the presidents of all the South Ameri.
can republics are expected to be present
on that day.
There will be temperance meeting
at the Christian church next Tuesday
evening, to be addressed by DIR. Hen.
bricks and G. F. Scott. The meeting
is intended mainly for children and
young people.
You can save from 10 to 80 per cent
by buying your groceries at Richards
& Lakin's cash store, as they have nc
bad accounts for you to pay, and can
afford to sell for less than other houses
who sell on time.
The furnaces have been put in posi-
sion in the new school house, and one
of them has been fired up this week.
The draught seems to be very good,
and altogether it acts in an entirely
satisfactory manner.

Mcclure has mammoth advertise
ment in this issue which it will pay
you to read from top to bottom. He
has an immense stock of goods, both
of his large rooms being crowded, and,
as he says in his advertisement, they
are bound to go. The first caller will
get the choice.
Under-Sheriff Gordon and his dep
uty, John Brown, have been highly
complimented for the activity and
nerve they have displayed in the Ash
craft matter. 1t is generally believed
that if the prisoner Is brought to this
Jail, he will stay there until wanted by
the proper authorities.
The REGISTER is thu best local pa.
per for this section, and its price is

tor of Kansas City, with its eight pa
ges of choice farm, stock and market
literature, the freshest and latest, is
the best of its class and cheap at Sl.5O
per year. We furnish both for only
$3.50. Drop in and subscribe without
fail.
We are sorry to learn that the re-
port that some of the young ladies in
tended starting boarding house for
some of the homeless o. BIS is with
out foundation. Such q boarding
house, combining as it would, good
table with the comforts of a home and
delightful society, would certainly be
hailed with rapture and patronized to
an unheard-of extent.
The G. A. R. committee are doing
lively work getting things in shape
for their Fair. Their advertisement
giving their magnificent list of gifts,
is shown in another column. This en-
terprise promises to be more satisfacto-
ry than it was last winter for the reas-
on that the tickets are just half the
price, while all the gifts are Of ac-
tual worth and value.
A merry party of young folks, a
dozen couples or more, accompanied
Fred Funston up to his home ON the
farm last Friday evening, where they
had a jolly time for nearly half the
night. They do say that one of the
boys, who had engaged the company
Of lady living just outside the city,
was unable to find his way out to her
home on account of the darkness. But
that is probably not the case, although
it was dark that night.
BY notices recently posted at the
Wichita depot, it will be seen that
passengers wishing to ride on the
freight trains of that road must pur-
chase tickets, as conductors of these
roads are not allowed to collect fares
or to let passengers ride without tick
cts. This order Is made to protect
station agents, whose wages have been
recently reduced, but whose commits
sion on tickets sold has been raised as
partial compensation.
Herforth, Humboldt's "boss consta-
BILE" telegraphed from Eureka, "Stop
all search. Ihave got Ashcraft." AS
a matter of fact Ashcraft gave HIM
self up to Sheriff De Foe of Eureka,
two hours before Herforth reached the
town. John Brown had already tele-
graphed De Foe, and in accordance
with the usual rule the latter refused
to give Ashcraf. up when Herforth
demanded him, and held him until
Brown came.
We are very much pleased to learn
that there was no truth in the report
that the ladies of the Library Associa-
ton intended to hold fair during holt
days. They assure us that they had
never thought of such thing and that |
they are all anxious for the entire sue
cess of the G. A. r. Fair. This sensi- |
BILE and magnanimous action on the
part of the ladies leaves things as they |
should be, and makes the success of the
&. A. r. Fair foregone conclusion.
Let us all go to work and "make things
hum" during the holidays.
At the ever hospitable home of
Capt. s. McClaren, on Deer creek.
last Thursday evening, Dec. 4, Mr.. j.
d. Hyde, and Miss Kittie King, both
of Lincoln, Neb., were made man and
wife. Rev. E. s. Miller performed the
ceremony, and in spite of the rain and
darkness, a goodly company of friends
were present to witness it, T. NJ. Bart
els and wife of lola being among the
number. After the ceremony most
elaborate collation. was served and
very pleasant evening spent. This is
