Last Monday our County Attorney,
]. H. Richards, went up to Geneva to
prosecute the case of the Slave vs.. j.
Wesley Woolford and James Baker. The
misunderstanding known as Yves.
and Jim.-were charged with stealing
logs, and from the evidence it appears
that these men started down the river
from Neosho Falls with one saw log and
by the time they reached the mill they
had thirteen. Frank Bartlett accompa-
MED the County Attorney and made his
maiden speech in behalf Of the prosecu-
ton. After Frank finished the defend
ants felt as though they had no friends
and were prepared tn accept As just their
sentence, which was twenty days i'm
prisonment in the county Jail, a fine of
five dollars each and costs-and they
were further sentenced to remain in Jail
till the fine and costs were paid.

We don't know what effect the re-

the number of aspirants for the county

from some cause we have not the usual
quota of candidates for the city Offices
this spring. In fact We believe there is
no one wanting Office. This is hopeful
sign, and argues we'll for our future
prosperity. Every one is expecting to be
too busy to hold Office.

Mr.. Thomas McCullough's stable, a
portion of the fence around the county
Jail and some wood piled up by it, we're
destroyed by fire last Tuesday afternoon.
The wind was blowing perfect gale at
the time and for the amount of material
there was to burn it made quite a hot
fire. There was but little danger of the
Jail catching fire, but those of our citi-
zens Who gathered there worked vigor-
ousiy to extinguish the flames. Ifa fire
should break out in the block of frame
buildings either on Washington or Mad
ison avenues such a day as last Tuesday
they would all burn up in little while.
Be careful with your hot ashes, don't
deposit them against your house or out
buildings.

HELP FOR KANSAS,

We copy by request the following let.
ter from the Terre Haute, Ind, Express,
of March 17th.:
lola, KANSAS, March 18th, 1875.
To the Ladies of Terre Haute:
Iwrite this letter in behalf of the des.
titute who are not Changers. All the
aid that has been received here has been
claimed especially for the Changers, and
families not belonging to that Lodge,
although plunged in the very depths OF
poverty, have received little or no aid.
Those boxes that came with Mrs. John
I. Campbelps pamphlet, also the bun
dies with cards attached, were all claim
ed for the Changers. the cards being torn
off and but few being able to see them,
therefore were unable to recognize the
names Of friends, relatives or acquaint-
ances. The box was marked "IOla, Allen
Co., Kansas" and some one at Kansas
City being acquainted with our County
Clerk, Mr.. H. A. Needham, directed the
box in his care; but as soon as the box
was opened, James Faulkner & Son
claimed the goods for the Changers aid,
saying that he had letter from Terre
Haute or wherever the box started from,
authorizing him to claim the boxes for
the aid of the Changers, but when asked
to produce the letter, refused. What l
wish to know is, if there was such a let.
ter written, and if so, why did not the
parties sending direct the goods in his
name if intended for his distribution =?
Dear ladies, there are great many fam
lilies here that do not belong to the
Grange, therefore have received little or
no aid. They have done all they can to
support their children, and after all
their efforts are almost destitute of food,
and have not food enough to keep them
have done all that lies
in my power to do. by giving food and
clothing as far as am able, and can do
nothing only through Influence. This is
the third letter l have written to-day in
behalf of the Kansas sufferers. 1 sim

will send it for distribution to some reli-
able person that will see justice done to
the needy.
would esteem it As n special favor if
some lady of Terre Haute who donated
in the above box, would favor me with
an answer. Yours, truly,

HELP FOR KANSAS"

Editor Register:
l hand you with this communication
a copy of the Tcrre Haute Ind. Express
of the 18th of March. 1875, with the re-
quest that you copy in your paper the
letter under the above caption over the
the signature of Mrs. A. B. Riley, and
dated lola, March II, 1875.
know very little about the writer of
this letter or her means of knowledg &c
about what she writes and will not un-
dertake to answer her many misstate-
ments contained in it. 1 will only re-
ply to one charge and say that the whole
letter is in keeping with it.
She says that all the aid that has been
received here has been claimed especial
ly for the Oranges, and that families not
belonging to that order, although plung-
ed in the very depths of overly, have
received little or no aid. Now we will
take lola township for proof of the facts,
where this writer in behalf of the suffer
ers ought to be posted: When Mr.. H.
d. Christy had distributed the greater
part of the supplies he brought here he
published-or had it done-in The REG
1srER, issued February p, 1875, the
names of the parties who receivediaid,
together with the amount they received
and their place of residence. In lola
township this published list shows that
thirty-three families received aid from
him-and one of them is said to be the
father of Mrs. Riley. 1 assisted Mr..
Christy in the distribution of these sup
plies, and know all of those thirty-three
persons named in that list, and will say
that there is not one of them that is q
member of the Grange; and will say
further that if the writer, or any other
person in lola township will prove by the
certificate of the Secretary of any one of
the four Oranges in lola township that
there is one single person in all of those
thirty-three families who is a member of
the Grange 1 will make her a present of
dress pattern for her trouble. will
say further, that Of the goods left by Mr..
Christy with myself and B. D. Allen for
distribution, have distributed to fifteen
different families residing in lola town.
ship and not one of them is a member of
the Grange. My books and letters are
at the service of all persons interested in
the proper distribution of aid.
Now IN conclusion 1 wish to say to the
needy il this county that have letters
in my possession stating that car load
of supplies we're being raised in Vigo
county, Indiana, near Terre Haute, for
this county and that it was to have been
started here soon when the above letter
was published there, and that on account
of this letter it will probably go to Linn
county, Kansas. 1t may be asked, why
is it that the Changers got none of these
supplies? The only reason I know is,
that the committee and Mr.. H. d.
Christy took considerable trouble to as
certain the most destitute in the county,
never inquiring IS to whether they were |
Changers, members Of any church or ~
to their political persuasion Of their
color.
As to other supplies that have re-
reived rs County Grange Agent have
