Nor long since a set of ruffians from
Missouri went up into Minnesota and
murdered a cashier because he refused
to give up the keys that they might rob
the bank. The people of that State
turned out in large numbers and pur'
sued these outlaws until they killed
wounded OF captured all but two of them,
Those who were captured, instead Of
being lynched, were quietly turned over
to the officers of the law. What a con.
trast there is between the actions of these
people and those of Missouri. In the
latter State some detectives quietly ar
rested man whom they supposed to be
one of the James brotoers, but who turns
out to be some one else. The Missouri
ans at once get up vigilance committees,
talk about protecting their homes and
brighten up their guns for the purpose of
killing men who attempt any more
arrests. If the people Of that State
showed as much zeal in the capture of
those outlaws who haye so frequently
disgraced the State by their deeds Of
violence as they do in forming vigilance
committees because the wrong man has
been captured under very suspicious cir
cumstances, it would be much more to
their credit.

ANOTHER eminent Reformer has com

ANOTHER eminent Reformer has come
to grief T. L. Davis, the Democratic
candidate for Congress in the Sd district
in this State, has had his attention so
pointedly called to his own cussedness
that his cry for "Tilden and reform" is
heard no more. Davis has for some time
past been corresponding with young
widow At St. Louis, and he finally made
a proposal for marriage, assuring her
that his election to Congress was certain.
The widow asked the advice of her
brother-in-law, and he concluded to
write to merchant at Mr.. Davis home,
with whom he was acquainted. The
merchant informed him that the said
would-be Congressman had Q wife and
three children, with whom he was then
living. The insulted lady at once had
this Reformer's love epistles published
in the St. Loui' Globe Democrat, and the
members of his party are completely dis
gusted and are demanding that he step
down and out, and give some one else
chance to make the race. The exposure
does nothing but reveal the "true in
wardness" of the animal, for he never
had any chance of being elected to
Congress.

WHERE are those five or six Congress.
mep the Peter Cooperites were going to
elect IN Ohio and Indianaf The fact is
the people in those States-like those in
all the other States-realize that there
are other important questions to be de-
termiped by Congress than the question
of finance. And another thing that pre-
vents the success Of the Peter Cooperites
As a national party is that . man can be
. radical Republican or an out-spoken
Democrat and still be q genuine green
hacker. In Indiana, where this party
was 90 confident Of electing two or three
Congressman, the highest vote they re-
ceived in any Congressional district was
4,703, and the least vote was %. The
Peter Cooper party makes a good hobby
for Democrats to ride in localities where
their party is in the minority, but when
it comes to voting they are apt to vote
the straight Democratic ticket, if there is
one in the field.

because it would put money in the peck
cts of brokers and spectators at the ex-
pense of the laboring class. At the
close of Mr.. Haskell's speech he was
given three rousing cheers. The people
were delighted with his speech, many of
them pronouncing it the best they had
heard during the campaign. Republic
cans who are thinking of voting for his
opponent should hear him, and should
consider we'll their duty in this matter.
At the close of Mr.. Haskell's speech
John Francis was called for, but owing
to the lateness of the hour he declined
making q speech. He urged the Repub-
licans of Allen county to again endorse
the party of progress, justice and equali-
ty by voting for Hayes and Wheeler and

the Legislature be . success it is neces.
sary that at the general election next
month the people adopt proposition one
to amend the constitution of the State

vides that appropriations for State insti-

BUILDING, FENCING
AND FUEL.

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, anl ths quality is excellent, fur
nlshing 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 50. so per cord. In
the eastern and less timbered portion OF
the county coal of fair quality is mined
in quantities sufficient for domestic
purposes, aud will no doubt he devel.
oped as the wants of the county require.
For building and fencing stone of an
excellent quality abounds in many local
titles, yet 50 disposed As to interfere but
little with the cultivation of the soil.

HARVEY AND HASKELL.

The announcement that Senator Har-
| vey and D. G. Haskell would address the
people of this vicinity FRIDAY evening Of
last week brought out a crowded house.
Senator Harvey spoke first, and in a
brief, pointed manner, presented the real
issues dividing the two great arties Of
the nation, and gave his reasons for
thinking the welfare of the country de-
manded that the Republican party be
continued in power; he urged Re-
publicans not to be deceived by false
issues The Senator also made an ex-
PLANTATION in reference to the soldiers
bounty bill that done away with good
deal of Democratic thunder. He said
that the Confederate House never in
tended, if they could help it, that Union
soldiers should be given any additional
bounty, and what they done in the mat
ter was only for political effect. A bill
for the equalization of bounties was intro
duced in the House by Mr.. Phillips of
this State early in the session, but in
stead of passing it the Democrats voted
that it should 60 into the hands of one
of their committees, and this committee
held it until the calend ar in the Senate
was SO crowded that the bill could never
be taken up in its regular order, and as
the Republicans had not two-thirds of
the Senate they knew they could not
suspend the rules 80 as to pass it. When
the committee finally brought the bill
before the House they were unwilling
that Phillips should have credit for it,
60 they changed it and presented it as
their own. As soon as the bill was pass
ed by the House and sent to the Senate
Senator Logan poved suspension of
the rules that the bill might be brought
up, but the Democrats voted it down.
Again and again did he attempt to get
the bill before the Senate, but again and
again did Democratic Senators defeat it.
Senator Harvey said he felt authorized
to insure soldiers that as soon as the bill
could be reached in the regular order of
business the Republicans of the Senate
would pass it.
Mr.. Haskell followed Senator Harvey
with an eloquent and telling speech.
From the first till the last he was hear
tily applauded by his hearers. He ia
logical, bold, aggressive and frank, enter
tanning no opinions which he is DESTROYS
to conceal. He speaks his convictions
without quibbling, and advocates the
principles of humanity, justice and equal
rights for all men. He announces him
self in favor of greenbacks but wants
them to be of par value; he opposes an
irresponsible system of issuing green

THERE is no telling what day may
bring forth. Last Saturday morning
there was the usual number of straight
out Tilden Democrats in this county,
but before the setting of the sun the
party had forsaken its time-honored
name, (that is if the convention last Sat
urday truly represented the Democrats
of the county,, and lost its identity in a
fusion with the Peter Cooperites. The
co-partnership thus formed is supposed
to last till the morning of the election.

In rejoicing over their victory in In
diana Democratic papers usually forget
to mention the fact that the Republicans
elected nine out of the thirteen Con-

Legislature the Republicans have ma

ocrats and Independents.

EVERY voter in the county, and es.
pecially Republican voters, should be

should be adopted. 1t is also to be de-
cided at this election whether or no we
are to have herd Law in Allen county.
These questions alone, aside from politi.

CHEAP LANDS.

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.. & q. and NJ.
K. & T. 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 so to Z
bushels of corn per acre is sold at 1920
per acre for cash, or $4.0O 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 Csc. 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.
Elements, and are convenient to railroads,
towns, mills, school houses, churches and
all the appliances Of civilization. Land
at pioneer prices, without any of the
privations of pioneer lite.
These lands are sold by Messrs Scorr
& BowLUs, local agents.

PRODUCTS.

As elsewhere stated this county is we'll
suited to all the productions of this
latitude, but is especially adapted to the
growing of wheat, corn, fruit, and to
stock raising; all of which succeed ad-
mirably, and particularly the last. The
inexhanstable supply of native grasses
both for pasturing and for hay-offers to
the stock raiser most inviting field, and
makes this one of the most certain and
remunerative branches of husbandry
that any one can engage in.
