Fire at A. w. Beck's.

Thursday while A. w. Beck was
down town fixing up a Temporary
window to keep the rain from blowing
into the store where the glass had been
broken out, there was fire at his home
on East street. How it started none of
the family knows. They had all re-
tired and were awakened about IL
O'Clock by thick smoke which filled
the house. They rushed down stairs
and found the hall way on fire. The
window shade and curtain had burned
and the base board and large cush-
toned chair in the middle of the hall
were nearly burned. With pals OF
water the fire was quickly eXtinguished
The only plausible theory of the fire il
that loose match was found by
mouse and the fire resulted from it.

Save the Birds.

EDITOR REGISTER you please
publish through your paper that there
is law prohibiting the cruel
slaughter of birds, practice that is
being INDUCED in by the small boy
and his "nigger shooter to such an
extent that it is only a question of
time when there will scarcely be the
chirp of bird in our city. The boys
are not altogether to blame for this
cruel sport, but the parents equally
as much for allowing it to be done
without a word of disapproval at their
heartlessness. If it can be brought
to the notice of the parents and they
are held responsible for the offense
and few boys made examples of by
our city officers whose attention has
already been called to the fact, 1t vii
only be few days until the wounded
feelings of our youths-who vii
suffer much less than the wounded
birds-will turn their attention tC
some less cruel pastime. Unless steps
are taken at once countless tledgling
will die of starvation.

for an hour there was a dashing OF
wind followed by rain which sent the

An Assessment Knot.

Josh Butler was before the commits
sioners Monday with a knot to be UNI
tangled. In February he contracted
with Henry Gear, who acted as agent
for l.. A. Thrasher, for some $50
bushels of corn, which was to be
hauled by Butler at his leisure,
weighed on the Davis scales and then
paid for. Butler says that he hauled
one load in February and all the rest
later and finished the work and paid
for the corn in April. Now the ques-
ton was, whose corn was it on March
l. Gear had sold it but refused to ac-
cept pay until it was all delivered and
Butler says he didn't own 1t until 1t
had passed the scales. The board re-
ferred the question to the county at
torney and the corn will probably be
assessed to Thrasher. This is an
instance of the delights of being a
commissioner.

APPLE PROSPECTS.
Judge Wellhouse Expects Satisiac-
tory Crop.

TOPEKA, June 10-Judge Wellhouse,
whose apple orchards are the largest
in Kansas, looks for a good crop of
that fruit this year. He says the Ben
Davis trees are especially will, and
their yield will approximate the crop
of 1900. but other varieties are not
looking so well as the Ben Davis.
The crop of 1890 was phenomenal, and
nobody expects anything like it this
year. If the crop be so per cent of
that year, applegrowers will be con-
tented. In 1890 Judge Wellhouse OBJ
tanned his biggest yields in Miami
and Leavenworth counties. Those or
chards have now almost outlived their
usefulness and he expects his biggest
Weld from Usage county, where he
has 500 acres of trees that he planted
in 1890. 1892, 1893 and 1894 Another
applegrower who expects good yield
this year is George NJ. Munger, OF
Greenwood county, who has 10000
trees, mostly of recent growth. Mr.
Munger is trying the experiment o
growing apples on the uplands in
region that is treeless prairie eN
ccpt along the water courses. Hi
plans are finally to grow fruit by IN
rigation, but he has not turned tn
/ water on yet Last year he producer
300 bushels. This year the seaso
I has been so favorable that if the al
, pies stay on the trees until they ripe
he will have 1000 bushels, But if h
d gets half of that he will be satisfied.

DEAR REGIsTER:-Having been an
occasional contributor to the REGIS

a few lines occasionally would not be
amiss to the old subscribers at least.
On Decoration Day | was on the
famous battlefield of Gettysburg and
| could not help but notice the Won
derful changes that have taken place
since my last visit there seven years
ago. But that is the way with Uncle
sam: he never does anything by
halves. Miles upon miles OF avenues,
and grand observatories have been
put up and fine monuments from dill
ferent states whose honored dead are
buried there. The gathering was not
as large as usual on account of the
President being at Antietam that day.
But al it was it seemed large crowd
to me. Gent Sickles was there, and
an ex-Confederate delivered the ora
ton. He is a descendant of eX-Gover-
nor Wise of Virginia, that hung John
Brown. but now halls from New York.
1t was good to be there to hear him.
The next day | went to Frederick,
one of the oldest towns in Maryland,
the birthplace of Frances Scott Key,
the author of "The Star Spangled
Banner" The state has put up a
fine monument for him from which

SETTLING DIFFERENCES
Stanley and Johnson Bring Miners
and Employers Together

Topeka. June 1.-THE conference of
Governor Stanley and State Labor
Commissioner Lee Johnson with the
managers of the Big Four coal com
panies at Kansas City a few days ago
has shown good results already. a
telegram from Labor Commissioner
johnson, who is at Pittsburg, today,
announces that two of the Big Four
companies have settled their differ
ences with the miners. The other two
will likely follow suit.
The effort to make it appear that
the motive of Governor Stanley in
trying to get the operators and miners
together was for the purpose OF maxi
inc political capital for the campaign
has fallen fiat. The Governor had no
such intention. He and Labor Com
missioner Johnson took hold of the
matter because of their interest in the
welfare of the men and the business
interests of Kansas. Governor stan
lev and Commissioner Johnson do moi
belong to the same political party
and during the conference not wore
was mentioned as to the probable
effect the settlement of the strike would
have on politics.
