is by no means the only State which
will have less than an average crOI
this year. Indeed the shortage all oveI
the country is such as to indicate that
farm products will reach higher price
this season than they have seen for
many years.
We advise all the young ladies and
young gentlemen who would like to
know something of how to secure a
practical business education to write to
Prof. E. l.. McIlravy, Lawrence, Kan
sas, for new catalogue of the Law
renee Business College. We can most
heartily recommend this institution as
every way reliable.
1t is the universal opinion of num-
Der of farmers with whom we have
lately talked that hay will be very

Put up every pound you can and pro-
tect 1t from the wedther. If hay is
worth seven or eight dollars a ton it
will not take much of it to pay for a
covering that will save it.
Merely by way of reminding our read
ers how time flies, we pause to remark
that it is two hundred and sixty.seven
years to-day since the first Colonial
Assembly ever held in America con-
vened at Jamestown, Va. 1t was

of-war brought twenty negroes to Vir-
ginia and sold them as slaves.
One of our subscribers, in sending
us a notice for publication in our "For
Sale or Trade" column, suggests that
we ought to allow the use Of that col
umn only to paid up subscribers. The
suggestion is good one and may be
adopted when hard times are over. If
it were enforced now we fear the col.
umn would have but few patrons.
We see by the Uniontown Tele-
phone that Mr.. &. H. Requa, of Bron-
son, is a candidate for representative
from the 18th district subject to the re-
publican convention. Mr.. Requa is an
able and. thoroughly upright man and
the REGISTER would be glad to see
him receive the nomination for an Of
flee which he would fill with credit.
Cummings & Jones can and do loan
money on the cheapest and best terms.

abstract books in the county. 81. They
give the best optional payments before
maturity. Sd. They charge no COM
missions. 4th. They pay the borrower
the proceeds of his loan upon compile
ton of the papers. Call and see Cum
mings & Jones.
On Saturday, June 90, the democrat
ic county central committee met in the
office of the Alien County Democrat.
Too bad that on this day of all days,
the day on which he met for the first
time with the official representatives
of the Allen county democracy, the edi-
tor of the said paper should have suf
fered from such a gigantic attack of
malaria and colds"
After stating that it announced
Funston's denomination in order to
give it wider circulation than the
REGISTER could do, the Interstate
says" Send down that leather medal"
If We had it we would cheerfully conf
ply; but it Is now framed and hung up
(sOme say it is nailed to the wall for
safe keepingl in the Office of the Alien
County Democrat.
A letter from Headquarters to Mr..
RambO informs him that the applica-
ton signed by the Sons of Veterans of
lola, for q charter to establish Camp
of that order at this place, will be
granted upon compliance with the re-
quired conditions. The boys were to
meet last night to talk over the mat
ter and the probabilities are that the
Camp will be organized within few
days.
We sec by the Chanute papers that
ga grand reunion of the HOosiers liv-
ing in the counties of Allen, Neosho,
Wilson and WoOdson will be held at
Chanute September 18th. The COM
mi!tee Announces that they will, if posi-
BILE, secure the presence of EX-Gov. a.
G. Porter. Joseph E. Mcdonald and
Senators VOORHEES, and Harrison, and
that if they come these distinguished
men will address their former Indiana
fellow. citizens."
1t really seems as though corn
would reach pretty high price this
fall. In Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Mich
igan and several other eastern States,
as well as in parts of Missouri, Iowa
and Nebraska the drouth has been
much worse than in Kansas. The grass
in those States is parched and dead and
the corn, for the most part, is total
failure. The supply will certainly be
so far below the usual amount as to
make very active demand. The pros
pect is one to which Kansas can look
forward with great equanimity.
When in Stover's office Wednesday
he showed us an abstract of title to two
acres of land, which he had just COM
pleted, upon which were shown the
following instruments Patent, war
ranty deed, mortgage. decree of fore
closure, sheriff's deed, mortgage, re-
lease, trust deed for benefit of creditors,
assignment by trustee, assignment by
Register in Bankruptcy, two leases,
one of fifty-five grantOrs), will, deed
of heirs, deed by attorney, power of
attorney, deed of undivided J, warranty
deed, and plat. The tract is part of
the old Allen county fair grounds, and |
the abstract is certainly curiosity.
From the bestestimates we can get the editor |
of the REGISTER has lost all regard for truth. |
But perhaps it is necessary for one end of the |
family to preach temperance and accuse demo- |
Gratis of being beer guzzlers, while the other
We cheerfully call attention to the
admirable logic in the above and a
number Of other paragraphs in the

the democrats, therefore it is perfectly |
