Mr.. Young also loans money ut the
very lowest rates of interest.
One of our leading hotel men ia ne.
gOtiating for the purchase of the Bro
sier building for the purpose of con-
verting it into a hotel. The building
is well suited for hotel purposes and
we hope the trade will be made.
The Democrat does not claim to have larger
circulation than any other paper In the county,
but we do want to say that IL our list increases
as rapidly for the next three months as it has
with the oldest of 'em. Business men, make a
note of this .-Democraf April q, lsSj.
Three months are past. Show up.
M. G. Sears, charged by Andrew
Kiefer with assault with deadly
weapon, had his preliminary examin-
alton before Judge Harris last Tues
day. He made no defense and was
bound over to appear in the District
Court.
At the last meeting of the Building
and Loan Association last Monday
night, $500 was bought by r. w. Duffy
at IS per cent. premium, and 500 by
c. E. Merwin at the same price. Nom
ey is evidently not in as much demand
as it was last spring.
In talking with our old neighbOr G.
G. Null, of Carlyle, on Wednesday, he
told us that in his judgment his town.
ship would have more corn than it had
raised any year since 1877. He says
that one of his neighbOrs estimates his
crop at SO bushels per acre.
Don't he in hurry to discount your
trade dollars. If the Senate amend
ments to the Morrison surplus resolu-
ton are concurred in by the House,
they will be received at par by the L.
S. Treasury for period of elk months
after the passage Of the act.
NJ. c. and Alva Sears, Frank Schon-
lex and Lee Anderson were convicted
in Judge Harris court last Friday, of
unlawful assembly. NJ. G.. Sears was
fined $40 and costs and the other de-
| PENDANTS S. and costs each. An appeal
was taken to the District Court.
Chas. Null brought to this office
yesterday sample ear of his corn
which is certainly large enough and
full enough to indicate q good yield.
Our opinion is that when "the corn is
gathered in" great many people will
be surprised at the quantity thereof.
We see by the Humboldt papers
that "Old Barr" has gone to Harper,
and has been succeeded in the Nickel
Plate by +. n. Vert. If Vert knows
as well how to cater to the wants of
men as he does to the wants of beasts,
his success as hotel manager is as
sured.
Two letters that were written almost a
halfworld apart-One in Venice and the
other in San FranciscO-have reached
us but are crowded out of this issue.
The REGISTER considers itself favored
in having friends in so many and ut
such interesting portions of this ter
raIueous globe.
A number of the friends Of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. w. Anderson called on them
Tuesday evening and spent several
hours most enjoyably. Among those
present were Mr.. and Mrs. G.. III. De-
Clute, Mr.. and Mrs. DR.. Clifford, MIR
and Mrs. J. l.. Swap, and others whose
names we did not learn.
Owing to the rain on Tuesday even
ing the lecture on Possibilities"

Baptist church by Rev. w. M. Parr,

til Saturday evening. There will be
no admission charged and all are cor
daily invited to attend.
The Commissioners had special
meeting and ordered the bond cleo

Kansas. They cordially invite their

menbers of the q. A. r. Post to be

afternoon and evening.
So for as we have been able 20 OBJ
serve the Anderson bill has not been
brought up in the Senate at all, and
as Congress will probably adjourn this
week, our hopes for settlement of our
land difficulties by legislation musr
again suffer eclipse. There seems
nothing for it but to submit to the slow
grinding of the courts.
As the Democrat and REGISTER have stopped
sparring at each other about the new hotel after
both deciding that it would he built this year,
we would now say that we have learned FROM
reliable parties that it will not be built unity
next year.-COrdM. Il
We learned the same thing several
weeks ago but desisted from saying
anything for fear the "reliable parties>l
might change their minds again.
Capt. P. H. Moore informs Us tina
he expects soon to sink the gas well
on his farm (which we have heretofore |
hdescribed) as much deeper as may be |
necessary to obtain strong flow OIL
gas. and then tube it and utilize it. |
He is confident that at very slight
expense he can obtain sufficient gas to |
supply his house with fuel and lights.
We cheerfully respond to request
to give notice that there will be fes- !
