We believe that the lola Literary
Union could give two entertainments
similar to those given at the Presbyte-
rian church last winter, and by charg-
ing an admission fee raise money
enough to give good start to pub
lie library. This could be added to by
occasionally securing first class leo
turer. Good books are cheap, and by
raising small fund each year a good
library could soon be secured.
The following is a list of the officers
elected by the A. o. U. T., last Mon
day night, for the eDs6ing year: w.
A. Cowan, TeuplaE Mrs. I. N. Tenn
pin, Vice Te1plar; A. P. Brewer,
Lecturer Sapfuel Brubaker, Marshal /;
w. H Evsds, Financier; John Pax
son, Eec9tder; E. J. Thayer, Treasur-
er iDr, "A. J. Cassidy, Medical Exam
iper /; G. A. Cole, Guard; Alb. Marsh,
Watchman; w. A. Cowan and J. G..
Murray, delegates to Grand Lodge.
VThere has been trouble in that Sum
day School. The question came up
as to whether the teachers should
make the officers and scholar presents
or vice versa, and there was not grace
enough in the entire outfit to settle the
dispute amicably or satisfactorily. So
the Sunday School is doubtless among
the things of the past; the teachers
are spending their Sabbaths as form
erly was their custom, and that scholar
is again on the broad road.
Some Of the papers in the State, in
view of the fact that cold water is soon
to be the regular drink of the average
Kansan, are advising people to see
that there are no dead rats in their
cisterns. In Atchison they have
avoided this necessity. The people of
that city are to be supplied by water
works with pure fresh water, and will
not need their cisterns. To those who
have to depend on cisterns for their
drink, the advice to have them properly
cleansed is timely.

In announcing a change in the man.
agement of the REGISTER last week,
we neglected to mention the fact that
the paper has been enlarged. For fear
the public should think we were too
modest for our own good, we now call
attention to the size of the paper, and
ask that our friends assist us in increas-
ing its circulation and also assist us
in making the paper more interesting
by furnishing us with local news of
general interest. With the occasional
assistance of different friends we hope
to make the REGISTER household
necessity in every well regulated fam
lily in our city and vicinity.
The preliminary examination of Mr..
Smith, charged with fraudulently US
ing seal and changing certified copy
of the record of the District Court.
which we mentioned as being in pro-
gress before Squire Christy as we went
to press last week, is still in progress.
Last Friday his attorney took him be-
fore Judge Talcott on writ of habeas
corpus. and endeavored to secure his
release. In this, however, they failed,
and the cause was continued by Squire |
Christy till Wednesday of this week. |
when it was again taken up and is |
still in progress. J. II. Richards is
the County Attorney in be-
half Of the State, and Murray & Smith |

1t was our pleasure to be present at |
The recent oral examinations in our
public schools and real pleasure we
