An old man named Wheeler came
to the county clerks office Monday
morning searching for traces of his
son \. J. Wheeler, from whom he
had heard nothing for seven years.
He had driven in a wagon all the way
from Indiana and had come here be-
cause his son had once written him
that he owned some land in this cOun-
ty. While Mr.. Eckley was looking
for the name OH the tax rolls, VIM.
Cunningham came into the office, and
upon being informed of the matter on
hand said he knew \. J. Wheeler
well, that he used to live i'm Humboldt
and is now in Burlington. The old
man was overjoyed at the news and
gave way to some Oft the most eXtrava-
gaut demonstrations. 1t is safe to
say that his horses were hard pushed
between here and Burlington.
MIR. Chas \. StinsOn and Miss So
phia Arnold were married at i;S0 yes
terday afternoon at the residence of
the brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. II.
Il. Arnold in Carlyle township, Rev,
w. ). Wilson officiating. This is a
peculiarly happy marriage as both
young people are very highly esteem
ed in the community where they re-
side. The bride has been successful
school teacher and possesses much
more than ordinary attractiveness in
many ways, while the groom is
handsome, manly and industrious
young farmer. They certainly begin
life under favorable stars. After Wis
iting with relatives in Greenwood
county for a few days, they will re-
turn to Carlyle to live, Mr. StinsOn
having rented his fathers farm. The
REGISTER extends its best wishes.

were largely attended by sympathiz-
ing friends. The deceased has been
a resident OfIIansas since 1857. She

son, one of the signers of the Declar-
alton of Independence, and one of
the Judges of the Supreme court.
McCook Camp mess kit went over
to Wichita Monday i'll charge of John
Walters and John Richardson. The
following old soldiers and sons follow
ed it the next day: Jos. Lynch, Il. :.

Clure, ir., John Thomas, II. w. viii
liams, c. G. Null, Rob't Cook, w.
Greene, Gabe Warren, VIM. Huck,
George Eldridge. a great many
more would have gone if the reunion
had been held later. Augustus too
early. We hope the "Old boys" will
have great big time.
Saturday night was so cold that ice
cream was not specially in demand,
and so rainy that but few of the boys
came out, and so the small number of
Sons of Veterans who did come to the
Camp meeting had a hard time dis
posing of the five gallons of ice-cream
that had been provided. They labor
ed heroically with it, but were finally |
obliged to go out and get the band |
boys to help them out. The band .
boys are mighty good crowd to call
in in an emergency of that kind.
When John Walters was about
ready to start to Wichita Monday |
morning with the Post mess kit, he
made the alarming discovery that he /
had lost $50 of which so belonged to
the Post and $40 to himself. He met
+. NJ. Eckly at the POst-Of1ice and
told him of his loss. In five minutes !
afterwards, Eckly found the money, |
on the walk near Bakers shoe shop. /
1t is needless to say that John Walters
was the happiest man in town when |
the bills were handed to him.
Representative Pearson was in town
last Saturday and put in his time
preaching the gospel of Jerusalem and
KafIer corn. He has a large field of
these two varieties and he says that
they have grown right along all
through the dry weather and give
promise now of yielding % or 60 bush I.
els per acre. He says that cattle, hogs
and horses prefer either of these corns
TO the common kind, and is sure the
farmers would find them a profitable
crop.
One of little FL Orence Mitchelfs
birthdays happened along last Mon
day and a great crowd of her young
friends were called in to help her
