should be the very ones to run down
the State and give it bad name.
How can they expect stranger to
buy their farm when they tell him 1t
isn't worth half what it was ten years
ago, and that no man can make q
living ON it? AS well try to sell q
man horse by telling him that 1t is q
spawned, string-halted stump-sucker
who would be disgrace to any man
who owned him. If you really want
to sell out, "Stand up for Kansas" IN
til people are again taught to believe,
what is really the truth, that it Is as
good State, one year with another,
as there is in the Union. Tell the
truth if you can; but if you must
wander from it stretch it ON the good
side rather than on the bad.
Cdpitdl: l.. B. Pearson q promin-
ent farmer of Allen county, who was
re-nominated by the Republicans of
that county few days ago for men,
Der of the legislature, was in the city
yesterday, Mr.. Pearson belonged to
the Republican minority i'm the last
Alliance House and was known as
Que of the stalwarts. He has been
farming for twenty-five years I'm AL
len county and has made it pay.
He is considerable of stu
dent and is well posted on all the
important questions of the day. In
the last house he was member OF the
railroad committee, one of the most
important of all committees, and he
was regarded by both parties as one
of the hardest working and most USE
full members of the house. He is
strong with all classes of people I'm his
county and he is certain to be re-elect-
ed.
Newspaper readers will remember
that during the war i'm Tennessee q
few days ago between the militia and
the striking miners, Gen. Anderson
was captured by the strikers under a
flag of truce and it was feared for two
or three days that he had been killed.
1t now appears that his membership
in the order of knights of Pythias
saved his life. The miners had de-
cided to hang him and the leaders
had gone for q rope, when he gave the
sign of distress of the order. 1t prov
ed that three of the miners present
they recognized the sign and remem-
bered the obligation. Before the rope
was brought the miners took General
Anderson and concealed him and kept
him safe until the surrender.
| Fort Scott Monitor: Isaac s. COe, of
LaHarpe, Kans., is visiting his daugh-
ter, Mrs. w. III. Robertson, here. Mr..
Coe is an old veteran with five years
experience as scout, his services ex-
/ tending through the war. He is past
seventy years old, but looks younger.
He is engaged i'm writing his expert
ences which promises to be very inter-
esting, and will preserve also valuable
historical data. Mr.. COe will prOba-
bly, have his work, which will be rath-
er lengthy, published and thus pre-
served. 1t will furnish a valuable adj
ditiOn to the stock of literature of the
war of kind that will necessarily be
| impossible to add few years hence, as
the men who performed the deeds as
they alone can relate them will have
passed away.
Mr.. Roll Collins and Miss Lily
White were married on Monday eve
ming at the residence of the brides
aunt in Muncie, Indiana.
The groom was employed
for some time i'm our Carriage Works
and is young man of good character
and excellent prospects. The bride
was among the best known and most
popular of our "yOung crowd" pos
sessing a sweetness of manner and a
loneliness of character that made her
general favorite. We understand
that the young people will make their
home in Marion Ind. They certainly
take with them the best wishes of all
their lola friends.
! If the weather had been made to Or
der, it could not be better than it has
/ been for the past month. A fine rain
| every week, pleasant days, cool
nights. The ground is kept i'm splen-
did condition for blowing, and the
country looks as fresh and green as
/ in June. The late pasture will save
4 lots of feed, and that means dollars In
the pockets of our farmers, for feed is
money this year. And the cOpiOus
rains will make great deal of fall
blowing possible and that means
promise of better crops next year. So
we are pretty we'll off, all things con-
sidered, and nearly everybody is rea-
sonably happy.
October y is the date fixed for the
/ formal dedication of the Worlds Fair
grounds and buildings at Chicago. In
accordance with the suggestion of
/ President Harrison the day will be OBJ
served quite generally over the cOun-
try as Columbian day, and in accord
ance with the peculiar fitness of
things the city schools will take the
lead in celebrating the day in lola. 1t
/ is Prof. Pickens' idea to have the city
administration, the G. A. r. Post and
other civic organizations take part in
the exercises, which will be made APP
propriate and interesting. Further
notice will be given in due time, but
I it is hoped the date will be remem-
bered.
Maj. J. X. Hudson, editor of the
Topeka Capital, stopped off between
trains last Friday to pay the REGIS
TER little visit. The Major is per-
sonally one of the most charming of
men, and nobody who knows him
questions for moment his stalwart
/ honesty and truthfulness. If the men
who have been spending a good deal
of their time these past two years call
/ ing the Topeka Capital liar would
/ tell the truth only half as often and
half as hard as the Capital does, the
State would be vastly the gamer.
