Rev. Mr.. Bright, Of Chanute, was IL

]. H. Fisher has been vibrating be
tween here and Humboldt this week
The well known form of w. H
Slavens of Yates Center, graced our
streets fora few hours last Wednes'
day.
Remember that the REGISTER of.
fee is over Stevenson's drug store, and
that we are always Eat home" to our
friends.
The japanese is rapidly coming to
the front as the most progressive of all
the oriental nations. The govern
ment has taken steps to have all its
public buildings illuminated with the
electric light.
Mr.. Geo. Malcolm, a west of the riv-
er boy, returned from Texas last Sat-
urday. He will live in Allen County.
Says southeastern Texas is unhealthy
and not fit to live in.
We acknowledge pleasant call from
Mr.. G. ". McCracken Of Newcastle
Pa. Mr.. NJ. is an old friend of mine
host Fisher, is an editor and State
Senator and talks In very interesting
way about the situation in his state.
Bro. Burd of the Inter State says he
made his bird with his little jack-knife
and that it had the summer complaint.
We thought one of the "birds" had the
summer complaint, or something
equally distressing.
The stage in the opera house has
been raised sixteen inches. This is
much needed improvement. 1t moves
back the desirable seats more or less,
and will do away with the complaint
of those occupying the rear seats. The
immediate cause for this il to accomo-
date the large audiences expected at
the presentation of the Spy of Atlanta.
A unlor temperance meeting will be
held at the Baptist church Sunday
evening. The meeting will be adj
dressed by the pastors of the churches
and large attendance is hoped for.
First address by Rev. Weatherby, sub
ject-Present status of the temperance
in our state. Second adj
dress by Rev. Miller, subject-If not
what then? Third adj
dress by Rev. Coffey, subject-Present
duty of temperance people.
A number Of handsome residences
have been recently completed in town.
Notably are those of w. II. Mcclure,
Mr.. Warner and ]. s. Fast. The two
last mentioned are not on so expensive
a scale as Mr.. McClure's, but show
what judicious expenditure and good
taste can do in the way Of making a
beautiful home. Mr.. Fast's strikes us
as particularly neat and tasty, as well
as convenient. Builders who are not
to build on an extensive
scale, would do well to initiate the ar
taste displayed in Mr..
Fast's house.
A special meeting Of the Neosho
was held at the Presby-
terrain church Tuesday afternoon.
The most interesting matters of busi-
ness were the severing of the pastoral
relations of Mr.. Miluer and the Ottawa
church, and the order for the estab-
lishment of presbyterian church in
Moran, this county. Mr.. Miner
leaves his Ottawa congregation, and
the Neosho Presbytery, with deep re-
gret on both sides. He is a grand
fighter for temperance and religion,
and his work will be heard from in
Atchison. We are glad to note the
of the church at our
neighbOr, Moran.
A curious and interesting incident is
reported to US from west of the NeoshO.
One evening a week or two ago Miss
Alice Miller, i'm starting to walk back
ward, stumbled over an obstruction in
the road and fell, striking the back of
her head upon the ground. She faint
ed but was revived and taken home.
For week or more she lay between
life and death. Her mind was dis
ordered; she sang or talked inco-
herenly most of the time. and the case
was thought to be hopeless. But
few mornings since she woke as if
from long sleep, in her right mind,
and with the exception of slight ex-
i'm health. She was unable
to remember the accident or any thing
that had happened since. She has
rapidly and steadily improved and is
now fully restored.
Last Wednesday a case was heard
at Chambers before Judge Talcott,
a motion was made to dis
solve a temporary injunction before
granted by the Judge. The temporary
injunction was granted at Yates Cen
ter during the last term of the court
being then holden, and was brought
by w. p. Taylor vs. one Mr.. Ellison
and his wife to restrain them from
selling or disposing of personal prop
erty In fraud of creditors. Upon the
hearing to dissolve the injunction,
Messrs. Pickett & Thurber appeared
for defendants, and Mr.. Slavens for
plaintiff. After final hearing the mo-
