A committee from Humboldt were
in the city last week trying to induce
the managers of the Parsons 6 Pacific
1t is reported that they gave the offici-
ais to understand that they owned the
township east OF that town and unless
Humboldt was made a point on the
line they would defeat the propositions
for aid in any of the townships east of
that place.-PursOns Eclipse.
In view of the interest that seems to
have been awakened by the"Children's
Questions" published four weeks ago in
the REGISTER, Rev. Scott informs
us that he is preparing series of Sun
day evening discOurses i'll which the
questions will be answered from the
standpoint of the latest and most adj
vanccd theological opinion. The first
of these discOurses answering "What
is Spirit?" Will be given a week
from next Sunday night.
that K. 7. Dunbaugh, a former citizen of this
place, died last Sunday at GlenwoOd Springs,
Colorado. The old trouble, rheumatism, was
the cause of his death We have heard no fur-
Their PARTICULARS linton.
The REGISTER publishes the above
with sincere regret. Mr.. Dunbaugh
was one of the most genial, generous
and whOle-soueld men it was ever our
pleasure to know and it is one of the
unaccountable things immature that he
should be stricken down in the prime
of his manhood.

We are sorry to record the the death
of Thomas Langley which occurred at
his home in this city last Friday at
1925 o'clock p. NJ. He was 81 years Of
age and his death was the result of an
attack of fever, following long period
of feeble Health. The deceased has
been for many years superintendent of
the cemetery in which office he has
been very faithful and efficient. He
was much respected by the entire COM
munity, and his funeral Oh Saturday
was largely attended.
The action of the Wichita road in
taking off the night passenger trains
and two freight trains has given rise to
a good deal of complaint. The change
makes it particularly incOnvenient for
those wishing to come in from the east
ern part of the county to lola. This is
one of the occasions when a Board of
Trade would be of immense advantage.
It might not be able to make the road
put on more trains, but it might be
able to influence it to permit the ones
that do run to carry passengers and to
run OH such schedule as to be of some
use to us.
Mr.. Chas. Barth has favored us re-
Gently with copies of Calcutta (India),
papers sent him by his sister who is in
that city with Lord Dufferin. the Eng
lish Governor Of India. The papers
are large, with wider columns than is
with us, and contain great
deal of reading matter. A notable diff
ference between them and American
papers is that they use no head lines, to
attract attention to matters of special
interest, and there is no attempt at |
display in the advertisements, they |
being set for the most part, in type lit |
tie larger than that used in the body Of
the paper.
