Neosho Valley Notes,

Miss Anna Scott will close her school at this
place next Friday. She has given the school
her undivided attention, and by so doing has
won the confidence OF both patrons and schol-
ara.
G. II. Peck was sick few days last week.
Mr.. Beahm recently returned from q month 8
stay In Missouri. While he was there, Charles
Berry well known here, had his arm amputat-
ed after suffering more than twenty years with
wound received in the war.
Farmers generally are not very buoyant; in
fact many are really dispirted on account OF
the unfavorable prospect for returns. The
backward season and the difficulty experienced
in getting stand of corn had a tendency to dis
courage; and now some of the farmers arc
brought to q knowledge of the fact that their
wheat fields are being ravaged by the IIessian
fly. Another pest that threatens to give the
farmers trouble is small worm that recently
made its appearance in vast numbers in some
of the fields of growing corn in this neighbor-
hood. This is new annoyance and no one ven
lures a guess as to the extent of damage it may
do. However, this depends upon its duration
George Lutz has gone to Danville, Indiana, to
attend school.
Oliver Carnahan has returned from Missouri
where he has been for about six months.

WE wish to call special attention to
the article on our first page entitled
"Religion in the University" Not
because we wrote it or because it is
published in THE REGISTER, but be-
cause it states what we know to be
facts and because we desire very much
to have truth and not untruth prevail
in this matter. Since writing it we
learn from a Lawrence friend to whom
we addressed the inquiry, that all OF
the professors appointed since ISL
six in number including the chancellor
ARE members of orthodox churches.
Of the original eleven TO whom our ar
ticle refers, one of the Unitarians and
the one who was member of no
church, have resigned. So as the mat
ter now stands, eUery professor in the
University with one exception is a
member of some orthodox church,
while that one exception is a member
of the Unitarian church. Certainly, SO
long as this is true, no one can truth
fully charge the University with be-
ing "hotbed of skepticism and inf
delity.n

THE DEAD LOCK AT LAST OPENED.

As we have long ago maintained the
patents from the United States TO the
NJ. X. d t. r. r. Co. have been pro-
nounced legal by the United States
Circuit Court. We congratulate the
citizens Of Allen county upon the first
step to the removal of this the greatest
drawback TO the settling up of the
county, and hope that now that there
is high legal authority to go by, and
that those in power will not hesitate
to decide according to the laws of our
state, but see them enforced. The
sooner it is done the better: bad cases
require strong remedies, but the sooner
applied the speedier the cure.
Think Of it, tax payers, our court ex-
penses have amounted up to 1900
per year; over Sl.20 per capita for every
man, woman and child in the county.
And for the last ten years has this
land trouble been dragging on without
any appearance of coming to an end.
This concern has lasted too long al
ready, but now that it is clear the title
IS legal, go ahead without fear.

CARLYLE Correspondeuce.

We have stayed at home pretty close for the
last two weeks, and don't know much news.
But we know that the farmers are still plant
ing corn, and that they will be done, for this
year, within month at most.
Oats are looking nice, and will soon be ready
for the reaper.
There were four new members added to the
Presbyterian church of this place last Sunday,
and six children baptised.
Mrs. Claiborne expected to start ON a visit to
her old home in Philadelphia last Wednesday,
She expects to stay all summer and visit all her
old friends.
Mrs. ID. g. Adams returned last Saturday
from attending the sickness and final death OF
her daughter Emma, of Mcpherson. Death OF
friend always reminds us of the uncertainty
of life, and that death is certain, and seems t.
be a new warning to be prepared for the end.

Salem Sentences.

News is scarce nowadays.
Everybody is busy cultivating corn.
Miss Mamie Davis was visiting at Mr.. BaN-

Jackson Davis was down home last Sunday.
Mr.. Ayers, living little west of Mrs. T.. +
Whitney, has finished a new house and barn.
Children's Day was observed at Salem week
ago last Sunday. Mr.. Ii b. Adams made an
address and also Mr. Means. The house was
quite tastefully decorated and the exercises
were good.
Mrs Blessing, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Doudney, is visiting them this week.
j. Ii Towner is around telling the farmers
that they must work on the road. 1t is rather
hard to leave their corn fields but the roads
need working bad enough.
We think Zone of the Boys'' is inst little
bit "or,'' If the seed was bad, why has the
corn come up so nicely since it has stopped
raining? In the first place, why did the corn
come up on the ridges where the wa ter couldn't

THE sroRY OF A ROBUST BOY.

THE STORY OF A ROBUST BOY.
Willie White, boy seven years,
has been afflicted with scrofnla ever
since he was three months old. His
scalp was last year almost mass of
sores. One of his eyes was perma-
nently injured and his jaw running in
hugh sores. In September last he
commenced to take Swift's Specific
under my direction. To-day he is a
fat, squabby, robust boy. His jaw is
well and his head is covered with a
fine coat of hair. There is a little dry
ness about the scalp. This is the only
sign of the terrible disease left. His
mother desires me to thank the pro-
prietors of Swift's Specific very hear
tily. and she says she is so grateful
that words cannot express it. This is
a remarkable cure.

composed of G. &C. Eastwood and wife,
Charlie Kline, Of the drug store Of
IGoodhue & Evans in lola, and your
humble correspondent, with five head
of horses, one heavy wagon to haul
equipage. one light two-horse buggy,
one saddle, and all necessary camp
equipage consisting of stove, chairs,
table, bunk and a good tent; also
dog and gun. We passed through
Kansas almost due west from lola.
We found the crops very backward
aud very little wheat in some places.
Some fields of corn looked tolerably
well, but they were few and far be-
tween. We saw some fields of good
wheat but they were also very scarce.
Oats looks well all through the state,
except in the western part, and moth
ing looks well there. Beginning in
Greenwood county the peach crop is
good as far west as there are any trees
old enough to bear. AS for farming
in Kansas west of Kingman county l
think we prove failure but one finds
every little town full of land and loca-
ton agents, ready to tell the granger
how blowing the ground and planting
trees will make it valuable in the fu-
ture, and quilting them out of their
money and squatting them down to
waste their time and labor on land
that will never produce living for
them. And there are thousands of
eastern people squatting on these
claims and paying high prices for them
that will starve ont, and then they
will go back east and curse Kansas.
The land is good for grazing purposes
if you have enough of it and water
with it, and that is all it is good for.
1t will grow cookie burrs and
buffalo grass and that is about all
that it will grow, except prairie dogs;
and Colorado as far as we have seen is
the same as western Kansas, only
there is more rock. There is some
vegetation here but it looks poor to a
man from eastern Kansas. All of the
eastern part of Colorado is burning up
with drouth this spring and some are
moving their cattle east and some
west. We saw many more cattle in
western Kansas than in Colorado.
Pueblo is very nice town. They
claim 10000; there might have been
that number at some time but don't
think there is now. | believe one
fifth of the houses are for rent or sale.
The steel works is the largest thing
here and give employment, when
running, to over thousand hands.
Thera are also several large smelling
works which give work to many more.
We were glad to meet THE REGIS
TER here and heal from home. We
have the papers to the 18th of June.
Please send it TO us at Colorado
Springs from that number; we leave
for that place tomorrow and all mail
to that place viii reach us. The
health of our party is as good as could
be expected. The invalids are certain
ly better. We expect to go into the
mountains as the weather gets little
warmer. J. NJ. EASTWOOD.

HE TOOK THE ADVICE.

When Rev. George delivered the
baccalaureate address to the graduates
of the Normal, he gave many words OF
advice. Among other things he said,
at is not good for man to be alone
and for them TO form partnerships for
! life. Mr.. y. II. Newton, who has
just completed the four years course,
was first to take home to himself the
words of the sermon. Much to the
pleasant surprise of the students it
was announced in Normal circles that
Mr.. A. H. Newton and Miss Nathie J {.
Taylor had been united in marriage by
the Rev. T. Ingalls,. The contracting
parties were married Thursday even
ing at the residence of the brides
mother at l54 State street, in the pres
ence of the relatives and few init
mate friends.
Mr.. and Mrs. Newton will visit at
Neosho Falls for a few days, after
which they will visit other points in
the state and then attend the National
Teachers Association which meets at
Saratoga in July.
Mr.. Newton is an acknowled teach
er OF ability, having graduated in the
Normal in 1852, and having this year
completed a higher course. Miss Tay-
Tor has for several years conducted the
largest dressmaking establishment in
Emporia. A large number of friends,
including members of the board of re-
gents, members of the faculty and
students gathered at the depot to bid
them good bye.-EE,poria NeDS.
THE REGISTER desires TO acknowl-
edge the receipt of cards announcing
the happy union above referred to,
and TO extend TO Mr.. and Mrs. Newton |
our heartiest congratulations and |
good wishes.

new school building at lola. l have
secured the services of Prof. o. +.
Olin, c. l.. Merwin and f. Il. Barber.
1 had employed Mr.. Newton but he
resigned the position recently, causing
the change. The work is expected to
be very thorough this year, as the
state board are looking to better and
more systematic work on the part of
the teachers of the state, and to that
end they aim to raise the standard of
the teacher. In order that this end
may be reached the teacher must the
better prepare himself for the work be-
fore him. All grades will be expected
to study Physiology and Hygiene and
also be examined in the same at the
close of the Normal, owing TO the rul-
ing of the State Superintendent, "That
any teacher whose certificate does not
expire on or before the regular exam
ination in January 1856, must be ex-
amined i'm the branches named and
be compelled TO pay another dollar for
that examination" To avoid any ex-
ira examination / would advise all to
take the examination at the close of
the Institute.
instruction will be given in all the
branches through the entire term. a
class will be formed in Mental Philos-
ophy if desired by a sufficient number
to warrant the same. Special atten-
ton will be paid TO reading and pen
manship, as those branches are sadly
neglected by many of the teachers
We expect.to have Mis- Huffman of
the State Normal with us to give some
kindergarten instruction. President
Taylor of the State Normal, Profs. a.
5. and y. K. Oliu will each give lee
ture during the term. No teacher in
the county can afford TO miss this In
stitute for all it will cost. The citizens
of lola have placed boarding within
the reach of all, ranging from s. to 81
per week, owing TO location and rooms
furnished.
Since the state has made provision |
for the better preparation of its teach
ers, and the citizens and patrons of the
schools are SO willing to pay liberal
wages whenever possible, let us teach
ers show our appreciation of the same
by taking advantage of all these favors
and prove ourselves worthy of this
confidence. There can be no higher
calling as you, practically, for six or
eight months of the year, take the
place of the parents, the major portion
Of the time, in moulding and forming
