A GRACEFUL AcKHowIKDanEHr.

NATIONAL CITY Cali. Apr. 30.
Editor Register,
lola, KANSAS
Dear Sir: Only a few days have
passed since 1 received from a friend
at lola copy Of yours of the Goth ult.,
in which was published series Of res
olutions adopted by the members of
the Bar of the District Court of Allen
county, complimentary to myself.
Feeling sense of gratitude for this in
valuable recognition, and wishing to
express the same with equal publicity.
I desire to return, through the medium
of your excellent REGISTER, my sim
cere thanks to the members of that
Bar. individually and collectively, for
the kind words expressed. With con-
siderable experience in the practice
land otherwisel of the law, and having
met large number of persons engaged
in the profession land in professional
way), 7 feel justified in saying that the
Bar of Allen county has not, so far as
this experience has gone, been excelled
by any in its exhibition of professional
learning, integrity, constancy and
courtesy. Long may the members of
the Bar of Allen county, Kansas, live.
and none be briefless.

blowing 30 near the corn ~ many
advocate. and the point is this; the
roots should not be broked, and in q
dry time the ground will dry out as
deep a. plowed, and hence 1t will not
hold moisture as we'll as shallow Guilt
walton.
The earth should be pulverized into
dust to the very stalks Of the growing
plant, II it can be done without dis
turbing the roots. I know it is held
by some that growing corn is improv-
ed by cutting and tearing out some Of
the roots, but this Is theory that
science, reason and experience alike
condemn:
Now, do not misunderstood me.
would have the ground thoroughly
pulverized all around the growing
plant, but would have it done in such
q way as not to disturb the roots. This
argues thorough preparation Of the
soil before planting, then close but
shallow cultivating afterwards.
Plowirg done in the fall is far better
than spring blowing for either corn or
oats, and it can be worked much earlier
and corn and oats will grow much
faster, and will make q much larger
yield. And besides all of this, the
soil is more pulverizsd-works better,
and holds moisture much better than
spring blowing.
Let US hear from other parties
through the "Farmer's Column" on
corn culture.

50 MILES DIsAPPEAR.

Thirty miles of country is big thing
to disappear. but this distance has been
dropped out between Kansas City and
Chicago. How it happened is thus
figured out: The Chicago, Santa Fe
and California Railway is completed
between Kansas City and Chicago,
and the distance between the two cities
is only 458 miles measuring from Union
Depot, Kansas City, to Dearborn Sta
ton, Chicago. This is exactly thirty
miles less than by any of the old lines
so you have to travel thirty miles less
and practically the Santa Fe has made
thirty miles disappear. A few years
at this rate and Kansas will be in New
England.

vEsr1BuIE TRAINS TO CHICAGO.

The vestibule train is a new factor
In western railroad transportation. 1t
is claimed for these trains that on &C
count of their being connected by steel
hoods all danger of telescoping in case
of accident is removed, the train being
practically one long car. 1t is certain
that the oscillation of the cars is great.
ly reduced, and it is also certain that
the vestibule trains afford the greatest
comfort yet known to travellers. The
adoption of this style Of train by the
Chicago, Santa Fe & California Rail-
way between Kansas City and Chica-
go is a strong bid for the passenger
traffic between the West and Chicago.
This new road is in many particulars
ahead of any of its older competitors,
and will undoubtedly be the popular
road to Chicago.

gentlemen have been mentioned In
this connection, but the rivalry is an
entirely friendly one and whatever the
result It will be accepted without Bit
terness. So far a. we are concerned 1t
will be impossible, even II we were
20 inclined, for rs to make personal
canvass prior to the meeting Of the
nominating convention. And as the
Partially Of friends is responsible for
our candidacy, 30 the outcome of 1t
must depend upon their kindly Offices.
In any event the expressions Of cordial
good will and confidence already given
and particularly the generous CONF
mendation of our newspaper brethren
will always be gratefully remembered.

TON.

DECLARATION OF PURPOSE.
Being convinced by evidences on
very hand of the imperative necessity
of an association of farmers, and being
moved by unfeigned courtesy toward
those of other business classes we deem
it expedient on our part to express our
purpose in unmistakable terms.
1t is universally admitted that every
profession and business, apart from
farming. looks either directly or in
directly to the farmers for sustenance.
The fact should impel every business
or professional man to at least give US
the benefit of their good wishes, if not
a helping hand. We do not incline to
the opinion that even successful farm
ing can be made entirely Independent
yet a glance at our situation reveals
the truth that We are growing more
and more dependent, and that quite to
our disadvantage. We tengage to
educate ourselves to appreciate the
dignity of our calling, to look up with
pride and satisfaction to our chosen
business, to make our business more
inviting and promising.
Unorganized, we stand opposed to
our special interests by making room
for numerous distractions in our path,
without the courage or ability to re-
move them. Unorganized, we float
along down the stream of time uncon-
scious Of our importance as a business
class, unminded of the many advan-
tages within our grasp, unable to
determine the cause of our many
failures.
Organized, we have the advantage
of exchanging ideas, exchanging ex-
periences, exchanging sympathy. and
the advantage of disseminating timely
and important Observation-Disclosures
lied, we have the advantage of uniting
our interests and combining our
strength.
We engage to acquaint oursel yes
with and to support our Municipal.
County, State and National laws. We
engage not to interfere with any other
business class, or profession, but rather
to respect all legitimate business and
professions. But we will promptly and
fearlessly place the stamp of condem-
nation on every business and profes.
sion which, in our judgment, is calcu.
lated to interfere with our rights. We
intend to be progressive in thought
and action. We shall endeavor to adj
vance our country in general-morally
intellectually and financially.
We rely with full confidence, in an
Allwise Providence for our ultimate
success.
PREAMBLE.
We, farmers of the United States of
America, believing that our business
il the business preservative ofbusiness,
and that our peculiar interests and
acknowledged rights have been, and
will continue to be disregarded, unless
we assume the Office of self-protection;
we therefore, do resolve to organize
ourselves for the purpose hereafter
mentioned and to adopt for our gov
eminent the following motto, constitu-
ton and bylaws:
MOTTO.
Equal and exact justice to all;
special privileges and immQnities to
none, charity to those in poverty, az
