lican National Convention may not
succeed in comingtO en- agreement next
week by the time We usually go to
press. In that event the publication
of the REGISTER will be delayed until
Saturday as we want to announce at
as early a date as possible the names
of the next President and Vice-Presi-
dent of the United States.
The editor of the REGISTER returned
last Friday from his trip to Mexico
aud is again pc rched on the familiar
tripod from which he sends greeting to
all his friends. Upon the kind assur-
ance of numerous readers that the
rambling notes of the "InvasiOn" have
been perused with interest, they will
be continued until the remaining
features of the journey have been
briefly touched.
J.C. Gordon was in from Colorado
last week on business. Although still
strong in the democratic faith, John
says that his party will stand no show
in Colorado this year. The course of
the President he says, in importing a
lot Of ex-retels to fill all the Federal
offices in the State, has sickened the
resident democracy and they will not
60 to any particular trouble to secure
his reelection.
Beautiful ruchings at Rodman's.
Montainos Dime Circus exhibits here
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
next. It is q pure, moral and refined
tented exhibition. This show has more
novelties, more new sensations, new
acts, new features and No. performers

out for an experimental trip only and
has become one of the most popular
shows now travelling Admission

nouncing a grand 4th of July picnic at

on subjects to be announced hereafter.
Music will be furnished by the lola
Band and the KickapOO Club, the lola
Ministries will give an open air per-
Torrance, and there will be prize
game of base ball. lola never yet had
q celebration that was not success,
and the picnic this year will be no ex-
ceptiOn.
Best line of corsets at Rodman's.
We took occasion to visit the lola
Infirmary, an advertisement Of which
appears in this issue, the other day
and were much pleased to observe the
completeness of the arrangements for
treating and taking care of patients.
We were especially interested in the
electrical appliances, with which great
care has been taken and which are
most ingeniOusly arranged. DIR. TOz-
er, as is we'll known, gives his entire
attention to the treatment of chronic
diseases, and the success that has uni
formly attended him has given his In
Urinary wide reputation.
At the republican County Conven-
ton held at lola last September, res
olutiOn was adopted providing that the
next county convention be called on
the same plan of 1886. AS there seems
to be SOME confusion in the minds of
republicans as to what that plan was,
we copy the following extract from the
call published in 1886:
The committee recommend that
the votes be cast by ballot directly for the var
ious candidates, with the understanding that
any candidate receiving majority OF all the
votes cast, will be entitled to the entire dele
CATION from that precinct, and when any one
candidate fails to receive majority of such
vote, that the delegates he divided among the
various candidates pro rata according to the
vote received. Each township may select del
egates in any way 1t sees lit.
Good ginghams & SIC at Rodmans.
Congress has just enacted that PEN
siOns heretofore or hereafter granted to
widows of soldiers of the war of the re-
bellion shall commence at the date of
the death of their husbands. This leg
islatiOn favOrably affects all claims of
widows of the late war, which have
been filed i'm the pension office OH or
after July l, 1850, and which have
been allowed to commence from the
date of filing the claims; but will not
favorably affect the cases of such wild.
ows as were filed before July l. 1880,
and which have been allowed, pensions
having already been granted in those
cases from the date of their husbands
gives notice that In the settlement of
claims, under this law, already allow
ed, no formal application will be re.
quired and that the service of attorneys
will not be necessary. Widows entitl-
ed under said law need only write q
letter giving name, pOstOffice address
and certificate number and the claims
will be allowed with as little delay as
practicable.
Milk shake at the Nickel Plate.
The teachers at the Normal have
begun the months work with their
customary energy and zeal and this
years Institute promises to show forth
the same'goOd results that have charac.
terized all previous ones. The REGIS
TER presents its compliments to the
teachers and students in attendance
and extends them, individually and
collectively, cordial invitation to call
and see as. We shall be glad to make
their acquaintance and to initiate them
into all the mysteries of the "print
shop" We shall be particularly
glad to take their subscriptions
to a paper which publishes notices
and ssrepOrts of all their meet
ings, all the official announcements of
the County Superintendent, all the re-
ports of their schools and which we
are unable to see lowing doubtless to
our great modesty) how they can do
without. But whether they come on
business or pleasure, to pay their
money or their respects, we shall be
equally glad to see them and shall en-
deavor to make their visit pleasant.
Best styles shirtings at Rodman's.
