries of tho Northwest Indus trial army, sent from Bt. Paul, in which he says the army Is praying for tho convention's success and that the Populists will sweep everything before them. Today will be a big day if the delegates will control their desire for free speech. The Montkhky.
