The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1894-12-21
ADDITIONAL LOCAL.

Rev. ID. Il. Shuey Will preach next
Sunday morning at the Reformed
church, in lola, and in the afternoon
at Allen Center.
The REGISTER wants to compli-
ment cur business men upon the hand
some window displays they are
making during the holiday season.
They are very pretty and attractive.
Prof. Max Reimer gives private les
sons in German, French, Latin or
Greek, either in classes or to individ-
uals. He is in Humboldt Mondays
and Thursdays, at Moran Wednes-
days, and the remainder of the week
at lola. Those wishing instruction in
either of the above branches may con-
suit with him at either of these
places.
Once in a long while some man Of
fers us dollar for the REGISTER a
wear and refuses to take it when we
decline to cut on the price. If we
should reduce the subscription price
to S1.O0 a year, it would not be two
wears before the same men would stop
taking it because we would not let
him have it for IS cents. There are
always some men who think they are
from quarter to half a dollar better
than their neighbors. And the less
time you waste in arguing with them
the richer you are.
Ifevery business man in lola should
have printed across the face of every
envelOp he send out the words, "IOla
has the biggest field of natural gas in
the West,n it would result in advertis-
ing our town better than could be
done in almost any other way. We
will do the printing upon any envelops
which may be brought in Cor ten cents
hundred. Upon any envelops that
we furnish ourselves we will print
this line in addition to the usual re-
turn card without extra charge.
The contribution which Prof. Picken
is soliciting for the support of the
Reading Room is % cents a month,
instead of that sum each quarter, as
enormously reported last week. He
has already secured so pledges, thus
assuring $12 so a month, which is a
great deal better than allowing one or
two to pay it all. The subscription
paper will be held open until January
|, and the list of contributors will
then be published in the REGISTER.
1t would be very gratifying indeed If
there could be an even hundred sign
AZURE to the pledge, for the object is
certainly most commendable one.
Last Mondays K. c. Journal had a
long and sensational report of the
clever way ia which three sharpers
had got around number of the prom
inent men of Bronson and buncoed
them out of several Thousand dollars
for territory rights to a certain patent
washing fluid. The result is that 20
men have sued the Journal for $4,000
damage apiece for libel, claiming that
the pu blication has injured their credit
and made it impossible for them to sell
their washing fluid. Whatever the
result of the suit maybe, there is no
doubt that the boys we're "worked" to
the Queens taste.
Rev. A. S. Freed gave his lecture
Tuesday night, as announced, to an
interested audience. Owing to other
engagements we were not able to be
present, to our great regret, but those
who were there say that the lecture
was entertaining and original, as all
Mr.. Freed addresses are. Mr.. Freed
says than Coffeyville is an armed
camp. There are pa Winchesters a.
round the square, and by system of
electric signals they can all be brought
into use at a moments notice. The
next gang that attempts robbery in
Coffeyviile will meet with a warmer
reception even than the Dalton's did.
We trust Miss Reimert intends to
continue indefinitely her plan of CIV
ing a yearly Art exhibit, for we have
come to look upon it as one OF the
pleasant features of the Holiday sea-
son. Last year the studio was visited
by several hundred people and many
more will probably avail themselves
of the opportunity this year. One
feature of the exhibit will be a paint
ing in oil of scene on the Neosho,
the old mill some ten miles up the
river, opposite which almost all our
picknickers are accustomed to camp
and eat dinner. The display of pic
lures will be larger than ever before
and no old pictures will be shown.
An interesting souvenir of the event
will be given each visitor, in the form
of cabinet photograph of the Marble
Block in which the studio is located.
Two facts have been pretty conelus-
lively settled in the minds of the
public-the first that the Royal Bak-
ing Powder Company has found the
means, and uses them, to make
chemically pure article of food and
the other that the market is full of
poisonous, alum and other adulterat-
ed baking powders, which, no matter
how strongly endorsed by CONNER
cial" chemists, are to be studiously
avoided.
A pure baking powder is one of the
chief aids to the cook in preparing
perfect and wholesome food. The re-
cent controversy in the press has left
it no longer aquestion with those who
desire purity and wholesomeness of
food what baking powder they shall
