AT THE time of General Fremont's
death he was engaged upon the manu-
script of paper for The Ce',tury's
Forthcoming series on the California
Gold Hunters" 1t was to be entitled
"Finding Paths TO California;" and
was not only to deal with the several
exploring expeditions, but to narrate
the writer's intimate connection with
the events which led to the conquest
and occupation of the territory. The
work viii be promptly continued by
Mrs. Fremont. A first draft of the
article has been made, and the subject
had been so recently and closely dis
cussed by General and Mrs. Fremont
that she will have no trouble in COM
pleting the manuscript, for which she
had already written an introduction,
as well as supplement describing her
life at Monterey in 1S49. A fine por.
trait of General Fremont from a dag
uerreotype of 40 or 50 will appear in
the September number of The Century,
along with portraits of Commodores
Sioat and Stockton. "Duken Gwin,
and Governor Burnett, i'm an article
giving account of .'How California

THE following manly words from
the Humboldt Union are i'm striking
contrast TO the false and ill-natured
recTimination that has come from other
quarters and will increase the already
high esteem i'm which Editor McElroy
is held as gentleman and loyal Re
publican:
In the primary election held last
Saturday, Hon. +. H. Funston carried
the county by a decided majority.
Funston's friends worked with a will
and zeal that plainly showed that
they were determined to carry the
county at all hazards, well realizing
that if he lost his own county the pros
pect of him carrying the district nomi-
nation would not be at all promising.
Outside of lola township the vote was
comparatively light, but it was every
where heavy enough to serve the
friends of Funston, At the primaries
also there were many who opposed
his return to Congress. There was a
healthy minority against him. But
the battle ended with the close of the
polls at the primaries. Those who
voted against Mr.. Funston i'm the
primaries were Republicans. They
are still members of that party
and will vote for him should he re-
ceive the nomination.

Decidedly the pleasantest event O.
the season came off at Diamond schoo
house on the evening of July "a, al
which time and place the members oI
Diamond Lodge +. NJ. B. A. tendered
their ladies @ surprise ice cream sup.
per. The affair was conducted sc
secretly that the ladies were taken
completely by surprise, and much OF
the amusement came in, when they
exchanged experiences as to the var
ious subterfuges used by the gentle
men to get their wives ON that
particular evening, some of which
were only excusable upon the by.
pothesis that "The end Justified the
means.u
In addition to an abundance of ice
cream aud cake there was speaking
by Messrs. l.. ID. Mathews and Lee
Jones, after which Mrs. r. w. Jones
was called for, and endeavored to
thank the Lodge for their compliment.
If Mrs. Jones did not say all she
would have liked to, she made it clear
that it Is better to work than to stand
around and howl "hard times"
Someone will perhaps be ready to
say, "The ladies were unworthy;n but
we are glad that "Those who know us
best, love us most" and the donors
can never realize how much we really
do appreciate their very successful
effort. Try it again, gentlemen, we
won't be so hard to get out next time.
We found it an unprecedented treat
sitting quietly, no, we were not quiet,
but it was nice to have the gentlemen
serving ice cream, and doing the
honors with so much grace.

Noble Prentis: With "borrow,'
and "bonds" expunged from the
bright lexicon of Kansas, something
like revolution will have occurred in
our State. and the Kansas man will
have suffered a sea change, into
something new and strange" Such
change would remove the dressing
from the editorial and oratorical fowl.
It would be the end of the practice of
borrowing money of man one day,
and the ineffable Stiffness of calling
him "Shylock" the next day. 1t
would shut off a Niagara of talk about
the oppression of capital and the ex-
tortion of corporations; it would lessen
the loud call for money so cheap that
you must count on forcing people to
take it. a change would occur in the
financial habits of individuals, and
the man who but the other day put
an incumbrance on his home in order
20 buy what Sam Jones calls "striped
buggy" would be obliged to study up
some other way of making a fool of
himself.

IL VIEW of statements that have
been made i'm certain quarters the
REGISTER Is offering handsome re-
ward for the name of any Republican
in lola township who came to town to
vote at the Congressional primary
and then went away without voting
for fear he would be insulted at the
polls. We are also offering a reward
for the name of any Republican who
offered his vote and had it refused.
We are offering third reward for the
name of any Democrat who voted at
the lola primaries for Funston. Peo-
pie might as well be specific about
these little things.

Laurence Gazette (Deul. In Iom.

Laurence Gazette (De1i.): In Eom-
mating Mr.. Allen, of Douglas county,
for Congress we believe the Peoples
party at its Ottawa convention made
mistake. Not that there is anything
to be said against Mr.. Allen per-
sonally, for he is a highly respected
gentleman; but he is not one upon
whom the opposition to orepublicanism
can combine. There was a glorious
opportunity in this district this year
to defeat the republican nominee and
make an effective protest against re-
publican legislation. If the democrats
and those interested i'm the farmers
movement could have united upon
some strong man satisfactory to both
parties, he could have been elected.
But as the cardinal principle of DEM
ocracy is tariff reform, the democrats
cannot support Mr.. Allen, for he is u
pronounced proteetionist. The Ottawa
convention threw away a certainty.

SINCE our last issue conventions fol-
the election of delegates to the Con-
gressional convention have been held
In Douglas, Johnson, Miami and An
derson counties, and all of them have
gone solid and instructed for Funston
except Anderson which sends an un-
instructed delegation. A private let
eer brings us the information, how
ever, that seven of this Anderson
county delegation are for Funston and
that the whole delegation will be for
him when it gets to Kansas City.
Wyandotte and Franklin hold their
conventions tomorrow and it is con-
ceded that they will be for Funston
as the opposition has given up the
fight. Mr.. Funston will be renomi-
mated by acclamation.

Kansas City Gazette: They are be-
ginning to come In out of the brush,
and they all make the same report,
and that is that the steers are all
headed the same way. Hon. Joel
Moody of Linn county, called yester-
day, and he discussed learnedly ON
the difficulty of making negative
fight. He is of the opinion that the
only way to get through this world is
to be for something-that the "agin"
business is too thin to enthuse. An
hour later, Hon. w. NJ. Rice, editor of
the Fort Scott Monitor called, and he
occupied some time in telling how 1t
happened. These fellows were clever
about it, and had no chess knives in
their boot legs. They will be at Chel-
sea Park, August 5, and they will be
with the ticket until election day.

Tho Candidates.

The modesty of candidates for office
Is proverbial and doubtless accounts
for the fact that the REGISTER has
but few announcements to which to
direct attention this, week. Perhaps
others will gain courage and make
| their wishes known later.
But those We do present this week
are choice lot. The announcement
of l.. B. Pearson, of salem, as cam
didate for Representative Is one, for
lively satisfaction by Republicans in
all parts of the county. A Republican
to the core, an old soldier, man of
much more than average intelligence,
well posted on all the questions of the
day, with strong convictions and the
courage of them, Mr.. Pearson would
make a strong and capable rep
resentative. The convention would
make no mistake i'm placing him on
the ticket as he would command the
enthusiastic support of the entire coun-
ty.
Precedent i'm the Office of Probate
Judge gives the incumbent who does
his duty three terms, and maybe four
or five. Judge Arnold has certainl y
done his duty, and done it i'm such n
manner than in four years We have
not heard a whisper of complaint. And
so the probability is that he will sue
ceed himself without opposition and
about nine-tenths of the people regard
less of politics will say "amen.n
1t is merely matter of courtesy
surely, and not of necessity that
prompts Ed. Barber to announce that
he will again be candidate for the
Office of Superintendent, for he would
be nominated just the same whether
he asked for it or not. And As to his
election that will be taken practically
by default for we doubt If anybody
can be found willing to even go
through the form of opposing him. A
man that has done the work for our
public schools that Barber has done
for the past tw years, doesn't have to
ask for a reelection. All he needs do
is to signify his willingness to accept
it.
The denomination of Capt. Ewing Is
a foregone conclusion and his subse-
quent election will follow az a matter
of course. During the past two years
he has had some unusually difficult
cases to mango and his management
ofthem has been such as 10 fully justi-
fy the high opinion his friends already

ANOTHER REPORT.

The wives of the members of the +.
M. B. A. were decoyed to the Diamond
school house on the night of the oath
and there treated to Ice cream and
cake by their liege lords. The COM
pleteness of the surprise: proved the
error of the old saying, that man can
never keep anything. After refresh
ments were served speeches were call
ed for. Mr.. ID. Mathews being presi-
dent responded first i'm his usual strain
regarding the misery of the farmers
and the dark cloud" of debt that con-
honest tillers of the soil. He was fol-
lowed by Mr.. l.. s. Jones, whose speech
was pervaded by the cheerful senti-
ment that his religion teaches. But
the crowning speech of the evening
was made by one of the wives, Mrs.
ThOs. Jones, whose surprise did not
prevent her thoughts from finding vent
In some wonderfully apt and pointed
remarks in the shape of contrasts be-
tween the environments of the farmer
of 80 and 80; and when she depicted
so definitely the difference between
the old warfare with the stumps, those
unappreciated reminders of hOwling
inhabitants of the wilderness, and the
present pleasant occupation of agricul-
ture, where the owner of these broad
acres of beautiful prairie land mounted
on his riding plow, cultivator, mower,
or binder. feels himself monarch of ali
he surveys, her voice was drowned in
the applause that burst spontaneously
from every lip.
All went home feeling that they had
experienced very profitable and en-
joyable time.
