From what we know of Mr.. Fous

he would make competent, faithful
and efficient officer. Have we eve
said or intimated otherwise? At tn
same time we know the element tina
is backing him, and in policies maj
is bound to be judged-unjustly some
times, doubtless-by his friends.
Judging from the crowd that surget
into aud around Richards & Lakin'

The City Marshal asks us to warn
all parties who have not yet complied
with the city ordinance requiring the
cleaning up of all alleys, pig pens ect.,
that proceedings will be begun against
thsm at once unless. they clean up
their premises as required. This is an
important matter, affecting as it does
the health of the entire community
and every property owner ought to be
willing to comply with the above men,
toned ordinance without any compul-
sion.
THE REGISTER begs leave to remark
that il was the first saper I'm the county
to publish the result Ofthe Topeka con-
ventiOn. The work at the convention
was finished at $3.50 and The REDIs-

it at o'clock. This paper is also the
only one i'm the county that published
portraits ofthe Presidential and vice

Just to give them little idea of the
wheat crops we can raise out here i'm
booming Kansas, as noted in the let
ter by ARGUS" and in the local col.
umns. 1t may serve to prove to them
also that the average Kansas towns
can support as good a newspaper as
will generally be found in towns of
size in the east. Extra
copies may be obtained at the news
depot or at this office.
Nov that the Binders and Headers
are through with their mission and the
are at work we can begin to
form some idea of the immensely of the
crop of wheat, which we learn is yield
ing from 80 to 40 or more bushels per
acre. Capt. Ewing's will make at least
35 bushels per acre on his whole crop
$50 acres) and Mr.. brakes nearly or
quite as much. Mr.. Samuel Ausher-
man on ID. B. ID. Smeltzer's farm
thrashed over 700 bushels from IL acres
or nearly AZ bushels per acre. and it is
thought his whole crop lsome 20 or 50
acres on this FARM will average nearly
40 bushels per acre. Mr.. A. has nearly
50 acres of wheat OH another farm and
he will have nearly 6OOO bushels of
wheat.
The case of the state vs. Harry Boz

prosecuting witness,
charged Boeken with maliciously
shooting and wOunding his dog. was
tried before Justice Harris, Monday
and Tuesday, Boyle appearing for the
state, and Richards & Benton defend

of "not guilty. and further found that
the prosecution was malicious and
without probable cause, thus throw
ing the cost, amounting to $500 upon
Benton did, the heavy
work on the defence, Mr.. Richards be-
ing absent, and for some plain Ian
guage about the League received some
promises of being fused up" by a few
excited friends of representing wit
ness. He didn't take water worth a
cent,
IT it, were not FOL the serious aspect Of
the matter, the lively scenes on the
street Wednesday afternoon would
have been quite a "circus." Benton
was holding a "league reception" on
the south side, Fisher was receiving
and giving some pretty warm atten-
ton on the west side, while Gordon,
with the majesty Of the law In his
hand, was trying to take Montgomery
to Jail, OH the commitment for cost, i'm
the "dog" case, Montgomery swearing
that he wouldn't go and that there
weren't men enough i'm lola to make
him go(and whether there was or not
he didn't go.) Things promised for a
little while TO take fire but better coun.
sells prevailed. Montgomery
finally gave bond to pay
the costs within thirty days.
Fisher had to be "held back" from
trying the efficacy of his fist among
the men. but when the League ladies
got after him he ''lit out"
Through the cogrtesy of the G.. A.
r. Post we were permitted to attend
the camp fire last Thursday night.
A large number was present, including
the following comrades from Colony NJ.
A Carmichael, p. c., A. G. Perkins, s.
V. G., Ed. T. Ewing, Adjt.. 7. L.
Elliott, o. D., and J. w. Suffron, r.
b. Hyde, Mid. Shocky and ]. T.
The address of welcome
was a neat effolt by o.. NJ. Simpson, z.
c., of McCoOk post. After this
E. H. Funston and o. II.
Foust spoke eloquently and were re-
ceived with enthusiasm. The beans,
and so forth, were then discussed,
likewise with enthusiasm, after which
speeches, which provoked frequent
and uproarious cheers, were made by
oomrades Eerkins and TrOutman,
of Colony and +. s. Miller,
of lola. The good time continued
to late hour. Whatever of
rancor or strife there may be outside,
they never intrude into these meetings.
The influence is particularly pleasant
and helpful, and their frequent Fecqr-
renee will do much good.
THE BEST!
