IAs will be seen by notice in anoth-
I er column, A. G. Scott has severed his
connection with/fhe REGISTER, and
will no longer make lola his perma-
nent home. He started Monday night
to heIndian Territory for short
visit. He will be somewhat missed
here, by the o. b. fraternity at least.
Mrs. Othick and Miss Saddle Ford
of Joplin Mo-, mother and niece of B.
j. Othick, are here on visit.
Miss Nettie Scott returned Monday
from Bismark fair, where she was for
tunate enough to take the first pre-
MUM for the best original oil paint
ing OH exhibition The picture which
gained the prize was taken direct from
nature, being representation of the
Wilder windmill i'm west Lawrence.
This is the second time in succession
that Miss Nettie has taken the same
premium, against very great COMPETE
ton.
A1arge number of people went from
here to the Soldiers Reunion at Neosho

witness the sham battle. Most of
them seemed well pleased with the
The Fort Scott drum
crops was there and was one of the
best features of the day. They carried
with them an elegant banner which
they had received while at Minneap-
oils from the Chicago AID Rock Island
road.
We noticed Bro. f. V. Wharton of
the Yates Center Democrat in town
Tuesday. Mr.. Wharton is running
one of the cleanest as well as one of
the brightest democratic papers in the
State. Unlike many of his fellow par
tisans, he treats his republican cotem-
poraries with uniform courtesy and
respect, never substituting ridicule for
argument and never saying in his pa
per what he would be ashamed to say
face to face.
Serenading parties are so rare in
lola that some of our citizens hardly
know what to make of one when it
does come around. There was a
party out last Monday night. They
halted before house in the south
part of town and began their song.
But before they had finished the first
strain man in house across the way
yelled at the top of his voice "PoLICE!"
The song came to an unceremonious
ending and great calm settled down
npon.that part of the city for the rest of
the night.
Mr.. A. Z. Fehleisen, of Marmaton
township, sold his farm this week to a
Mr.. Hoffman, of Neosho county, for
5000. cash. Mr.. L. did not sell be-
cause is he dissatisfied with Kansas or
with Allen county. but because he
was paid his price. He doesn't give
possession until January /, and in
the mean time he will cast around and
probably purchase other land in the
same vicinity. His many friends and
neighbors will hope. at any rate, that
he will continue to make Allen county
his home.
The bows who were arrested in Mi
ami county and lodged in Jail here last
week, charged with having stolen a
horse from NJ. l.. Call, of this county,
two wears ago, were taken before Judge
Stillwell last Saturday on n writ of
ha6eas corpus. The Judge released
them on the ground that the warrant
on which they had been arrested was
improperly drawn. The county attor-
ney had anticipated this decision and
so had warrants issued from justice
Harris court, upon which they were
re-arrested as soon as they were releas-
ed from the previous warrant. They
then went before Justice Harris and
had their case continued until the 3lst
inst, giving bond for their appearance
at that date.
4 lot of boys and young men who
are old enough to know better, went
down to Gray & Ross ice house
last--Sunday and pulled boards off the
sides and top and uncovered the ice,
leaving it exposed to the hot winds
that were blowing that day, and the
next. They also shot bullet holes
through the sides of the house. The
result was that when the damage was
discovered at least five tons of ice had
melted while it will be difficult to save
the remainder. Mr.. Gray learned the
names of all the boys concerned in the
outrage aud has consented, we under
stand, to let them off without a pros
ecution If they will pay him for five
tons of ice. The boys may consider
