Mr.. and Mrs. A. O. Allen drove up

4 Mr.. and Mrs. A. o. Allen drove u
to Elizabeth town and Colony las
3 Sunday. Albert used to live ut Iii
: town when he was on earth the frs
| time. 1t was quite a village then
7 with post-Office and store and
lot of harum-scarum boys. 1t is moth
ing but name now, and that nam
is only memory. The post-office i
departed and the store is gone an,
the boys are scattered. Albert Allel
likes to drive up there once in awhil,
} to be reminded of the wild. free ful
he used to have when he was boy.
John Everheart was visiting hi
friend, Charlie Hauser, i'm the cas-
part of Humboldt township the frs
of the week. He says he has 125 acre
of the finest corn he ever saw. III,
says also that Mr.. Hansen, although
a Democrat, is very much Disguised
with the calamity crowd and will us,
all his infiience-which is not small
by any means-to secure the election
of the Republican ticket this fall un
less the Democrats drop fusion and
put out straight Democratic ticket
The Humboldt Union offers time
ly reminder to those running irac
ton engines, of the restrictions placed
upon them by law. 1t is a criminal
offense for steam thresher to pass
through the streets of a village unless
team of horses is attached i'm front
In the country the law says that upon
the highway they must stop when
teams are passing and they must stop
before the teams are within 100 yards
of the thresher.
Just as a matter of curiosity we
kept tally Of the exchanges which
came to this Office during tho past
week, in which there WAS some men
ton of the lola REGISTER or some
quotation from its columns, and we
found the number to he thirty, which
is nearly so per cent of all those recei-
we'd. 1t would be interesting to- know
just how many thousand people were
thus made aware that there is such a
town as lola.
Most of our Normal excur-
siOnists to the Worlds Fair returned
home last Saturday, all of them more
than satisfied with their trip. Miss
Maude Minrow and Miss Wessie
Wise have not yet returned. the for
mer going to Ohio to spend the sum-
mer with friends, and the latter stop
ping at Normal Illinois to visit her
northumberland aunt, Mrs. and Miss
McCOrkle.
The Larued Eagle Optic has a sub
scriber who gets drunk every little
while and invariably insists on pay
ing years subscription. He is paid
up in advance to 1906.-Cdpitdl.
The REGISTER has a subscriber
who never paid us cent in his life
except when he was drunk. He is a
little over a year behind now, and we
are beginning to fear he has reformed.
We see by the X. C.. Times that
Bert Jones, who passed through there
recently with an excursion of Okla
hOma newspaper men to Chicago, has
a bet that he can make the trip with
out spending cent. If the man had
been very well acquainted with Bert
he never would have made such bet
as that.
Union: Now is the time, during
the dull season. when every live mer-
chant should use every legitimate and
worthy means to attract the attention
of the public to his goods and wares.
Good seed sOwn now i'm attracting
trade will return good and profitable
harvest later.
When you get to Chicago take
State street car and go to nth street,
and you will find yourself at the en-
trance of G.. K. Browns hotel. Ten

grounds. Rates soc, 75c and S1.OO a

Capt. Ewing, for several weeks, start |

always welcome his return.
Moran Herald: Mrs f. f. DeHart |
visited with her son at lola the first |
Of the week. Henry O'Harra |
IS one of the unfortunate ones who has |
had his pension taken away from him |
through the Interpretation of the pen
ion laws by the present reform adj
Miss Nettie Wise has returned from
Western Kansas, and is much i'm
proved in health, we are glad to note.
She says it was so hot out there that
he rain, which fell day or two be.
ore she left, fairly STATED as it fell
through the air, and most of it was
into steam before it reached
he ground.
By an error in printing the racing
program of the Allen County Agricul-
ural Society, one of the best races
vas left out entirely. This was J
nile running race, best two i'm three,
or a purse of 5000 and will be the
asst race on the second day. All in
crested will take notice.
Owing to the uncertainty prevailing
rs to railroad rates the excursion to
advertised to start from here
asst Monday under the management
II Mr.. Crandall, of. Colony, has been
until latter i'm the season.
Due notice will be given when the ex-
Ict date is determined upon.
We don't know of a pleasanter sum-
ner resort than lola has been thus far
his summer. We have hardly had
wO real sizzling hot days in success
ion, and all the nights have been cool.
