In contemplating the deplorable &C
cident at the ball game at Kincaid last
Saturday, we are tempted to ask, what
lie the use Of playing with such death
dealing instrument - the League
Ball?" Couldn't just rs much fun be
had with ball q little less homicidal
in construction?
Mr.. Roe, Of Sedalia, NO., is q late
addition to the lola sine. Our boys
seem TO feel some confidence in their
ability to meet the field, and have
arranged for some games next week
that will no doubt be interesting. They
play Garrett Monday or Tuesday
Independence on Wednesday, and
probably Chanute some time the lat
ter part of the week.
H. Busley, of Elm township, planted
10 acres of peas this spring which he
thinks have been a most profitable
crop. From the time they were old
enough he turned his hogs on acres
of them and there is yet feed enough
to pasture them two months, and he
will get over 300 bushels Of peas from
the ground. 1t certainly looks as If
the idea was q good one.
An important business change is
made this week by which s. A. Brown
& Co.'s lumber yard is sold to Mr.. A.

Since the beginning Of the fax sea-
son there has been shipped from this
city by J. r. Winfield 4 Co., and the
Union Grain Co., about SO cars against
40 of the entire season of last year.

cars at the end of the season.-Chan,lte

The Blade neglects to return thanks
to the tariff for making this possible.
There would be no fax shipped from
Kansas under free trade.
1t is probable that quite large par.
ty of our q. A. R. people will attend
the reunion to be held at Columbus,
Ohio next month. Mr.. Thayer already
has the names of q and many others
have signified their intention of going

be made. Tickets good going until
the 10th and returning the I'D will be
put on sale the8th. As yet Mr.. Turner
has only been authorized to sell at one
fare for the round trip, but it is report
ed that better rates will be given.
We have inquired diligently among
the farmers happening in town this
week, as to the corn prospects, and in
nearly all cases the report is favorable.
Allen county will ship corn this fall
by the trainload. There are OCCASION
ally fields where, either from the fact
of being on high light coil, or from too
late planting, the crop is light. but on
the whole we may be we'll Satisfied.
We are told by farmers who have
spent half life time in this county
that taking everything together, corn,
small grain, fruits, MELONS, ETC., AL
len county has never experienced a
more prosperous season.
The demurrer in the ''even section"
case was argued at Leavenworth last
week. Judge Brewer has taken it I'M
der advisement. This demurrer claims
of course, that the United States does
not state q cause Of action in its bill
asking for the setting aside of the
patents to the railroad company. The
company and its grantees claim that
the governing points in this case were
decided in the "odl section" case,
decided in the United States Supreme
Court; and also, that the claim that
the lands involved are "New York
Indian Lands" 10 without foundation.
The attorneys for the purchasers from
the company are sanguine that the
demurrer will be sustained. II not,
the trial will be had upon the introduce
ton Of evidence.
There seems to have been much un-
necessary alarm about the condition of
