1t may interest the Allen County
friends of Chas F. Scott to learn that
he has sold the Lawrence Tribune in
order to accept fattering offer made
him by the Topeka Capital. Common
wealth to represent that enterprising
journal at Washington during the re.
mainder of the present session of Con-
gress. After that is over he will prob
ALLY 60 abroad for a few months but
will of course return eventually and |
enter again into Kansas journalism.
A man who has been in the newspa.
per work as long as he has hardly ever
gets away from it, and one who was
born in Kansas never seriously thinks
of making his home anywhere else.
The REGISTER wishes its old proprie-
ter happy and profitable year.
