and would rarely make a bad invest
ment, and that having &C
quired wealth he would not be a
spendthrift or a gambler but could be
trusted to take care ofhis money. His
ancestors, said the doctor, lived to be
of great age, as the indications of vi
tally in Mr., Ewart were very remark
able. In Mr.. Myler the doctor found
the thinking powers well developed,
an ANALYTICAL cast of mind, inclination
to talk Slight, but ability to explain
clearly what he knew. He thought
that MIR. Myler would make a good
teacher. If the Doctors diagnoses
are correct these gentlemen are GER
tainly to be congratulated on having
chosen the right occupations.
The Allen county delegation went
to Topeka on Tuesday to attend the
Republican State Convention. They
went early so as to get in as much
work as possible among the other del
gates in Mr.. BARRIERS interest. AS the
convention did not meet until ten
o'clock yesterday it is not likely that
any nominations will be made until
to-day, so the REGISTER cannot wait
for the news. And there are so many
candidates and their strength seems
so evenly divided that there is little
chance for a reasonable guess as to the
result. The REGISTER has every con-
fidence, however, that the 10 repre-
sentative Republicans who compose
the convention will make up ticket
that every Republican can heartily
support.
We are informed of the publication
of novelty in the book line which is
certain of an enormous sale. This
book is "Glimpses of the World. A
Portfolio of Photographs" prepared
under the supervision of the great
traveller and lecturer-John l.. Stod-
dard. 1t contains Photographic views
of famous scenes and places in all
parts of the world. Every view is
| fully described. AS an educator it is
invaluable. 1t contains 550pages and
nearly 275 views, and is sold by sub
scriptiOn at popular prices. The r.
S. Peale Co., Chicago, are the publish
ers and they desire an agent in this
locality. They will gladly mail des-
criptive circulars, sample views and
terms to all, on application.
Mr.. r. F.'White, of Geneva, was in
the office Tuesday and gave us an &C
count of an old-fashiOned grading bee
which took place at the home of Mr..
J. H. Spicer last week. Mr.. Spicer
| having half an acre of fine wheat of
new variety within the limits of the
town. invited in the old settlers of
Geneva and vicinity to help him cut
his wheat and renew old acquaintance
| at the same time. His guests showed
tn
use the Old-fashiOned cradle, nor lost
all of their old-fashioned energy. The
workers were well entertained by Mr..
and Mis-. Spicer, and the occasion was
a very pleasant one socially.

Cuttings, son-in-law of +. Rupert, of
| this county, who has been travelling
for the past year with his wife and
one child, has not been heard from by
/ his friends since January 10, 1892. At
! that time they were in Bradford, Ar
kansas. This long silence in reference
| to their whereabouts has given friends
and relatives in this county very much
uneasiness as they fear something
serious has happened to them. Any
! information in regard to Mr. Cuttings
whereabouts will be thankfully re-
ceived by his father-in-law and other
friends. Address +. Rupert, Box 466,

As announced in their display ad.
! this week, Evans Bros. have moved
into their new building, and are ready
for business on the old corner. The
new building when completed and
! furnished will be one of the handsome
soonest and most cOmmodiOus bust
ness houses in town. 1t is cOnsidera-
bly, longer and q little wider than the
old room, and better lighted. There
are eight pleasant and well-ventilated
office rooms upstairs which Mr.. Ev-
ans will rent. The Evans boys de-
serve lots of good luck for their nerve
and perseverance, and they will
doubtless get it.

A leap year picnic up the river is on
the program for this afternoon. The
young people expect to start about 3
o'clock and return by moonlight to-
night. The young ladies are doing
the inviting and managing, and the
Young gentlemen are to furnish the
lunch. 1t will doubtless exceed in
sumptuOusness anything of the kind
that has ever been attempted in lola.
The green social given by the ladies
of the Methodist church last Tuesday
evening was a success socially and
financially. Mrs. Boulson's pretty
rooms were tastefully decorated with
plants and branches so that they look
ed like bowers of green. Ice cream
and cake were served and the ladies
have over ten dollars as the result of
their evenings work.

Mr.. Null brought in from Deer Creek
Thursday a specimen of corn of which
he may well be proud. 1t is of. the
early Murdoch variety and is already
silked out, having been planted only
sixty davs ago. Mr.. Null says that
/ his field will be all right whether it
rains any more or not. Kansas farm
ers certainly ought to investigate this
