no race. He is at Neosho Falls this
week and will probably pace to-day.
Mr.. Irving fears that he has not yet
entirely recovered from the ':doping''
he received at Nevada three weeks
ago.
Mrs. l.. Hobart and son Harmon,
went to Kansas City this week to at
teud the Fair. They will probably 60
on through to Illinois to visit friends
before returning. The trip is taken
mainly as a present to Harmon who
attained his majority few days ago,
and who, until this journey was un-
dertaken, has never been outside of
Allen county.

east of town, drew the capital prize, q
silver set of - pieces, OH Friday night
at the Wizard Oil concert, and on
night the same man drew
the second prize, another lot of silver.
A man with luck like that has no
business on a farm. He ought to be

socially and financially. Miss Maude

The brief but entertaining program,
while various games and social con-
occupied the remainder of
the very pleasant evening.
A. C. Gilmore was detected in the
act Ofstealing a gold watch from Frank
Letters store on Monday afternoon
and was arrested and taken before
Judge Shelter. He waived prelimi-
nary examination and was bound over
10 appear before the District Court.
His bond was fixed at $50, in default

where he now lies. 1t is a sad case.
rhe old man is probably not In con-
1ition, mentally, to be responsible for
what he does. And yet the commun-
ty must protect itself i'm some way.
The probability is that action will be
aiken soon to have a guardian APP
pointed to look after him and his
affairs.
Our real estate men tell us there is a
greater demand now for farms, both
rom buyers and renters, than there
has been for several years. The de-
nand comes not from outsiders who
want to come in and locate, but from
hose who already live here. A great
many inquiries are from men who have
)een renters heretofore and who now
want to buy land of their own, while
n other cases men who already own
and want to buy more. They want
aw land mainly, and say that they
IAN pay for it with one::or two crops OF
lax. One real estate dealer says he
,ould rent 80 farms IL he had them, as
Inquiries come, not only from men
Who own no homes butalso from those |
Who already have one farm but want |
o run two. 1t is safe to say that there
8 no other business in Allen county

An agent for the REGISTER who
Elsmore township last
week reports that he found it impossi-
lie to secure subscription from any
nan who had been u Lacquer. This |
s a good illustration of the punish
nent that is often visited on a..newspa- |
,er for speaking the truth and ex-
PRESSING its honest sentiments. Eight |
ears ago the REGISTER told these |
nen that their case was hopeless, that
he law was dead against them, that |
hey were wasting time and money |
n trying to hold possession of that to
which they had no legal claim, and
dvised them to drop their fight and
,uy the land. Time has made good
very word of what we then said. The /
ourts have held steadily against /
hem, they have lost their land and
wasted their time and money. Eight |
ears ago they could have bought
he land for five or six dollars an acre.
hey have been compelled after pay
ng for it many times over in attorneys
ees and costs, to buy it at ten and
welve dollars an acre. The REGIS
Err did not make the law under the
peration of which their case was
1st, neither was is the judge or the
Try VIII ich interpreted that law and
D was i'm no way responsible for the
esult. 1t simply told them what the
wv was and what it's Interpretation
rould be aud gave them advice which,
it had been followed, would have
,ved them thousands of dollars and
ears of worry and trouble. And yet
MS paper is boycotted, while other
apers which encouraged these men,
ther by silence or by,actiye advocacy,
, go ahead and waste their money!
