We clip the following sketches Of the
Representatives from this county from
tho Topeka Commonwealth of a recent

One by one the Russians are leav-
ing to join their friends on the A. L. &
S. f. road From what We can learn OF
the railroad men and others who have
had experience with them, It's just as
we'll that they 60. The people are tired
of their ways of doing business. They
buy teams and other property, and when
delivered refuse to take them. Let them
go.-U Union.
We entirely agree with the Union in
its Willingness to see the Russians leave
this county. From what we could see
and hear Of them, We judge, that for a
permanent infection upon community
there is little choice between them and
the grasshoppers, and the small differ
ence there is, in favor of the G. HIS.
The Russians may do we'll enough for
the extreme western portion of the State,
but we want it understood that South
eastern Kansas is good enough for civil
lized people to live ip. What railroad and
other lands we have in this county that
are in the market are good, and in q short
time will be taken UP in small tracts by
immigration coming in from Illinois, In
diana and States further east. This is
far better than to have it bought up in
large bodies by the Russians.

AT a recent meeting of Kansas pu! :
fishers held at Topeka, a resolution was
adopted advocating the passage of law
providing for the better protection of
bona fide publishers "from undertaking
from irresponsible carpet-bagsers and
worthless newspaper jobbers." in the
letting Of county printing. We see
no necessity for any new legislation in
this particular. The present statute, if
properly enforced, is good enough. 1t is
now left entirely in the hands Of the
Boards of Commissioners of the different
counties to say what papers shall do the
county printing. If an irresponsible
publisher, or paper of little Or no cir
culation and influence, offers to do the
work lower than one of an opposite char
acter, or even for nothing, there is no law
requiring it to be given to the former.
The Board of Commissioners can award
the printing to such paper as may be
deemed best for the public good. The
former statute requiring it to be given
to the lowest bidder, was repealed sew
erai years ago.

THE usual bills for cutting down the
price of legal advertising have been in,
PRODUCED in the Legislature and referred.
The rates now paid for such work were
established before the war, and have moi
been changed since. They are as low as
the prices charged in most other States
where labor and material costs less than
here, and are not more than fair com.
pensation, when it is remembered that
payment is always delayed considerable
length of time, and in some instances
fees are lost entirely. These bills are
in the interest of nonresident money
loaners, who frequently have to bid in
mortgsged property when it is sold, but
as their practice is to only advance an
amount of money sufficient to cover one,
third of its value, these lenders are not
likely to suffer any great hardship, from
having to pay fair price for the costs
in the actions which they commence.

THE ELECTORAL BILL.

The so-called Compromise Electoral
Bill passed last week was promptly signed
by the President, and considerable work
has already been accomplished under its
provisions. On the part of the Senate
the following named gentlemen were
elected to represent that body on the
Commission: Edmunds. of Vermont
Morton, of Indiana; Frelinghuysen, Of
New jersey; (Republicans) Thurman,
of Ohio, and Bayard, of Delaware (Dem-
ocrats). The members on the part Of the
House are: Messrs. Payne, Hunton, Alb,
bott (Democrats), Garfield and Hoar
fRepublicans). The Judges of the Su-
preme Court designated in the Bill, are /:
Clifford, Field, (Democrats), Miller and
Strong (Republicans). At meeting of
the Judges named, held last Tuesday,
Justice Bradley was selected as the fifth
member of the Commission from the
Supreme Court. This completes the list
and politically it stands eight Republi-
cans and seven Democrats. As an Offset
in part at least, to the Republican ma
jority OF one, Judge Clifford (Dem.) is
the presiding officer. The Commission
commenced its sessions On the Jst inst,
but as yet we have no news in regard to
what it has done since that time.
However much we may object to the
general principles involved in the Bill,
we have no fault to find with the men
selected to carry out its provisions. On
the part of the two houses of Congress,
able, representative men have been cho
sen, and the Justices taken from the SUI
preme Court are irreproachable in their
character for honesty and impartiality.
Let the decision he what it may-elect
Hayes or Tilden--it is the duty of all
good citizens to submit to the result
quietly and peaceably.

symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
JAIN in the right side, under the edge
of the ribs, increases on pressure ;
ometimes the pain is in the left side; the
liient is rarely able to lie on the left
lie; sometimes the pain is felt under
&c shoulder-blade, and it frequently ex-
ends to the top OF the shoulder. and is
onelimes mistaken for rheumatism in
lie arm. TIE stomach is affected with
LOSS ofarpe.i:e and sickness the bowels
in general are cost;::c, sometimes a!terna-
live with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation in the back Part. There is
generally considerable loss ofmemory,
accompanied with painful sensation of
having let undone something which
ought to have been done. A Ait, dry
cough is sometimes an attendant. The
patient complains of WEAKNESS and de-
biiity; he is easily startled, his feet are
cold or burning, and he complains Of a
prickly sensation Of the skin; his spirits
are low; and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrrIsts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few ofthem existed,
yet examination ofthe body, after death,
has shown the LIVER to have been ex-
tensively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
Dr.. c. McLANE's LIVER Pills, IN
CASES OF AGUE AND FEVER, when taken
with Quinine, are productive of the
most happy results. No better cathartic
can be used, preparatory to, or after
taking Quinine. We would advise all
who are afflicted with this disease to
give them A FAIR TRIAL.
For all Bilious arrangements, and as
a simple purgative, they are unequaled.

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, and the quality is excellent, fur
nishing a 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 So. 80 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 as the wants of the county require.
For building and fencing stone of an
excellent quality abounds in many local
tiles, yet 50 disposed a. to interfere but
little with the cultivation of the soil.

CHEAPLANDS.

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. & 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 7
bushels of corn per acre is sold at %. 20
per acre for cash, or 800 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.
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. SCOTT
& BOWLUS, local agents.

COUNTY SEAT.

lola, the county seat of Allen county,
is pleasantly located near the confluence
of Elm Greek 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 q depth of from
fifteen to twenty-five feet. It has three
churches, Baptist, Methodist and Pres.
byterian, and an excellent school build
ing. The different branches of business
and the professions are we'll represented;
and property can now be purchased at q
reasonable price which must steadily
increase in value.
MINERAL WELL.
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 we'll, and the afflicted from all
parts of the country are coming here for
treatment; and already the water from
this famous we'll is being shipped in large
quantities Throughout this and adjoining
States.

PRODUCTS.

As elsewhere stated this county is well
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
inexhaustable 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.
