Major Snow, of Neosho Falls, was in town last Wednesday. This week is the first that strawber ries h.ivc'been oflered in our market. Mr. B. Dickerson, of Carlyle, start ed to Ohio last Wednesday on a visit. The organization of Good Templars in this place is gradually increasing in numbers. It is said to be nice this warm weather la have your head sand-papered. Try it. Farmers who have no cattle to fat ten on the prairies this season are losing money. The Tola baseball club came out ahead in the game at Humboldt last Thursday. The Iola and Humboldt base ball clubs play another match game next Monday, at Iola, As yet we bave heard of nothing being done towards getig up a Fourth oT July eekbratjon. On and after next Monday a penal ty often per cent will be 344ei to your taxes. Pay up to-day, There will be a Fourth of July Sun day School celebration at Eluabethtown Saturday, the third of July. Attorney Bartlett has been attend ing the District Court at Defiance, Woodson county, this week. Moflatt & Stevenson are getting quite a collection of bugs, snakes, horn ed toads, lizards, tarantulas, etc. "Old Reliable" of the Eureka has had a close shingle, and he now combs his head with the palm of his hand. Our District Clerk. C. M. Simpson, was in attendance at Court at Defiance, Woodson county, two days this week. Persons who growl the most at the hot weather are usually those who made the most fuss about the cold weather last winter. House flies have apparently been waiting the departure of the grasshop pers before they put in an tppearance, but you may look out for them now. Mr TVInnlain left US a bunch of flax one day this week which measures three feet and two inches, and he thinks he could furnish a still better sample. Three mad dogs were killed in Leavenworth last Friday. Would it not be well to kill a lot of the worthless curs around Iola and thus prevent them from going mad? Business has been pretty good with the County Treasurer this week, but there is still quite a large amount of taxes unpaid to which will be added an additional fire per cent penalty on tha 20th inst. We see it stated that in some of the towns in "the State sportsmen are form ing organizations to prevent the killing of prairie chickens-before the expiration of.tho game law. A sensible move. Beets, turnips, all kinds of sarden now. Thanks to the grasshoppers tor not visiting our farmers out on the prairie. We have been requested to inquire as to the best time and manner of plant ine navy beans. Any one having had experience in growing these beans will please report The "first nine" dined in the Neal House while at Humboldt last Thurs day. Perhaps the square meal that was given them had something to do with their good playing. Fred. Moflatt returned from his trip to Chicago last Friday. Ho now has for sale a patent spring for wagon seats and wagon boxes which is ahead of anything in that lino yet invented. The July number of Harper's Maga zine has been received. It is neatly printed, beautifully illustrated, and con tains a large amount of interesting and instructive reading matter. Quite a number of persons attended the examination at the close of our pub lic schools this week; but there is a great apparrent lack of interest on the part ot parents in the education oi meir children. The residence of Mr. Reaves, five miles north-east of Eliabethtown, ras .i-afmwvi hv fim last Monday, ine house was a new one, not entirely nnisn ed. Most of his furniture was burned. No insurance. Mrs. Noble's house, near Geneva, was burned on the 10th inst. Mrs. Lee also lived in the house. The fire is sup- nosed to have caught irom a flue. Mrs. N. was not at home at the time and most of her household goods were lost. At the meeting at the court house last Saturday there was not enough milk promised to justify Mr. Garrison in put ting upa cheese factory here, but he holds binj-wlf ready tdflo so at any time he can get milk enough to insure success. " "-l-Mr. A. H. Evan?7wife and two daughters, late of Delphi, Ind., who had been visiting his lather and otner rela tives in this county during the past two weeks, started last Tuesday for Colorado Springs where they expect to make their home. Dr. Tozer returned the first of the week from his tour through Lynn and Bourbon counties. He will be at home next week, and if you have teeth that need to be plugged or pulled out, call on him. The doctor reports the crops as looking well. The Probate Judge has issued sev eral marriage licenses this week. Peo ple continue to marry and to be given in marriage regardless of the prospect for crops, but as the grasshoppers take their departure the number of marriages are ereatly on the increase. The Presbyterian Social was held at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. E. N. Yates last Tuesday evening. There was agood attendance, and the new minister and his wife made the acquaintance of quite a number of the members of the church and congregation. Tax payers Bhould remember that when the County Commissioners meet next month they will sit as a Board of Equalization, to equalize the taxation of property in this county. It you are not satisfied with your assessment then is the time to make it known. All sidewalks which have been or dered by the city council during the past two years, and which have not been made, are to be put down at once. Per sons ownine lots along which said walks hnvp. lwen ordered, please take note of this. If they desire to build the walks themselves they must da so at once. Mr, Editor: In your last issue you speak of organizing a chess club for the purpose of challenging for a match game. 1 would suggest the propriety oi making tfw challenge now and organize a club after, if any one is presumptive enough to accept. I will see to it that there is sonjebody to play the game. Ak Amateur. The people of Geneva am vicinity have determined to have a picnic for the Sunday Schools in the grove on Martin creek, near Mr. A, W. -lowland's, on Friday, July 2nd. All who desire to enjoy good music and speeches, and a social time are earnestly invited to come. H. E. VanDemav, Member of Committee. Farmers who have extra good oats, wheat, flax, milUt, etc., should compete for the fifty dollar premium oflered by the State Board of Centennial Managers for the best display of grains and grasses. It would be quite an honor to Allen county to furnish the specimens of grain and grasses from this State for the cen tennial. Read particulars in ap article on the fourth page. The Cottage Grove Sunday 'School, four miles south of ..Humboldt, have ar ranged for a 4th of July pic nic on the 2d, to be held in the grove on Capt S. J. Stewart's farm. They invite the Sunday Schools of the county to celebrate with them. They are making ample prepara tions : and expect to secure reduced fare on the railroad, tranis to stop opposite the grounds. The Iola public schools closed yes terday. It is seldom the good fortune of any community to have their schools conducted in such a satisfactory manner as ours have been during the past year by Prof. Henderson and his assistants. We believe that it is the universal desire of our people that Prof. Henderson will consent to take charge of our schools for another year. At the election this fall there are quite a number of offices to fill : Repre sentative, Sheriff, Treasurer, Register ot Deeds, County Clerk, Coroner, Surveyor, Commissioner, Township Treasurer, Township Clerk, Road Overseer, and in some townships Justices and Constables. We suggest that it wonld be a good idea for persons wanting any of the above offices to take the lead and have their names announced in The Register. So far as we can learn the farmers have, in nearly every instance where their crops have been destroyed, replant ed the same. If any of them should have ground they are not going to plant in corn we would recommend to their consideration an article on the fourth page in reference to the culture of buck wheat. This crop can be made almost as profitable as wheat, and it does not need to be sown before the last of next month. Johnny Gilmore, of theWilson Coun ty Citizen, puts it thus: "When a girl crops her front hair, and pulls it down over her forehead like a Mexican mus tang, and then tics a piece of red velvet aroundher neck, who can wonder at the number of pale-faced young men that throw away their ambition and paa sleepless nights in trying to raise down on their upper lips." John is unmarried, and of course is competent to testify in this case. For two or three wrfca we had hop ed to be able to make the announcement (and tell the truth) that the grasshop pers had all left us, but heretofore we have been unable to do so. Last week vat multitudes flew auy, and during the first of this week tj,f have all dia- appeared, so far as we can learn, throug- out the county. At least the exceptions are so few that no further damage from them can be expected. Corn auilgarden vegetables that have been replanted are coming on again nicely, and if the sea son continues favorable will give an abundant yield. Webb Bostwick informs us that among his potatoes he lias some that the seed was shipped in from Iowa, and among these there is a bug hatching out that i death on potato vines. As none of these bugs have made their appear ance among the potatoes that are grown from home seed, he is of the opinion that their eegs were in the dirt among the potatoes that came from Iowa. As there was a car-load of these potatoes sold here at Iola it would be well for persons who planted of them to watch and kill these bugs as they hatch out. If not killed off by another year they may be numer ous enough to destroy the potato crop. The bug is of a species never before seen in this part of the country. and order drawn oh Treasurer for the amount out of general fund. The followingaecounts were referred to Finance Committee: All Richardson, M.GiIson, James Simpson, Hartman & Casmire, Isaac Welsh, James McDonald, deceased, H. A. Perkins, E. P. Minor and Jno. Francis & Co. The reports of the city officers, Joha Francis treasurer, James Simpson street commissioner, W. J. Sajpclerk," were received and ordered placed on file. Oa motion the street commissioner was instructed to notify the parties own ing lots fronting on east side block fifty nine to build their walks, in accordance with the ordinance, inside of thirty days. Also lot one in block seventy-seven. On motion the street commissioner was instructed to cut off four feet of the side walk on north side of lots two and three in block seventy-eight, to be disposed of by committee on streets and alleys.

Time was called by the Umpire at 3:25 n. m.. Humboldt boys at the bat On account of several appeals from the de cisions of the Umpire the game was pro tracted till 0:45. The game should have been nlaved in one-half the time. But one double play was made during the game a fly ball taken and thrown to first base by D. Collins, thereby putting two out. On a forced run with Davis at the bat, a splendid bat brought the three base runners in and left the batter on third base. Other good plays were made upon both sides but lack of' room pre cludes general notice. The second game of the scries will be played on the grounds of the Iola Club next week probably on Monday.
