THE LEAP YEAR HOP

Last Thursday night was decided
success in every respect. Everything
went off as smoothly as if the ladies
had done nothing but manage such
things all their lives. LbOut thirty
couples We're present, all of whom
were so well acquainted that it seemed
more like social party than formal
ball. The supper was given at Lee
Fuckers and was gotten up and served
i'm the finest style of the art.
The gentlemen adapted themselves
in most cases, very gracefully to their
subordinate situation. We would like
very much to give detailed descrip-
ton of their costumes, which were all
very elaborate and tasteful, but our
training in that line is hardly equal
to the task. Suffice it to say that
they were gotten up utterly regardless
of expense, in the very latest styles,
and displayed to the best advantage
the form and features of each fair
wearer.
The programme was concluded at an
early hour Tin the morning1 and the
gay company dispersed, unanimously
voting the occasion zone of the very
pleasantest We have ever had"

cerm;ss;oners' Proceedings,

The county commissioners were il
session Monday. Tuesday and We'd
nesday of this week. Most of the
time was spent in looking over vouch
ers and checking up the books of the
county treasurer. Guss Williams,
who has been in Jail since September,
in default Of fine and costs, was releas-
ed. Petitions of B. +. Walton, s. j.
Stewart, j. G.. Packard, b. f. Bray
and George c. Graves for the opening
of new roads was granted. Petitions
of George Esse and Of S. NJ. Irwin, for
vacating certain streets and alleys in
the town of Geneva, were also granted.
In the latter case an appeal to the
District Court was taken by interested
property holders. On recommends
ton of Superintendent Henderson, NJ.
z. Jacoby and e.. E. Merwin were re-
appointed assistant examiners.

SONS OF VETERANS,

A few sons of veterans met at the
court house last Saturday night, but
nothing decisive was done except to
appoint another meeting for Tomorrow
night. The meeting Unsupported fol
seven O'Clock and we hope to see at least
twenty-five young men there who are
willing to go into the organization.
All sons lover eighteen years old OF
men who served i'm the Union army or
navy during the civil war and who
were honorably discharged, are eligi-
bic to membership, and every such
young man who il close enough to lola
to attend the meetings with any regu-
larity ought to be at the meeting to-
morrow night. There are certainly
enough men within reach of this place
to form large camp and all who are
eligible ought to consider it privilege
to become member. Turn out to-
morrow night and let us send in our
application for charter at once.

Have We a Coal Nine +?

Very early in the settlement of the
county, traces of coal were discovered
al the mouth of Elm creek, and ever
since then, efforts have been made
from time to time to discover the N ain
vein. For the past week or so Jacob
Bowers and Gaylord Robinson have
been prospecting in the bed of the Ne
osho river ut the mouth of the creek,
by means Of tube and drill, and they
have succeeded In finding vein of
coal nine inches thick. The vein dips
toward the the south bank of the creek
and we understand that arrangements
have been made to begin sinking a
shaft at once. The river is about IA
feet deep at the point where the coal
was discovered, and the bank is
about 80 feet high, it is estimated that
the shaft must be sunk at least A feet.
This will require some time, and until
the work is accomplished, nothing
more definite can be established. The
prospect certainly seems very fiatter-
ing, but we don't want to throw our
caps too high until the fact that We
have a paying coal mine is establish
ed beyond q doubt.

DEATH OF ED. GOODIN.

The sad intelligence reached Us Mon
day, of the death of Mr.. Ed. Goodin
son of Hon. John X. Goodin, at Wy
aBdette on Sunday night. He is re-
ported to have died of Cerebro Spinal
Meningitis.
Mr.. Goodin was . young man OF
great promise, and with bright fu-
ture evidently before him. He had
just begun the practice of law, having
graduated from the Law Department
of The State University last Jrpe- AT
that time he represented his class on
the Commencement programme, and
we had the pleasure of hearing him
deliver an ora ton which was remark
ed by all to have been very fine pro-
duction, and indicating great ability.
His mental force greatly prepondera-
ted over his physical nature, and his
early death is not therefore very sur
prising: Perhaps al the more on this
account, however. the blow falls very
heavily upon the loving parents, whose
only child he was. He had been for
years his mothers almost constan
companion during the many absences
of Judge Goodin, and TO her the 6ereave-
ment is peculiarly sad aud overvhelu-
ing.

p. H, HARRIS.

There has been a good deal of quiet
political talk about town this week,
the drift of which is to to the effect
that Prof. p. III. Harris wolld be a
good man tn vote for at the coming
election for Justice of the Peace. We
understand that he will be candidate
ard if he is, THE REGISTER sees nc
reason why be should not be elected.
His unfortunate accident the first of
the year, will probably render him in
capable of attempting any active en-
ployment for long time TO come, and
he Will therefore be able to give his en-
tire time to the duties of the Office
Such being the case there ia no doubt
that he would perform those duties
with as much ability and integrity as
any other man that could be named
for the Office. Every intelligent eiti-
zen recognizes and laments the fact
The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1884-01-18

that the fees attached to tile office o.
Justice of the Peace do not nearly
amount tn such sum as the impor-
tance and responsibility Of the office
justify. For this reason it is hard to
fill it With men whose ability is such
as the place really demands. a great
many citizens think that such an OPP
portusity is offered now and that il
should be taken advantage Of. III Prof.
Harris were in his usual health he
could not afford to take the Office. Sit
uated as he is, however. the citizens
would be doing him favor by elect
ing him, and would at the same time
fill the office of Justice OF the Peace
with a man who il unusually well
qualified for the position.

BOARD OF TRADE.

1t occurs to us that now while bust
ness is a little dull and there is plenty
of time to give to the work, wouldbe a
good time for our business men to organ
ize Board of Trade. That such an or
ganization would be of vast benefit to
our town, hardly admits of doubt.
Innumerable questions, directly affect
ing the business interests of the town,
are constantly coming up which can on
ly be properly and satisfactorily dis
cussed and settled by the business
men of the town acting rs an organ
lied body. We have already depend
ed too long on ''citizens meetings" and
similar loose and unorganized gather
ings to aid in building up the town.
Spring will soon be here and with it
will doubtless come a great many OPP
portunities for advancing the material
interests Of the town which can only
be taken advantage Of by strong and
united effort. We want a creamery.
We want a sugar refinery. We want
a foundry. And if an organization was
formed here which would take it upon
itself to inform the outside world of
the advantages our place offers for
such enterprises, there is little doubt
that our hopes could be realized in at
least one Of those particulars, before
the summer was over.
But in addition to the part it could
take in such m atters, there are great
many other things affecting the BUSH
ness prosperity of the town i'm an al
most equal degree that can only be
properly attended to by Board of
Trade. Prominent among these is the
question of railroad freight rates. For
years lola has been Disseminated
against in favor of other competing
points. At the present time, rates on
certain classes of freight are twice what
they ought to be. Now a remonstrance
against such a state of affairs would
have much more effect if signed By the
.Iola Board of Trade" than 1t could
possibly have if sent by any number
of private individuals. We might
instance many other cases in which
the services Of such an organization
would be of vast benefit, but they will
readily suggest themselves to any one
who will give the subject a moments
thought.
The Board could be organized and
maintained at merely nominal cost
of either money or time. In all proha-
bility monthly meetings would be Of.
ten enough, with provision that the
members might be called together al
any other time that was thought neees-
sary. The main idea is to have the or
ganization effected. Once organized
and in existence. the rest 10 plain sail.
ing, and our word for 1t, lola can look
back year from now aud see the ad.
vantage of it.
Let the matter bs talked over and
thought over and some action taken as
soon as possible. In the mean time
the columns of the REGISTER are
open to any one who may wish 70 pre-.
fsent his views on the subject.
