Without wishing to be extensively
personal we vet cannot reeist..the temp
tatfon to remark in q good humOred
way that there was at least one smOk-

Mr. d. B. D. Smeltzer drove out to his
farm the other day and was surprised
to find his field of rye headed out, and
standing as high as a mans waist. He
found blue grass headed also and
showed us bunch that measured IL
inches in length. Mr.. 8. has IS acres
of wheat which looks finely, while all
of his fruit trees, except peach, are
loaded. This is going to be boom
year for Kansas farmers.
Judge Arnold tells US that Henry
Brandley. one of his old army comrades
and secretary of the State Kepuoiican
Committee, will be candidate this
year for Secretary Of State. Our guess
is that the Allen county delegation
will favor Noble Prentis for this Ofhce,
but if it should become necessary to
exercise a second choice Mr.. Brandley
would certainly stand good show as
his standing and ability eminently TIT
him for the Office.

The Leaguers i'm Allen county are
getting more and more desperate. A
farmer was shot at by a masked man
one day last week, and several other
like outrages are reported. The end OF
these troubles is near, we believe; Tor
law-abiding people won't stand it
much longer. The REGISTER says
over half the expense of the courts in
that county for the past five years has
been made on account of these land
Itroubles.-COlony Free Press.
Mr.. and Mrs. D. r. Beatty leave to-

which marked him in every transac-
ton of his business career.-E. Scott
