Concerning Capt. FIesher.

Some weeks ago the REGISTER
made mention of the death of Capt.
Flesher, late of the 9Th Kansas. The
item was clipped from an exchange
and we had, of course, no means of
knowing whether or not it was strict
ly true. We are glad therefore to be
able to-publish the following letter,
which will be read with satisfaction
doubtless by many of Capt. Flesher's
old Kansas friends:
COMPTON, CAL. FEB. 20, 1892.
MIR. Editor. Dear Sir: i was in
formed by Mr.. Cyrus Simpson yester-
day that there appeared in an lola
paper some time ago an account OF the
death of Capt. Henry Flesher late of
the Ninth Kansas and statement
also that he died a drunken pauper.
Now in justice to one whom my chill
dren loved so well, one in fact that
every one who knew him respected
and loved, ] protest against such re-
port reaching his old friends at lola,
for it is certainly not true. He has
visited me several times while he re-
sided in Arizona and have known him
since 1861 and never yet saw him
drunk but hewas man and gentle
man at all times and in every cendi-
ton. He stayed at my home in CAL
ifornia when making his visits here
seven months in all and don't recOl-
lect seeing him drink one drop of
spirits the whole time. He left here
about the 26th of last April with four
good horses, wagon and travelling out
lit. He had just sold mine in Ari-
IONA for $500 a short time before and
had considerable money with him
when he left. He also left an interest
in a mine in Arizona, had been offered
$1,000 for il. Seems that q Mormon
owned a part OF the mine and refused
to sell and Captain left there it seems
rather Disguised though he expected
to return some time. The last letter
l received from him was dated Grants
Pass, Josephine Co. Oregon, Jan. 4,
1892. He was then detained by snow
and expected to remain there all win
ter and then to prospect on his way
back.
Please state in your paper for me
that no old cOmrade or friend of Capt.
Henry Flesher need be ashamed of
him in his last days for he was the
same big-hearted, honorable, whole
souled man that he was thirty years
ago at lola and one whose good deeds
will out live all the slurs that can or
will be heaped upon him by one of on
ly passing acquaintance, for slur
will never come from one who had the
pleasure of his acquaintance. / re-
main, JOHN HAIZLIP.
Compton, Cal.

Lizard green is new shade and in
velvet is extremely rich.
Ice blue has, as its name suggests,
merely the faintest tinge Of that color.
Real gems of the less expensive sort

Arfavorite combination of celors in
Partisan millinery is pale yellow,
mauve and light shade of green.
Short mantles reaching to the knees
of cloth in the most delicate shades and
with the most exquisite Innings are
fashionable for evening wear.
Skirts remain very close around the
hips and are fitted by three darts on
either side. They are fuller around the
bottom than in the beginning of the
season.
Areturn to flowing curls and elaborate
coifures is predicted by Partisan hair
dressers. This is surely an instance in
which "the wish is father to the
thought"
Poplin, beautiful fabric, which Of
late years has not met with the favor II

having the warp and wool of diff
fexent colors.

THE POSTAL LAWS RESPECTING NEWS
PAPERS

THE POSTAL LAWS RESPECTING NEWS
PAPERS
Plainield On ~. News.
About two years ago Messrs. George
p. Rowell q Co., of New York, the
publishers of Rowell's Newspaper
Directory, and several other publicat-
ions of great value to concerns wish
ing to do business with the news
papers. started very unique weekly,
both in formQ2 mo- and name Print
ers' Ink.
1t was new idea all through, and
like new ideas generally, required
large capital, much experience and
utmost push to make it go. The pub
fishers had to educate people and make
market for the publication. TO what
extent they succeeded may be Judged
by the fact that its editions now exceed
e0,OO0, and the business probably 500,
600 per year. We doubt if any publ
cation published once a week is read
with more avidity. In fact we have
seen il i'm many instances carefully
preserved just as monthly magazines
are preserved, so highly is it valued.
Now, after allowing the publishers
to proceed on these lines for several
years, the Post-Office Department
rules that the journal is not legiti-
mate newspaper and cannot be admit
ed to second-class rates, but as third
class matter.
The postage 0n the issue of January
18th, amounted at third-class rates to
sos, besides the labor of attaching so,
500 stamps to that number of papers.
Atsecond-class rates the proper charge
for postage would be $69.72, making a
difference in cost of mailing this one is
sue of S733.24 In other words about
SS.627 a year at second-class matter, a
gainst S51 $50 as third-class. In the
meantime Rowell d Co. are paying this
enOrmus sum und.r protest, until the
Department can further consider the
case.
Ofcourse it is outrageous that the
law is so ambiguous that the fost-Off-
ice authorities themselves can blund6r
i'm constituting it, as they do according
to the within of the person in charge of
the matter, and it ought to be changed
Immediately in Justice to those COM
PEELED to suffer by such ambiguity
If Printers Ink is not a newspaper,
then there is not weekly newspaper
in the country
We believe it is at present the best
read and most carefully preserved
journal in existence, and entitled to all
the privileges accorded any newspaper
by the Postal laws, and hope to see the
wrong done the publishers rigbted
without delay.
