The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1884-06-27

Rev. r. NJ. Scott will be absent on
next Sabbath attending the Church
encampment at Ottawa. The pulpit
of the NJ. E. Church will be filled by
Rev. r. Brown, in the morning and
Rev. John Shank in the evening.
Aside from the blowing down of the
Christian church, we hear of no seri-
GUS damage in town from the wind ex-
cept the loss ola young lady's bangs.
We asked her IL we might advertise
them, but she said she didn't want
'em.
On Sunday night last, Mrs. VIM.
Naples of Harper Kansas, while wait
ing for the night train on the s. X.
depot accidentally walked off the
platform and dislocated her forearm
at the wrist. The dislocation was re-
duced by DR.. Fulton.
The members of the Christian church
are receiving the sympathy Of all par
ties on account of the damage done to
their church by the wind storm of
Wednesday. We have not heard an
estimate Of what the damage will be,
but it must be very considerable
amount.
The REGISTER does not deny that
in the dispute over the land in this
county, it considers the Leaguers in
the wrong. But when it makes men-
ton of the disposi'i ion Of cases that
have been taken into court, it will
generally be found pretty close to the
record.
We heartily agree with our CORE
spondent "X" in another column in
his structures upon convention meth
DDS. Every man should be Above to
exercise his independence on such Oc-
casions, and not virtually be coerced
into helping grind an Ak for one
faction or another.
4 large number of Leagures are
filing homestead applications on the
land which they occupy. They do
this for the purpose of obtaining ere
jected filings" and having prior
claim in case the lands revert to the
government. In our opinion, no
right Is secured in this way.
We are i'm receipt of an anonymous
epistle stating that there will be 18th
of July celebration near Thomas Mill.
As the communication has no signature
we give the notice at hazard, not
knowing whether practical joke Is
intended or not. We like modest
correspondent, but this one suits US too
we'll.
Both railroads will sell tickets to
all points at half fare for the 4th, and
our town is likely to be deserted.
Ottawa will doubtless receive few
of our citizens as that town promises
"the biggest celebrationOn eaIth." We
hope however that no body Will go
outside of the county for their amuse-
ment.
We are glad to announce that Mrs.
Cougar, the celebrated lecturer on
Woman's Suffrage, will deliver a lee
ture at the Opera House tonight.
Mrs. Cougar is recognized all over the
west as one of the most eloquent lee
turers we have, and as the admission
is free she should have a crowded
house.
In the case of the State VS.. Wesley
Frost, for cutting wire fence, the jury
on Saturday last brought in a verdict of
guilty. Mr.. Boyle filed the customary
motion for a new trial, and if it is over
ruled will probably appeal to the Su-
preme Court. We hope this verdict
will have some effect In cooling the az
dor of the wire cutters.
Jas. Burns made sale this week of
the traction engine and thresher that
Beck has had on the streets for week
or two. The purchasers were Steven
son Bros. & Townsley, of Xenia,
Bourbon County, and the price Of the
outfit was $3.50. This makes the
sscond steam thresher sold from
Beck's implement house this year,
besides which he has sold four horse
pOwer threShers.
Rev. S. G.. Clark, for several years
; pastor of the Presbyterian church a,
this place, will fill the pulpit next
Sunday morning at the usual hour.
Mr.. Clark is now located at Rockville
, Bates county, Mo-, and came over or
r Tuesday to be present at the quarter
: centennial anniversary Of the Carlyle
r church. He has been prevailed upor
+ to remain here over Sunday and many
of his old parishioners will gladly
e avail themselvs Of this opportunity t.
/, listen to him once more.
