We understand that there is talk of
organizing a cattle company among
some of our stock men here, with a
view to renting a pasture in the In
dian Territory and carrying on the
business on large scale. The names
of some of our most prominent stock
men and capitalists are mentioned in
connection with the company.
Hon. f. H. Funston will address
the people of lola and vicinity at the
Opera House tomorrow night. This
will be the first set political speech
that Mr.. Funston has made at his own
home since his election to congress and
he ought to be greeted with full
house. Let every body come out and
hear him. The band will be on hand
and the Plumed Knights will prob
ably make display.
We learn that McCook Post, G.. A.
R., has secured the services OF Capt.
H. B. Seeley for his lecture on 1.-THE
Battle of Gettysburg and Southern
Prison Life" at the Opera House Oct.
27th. The Captain is reputed to be a
fine lecturer, and with such fascinat-
ing subject the evenings entertain
ment will undoubtedly be good one.
See notices of the lecture in other pla-
ces.
Our officers were notified OIL Tuesday
night, of an attempted rape near Hum
bolt. A little girl living near town
was returning from school when she
was assaulted by tramp who threat
ened her with death if she gave any
alarm. Before the fiend had accom-
plished his designs, some one came
along the road and frightened him
away. Although closely pursued for
some distance the tramp made good
his escape.
In another place will be found APP
pointments for republican meetings
that are to he held throughout the
county during the remainder of the
campaign. The attention of the spea-
kers named and of the central COM
mitteemen is especially called to this
matter and it is hoped that they will
be promptly on hand and see that ev-
cry meeting is held as advertised.
Circulate the notice and secure as large
an attendance as possible.
Very damaging reports have been
and are being circulated, accusing. the
Deputy County Attorney of gross cor
ruption in the matter of the Miami Co.
case, tried before Justice Harris some
weeks ago. In the absence of Mr..
Fisher, Mr.. Amos has made diligent
inquiry into the truth of the charge,
and we publish i'm another place what
he has to say about it,. We have no
comments to make at present, but will
add that the columns of THE REGIS
TER are open to Mr.. Brown or to any
other person who wishes to reply to
what is published to-day.
On Tuesday Of next week Mr.. w.
H. Mcclure turns over the books and
funds that he has kept and guarded
for four years, into the hands of Mr.. III.
H. Hayward, his successor in office.
1t will be no reflection on the gentle
man who follows him to say that Mr..
Mcclure leaves the Office of county
treasurer, almost universally regretted.
Always at his post, always quick, ac-
curate, courteous and obliging, his
worst enemy cannot deny that he has
made model officer, and he leaves
the office with the best wishes of near
ly every man who has done business
with him.
