1t is noted as very singular and un-
usual fact that the corn in the river
bottoms is not standing the dr0uth so
well as that on the uplands. Some
with whom we have spoken attribute
it to the flood last year, but we fail to
see the philosophy Of the explanation.
We hear it limited that some of the
young ladies are keeping tally and that
the hundredth man who tips his hat to
them is the one they are to marry.
Such rumor will either prove a great
disc0urager of politeness, or it will set
every man in town to tipping his hat
on the slightest prOvocation. Which
We hope every one of the "gentle-
men from Kansas in both houses of
Congress received ut least 500 letters
from Allen county last week, remind
ing them that we have little dispute
out here over few acres of land that
we expect them to settle. We hope
they will all receive 1000 such letters
next week.

and it will not be long until it is ready
for occupancy. The changes that have
been made ia the arrangement of the
rooms will make the hall a very pleas

warmest weather, while it will be cas-

The Delinquent Tax List is nearly
two columns longer this year than 1t
was last. 1t will be still longer next
year unless the land question is settled
as "A number of the purchasers have
told us that they would pay no more
taxes until their title was assured.
They do not see why they should con-
tribute to the support of laws that do
not protect them.

help US to make it a success.
The handsome residence of w. w.
Anderson came near being destroyed
by fire Wednesday, the early discovery
tions alone saving it. The fire was
started, Mr.. Anderson thinks, by the
sun light shining through a window
onto the nickle plates of a stove and
being reflected onto a garment that he
had worn while painting and which
was more or less covered with oil and
paint.
1t is never so bad in Kansas that it
is not worse somewhere else, as we
have frequently taken occasion to re-
mark. In western Texas, between the
Brazos and the Rio Grande, it has only
rained once in the past twelve months.
No crops of any kind have been raised,
the grass is dead, the supply of water
is exhausted and the settlers are liter
ally fleeing for their lives leaving thou
sands of cattle to perish of hunger and
thirst.
When the Leaguers were cutting
fences, committing assaults, burning
houses, resisting officers and treating
with contempt the DEGREES of the courts,
the Interstate had not a word to say.
Now that correspondent or two of the
REGISTER asks that the supporters of
law and order organize and assist the
officers in the execution of their duty,
the Interstate tears its hair and yells,
"bloody murder!"
In reply to "Bonny Ben's' inquiry
as to whether the REGISTER would
not make room for brief communica-
lions from the teachers ON the subject
of the present school law, we cheerful
ly respond in the Affirmative. The
columns of the REGISTER are always
open to communications from anybody
on any subject, the only requirements
being that the communications be
couched in decent language and that
we be furnished the name of the
author.
