STOKS-The trading in the stock market
this morning was on more acJlVe
scale than that of the past few days,
but there was general expectation OF
better bank statement than usual OF late,
and the traders were as a consequence
more disposed TO take the bull side, ana
a cessation of hammering operations in the
late active specialties was changed
in desire TO cover some OF the outstand-
ing shorts. The general list displayed the
usual lack of feature and in fact a 1uctua-
ton of q per cent. was exceptional today.
THE market closed dull but steady to firm
AT small farctions better than the opening
prices. Sales GAIL shares. Quotations

A Gathering of Little Folks.

Last Tuesday being the closing day
Of our Public schools, the rooms
taught by Miss Harris and Miss
Thayer united in a public exercise.
1t is needless to say that the exercises
of both rooms were not only interest
ing, but showed that the children had
received careful training from their
teachers, and their little songs and
declarations were received with the
highest favor by the parents and
friends present.
At the close of the literary program,
Miss George English stepped forward
and in a neat little speech, presented
to Miss Harris handsome breastpin
from the children of her room. After
the exercises closed i'm the school
building, the teachers took their pu-
pills to the home of Miss Harris where
they were served from one of Mr.
Harris's new freeZers with ice cream
and cake. AS there was over one hum
dred children present it can be Inn
agined that Miss Thayer and Miss
Harris had their hands full in caring
for so many little folks. To the chill
dren it was a festal time, and they
were as happy as larks. After sever
al hours spent with their kind teach
ers, they left for home, carrying with
them pleasant recollections of the
closing hours of school.

Chicken Cholera.

IfMr. Kelley will see that bis fowls
are clear of lice, keep their premises
dry, sweet and clean, and strengthen
his birds by giving two table spoons
of Perry Davis Pain Killer in each
gallon of drinking water, we think
he will have no more cholera. A
good and convenient torch for burn
ing the hen house, and safely, Is
made by tying wooden cloths on
stick, and saturating with coal oil.
When lighted you can 90 over every
part of the house III a few minutes;
and, with little caution, there is no
danger, if your house is covered with
lumber. You can choose u damp
morning and to make surety, doubly
sure, have bucket of water handy.
HOPE Mr.. Kelley will try the above
and report through the REGISTER.
Always see that the hens have n
supply Of dry earth to waliow in, and
lime, sulphur and gravel where they
can get at it, and our word for it, you
will have little cholera.

PIANOS AND ORGAN.


In these seven townships therefore
which are almost exclusively agricul-
tural 1.-THE city of lola is not included
in the figures for lola township and
which may be taken as fairly repre-
senting the entire county, we find
more than twice as many pianos and
organs, and nearly twice as many
buggies, in 1890 as there were in 1885.
That Is to say, in five years during
which they were being ground into
the dust, eonspired against and plum
pered on every hand, reduced praeti-
cally to o condition of serfdom, in
these five years the farmers of Allen
county have doubled their stock of ar
tieles that are everywhere regarded
as luxuries. Does not this fact prove
conclusively that the men who have
declared that our farmers have been
getting poorer every year, have SLAM
dered them? Do men buy pianos or
organs or buggies while their families
are suffering for bread, or with money
which they ought to pay to creditors?
Nobody will make such q claim. The
fact is that i'm spite of the depression of
the past five years, during which ag-
riculture has suffered along with
every other interest, the farmers of Al
len county, by hard work and thrift,
have slowly but steadily bettered
their condition. They have reduced
or discharged their debts, and have
found money to spare to provide for
the culture and add to the comfort
and pleasure of their families. No
body needs to worry about the far
mers of Allen county. The men who
have been able to make so good q
showing through the tough times of
the past five years, do not ask for any,
body's commiseratioD. Give them five
years of corresponding good times and
they will get rich.
