SHXsirrs saia more folly recorded by pen and printing-press than ever before was that of any people; and oar historical eociety is very fully gathering in and placing accessibly on its shelves the record as thus being made up. The published statistics of the libraries of the country show that the library of the Kansas historical society is the largest historical library west of the Mississippi river, and the largest but one west of the Alleghany mountains. When it fs considered that this library is not composed of evanescent books of the literature of the day, written and printed for the amusement of the hour, but that it A BAJTX SWINDLE. The farmers in the vicinity of the Locke school house, twelve miles southwest, near Corbin, are considerably worked up ever a land trade consummated in the neighborhood about two months ago, particulars of which have just come'to light, and which has left penniless an old and highly-respected ed farmer who was pretty well fixed in this world's goods. The entire neighborhood is roused np, and should certain parties who took part in the swindle ever return a small dose of White Cap medicine will undoubtedly be administered.

The story, as told us today by a resident of the neighborhood, ruDS as follows: Some months ago two men arrived in the vicinity, traveling under the names of Bolly and Annis, and announced themselves as preachers of the gospel of the sect of "True Followers." They opened up in the Locke school house, and soon converted to their faith a number of residents of the vicinity. Among them were Joe Rogers and Bob Thompson, ordinarily well-to-do farmers, who at once made themselves prominent in the meetings, and Henry Gruben, a man sixty-five years old, in poor health and with a blind wife to care for. Gruben is a man of but limited education, a hard worker and a person who invariably attends to his own business. In his slow-going methods he had prospered, free of incumbrance, a well-cultivated farm of eighty acres, with good house, barn, sheds, and well stocked with cattle, horses and hogs. Having almost completed man's allotted three score years and ten, Mr.

Giuben was preparing to rest the remainder of his days. Bolly preached the idea to his Agnes He praised your tresses in his rhyme, Your shining hair, your golden hair; He sang that sunshine lingered there, The sunshine of the summer-time; He told you love had hid a lair, In tangles of your shining hair. Louise "Yes, Agnes, I have caught a beau With these blond tresses fair; Because I cleanse them oft, you know, 1 With Ivory Soap, as pure as snow, The soap without compare." A WORD OF WARNING.

The resolution of the gentleman from Butler concerning the alleged teaching of British doctrines and the use of British titles at the state uniyersity reminds us of the discriminating indignation of a Kansas statesman towards two friends tor holding certain views one was all right because he knew better, but the other blanked fool actually believed it. Whether the geatleman from Butler knows better and is therefore privileged to act the fool, or actually believes all the British howl of the late campaign, we, of coarse, do not know. But this question has been settled in Kansas, and a greater than Professor Canfleld driven to greater fame and a wider field of usefulness than Kansas afforded. Judge James Humphrey's paper before the late meeting the state historical society, in its reference to old Tom Reynolds' court out in central Kansas in terri torial days, turned the story tellers in the direction of reminiscences of the courts and law practice of the days of the early settlers. It bo remem bered that Gen.

W. T. Sherman resigned a lieutenancy in the army and settled in Ksnsas. He entered the law business as a partner with Tom Ewing and one of the McCooks at Leaven worth. A man in Calhoun county (now Jackson) was in trouble and his case was brought before a pro-slavery judge at Calhoun, opposite Topeka.

General Sherman aDDeared with an armful of books, quoting from various statutes and the common law of England, clear ly showing that the law was on the side of his client. A long-haired, un combed and unwashed bull whacker, who cannot be described, but whose class will be remembered by all who had even a glimpse of the Missourians who overran Kansas in those days, arose, and, with the greatest indignation, proceeded to rebuke and expose the imposition Sherman had praticed noon the court. "This man," he said, "has read law having no application in this territory whatever, and as for the law of England, why, we have whipped Eneland twice to get rid of her laws. And, then, may it please the honorable court, he has added insult to miury by quoting the common law of England, when everybody agrees that if we want any of her laws at all we want hor best." The court decided against Sherman and he picked up his books and left the territory. We are glad to see some one even at this late day take up the bullwhacker's resentment of English ideas, names and practices in Kansas.

A Scrap of Paper Saves her Life, It was just an ordinary scrap of wrapping paper, but it saved her life.

She was in the last stages of consumption, told by physicians that she was incurable and could live only a short time; she weighed less than seventy pounds. On a piece of wrapping paper she read of Dr. King's New Discovery, and got a sample bottle; it helped her, she bought a bottle, it helped her more, bought another and grew better fast, continued its use and is now strong, healthy, rosy, plump, weighing 140 pounds.

But Bolly was not so heavenly-minded as he would have folks believe. Gru-ben's farm took his fancy.

Taking Thompson into his confidence a scheme was hatched up, and by playing well their part they got the old man dissatisfied with his home. Then with celerity Bolly offered bim an advantageous trade. He would give him one hundred and seventy acres in Arkansas for his farm, stocked just as it was. Blinded by the religious cloak under which the scondrel was working, Gruben accepted the offer, the trade was made, and he and his wife started for their purchase. On arriving at the place it was found that the land was under water.

In fact he had traded hi3 complete and comfortable farm for a trifle over a quarter section of the bottom of a swamp. Gruben came back as far as Iola. Allen county, where his money ran out. From that place he acquainted his friends here with the trick that had been played on him. Meanwhile Rogers, now a devout "True Follower," has been put in possession of the land, and Bolly and Annis have gone to other fields seeking other victims.

It is now learned that these men were refused every pulpit in Arkansas City on Grounds of their very unchristian preaching. That they are scoundrels is evident, and should they ever again visit Corbin's vicinity they will hear from the natives. It is probable that an attempt will be made to oust the man now in possession of Gruben's farm and replace him on it. --Wellington Standard. STATE HISTOEIOAL SOCIETY.
