marvellous. For the past two week
there must have been an average o
fifty wagons day. possibly more
passing through lola on their way t,
the promised land. That more thai
hall of those who go will be disappoint
ed goes without saying. Some ART
already coming back convinced tina
the attempt to get any land worth
having is hopeless. Our guess is thai
the old time boomers will manage
some way TO get about everything il
sight. After hanging ON down there
for ten years they are not going to bt
shut out now by any "tenderfoOt." II
would be worth the cost of the trip tt
see the grand rush. But we are sorry
for anybody who goes there for any
other purpose.
The management of the excursion o.
the Kansas Editorial Association tC
Chicago, which is to take place next
week, has fallen chiefly upon oul
shoulders and has required so much
attention during the past two weeks
that the REGISTER has been some
what neglected. In another week,
however, this outside work will be
off our hands and we shall be at home
to stay, and to make the REGISTER,
as far as undivided effort is able to
make it, the best paper on earth.
Now is the time to subscribe!
Some twenty-five or more of our cit
liens have gone to "the Strip" Mos.
of them went merely to see the grand
rush,-the last one of the kind there
will be on earth-but some of them
will take town lot or a claim if it
comes handy. Among those who
went were Isaac Weleh, VIM Bean,
A. n. Mitchell, A. n. Swigart, Bert
Ling, Walt McNiel. Frank Knapp,

Mr.. James Dinwiddie returned
Tuesday from the San Luis Valley,
Colorado, where he has been visiting
his son. He brought home with him
samples of wheat 81 feet high and oats
Z feet high, grown on his sons farm.
We passed through that valley in
1881, when it didn't raise anything
but cactus and ratlesnakes. But since
that time great irrigating bitches
have been dug letting the water in
from the mountains and the desert
has become a garden.
DIR. J. w. Scott has been i'm town
all week, the guest of his son and of
his brother and sister. He has re-
signed his position i'm the meat in
spectiOn bureau, and will go down to
Oklahoma next week where he will
spend the winter. Of course when he
is through with his "play spelP and
gets ready to settle down again, he
will come back to lola. He could
never feel at home anywhere else.
Jesse Shinn, our Court reporter, has
been a great Cleveland man. But he
has got over it. The FredOnia Her
it'd says:
Jesse Shinn. after reading the Presidents
message, took his large picture of Cleveland
nto the yard and draped it in heavy mourn
ng This was Mr.. shinn's god prior to the
Message Since draping the picture In mourn
ng Mr. Shinn has taken IL into a back ROOM
urnea its face to the wall, and his wife will
BURN il in the near future. The mills of the
,ods are grinding Let the grists be large
Our old Humboldt friend, Moses
Neal, is the luckiest Democrat we
know of. When Cleveland was first
elected he was appointed agent of the
Sac and Fox Indians. During the
Harrison Administration he managed
to get ON one of the Oklaho-
ma TOWNSHIP boards. And now we
lee he has been appointed allotting
gent for the Kickapoos. But it is all
light. He is good straight man.
These cool mornings suggest that
he time is near at hand when we
must begin to think about heating
toves. Bartels q Son have already

most popular heater ever invented.
We are sole lola agents for this stove
md we want you to buy of us. We
AIRY a large assortment of stoves and
annOt fail to please you.
