The Iola register., 1891-05-22

the week and organized a lodge of that
order among the farmers south of
town. This National Alliance is the
Northern Alliance of which the REG
IsTER has heretofore spoken, and is
entirely distinct from the Farmers
Alliance and Industrial Union, or
Southern Alliance The National AL
lance was organized in the North and
has Northern officers and Northern
principles. 1t doesn't believe in the
sub-treasury lunacy nor in Govern
ment ownership of railroads nor i'm
Peffer's fool "Way Out" and it does
MT believe i'm organizing a strictly
class party. 1t Is an agricultural or
der, pure and simple, and is not parti-
zan i'm any sense of the word. The Or
ganization is very simple and inexpen-
sive, ladies are admitted, and the
meetings may be held with closed
doors or openly just as each subordi-
nate lodge may decide for itself. The
REGISTER believes that the National
Alliance will be found to meet the
wants of those farmers who would like
to belong to farmers organization
but do not want to place themselves
i'm the way of endless political wrang-
les. The Southern Alliance i'm Allen
county has practically proven u fail
ure. Only sixteen sub-alliances have
been organized and but ten of them
we're wide awake enough to send dele
gates to the last county assembly.
Why not abandon it, and take up the
National Alliance, all order that is
more congenial to the free soil of Kan
sas aud i'm which Republicans and
Democrats, People and Prohibitionists,
can meet on common ground and
work together to further their mutual
interests, without danger from politi-
cal bickeringeand dissentions? Rob-
ert Cook has been appointed organizer
for this county and will probably be-
gin work as soon as his assessment is
completed.
Two of Allen county's young law
students went out into the country last
week to defend a client in law suit
before a justice of the peace. In sum-
ming up their case one of them opened
a copy of the Kansas Reports and
commenced to read from decision of
the Supreme Court. The justice
promptly decided that the Kansas Re-
ports "aint law in this court" The
two young lawyers came back to lola
and upbraided Capt. Ewing for faulty
teaching, and to get out of it he told
them a story of case in Illinois when
the lawyer for the plaintiff'quoted from
a volume of the Illinois reports. The
attorney for the defnse objected to the
reading from only one of the books be-
cause he said there were as many as
thirty-six of them i'm print-"and, be-
sides, )" he said "these reports were
the work of clock peddler, away
back in the 1905" who went from
house to house to house and wherever
he could hear anything that was dam
aging to the character of anyone he
would put it in the book, just
as they did about your daughter Sal
last week your honor" "That's lie"
said the Judge, land so are these Illi-
nois Reports" said the attorney. The
objection was sustained.
Has "Our Nels." struck his bonan-
"a at last? We hope he has and the
following paragraph from last SUM-
days X. G. Journal would seem to
point i'm that directions:
The all absorbing interest in this city in min
ing circles is just now confined to the very for
tunate consumation of few quiet deals,
brought about by the use of snug sum of mon
ey on the part Of some shrewd Kansas City cap
italists, which gives them the controlling in the
Gunsight mine, of Arizona. Second only in i'm
pOrtance to the famous Granite Mountain mine,
which has made milliOnaires out of dozen or
more St Louis mining investors, this property
has now become Kansas City institution, and
reorganization of Its officers and directors is
to be affected as soon as possible. The Gun
sight is the property which has been flshed for
by Kansas City parties for the past two years
and has been the cause of the existence of sew
eral local companies which have sent out skilled
mine inspectors TO examine the property. In
every instance the reports brought back have
been highly satisfactory, but the freezing out
process being slow, tine old stockholders have
held out until a short time ago, when COM
pany was formed with Nelson I. Acers at its
head, and in short order the deal was made.
Among the laws passed by the late
legislature was one providing for reg
ular terms of the probate Court, the
term to commence the first Monday in
each month and continue as long as
there is business before it. The act
provides that all settlements of execu-
tors. administrators and guardians
shall be made in open Court, in term
time; also that all matters relating to
the sale of real estate by executors, ad-
ministrators, or guardians shall be
made i'm term time. In case of neces-
sity, all other things the court is au-
thoriZed to do, may be done in vaca-
ton. This is an important law, and
all persons having business in the pro-
bate Court should attend it the first of
every month. The law takes effect
when published in the statute book,
which will be sometime next month.
An agent for Geo. w. Crane & Co.
was in town last week and tried to
persuade Supt. Barber to order set
of the books required by school officers
under the new law, for each district in
the county. The Superintendent has
authority under the law to make such
purchase and draw the money from
the funds in the county treasury, hav-
ing it charged up to the respective
districts. But Mr.. Barber told the
agent that the districts were supply
ing themselves with books printed
right here at home that were just as
good as the ones he offered and good
deal cheaper, and showed him the
voucher and warrant book printed at
the REGISTER Office. The agent said
"Why that's new scheme isn't it?'
and begged sample page to send to
his house.
Cedar Yale Star: Lewis Buckley
has eight acres of barley that the
chinch bugs are trying to rob him of
and he is trying Prof. SHOWS remedy
on them. A package of infected bugs
came by mail to him Wednesday and
they are getting in their work by this
time. NJ. f. Mattocks, near Wauneta,
who had experience with Prof. Shows
infected bugs last year, and saved
dead ones from his field for use this |
year, has had to use them and find
they do the work.
