LOCAL MATTERS.

The Attica Ledger gives the Wallace
shows nearly column "send-off'
from which we judge that they must
be of mnch more than usual merit. 1t
beginsits report with the following
paragraph:
Hwas a great day for Attics. One of the best
railroad shows in the country-Wallace's-
rived Monday morning from its winter.quarters
and gave the first public exhibition of the seas
on The streets OF the city were jammed full
Perry street was mass of humanity and IL is
within bounds to say that this thoroughfare
never in its history ever saw more brilliant
spectacle than was presented by the forenoon
parade OF this big show. The horses were pic
lures. One hundred and seventy-five of them
and every one beauty. Ii was the common re-
seen anywhere such an exhibition of splendid
horse-fesh. Wallace 4 Co take great pride in
their horses and the magnificent animals bear
out their boast that they have the best lot OF
horses Of any travelling show in the world.
The date of the concert announc-
ed to be given next Monday eve
ming, August 4, at: the Carlyle
church, has been changed to Fri
day evening, August 8. The pro-
gram will be given mainly by the
family of Rev. w. S. Wilson, assisted
by visiting friend from Illinois and
perhaps by one or two of our lola mu-
sicians. The proceeds are to 60 into a
fund to be used for furnishing the
church.
Census Enumerator Henderson has
at last received permission to make
his population figures public, and ac-
cordingly announces that he has found
in lola city 1866 people, and in the
township outside the city 1854. This
shows a gain in the city of 15S, and in
the township, of u, over the assessors
census taken March l. If we could
only keep on growing at that rate for
the next several years.
We note with considerable satisfac-
ton that Frank Cease, formerly of
county, got ingloriously left in his
candidacy for member of the Oklaho-
ma Legislature. He left this county
owing us for several years subscrip-
tion to the REGISTER and the satisfac-
ton we express over his defeat arises
from the assurance it brings that no
man who beats newspaper out of its
hard earnings can ever hope to achieve
any honorable distinction.
A. HI. Rosenberger authorizes us to
say on his responsibility, that the book
of Family Bible Readings" of which
mention was recently made in these
columns, is compiled with sole refer
ence to enforcing the peculiar tenets
of the Seventh Day Adventists. He
says he has examined the book care
fully and thinks it only just that the
public should be Informed as to its
true character.
Our third party prohibition friend,
L. n. Funston, is another one of the
men whose names were used by the
Peoples convention without leave or
license, Mr.. Funston doesn't authorize
us to say it exactly that way, but we
suspect the truth is that he thinks
third party is lonesome enough, and
he doesn't want to lose himself entire
ly by joining fourth.
The young ladies band was out ser
enading last Friday evening, and on
Monday evening went down to the
Grove and played an hour or two to
the very considerable audience that
followed. The young ladies certainly
do excellent work for the short time
they have been practicing.
Contrary to general expectation the
fax is proving to be very heavy and
is yielding excellently. The average
yield the county over viii hardly be
less than eleven bushels. 1t is being
marketed rapidly and is bringing lots
of money into the country.
