Prairie Hall last week, on suspicion,
brought here for trial aud released for
lack of evidence. allowing Rudd to es-
cane. while Webb was arrested and
lodged in jail. A man whn identified
the horse and saddle as his property
said two horses saddles and brides
were stolen. On questioning Webb
at the iail he confessed the fact and
said the other horse was at Columbus.
| Last week the engineer of the south
bound NJ. X. Il L. express was held
up by two men near Moran. He told
them there was a posse aboard the
train to catch them and that they had
/ better get right out. They believed
IL and took his advice. Wednesday
the engineer went to the Jail in lola
and identified Webb as one of the
bandits. Rudd is vet at large but
will no doubt be captured and they
! Webb anyway will be sure to serve
a term in the states prison. Rudd
has been known for a good while az
tough Webb, who is younger,
has been working in the neighbor-
hood of Prairie Hall and has borne a
good reputation until he fell in with
Rudd.
| Every once in a while we hear some
complaint because the Driving Park
ssociatiOI makes some charge for
/ the use of it's grounds or reserves the
right to sell privileges when it lets
/ the grounds free. Did those who
make this complaint ever stop to fig
ure out lust how much money the AS
/ ISOLATION gets out of its grounds every
wear? Do they know that not a cent
| OF dividend was ever divided among
the stockholders? Do they know
that an assessment has been levied
against the stock every year to
nav interest or taxes or improve
ments? Do they know that good
share of the stock. if not all of it,
could be bought for less than a quar-
ter of what it cost? The facts are that
/ the gentlemen who went down in
their pockets and bought that park
did so out of pure public spirit. They
! knew they would never make dollar
out of it, but they wanted to save, for
the good of the town, the last availa-
BILE grove there was along the river.
/ We know all these things because we
/ have paid 30 or 60 of our own good
hard dollars to find out. And that is
/ the reason we want to go off sOme-
where and sit down when we hear
people who never invested dollar nj
their lives "for the good of the order,
complains about the 'greediness" of
the Driving Park Association.
IT. Tredway. of Elm, has named
hi. homestead 1.-The Allen Center
Stock Farm and will give special
attention to breeding Jersey cattle
and Duroc-Jersey swine. And in
stead of getting his stationery by the
| dimes worth he came to the REGIS
TER office and ordered a large guam
| tity of letter heads and envelopes with
the name of his farm and his business
printed on them. There are a good
many farmers in Allen county now
who have given names to their farms
and who use printed letter heads
"just like business man." We are
| glad to see it. When farmer gives
a name to his home it is sign that he
! is proud of it, and man who is proud
of his home is mieh apt to keep it
looking nice and thrifty. And when
he prints that name on his stationery
it is a sign that he is not ashamed of
his calling, besides being a great con-
venience to him and all his CORES
pOndents. 1t is an old fad OF the REG
ISTER that every farm should have
name, and that this name together
with the name of the owner, should
be painted on a big sign over the main
entrance. We hope to see it in Allen
county yet before we die.
! Ben. J. Thompson. formerly of Elm
/ township, now living in one of the
/ suburbs of New York City, who came
out few weeks ago to build barn
on his farm, was in lola Tuesday and
made this office pleasant visit. He
SAYS that the success of the Calamity
party has practically destroyed the
/ credit of Kansas i'm the East. 1t Is
absolutely no use. he says, to talk to
ANYBODY down east about making an
| investment in Kansas. Mr.. Thomp-
son himself feels very differently. He
always did well in Kansas and he
would rather live here now than any
where else. He came with the inten-
tion of selling his farm, but after see
/ ing the splendid crops now growing
on it he has concluded he would rath-
er keep it. Mr.. Thompson returned
to New York yesterday.

A number of young ladies, learning
of the absence of Mr.. and Mrs. l.. L..
Northrup took advantage the other
evening of the deienseless condition
in which this absence left Lutte Nor
thrup and Walter Hull and organized
a serenading party against them.
The bows had been warned, however,
and so thew were able before the mus
ical attack had become very danger
Gus, to divert the enemy and save
themselves by generous and judi
cious administration of ice cream,
cake and other luxuries. The occas-
ion was very pleasant one.
