Y. G. Democrat: George Scranton
was taken to lola Jail last Saturday
to serve out 30 day sentence for dis
pensing hop tea. The County Attor-
ney dismissed two of the counts, thus
leaving but one against him. His
sentence was 80 days in Jail and q fine
of 800 and costs. Six barrels of hop
tea which were foundInhis possession
were ordered to be publicly destroy
ed. This was done by the sheriff at
tie east side of the court house last
Saturday, i'm the presence of nearly
all the old topers in town. IL is use
less to remark that many briny tears
were shed.
The new Arlington, successor to
the Union Hotel, was formally opened
last Sunday with great dinner at
which nearly all the business men OF
lola and their wives assisted" most
efficiently and with great satisfaction
to themselves. The menu was very
elaborate, beginning with oysters and
ending with ice cream and fruit, and
including such delicacies as sliced to-
matoes, radishes and lettuce. Messrs.
Beaumont & Harris have had their
house repapered, reprinted and re-
furnished throughout. and are now
ready to entertain guests in first class
style, and everybody will wish them
the success they deserve.
Messrs Mcmillan & Moore, of the
Equitable Life Assurance Society Of
N. Y, are in town for the purpose Of
settling Tontine policy held by Mr..
H, l.. Henderson. Mr.. Henderson in
sured under this form of policy twen-
ty years ago and his policy is now
PAYABLE to him i'm cash, after having
enjoyed 20 years insurance for the ben
eft of his family. This form of AS
surance gives both protection to ones
family and at the same time affords
good safe investment i'm case the policy
holder survives the Tontine period.
Those desiring to protect their estate
and family in this way could do no
better than talk with these gentlemen
while here.
The w. r. C.. entertainment Tues
| day evening was great success. Inc
supper was sumptuOus and was well
patronized, and the stage program
was uncommonly entertaining. Ev-
erybody was glad to hear the Ladies
Giee Club again, as was evinced by
the hearty encore. But the "little
folksn on the program carried off the
honors, as usual. The recitatiOns by
| Louise DeClute and Roy Slower were
very pleasing indeed, while the sing
ing of little Lola Higgins fairly set the
audience wild. The child certainly
has a remarkable voice, as well as
great musical talent The net pro-
ceeds of the entertainment were about
SIS.

The REGISTER announces with sin
cere grief the death of j. w. ID. An
derson which occurred at Omaha,
Neb., last Tuesday, resulting from
typhoid fever, Mr.. Anderson was
we'll known in Allen county and was
much admired for his rich endowment
of head and heart, for his brilliant &C
uuirements, for his restless energy
and industry and for the sturdy up
rightness of his character. 1t seems
harsh and cruel decree that has cut
short life that promised so much ae-
complishment for the best and high
est things, and which was so rich in
blessing to all those who came within
the radius of its personal contact and
influence.
Joseph v. Dory, of Warsaw, ILL.,.
was troubled with rheumatism and
Z tried q number of different remedies,
but says none of them seemed to do
him any good; but finally he got hold
] of one that speedily cured him. He
was much pleased with it, and felt
sure that others similarly afflicted
would like to know what the remedy
, was that cured him. He states for
: the benefit of the public that it is CALI
ed Chamberlain's Pain Balm. For

: honest citizens whom it is misfor-
: tune to any community to lose and
n we greatly regret his departure, while
a wishing him good luck in his new
home.
