e lola Carriage Works have complet
e assortment of their own make of extr
l. first-class buggies, spring wagons an
carriages, and will sell them at loy
II prices for the next thirty days.
: When ready to purchase their sprin
/, millinery ladies should call upon Mis-
Thornber, who has received larg
/, and very handsome stock of sprin
: goods. She calls special attention t
some very stylish shapes in hats ant
bonnets, and to some handsome flow
ers and other trimmings. Her roo ms
e are over Cowan's store.
Our mild ard gentle friend, Judg
Gilbert, remarked i'm the meeting a
Humboldt Monday night, that 1oli
, was a hydra headed monster" anC
t that he believed in Fighting the devi
} with fire." The Judge certainly know
tina. nothing could be gained by apply
ing the torch to a frog pond, "-excep
perhaps the extinguishment of TIT
: torch.
We must say that, with the single
exception of saying that Humboldt
would put up at her own expense
county buildings at a cost of SO, O0l
(which it knows could not be done
the Inter State has treated the court
house question with commendable
fairness, printing arguments for as
well as against it. We believe that
personally Mr.. Smith is in favor of a
new court house at lola.
In connection with other thoughts
called forth by the close of school, THE
REGISTER wishes to acknowledge its
Indebtedness to Misses. Fannie Nc
Clure and Effie Scott, the 1.-TWO Jot-
tiers" who have kept our readers post
ed on the doings and sayings of the
High School. There has been no lit.
tie drudgery connected with their
work, but that it has been faithfully
and brightly done, all can testify.
Go to McClure's and see their grand
display of
Hamburg edging and inserting,
Swiss edging and inserting,
Nansook edging and inserting,

All-over embroidery,

Mr.. w. w. Curdy, of Humboldt, has
succeeded i'm buying Mr.. Lange's stock
of clothing, and his advertisement
will be found in this issue. He informs
us that if his business seems to Justify
it he will put in stock of dry goods
here as soon as his clothing stock is
sufficiently reduced to make room for
it, and continue permanently in busi-
ness here. We hope he will realize his
number Mr.. Curdy among the resident
business men of lola.
Fort Scott Monitor, Wednesday ::
DIED-At his home in lola, DR.. j. G.
Boulson, at o'clock yesterday after
noon, after a lingering illness of
eighteen weeks. DIR. Boulson was a
young man, being only % years of age,
and his death is q sad ending to a life
which promised rich fruitage. He
was son-in-law of DIR. and Mrs. A. p.
Forster, of this city and leaves widow
to mourn his loss. The relatives here
will go to lola to attend the funeral,
which will take place this afternoon at
o'clock. under the auspices of the
knights of Pythias, of which order
the deceased was a member.
At the meeting at Humboldt last
Monday night a committee was APP
pointed to examine the court house
and report as to its condition. Mr..
Frank Kelsey was a member of the
committee, which was in town on We'd
nesday to do its work. We asked Mr..
Kelsey to furnish us with a copy of the |
report for publication. He promised
to do so, but yesterday morning we re-
ceived card from him, dated at Hum
boldt, saying he could not get copy
of it. Are the rest of the committee
trying to sit down on Mr.. Kelsey by
refusing to let him have the report, or
do the people of Humboldt prefer not
to have it publisheds
A man who doesn't make much fuss
about it, but who has nevertheless
some of the best stock in Allen county, |
is Mr.. II. F. Travis, of Elm township.
He informed us the other day that he
had just completed seven-day milk
ing test of one of his Jersey cows, and
the result was 1879 pounds of milk, or
daily average of 19s pounds. On a
similar test the celebrated Holyoke,
Mass, cow yielded only is! pounds
daily, so that, as usual, Kansas heads
the procession. And it should be re-
membered too, that the Kansas cow
made this extraordinary record on
prairie grass alone, and with no other
attention than was given the rest of
the cattle.
All those who received an invitation
to the reception given last Saturday
evening by the graduates of the High
School. were glad to accept it; so the
handsome residence of Mrs. Brewster
was crowded with young folks. The
young hostesses performed their du-
ties with becoming dignity and grace,
making each individual guest feel
himself especially welcome. The re-
suit was the unmitigated enjoyment of
all present, and the time for departure
arrived long before anyone thought it
was near. Providence has certainly
smiled on the class of 'S5, for every
thing connected with its graduation
even the weather-was unqualifiedly
pleasant.
