one third of the area at present.

densed from the several hundred

stances being cited to establish
this fact.
In the spring of 80 there were
$500 acres sown to spring wheat.
This acreage dwindled from year
to year, being $50 acres and less
in later year, none for 1901, and
Is acres for 1902.
In the earlier years rye figured
very prominent by the $4,000
acres then sown equaling 4 as
much as the wheat acreage in
the fall of 1882; 2377 acres were

During the early SOS hardly

another year. For 1901 none
was reported, for 1902 267

grasses as shown by figures re-

SUGGESTIONS FOR THAT BANQUET

1t is rumored by the Register

will hold a banquet some time
during October. AS the young

politics, we would make a few
suggestions as to appropriate
tOasts for the occasion.
For instances: "The Taking
Candidate, or Kellyized Honor
would be a good subject to draw
lessons from for the benefit OF
young voters. Such young re-
pub]icans as Levi Gum or n. E.

IT is amusing to note with
what regularity the Hutchinson

produce the sayings of Conner
Davis of the Concordia Kansan.
Amusing to all populists and
democrats who know that the
aforesaid Davis has always been
a republican, even when posing
as a populist editor. No one
who knows the man, and has
kept tab on his course, ever ex.

play traitor when the time came

that such an Investigation had been

The board OF aldermen yesterday
adopted a resolution urging Governor

OF the legislature Of Pennsylvania to

CODE BILL IN CONFERENCE.
Fight Likely Before Ohio Legislative
Conferees Reach Agreement.
Police Court Bill Middle.

Columbus, Oct 8.-After seven
weeks Of exacting work, the munich
pal codes passed oy the two branches
Of the general assembly are in the
committee of conference.
It is conceded in both houses that
the committee will report a bill pro-
viding for an elastic board system,
but there are many other points OF
difference which must be reconciled.
The house bill mas a state merit sys'
tenn and an arbitration feature, which
will not be given up without strug-
gle, and the men who fought to place
them in the house code are upon the
conference committee.
There will be no question Of police
courts for the committee to wrestle
with. The house, by disputed de-
Cision. passed the sections providing
Ior these courts yesterday afternoon,
but the senate defeated them by
strict party vote, and they are now
pending on a question Of reconsider
alton in the upper body. The sec
tons repeating vi the laws relating
to the police courts of the state are
in the codes before the conference
committee and are not subjects Of
dispute between the two houses. II
the police court bill fails to become
law and the code is passed, all the
police courts Of the state will be
wiped out and the administration Of
justice of municipalities will devolVe
upon justices Of the peace.

lery. He commanded this organi
zation with conspicuous gallantry at
Bull Run, where he received wound
in the head. Such q command was
hardly fitted for good service. The
different arms of the service were
separated, ''and each became the
progenitor of a famous body Of its
kind" It was corps elite. Of its
original members two became lieu
tenant generals-Hampton and Ste
phen D. Lee; one a major general,
Butler, and three brigadier generals
Conner, Gary and Logan. At tSeven
Pines Hampton was again wounded
in the foot, his troops distinguish
ing themselves. On July 28, 1852,
Hampton was made brigadier gen
eral Of cavalry and his command was
known as the Hampton Legion. 1t
was composed of South Carolinians,
North Carolinians and Virginisns
At its head Hampton rode in Stuart's
famous raid in August, 1852, round
Pope's flank and rear. He made
the Federal general date his cores
pondenee from Headquarters in the
Saddle" Gen. Hampton was al
ways successful in detached service.
His work was dashing in Maryland
and Pennsylvania campaigns of 1852
63, and full of incidents. The story
of Hampton's meeting with Col. Nc
Clure of Chambersburg is one of the
best of the campaign in that section.
At Gettysburg Gen. Hampton was
thrice wounded in the momentous
struggle. About half the men were
wounded in this battle. In June
1853 at Brandy Station Gen. Hamp-
toms younger brother, 1t. Col. Frank
Hampton, was killed. Gen. Butler
lost his leg here also.
son another part of the field"
says the historian, Seen. Hampton
was that day performing brilliant
service IN many a charge. Oae of
these, a mounted charge against a
Federal brigade was said to have
been the most hotly contested and
magnificent horse encounter of the
war, but Hampton's star lighted the
path and his saber- cleft the way to
victory. As the general dashed to
the head of his command to lead
them on this occasion his eyes snap
ping fire. as the men used to say,
he threw off his overcost to leave his
sword arm free and flung it to his
son, Preston, acting orderly, mere
boy, who was afterwards killed at

but to fight. At Gettysburg Gen.

Hampton was severely injured,
though after receiving this wound
he, in hand to hand conflict cleft the
skull of his adversary with his saber.
In August 1868 he was made
major general and then soon followed
the magnificent campaign of Nlr-
ginia, where Hampton won his fame
as a general. Hampton broke up
Federal plans with the move to Ire
Williams Station, and in % days cap,
tured 5000 prisoners and much war
material with loss of only 719 men.
In August 1864 Hampton was made
commander of Lees cavalry with the
rank of lieutenant general. In Sep
tember he struck the rear of the
Federal army at City Point and
| brought away 400 prisoners and
about $500 beeves.
1t is impossible here to tell of the
many brilliant battles conducted by
Gen. Hampton. The story would
fill volumes. He concluded his SER
! vice before the war ended by taking
charge of Johnson's cavalry and did
fine service in harrassing and retard-
ing Sherman's army.
Gen. Lees famous order commend
iug Gen. Hamptou's cavalry, issued
on Feb. %, 1868, concluded with
this paragraph:
"In announcing these achieve
ments, the commanding general takes
special pleasure in adverting to the
promptness of the officers in striking
! successful blow whenever the op-
portunity offered, and the endurance
and gallantry with which the men
have always supported their COM
manders. These deeds give as
surance of vigilance, activity and for
titude and of the performance ofstill
more brilliant actions in the coming
| campaign. r. E. Lee,
General"
Historian Wells in his volume re
| lating to Gen. Hampton gives a
striking instance of his personal bra
| very and mental acumen. He says;
''Early on the morning of March II,
1865, Johnson's army was crossing
the Cape Fear river at Fayetteville,
| North Carolina. The infantry, ar
tillery and wagon trains had nearly
affected crossing, while the cavalry
were across. Sherman's forces in
parallel columns were pressing up.
Gen. Hampton was near the hotel in
the town when one of his best scouts,
Hugh Scott by name, galloped up
and told him that the enemy were
close by in the parallel streets, a
company of them having come
through a byroad that had not been
| picketed, and that more we're behind
them. The situation was critical.
If the enemy succeeded in wedging
ing in between the retreating army
and it's cavalry, the rear guard, it
would entail disaster. The cavalry
