The probate judgs-eleCt OF Cowley
county, D. D Parry, recently died. As
the present incumbsnt's term expires at
the same hour Governor Lswslling's
does, the lawyers are trying to agree 80
to who shall fill the vacancy. Either
Governor Lswelling or Governor Morrill,

CsesOr is elected and qualified.
Two carloads of provisions FOR the des.

Governor Lswelling has written for
the North American Review an article
entitled, Problems bsfOre the Western
Farmer" )" in which he presents the diff
oulties under which that class Of people
are lsboring. Although there is nothing
new or startling about the article it has
called forth severe criticism from some
OF ::the machine edited journals Of the
cou ntFY. The burden Of the criticism 10
that the farmer should quit expecting
favorable leRlslstion, quit complaining
OF the poor markets, and while prRotir-
ing more rigid economy, try to raise
more produce.

cheap sort had been put out, and about
every man who is at all well known re-
