We neglected last week to note the
return of Mrs. VIM. Davis and daugh-
ter, who have spent q very pleasant
winter in Washington, D. C. Mr..
Davis and family are now living at
their old home in this city, Mr.. Davis
having rented some land adjoining
town to which he will devote his
leisure hours.
The ladies composing the relief COM
mittee of the w. r. C. are Mrs. w.
Scott, Mrs. A. J. Clark aud Mrs. L 7.
Thayer, and all applications for relief
should be made to them. 1t is the rule

The Moore house, near A. J. McCar-
ley's, was burned down early yester-
day morning. the fire starting from the
stove pipe. The house was occupied
by Chas. Duffner. but none Of the
family was at home when the fire
started. Mr.. Port happened to be
passing at the time and thanks to his
exertiOns most OF the household goods
were saved.
A number Of farmers have asked us
to suggest that every man in the
country burn of all the grass on his
farm; burn out the fence corners and
send fire over every spot that would
be likely to harbor chinch bugs. 1t is
reported that immense number of these
pests have survived the winter and are
likely to do damage unless radical mea-
sures are taken to destroy them.
My stock of wall paper and ceiling
decorations is now about all in, and
I invite all those expecting to paper

On complaint of Carey Rousch and
others, action was taken before Judge

Little Fred Allen met with a seri-
Gus accident last Sunday. He was sit
ting on Mr.. Welch's porch with his
head resting on the ledge of the open
window, when the heavy sash fell
striking him squarely on the forehead.
The blow knocked the boy senseless,
and it was some time before he was
restored to consciousness. He still
has a very sore head but no serious in
jury is feared.
The committee appointed to prepare
publican Club next Tuesday evening,
secured the promise of an address from
Hon. l.. U. Humphrey. Of Indepeud-
ence. A letter was received from Mr.,
II. yesterday, however, stating that an
unexpected call to Topeka would make
it impossible for him to be with us.
But the meeting will be held anyway,
and as officers are to be elected for the
ensuing term large attendance is de-
sired.
With its accustomed courtesy the
REGISTER will permit municipal Vo-
ter" to have 1.-The last word" SO indis-
pensible to every woman's peace Of
mind. Her charge that the city ordi-
nance forbidding minors to frequent
the billiard halls has been frequently
disregarded and that during much Of
the past year they have not been run
in decent and orderly manner is true,
as the REGISTER has already pointed
out. And if these conditions are not
to be changed we perfectly agree with
Municipal Voter" that no license
should issue.
The Constitution and Bylaws of
the lola Republican Club will be found
in fall on our last page. These have
been written out with some care, and
We would suggest that republican
central committeeman in other pre-
ciHcts in the county preserve this copy
as they may find it useful in organic
ing the club that we hope to zee form
ed in every voting precinct by the
time the campaign is fairly under
way. The REGISTER will chearfuiiy
publish tbs call for meeting for this
purpose at any place in the county
whenever desired.
