confer a favor by bringing ladies with

Monday, were defeated by majority
of Is. The dispatches say that the

One of the most prominent members
of the League, and one from whom we
expected better things, was in town
this week to see if the Boeken boys
could not be arrested for fOrcible entry
and assault and battery! Just think
for q moment of the monumental gall
of the thing. Arrest man for fOrci-
bly, entering his own house, and for
assaulting and battering man who
has already attempted his life! The
deputy county attorney very sensibly
assured the gentleman that there could
be no hopes of q conviction, but the
fact that warrant was applied for
shows very plainly how the League re-
CARDS the affair.
Among the interesting items figured
out of the last Agricultural Report, we
find that there are 5000 more men
than women in the state; that there are
311 ITO more single persons than mar
ried; that there are in Allen county 246
widows and 161 widowers; that Allen
county has %. q inhabitants to the
square mile; that of the Inhabitants of
Allen county, Also were born in KAN
sas, and that of the remainder there are
representatives of every State and Ter
ritory except Idaho, Arizona, WyOm.
ing Washington, Utah New Mexico aud
Montana; that there are in this county
% people so years of age and over;
that the total value of the farm prod
ucts of Allen county for the year 1885
was 1851 ,074.O5.
There has always been more or less
talk at intervals about forming a COM
pany here to bore for gas to be used as
fuel, and since the REGISTER men,
toned the matter some weeks ago, the
talk has again been renewed. 1t is
greatly to be hoped it will not end in
talk this time. We believe that if the
matter were energetically taken hold
of there would be no difficulty in Sc.
curing the necessary capital to prose-
cute the work. There is hardly a |
chance of failure, and success would
mean not only wealth to the stock
holders of the company, but an i'm
mense yearly saving to every house
holder in the town. If lola capital
does not take hold of it, foreign capital
will. and We would like to see the pro-
fits remain st home.
Asian evidence of the character oil
the. Interstate in point of truth and
veracity. we copy the following
item which appeared in its columns
yesterday. "Last week Mr.. BOeken's
place was the scene of assault and bat
terry caused by Beken etting possess
sion of a settlers land when the latter
was away from home visiting. Such at
at fraud and wilful disregard
of the law only invites the worst fight

any other man cannot succeed in any

set aside the writ and all proceedings
of the sheriff obtained by stealth duress,
fraud or eviction without lawful:author-
ity." A good many men will lie when |
they are pretty sure they will not be |
caught at it, but it takes good deal of |
''gall" for a man to lie when he HIM
self and every body else knoWs he is
living.
