A Coon ONE In told OH the county
superintendent OF Marion county
(the same anti-monop member who
tried 70 draw his salary two months
before he was sworn in). It appears
that In one section of his county there
IL a crazy man at large who scares the
women and children sadly, at times.
One day recently, the sup't called In
that section to visit Q school, and 1t Is
said he i the least bit careless about
his personal appearance, and the
teacher and scholars not being ac-
quainted with him, naturally thought
1t was the crazy man. He walked In,
sat down, said but little, until he saw
q little boy at some devilment, when
he went for him" roughly. This
scared scholars and teacher, who
thought certain IL was the crazy
man, and every one made break for
the door, and In less than a
minute the sup't was the only
occupant of the school house, and
the teacher and scholars were flying
down the road like the old boy was
after them; aud the sup't not under
standing the matter took after them to
bring them back. The crusade soon
met farmer. the teacher told her
story, and the farmer started back to
ree0unoiter. aud found out the cause.

In reference to two points:
LIST. Where two farmers joining
lands; one needs and wants q lane,
the other does not. Who is required
to make the lane?
I'd. When a mans farm Is not on
a public road, how can he get way
out?
Please answer and oblige
MANY PATRONS.
Gosport. Iotod, Nay IA, 1874.
LIST. The farmer desiring the lane
would have 10 make it at his own ex-
pense, and before commencing he
must give the party owning the land
adjoining, six months notice, and
must make the lane at least twenty
feet wide. See Code OF 1873, section
l437.
I'd. When a mans farm Is not on
q public highway, and the parties
owning the land between his farm and
the highway refuse to give him a
right of way over their premises, his
only means of getting q way out il to
have a highway established as provi-
ded by chapter /, title Z, OF the Code
of 1878. He must first file with the
county auditor bond conditioned to
pay all expenses; provided the high
way Is not established as asked, after
which he must file his petition for the
establishment of the highway, a form
for which will be found In section 922
OF the chapter above referred to. The
auditor then appoints u commissioner
to examine into the expediency of es-
tablishing the highway, who after a
general examination makes his re-
port, and TX II is not favorable the pro-
ceedings there end. But If he deems
the establishment of snch highway
expedient, he should proceed to lay it
out as provided, and make his report
accordingly within thirty days from
his appointment. The auditor must
then appoint day, not less than sixty
nor more than ninety days distant,
when the matter will be acted upon:
on or before which day, all Objections
TO the establishment OF the highway,
ana claims for damages, must be filed
with the auditor. A notice OF the APP
pointment Of such day must be served
on the owners Of land In the proposed
highway, or Auditing thereon, and
must also be published four weeks I'm
some newspaper. Ii no objections
are made, or damages claimed the
highway will be established AZ rec
commended upon payment of cost.
il objections or claims for damages
are filed, appraisers must be appointed
to assess the damages and final ac-
ton thereon will be taken by the
board or supervisors who will estab-
lish the highway or not, as they deem
|expedient. Highways may also be
established by consent as provided ia
the same chapter.

How to Sow Wheat.

Good morning neighbor c..
Good morning, Josh, fine strong
breeze we have this morning. just
such a breeze as | want when ! am
sowing grain.
Well that's strange, for l have been
a farmer ever since was big enough.
aud my father was a farmer before me,
but we always wanted u still day when
had grain to sow. and waited some
time for such day 10 sow my wheat,
and didn't have very good day after
all.
Well if | was going TO wait for a
good time TO SOW wheat or any other
grain, would wait for a windy time,
l don't generally have to wait long
though-bear in mind want side
wind, or nearly so-a quarterins wind
will do, and you can SOW grain easier,
and evenor with good wind to help
you, than you can when it is still.
Iwould like to know how to do it.
Well, you must throw the grain with
the wind, and TO do that you must
sow with both hands, Instead of one
that is with each hand alternately as
YOU 20 back and forth across the field,
YOU will find it little awkward at
first sowing with the left hand, but it
will soon come handy. Try it and if
YOU amt satisfied with the result
when the grain comes up, then l shall
he mistaken.

The above named gentleman was
chosen by the republican senatorial
convention TO represent the 25th sena-

St. Clair is an old time republican,
tried an9 true. and is eminentlv quail
flied TO fill that important position.
He is one OF the oldest settlers of this
valley. lie is farmer and patron,
and will receive the hearty support OF
the republican party of this district.
He is well known in the valley and his
reputation for honesty and integrity is
unquestioned, and his constituency
can rest assured that his deliberations
in the halls of our legislature will be
wise and judicious. Then let the re-
publicans turn out and give large

Mr.. j. J. Buck, of Emporia, asks the
for the temperance state convention.
His name was used without authority.
He was in the republican convention
and took leading part IT, its proceed
ings. No side shows for him.-Ex.
What little name and reputation this
Mr.. Buck has made was made as q
radical, vehement temperance man. In
the state convention he referred in a
speech to the fact of having few days
before presided over temperance
convention and he is the reputcd IA
Their of the temperance plank in our
platform. All this is well enough. So
strong are his convictions upon the
subject of temperance that he utterly
refuses to support Tom Osborn be-
cause somebody said he took drink
of whisky at settlers meeting or
something of that sort. Probably that
is well enough too. But it is not well
enough to make him secretary of a cen
trail committee the ticket for which it
is chosen to half elect he partly repu-
dates. The sudden severance of him
self from the temperance cause SO soon
after he got a little honorary Office
shows of what stuff J. Jay Buck is

TOPEKA, Sept. 18th. Il

Topeka, Sept. 18th. 1874.
DEAR EAGLE: A few hours hence
was set for the meeting of the solons
who were expected, by his eycellency
the Governor, to possess sufficient wis
dom TO devise the ways and means for
the relief of such parties of the state as
might need assistance. As yet but six
or eight senators have made their APP
pearacce and not over twenty-five
members of the house and il is little
doubtful about corum the first day.
There has been no way devised no
plan laid down for the accomplishment
of the call. We have talked to nearly
every member that has SO far arrived
and no one seems to entertain any
ideas of practical plan for the relief
of such counties as must suffer before
another spring. There is kind Of
sentiment floating among the members
present from the older portions of the
state to the effect that the state shall
loan her credit to the issue Of county
bonds for relief. For one we are
squarely opposed to any such PROPOSE
ton and will protest against any such
action. We are asking no such aid.
The new counties are not asking TO
borrow but are begging for relief for
their starving women and children.
We are in favor ola direct appropria-
ton Of money to the poor fund OF each
county desiring aid, which fund shall
only be paid out by the county COM
missioners upon audited accounts
backed by proper vouchers of the
township trustees. In this way there
will be no chance for steal and every
portion of the state will bear the bur-
den alike. 1t is rather soft for the old
er portion of the state to come up here
and say that they will allow us to go
into debt to help ourselves. We want
help or we don't. The only way the
state can materially help the destitute
counties is by direct appropriation.
Cusev and his strikers are here. They
propose TO introduce bill cutting
down fees and salaries of state and
county officers also some other revisory
legislation. Such action would keep
the legislation in session thirty or forty
DAYS. We are in favor of passing n
single bill for relief and adjourning
Immediately thereafter. The people
want no buncombe, no time and money
wasted. Nj.
