costs made by the defense in the Car
ter cases as written for the sole pur-
pose of injuring Mr.. Foust's congress
fonal candidacy. Such g. ,struction
does the REGISTER gros Injustice.
People who care to trea = paper
fairly certainly know Il. 'oes not
make its political fight: ,nsinua-
ton and inuendo. Fit J consider
ed Mr.. Foust's candidacy vi sufficient
importance tojustify serious consider
alton its readers would have found it
out without calling in the assistance of
their imagination. The item referred
to would have been written Just the
same if MFR. Foust had not been cam
didate for anything, or If he had not
been one of the attorneys in the case.
1t was not the intention of the article.
to create a prejudice against any of
the attorneys, or to cast any reflection
upon them. The REGISTER simply
regarded 1t asa duty it owed to the
public to protest against what appear
ed to be a needless expense. One re-
suit of the protest, as noted elsewhere,
has already been to return to the
county treasury 1915 that had been
taken through a mistake which our
inquiry disclosed. We trust that an
other result will be the exercise of
greater care i'm the summOning of wit
nesses when these cases are again
called. 1t Is well known that some
of the defendants have declared their
purpose to make the cases bankrupt
the county if they could. All the
REGISTER asks is that their attorneys
do not assist them in carrying out this
unholy purpose. The suggestion was
made i'm the best of humOr and from
the purest motives, and We regret that
its purpose and intent were miscon-
strued.
From the Eighth Annual Flax Seed
the author, Major Stevens, we note a
good many things of interest, among
them these: Kansas last year receiv-
averaging 81 bushel. The total crop
of the United States i'm 1889 was 1885,
80 bushels, while the capacity of the
flax seed oil mills of the United States
was Ii Co., 900 bushels, thus requiring
an importation of nearly as much as
the domestic product. BY reason of
this short home production the tariff
GO cents bushel on flax seed and %
cents gallon on flax seed oily is di-
rect protection te the flax grower. The
lowest price paid in Chicago during
1889 was 81 20 a bushel i'm August. The
highest price was Sl.64, paid I'm Janu-
AIRY. The report contains many such
interesting data and may be had free
by application to S. HI. Stevens, 80 |
Board of Trade Building, Chicago.
When the attention of Sheriff Ho-
bart was called to the item i'm last
weeks REGISTER pointing out the
fact that fees had been claimed and
allowed for subpGnaing two witnesses
twice the same day in the same case,
he thought there must be something
wrong about it and began looking it |
up. He soon found that one of the |
subpPnas was merely a copy which |
had been placed i'm the hands of his
deputy who thought it was original
and so entered up his charges on 1t |
and handed it i'm as part of the fee bill. |
As soon as he had made this discOv-
cry the sheriff went Immediately to
the county clerk and had the warrant |
for the extra s-S6.75-cancelled. |
1t was simply mistake, arising as
above stated, and the Sheriff was
glad that his attention was called to it.
On Friday last the managers of the
cooperative store, having first obtained
permission from the council committee
on streets and alleys, began excavation
in front of their store for the location of
large platform scales. On the remon-
STRANGE, however, of a number of the
property holders, the COM
mittee withdrew their permission and
the work was stopped. a special
of the council was called on
evening to consider the mat
ter, and after a long discussion, par
ticipated in by a number of business
men, the council refused, by a vote of
four to one, to permit the scales to be
located there. The +. NJ. b. A. man.
ayers are, of course, disappointed but
will make the best of the matter by
locating their scales across the street
from the store.
The annual social and reception of
the Normal students was held i'm the
NJ. +. church last Monday evening.
Most of the evening was spent i'm a
social way, getting acquainted and re-
newing old acquaintance, but time
was found for diverting recitations by
Miss Ella Cowan. Miss Carrie Strong,
Miss Belle Ricketts,, Mr.. Oscar Cain
and Mr.. George Smith. MIR. Wishard
whose musical capacity is well known
was called on for his favOrite quartette
but excused himself on the plea that
he had no music with him. Supt.
Barber was there, of course, and kept
everybody stirred up and interested
until about 1890 when the company
sang America" and dispersed.
Rev. J. w. Doughty preached very
in the Presbyterian church
last Sunday morning and gave an
hours most interesting talk about
Japan i'm the evening, to a very large
audience. Mr.. Doughty talks fiuently
and has an earnest way about him that
at once engages the attention and SYM
pathy of his audience. He and his
wife formerly Miss Brooks Cozine) ex-
pect to start next Monday to their
field of missionary labor in Japan, and
on this evening a farewell social will
he given them at the home of Mrs.
Adams, Carlyle. All their friends are
cordially invited.
Prof. Hamill will give an entertain
ment under the auspices of his class in
elocution, OH Thursday evening, July |
a, at the A. o. L. w. Hall. 1t is a
rare treat to our citizens to secure so
great talent as Prof. Hamill and his
accomplished daughter, and in order
to place this most excellent entertain
ment within the reach of all, the price
of admission has been placed at the
exceedingly low rate of 10 and 20 cts. |
There is no doubt that Prof. Hamill

ever in our city, and at the low rate of |
admission the size of the audience |
