The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1892-01-01


WAS in town Tuesday. Although do
ing prosperous business in the
HOOsier capital, Mr.. Perry is still hum
CRY for the pure air and the bright
skies of Kansas and we should not he
surprised, and certainly not sorry, to
chronicle his return here some day.
Two or three young men no know
better have brought sOrrO to the
hearts of their friends by appearing
at public gatherings during the past
week or two in a condition closely
bordering on intOXicatiOn. 1t may be
easy enough, and not SO very unpleas-
ant, to SOW the wind; but the harvest
Of that sowing is the whirlwind, and
who can reap it i'm pleasantness and
peace?
lola Lodge No. 9S, y. o. L. w, will
install its Officers-elect on Friday even
ing January x, 1892 TwOOr three ap-
prOpriate addresses will be made and
a pleasant literary and musical pro-
gram will he presented, in addition to
the formal ceremonies. y number of
invited guests will he present and it
is hoped that all members of the lodge,
with the ladies of their families, will
he i'm attendance.
Two weeks ago the REGISTER pick
ed up floating item to the effect that
"CieOrge Myers. an old soldier of La
Cygne, has fallen heir to a large pro-
psrty and his friends are trying to
find him." \ few days later we re-
ceived a letter from a gentleman i'm
Indiana giving us the address of the
said George Myers, which we immed-
lately sent his friends i'm LaCygne.
Thus the REGISTER goes about doing
good.
1t was observed by those present
that the Wishard-Pickell wedding
partOOk largely of the nature of
reunion of State Normal School stu
dents. Besides the groom, there were
from that institution Prof. and Mrs.
Picken; Prof. :. " Montgomery, of
Galena; s. Prot. Pearson, of Kansas
City, Kansas; Prof J. NJ. Rhoades, of
Council Grove; Mr.. and Mrs. Grant
Billie; Mr.. Geo. /. Adams, of Moran;
Prof. +. W. Myler, of Baldwin City,
and Superintendent Barber.
There has been good deal of talk
here since our fires about the necessity
of providing fire alarm, and the gen
eral idea seems to be that we should
have a bell mounted at some cOnven-
lent place and used for that purpose.
Why wouldn't big bass drum bc
better? \ drum can he heard long
distance, much farther than any bell
we are likely to get, and the noise ii
makes would never be mistaken for
any other. 1t is cheap and it could
always be kept where it could he got
at. 1t strikes us that the drums the
thing.
Hon. f.. III. Funston was chairman
of the House committee appointed to
accompany the remains of Senator
Plumb tn their last resting place, and
came from EmpOria to his home to
spend Christmas with his family. Up
OIL returning To our office after short
absence on Christmas day we found
upon orr table the words "a merry
christmas" scrawled across a piece of
paper foot long, and below it the
signature OfOur congressman.
Sorry we were not in.
