1t again becomes our painful duty II
make record of another death. On
Wednesday evening, October %, Mrs
o. P. Rose, of May View, Missouri
died at the house of her father, Mr.. ].
P. Duncan. The deceased was mar
ried June IL, 1883, and would have
been q years of age had she lived un-
til next Monday. The remains will be
taken to Humboldt for interment this
morning. There will be a short ser
vice at the residence and the funeral
sermon will be preached In the church
at Humboldt.
His Majesty, King Click, providence
permitting, will pass through this fav-
ored city of the realm, at 7:55 to-mOr-
row morning. Accompanied by the
lords and ladies of his court he will
travel on a special train, and will stop
here ten minutes in order that his 10y
al subjects may be given an opportu-
nifty to gaze upon that regal counte-
nance. This condescension Of His
Royal Highness has deeply touched
all the people and everybody will be at
the depot-or somewhere else.
They do say that figures don't lie.
candidate on both the county tickets
has figures that prove his election be-
yond a doubt. Such being the case
we really fear there is lie out some
where. At any rate it would be as
well for some one to guard against dis
appointment.
P.S 8. When we said that each of
the candidates had figured himself in,
we should have excepted AL. Jones.
With all his skill in that art, aided by
his unrivalled imagination, he is una
BILE to figure Stewards majority below
125.
One Of the neatest typographical
jobs ever done in lola, ''if we do say
it as perhaps shouldn't" is the "Course
of Study" published this week by the
REGISTER Job office for the benefit of
the pupils of the high school. We are
under obligations to Prof. DIN for pre-
pairing the "copy," and the business
men for making its publication posi-
BILE by their patronage. We hope the
former may find his reward in the re-
lief, which the book may afford him,
from answering questions; and the lat
ter in the increased trade which will
be given them by the five hundred
families i'm which their advertisements
will be seen and read.
The silliest charge yet made against
Amos and Fisher, is that they have
both been guilty of charging illegal
fees. Every id,cyer knows that the
county attorney has nothing whatever
to do with charging up his own fees.
The statute plainly states what his
fee shall be and it is the duty of the
Justice, or of the District Clerk, if the
trial is before the District Court, to GER
tify on his docket the fee to which the
county attorney is entitled. 1t would
be utterly impossible for him to collect
an illegal fee except through the error,
or with the connivance, of one of these
officers. If Amos or Fisher have col
lected illegal fees, either the Justices
before whom they practiced, or the
Clerk of the District Court is to blame
for it.
1t really looks as if Gordon was
afraid to meet Fisher. On Tuesday it
was given out that he would speak
that evening in Maple Grove, Salem
township. Fisher went to the depot,
intending to go to Humboldt on the
train and drive out to Maple Grove
from there. Gordon was also at the
depot, waited So minutes for the train
and boarded it when it came. Fisher
also stepped aboard and paid no more
attention to Mr.. G. Other parties who
were watching, however, state that af-
ter the train began moving the latter
jumped off, on the side away from the
depot, and returned up town. Certain it
is that he spoke at Elm Dale instead
of at Maple Grove that night. Per-
haps, however, he merely changed his
mind suddenly.
A disgracefully small audience was
at the Opera House Monday evening to
hear Captain Seeley's lecture on Get
tysburg. The few who were there
however. were Well repaid for their at
tendance. The Captain is a finished
elocutiOnist and his lecture, in addi-
ton to being we'll written, was deliver
ed in the main with good effect. There
was hardly as much detail in the de-
scription of the battle of Gettysburg to
satisfy our curiosity and we think
that to most of the audience a more de-
tailed account of the lecturers prison
| life and of his numerous escapes and
recaptures would have been welcomed.
We were especially curious to know
what became of that boat load of pris-
oners and confederates that went float
ing down the Potomac on account of
the accidentally contact of some Yam
kee knife with the ferry rope. On the
whole however the lecture was an eX-
cellent one and Capt. Seeley can count
on a larger audience if he ever comes
this way again.
1t was announced in the newspapers
last week-all but the REGISTER
which, somehow, finds no favor with
the re-submission crowd-that j. Z.
Gordon would address meetings on
Monday at New Scotland, on Tuesday
at Maple Grove and on Thursday at
Cottage Grove. BY little hand bill,
however, which appeared Monday, we
find that he would also address the
people on Monday at Moran, on Tues.
day at Elm Dale and on Thursday al
Geneva. In other words, it was an.
nounced that he would positively ap-
pear at two places on each of those eve
nings. Has our friend Gordon sud
denly acquired the faculty OF ubiqui'
ty? Can he be in two or more places
at the same time? Or-dreadful
thought do those conflicting an
inouncements mean that he is getting
4 tired of having Fisher let the wind ou
of his sails each night, and so wishe:
to confuse and delude him? Verify il
hath that appearance.
