This is what Hicks says about Aug
ust weather: august will open with
atmosphere somewhat cooled by re-
cent storminess. 1t will turn quite
hot again as we enter the period from
the 4th to 9Th. Central stormy days
on 5th. 9th and 18th. Some rains with
heavy wind probable at these dates,
after which the excessive heat ought
ia abate for twoor three days. About
the 18th, warm and stormy. The 18th
18th and 18th will show another OPP
pressively warm wave, which unless
| il breaks into violent storms, will con-
/ tinue and reach climax of summer
heat and drought about the 22nd and
23rd. At these dates storms will APP
pear. More rain than before is prom
! ised from the 9TH to the last"
Our handsome young attorney, Mr..
w. 4. Grace, perpetrated surprise
ON his friends by returning home on
Sunday morning-with Mrs. Gracel
The bride was Miss Lena Jacobs, and
the marriage took place July y, at
Ann Arbor. Michigan, being solemn
lied in the presence of large number
of the friends of both parties. During
the few months of his residence here
Mr.. Grace has won a great many
friends BY his modest and gentleman
Iy demeanor, and they will all extend
his bride a cordial welcome. The
Young people have rooms at Mr.. Ben
nett's for the present, but it Is their
intention to go to housekeeping as soon
as a suitable dwelling can be secured.
Misses Jennie McNiel. Clara Welch,
Adah Wright. Maude Parmenter and
Fila Brown, and Messrs. Harry, Ed.
and Walt Mcneil, w. ID. Port, j. l..
Lyen and Tell Evans, constitute
merry party that will spend to-day
and o-morrow in camp at Stewards
Lake, south of Humboldt. They take
along a lot of cold tea and sardines,
to provide against emergencies, but
they depend mainly on fOraging off
the country for their support. The
men are all heavily armed and are
prepared to wage deadly war against
the chigres, ants and other wild
beasts that infest the lake region. We
feel quite sure that they will sell their
lives dearly, if they have to.
sheriff Hobart returned from
Washington Monday bringing his
man Wilson with him, The sheriff
saws that the Alliance men at Ch6hal.
is thought that the arrest of Wilson
was a Republican trick, concocted to
weaken their party by discrediting
one of their leaders, but he soon con-
WINGED them that Wilson's arrest had
nothing to do with his politics. Mr..
Hobart says that for nearly 300 miles
up the Kaw valley In central and
western Kansas the wheat crop Is so
heavy that there is hardly room in the
field for the shocks.
ID. Rimms returned Tuesday from
Harper where he has been with some
horses. He says that the great PeO-
pies party picnic i'm Harper last Sat
urday was a fiZzle. Col. Harris and
two or three other noted speakers were
there and the meeting had been wide
IL advertised, but there were not
more than 800 people there. Two
wears ago there would have been
nearly that many thousand. He
thinks Jerry Simpson is goner sure.
We are perfectly willing our PeO-
pies party friends should take their
own papers for the purpose of support.
ing them: but we insist that they
must take the REGISTER if they want
the news. The REGISTER Is not
Peoples party paper; but it gives
fairer and more complete report Of the
Peoples party convention than any
paper of that party gives. The REG
IsTER is a newspaper first and po-
litical paper afterwards.
When Mrs. VIM. Canatsey returned
to her home last Thursday evening
after a short visit with one of her
neighbOrs. she found it in possession
of large number of her friends who
had chosen this method to congratu-
late her upon the return of her birth
day. A bOuntiful lunch, beginning
with cold meats and ending with ice
cream and cake, was provided by the
visitors and the evening was greatly
enjoyed by all present.
Can't. |. y. Holloway, the genial and
popular postmaster at Yates Center,
was in town Monday and called on
the REGISTER. We speak of the Cap
tain as popular" advisedly, for he
was once elected clerk of WoOdson
county by every vote in the county but
four.-and it was his third term, too.
A man with a record like that has
right to be postmaster.
A card from VIM. GOodhue informs
us that he has purchased an interest
in a merchant tailoring establish
ment in Washington Court House,
Ohio, town of 5000 people, and ex-
poets to make his home there. The
people of Washington are to be con-
graduated on gaining so good a busi-
ness man and so excellent citizen as
Mr.. GOodhue.
We understand that the proposition
has been made to have the churches
hold union services ON Sunday even
ing during the remainder of the heat
ed term, instead of holding separate
service at each church. For great
many reasons this would seem to be
the wiser plan.
