Fourth Day.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. s.-Yesterday's session Of
the Farmers and Laborers' Union convened
at eight O'Clock, with President Jones in the
chair. The entire forenoon was; occupied in
routine business, more particularly relating
to the adjustment of the representation from
the States to the National conventions, and
to the report of the committee On constitu :
ton. Both male and females are allowed to
become members of the order, and both
males and females are allowed to be sent as
delegates to the National convention vet SO
far only male members have acted in the
capacity of delegates The basis of repre-
sentation is on the numerical force of men,
bership, both male and female, one delegate
being allowed for each 10000 members in a
State, and also State being granted two
delegates at large. Yet it was decided that
the dues from each State to the National
treasurer should be charged only on the
male membership. The sum of five cents
per year is imposed upon each male mem
Der.
The committee on a new constitution re-
ported yesterday afternoon. The whole con-
stitution had been revised, vet the same
principles are advocated under cover of diff
ferent verbiage. In a few instances material
changes have been made One word was
stricken out of a clause that appeared in the
old constitution which will have great
weight in the organization of new lodges
1t was formerly made a qualification for
membership that the applicant should be a
country laborer or mechanic. The word
country is now stricken out, and there
fore city laborers and mechanics can become
meiabers as well as the yeomanry of the
country. This is loophole through which
many mechanics who belong to the Knights

a farming country, as we understand
it in the north.
Here but little corn and oats are rails

soil is too poor to produce good corn

Consumption.

No single disease has played such
sad havoc with the human race as con-
sumption. No other disease approach
es SO stealthy. Its early symptoms are
ignored because 1t is thought only a
cold or backing cough which is neg
lected until this grim monster has such
hold that nothing but death can re-
lieve it. Ballard's Horehound Syrup
has removed the grip of thi, grim
monster from many throat; if taken

surprising relief. Try its soothing and

81 Onf BsrfsssnsxSive q Com-
haaSnentary Banquet.

FROM the Laurence Tribune, Sept,
1.-THE Eldridge House last evening
was the scene Of a pleasant reception
and banquet. The occasion was the
entertainment of Congressman E. II.
Funston by the Cyclone Flambeau
club of this place. At nine O'Clock the
boys marched up from the X. P. hall,
where they had assembled and took
possession Of q number of tables in the
dining room of the Eldridge. The
congressman was escorted down from
the parlor by Mr.. Will Bullene, man.
ager of the Cyclones and the company
were then seated.
About one hundred persons were
present, almost filling the large dining
room, which was neatly and tastefully
decorated with the national colors.
The banquet like all those served by
the popular Eldridge House was all
that the heart or the stomach could
desire and the manner In which the
boys went for the good things, showed
how heartily they entered into the
spirit of the occasion. One of the most
pleasant features of the occasion was
the choice music by the mandolin club
during the entire progress of the ban.
quet.
After every one had been abundant
ly satisfied, Mayor Henley as master
of ceremonies arose and in a few well
chosen words welcomed Mr.. Funston
to Lawrence and rendered him the
freedom of the city. He was followed
by Mr.. Will Bullene who made short
speech of welcome. Mr.. Funston re.
eponded in a speech Of about thirty
minutes, thanking the Cyclones for
the unexpected demonstration In his
behalf. He briefly reviewed the prin-
ciples and record of the republican
party and dvised all the boye to stand
firm i'm the faith.
The mayor then called upon w. c.
Spangler to respond to the toast sour
Representatives" Col. H. M. Green
spoke of "The Press" and Mr.. John
Walker talked about Republican
Clubs"
The Cyclone club deserves great
credit for the admirable entertain.
ment which was so well planned and
executed. In the role Of hosts the boys
would be hard to beat and the excel.
lent manner in which the evening
was conducted, only added another
laurel to the organization in which
every citizen of Lawrence feels a just
pride.

HAMMOND, La,

FRIEND SCOTT:
In accordance with your request to
write letter for the REGISTER, Civ
ing Impressions of the country, people,
politics, etc." find myself at the
task though where TO begin or where
to stop when once begun is the con.
undrum.
However, impressions of the coun-
try" have precedence and We arevastly
afraid that your request in that direct
ion will be almost as fruitless as that
Of the lady who sent one dollar in an
swer 10 the advertisement show to
make an impression" and received
for an answer, "sit down in a pan OF
dough-" No one who goes into a new
or sparsely settled country for the first
time can, with any great degree of ac-
curacy, give description of its resour-
ces, capabilities aud future outlook
to do this requires a pretty general
and accurate knowledge of the soil,
crops, rainfall, cost Of production, fac.
ilties for marketing and a hundred
and one other causes and conditions
upon which the prosperity and success
Of its inhabitants depend. Then again,
there are the people themselves and
the climate in which they live to be
taken into consideration. Thus it is
that we say your request might be
nigh fruitless. But still there are many
things that we can say that will per-
baps be of interest to your readers and
our many Allen county friends.
About the first thing that strikes
the newcomer here especially If he be
from the beautiful and wide spreading
prairies of Kansas, is the tall and gra-
ceful pines waving their verdant tops
from an hundred TO an hundred and
fifty feet above his head, while from
the Gulf and lake Ponchartrain comes
a moisture laden and ozone bearing
breeze which makes the shade COM
Portable here even on the hottest days.
And for a while he feels sort of un-
easiness-has a cooped-up feeling as it
were, as he tries in vain to pierce with
his eye the vast, unbroken forests be-
fore him. He wants to see more than
ten minutes walk ahead and feels like
exclalming "give me the prairies or
give me DEATH" But the uneasiness
wears gradually away, he strives to
avoid any seeming familiarity on his
part with the grim spectre and "his
sickle keen" aud begins to feel at
home among the virgin forests and es-
pecially 80 when he remembers the
abundance of free fuel and warm eli.
mate as contras,ei with the scarcity
high cost of The former and the sever
ity Of the latter on the northern
prairies.
But as man cannot live by wood
and warm climate alone, the question
naturally arises. what can he do to
feed himself and family, (if he be for
tunate enough 10 have one, for fortu-
nate indeed is he who has one) and
lay by something for the proverbial
rainy day?
Well here as, elsewhere, there are
various occupations and they are car
ried on with the same varying success
to be found in other places. I believe
the business in which every one who
embarks in it will succeed has not
been introduced yet and is pot likely
to be this side of the millennium and
perhaps not then, so wherever we 60
and in sll branches of business we
find failures. But, to return to our

forest trees are used for shade tees.
The forest trees furnish us many use
