The REGISTER IL issued one day
early this week in order that it may
not be necessary to do any work at
a II i'm the REGISTER office OH Christ
mas. Christmas comes but once Il
wear. That remark is not exactly
original with us, but we appreciate
the force of it just as fully as if it
were. And we have always cOnsid-
cred it a sort of sacrilege to do stroke
of work on that day if it could pOssi-
bly, be helped, 80 the REGISTER is
out on Thursday, and it will not be
'in" OH Friday.
While over at TT. Scott last week
Harry Thomas visited the headquar-
tiers of the fire department and found
there an outfit for fighting fire which
TT. Scott has OutgrOwn and which he
thinks lola might do well to buy. 1t
was bought about two years ago at a
cost of 800, but TT. Scott has now or
dered a new and larger apparatus,
and the old one may doubtless be had
for much less than the first cost. The
council will investigate, and if proper
terms can he made, will probably buy
the apparatus.
The "Grand Bal Masque" at the \ u.
o. L. w. Hall last Friday niggt was a
social and financial success. About
twenty-five couples appeared in masks
and there were twice as many spec
tators. Some of the masks were very
ingenious and amusing and many
were quite handsome. We heard
,.,l,,N fhaf ~
gentlemen showed more skill and
taste in the arrangement of their cos
tunes than the ladies did, which is
queer.
p. :. May be the near approach OF
leap year accounts for this strange
reversal.
We are in receipt of handsome
card from Prof. Frank Bartlett, for
merly of lola, now of Chester, Pa, an
nouncing his Ninth Annual European
Excursion to be taken in the summer
of 1892. 1t was our good fortune to
meet Prof. Bartlett i'm Venice last
summer where he was conducting Il
party of young ladies and gentlemen,
and we know from personal Observa-
ton that his parties are well taken
care of. If any of the REGISTER read
ers are contemplating trip abroad
they cannot do better than put them
selves in communication with him.
The funeral train bearing the re-
mains of Senator Plumb arrived in
Topeka yesterday Wednesday,. where
it was held while the remains were
taken to the State House, escorted by
the largest cOrtege that was ever gath
cred in Kansas upon a similar Occa-
sion. The body lay in state until five
O'Clock, in order that the thousands
of friends of the dead statesnlan who
had gathered from all parts of the
State might look their last upon the
familiar features. The funeral train
then resumed its journey to EmpOria
where services will be held and inter
ment made to-day. Farewell!
For the first time in many years
there is no "Big DOings" to he done
during the week. But with the Wood
Allen wedding Tuesday night, the
Wishard-Pickell wedding Thursday
night, the Library Entertainment Fri
day night, the Christmas festivities OF
the various Sunday Schools nearly
every night, the "grand balr' annOun
ced for Wednesday evening of next
week and the "Temple Of Fame" en-
tertanment to be given New Years
eve and night, it doesn't seem as if VT
were going to he in much danger %
actually pining away for lack of en-
tertainment.
p =. We nearly forgot the Uncle
Toms Cabin presentation which will
hold the boards on Tuesday night. II
is understood that this will be made
the swell dress occasion of the drama
tic season, several box parties having
been already arranged.
It becomes our most painful duty
this week to chronicle the death o
Mrs Nina RaraiS the wife of Mr.
