and that no criminal would be appre-
hended as q result of its labOrs. We
take it all back. At least we take
more than half of it back. The total
cost was S459. And if nobody is ar
rested but the man who is now in jail,
it was dirt cheap. This man is Iser,
who has been running joint at Hum
boldt off and on for great many
wears. He was arrested once before,
but he made such pitiful plea and
promised so solemnly that he would
never. never sell whiskey again, that
he was let off easy. This time the
grand Jury indicted him on 10 counts.
He got some wind of it, and last Sun
day he came up to ask Sheriff Hobart
if he had a warrant for him. The
Sheriff told him he had and thanked
him for coming to give himself up.
"But | didn't come to give myself
upu. said Iser. "Well then l place
YOU under arrest" said the Sheriff.
"Oh, but you can't arrest me ON sun
day. said Iser. 81 guess l can. Step
this way.n And the Sheriff conduct
ed him to one of the cells. 1t was
shabby trick that Choguill and some
of the other Humboldt fellows played
on the poor devil, making him believe
that he could not be arrested on Sum-
day, but the joke is greatly relished-
by everybody but Iser. We have had
fun enough out of it to pay our share
of the cost of the grand jury. So we
take it back. We guess "a grand jury
once in about four years-it is that
long since we have had One-is worth
all it costs.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cunningham and Ar
thur have returned from an extended
visit to the biggest show on earth.
"The longer one stays there, says Mr..
Cunningham, "the bigger it gets.
Everything about it is big. In the
forestry building, for example, is
walnut log 81 feet in diameter and 10
feet long, the biggest on earth. And
it came from Kansas. Close to this
building is the Big Tree Restaurant
which has for counter log brought
from Washington that is 10 feet lOpg
and four feet square. This log was
cut from tree 225 feet long. 1t re-
uuired three "a foot cars to haul the
log from the State of Washington. In
the south end of the forestry bdilding
is a board 16 feet 5 inches wide, II
feet 8 inches long and five inches
thick-cut from California red wood
tree that was 81 feet i'm diameter.
There are a whole lot of other big
things too numerous to mention. And
it doesn't cost SO very much to see
them either. 1t didn't cost us to ex-
coed S2.apiece day, and we took i'm
a good many of the side shows too.
Two or three persons ought to go to-
gether. 1t is cheaper in proportion
and they can see more and see it cas-
Ter. 1t is a great show, and / hope
every body i'm A lien county can 60"
Ifanybody was influenced to go to
Humboldt on the Fourth by the little
remark i'm the REGISTER about beer,
and got fooled, we are-glad of it !
We understand that everybody i'm
Humboldt was mad when the REGIS
TER reached them last week and
swore they would have "dry"
Fourth if they all shrivelled up and
blew away for it. And they did.
Those who went down from here say
there was tremendous crowd, that
everybody was well entertained, and
that there was not drop of beer to be
seen or smelt or heard Of The REG
IsTER is very glad indeed to make
this record and rejoices at the good
result produced by its little joke.

the sitting of the grand jury. Hum

w good many Republicans of the
First commissioners district have
lately suggested the name of n. H..
Ard, of Elsmore, as suitable candi-
date for county commissioner on the
Republican ticket. The suggestion
strikes us very favOrably. MIR. Ard is
q good, level-headed business man.
He is an old resident of the county.
He has been always hard worker
for the Republican party, and has
never asked pOr received anything at
its hands"And Elsmore township,
although the largest in the county,
has never yet had county commits
sioner. If the Republicans of the
First district conclude to make MIR.
Ard their candidate we believe he
would hang Brother Braucher's hide
on the fence.
Last fall was taken with kind of
summer complaint, accompanied with
a wonderful diarrhOea. Soon after my
wife's sister, who lives with us, was
taken i'm the same way. We used al
most everything without benefit.
Then / said, let us try Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and DiarrhOea Remedy
which we did, and that cured us right
away. think much of it, as it did
for me what it was recommended to
do. John Hertzler, Bethel, Berks Co.

VIM. Cunningham has been sizing
up Chicago, and finds that it is 26 mil
es long and 10 miles wide. 1t has %
miles of lake front and has 2,2lO miles
of streets. 1t covers more ground
than Humboldt, Salem, Cottage
Grove and elsmOre townships, and
has over four hundred miles of street
railways that carry $50, 900 passengers

Comparing Mr.. Dibble's weather
report with Prof. Shows we find that
we had two inches more rain here
during June than they had at Law
renee. and that it was two degrees
cooler here on the average. During
the six months now ended they had
20. As inches of rain at Lawrence while
we have had %. inches.
Rev. ID. b. Shuey was here last
Sunday and assisted in installing the
new pastor of the Reformed church,
Rev. l.. S. Faust. Mr.. Faust is a
young man who comes direct from
the Lancaster PA Seminary to lola
as his first charge. We hope that the
liking between him and his cOngrega-
ton will be mutual.

Mrs. F. A. NOrthrup have returned
