The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1890-06-27

We had hoped to receive from our
Carlyle correspondent full report of
the dedication of the Presbyterian
church at that place last Sunday, but
as he has failed we can only say brief
~ that judging from the statements
of those who attended, the exercises
must have been very pleasant and in
teresting. Rev. W. III. Hyatt preach
ed the dedicatory sermon, and was
assisted In other parts of the service
by Rev. W. s. Wilson, pastor of the
church, Rev. ]. w. Doughty, and
Rev. s. NJ. Irwin. A statement of the
trustees was read by Mr.. G.. A. Cozine
showing that every dollar the new
church cost had been paid i'm full. 1t
Is neat, cosy and comfortable build
ind and the neighborbood has a right
to be proud of il.
Mr.. Anton Bauer, of Elsmore, a
Democrat and one who has heretofore
fought Mr.. Funston bitterly, has re-
Gently returned from Washington
where he spent several weeks visiting
relatives, and he declares that hereaf-
ter he will support Mr.. Funston. He
had ample opportunity to observe the
work that Mr.. Funston does, his de-
votiOn TO the interests of his cOnstitu-
ents and the esteem i'm which he IL
held by his colleagues, and he returns
home convinced that the Second Dis
triet cannot do better than to keep Mr.,
Funston where he is.
The State Temperance Union has
issued call for monster prohibition
meeting to he held i'm Topeka ON We'd
nesday July is, to again demonstrate
the loyalty of the people to prohibit
ton, to urge Congressional action, and
to devise ways and means to resist the
entertainments of the original package
agents. 1t is hoped that every
body who can will attend the meeting,
and it il especially urged that every
church, Sunday school and temper
ance society send delegates.
Advertisers would do well to take
note of the fact that we are scattering
about $50 extra papers through the
county every week i'm the way of sam
pie copies, and will continue to do 80
for several weeks. Our object i'm doing
this, of course, is to advertise the REG
IsTER, for we have learned from ex-
perience that the paper is it, own best
are willing TO advertise anybody else's
business, and We can make il worth q
good many times what it costs.
Capt. II. =. Moore has placed on our
table samples of raspberries that are
altogether finer than any we have
heretofore seen. There are three varie-
ties, the Turner, q red berry, the Shat
fer's Colossal, black berry and the
Marlboro, very light red berry. All
of them are of unusual size and are
firm and luscious. We wish they
could be preserved i'm alcohol and
make a part of the Kansas exhibit at
Boston.
At meeting held last Friday even
ing it was decided that Allen County
would make an exhibit at the Boston
encampment in the manner, and by
the means indicated i'm our last issue.
III. l.. HendersOn's office was designat-
ed as the place where articles intend
ed for exhibition may be left. 1t is
hoped there will be no difficulty i'm
gathering a sufficient number and va
riety of samples of our farm products.
The Baptist Sunday School had a
picnic on Wednesday that was
thoroughly pleasant affair. They
went up the river by steamer and
carriages to the grove OH Col. Jones'
place and spent the day boating, play
ing crOguet, swinging, eating and hav-
ing a good time generally. There
were about 10 in attendance, and not
the slightest mis-hap occurred to mar
the pleasure of the day.
Our Humboldt correspondent re-
ports q horrible accident which hap
pened near that town Wednesday
morning and by which some uDfOrtu-
nate lost his life. Coroner Mcdowell
went down Wednesday to look after
the case, but the remains had already
been buried and as they were man
gled beyond recognition ii was not
thought best to disinter them or hold
any official examination.
Mrs. NJ. L. Brewster, Miss Grace
and Master Willie and Miss Inez
Mack started Wednesday for Estes
Park, Colorado, where they will spend
the summer "roughing it." We IN
derstsnd they will be Joined by Prof.
and Mrs. A. :. Olin and perhaps by
other friends, later in the summer.
They will doubtless have most de-
lightful outing.
On Tuesday of this week, 4. +. COe,
a farmer living thirteen miles south
west of Yates Center, shot and killed
one of his brothers-in-law, Nathaniel
Anglin, mOrtally wounded another
brother-in-law, Adrian Anglin, killed
his wife and then, very properly, COM
mitted suicide. \ long standing feud
is the only cause given for the quad
ripple tragedy.
The May report of the State Board
of Agriculture is on our table and
contains much interesting matter.
Among other things it gives a COM
plete list of the Fairs that will be held
dates have been announced. We re-
greet to note that the date Of the Allen
County fair remains blank.
Mr.. l.. ID. Matthews, in commune
cation published elsewhere, intimates
that the REGISTER has been censured
by Diamond Lodge +. VI. Il. A., for
another correspondent to call
them Democrats. That uds pretty
tough and we don't wonder they oh
jet. We shall try not to let it happen
again.
The Senate has agreed to the con-
report ON the pension bill and
the MEASURE will probably have re-
ceived the Presidents signature and
become law by the time this appears.
1t is a liberal bill, bill which will
take every old soldier out of the poor
house and bring comfort to thousands
of homes.
A petition has been sent TO Gov.
praying for the remittance
