A special to the Leavenworth Time,
of July IA, from this place says
Among the.enterprises of our prosper.
Gus little city, none are more prosper.
Gus than our canning factory, where
work has been commenced and ID
going on briskly, some loo cans Of
vegetables being put up daily.
j We will publish next week com
plete and reliable history Of the land
question in this county-giving the
status of the different grants and titles.
A great many people have very vague
ideas of the real facts I'm the case, and
we feel sure this history will be well
fcomed. Let your friends hear of it.
Rev. w. s. Webb, of Girard, will
preach at the Baptist church next
Sunday morning and evening. We
understand that the Baptist congrega-
ton here, have about completed ar
ments that will secure the permanent
services Of Mr.. Webb. We shall be
glad to welcome him as citizen.
1.-THE Welda correspondent of the Gar
fnett Republican has this to say abont
one of Iola's young ladies. 'Miss Josie
Stevenson returned, Monday. and pur-
chased a house and lot of J. p. Murphy
and will soon open out drug store.
Miss Stevenson dispatches business in
a manner that would make the 'sterner
sex ashamed of Themselves
Do your advertising in the REGIS
TER. Mr.. Klaumann put in q five-line
notice last week of pony that had
strayed away from home, and within
three days he got word that his pony
could be found on u farm i'm Woodson
county, ten miles west of Humboldt.
We do not remember single notice of
| that kind this summer that failed to
achieve its purpose.
Rev. Shuey, Missionary Superin-
tendent of Kansas for the Reformed
Church. residing at Emporia, will
preach at the court house on Sabbath,
July %, at ii O'Clock q. M. A Re-
formed Congregation will be organized
at the same time. All are invited to
attend. The same afternoon at four
O'Clock, Rev. Shuey will preach at Rose
Hill school house, four miles east of
lola.
If we were a betting character we
would be willing to gamble that every
one of the half dozen leaguers who
have stopped their paper within the
last week or two, will read this
item-for they will borrow the paper
of their neighbors. Knowing this, it
is for their benefit that we remark,
that We send out twenty-four more
REGISTERS this week than we sent last
week. That is the rate at which we
are losing "more than $780,"
Capt. Ijams, to whom reference is
made elsewhere, said that the greatest |
drawback to our town is that wretched |
piece of architecture, the public school |
building. 1t is not the first time we
have heard intelligent strangers make
the same remark, and we honestly |
think it would he paying investment
to make little better showing in the
matter. Aside from appearances, the
rooms arc generally uncomfortable and |
stinted in capacity. A skillful archi-
tect could probably utilize the old walls
to some extent, and perceptibly tighten
the entire expense.
Mr.. n. l.. Gates will lecture before
the Normal students hext Wednes-
day evening July 18th, on the subject
of Astronomy. The lecture will be il
Illustrated Diagrams, and by Tel
lurian aud Lunarian views. The adj
mission will be twenty-five cents, ten
per cent. of the proceeds to go to the
Institute fund. During the last week
of the Institute there will be lectures
by'Prof. w. H. Carruth of the State
University, and by A. c. Scott. The
subject and time of these lectures will
be announced next week. The public
gepsxally are invited to attend.
/Capt. Sawyer mustered Charlie
Steele into the service this week and /
together they raised something over
eighty dollars, for the erection OF a
band stand in the public square.
Work was begun on it "Wednesday,
and it will be ready to dedicate" ear
" next week. r. 1t is to be octagonal in
form, twenty feet in circumference and
about twenty feet high, and will be
surmounted by large flag pole.
Since the stand has been built by pri-
vate subscription, the council will
doubtless feel justified in providing for
the laying of gravelled walks through
the square at the city's expense, and
we will soon be able to use the "coun-
ty farm" to some advantage. The
band has promised to give open air
concerts twice a week so the stand |
will be in immediate and constant use.
Now if we had fountains and if the
trees would only hurry little!
We visited lola last Saturday, and
