what would you think if you i rom $1,000 10
S. coo on your 60 or 10 acres u. {? find that
two-thirds of the farmers haV' their farms mort,
gagged for from one to five t!it sand dollars, and
there arc lots of them bei.. closed in on. IL
makes me think If our kan-.t> farmers will take
hold and save up their earnings like the Ohio
farmers, there is not one ~ I'm but what can
pay off their Indebtedness Now, | will say,
from what | can see, that we Kansas farmers
waste enough to keep the Ohio farmers You
don't see their farming implements standing
ont in the rain and snow and there is no corn
wasted-everything is saved and made use of
| think more of Kansas now than ever did be-
fore. Your readers may think what | say
through your paper is all stuff but if they will
take the same trip have. | think ii will satisfy
them, and they will return and 20 to work and
lay up money faster than ever
Chdnute Blade: If we had any
marble in Chanute there would be no
necessity of this short article, but I'M
fortunately we haven't, but up at lola
they have discovered a very nice quail
ity of marble and are developing it,.
Our friend a. L.. Taylor is president of
the company, and he kindly sends us
q schedule and government test. From
this it appears it contains pure marble
ingredients and it is Ofgreat strength.
1t seems as though this marble comp
any might send some of our lumber
men samples. There will be large
amount of building going on in this
city in the next two years and we see
no reason why this marble should not
be used for ornamental work and gen.
eral construction. We draw our peO-
pies attention to it as a Kansas pro-
duction, and a local one at that.

Eureka Messenger: \ company of
amateurs are presenting Hoyt's "a
Texas Steer" in the towns OfAllen and
adjoining counties. This unfortunate
state of affairs is traceable to Charley
Scott, of the REGISTER. When Scott
got back from Europe and began to
lecture ON his travels the entire popu-
lation of the village in which he lives
concluded to follow his example and
become famous. 1t is difficult to cal
culate the damage which one young
man may do in a community, especial
ly, if he is a prepOssessing bachelor.

The meetings in the Presbyterian
church have been continued this week
with increasing interest. They are
proving helpful to Christians and it
is hoped they will also prove benefi-
cial to many who had not known
Christ savingly before. No one can
miss these services without loss The
meetings will be continued next week.
Let every one who can attend and as
sist in making them both interesting
and profitable.
The crap-shOoting mania has again
broken out, and something more than
mere rumOr is connecting the names
of some boys and young men with the
OdiOus game who ought to know and
do know better. If parents cannot,
or will not, put a stop to this species
of gambling, the city marshal should.
1t is doing an incalcnlable amount OF
damage to the morals of the boys and
young men of the town.
There is more serious illness in and
about lola just now than there has
been for long time. DIR. Gillihan is
very low with pneumonia, and Is
hardly expected to recover. n. D..
McCarley's life was at one time de-
SPARED of. but he is now improving.
Mrs. Willett, Mrs. II. l.. Henderson,
and Mrs. Happersett bave been very
ill but are now better.
The latest is Letter Social" and
the plan of it is this: a letter of the al
phabet is pinned upon each person as
he enters and a pencil and blank card
is given him. Groups which Will
make words are formed and no one
must converse with any person or per-
sons whose letter with his own does
not form a word. y prize is given at
the end of the evening to the one who
has the most words.
1t is only little over two weeks
until the city election but nobody
seems to be very much excited over
it. We have heard of no candidates
yet for any of the offices but we pre-
sumo some will be found in due time
willing to take them. The present
administration seems to have given
very general satisfaction and if it will
consent to hold over there will he few
if any objections.
The REGISTER long ago advocated
the idea of having the Government
build and own a postoffice building i'm
