DID. Shelter had hunted up
the Log Cabin that did such valiant
service in 1888, and this and the ban
ner. with a fine picture of the Presi-
dent, adorned the band stand. Mr..
Kreuter called the crowd to order and
briefly introduced Capt. Slower as the
President of the evening. Capt. StOv-
er spoke elOquently and effectively, as
he always does, and his telling points
were frequently and loudly cheered.
He was followed by Percy Harris, r..
III. Bennett and Chas. +. Scott, whose
brief. but enthusiastic addresses were
well received by the audience who
seemed to heartily endorse the sentls
ments uttered. Following the speech
es there was great bonfire and very
creditable display of fire works and
the scene on the crowded streets for
an hour or two was very lively one.
1t was "a great day with u.s." hot
beginning Of what is going to be a
red-hot campaign.
Children's Day exercises were
appropriately celebrated last Sunday
at the NJ. f. church. The morning
service was conducted by the Super
intendent, Mr.. j. f. Henderson, and
consisted of an address by the pastor
on youths Path Of Christian Prog
ress." This was illustrated by q
blackboard drawing of the descend
ing dove which alighted on Christ at
his baptism, which was drawn by
Prof. Little of Washington, ID. c., who
has been giving the chalk talks at
the Normal Institute. A number OF
the smaller children of the Sunday
School also assisted in this service.
In the evening the Superintendent
again conducted the exercises, which
were of high literary and religious
character, and were mostly rendered
by the larger scholars of the school,
and merited much praise. The church
was crowded at both services.
Wehad intended making a full report
of the Peoples party county conven-
ton, held here last Saturday, but
find our space taken up with other
and more important news. We can
only say that the convention was well
attended and quite enthusiastic. 1t
was evidently. a middle-Of-the-road
convention, dead against any fusion
with the "rotten Democracy" 1t ell
ected the following as delegates to
the State convention: w. ID. ChO-
quill, s. ID. Bartlett, 4. O'Hara and
II. Hobart; and the following to the
Congressional convention: III. L.
Brown, ID. w. Jewell, G.. T.. Davis,
Ole Matson, III. III. Hayward. The
resolutions endorsed the st. Louis
platform and demanded free silver.
The REGISTER desires to contradict
a report that seems to have gone
abroad that there would be an adj
mission fee charged to the grounds
here on the Fourth of July. That is
very emphatically not true. Admls-
sion everywhere, to the grove, to the
races, and all the way round, will be
absolutely free. This celebration is q
patriotic enterprise and not money
making scheme. Don't stay away
through fear that you may be impos-
ed upon.
The Harper Sentinel has found the
star optimist. A citizen of that town
was passing a place where the lorna
do had done its work most effectively
and noticing that the good little boy
of the family was gathering up the
fragments of a building said, sympa'
thetically: "Bad, wasn't it; blew the
house down." EYES," replied the
boy. Then, looking up, smiling, he
added: but didn't it give us daisy
lot of kindling wood"
The location here of Edwards, Eaton
d Co., for the purpose of handling poul'
try and eggs by wholesale, will un-
dOubtedly be of much benefit to the
farmers all over Allen county. They
are fitting up the north wing of the
Carriage Factory, and their plan is to
gather in live poultry from all the adj
Joining towns, then kill and dress
them and ship them, in refrigerator
cars, to the city markets. They will
pay Kansas City prices.
The city council has hit upon the
idea that the city park may be KEPT
in better condition, and may at the
same time be made to yield some rev
enue, by allowing horses to be pastur'
ed on it. The rules are that horses
may be turned in and pastured unit
nine o'clock, then turned in at foul
and taken out at eight, on payment o
twenty-five cents a week. No horse:
are to be allowed in the park in mud
dy weather.
Glenn Kreuter and Charlie Ausher
man deserve, and we are sure receive
the thanks of the Republicans OF IOl;
for the work they did in making the
ratification meeting on Saturda!
night so complete a success. The.

ed statement of receipts and disburse
ment that they will be glad to SHOW
