The letter was written from LaHarpe and took this the oHicials of Lallarpe and the phyicains here to task for their conduct in certain matters. Now, what the article had to say about the officers and doctors is not true.

There is" smallpox here of that mild inoffensive sort, but the officers and doctors have done all in their power to control it. AH houses, wherein there is smallpox, have been quarantined and other precautions taken to prevent the spreading of the "dreaded disease." The News has been "mum" on the subject because of the mild form of the disease and because the persons having it arc far from the business part of town for these reason wethought it best to cut that news out. We expect that the News can mime as many things that it iias done for the "physical" and interests" of La-llarpo as "Subscriber" can.

From the Iola Daily Register. It is a little bit strange sometimes how things happen. A good many years ago, se ven or eight perhaps, some poems appeared in a weekly paper in the southeast corner of the state signed "Vol-tairinoDe Cleyre." They were of such striking originality and pow John J. Ingalis once described a Kansas storm af follows: "Birds and insects disappear, and cattle abruptly stand agaze.
