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 pa-turing and for hay-offers to
the stock raiser most inviting field, and
makes this one of the most certain and
remunerative branches of husbandry

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 aud Pres
byterian. and an excellent school build
ing. The different branches of business
snd the professions are we'll represented;
and property can now be purchased at a
reasonable price which must steadily
increase in value.
MINERAL WE'LL.
The lola Mineral we'll 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
and already the water from
this famous WELLS being shipped in large
quantities Throughout this and adjoining
States.

WATER.

The county is watered by the Neosho
river, which flows through it from N.
w. to s. E., and by its tributaries in the
middle and western portion and by the
Marmaton and Usage in the east. Each
of these streams is skirted by a belt OF
excellent timber and flows through fine
alluvial bottoms from half a mile to a
mile in width. Water for domestic pur-
poses is found in springs and wells OF
moderate depth.

ALLEN COUNTY,
KANSAS.
ITS ADVANTAGES
HOME FOR THE IMMIGRANT


AMONG the many localities in Kansas
which offer peculiar advantages to the
Home-Seeker, Allen County, as regards
Location, Soil, Water, Timber, Cheap
Land, Convenience to Market, Facilities
for Transportation, Towns, Settlements
and Society, stands second to no other in
the State, as brief reference to the above
mentioned particulars will show:
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, seventy-fve miles
south from Lawrence, one hundred south.
west of Kansas City and twenty-five
miles west from Fl. 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-
posits usually found in such localities,
and varying from four to ten feet in
depth. No better soils for the successful
production of all the grains, grasses,
fruits and vegetables of this latitude can
be found in the State.
The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1876-09-02
RAILROADS AND MAR.
kETS.

The Lenvenworth, Lawrence & Gal
weston railroad traverses the county
from north to south. passing through the
towns Of lola and Humboldt, and affords
direct connection with Lawrence and
Leavenworth in Kansas and Kansas City
in Missouri. This last is one of the best
markets in the country and is but six
hours from lola, the county seat.
The NJ. X. & T. passes through the
s. w. corner of the county, touching at
Humboldt, and affords an outlet to the
mining regions of the west, and south to
Texas and the Gulf
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. & G. 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 5
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 Csc. bushel to pay for the
whole tract. Any one looking for new
location can not fail to appreciate this
fact, especially considering the fact that
these lands are surrounded by old SET
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.

IL is doubtful IL moye exaggerated and false
reports were ever telegrsphed from Wash
ington than were sent TO the New York S,u

Among the thousand and one complications
growing ont OF our electoral college sytem is
the trouble arising from ineligible electors.
and irregularity in the election of the electoral
ticket in several states. The subject of the
power of the state authorities TO fill vacancies
after the election has occurred, and remedy
otter irregularities, is now being discussed
and 1t Is more than likely that the question
will be one of the first to confront Congress
when that body assemblies in joint session to
witness the counting of the vote. There
should be no hair-splitting in this matter.
Both parties ought to be willing to agree
upon some equitable mode of procedure i'm
such case, since both are equally inter-
ested. Throwing aside technical bubbles
Inc plain intent of the states in the
election ought to be considered. For
instance, let ii be supposed that the
New York electoral ticket contained the
names of but thirty instead of thirty-fiye
democratic electors. Everybody comedies
that that state was carried for Tilden and
Hendricks, and that, notwithstanding any
defect in the electoral ticket, il was the plain
intent OF majority of the voters to vote the
democratic ticket Vermont on the other
hand, was carried by pronounced majority
for Hayes and Wheeler. and il would be
manifestly unfair because OF the ineligibility
OF one OF the electors, to change the result By
common consent the state authorities should
be allowed in all cases to remedy irregulari-
ties, no matter whether they were discovered
before or after the election. in such a way
that the will OF a majority of the people of the
states where these irregularities occur NAV
not be disregarded

The members of the jackson Democratic
Association OF this city show their good

a certainty who is to be our next Chief Ma

Donald G.. Mitchell gives an amusing &C
count of his trials and tribulations as diplo-
matte representative OF the United States i'm
his "SfOry OF q Consulate" Ii is doubtless
true that our consuls abroad are poorly paid,
but some of them manage to stumble upon
good fortune occasionally. Brigadier Gen
eral di Cesnola, who was sent as consul to
Cyprus Just amer the rebellion, Is an instance
OF the kind Soon after his arrival there he
discovered buried antiquities OF rare value,
which he sold for n large sum To an associa-
fion in New York; and recently in excavat-
ing he found q temple containing vessels of
gold and silver, and precious stones, all OF
which he offers 10 the New York MetropOli-
tan Museum OF Art for the sum of $4,000 in
gold. The British Museum has already Of
fered him the same sum, but being an ardent
American by adoption he prefers that the
United States shall possess these antiqui-
ties, which date back to 400 and 1900 Ii.
G.. Subscriptions have reached so near
the figure named that II is safe to say that
New York win get the collection. Gen. di
Cesnola, who Is an Italian by birth, is a
nooleman by right, his title being the Count
Oh Palma. He served CALAMITY during the
war In The union army. He was under ar
