Pile here, and to the North Texas CON
ference with which they are connected.

ate devotional exercises conducted by
Rev. A. Barker.
By reason of a delayed railroad train

BOON THE REGISTER.

The REGISTER wants to see sweep
ing Republican victory in Allen Coun-
ty this fall. The surest way to win
that victory is to have the merits OF
the candidates and the issues at stake
fairly and forcibly presented to every
republican in the county 80 that each
one may be aroused toa sense Of his
personal responsibility for the outcome
of the contest. This can best be done
by placing in the hands of every re-
publican each week from now until
election day, a staunch, reliable and
enthusiastic republican paper. The
REGISTER believes it fulfils these re-
quirements and it appeals to its friends
all over the county to do what they
can within the next few weeks to ex-
tend its circulation and thus aid in the
good wolk of piling up republican
majorities. To show that we are will
ing to do our part. we will state that
the paper will be furnished to new
subscribers from now till November 5,
for 25 cents. At this low rate the
REGISTER ought to be in the hands of
every republican voter in the county
within ten days. And it will be if
those already taking it are willing to
do as much for it as it has done for
them. Boom the REGISTER, and it
will not be found unmindful OF the IA

THE discovery of gas at Fort Scott
has set Will Rec of the Monitor to
thinking and he has scared the hair
nearly off his head contemplating the
awful catastrophe that would result if
all the gas in the caverns of the earth
should by some means be set on fire.
"Would the terrible predictions of
the prophets of the olden times see q
fulfilment 2" he asks with q shudder.
"Would the Adventists don their white
robes and sing their praises to the Most
High for the last time? Would the

the Inhabitants of some distant world
point and say, "See, there goes anoth-
er shooting star?' Who knows what
might happen?" We would suggest
to Brother Rice that he repent and be
baptised. If he were not such a wick.
ed sinner he would not be fleeing when
