A Pauper Who Owned johannesburg.
Westminster Gazette.

Few people are aware of the fact that
the site of johannesburg and large tract
of the surrounding land was once bought for
$780, But such was the case, and the pur-
chaser now lies a confirmed invalid in the
workhouse infirmary at Guiidford. The old
man seems to have had most remarkable
career, having been in the service of the
old East India Company, fought in the
Crimea, being seriously wounded at the
siege of Sebastopol and afterward passed
through the Indian mutiny. He then went
to South Africa, where he fought against
the Zulus and the Beers. Before the Trans
vaal was made over to the Beers he pur-
chased for ESQ some 1900 acres OF land
near the source of the Crocodile. better
known as the L!mpopo, where he made up
his mind ultimately to settle. But war
broke out, and he took up arms against
the Beers, and formed one of the party
which held Pretoria. In 1850, when the
republic was declared, he refused TO ac-
cept service under President Kruger, the
result being that his land, now estimated
TO be worth many millions sterling, was
forfeited

ONE YEARS PRODUCT.

We gave Mr.. H. NJ. Miller q copy OF
the State Agricultural report for
1884, a few days ago, and our reward
Is the following statement which Mr..
Miller has compiled with much care
and labor, showing the product OF
Allen county for the year 1894:
Wheat-219 cars of 20 tons each, OF
II trains of Is cars each.
Corn, 63S cars of 20 tons each, OF
257 trains of Is cars each.
Oats-936 cars of 20 tons each, or Sc
trains of Is cars each.
All Other Kinds of Grains-3,05
cars of 20 tons each, or 10 trains OF
Is cars each.
All Other Farm Products 46 cars
of 20 tons burden, or 223 trains of Is
cars each.
Total for the Year-12,910 cars, or
lis trains, making a continuous line
of cars 103 miles in length, requiring
a force of 1876 men to man the trains
or one-quarter of the entire population
of the county. 1t would require sc, 400
wagons, 132, 800 horses and $1,000 men
to haul it to the cars. 1t would take
of men the population of nearly seven
counties as large as Allen county.
On the English plan of keeping all
soft snaps in the family "don'tcher
know" it would give one family con-
tinuous employment for 2l3 years
working II hours per day, during this
period this family would use p gener-
atoms of horses, 40 sets of No. l oak
tan harness, 90 wagons, 525 scoop
shoveIs, 1915 boxes of axle grease, and
when fifteen years of the life of the
seventh generation had passed the
task would be completed, if the habit
of the ordinary teamster was theirs
the services of the list Chaplain
would also be at an end.
If an equal distribution was made
of this years product the share OF
every man, women and child in Allen
county would be as follows: 6 bushels
of wheat, 125 bushels of corn, 40 bush
els of oats, ] bushels of rye, 1.12 BUSH
els of barley, 81 bushels of Irish pota-
toes, {! bushels of sweet potatoes, 81
bushels of flax seed, quart of castor
beans, S1.00 worth of sorghum, $3.50
worth of broom corn, $1,000 worth of
hay, S4.25 worth of eggs, S4.00 worth
of wool, $500 worth of garden truck,
25t pounds of butter, II pOunds of
cheese.

ALLEN COUNTY Is THERE.

Thanks to the liberality of Moran,
Humboldt and lola business men,
Allen is one of the 40 Kansas counties
represented in the great Mckinley
Boom Corn Train" that started from
Wichita last Monday. There were
notable ceremonies at Wichita on the
day it started; great meeting, ad-
dressed by Ingalls,, Burton, Sutton
and no end of ''citizens on foot" The
train is deliberately decorated and
will travel only in the day time, max
ing long stops at all the large towns
so that the citizens of the region may
have an opportunity to see in pictures
and hear in hOnied speech something
of the greatness and glory of Kansas.
At the solicitation of those having the
matter in charge here, Mr.. c. H. De-
Clute, our public spirited clothicr,
accompanied the train, paying his
own expenses and giving his time
''for the good of the order" as the
special representative and agent OF
Allen county. He took with him
1900 SPACE folders, printed at the
REGISTER Office, to keep him talking
for this particular part of the vine
yard. The train will be run through
to New York, and will be the biggest
advertisement Kansas has had for a
long time.

Nearly all the foregoing figures are
approximations and not exact facts,
particularly those relating to agri-
cultural statistics. A great many
farmers object to the collection of
these statistics, and refIse to answer
the questions. So that about the only
certain thing about them is that they
are under rather than over the truth.
There are some things in the pOpu-
lation figures that are hard to under
stand. Is it likely, for instance, that
Marmaton township has lost $50 peo-
pie during the past year? However
that may be, we venture the predic-
ton that next year Allen county, for
the fret time in its history, will pass
the Is, 900 mark. And we venture the
prediction farther that lola will pass
the 1000 mark. The year of our Lord
1886 is going to be a great year for
lola and Allen county. Remember

Women get plenty of sympathy after they
are dead. Tom Hood made a very pathetic
picture in his Bridge of Signs" but the
probabilities are that the wcG1an needed
sympathy a great deal more tore she died
than she did afterwards. Thousands of wo-
men are enduring much worse things tbs n
death. The most distressing tking about it
all is that It is needless.
Uterine troubles are considered well-nigh
incurable. Women seem to think thai they
must go on bearing these things forever. To
be sure, some of them make an effort to get
well by going to their physicians, but thou
sands are deferred from this, both because
they have seen that II was not likely to do
much good. and because they knew that the
first thing the physician would insist upon
would be the examinations and local treat
rnent so Justly abhorrent to every modest
woman. These things are generally as TN
necessary as they are distssteful. Every
woman can be made strong and healthy by
the use of Or Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton. It is most marvellous medicine for
all forms of female weakness and disease.
It is a wonderful purifier and cleanser. It
acts directly on one set of organs, and on no
other, but in doing this, II frequently cures
troubles that were seemingly of an entirely
different character and origin. A disorder
of the distinctly feminine organs is likely to
cause all sorts of symptoms, and careless
doctors frequently doctor women for neural
gia, or dyspepsia, or insomnia, when the real
trouble is in the organs distinctly feminine
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription will make
any woman we'll. Sometimes when disease
has run on SO long that the entire system is
debilitated. it is necessary to use in connec-
ton with the Prescription" DR.. Pierce
Golden Medical Discovery, general tonic,
blood purifier, and blood maker without an
equal in the world There is no case so
severe that these two great medicines will
not cure it Thousands of women have
frequently testified to this fact.
