FROM REGISTER REPORTERS.
What is Being Done Throughout the
County-Events and Gossip
of the Week.
Usage Occurrences.

Planting and replantng from sunrise to sun
set is the order of these days. Corn planters
must be taken on the wing to secure one day.
Ibelieve our farmers are up with any in the
progress of their crop work.
Oats and flax are booming. A great many
potatoes failed to grow up through the surface
here. Perhaps they undertook to grow the
short route through to China for higher prices
in the event of continued war with France.
Eighty -four pears on limb is about the best
we can report at Bartlett's. When we come
to apples we are lost in notation and enumera-
ton. AS to strawberriet and other small fruits
we would as soon undertake to count the silver
dollars in the U S. Treasury.
The time of year is late, but the season has
just arrived to put in the corn crop. We never
despair of the seed time promised until after
the Fourth of July, the unlavOrable condition
of the soil being the only real cause for a lack
of faith and zeal.
The people, old and young, still continue to
meet at Spring Valley every Saturday evening,
for mutual advancement in literature and
science. F. Osborn read an interesting pa
per on Electricity" at the last meeting.
Lille Martin is teaching subscription
school at Spring Valley, with 20 scholars.
Mrs. David Young is under the Doctors care
and is improving.
Charles Booths little boy was taken sudden

sowed this spring, that equals anything that

THE COURT HOUSE.
A Few More Letters Concerning 1t.

LAHARPE, KANs. May 81, 'S5.
Dear Register:-Hearing good
deal said about new county buildings,
would say as my view of the matter
that it looks like throwing away good
money on bad property to offer to re-
pair those old uncomely, unhandy and
out-of-the-way buildings. If the citi-
zens of Allen county cannot see their
way to new court house and Jail now
it seems to ME pity that such fer
tile county as ours should be destined
to be inhabited by such careless peo-
Pile; at least, SO it appears to strangers
who visit the county. Oh, for ambi-
ton and enterprise in Allen county,
that it may bear the name abroad that
it deserves at home-namely, the lead
ing county of Southeastern Kansas. I
am for new court house and Jail, first,
last and all the time, and cannot see
the propriety of spending money on
those old traps, and then not have any,
thing but old traps as a reward. If the
capital of such good county cannot
furnish ,creditable buildings let us
know the reason. why.
Yours with Respect,
A. u. FUNK.

A REJOINDER.

SETTLERS" answer to "Orpheu's"
question is just what we would expect
from that quarter. Instead of answer.
ing he intimates that the n. of sec.
26, % and IA is land in dispute. How
does he know? The act of July Goth,
1866, gave to the NJ. X. & Il. the even
sections in its 20 mile limits and they
have been patented to that company.
But even if the land was in dispute,
that doesn't give the settlers the right
to come in mob and prevent peacea-
BILE men from blowing, and we think
the course taken by Messrs. Samp and
Morrison right; and every lawabiding
citizen will agree in this. Instead of
taking the law in their own hands
they put themselves under the protec-
ton of the law. If those settlers had
right to the place, as they fancy they
have, why not have Messrs. Samp and
Morrison arrested for trespass? But
no; they knew better. They had no
right, and therefore took the law in
their own hands and made out laws
for themselves. And now for "Or-
pheus'" questions: We think the laws
of Kansas are good enough, but it ap-
pears the fault lies more with those
who are appointed to enforce them.
There is a law against horse stealing,
but still horses are stolen from time to
time. FACTS.

THE HUMBOLDT MEETING.

In company with Mr.. J. H. Fisher,
who kindly invited us to seat behind
his high steppers, we went to Hum
boldt last Monday night to attend
their anti-court house meeting. There
was good attendance and number
of speeches. The more conservative
and sensible speakers, like DIR. Wake
field, admitted that we ought to have
new buildings but thought the people
ought to have chance to say where
they wanted them put. At the same
time, with singular inconsistency, most
of the speakers claimed that they
wanted to save the people from more
taxes, and admitted that under the
present statute it would be next to inn
possible to move the county seat. We
haven't space to give detailed ac-
count of the meeting, but it was per-
fectly evident that whatever they said,
at bottom the only reason they oppos-
ed new buildings was because they
will be built at lola AS we remarked
last week, they are willing TO go con-

FIVE YEARS

There were at least one hundred and
fifty persons present at the anniversa-
ry party given by Mr.. and Mrs. W.P.
Northrup last Wednesday evening,
and it was evident that all thorough
ly enjoyed themselves. The night
was perfect, so that those that did not
care to stay in the house could enjoy
occupying the porches and walks. A
little after 10 O'Clock tables were set on
the lawn and elegant refreshments
served. Music by an impromptu
quartette and by Mrs. Greason helped
pass away the time, and at later
hour dancing was INDUCED in by some
of the young folks. AS an evidence of
the esteem in which they are held Mr..
and Mrs. Northrup may well feel
gratified with the handsome array of
presents which the guests brought
with them. The following list is COM
plete we think, but as it was taken
hurriedly something might have been
omitted:
One large plush rocker and marble
top center table from lady friends.
One very handsome plush sofa from
young gentlemen and ladies.

SINCE writing the notice of the
Lawrence School of Languages, which
appears on our last page, we have re-
ceived private letter from Prof. ID. H.
Robinson, one of the organizers of it,
and Professor of Latin in the State
University, in which he explains more
fully the intention of the school. We
add short extract from his letter:
/ wish to meet as many teachers as
possible, that may give them few
suggestions drawn from my own eX-
perience, and little assistance in the
colloquial method of teaching Latin.
/ would have them use the Latin
quite as freely in teaching as teachers
of modern languages use the French
and German. l think L can aid them
somewhat in this if can only secure
the opportunity.

Union-Fact No. l. The county seat
was formerly located at Humboldt.
Tell the whole truth. 1t was locat-
ed there because Humboldt cast more
votes than the entire number of legal
voters in the county.
Union-Fact No. 2. The county seat
was moved from Humboldt to lola
during the war, after Humboldt was
raided and burnt, and while her citi-
zens were at the front fighting for
their country and defending their
homes.
The election referred to was held
May 10, 1866, four years after Hum
boldt was burned, and resulted as fol-
lows: lola 253, Geneva 80. Humboldt
9, Vernon 2, DR.. Hart 1, Perkins farm
L. The citizens of Humboldt, know
ing that their own town stood no show
cast their votes for Geneva. The in
situation that lola men stayed at
home while Humboldt men went to
the front, is silly. By the Adjutant
Generals Report it will be seen that
the north part of the county furnished
somewhat less than twice as many
men for the army as the south side.
Union-Fact No. 8. The removal
was accomplished by fraud and taking
an 1der hand advantage of our absent
patriot citizens, as follows: While
they were away, lola, by the hocus
pocus of politics, got the Legislators
from this county chosen from her vi
cinity. Those Legislators, in the inter-
est of lola, threw away without any
asking for it. except lola, eight miles
off of the south side of the then county,
and the best portion of it. bringing the
county line from several miles south
of where Chanute now stands, within
two and one-half miles of Humboldt !;
thus leaving Humboldt down near the
southwest corner of the county.
The eight miles referred to as origi-
nally belonging to the county, was a
strip occupied and owned by the Usage
Indians. By the organic act of the
Territory of Kansas Indian reserva-
tions were to form no part of said Ter
ritory. Consequently this Usage strip
could not belong to Allen county.
1t paid no taxes and legal processes
from the courts of Allen county could
not be served in it. These matters
were tested and are of record. Under
these circumstances the people from
all parts of the county petitioned the
legislature to "more definitely define
the southern boundary of Allen
county," and under that title an act
was passed cutting off the Usage lands.
There was no "hocus pocus" about it.
We give so much space to these
facts" not because they have any re-
lation whatever to the matter now I'M
der discussion, but in order that the
truth may prevail and "for the bene-
fit of the newer citizens of this county,"
