AN INQUIRY,

Editor Register:-Could you kindly
give some information, if such is to be
had, about the odd section case tried
during the December, 1884, term, of
the U. S. Circuit Court? A decision
was promised within 60 days, and it
is now nearly 100 and nothing is yet
heard of it. had nearly forgotten all
about it, but on seeing such glorious
docket for the March term of the AL
len County District Court, it came to
my memory again. Only twenty land
cases. Allen county should rightly
feel proud of such a record. People
complain of hard times; corn at %
cents. What is going to pay the tax
es? How long are the people going to
stand being fooled about this matter:
No wonder folks are leaving Allen
county; this thing is going too far.
More suits are looming up in the flu.

thing to this fraudulent claim selling
1t is nothing less than obtaining mon.

Last summer Frenchman working
in the vicinity of Mud creek was told
about this cheap way of getting land
He bought claim for $500, paid S20(
cash and gave note for the other up
on promise of good title. He built
house and improved the place, but
no deed was forthcoming and he found
out that the place belonged to some
one else, and now he says, "Me paid
$500 for land but no good. No more
get 500 from me-" But as roguery il
contagious, he Turns around and sell:
half of his claim to a countryman o
his for the same price he paid for hi:
whole claim.
Now here are two plain cases, and il
the grand jury cannot indict such mel
it is high time something was done tt

A NEW FEATURE.

The demand of the hour is for Illus
trated newspapers. Enterprising pub
fishers have observed that the public
want to see pictures, even in their dali
ly and weekly papers, and all of the
more successful journals have yielded
to the demand. THE REGISTER is
bound to keep up with the times, and
hereafter will contain each week a
greater or smaller number Of illustra-
tions.. Last week we gave excellent
portraits of the new Cabinet officers.
This week we publish an illustrated
humorous article. These articles will
be published each week, occupying
from one to two columns, and will
form a feature which will, we trust,
add greatly to the pleasure of our read
ers. In addition to these articles we
have made arrangements for securing
the portraits of public characters that
may, through any circumstances, be-
come especially prominent.

At La Grande, on last Thursday night, the
tariff question was debated between the La
Grande and Diamond Iyceuns, the former hav-

on both sides, and while there was no eompro-
mise of principle, the best OF feeling prevailed.

/CAPT. JONES has resigned his posi-
ton as warden of the penitentiary, to
take effect May LIST. The REGISTER
predicted when the Captain was APP

fill the office with credit. That he has
done so, is universally acknowledged.
Had it not been for the Pussy episode,
for which he can hardly be held re-
sponsible. his administration would
have been one of exceptional success.
