| I'VE have received an interesting let
ter from Dannie Bush, now at Sidney
Neb., whicb>we are too much crowded
to insert He gives a glowing descrip
ton of,the country, and seems to think
1t very desirable place to live.
The fact is becoming more and more
apparent that we need criminal court
Criminal business must be attended to,
but 1t is hardly less important that
civil cases involving almost vital In
terest to the people, should receive due
attention.
The probabilities are that the Fourth
Of July celebration will go by default
in Allen county this year, unless lola
feels like furnishing the money and the
fun again. None Of the other
towns in the county seem to have ''get
up" enough to take hold Of the matter.
Miss Josie Stevenson has closed
out her business in Wels,a and is again
making lola her home. She will not
engage In any business at present. 4
Some Of the extensive advertisers Of
Baking Powder calculate to pay their
advertising bills by the adulteration
they put in their powder. DeLand's
Chemical positively contains no filling
whatever.
According to the Courant the advi-
sorry building committee is composed as
follows; w. 8. Hendricks, T. H. !ams
G. A. Bowlus, and Bill Mcclure.
The friends of "Bill" Mcclure appre-
ciate the delicate and high minded
!,
H. l.. Henderson and VIM. Davis
made quite q trade this week
the latter exchanging his half
interest in the Davis and Vannuys
stone business building on the
south side of the square for Mr..
residence property
on south Washington avenue.
DR.. Lafary, our new dentist, Is MAX
ing his best grade Of teeth for $40 per
set and satisfaction guaranteed.
Among the street attractions this
week has been the Coordination Lad
der" exhibited by Chas. E. Everett at
the Opera House corner. 1t is certainly
o very ingenious and ought to be a rap
idly selling article. MrEverett is selling
territory only, and has already made
several good sales. He will remain In
lola about two weeks.
Mr.. Apple has just received about
$500 worth of fine oil paintings which
he will offer for sale at public auction
at 2 o'clock p. m. This is a
rare opportunity for those wishing to
obtain good pictures at their own price
to do so, as they will be sold without
Do not fail to be on hands
promptly.
It seems impossible-in the estima-
ton of some people-to get up meet
ing of any kind In which some one does
not have political AK to grind.
Talking about "weak stomachs", il
the REGISTER can stand only "a drop"
of temperance, it strikes us that there
is another paper within less than a
miles of here that can't stand
even homeopathic dose at the ten
solution, Of Temperament
well as some other questions that are
of vital interest to Allen county.
We have been told in confidence by one
who knows, that the lightning which
struck a certain stable in the west pant
of town last Sunday night, came as a
judgment and warning to two young
men living just across the street, who
had been playing ball on Sunday after
noon. For the sake of the barns it is
hoped the young men will desist.
At the request of Mr.. Funston, r.
w. Duffy and A. G. Scott selected by
lot yesterday the three examiners for
the examination of candidates for the
West Point Military Academy, which
is to be held at lola, May 8. The ex-
aminers were chosen from the old Sec
ond District, and the following were
the lucky parties: Miss Sallie Hutsell,
of Cherokee, E. H. Jackson, of Miami,
aud H. F. Ellis. of Franklin.
F. w. Prince has sold his interest in
the Candy Factory to Frank Wheeler
and left Tuesday for Emporia.. He
makes the change in order to be able
to place upon the market an ice cream
packer which he invented and patent
ed. During his stay..here Mr.. Prince has
proved himself a pleasant and accom-
odating gentleman and good business
man. We are sorrow to lose him but
sincerely hope that he may find mil
lions in his new business.
