this week, we learned that the cOndi

and that the farmer who has stock {,

and hogs from So 25 to s. so. This !.
q fair price and when we come to take
j into consideration the abundance and
cheapness of corn it leaves f, II mar.
gin for profile. The prices It yeal
were little or no better yet the ..st OF

They know how to cure rheumati M
] in Pennsylvania. Mr.. J. F. Meighan,
Pittsburgh cigar dealer, awoke one
morning with an attack Of rheumat.
ism in his right arm. Working
around the STORE during the forenoon
made 1t worse. BY noon the pain was
SO severe that he could not raise hi-
hand to bis head and had to carry his
arm in sling. One Of his customers.
on learning the facts, went across the
street to Z. E. Heck's drugstore, and
at bis own expense procured bottle of
Chamberlain Pain Balm and per-
suaded the cigar dealer to try it. 1t
eased the pain and reduced the SWELL
ing go that by the next morning he
could use his arm, apd by the second
morning was entirely well. This is
only one of the many severe cases of
rheumatism that have been cured by
this valuable remedy so cent bottles
for sale by all druggists.
Mr.. NJ L. Herford has been confined
| TO h's house this week from injuries
received in a collision between freight
trans at COl0nylast Saturday evening.
The train Mr.. Herford was on, was
switching to let the other pass but
lacked two freight cars and the ca.
bOose of clearing the main track when
the other train dashed into it. The
two freight cars were splintered and
the cabOose was stopped 80 suddenly
that all the passengers were pitched
headlOng. Mr.. HerfOrd was thrown
onto his head and shoulders and sui.
fered severe, although not serious in
Jury. He thinks himself fortunate to
have escaped 90 easily as, IL his train
had been two seconds earlier, so that the
other had struck the caboOse instead
of the car In front, he would almost
certainly have lost his life.
The REGISTER heartily approves
the suggestion that the newspaper cor.
respondents of the county have pic
mic reunion sometime this spring.
provided Of course that the editor may
be allowed to take an humble seat
somewhere In the neighborhood. The |
REGISTER has now, and has had,
some very bright men and women on
its staff and they could not help hav-
ing Jolly time il they should all get !
together. We would suggest the first |
Saturday In June as the time, aud |
lola as the place for such reunion |
Suppose each of the correspondent 8 |
give his preference as to these particu-
lars in his next letter. We can then |
take the time and place that cult the
larger number and proceed to make
whatever other arrangements are
necessary.
A mistake crept into Mr.. Funston's
letter last week by which Deer Greek
RI pohip I,,I., |
township was intended, thus mixing
his illustration somewhat. The idea
intended to be illustrated was that
Sllcot, the defaultiDg cashier, was an
on1cer of the government and that his
embezzlement of the congressmcn's
salaries did not release the &c !ern-
ment from its obligation to pay them.
Suppose that Mr.. A. owes Mr.. B $1,000.
He gives the money to clerk to deiiv-
er, but the clerk steals 1t and runs
away. Does not Mr.. A. still owe Mr.
B. his $1,000? OF course he does, both
in law and equity. And that illus
trates exactly the silcOt case. The
matter IS now in the courts aud will
soon be settled.
A subscription paper has been circu-
lated this week and literally signed,
pledging the funds necessary to secure
Allen county a page in the "Kansas
book" that is to be published and dis
tributed by the State Immigration
Society Thousands Of copies of the
book are to be printed and scattered
broadcast over the East. The aid of
all the railroads has been enlisted and
they will run excursions at greatly re-
duced rates to the county seat of all
the counties represented in the book
Hundreds of home seekers will thus
be brought to the State and it will be
worth many times what 1t costs us to
bave it 80 arranged that Allen county
shall get her share of them. We are
glad the matter has been taken in
hand.
" A. Ross: 81 am farmer and
member of the F. NJ. 3 A., and what
l thir we ought to do ia to get manu-
to locate here. If we could
get q packing house here to cure our
meat, and q linseed oil mill to use up
our fax, and q broom factory to take
our broom corn, it would be the best
thing that could possibly happen to
US. like your idea, too, about storing
corn 1t would never have to be held
long before the price would go up
enough to pay for it,"
A friend OF ours whom we will call
Parson Peterkin because that isn't his
name occasionally hands US things to
print which have good deal Of sense
In them. Here is his latest: Don't
go about railing at q man for being
stuck up when you can give no other
reason for the opinion than that he .
