Some Local Strictures.

Editor People’s Pilot: Recent events make it pretty clear that Jasper county needs a “Civic Federation,” a “Good Citizens League” or some organized to enforce not, some single statue, but all the laws that are violated. The laws against gambling illegal sale of liquors, prostitution and the violation of the Sunday statute needs enforcement very badly. The gambling fraternity are running things just now. There are a number of pretty well dressed men in Rensselaer who “Toil not neither do they spin.” Yet we do not hear of their being prosecuted b.y their tailors nor their landlord. How many games of poker are run by them few people know. Who rents those rooms for the purpose. The “Bucket Shop” is another gambling institution and is contrary to law. The man with a wheel, is no more a gambler than the races at the stock farm, run formoney. The boy in the back alley playing marbles for keeps is the horse racer and poker player in miniature. The parade of Rensselaer Wilkes with a brass band was a disgrace, to The “Old Settler’s Meeting” last week was a sham to get the people out to attend and honor the races at the Rensselaer stock farm. There were a good many nice and innocent people there but the “benefit” was for the sporting fraternity, both male and female.

The demoralization of the young men and women of the town and vicinity by such things are incalculble. They even had tue “gall” to invite the school children. It is a shame and should not be tolerated. Any one who opposes the saloon or gambling interest in the community is characterized as a crank a fool and a hypocrite. Let the people stand together against all of those things without regard to party politics or church or creed and assist the prosecutor in all ways they can and the evils may be greatly lessened. Yours Truly. A Crank. Taken up—Small bay mare, 10 or 12 years old, white star in forehead, foretop trimmed, shod all around. J. H. Carr, 31 miles west and 1 mile south of Rensselaer.

An Old Citizen.

The following is copied by request from the Olathe, Kansas, Herald: Major J. B. Mahaffie was born in Fayette county, Ohio, in 1818, emigrated to Cass county, Indiana, and in 1843 moved to Jasper, Indiana, and in 1844 was married to Miss Lucinda Henderson. In 1857, came to Johnson county, Kan., living a short tim einOlathe then moved to and located on the farm one mile north-east of Olathe, on the old Santa Fe road, where he kept the first hotel and stage station that part of the county and for a great many years the Mahaffie hotel and station was known by all travelers from Westport, Mo., to Santa Fe. Mr. Mahaffie, while on the farm, was an extensive stock raiser and cattle feeder. In 1859, he raised more corn and wheat and fed more men than any other man in this part of Kansas. In that year he sold the first wheat ever bought by the Wayndotte Mills from Johnson county, 400 bushel at $1 per bushel. In 1865 he sold to the Washington Mills in Wayndotte 1300 bushels of wheat at $2.40 per bushel. He was a member of the Ist board of directors of the K. C, F. S. & M. R. R. Co. Out bf that board of 11 members, Mr. Mahaffie, Judge Burris and J. T. Weaver are all that are now living. He was a charter member of Iriquois Lodge No. 1431. O. O. F. of Rensselaer. Ind., also a charter member of Olathe Lodge No. 59, and of Harmony Lodge No. 84, also a charter member of Olathe Grange. He was an industrious and thrifty farmer, his latch string was always out. and he always made his guests and friends welcome. His acquaintence being so extensive, he often had them stay with him for weeks at a time.

His family consists of four sons and three daughters, all married but the youngest daughter. A few years ago when he became too old to carry on active business, he moved to Olathe and one of the most familiar faces to all the people of the county and especially to the old settlers is old Uncle Beaty Mahaffie. He has children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren around his happy home. Mystic bicycles for rent at the Pilot office.
