The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1886-09-17

The sheriff of Douglas county distin'
guished himself last week by confisca-
ting and destroying 5000 bottles OF
beer that he found in the different re.
freshment booths on the Bismarck
Fair Grounds. This would imply that
there must be authority somewhere to
''seize and destroy the offending ele-
ment," notwithstanding Col. AnthO-
ny's vehement avowal to the contrary
L. H. 3rubaker is fairly settled at
the Shawnee Agency and Is prepar.
ing to enjoy life. He writes. "FOr.
ward the REGISTER to this place; my
wife says she will not stay here with
out it," We appreciate this additional
evidence that no well regulated family
even though demOcratic-that has
once got used to the REGISTER can
think of keeping house afterwards
without it.
Those of our subscribers who con-
clude to act on the suggestion made in
another place concerning extending
the circulation of the REGISTER, are
requested to forward the names they
may obtain at once. OF course the
rate offered means cash, but the one

SO the papers may be started promptly.
A note from Mr.. Allan Mcdonald
informs us that his fine Clydesdale
stallion, Lord William, took the second
premium at the Inter State Fair, the
first premium being taken by an i'm
ported horse that had taken nine first
premiums in Scotland. Owing to the
train being late, MIR. Mcdonald had to
hurry his horse into the ring without
grooming or feeding him; otherwise
he thinks he would have taken the
first prize. The second is not bad, how
ever. and Mr.. Mcdonald is to be con.
graduated.
The report comes t. us. and 1t IL reliable too,
that lola people are circulating the story that
"Miss Mary Chamberlain is an unDeliever In
the Christian religion" Great God! she has
cOpal church for years. and is now member
Of the Presbyterian church OF Humboldt
Union.
Don't get 'ox-cited," brethren. lola
is not circulating any such stories. lola
holds Miss Chamberlain in as high es.
TEEN as Humboldt does; in too high
esteem, to be willing to have her placed
in a position to be worried to death by
the thousand and one complaints and
disputes that are always finding their
way to the Office of the Superintendent
of public instruction.
AS we opined, the G.. A. Z. boys
came marching home from Chanute
last Saturday with the $50 prize bun
ting. The flag was to be given to the
Doef l. n 1,;nn ont tho 1orOoat nerconfQ Op
of its membership. McCOok and two
other Posts, had 100 per cent; so the
matter was determined by lot and for
tune favored us. And every body
seemed to think it was right, and best
that it should be so. AS the Chanute
Times says: "The lola boys evidently
came to take the flag, or anything else
they could lay their hands on, for they
brought their Band, Flag, Eagle and
cannon"
That wicked composition made us an-
noance the Carlyle church social ut
Hon. E. III. Funston's, for last Satur-
day evening instead of last Tuesday
evening. Nevertheless, by dint of in
dustrious effort on the part of those
interested, little harm was done. as the
attendance on Tuesday evening was
very good. A party, ''of which We
were whom" went out from lola, and
certainly enjoyed themselves thorough
ly, as all present seemed to do.
Among the many old friends and
neighbOrs whom we met was Mr..
Archibald Adams, who has only re-
Gently returned, with his family, from
Fort Worth, Texas.
