Reports from the central and
western parts of the State bring the
gratifying news that the wheat yield
will be enormous, unequaled in the
past history Of this section. Some of
the counties estimate the crop at from
So TO 43 bushels per acre. while the oat
crop Is aesu red and will yield from 50
to IS bushels per acre. All of which
means that Kansas is coming to her
own this year.
1t is doubtful if any party or candi-
date ever received more merciless ex-
coriation than Senator Ingalls, gives
the democratic party and Mr.. Cleve-
land in his article "pOlitical Fetch.
ism," published on another page of
this paper. And the sting of it, to the
democrats, is its literal truthfulness.
They cannot place their finger on a
single sentence and say, "This 10
false" And in what q pitiable con-
dition it leaves them!
Hon. A. Nv. Smith, Of MCPHERSON
county, speaker Of the last House of
Representatives and prominent can
didate for Governor, will address the
Republican Club next Tuesday even
ing. Having never heard Mr.. Smith
make an address we do not know
how much Of an orator he is; but with
the record and principles Of the repub-
lican party as his theme he can scarce
" fail to make an acceptable speech.
Come out and hear him.
Good ginghams & 6ic at Rodmans.
Kingsley & Wharton have traded
their grocery store for real estate in
Elk county, the other party to the bar.
gain being Mr.. r. D. Harris who took
charge of the store Wednesday morn
ing. The deal was negotiated by Ca
natsey & Brown. Mr.. Kingsley and
Mr.. Wharton are among our best bust.
ness men and our guess is that they
will not leave lola nor long remain idle.
Mr.. Harris succeeds to o fine business
and the REGISTER trusts that he will
continue to receive the patronage that
the old corner has always commanded.
On Tuesday, at lola, the Narrow
Backs of this city played the Iolas in
their first game for the season. Among
the features of the game was the fine
battery of McCloskey and White, the
close fielding of the n. B.'s,a left hand
catch by Voorhees, and the fly catches
of LETTER. Lowry made the longest
hit of the game. During the 9Th
inning, Murray had his finger broken
and Simpson, of Humboldt was taken
in as catcher. Our boys played ball
all the time which is little more than
can be said of the Iolas-Garneh Jour-
nal.
Candidates who have been making
the rounds report that they find the
people unusually slow to make pledges.
This is as it should be. In politics. as
in all other things in life, there is no
telling what q day may::.bring forth.
One may be very reluctant tomorrow
to cast his vote for the man whom he
would cheerfully support to-day.
Generally speaking it is q good rule to
hold oneself free to go to the primary
and vote for the man who is your
choice on that day, wether he may
have been your choice six weeks be-
fore or not.
The annual address to the officers
and patrons of the various school dis
Superintendent contains some excel. |
Lent recommendations. The REGIS
TER wishes to especially emphasize
the suggestions relating to the voting |
of library tax, the provision for the
employment of the yOunger.purils, and
the planting of trees in the school
house yard. Tine Importance of hav-
ing these suggestions carried out can
not he too strongly stated and we trust |
that every district in the county will |
give them careful consideration.
II is magnificent convention that is
being held at Chicago this week. The
best blood and brains and character of
every State in the Union are there rep
resented. Men are there whose names
are like household words all over the
republic and which are spoken in hon.
or from one end Of the land to the
other. Men whose valor has been test
ed on scores of battle fields,
whose patriotism has been tried in the
fire, whose wisdom and craftsmanship
are the admiration of the world. They
have gathered there under no compul-
sion, at their own expense, for no re-
ward, to fulfil political, patriotic duty.
1t is a magnificent convention.
The Board of Trade reception to the
Normal on Thursday Of last week was
glowing success, red-hOt success we !
might say. Indeed as q warm recep-
ton it is probably entitled to the Their
mometer. Everybody seemed to be
in melting mood, and although there
were many heated conversations we
failed to hear of any GOODNESS coming
between the friends thus engaged. 1t
was thought for a time that ice cream
and lemonade might change these close
relations, but they were quickly put
down, without having created q breath
Of difference. The Kickapoos, Decom-
ing warmed up to the occasion, con-
tributed much to the harmony of the
evening. Taken all In all the recep-
ton is one that will be long remem-
bered for its equality of condition
among all present, for the perfect
community Of feeling on the part of
both guests and hosts and for its COM
