Drouthy Kansas is an unpopular ex-
preston Just now.
The delegates from Usage were in
struc ed to cast their influence Tor

we must expect some ticket scratching.
The largest yield of wheat in this part
was shown by Robt. Archer-twenty-six

is stopping with Mr.. Keith and conduct
ing several music classes in this part OF
the county.
The Carter boys are putting up hay
for a Mr.. Cotton, of Missouri, who will
feed a number of cattle here next winter.
Our Fsirlawn brother evidently thinks
it necessary that he should quarrel with
some one, but as that is such lively,
newsy place, compared with Usage, We
would prefer that he give US some OF the
ne,rs.
We were positively misinformed re-
garding the NJ. E. protracted meeting.
No such meeting was held.
The debate between Rev. Shockey and
Rev. Snyder did not take place. Mr..

The pic mic at Gilbert's grove WIS in
part q swindle: No band; and, much
to the disappointment of your cores

very busy and health not very good is
the reason we have not been heard from
lately.
Two threshers have been travelling
around from place to place on our side
until everything is threshed out-ex-
cepting, perhaps, some unruly persons
who need q thrashing occasionally, but
as no one ia going the rounds and max
ing a profession Of that kind of thrash
ing they have to 60 unthrashed.
Ploughing for wheat is almost all done
and on account of the splendid rain we
have had the ground can be made
in excellent. condition to receive the
seed. A large acreage will be sown, as
the result of last years crop is generally
satisfactory.
Haying is in full blast, grass crop
good.
No cattle dying on our side to our
knowledge, no hog cholera heard OF yet.
Mr.. James Townsend has started his
syrup factory and is aiming to work up
all the cane that will be brought to him.
The buckwheat crop looks we'll and
makes a rich harvest for the busy bee.
Ho for buckwheat cakes and honey!
Messrs. Boggs & Jones will soon be
ready to burn another large kiln Of
brick. They are now, with experienced
hands and by strict attention to business,
turning out brick that will compare
with any manufactured in the State.
Notwithstanding the heavy rain on
the day of the school meeting in Dist. 9

Hodgson's hospitable charge, one +: A,

living near Bramlett lost horse last
Friday night and johnson disappeared
at the same time. Sheriff Smith found
him in hiding few miles southwest OF

understand are tolersbly sure. He has
employed Alderman & Simpson, of lola

Depot Sketches.

Sauntering down to the depot Monday
in search of that joy to the average re-
perter-an item, we first stopped to see
our friend White, oflumber fame. Teams
we're waiting to load, 80 after short
greeting we left, first noticing the COM
pletion of his neat Office and the stock
of lumber, shingles &c. He has some
thing to say in The REGISTER this week
that will interest those wanting lumber.
Just opposite the depot we noticed q
large number of walnut logs, some hewn
others in the rough, and large force at
work upon them. Two car loads have
already been shipped and others will
follow as soon as they can be put in
condition. Elsewhere we mention this
new industry.
Stopping at Thayer & Benedict's ele-
vator and mill we found them ready to
grind corn meal and graham -four. In
conversation We learned that they were
intending to keep steam mill flour of the
best grades to exchange for wheat. They
also want all the white corn for grinding
that can be had. They will also be pre-
pared to shell and ship corn as soon as it
is dry enough to do so safely.
A. W. Beck, we learn, has bought the
old elevator and will move it down ad-
Joining Thayer & Benedict. He will
also buy and ship all kinds Of grain.
At the depot Office we found our ever
genial friend Ayers. He reports ship
ments good and receipts of lumber i'm.
mense. During August forty.seven cars
of cattle were shipped, several cars each
of wheat and logs, and q few of hogs.
Mr.. Coutant has been and is row re-
ceiving car load after car load of lumber.
Mr.. J. N. Holt has shipped over a
thousand head of stock cattle during the
past few weeks.
All in all, the depot of the K. @. L. &
S. Railroad is q busy and interesting
place just now. Finally, travel is large
and constantly increasing.

1t is a lameutable fact that the inhab.
itants of this delightful valley now 60
about with sad and detected faces. The
mighty city with all its glories has van
ished. The orlginators have folded their
tents like the Arabs and silently stole
away.
l find by reading The REGISTER that
the same objections have been raised to
Appletons' Readers that were raised
here in regard to the Independent. The
accusation of atheism was first advanced
in this vicinity by book agent. No
doubt the objections to Appletons' are
traceable to the same source. s. has
ably defended the latter series and we
know the accusation to be unjust in
regard to the Independent. Any COM
piler would be considered mad by intel.
ligent people to attempt to promulgate
false theories in book calculated to be
introduced into the schools of various
religious sects differing 90 widely as in
the United States.
Mabel Keith, little daughter Of G. P.
Keith, narrowly escaped drowning last
week. She fell into her uncle's we'll and
sank. As she rose to the surface of the
water her aunt and sister grasped her
clothing and 30 rescued her.
Messrs. Collect and Fellison have the
largest and best melons in the neighbor-
hood, and what is better still, are very
liberal with them.
A sister Of William and Amos Paske,
from Fl. Scott, is visiting her relatives
here.
Mr.. McGlashan's millet has been cut.
Several stalks measured six and seven
feet in height.
We understand that DR.. Strongs

are expected home in October.
We have been told that Miss Carrie
Strong is expecting to leave Us for the
purpose of attending school in lola.
There seems to be . great attraction
on the hill. G. N. takes his accustomed
visit every Sabbath-from force of habit,
I suppose.
When it was raining 90 hard the other

would do he said ''rd get up in the

The Luse Trial.

At two o'clock Thu.day LAST the pre-.
liminary examination of d. o. Luse,
charged with horse stealing, was com.
menced before Jno. Paxson, Justice Of
lola township. The State was represent.
ed by County Attorney w. II. Siavens,
L. w. Keplinger, J. r. GoOdin, J. II.
Richards and Alderman & Simpson. The
defense il represented by 8. 8. Kirkpat.
rick, J. G. Murray, 81. ID. Smith and w.
G. Mcdonald.
Luse was brought into the court room
and placed in an easy chair. He seemed
to be in q very weak condition. The
State opened the case by examining Mr.:
E. Strosnider, of Humboldt, the owner
of the stolen mare and colt. Nose Coy
who was brought over from Fl. Scott and
Henry Ames was next examined.
The theory of the prosecution seems to
be to prove that Coy and Ames were
tools of Luse, not only in the case at bar
but also in other thefts.
Every inch is contested by the attor
neys of each side, not point being over
looked. The case drags from the fact
that each particle of evidence is being
fought, long arguments being made by
the attorneys. Notwithstanding this the
court house is filled each day BY inter
ested spectators. The feeling in regard
to the matter is very bitter in the south
ern part of the county, and it also ex
tends somewhat all over the county.
Court was adjourned Saturday noon
and commenced again Monday at
o'clock p. m. s
The prosecution finished their evidences
yesterday, and as We 60 to press the de
tense are opening their side. The exam
ination will conclude this week probably

that they are bought and first shipped to

tsken to New York! The prices paid are

been paying. The company have agents

There is a constant dread of impending
danger, the Damocles sword of an imag.
mary evil is suspended over, morbid
sensitiveness as to the thoughts and &C

which will restore new force, promote
