Picken and wife are conducting a very
successful institute at EldOradO. The
professor has been elected superinten-
dent of the lola schools for the third
time, a compliment which is indeed
valuable when We consider the fact
that lola is one of the best school
towns in the State. Prof. Picken is
one of the most successful educators
in Kansas and Mrs. Picken has no su-
perior in her line of work. They did
a great deal to build up the schools of
Eureka and our best wishes will fol-
low them wherever they may go.
The editor of the REGISTER has
taken the liberty of inviting Hon. f..
| w. Hoch, of Marion, to be in lola on
July nth, and address the Republi-
can county convention, and he writes
US that he will be here if nothing hap
pens to prevent. This ia great good
luck. Mr.. Hoch was one Of the most
trusted Republican leaders during the
Topeka war, he is q good speaker,
and, better than all, he is an honest
man il there ever was one on earth.

he comes and hear him.
Clarence Carter, one of the REGIS
TIERS old boys, is down from Kansas
City, for a short rest. He has been
working for the past month in regu-
lar "black hole of Calcutta, a badly
ventilated room about twenty feet
square, in which 30 printers set type
by gas light all day. Clarence was
about the only one whs got out with
out serious sickness. He comes up in
to this office every day and stands up
to his old case just from force of hab-
it. He amuses himself this way and
by going fishing.
MIR. J. H. Wilson, who recently
came over from Missouri and bought
the Shelter farm, north of lola, was
| in town Saturday to subscribe for the
REGISTER. Mr.. Wilson has named
his new home 1.-THE Blue Grass

He is the "kind of people" we are
all glad to welcome.
A man in New Hampshire saw the
advertisement of Reimert & MeNiePs
photograph gallery, and as a result
that enterprising firm sent him 500
worth of photographs,-views of GER

You can never tell where an adver-
tisement is going to strike; but you
can be very sure it will strike some
where.
AS appears from letter printed in
this issue, ID. ID. Britton has decided

make him a formidable candidate be-
fore the convention.
