nuncs" is the name of a new organiza

mutual improvement of its members
in vocal music. The club has rented

They are laughing at Dick Redfield
down at Humboldt because when his
house was struck by lightning the
other evening he fled to the house of
one of his neighbors and stayed there
all night. He evidently thought that
it was himself and not the house that
the lightning was after and feared to
put his trust in the old adage about
lightning never striking twice in the
same place.
On Friday last about noon the
weary workers ut the Marble quarry
were surprised and no less pleased at
the advent of half a dozen ladies,
bringing well-filled lunch baskets.
Mesdames Kelley, Kruger, Barnhart,
Servey, Weller and Williamson, were
the ladies present, and their thought
fullness-and culinary skill-was
much appreciated by the beneficiaries
thereof.
"Our doctor would rather pass a
whiskey drinker than a cigarette
smoker" said the manager of big
life insurance com pany, "because he
believes that there are more chances
of man living with a hardened liver
than with a softened BRAIN" Our
promising young cigarette smokers
who expect to be men some day, would
do well to think on these things.
Children's Day was appropriately
celebrated last Sunday morning in the
Christian church and Sunday evening
in the Presbyterian and Methodist
churches. The churches were beauti-
fully decorated and the exercises were
very interesting. The congregations
were unusually large, especially at
the Methodist church, where many
people were unable to gain admittance.
Frank Canatsey had a little fire,
that might have been a big one, down
at his house Monday morning. 1t Or
iginated from defective fiue, and the
flames were bursting through the root
when first discovered. The neighbors
responded promptly to Franks lusty
cries and with their help the fire was
soon eXtinguished. 1t will probably
cost $40. to repair the damage.
The REGISTER is indebted to f. C..
Jacoby for an invitation to attend the
commencement at Lane University,
which was held yesterday. Mr.. Jacoby
graduates this year, having completed
his course with the highest credit.
The REGISTER congratulates him ON
the fine record he has made and pre-
diets for him an honorable and useful
career.
Mrs. l.. A. Thrasher came down from
Lawrence Thursday of last week to
spend few days with her relatives,
returning last Monday. She expects
to start with her children and Miss
Goring in few days to Philadelphia,
where Capt. Thrasher now has his
headquarters. They will probably
spend most of the summer at Atlantic
City and other seaside resorts.
Secretary Sims gives notice that the

nent board of Managers for the Kan
sas Worlds Fair exhibit which was

ticipate have completed their canvass

There is rather more than the usual
amount of interesting reading matter
on the last page of this issue. We es-
pecially direct the attention of stu
dents of political economy to the ar
ticle from the Atchison Champion on
1.-THE Errors of Socialism," 1t Is
chock full of hard sense and Of truth
that will be truth forevermore.
The young ladies of the Band may
congratulate themselves upon tie large
audience attracted by their entertain
ment Tuesday night, in spite of the
threatening weather. The program
was very successful, the May pole
drill, conducted by Miss Clara Foust,
exciting special applause.
