INDEPENDENT GREENBACK TICKET

Such is the name of the Allen county
mongrel. What is its nature? Let us
see. A cross between a resumption sire
and greenback dam. 1t is yet young
but precocious. Its mamma, like many
other good daTss, and its papa, like
papas usually, often sigh, prophetically,
that its too smart to live long. Poor
dear! And yet its weakness was not
occasioned by any accident that occurred
during its earliest existence, because it
Was ca ,ier to born it than it was to name

and taken its last breath, we, as good
neighbors, must pay our respects to the
mothers darling and the fathers pride.
And in doing so we must congratulate
its parents. They have done their best.
What more can be asked of any parents !?
And, in view of its being so delicate.
have they not made all the provision for
its comfort while living, and its peaceful
rest after death, that fond mother and
doting father could make? With Joe
Richards as nurse, and Alphabet Gates
as physician, its physical wants ought to
be attended to. Catnip dilutions from

in proper doses, ought to keep the dear
little body as free from pain as could be

THE RAID On THE TREASURY.

Here's little batch of interesting
bills. How do you fancy raising cattle
and corn, farmers of the West, to pay
such claims as these:
By Mr.. Young of Tennessee: A bill
to pay Dudley Fraser SO, 400 for the rent
of his shed and storehouse, occupied by
the United States army.
BY Mr.. Bright, of Tennessee: a bill
to pay Thomas Hoard S58,0O0 for sup
plies taken by the United States army
from his plantation, near the battle.

By Mr.. House, of Tennessee: A bill
to pay Davidson county, Tenn, S36, ZIG
for occupancy Of court house of said
county by United States troops.

to pay John T. Stratton 1926 for rent
of shed occupied by United States troops.

In Indiana the Democrats, at the late
election, cast more votes for Congress
men than for Governor, and yet the Re-
publicans make a net gain over the cleo
ton of 1874 of 9.12i, and of four Con-
gressmen. 1t seems to us that it is a
matter of small consequence whether the
gubernatorial chair of Indiana is graced
with blue jeans or broad -cloth, so that
the officers who have to do with the pol
itics of the country are all right. If the
achievements of the Democracy of Indi-
ana is any comfort to them, let them
take it in peace, say we.

IT is said of John Martin, the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor, that in his
speeches he denounces bitterly not only
the Republican party, but individual
Republicans, and then goes round and
sOlicits Republican votes on personal
grounds. Such game will hardly win.

CHEAP LAMBS.

Notwithstanding the county has been
settled for many years and contains a
population of over 1000, large bodies OF
unimproved lands are yet for sale. These
lands belong to the l.. l.. & G. and NJ.
X. & I. railroad companies, and are
offered for sale cheaper than such lands
can be bought any where in the United
States where equal advantages exist.
Land capable of producing twenty to
twenty-five bushels of wheat or 80 to rs
bushels of corn per acre is sold at 1920
per acre for cash, or $500 on time. Al
most any year, after being reduced to
cultivation, a single crop will pay the
entire cost of the land.
During last season many parties in
this county with less than half their
land in cultivation raised corn enough
when sold at 25c. bushel to pay for the
whole tract. Any one looking tor new
location can not fail to appreciate this
fact, especially considering the fact that
these lands are surrounded by old set

SUE2.DENG. FENCING
AND FUEi6..

One of the special advantages which
this county Possesses over the treeless
plains of Western Kansas is found in
its timber, coal and stone. The average
width of timber belts is half a mile or
more, and the quality is excellent, fur
nishing reasonable supply for all prac.
teal purposes, as is shown by the fact
that the price of good hard wood in the
towns seldom exceeds $3.50 per cord. In
the eastern and less timbered portion OF
the county coal of fair quality is mined
in quantities sufficient for domestic
purposes, and will no doubt be devel.
oped Us the wants of the county require.
For building and fencing stone OF an
excellent quality abounds III many local
tiles, yet so disposed as to interfere but
little with the cultivation of the soil.

WHAT A BOAT Z?

Editor Register:
Did it ever occur to you that the OPP
positionists of Allen county have manu-
featured the queerest political vessel ever
launched? In their fusion convention
the other day they got things mixed.
They have hard money Tilden candi.
dates on soft money, Peter CooI er,
platform. One can easily imagine the
kind of boat it is. Only one condition
is required of those taking passage. That
is that captain, pilot, crew and passen-
gers shall be haters of the Republican
party. As rebels, renegades and sore
heads all unite in this same feeling, they
are the parties to whom the invitation to
get on board is given. The call of that
convention is addressed to all sore headed
Republicans, but no more to them than
the veriest rebel in the county. 1t in
vites the leading Tilden men of the
county only on condition that they are
willing to sit down side by side with
Cooper followers. Instead of excluding
rebels it is arranged that they are easily
made at home, and it is not allowed that
leading questions be asked as to the an
tecedents of others. 1t is designed and
so arranged that Jim Murray and o. S.
Ceffin, j. B. F. Gates and Joe Richards,
the Rev. Senator Bartlett and E. Stros-
nider, the hardest money Democrat and
the softest money Cooperite, can meet
and take sweet counsel together as to the
best mode by which the Republican
party can be overthrow and the Demo,
cratic party brought into absolute power.
And it is amusing to see what scramble
each squad makes lest either of the other
squads shall get control of the boat. The
command of the enchanter of the party
is:-
''Biack spirits and white,
Blue spirits and grey,
Mingle, mingle, mingle,
You that mingle may -
But the result is that very few white
and blue spirits, but great many gray
and black do the mingling. There are
many citizens of this county who do not
wish to mingle that way. They are
those who think that liberty cannot yet
be entrusted to ex-slaveholders, nor the
union to those who sought to destroy it.
When this boat strands upon the rock,
as it surely will on the 7th proximo, and
is shivered into atoms, there are those
who will kindly care for that portion OF
the crew who escape its utter ruin, and
will cause to be inscribed on the dirty
rag floating from the mast of the worth
less wreck the words:-Too much rig
ging for so weak vessel-too much cap
tain for SO small crew-too much stem
for 50 light poop. RADICAL

COUNTY SEAT.

lola, the county seat of Allen county,
is pleasantly located near the confluence
of Elm Creek and the Neosho River,
and on the L. L. & G. railroad. The
Neosho at this point only needs to be
improved to furnish good water power
for mills and manufactures Good pure
water can be obtained at depth of from
fifteen to twenty-five feet. 1t has three
churches, Baptist, Methodist and Pres
byterian. and an excellent school build
ing. The different branches of business
snd the professions are well represented;
and property can now be purchased at a
reasonable price which must steadily
increase in value.
MINERAL WELL.
The lola Mineral well is at this time
the chief attraction of the town. The
wonderful cures performed by this water
have proved that its healing properties
are second to none in the country. A
hotel and bath rooms have been put up
at the well, and the afflicted from all
parts of the country are coming here for
treatment; and already the water from
this famous well is being shipped in large
quantities Throughout this and adjoining

LOCATION.


This county is second from the East
and third from the south line of the
State. 1t is one hundred miles south
east from Topeka, seyenty-fve miles
south from Lawrence, one hundred south
west of Kansas City and twenty i've
miles west from Fit. Scott and lies mainly
within the celebrated Neosho valley.
SOIL.
The soil of the uplands is a black or
dark red calcareous loan of great depth
and inexhaustable fertility, while that
OF the bottoms is the black alluvial de-
posts usually found in such localities,
and varying from four to ten feet in
depth. No better soils tor the successful
production of all the grains, grasses,
fruits and vegetables of this latitude can
Ge found in the State.

PEN SCISSORS.

Yesterday, says Mondays Eiko In
depcndent, the Pullman palace coach
"President" passed here going west.
This magnificent palace OH wheels cost
S32, 900, and is represented to I've the
finest railroad car in the world. It
was exhibited at the Philadelphia Ex-
position where it was awarded the first
premium. The seats and wood work
of the interior of the car are made OF
solid mahogany, and the metal work
OF solid silver. The wheels are made
of p0piey mache, bound with iron and
run over the rails comparatively noise
less. The inmates Of the car were
Milton S. Latham, formerly Governor
and Senator from California, and Cap
tain Bradbury, President of the O.. and
0. Steamship Company.
We had, says Sundays Carson APP
peal, a short jerky interview with Par
son Kelly yesterday about the Or
phan's Home contributions of money
and gifts. He says that in addition to
the S227 contributed here the citizens
OF Virginia City gave $50 worth of
books, and that he received Yesterday
from Eureka a check for S75. This
makes a total OF more than $3.50, and
Empire and the cow counties yet to
hear from. This showing is in proof
that these sage brushers take good and
substantial care OF their orphans. They
will have a gorgeous tree, or trees,
rather, for they Will be in the plural
and laden with the best and most
plenteous and most seasonab!e OF
fruits.
Says the Lyon County Times: The
Carson river is frozen in many places,
and there are many evidences of a
scant stage of water. The persistent
fair weather that We are having, as
we'll az the GOODNESS OF the nights, is
reducing the volume of that little
stream quite peTceptibly.
Farmers in Carson valley are appre-
hensive Of an open winter. Should
the usual quantity OF snow fail to fall,
the farmers will not be the only ones
who will suffer-the Dayton mills will
get thirsty before another autumn.
However there is ample time yet.
