THE locomotive which went through
the bridge on the Wichita road, over
the Minnesota river during the floods
two weeks ago, was recovered last sun
day. 1t was found IL feet below the
bed of the river. The body of Engi-
neer McDaniels. who was killed when
the engine went down, was found eight
miles below the bridge. II
We had always supposed that the
Worlds Exposition was too big to be
loaded on to one wagon, but it was
transported through town by that
means on Tuesday. We know it was
the Worlds Exposition, because the
words were painted in plain letters on
the wagon cover. 1t wasn't opened
here. Guess may be it don't show in
small towns.
Prof. Brazier occupies column of
the valuable space in this weeks In
ter-iStdte, to prove that the editor of
THE REGISTER is a monster Of ego
tism. ingratitude and ungallantry.
Why, bless his dear old soul, there's no
need to argue the question at such
length. Ifhe had only said SO "before
he spoke" we would have admitted
every charge.
Rev. Henry Martin asks us to give
notice that there will be a Sunday
School Institute held at the Christian
church next week. The meetings will
commence on Wednesday, May Is,
and will continue over the following
Sabbath with day and evening sessions
each day. Mr.. Ingles, State Sunday
School Evangelist, will conduct the
Institute, to which all are cordially in
vited.
Messrs. Sloan & Co., of Ottumwa,
Iowa, have rented the building west
of Crigler & Coblentz harness shop,
and will open out stock of farming
The building is much too
small for the purpose, and is only oc-
cupied temporarily until larger room
can he secured. These gentlemen look
like they meant business, and we
should be pleased to see them W ork up
a good trade.
The matter of Fourth of July cele-
bration was not brought up last Mon
day evening at the meeting of the
Building and Loan Association for the
reason that the meeting was occupied
with other business until very late
hour. At the meeting tomorrow even
ing however, the matter will be broach-
ed and it is hoped that some definite
action may be had. If we are going
to have a celebration it is high time
steps were taken towards it.

T A friend who lives in the neighbor-
hood informs us that during the storm
Tuesday afternoon the lightning
struck Mr.. j. p. Remsberg's corn crib
while Mr.. r. and bis son Simon were
m the crib Smelling seed corn. The
oolt passed along a piece of timber
about three fee. from them, soaring
hem pretty badly/and scattering the
fragments of the shattered timber
around them. The same bolt also
killed one of Mr.. Remsberg's young
,alves which was standing about thirty
eet from the cribby the pasture fence,
otherwise no serious damage done. 1t
was certainly close call for Mr..
Remsberg and his son, and their es-
,ape seems almost miraculous. n
Judge Christy is happy over the
recovery of his horse that was stolen
some three months since. On
of last week the sheriff
Of Franklin county telegraphed Sher-
if Gordon that the horse had been
found near Richmond in that county.
On Friday Mr.. Christy went to Rich
mond and found the horse in possess
sion of Mr.. Brubaker, near that place,
who had purchased it from the thief.
out his purchase money Mr..
Brubaker turned over the horse with
out any objections when the Judge
proved property The thief
was captured by the sheriff
of Franklin county and is
now in Jail at Ottawa. First and last
the recovery of the horse cost Judge
Christy $40.
Street Commissioner Sawyer, says
that there is one thing he is determin-
ed to do, if the money holds out long
enough, and that is to put the town in
a good sanitary condition. In this
work he ought certainly to have the
active cooperation and assistance OF
every citizen. The town is very far
from being in good sanitary condi-.
ton at present. The removal of the
Bowlus building discovered the ground
ON which it had stood covered with
water, and it is entirely probable that
a similar condition exists under most
of the other business houses. The city
can well afford to spend all its revenue
in having such pestilence breeders re-
moved. 1t should be remembered
that this is the year for cholera, and
cleanliness is the best preventive
kn9~n.
/At last we have Building and Loan
Association, de facto. At the meeting
Monday night, although the attend
ance was not large, 100 shares were ia
ken. 1t is hoped that by tomorrow
night, the date of the next meeting,
this number may be Increased to at
least 200 shares. Thisnumber of shares
