The Old And The New.

At high noon on Monday, January
s, the old sheriff and county clerk
and register of deeds stepped down
aud out, and the new ones stepped up
and in. Mr. Hobart, Mr.. Eckley and
Mr.. Nigh have each served two terms
in their respective offices and they re-
tire from them with the assurance
that their work has been faithful,
honest and satisfactory to the people
whom they served. Mr.. Hobart will
return the first of March to his farm
in Cottage Grove township. Mr..
Eckley sometime ago bought the
mound farm" just south of lola, and
he will devote his time to making it a
small fruit and stock farm. Mr.. Nigh
returned this week to his farm south
of lola, which he has recently greatly
improved The friends they have
made while in office, will hope that
their private life may be prosperous
and peaceful.
Mr.. Ausherman takes command at
the jail, with Harmon Hobart as
deputy. JAS. Wakefield steps into
the clerks office, where he will have
the help of Mr.. Eckley until he learns
the ropes. Clark Coffield takes the
recorders books, with which he will
be assisted for awhile by Miss Nellie
Shelter. Each of these officers is
qualified in an especial manner for the
duties of his office, and the REGISTER
predicts for each u successful admin
istration

Sedan Times-JOurndl: While the
papers and politicians are disputing
as to candidates it might as well be-
remembered that the people, the vot-
ers. do not care particularly as to who
the men are so that they are good Re-
publicans with sufficient ability and
Judgment to totally reverse the ad-
ministration of affairs as conducted
by Lewelling and the others of the f.
p. p. G. on earth. Another thing, the
rank and file of the party do not know
or care about is crowds, "old crowds"
"young crowds" or no crowds at all
are all the same to them; a Republic
can candidate is young enough or old
enough if he is able, honest and COM
petent to perform the duties of the
office for which he was nominated.

Obituary..

Silas l.. (more generally known as
Grandpa) Travis was born in Orange
county, New York, October 9th, 1918.
He was converted and Joined the Nj
E. church when about 1S years of age
Afterwards he united with the Pres
byterian church and was ordained all
elder. He returned to the denomination
of his first choice and remained a
faithful Christian until death. He
was for number of years a member
of the first NJ. L. Church of Newburg,
New York, where he became an
active worker in the Sunday School.
Ho believed that he was called by
God to teach in the Sunday School,
and in pursuance of this call he be-
lieved it his duty to prepare for the
work to the utmost of his ability. To
do this he procured and used a large
and well selected theological library.
He came to Kansas i'm 1879 and set
tied on the claim 4! miles east of lola
where he remained until his death
which occurred December q, 1893.
He has been the same active work
er in Kansas that he was in the east,
being one of the leaders i'm founding
and building the church at LaHarpe.
He was married to Rosanna Hare,
November End, 1910 who walked by
his side for little over fifty-three
years and who with son, daughter,
and six grand children mourn an ir-
reparable loss. L. JIG.

Your Choice For Governor.

1t is practically conceded that the
nominee of the next Republican con-
vention will be elected. And it is
also conceded that the people, and
not the ''fixers," shall say who that
nominee shall be. 1t becomes inn
portant, therefore, that the people
should be making up their minds
whom they prefer, and should express
that preference. To this end the
REGISTER offers its columns to the
Republicans of this county for dis
cussion of their choice among the can
didates. 1t is to be presumed, of
course. that great many, perhans a
majority of the srty, have no person
al choice, caring only that some able,
honest, clean man be nominated. But
there are doubtless others who do
have a personal preference and these
are the ones we want to hear from.
Tell us briefly whom you want and
why you want him.

A New Scheme.

The REGISTER expects to begin
soon the publication of a series of BIZ
ographical sketches of well known
people ~f Allen county. The sketches
will be accompanied by portraits. and
we believe they will prove interesting
to every citizen of the county. They
will be valuable also as historical
data, for the history of any commu-
nifty is largely the history of the
individuals who compose it. The
series will be an expensive one to the
REGISTER, for the portraits published
will be good ones and will cost mon
ey. But we are determined to make
the REGISTER indispensable to every
intelligent family in Allen county if
possible, and we believe this series of
articles will help along in that direc-
ton. Tell your neighbor that he
must subscribe now so as to get all
these sketches, as the first one will
probably appear next week or the
week after.

A Story About Funston &.

Franklin, und) Republican.
Edward II. Funston is now, and fol
several years past has been, a repre-
sentative in Congress from a Kansas
district. He is one of the rdris dUi
that did not get caught in the Populist
storm which swept his State. Mr..
Funston was at one time, back in the
fifties, school teacher in Franklin
township. He taught in District No.
/, and boarded IN the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Jos. V. Covert which has shelf
cred under its hospitable roof very
large proportion of the pedagogues
who have taught the young idea how
TO shoot in that particular hunting
ground. On Monday evening as Mr..
Covert was waiting for the train for
Chicago the conversation turned to-
ward Congress and to Hon. Ed Funs-
ton. Mr.. Covert recalled the fact that
Funston was fond ola joke and pranks
generally. He said that Funston fire.
quently told of the pranks played by
the boys while he was in college at
Marietta, Ohio. OF course Funston
was not party of them. When he
was teaching at No. /, Funston was
already at that age when he was with
some degree of propriety called
bachelor. One evening he was away
from COvert's at the home of a neigh
Dor, VIM. Amos. In his absence
Covert fixed up a dummy" put a
night cap on it and placed it in Funs-
toms bed. When Funston came in
and struck a light he was almost
scared out of his wits at the wholly
unusual sight. He hurried into
COvert's room and gasped out:
"What woman is that you've put in
my bed?"
A burst of laughter revealed to him
the whole business. Mr.. Covert re-
lates of Funston that he was a con-
slant reader of Lord Byron's works
and others of similar character. Mr..
Funston now lives OH his farm near
lola, Allen county, and seems to have
a pretty good grip on his farmer con-
stituents. In his rugged common
sense and political shrewdness he
somewhat resembles our own Judge

A Earmers' Institute


There is talk among some of the
wide awake farmers OF the county OF
having a Farmers Institute" at
some place in the county sometime
during the spring. The idea is good
one and We hope to see it acted upon.
Let the Horticultural Society, which
is always in good working order, take
the lead in the matter, and fix the
time and place and arrange the pro-
gram. 1t would be easy enough to Sc
cure addresses. One or more of the Pro-
fessors at the Agricultural College
would doubtless be willing to come.
So would Secretary Mohler, of the
State Board of Agriculture. And it
is entirely likely that Chancellor Snow
would be willing to come and tell us
all about his chinch bug killer. In
addition to these "foreign addresses"
there might be short talks by some of
our own folks about some branch of
farming they have made speciality.
Capt. Stewart, of Cottage Grove,
might tell about his sile. Hon. l.. b.
Pearson has scheme or..twO about
raising hogs that would be worth
hearing. Harry Thomas, of lola,
knows whole book full about rails
ing chickens. Joe Beatty, of Usage,
ought to be put upon oath and COM
PEELED to tell how he manages tomake
money every year out of cattle, no
matter what the price is. And so on
and so on. 1t would be very SIM
pie matter indeed to arrange pro.
gram occupying day or two, that
would be suggestive, instructive and
in every way helpful. We very
much hope that it will be done.

Allen County Teachers Association

At the appointed time the Associa
ton was called to order, H. H. Jones
was elected President, pro tenn, in the
absence of G. w. Smith.
About thirty teachers were present
at this session and the lesson in Psy.
chology, was conducted by Prof. Pick
en- in his usual interesting manner.
The lesson in spelling and prOnun.
citation was led by Miss Carrie Strong
Several present learned correct pro-
nunciations, as was evinced by their
incorrect attempts at prOnOuncing
given words.
Following came adjournment for
dinner, after which all reassembled
for the remainder of the program.
6. w. Smith then being present
took charge of this session. The Sec
rotary being absent the roll was call
ed by the passage Of slips upon which
about sixty or seventy teachers an
swered present" by signing their re-
spective names.
Supt. Jones then put forth a propo-
sition for joint association of Allen
and WOodson county teachers at lola
some time in the month of May. This
met with the hearty support of all
present. A similar meeting of the
two counties will be held in Yates
Center some time in the near future.
but as yet no definite date has been
set. Free entertainment and reduced
railroad fare are assured teachers at
tending, also credit for the attendance
will be given the same as if it was in
our own county.
Miss Clifford Mitchell conducted
the recitation in History of Education,
but as usual many answered "unpre-
pared" but in spite of this much in

doubt those unprspared felt chat
they had learned much by their lis
tening.
Miss Whites Model Recitation in
Reading was one in which many car
ried away valuable ideas.
The Resume of 1893 by Miss Cora
Johnson contained many good
thoughts and ideas which if carried
out by the teacher would show a
marked improvement in some points
