Kiowa Herald: Monday we were
invited by Mr.. +. f. Woodward, a
liveryman from Medicine Lodge, to
take ride L., Il side-spring buggy
made by the lola Carriage Works, Oi
lola, karsas. We believe that this
buggy is one of the very best man,lfac-
tured in the Uuited States, and it is
certainly one of the easies. riding bug
gies in existence. The firm has the
reputation of making the finest and
most durable carriages, buggies and
hacks of any establishment west Of the
Mississippi, and their immense sales
bear testimony TO their merits. We
are proud Of the lola Carriage Works
and glad to note its great success.
Our inside pages contain some UNI
usually attractive reading this week.
The eulogy recently pronounced upon
Grant by Henry Ward Beecher is
given in full and is one of the most ell
Oquent and touching tributes to the
Great Commander yet pronounced.
A verbatim report of Talmage's ser
mon of last Sunday is also given. We
expect to continue the publication of
Mr.. Talmage's sermons regularly
hereafter, and as he is acknowledged
to be one of the most, if not the most
eloquent pulpit orator of our times, we
hope this departure will meet with the
approval of our readers. On still an
other page is found very full report
Of the Walkup trial now progressing at
This trial is attracting more
attention than has ever been given
any criminal case in the State, and the
universal interest felt In the result full
ly justifies the large amount of space
occupied by our report. Taken all in
all we think to-day's REGISTER will
compare favorably with any other
weekly paper in the State.
After passing safely through all the
summer thunder storms itremained for
the last one of the season, to
DO its damage in lola. On Tues
day evening VIM. Hankins'
barn in the southeast part of town was
struck by lightning and entirely de-
stroyed. 1t was hardly a minute after
the stroke occurred till flames were
bursting from the building in all di-
rectiOns and in less than half an hour
it was mass of smOuldering ruins.
There were three horses in the barn
and it is thought that they were prob
ably stunned by the stroke as they
made no noise whatever and did not
attempt to escape. The barn burned
80 quickly that it was impossible
to save the animals or anything else
that was in it. One of the horses was
VIM. Hankins' fine thoroughbred,
Judge Lloyd, which he valued at $500.
The other two belonged to a young
man by the name of VIM. Jarrett.
They were worth at least $500, and to-
yether with a set of harness which was
also destroyed, represented all that re-
NAMED of five years of labor and saw.
ing. Mr.. Jarrett rented bottom land
from Nimrod Hankins this year, but
he flood entirely destroyed his crops
and now that his team is gone he is
again left fiat-a new illustration of
the old adage. In addition to the
above mentioned, the barn
contained about three tons of hay and
.5 bushels of corn. We understand
hat the building was not insured.
A pleasant company, among whom
We were glad to be counted, assembled
1t the residence of Hon. E. ii. Funs-
.on, last Friday night, in honor Of +.
F. Caldwell and bride, of Lawrence.
Mr. Caldwell is all old resident of Car
yle, his father still residing there, but
las spent most of his time in Law
'ence for several years past as stu
lent at the State University. He grad
lated from that institution last June,
since which time he has been connect
ID with the Lawrence Journal until
about two weeks since, when he left it
10 do some special advertising work
i0r the Southern Kansas railroad. His
bride. nee Miss Viola Mcfarland, has
been bOok-keeper in the Lawrence
Journal office for several years, and is
! very accomplished and popular lady.
The marriage took place in Lawrence
IN Wednesday evening the 2lst inst,
and Mr.. Funston took advantage Of
heir visit to the grOom's old home, to
extend to the young couple his charac-
.eristic hospitality. Those who have
that hospitality, will know
hat nothing was left undOne by the
host and hostess that could contribute
70 the enjoyment of the company.
Mr.. and Mrs. Funston have a faculty.
possessed by few, of making their
guests feel perfectly ut home, and on
,ilis evening they succeeded fully as
we'll as usual. At any rate, we failed
70 notice that any one was not sutfi-
,iently in possession ef his faculties to
10 full justice to the elegant supper
hat was spread soon after our arrival.
After refreshments, the evening was
spent as social evenings are usually
spent, and when the company finally
)roke up, it was with many thanks to
,ur Whole-sOuled host and hostess for q
pleasant evening, and with best wish
IS to Mr.. and Mrs. Caldwell for long
md happy life.
