\ Little Disfigurcd But Stiil Etc.
Mound C5y Clarion: In Il fire
which swept over lola on the night of
October 81, destroying much of the
business portion of the city, the REG
IsTER Office was utterly destroyed.
The paper appeared last week, how
ever. looking Il little "rockyn compar-
ed with its usual handsome appear
ance, but it will appear this week
looking brighter than ever. We eX-
tend sympathy to Charlie Scott, and
would gladly share with him our
pocketbook, but that wouldn't he of
any help.
The Least Are Sometimes The Greatest.
CGay CCEtCr Dispatch: The lola
REGISTER office was burned a week
ago Saturday night, nothing but the
files and account books being saved.
Mr.. Scott, its owner estimates his loss
at 81 800 net, besides the insurance of
81 500 on the paper and 5000 on the
building. He was in the country
when the fire occurred and knew moth
ing of it until sunday morning. By
Tuesday he had been 10 st. Louis,
boughta new outfit and WAS home to
vote. The paper appeared as usual
last week from the Humboldt CajoH
office. Everybody will sympathize
with Mr.. Scott in his loss: but his
energy and pluck will sOon replace
II all. except the Kansas book shelf
scrap books etc. which were the
pride of their owners heart. Over
the loss of these he is inconsolable. - -
\ Neighbor'S Good Words.
.Tordn Herald: The lola REGISTER
appeared On time last week not with
standing the fire. 1t was printed in
the Humboldt Union Office and con-
sidering all the circumstances, came
out i'm good shape. Mr.. Scott has
bought bran new office. and the ma
terial was expected to have been in
lola last Monday, and this week the
paper will come out in finer shape
than ever. Charley" has also pur
chased the opera house and will have
the finest Office room in this part OF
the State. SO much for pluck, enter
prise, and little Insurance.
ON Time Though the Heavens Fall.

fire which destroyed the lola REGIS
TER office entirely, it came out on time

Mr.. Scott.
The Devil Also Escaped,
Norton Republican,: The lola
REGISTER came just as usual despite
the fact that there was nothing left Of
the office after the fire but the editor
and foreman. The paper was run
from neighbours PRESS
1t Never Lost Its Spirits.
Monitor: The lola REGISTER, al
though slightly disfgured, is still in
the ring. 1t is safe 10 predict that

beauty Of face rs well as It's natural
vivacity of spirit.
One OF che Best.
Blue Mound SIN: ChaS. +. Scott,
has the sympathy of the entire press
ofKansas over the loss ofhis paper, the
REGISTER, by fire few days since
Mr.. SCOTS paper was one of the best
local papers published in Kansas, and
it is TO he hoped that Phoenix like it
will rise from its ashes.
Thanks, But Es Doesn't Want 1t.
laurence Journal: The lola REG
IsTER has not yet gotten itself togeth-
or sufficiently to get into a home Of its
own, but promises to be all right next
week. Although every case was
burned and every piece of type in the
Office melted the paper never missed
an issue. BY the way, Charley Scott
is the only man so far mentioned the in
State for its next secretary. We hope
no other man will be mentioned. We
would like to make it by reclamation
in the next State convention.
And the New Outfit is a Daisy.
PlcGsdRtOn O6scrrcr: The lola
REGISTER Office was burned last
week, nothing being saved except the
files and subscription books. Editor
Charlie Scott Immediately purchased
a new outfit, but while it was coming
he got out his paper rom the office Of
the Humboldt Union. His loss was
about $1,000, with 81 800 insurance.
Tell Evans and w. J. Evans, mer-
chants. and brothers to Harry Evans
of this city, were also heavy losers.
The Obserrer extends its sympathy to
Bro. Scott in his great loss.
