TORNADO.

Allen County's turn came at last
and we hope it will satisfy the angry
elements for long time to cume. Tt
Sheriff Worst, who travelled over the
track of the tornado of Monday night

ken and the four children were al
home, and had gone into the hall
when they heard the storm approach
ing, and were intending to fly to q
cave near by for safety. The door for
some reason refused to yield, and while
they were standing there the storm
struck the house. The next instant
they all found themselves lying III a
heap of dirt and plastering, without

They were fortunately nninjured,
with the exception of one daughter,
whose shoulder was fractured, and
slight Injuries to Mrs. Boeken. The
house was entirely demolished, togeth-
er with the barn and cribs. The prem
ises and fields were strewn with
clothing, mattresses, stray bits of fur
niture, and boards. a large quantity
OF corn in the shock was carried away
bodily. The houses of Mr.. Seymour,
and Philpot, near Boeken's, were next
struck and demolished, no one serious
~ injured. E. Y. Montgomery's
house was the next playthiDg of the
Storm. 1t was lifted up and carried

leaving the occupants there,

A GLANCE BEHIND AND BEFORE

With this number The REGISTER
begins its second year under the pres
emit management and it seems but just
to our patrons that We should give a
simple statement Of what has been &C
complished during the past year, and
say a word or two as to what we hope
TO do during the coming year.
When we took the 8ssGISTER it was
a six-column quarto. We soon found
that the large amount of space demand
ed By our advertisers would not leave
room to do justice to our readers.
Hence We enlarged the third week,
to seven-column quarto, giving us
eight colmuns-more than a page-of
solid reading matter, more than we
had in the old form.
In his last issue the former prOprie-
tor of the REGISTER said that he turn
ed it over to US, with a much larger
subscription list than any other paper
In the county. The exact number OF
subscribers at that time was $40. Our
regular list now numbers 200 an in
crease of nearly fifty per cent. Aud the
papers all go to bona tide subscribers.
We do not burden the mails each week
with two or three hundred "sample
copies. We think we have a right
to be proud of this record. as we doubt
fany other well established weekly
paper i'm the state can show as great
an increase during the same time.
So much for what has been done.
As to our intentions for the future
we can simply say that we shall con-
tinue as in the past, to get up just as
good a paper as our limited ability.
supplemented by hard work, will al
low US. THE REGISTER has always
given particular attention to local and
county news and shall continue to
make that department as full as posi-
BILE. 1t has been our idea, that the ed
itor of country paper, has just
as good right to express his opinion
If he has dny-on matters of current
and local interest, as has the editor of
a city daily; we shall therefore contin-
ue to make such comment on matters
and things" as seems to us proper, en-
deavoring at all times to advance the
interests of lola and of ALEU- county,
and to further the cause of law and or
der.
But we would call special attention
to an entirely new feature of the REG
IsTER for the coming winter. We
nave naUe arrangements VIVID an eX-
perfenced correspondent at Washing
ton, TO furnish US with portraits of the
notables who visit the national capital
this winter, together with brief sketch
of their lives. These portraits and
sketches will be entirely reliable and
viii without doubt be of great interest
TO our readers. Their publication will
begin with the meeting of congress
December LIST.
We also expect to begin the publica-
ton, soon after election, of series of
articles on early times in Kansas by
DR.. John W.Scott. They will consist
largely Of personal recollections by
the writer, of the men who made the
early history of the state, with all of
whom he was intimately acquainted,
and will be very interesting.
In conclusion we wish to acknowl-
edge with sincere thanks, the liberal
support we have received from the
citizens of lola and of the county. 1t
shall be our earnest endeavor to merit
continuance of it.
