late Legislature was one providing

every way IA good a. the old plan.

1t must be confessed that the new
street lamps are very much of disa-
pointment. They seem to furnish a
good light when they are in proper
condition, but there Is rarely more
than one of them in proper condition
at any time. The matter will doubt
less he investigated by the council at
an early date, as the discomfort is
finding considerable emphatic express
sion.
Mr.. George RuxtOn was down from
Wise neighborhood Tuesday and call
ed TO pay the printer. Having raised
so bushels of corn and 10 bushels of
fax to the acre last summer, and hav-
ing sold the latter for $50 a bushel
and fed the former to hogs and cattle
for which he expects to get $500
hundred, Mr.. RuxtOn thinks he will
manage somehow to worry through
the summer.
Rev. 4. Barber, the father of Supt.
Barber and well known i'm All II coun-
ty, has bought half interest in the
Colony Free Press and will hereafter
..ssist in the editorial work of that pa
per. The Free Press has steadily i'm
proved ever since Mr.. Tathwell took
hold of it, and it will doubtless be
made even better by the accession of
Mr.. Barber. The new firm has our
very best wishes.
One of the cases settled at the last
torn of court was that of a young man
who had been arrested for not paying
or working out his poll tax. We do
not know the facts in the case, but the
Court adjudged him guilty and requir-
ed him TO pay fine of $500 and the
costs, the whole amounting to Sl50,-I
twice as much a. the sum of all the
poll tax he would be required TO pay
in his whole life.
The Cheyenne and ArrapahOe, To-
wa, Sac and Fox and Pottawatomie

year. \ large, correct, colored sec |
tiOnal map of these lands, together |
with complete descriptions, showing |
most fertile spots, all about the laws,

There was Man in this office yes
terday who said that there is place |
in town where a man with a properly
regulated wink can pay So cents for a
cigar and have a red bottle done up in
a paper bag thrown in. The Man al
so gave the names of two or three per-
sons who ar engaged. so he says, in
the bOOtlegging business, aud who are
selling liquor to half grown boys a.
we'll az to old men. We report what
the Man said in the hope that the par
ties referred to may take warning and
flee from the wrath that is sure to come
if they persist in their nefariOus busi-
ness.
Two weeks ago Mr.. 1. Port put
two-line notice in our free "FOr Sale
o. Trade" column stating that he had
several head of calves for sale. BY the
night following the appear
ance ofthe advertisement all the calves
had been sold. The notice not only
helped him to dispose of his stock but
helped others to find the stock they
scriber to the REGISTER he would
probably have spent a good deal of
time and money hunting for purchas-
scribers to the REGISTER they would
probably have spent a good deal of
time and money hunting for calves.
The moral of this true story is that it
saves time and dollars to be a subscrib
er to the REGISTER.
We learn that the citizens of Cottage
Grove township are petitioning the
southern Kansas for q flag station
near the stone school house, about
half way between Humboldt and Cha

cause the township bonded itself to
help build the road. And it would
