WITH a great deal of bOmbast and
windy bragadocio the Register, some
few months ago heralded abroad the
fact that Ex-Attroney General Kellogg
had appointed an assistant attorney
general for Barton county. This ap-
pointment, squeezed out of the retiring
atty. general during the last days Of his
misrule, was exceedingly gratifying to
Caraway, from the fact that it was sup
posed to be slap in the face of E. G.
Cole, then the county attorney of Bar
ton county who was just closing four
years. term of Office, but who had, by
refusing to he domineered over by the
boss of the republican 'party-the said
. Caraway-incurredt the bitter enmity OF
few of the ''stalwarts" who stood
nearest Kellogg. OF course Caraway
had to brag about his alleged victory,
and to tell about what wonderful things
the assistant attorney general would dc
for the prohibitOry law. But the sequel
does not indicate that there was much
food for satisfaction. The asst. atty
genl. commenced four cases in the
Justices court against parties charged
with violating the law; obtained con.
victiOns in but two of the four, which
two were appealed to the district court
. and were last week at the instance Oh
CardUay's assistant attorney general dis
missed in the district court. While thu
dismissal of the cases was probably the
most sensible thing for the attorney Il

One side is formed from the split of the tree, show ing its grain and natural fracture; the other shows the wood when worked smooth and yarnished. One end shows the grain as left by the saw, the other the ineiy-Polished wood Or opening the book it is found to contain the fruit, seeds. leaves and other products Of the tree. These arc supplemented by 6 syeil-priuted description of it's habits, usual location and manner ef growth. It fact, every thing which has a bearing upon that particular tree secures a place fn this wonderful, useful and yaEuabie collection.
