Things are not always as placid as
they seem. Particularly political
things. When the sun rose Saturday
morning there was not the faintest
sign of fight over the city offices.

known for many years. Two tickets
were nominated Saturday night, one
at the court house and one at the OPP
era House. The first was composed
as follows; each candidate receiving
the number of votes noted; For May
or, w. l.. Bartels (239). For Council
men, w. A. Cummings (205), Ira Pat
terson (43S), Il. M. Bartels, (2OO), J.
b. GOshOrn (1SD, n. j. Servey 104).
For Police Judge, j. f.. Thorpe (194).
The second was as follows; For May
or, II. l.. Henderson (2l5). For COun-
cilmen, J. +. COlborn (240), Ira Pat
tersOn (4SS), G.. w. McNiel (259), Chas.
Ausherman (2Gl), NJ. NJ. Hart (250.

ed that the Opera House ticket was
elected with the exception of the can

The news columns of our inside
pages report the details of the terrible
damage done by cyclones and high
winds in the various parts of the State
during .the past week. Compared
with the frightful havoc wrought else
where, lola may be very thankful
that she escaped with such slight
damage. There was no approach. to a
cyclone here, but there was a very
fierce gale last Friday and Monday.
The metal roofs on the Marsh
Hart building, the Casmire build
ing and the COlborn building
were rolled up and badly damag-
ed, while the roof of the REGISTER
building was torn from the flashing
and damaged to the amount of sever
al dollars. The cOrnice of the A. o.
L. w. Hall was blown out of place
and several signs were torn down. SO
far as we have learned no one in the
town or county was hurt. But it was
wild wind and it made life out of
doors mighty uncomfortable.
Yates Center Democrat: w. H.
/ Slavens returned from Washington
last Monday and will make his future
home in Yates Center. The damp
weather didn't agree with his health.
He saws there are more vacant houses
and more people out ola job than there
are in Kansas. He thinks that capt.
talists can possibly find better invest
ments out there, but poor folks are not
in it. He has been sick nearly all of
the time since he left Kansas, and is
glad to get back.
If you are thinking of papering your
house this spring it will pay you to
call on \. o. Allen and get his prices
and examine his stock of wall paper.
He has more new goods than any 9TH
er firm in the city and has stock on
hand of last year which is as good as
new and will sell at greatly reduced
price. Call and examine for yourself
before buying. \. o. Allen.
My spring goods will be here in a
/ few DAYS, and when they arrive will
have some special dries that will be
eye-openers. When in the city took
special pains to look after the wants
of the common people and secured
some Job lots of staple goods that l
/ shall offer at wonderful bargains.
