The unfortunate unknown, who has
been confined in the parish jail for
the past four weeks, and who it
will be remembered was incarcerated
on account of having become sudden
" dcmented, has fully recovered, and
will probably be released upon the re-
turn Of Judge Read from Vernon.
He came to himself "Wednesday, and
as might naturally be supposed mar
weed considerably at the predicament
in which he found himself. he re-
members nothing save the fact that he
drank great deal OF whisky, and
when told, in answer to bis question,
that there was no charge against him,
seemed greatly relieved. He las es-
capped death BY the " skin Of lis teeth, q"
aud contrary to the expectations Of
everyone familiar with bis case. For
eight days after his incarceration no
effort could induce him to eat, and
each succeeding day it was thought he
must succumb. But he has success,
fully bafled the grim monster this
time, and if lie will profit by lis mar
Tow escape, then his suffering has not
perhaps been in vain.

THE STATE UNIVERSITY.

In another column will be found an
advertisement of the State University
to which we invite the attention of
those expecting to give their children
the benefit of a higher education than
is afforded by the common schools.
The University is to we'll known in
Allen county to need commentator
at our hands. From a small begin
ming, it has grown Into the front rank
of American colleges, and now stands,
i'm point of legitimate educational adj
vantages, the peer of Harvard or Yale.
And it has none of the disadvantages
of the older colleges, in the way of
temptations to immortality and extrav-
agance. The social rank of student
is not determined by the amount of
money he spends, but by his conduct
as a gentleman and by his standing in
the class room. In short for Kansas
students it is in every way preferable
to any other institution in the
country, and we hope to see Allen
comfy always on hand there with a
large delegation.

RESOLUTIONS,

By request we publish in full the
folio wing resolutions adopted at the
Temperance Convention held in this
city last week:
WHEREAS, intoxicating liquors as a
beverage are being sold in many parts
of the county contrary to and in def
ance of law, carrying with it long
train of evils which are damaging to
US materially, morally and socially.
And
WHEREAS. we believe that faith
full enforcement of law against Offend
ers is the only safeguard to every in
terest dear to us as a people.
Therefore, we demand of every Of
ficer of this county, or of any State or
district officer, doing business in his
official capacity in the county, that he
do all in his power to enforce all laws
against offenders, and especially do
we urge the enforcement of the Pro-
hibitory law which is meeting with
such determined resistance by the
"Rum power" We will pledge our
selves as citizens, to do all We can to
assist in the enforcement of said law.
Believing that an effort is being
made to break down the prohibitory
law hS its violation, We again demand
of the officers that they do their
whole duty in the premises. Also
Resolved, That the Convention re-
turn their hearty thanks to Hon. Geo.
Amos and Mr.. Kirkpatrick for what
they have done in the interests of
Temperance i'm Allen county, and we
pledge them our hearty support and
leo-operatlop.

BAKER UNIVERSITY.

This college, located at Baldwin City,
Kansas, is under the supervision of
the NJ. f. church. 1t has had a very
marked growth the past few years. At
tendance the past year was $50, COM
ing from about fifty different counties.
The bonded debt has been paid, aud
the institution is free from debt. The
increased Attendance has made new
building necessity. w. j. Graham,
member of the faculty, visited our
city this week in the interest of the
building enterprise. He reports 5000
as already subscribed and thinks ST., 900
can readily be secured to erect build
ing to meet the present demand.
This is the only college this denomina-
ton is building up in Kansas, and it
well deserves the hearty support Of all
the church. For catalogue. address

THE AGRICULTURAL REPORT.
We are in receipt of the report of the
State Board of Agriculture for the
month ending June 80. In every res
pect it presents a most encouraging
outlook for the season.
The area of winter wheat was 199, S41
acres over that of last year. Ten per
cent, however, of the whole area
failed to come through the severe WIN
ter in a paying condition for harvest
ing, aud was consequently plowed up,
leaving the harvested area nearly
the same as that of 1882. The total
yield was 26, 7Ol, 439 bushels, the aver
age for the State being 17.06
bushels per acre. The entire yield
with spring wheat added was 1885,
555 bushels. In our own county
1873 acres were sown, of which 1900
acres were harvested yielding an aver
age of IA bushels per acre.
From nearly all parts of the State
corn is reported in much better condi-
ton than at this time last year. The
area of the State is 1851 ,042 acres, AN
increase of 30, Sl6 over last year. AL
len county has 60,293 acres, an in
crease of 2,595 acres over last year.
She had on hand March l, 1888, 3lS,-
s45 bushels of old corn.
The satisfactory results of last years
oats crop, led to largely increased
acreage this year. 1t exceeds last year
up to that time the largest ever
sown in the Stately l54, 150 acres.
The estimated average yield for the
State is Aba bushels per acre, giving
the almost phenomenal product of 2s,-
a65, 1893 bushels-greater than the en-
tire wheat crop by million bushels.
Allen counto produces 155, 00S bushels.
The average yield offlax throughout
the State is 1923 bushels per acre.
Allen caunty does well with Sc, 4s4
bushels. Total for the State l, ISL, 731
bushels.
The acreage in castor beans and
broom corn has fallen Off throughout
the State. but the prospects are good.
Allen county has 301 acres of castor
beans with an estimated product Of
8, 100 bushels. We have 8, TAG acres of
broom corn again 4, 1854 last year.
The population of the State is now,
according to the March enumeration,
,02S, III, an increase during the year
of IS, AS. Allen county makes the
creditable increase Of ,2Si.
