Humboldt Convention was about six
bottles to the man. And this is the
outfit III our friend Gordon can spare
the word long enough for us to get it
in type) that 'sl00ks to the spirit and
genius of the democratic party for the
settlement of the vexed question Of
sumptuary and sanitary laws!"
We were busy in court three days last week
and overlooked several important events. Do
not feel offended IL We overlooked or failed to
publish some Items Of news in which you were
Interested -Cauranf.
They are never offended ut anything
Of that kind. Johnnie. They simply
wait till the REGISTER comes out for
they know il never Overlo0ks any
thing. And when we say "never,"
we don't want any two-fOr-a -nickle
mugwump up in the peanut gallery to
rise up and say 'hardly ever" Dye
hear!
While returning home from one of
the neighbours last Friday night, Allen
Bryant in some mysterious way re.
ceived blow on the head from which
he lay Unconscious for a long time and
was finally found wandering about in
q half dazed condition by members of
his family. DIR. w. d. Scott was sent
for and dressed the wound. Mr.. Bry.
ant thinks the blow came from some
one who attacked him for the purpose
of rObbing him.
The Horticultural Society had an in
teresting meeting at the court house
on Saturday last. A committee was
appointedst0 arrange for making an ex-
hibition Of fruit at Bismark this fall,
and Mt the National Association at
Cleveland, Ohio. Steps are being
taken by the society to purchase book
on horticulture. BoQuets of flowers
were exhibited by Mrs. PancOast and
Mrs. Groesbeck, and some fruit also
was ON exhibition.
Any one who may have been of the
opinion that DIR. LaFary had only To-
Gated here temporarily, would certain
~ have his mind disabused of the idea
il he would visit him ut his new rooms
over Richards & Henderson's. After
going to so much expense to fit up ele-
giant and comfortable rooms, and after
building up the fine practice that he
now enjOyes, the Doctor would certain
ly be foolish to leave 1t all and begin at
the bottom somewhere else.
1t never gets so bad in Kansas
that it is not worse somewhere else.
We .have had some rather warm
weather here the past two weeks but
up in Dacotah and Minnesota they
have had q regular simeon, people
awaking in the night with the air so
hot and sitting that they think their
houses on fire. And that in States
where it gets cold enough in winter to
freeze the hair off a dogs back. Stay
with Kansas q while longer.
Before you award that medal We would advise
you to have committee appointed to look over
the files of the REGIsTER.-Dem0craf.
1t would certainly be in bad taste to
compete for our own prize; neverthe-
less the ''files of the REGISTER" are
open for inspection. And We hope the
Democrat will be on the committee.
in order that it may be introduced to
the plain. unvarnished, iron-clad
TRUTH. We fear it would not recog-
nize it now if it should meet it OH the
street.
We had thought that Waters &
Thayer already had every sort of ma
chine that could be useful in any way
in the manufacture Of flour; but on
visiting their mill the other day wei
found they had put in still another.
This Is the Garden City Brush Scalp
er" and is q machine in which the
wheat grain is brushed after being
cracked, cleaning it Of all the "crease
dirt.n The resnlt of the introduction
of this machine is to make the flour
much purer and whittier.
The democrats of Allen county who
lit onto prohibition with all four feet
last year, now touch it gingerly under
laws" for the settlement of which they
look to the Esprit and genius of the
democratic party" In about four
years from now, when prohibition shall
have become such settled fact that
every body else has forgotten about it,
they will split their threats yelling for
reinforcement of the law" The demo-
cratic party in Allen county, like Art
mus Wards monkey, is ian amoosin'
little cuss."
Mr.. West received this week letter
which has q decided interest aside from
its contents, from the fact that it had
lain at the bottom of the ocean for four
months. On the back of it was pasted
q slip of paper OH which was printed
the following;
P.O. NEW YORK July 6, 1Ss6.
This piece is q portion of the mail forwarded
from Queenstown, Ireland, per steamer ORE
GoN, on March 9TH, damaged by the sinking OF
that vessel OF Fire Island on March Nth. lie
HENRY G. PEARSON, Postmaster.
The letter had been carefully dried
and was perfectly legible.
We call the attention of the bread
eating public to the new advertisement
of Waters & Thayer. AS you will no
tice this firm has again reduced the
price of flour. This fact alone should
secure them a liberal patronage to say
nothing of the fact that their -four is
always fresh and of better average
quality than any you can buy else
where; also, that they are home in-|
stitution that always pay the highest
cash price for grain and have always
given you q steady and reliable market.
When you want fresh flour, feed or
coal cheap, 60 to the mill or leave Or
ders at Whitaker's.
Mr.. A. H. Knox, of Humboldt, was
in town Tuesday to get out an injunc-
ton against the Lacquer who was try
ing to take forcible possession of
piece of land owned by Judge Knox.
The land has been and is occupied by u
tenant, who has so acres under cultiva-
ton. The Lacquer cut through the
hedge and built his shanty in q field
