The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1893-11-24
The F.M.B.A A. Cooperative Asso-

citation made probably its last appear
ance on Saturday last when it came
before the District Court asking that
it be permitted to dissolve as a cor
poration and that the directors be
appointed trustees to wind up its
affairs. The petition presented to the
court states that the Association Is
indebted to diverse persons in the
sum of S2272.1S, with accrued inter-
est, and that it has no available
assets wherewith to discharge this
Indebtedness. And this is the end.
We remember very well that in the
beginning the REGISTER was roundly
abused i'm certain quarters as an "en-
envy to the farmers" because it ad-
vised them not to go into the mercan-
tile business and fOretOld failure and
loss. The advice and the predi' ton
were prompted, not by the wish that
the enterprise might fail, but by the
conviction. based on a knowledge OF
business conditions and business prin-
ciples, that it could not by any posi-
bility succeed. The event has proven
in this case, as 1t has in good many
others. that the REGISTER was more
truly the farmers friend" than some
others who made louder pretentions.

Conservatory of Music at Lincoln
Neb., where Miss Maude Richards is
teaching and where her sister,

up stairs to warn the other girls, then
went to her own room to gather up
what few belongings she could carry
| She then went again to her sister $
room to make sure she had escaped

all the passages were black with
smoke and she was almost overcome
