Mr.. Frank Winchester who has been
rusticating on the farm of his uncle,
Capt. Ewing, for several months past,
returned last Tuesday night to his
home in Chicago. Mr.. Winchester is
a very pleasant gentleman and we are
sorry that he is not to remain perman-
emily with us.
The people of Humboldt must bs getting
Union.
Then let them come up to lola to-
night and hear the "Mikado," or next
Tuesday night and hear General Camp
bell on the political issues, or next
Wednesday night and hear George r.
Vending on "Saul of Tarsus." We
extend the ''ongweed" people of our
esteemed suburb a most cordial invita-
ton to attend any or all of these enter
tainments and assure them they will
feel well paid for the trouble of coming.
Last Saturday night while a lot of
the men in the "steel gang" were car
Ousing up near the bridge shops two
of them John Callahan and Chas.
Bunk, by name, became engaged in a
quarrel when the latter stabbed the
former twice in the body, one thrust
penetrating the right lung and the
other falling lower. The wounded
man was brought to Williams restau-
rant where he is now doing well, the
wounds not being considered danger
GUS. His assailant escaped and has
not yet been apprehended.
The Andrews Opera Company play
ed the comic opera MikadO, in Fair
bury, Tuesday evening. -@sNotwith-
standing the lack of advertising and
the threatening weather the house was
crowded. 1t is undoubtedly one of the
best trOupes that ever gave a perform
ance here. KO Ko kept the audience
in continual roar of laughter, and
was encored repeatedly, while the rest
of the company were fully up to the
average. Should they ever appear in
Fairbury they may rest assured that
an OVERLOOKING house will greet them.
-Fairbury (Neb.) Democrat.
The REGISTER does not conduct
political campaign on the theory that
the candidates on the opposing ticket
should be insulted and belittled. 1t
does not feel called upon to say things
that all its readers know to be false,
merely to gain a political end. It does
not consider it its duty to refer to cam
didates on another ticket in terms that
its editor would not use in private con-
with those candidates or
about them. In all these things the
REGISTER differs very radically from
its democratic contemporaries. AS to
which is the better plan, we are will
ing to let the readers of all the papers
Judge.
Somebody in last weeks C0urdnt is
troubled because lit is said" that Hon.
E. H. Funston wrote one kind of let
ter to the Leaguers and another to the
Ants. We haven't seen Mr.. Funston
since the COnrdnt appeared, but we
think we can take the liberty of say-
ing for him that any one in Allen
county who has received letter from
him bearing in any way ON o public
question is perfectly free to publish it.
If this is not satisfactory Mr.. Funston
will be at Moran Oct. 26, and the con.
letters can be placed before
him there. That is the fair and hon.
orable way to do. If you know any
thing against man, put it square at
him. Don't sneak and dodge under
''they say"
The COurdnt Ia very much worried
because l.. X. Kirk was nominated for
Senator by the republicans instead of
Slavens or Stewart, who were "5acrifi.
ced on the Altar of FunstOn's ambi-
tion." The matter would be sufficient
ly answered by merely reminding the
Courant of the old gentleman in Him
DIS who raised large family Of boys
and made an Independent fortune by
his own business. We will
add, however, that to our personal
not single member Of the
Allen county delegation to the Con-
ventiOn last Friday received any init
nation whatever from Mr.. Funston
or from any of his friends
rs to what his wishes were in the mat
Ter. Mr.. Kirk was nominated simply
because majority of the Allen county
delegates thought that Anderson coun- |
ty was entitled to fill out the remain
der of the term. Capt. Stewart him.
self was OF this opinion and told the
writer of this week before the cOnven-
lion met that if Anderson county came |
Town solid for Kirk he did not want
mis- name presented.
Mr.. C.. NJ. Simpson, (Which wuz
and his estimable family
will certainly not be left in doubt of
The esteem in which they are held
BY their old friends and neighbOrs.
Last Friday evening 30 or 40 of them
got together up town, and placing the
band at their head marched out to Mr..
residence and took it by
storm. They went to have q good time
md they "gOt what they went after"
Mr.. Simpson and his wife had no init
nation of the invasion, but they sub
nittel to the inevitable with their
grace, and were soon as
much at home as were their guests.
The informal, impromptu nature of
he gathering added greatly to the en-
Oyment of the occasion, which was
most pleasant one to all

his week, the younger members Of
