Old Times.

| Ed. Register-A few days ago l rode
down through the country where I, in
my hunting days, spent a good deal O.
time with my old hunting pard. Their
the woods were open and free from
young timber and brush; you could see
way off in every direction. Nothing
but large trees grew on those hills and
mountains and valleys; you could see
herds of deer and big flocks of turkeys
and quirrels-squirrels everywhere.
| was riding my rOadcart, as it hurts
me to ride horseback; l wanted to &c
from one settlement to another.
knew there used to be roads all through
| that country, where the log-haulers
hauled logs to mill and lumber from
| the mill to the railroad. Iasked if the
| roads were passable; "Yes, only you
will find the floods have washed the
roads in some places along the valley
SO deep it is impassable. 1 drove
| over logs, rocks, up the sides of the
| mountains, where it was so steep I had
to hold on with my feet to the cross
bars of the shafts, and going down, in
some places, had to lay back to keep
from going over the mares back.

tall you could see nothing around you.
Had it not been for the sun l would
never have gotten out of them. |

paper just as it was through the brush.
After reached my old friends, all,
as usual, commenced talking of our
younger days, and of some of the old
hunts we had taken together. men

the REGISTER some time ago about see
ing an eagle kill deer. had heard
since that some of the boys who read
the article shook their heads and could
hardly swallow it. They thought it
little too tough; when / told him
what had heard he said, 'sWhy, bless
your soul and body man, that's moth

thing they could find. | got out all

Suggestion For a Summer Trip.

If you wish to take the trip of life
time, purchase the low rate excursion
tickets sold by all principal lines in the
United States and Canada via the North
ern Pacific Railroad to Yellowstone
National Park. Pacific coast and Alaska.
The trip is made with the highest
degree of comfort in the elegant vesti-
buled trains of the Northern Pacific
Railroad, which carry dining cars and
luxurious Pullman sleeping cars from
Chicago, St. Paul and Minneapolis to
Montana and the Pacific coast, without
change, and special Pullman Shoppers
from st. Paul and Minneapolis to Yell
lowstone Park.
The scenery en- route is the most
magnificent to be found in the seven
states through which the road passes.
Beautiful mountains, rivers, valleys,
lakes and plains follow each other in
rapid succession to delight the tourist,
who will also find interest in the agri-
cultural, mining numbering, industrial
and other interests associated with the
development of the great Northwest.
The crowning glory of the trip
through the Northwest, however, is the
visit to Yellowstone Park, the land of
hot springs, geysers and gorgeous can
ons, and to Alaska with its endless
ocean channels, snow-cappcd peaks.
Indian villages and giant glaciers.
If you wish to investigate this sug-
gestion further send to Charles S. Fee,
General Passenger Agent, N. p. X. r.,

Pitching Into Fyan.

In his speech at this place on the
22d ult. Mr.. Byrns took occasion to cast
some ungenerous reflections on Judge
Fyan, who by the peculiar redistricting
of the State was thrown into the same
district with him, and who is also a
candidate for denomination. AS Judge
Evan was not factor in the contest in
this county, our people were somewhat
surprised at the insidious assault upon
him. Priding himself on his close at
tendance during the recent session OF
Congress, and perhaps for the purpose
of emphasizing it and contrasting it with
that of his contemporary. he said in
substance that Judge Fyan was an
habitual absentee, was never present
to vote upon any important measure,
was not in attendance to vote against
the Chicago Worlds Fair steal, and
calling the editor of this paper by name
said that if he could have seen Judge
Fyan in Washington he would never
give him his support. The Times is
and has been supporter of Mr.. Carter
of this county, and what MIR. Byrns

when neither he nor any of his friends
were present to hear and defend him.
Mr.. Byrns was neither generous nor
courteous. We are not personally ac-
quainted with Judge Fyan, and only
know of him as man of unquestioned
ability and an incorruptible and fear
less Democrat, who redeemed the old
Thirteenth district from the Republic
cans; but we have learned that much
of his absence from his seat in Congress
was occasioned by ill health and mis-
fortune, he having been laid up long
time with broken leg. Mr.. Byrns
might have saved himself from the inn
putation of willfully discrediting fell
by even limiting at
these efacts.-Farmingto Times.

st. Louis Extends Cordial Welcome
to All.

| The city of st. Louis has become
famous the country over through the
agency of her annual Fall Festivities,
and from that source has gained the
sobriquet of the Carnival City of
America"
For the season of 1892 all previous
efforts in the line of entertainment
will be exclipsed. The great st. Louis
Exposition will throw its doors open to
the public Wednesday, September 7th,
and will continue to entertain and de-
light thousands during a period ex-
tending over forty days. One of the
chief attractions announced by the
management is the engagement of Col.
P. S. Gilmore and his world-renowncd
band: one hundred strong. The illum-
ination by gas and electricity of the
streets will extend over a larger area
and be on a grander scale than any
similar exhibition ever attempted in
the world. The thirty-second great
St. Louis Fair and Geological Gardens,
Oct. Sd to Sth. whose fame has been
heralded broadcast, will be one of tho
main attractions of that week, and as
has been customary for the last thir-
teen years the Yelled Prophet will again
appear in his favorite city, on the
evening of Tuesday, October 4th. The
hotel accommodations of st. Louis have
been materially increased since last
year and strangers are assured of hos
pitable treatment.
The Missouri Pacific Railway and
Iron Mountain Route, with their vast
network of lines extending over the
States of Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska,
Colorado, Indian Territory, Arkansas,
the West, South and Southwest, in Or
der to encourage travel, have made
remarkably low round trip rate from
points on their lines to st. Louis and
return during the Festivities.
For further information relative to
dates of sale and limits of tickets call
on or address any Missouri Pacific or
Iron Mountain ticket agent, who will
be pleased to furnish same.

es. We were so fortunate as to be
very near it. When we got there the
choir was filled with people and the
seats in the nave were nearly full. AL
| through the service people kept com
ing in and going out. Many stood in
the nave and we were in front among
the crowd. The singing was magnif-
cent. The organ was good and was
accompanied by an orchestra. There
were few women who sang which is
quite unusual, I think. Much of the
service was singing, and it was good to
hear fine music. The people seemed
very devoted, they knelt on the stone
f1OOr when the time came, but | think
most could not understand the language
that was used. There were several
side shrines where priests went through
the rites and around which people
kneeled. [ was particularly drawn by
the face of one priest who stood In a
shrine just at our right. His face had
delicate look, his eyes were closed as
he repeated the words, and it seemed as
though his very soul were struggling
for existence. Surely he found help.
Thoughtful and intelligent men came
in and followed those forms. l feel
that such devotion, cropping and long
ing, as | saw on many faces will not be
unrewarded.
Coming home from church new sights
awaited us. 1t seemed very peculiar
to see people stop on their way home
from church to shop. Nearly all the
stores were open. Six of us went out
after supper to the peoples garden,
and such crowds of people as we saw!
They go out to these gardens every
Sunday to have good time drinking
beer and visiting. There were all
kinds of amusements-Pun and Judy
shows, lotteries, bands, dancing plat
forms, refreshment stands, and merry
go-rounds. One variety of the latter
had wooden horses which the people
mounted, and the thing went round,
the horses pranced at Il great rate.
Another kind went round and round
vertically, and it seemed as if the oc
cupants We're going to spill out. In
one place a man in blue tights was
showing off his strength, lifting great
weights. Men were there with red
and blue ballons to sell. They were
mostly grown people who were patron
izing these things. There was very
little disorder; people were having a
good time, but were behaving them
selves to all outward appearances. /
would like to tell you much more, but
you cannot know how our time is taken |
n such Il trip as this, until you have
ried it.

The Coolest Winter

The Muscatine Journal recently stated
that the river remained closed longer in
the winter OF 1s42 of any other in the
history of the country, but after looking
up the record finds that the winter of
1901 was the record breaker. 1.-THE
river closed that winter on the 9th of
November and remained closed until the
18th OF April-tnree days longer than in
1912 3. But the winter of 1912 8 was
much the coolest, the thermometer being
below zero during each OF the five months
aud the average temperature during the
entire winter was 81. l."
