| An original package man was i'm lola

1t appears that he failed to find any
one. We understand that one or tive
persons were suggested to him al

ness; but on looking up their mora
character he found that the house was
likely to get but q small share of the
proceeds of the sales, and so concluded
not to employ them. II do not ex.

something" he said, "but I do want
one that will let the house have lit

less wise. A man who has so little
regard for the good opinion of the pnb-

undertake to run an original package
saloon i'm lola, would certainly count
stealing from his employers small
crime.

Pdrson Peterkin: I always feel
sorry for the man who, having failed
to get an Office, falls to fighting the
man who might have given 1t to him
but did not. He may be ever so hon.
est i'm the fight; but somehow it is
hard to make the people believe it.
They insist on thinking that if he had
got the office there never would have
been any fight, and that has tenden-
cy to break the force of it. Then ii
must be mighty humiliating for man
to know that everybody is saying, 80,
it isn't worth while to pay attention
to anything he says; we all know
what ais hm."
Fred Funston was i'm town Tuesday,
having returned Saturday from a four
weeks outing in Colorado. He has de-
cided to adopt journalism as his pro-
fession, and will probably find his
first job on the Hutchinson NeWs.
Fred. is eminently fitted for newspa-
per work, being a close observer, a
ready and picturesque writer, having
level head and capacity for eighteen
hours work day. We are glad he IL
going into the business and predict for
him gratifying success.
Mr.. Frank Olmstead who is up from
Hot Springs on visit to his home in
Usage, was i'm town Saturday and
called on the REGISTER. He has done
well i'm Arkansas, as he is now the
manager of one of the largest retail
groceries i'm Hot Springs, doing bust
ness of about 5000 a month. He
says that the ex-Rebels there have a
thorough respect and admiration for
Senator ingalls,. Not that they en-
dorse what he says, but that:they like
his "nerve."
Last Friday about noon, as the sec
ton hands were crossing the river
bridge going west, an engine came
around the bend from the west and
met them on the bridge. The engin-
eer did not notice them In time to
stop, and the engine was within two
rails lengths of the men, when they
jumped to one side and swung them
selves outside the bridge by the iron
braces. The hand car was entirely
demolished, but fortunately no one
was hurt.
Union: Thursday afternoon the
first nine of leila ball players came
down to playa game with the "Kids
of Kalamazoo" at this place. 1t was
the first game of the season for either
club, and 1t was very evident to the
spectators, as one stranger remarked
that SIT was supremacy rocky" The
boys need plenty of hard practice OH
both sides, and our team especially
needs it. The score was 10 to ID in
favor of lola.
This term of Court has been tough
one for the Humboldt dive keepers.
Two of them "came down" before the
gun went off, and the one who stood
trial got double dose for his temerity.
AS they sit in the shade of the bars
this glorious Fourth of July, 1t is
hoped that they will study well the
lesson that liberty does not mean
license and that freedom can only be
rightfully demanded by those who
obey the law.
Oklahoma Journal: An interesting
scrap took place in Judge Sweeney's
court yesterday. Judge Brown as
defendants attorney i'm the replevin
suit sought to enlighten the Judge on
certain legal points, when he was in
terrupted by Asa Jones. Jones con-
tinued his interruption until Brown
lost his patience and reached over
and slapped him. He was fined one
dollar for contempt of court.
