The man Shueh who came in last
week from Norton county TO solicit
aid for the destitute settlers, made an
Alliance speech here on Saturday af-
ternoon and then skipped out, not
waiting to attend the citizens meet
ing which he had talled for Tuesday
evening. 1t looks little queer.

Allen county visitors to Topeka
bring back nothing but good words
for our representative, Mr.. Pearson.
He has had his hair and beard trim
med, wears a white shirt and collar
and suit of clothes that actually fits
him. He looks like the gentleman he
is and evidently commands the es-
TEEN and respect of his colleagues.
Union: The agricultural depart
msnt is supplying farmers of Kansas
with five-pound packages of Jerusalem
seed corn, free. Some of Allen coun.
ty's farmers should give it trial. 1t
is proof against drouth and makes ex-
celIent feed for horses, hogs, cattle
sheep. 1t supplies the place of
both mlllet and corn for feeding pur-
poses.
In accordance with the usual good
custom the city schools will celebrate
Kansas Day with all entertainment at
the Opera House this evening. The
exercises will be in the nature of a
contest between pupils of the Eighth
grade and of the High School and
will be bright and interesting. \
large number of seats have already
been sold and the hall will doubtless

promptly at I:45.
The continued interest excited by
Hart & Gillihan's new freezer GER
tainly "astonishes the natives" Ev-
cry day there are crowds of people to
see it, and every day and often until
late at night the proprietors are busy
makiug out deeds to territory. We
doubt if the spectacle was ever wit
messed before of men standing in line
awaiting thei- turn for a chance to
buy territory for patent right, but
that is exactly what has been wit

The joint installation of the officers
of the McCook Post and Camp which
took place at the q. \. T. hall last
Saturday night was one of the most
enjoyable things in a social way that
has taken place this winter. The
ladies of the Relief Corps were present
in generous numbers, and with gen.
erously filed baskets, and the result
was feast of all kinds of good things,
of which the good talk was by no
means the least. The three orders
just comfortably fill the hall aud con-

The ouly criticism we have to offer is
that they do not hold such joint meet
ings oftener than once year.
We are glad to learn that Capt.
Kelsey, although still confined to his
house, is much improved in health.
Mr.. y. w. Crawford, the Humboldt
nursery man, was in town last Satur-
day called up to make change in his
advertisement. Mr.. Crawford believes
in advertising the year around. He
says he sold one bill of trees to a man
who first saw the advertisement i'm
copy of the REGISTER which he found
in Washington. And he told of many
other sales the advertisement had
made for him, aggregating thousands
of trees. Mr.. Crawford says there is
n much greater demand for trees this
year than usual. This indicates two
things: That there is ~money in the
country, and that our farmers are be-
ginning to see how much good or
chard adds to the income and the sal
able value of a farm. There isn't D
farmer in Allen county who has been
