We neglected to mention last week
the removal of DIR. w. L. Linn to TT.
Scott, to which place he takes the Of
flee of Supreme Recorder of the Order
of Select Friends i'm obedience to the
mandate of the Supreme Lodge. BY
his courteous and gentlemanly bear
ing and by his activity in church and
Sunday School work DIR. Linn has
won the esteem of all who made his
acquaintance during his residence in
lola and his departure is generally
regretted. The good wishes of many
friends will follow him.
The new Stevenson and Evans
buildings will be rooted with Amer
lean tin. Will Root sent for box of
the American product and u box Of
the imported Welch plate of the same
grade in order to make comparison,
and it is his Judgment, as well as the
opiniOn of everyone else who has ex-
amined it, that the American plate is
much superior to the WEIGH, while it
il half q dollar box cheaper. The
Mckinley bill is again indicated.
Mr., A. l.. Harmon has o curiosity
in the way of money. 1t is q twO-dOl-
lar bill of the "Kirtland Safety Society
Bank" of Kirkland, ILL.,, bearing date
April 10, 1897. The bank was Nor
mon institution and tho bill bears the
signature of 81. Smith" the prophet.
1t is a good sample of the kind of mon
ey this country had to DO business
with before the Republican party took
to running things.
The G.. A. II. Post of EmpOria has
determined to erect a monument in
that city to the memory of the late
Senator Plumb, and in order to raise
funds for the purpose they have de-
cided to ask that q collection be taken
up at every Memorial day gathering
/ i'm the State. 1t is worthy and noble
project and we hope the contribution
from lola will be generous one.
The only suit of general interest
which has been filed at the District
| Clerks office this week was that of L..
/ TOzer VS. the City of lola and III. klau-
mann, the damage suit which was
dismissed without prejudice at the
last term of court and ia now revived.
/ All the others are civil suits of no in
terest except to the parties immediate
| ly concerned.
| lola is the best market for farm pro-
| duce in Allen county. One who has
watched it says that our merchants
pay uniformly from one to five cents
more for butter and eggs than is paid
elsewhere. For example the price OF
eggs has been eleven cents here all
/ this week, and it will be the same
all next week.
Are you troubled with any skin dis
order? Hot springs Skin Salve is all
that the name implies. The salts from
/ the evaporated water are embodied in
/ the composition, and it should ~ nsed
wherever a salve or OintmeE aec-
essary. Evans Bros.
The REGISTER was delighted to re-
ceive yesterday a bunch of Cape Jes-
samins cut at Houston, Texas, and
sent us by Mrs. Julia \ Whitney
from TOnOvay, Kansas. They are
regal flowers and they came i'll per-
feet condition.
The secret of success is to do what
ever you start out to do better than
anyone else does it. For illustration
we venture the guess that the man
who is laying the brick on the Evans
building never complains of being ont
of job. He is an artist.
When the southbound ;. X. passen-
ger train reached Ottawa on Tuesday
night it was raining i'm such torrents
that the train dispatcher would not
let it 20 out, but held it there for three
or four hours. 1t was seven O'Clock
when it reached lola.

The fame of Col. Jones' Salina speech

tiOns to make addresses of all kinds

other things.
