The Humboldt 0nion ,s&ys that L
w. KeplingeE1s really married, the
fortunate lay beipe 4 Miss woolfkill,
Of Wya9aStte. I'VE have always con.
sidered "Kep" one OF the incorrigibles,
and 1his unconditional surrender after
sSmany years of valiant struggle, is
rather discouraging to amateur o. BIS,
like-some we might name. Howev-
|er, here's to his health and his BRIDES,
and may they live long and happily.
P. s. We will distribute the cigars
among the boys as soon as they are
received.
I'm spite of the blustry weather quite
a numerous company, assembled at the
residence of Rev. E. s. Miller Tuesday
evening i'm response to the invitation
Of the Presbyterian ladies and spent
Several hours most pleasantly. There
was no formal program, but Misses
May Ewing and Maude Richards re-
sponded very acceptably to calls upon
them for recitation while Misses Ma.
bel Clark and Lola Smeltzer and a male
quartette furnished music enough.
These little sOcials are proving very
pleasant and will doubtless be kept up
so long as the cold weaher lasts. =
In order that our local space may
not be be too much encroached upon,
we find ourselves obliged to request
our county correspondents to conflne
their letters to matters of local news.
In order to get the news from all parts
of the county we have been obliged to
secure the services of large number
of correspondents, and in order that all
the letters may be published and still
leave a little space for the editor to fill,
it is necessary that each letter be brief.
Please remember that the EDITORS chief
difficulty is not to find enough to "fill
up" his paper, but to find room for the
multitude of things that clamor for ad-
mission to his columns. Tell the news
and nothing but the news, is good
motto, and one which we hope our ac-
commodating correspondents will be
guided by.
Patterson Brothers received another
car load of furniture this week. They
manage to use good many goods in
some way in spite of the hard times.
Judge Brewer, of the United States
circuit court has rendered a decision
(which will be found in full
on our inside pages), ION the cele-
brated Walruff case, in which he de-
cides in Walruff's favor, holding that
the state cannot prohibit anyone from
brewing beer unless it has first paid
him the value of the property thus
rendered useless. The decision is
based upon that part of the fourteenth
to the constitution which
provides that no person shall be de-
prived of life, liberty or property with
out due process of law. The judge
holds that the use of property is an in
adjunct of the property itself,
and that to deprive one of the use is
equivalent to depriving him Of the
The decision is very care
fully written and attorneys generally,
30 far as we have heard an expression
Of opinion, regard it as good law. The
case will probably be carried to the
supreme court and its final determine
ton will be waited with interest.
The truest charity is that which
helps people to help themselves. In
looking after the poor. the ladies of the
Relief Association will Of course learn
Of anyone who is willing and able to
work, yet cannot find work to do, and
the REGISTER would suggest that
those having work to be done consult
with the ladies, and employ those who
most need employment. There is GER
tainly enough work IN town to furnish |
to all who are able to
work and who are really needy, if it
we're properly distributed. 1t will also
be the truest kind Of charity for those
who are able, to hire work done which |
they ordinarily do themselves, such ~
The care of horses, COWS, etc. It would |
relieve one Of disagreeable work at .
slight expense, and at the same time
help some one else to keep from want. |
We know one gentleman in town who
has kept a family from need during |
the winter by just such q course. He
will not haye as much money in the
spring AZ he would have had if he had
done his own work, but he will have
more satisfaction and peace Of mind
than the money could possibly give
