We heard that a new oil well was
struck at NeOdesha yesterday which
is the best one yet found. Theexcite-
ment in this county has subsidized
somewhat but negotiations are under
way to have some prospect wells sunk
in a short time. The result will be
awaited with much patience.
That rasping, seraping sound with
an occasional click up in the vicinity
of the court house is not made by
Benefits and Travis official boOms
rubbing against each other as they
come down stairs together; it is only
j. Clark COffield steadily filing oil
leases and laying away the hard iron
dollars.
If you want to pay cash for your
groceries, and you have received a

city house that you think is a great
snap, take it to Klaumann and he

VIM Groomer, who has been at
work on a farm which he rented in
Neosho county, near Morehead, since
the first of March, came up this week
to get the remainder of his stock and
household goods. He says they are
drilling for oil at several places near
him, and ale employing great many
men in various ways.
At the meeting of the Republican
central committee last Saturday two
county conventions were called, one
to be held May II for the selection of
delegates to the Congressional and
State conventions, and the other, to
be held June 10. for the nomination of
county candidates. The call for the
former is published in this issue.
A Union service of the Methodist
and Presbyterian congregations will
be held in the Presbyterian church
on next Sunday evening, at which
time an interesting temperance pro-
gram will be given by members of
the two Sunday schools, and brief
address will be given by Rev. James
Hunter of the Methodist church.
The marshal "pulled" a poker game
Sunday morning about two O'Clock,
and three young men who are old
enough to know better and who
haven't got any money to throw at the
birds, are a good deal poorer than
they were before the police court got
its clutches on them. They will be
poor all their lives-poor in purse,
which is bad, but poorer in good
name, which is infinitely wOrse-if
they follow on in the way they have
started.
Persons who are subject to attacks
of bilious collie can almost invaria bly,
tell, by their feelings, when to expect
an attack. If Chamberlain's Collie,
| Cholera and DiarrhRa Remedy is
taken as soon as these symptoms APP
pear, they can ward off the disease.
Such persons should always keep the
| Remedy at hand, ready for immedi-
ate use when needed. Two or three
doses of it at the right time will save
them much suffering. For sale by

We have received notice from the
| Chicago Inter- Ocean that the con-
| Il, II sal,
nishing that splendid paper in con-
nection with the REGISTER for S1.SO 8
year, will expire June 1st., and after
that the price of the two papers will
be $3.50 a year. This leaves only 8
short time for our readers to avail
themselves of this great offer and we
hope several hundred will take adj
vantage of it. A chance to get yOul
home paper and one of the best city
weeklies i'm the United States for only
80 cents more than the price of one
alone, ought not to be neglected.
| The friends of Geo. A. Bowlus expect If Goa
oil is found in large quantities in this county
and it will be-thst George will be the Rookie

And nobody would better deserve
it. George A. Bowlus has spent
more money for Allen cOunty-teI
times as much considering his mean;
than any other man i'm it. He has
helped her poor, contributed to hel
churches and schools, "chipped in
to forward all her enterprises, and in
vested whatever was left in her gOOC
earth. If anybody deserves to gel
rich out of any good fortune that may
come to Allen county it is George A
BOwlus.
The new city government got under
way on Thursday evening of las
W eek, all the new councilmeD being
present and qualifying. The ap
pointive offices were filled as follows
Attorney T. S: Slower; Treasurer, w
j. Evans; Clerk, w. A. COwan; Stree
Commissioner, E. j. Thayer; Mar
shall, 7. T. Anderson; Assistan
Marshal and Night Police, J. p. Nc
Mutt. The committees were re-or
ganized as follows: Streets ant
Alleys: Nj. P. Jacoby, ]. w. Coutant
J. ID. Arnett. Finance, J. w. COu
tant, NJ. p. Jacoby, VIM Hawkins
Public grounds: A. l.. Harmon, ]
d. Arnett, VIM Hawkins. The ap
pointments made are all eminentll
satisfactory. The experiment triec
last year of combining the Office o
street commissioner and marshal die
not work we'll, as the duties frequent
ly conflicted. 1t will not be contin
ued therefore. Instead We will hav
a street commissioner at Sl.50 day
and marshal and assistant at S25 ;
month each. The expense will b.
about the same, but it is expected tina
the results will be better.
