CINCINNATI, May 9.-The stockholders of
The Commercial-Gazctte held their annual
meeting and Perry >. Heath was elected
president and general manager. The new
board abolished the offices OF vice president
and treasurer and the offices of secretary
and treasurer were made one. This drops
altogether from the management of the
paper Murat Iialstead, who has been at
the head 50 many years. His two SONS,
Marshall and Albert. are also out.

Allen Center had fishing party
few days ago in Honor of Rev. Faust
which was very much enjoyed by all.
Mr.. Webster and Miss Alice john
son were calling on friends last We'd

week. 80. Mr.. and Mrs. DeClute of

hood last week. -. Mr.. McClelland
has the best field of corn in the neigh
borhood. One of the most enjoyable
days it has been our privilege to enjoy
was spent at the residence of E. l.
Crowell last Saturday. The occasion
was a birthday surprise for Mrs.
Crowell. Saturday morning she went
with her husband to town. About
noon they returned and found the
house and yard full of friends, and q
bOuntiful table set full of the good
things of the land, among them, ice
cream, cake and lemonade. The
afternoon was spent in pleasant con-
versation. music and croquet. g. We
had pleasant rains Monday and Tues
day.. The Woman's right cOnven-

grand success. Who can look upon
the work of these women and then

she represents. For nearly an hour
and half she held the closest atten-
ton of her audience, provoking at will
the serious thought, the smile, the
round of applause.
Her request for the ballot was not
for herself as a woman, but for her
self as a person. Her treatment of the
whole subject was fair, yet keen; by
incident and fact, developing her idea
of incongenienty in existing conditions
to be harmonized only through ad-
mitting women to equal suffrage
rights with man.
The Tuesday afternoon session was
opened with song by Glee club, pray
or by Rev. Nj. F. King and with Mrs.
Shaffer, the pres. in the chair. Miss
E. u. Yates OF Maine, directed in the
business of organization by voting
precincts and in election of Miss
Alice Pearson as county organizer.
Mr.. G. 8. Ritter, addressed the con-
vention, among other things declar-
ing the necessity for an old fashioned
mOurners bench for the obstreperous
men, and that the only possibly..true,
fair, and manly thing for the forth
coming political conventions to do, is
to declare in their platforms for or
against equal suffrage.
Miss Yates spoke of Kansas con-
spicuous position i'm history, so much
of which is credible, of the historic
words of Ex-Governor Robinson with
which he signed his appeal to eastern
friends for aid in those early trying
days. "In haste, yours for the free
dom of the world". In many things
Kansas has led, in this eventful,
epoch making issue she should break
the shackles of the past, and still lead
in the enfranchisement of righteous
ness and truth
The evening session was called to
order by the president and after q
song by the Glee club and q prayer
by Rev. l.. 8. Faust, Mr.. w. A. Cho-
quill of Humboldt made short ad-
dress in advocacy of the cause. Mrs.
Shaffer then introduced Miss Yates
who spoke for over an hour in logical
and eloquent championship of the
Equal Suffrage Amendment. Hell
address was persistently argumenta.

high order of intellectual and ora

EQUAL SUFFRAGE CONVENTION.

The various congregations of lola
met in a union service in the Opera
House on last Sunday evening and
were treated to sermon of great
force and spiritual power by the Rev.
Auna II. Shaw, who is in Kansas adj
vocating the adoption of the Equal
Suffrage amendment. The main
thought of the sermon was the neces-
sity of vision of the unaccomplished
as a means to success in life. Though
not part of the Convention, proper,
il was a rich treat for her audience
and fitting preface to the work of
the two following days.
The convention was called to order
at eight o'clock on Monday evening
by Miss Helen l.. Kimber, OfParsons.
A song by the Glee club, and a pray
er by Rev. James Hunter was fol-
lowed by organization of the county
work, with Mrs. l.. Shaffer, Pres,
Miss Matte Thayer, Sec. and Mrs. E.
A. Cunningham, treas.
Capt. II. A. Ewing delivered the
address of welcome in which he set
forth in cordially approved eloquence
the beauty, the taste, the morals and
the hospitable spirit of our "Prairie
City of the Neosho." Hon. l.. b. Pear
son followed in brief address of well
come for the county of Allen. Miss
Anna Shaw, being introduced re-
sponded to the gentlemen in fitting
words after which she turned prompt

HOW 1T WAS MANAGED.
Crowded out from last week }

CROWDED out from last week
The editor of the REGISTER was out
of town on Wednesday of last week,
and hence no report appeared in this
paper of the Populist county conven-
tlon held on that day for the election
of delegates to the State and Congress
sional conventions. We learn, how
ever, that there was good deal of a
demonstrations and procession with
flags and motto and clowns and all
that sort of thing-2nd some surprise
has been expressed that there should
have been so large turnout when
the convention was not advertised
and no special effort made to get the
people out.
And right there is where the mis-
take comes in.
There probably never was politi-
cal meeting worked up with greater
care and effort than this same county
convention. An extract from a secret
circular letter sent out by the Popu.
list State Committee to Populist work.
ers i'm every precinct will show how
the thing was done. After recon-
mendIng the calling of county conven-
tions on the oath of May, the circular
said:
Another matter which must receive special
attention at your hands is the urging of our
people 10 attend the county convention We
have decided to have a rally in each county on
that date and this will be done trith0Ht anu. dd-
rertising, and you will not know before going to
the convention who will address you, but will
undertake TO send to each county in the State
speaker who will entertain any audieI C, that
may assemble. We desire on that date to make
a demonstration at the county seats that viii
convince the opposition that the Peoples party
is not dead nor sleeping but that ii is alive aud
active and determined TO succeed at the polls in
November. In order 10 accomplish this, every
Populist can afford TO take day off. take his
team, his wife and babies, and his farm help
and go to town. He can render his party valu.
able service in this manner, and at the same
time have a day for recreation and pleasure
will depend upon you to see that this informa-
ton is communicated TO every Populist in your
precinct
Easy enough, isn't it, when you
know how it was done?
But the circular does not stop with
the county conventions. Ii proposes
to have another spontaneous upris-
ing" at the State convention. And
this is the way it is to be done:
Should you reside within IS miles of Topeka,
/ hope you will arrange TO send one or more
t.vn day, June 18th, to participate in the parade
we hope to have on that day WITHOUT ANY AD-
vERTIsING. Please advise me what you think
of the idea of some of our people coming here
by team, and state how many teams you could
furnish. You WILL PLEASE KEEP THIS MATTER
QUIET.
Talk about old party scheming!
Why. compared with this new party
the Republican and Democratic par
ties are guileless infants. Only when
their scheming is brought to the light
of day, it does seem so foolish and
ridiculous! a good deal like the ora
tor who apologies because he has
had no time for preparation and then
takes his manuscript from his pocket
and reads an elaborate address

Normal Notes.

At o'clock Monday June 4, the
large bell in the lola school building
announced the opening of one of the
most promising Institutes the county
has ever known. And it thrills ones
animation to witness, and be among
such a large body of enthusiastic and
intelligent people of our county.
The arrangement of the work, its
divisions and character, seems so
commendable, that all appear not only
satisfied but happy.
After singing, and devotional exer-
else, the latter being led by Rev.
Hunter, Supt. Jones proceeded to the
enrolment of members, and explana-
ton of work and management. And
the Supt. may well'feel complimented
ON the attendance and the manner in
which the machine moved of.
The very fact that Prof. Estey is
conducting the Institute, insures sue
cess.
By the way when did you ever
know of a u ore pleasant, congenial
man, and where did you ever meet
better instructor than Mr.. Estey? Prof.
Estey took charge, and is pushing the
work in a way that pleases all.
AS to the instructors, Prof. Wishard
is already famous here, and all make
a rush for his classes.
Mr.. u. r. Courtney is dintinguish-
ing himself, especially in the music
department.
Prof. Fogleman's classes are already
becoming attached to their new in
structor.
Miss Burkholder's reading classes
will certainly profit by their oppor-
tuuity to improve in the art of read
ing, and teaching reading.
And now don't forget to visit the
kindergarten and see Miss Arnold
and 25 bright and happy little ones at
work, its treat.
One feature of this Institute, which
is of much interest is the county ex-
hibit work. You can amuse yourself
profitably several hours viewing the
different excellent works.
There is such variety of beautiful
maps, drawings and modelling and in
fact all kinds of school work that it is
certainly very interesting. Don't
forget to visit the room and see what
the youth of Allen county can do.
And, as a whole: the Institute is
worthy of much admiration, and as
many of our people as can should not
fail to come in and see all the different
departments, then you will be better
able to appreciate its value.
AS to numbers, the Institute is
booming. Up to Wednesday l57 had
enrolled in the Normal department
and % in the kindergarten, making a
total of 1S2.

OBITUARY.
Garnctt Eagle.

Garrett Eagle.
Mr.. Samuel Buchanan was born in
Kentucky on April 4th, 1925. At the
age of thirteen he went to Milroy,
Indiana, where he lived until grown
up, thence the family moved to Mon
roe County, Iowa. In the year 1848
he married Miss Mary A. SnOdgrass.
1t was long and happy union-she
still survives him.
In 1867 he moved to Garnett, Kan,
where he resided for twelve years;
from thence he moved to Welda,
where he has since resided until his
death on Monday, May 21st, while
eating at the supper table. He leaves
to mourn his loss devoted wife and
four children: Mrs. Jennie Ruth,
Mrs. Minnie Wilkin, Mrs. Emma
Mossman and Mr.. Line Buchanan.
There is also a brother and sister liv-
ing: Mr.. VIM Buchanan, of lola, and
Mrs. Innis, of Nashville, Ind.
Mr.. Buchanan had a good memory
and had a stOrehouse of anecdotes and
illustrations which he could use with
power, whether in conversation, poll
tics or religion. AS to his religion he
early connected himself with the as
sociate church at the union in 1858 of
two churches, he at once Unidentified
himself with the Union Presbyterians
of which church he has been o men,
Der ever since.
His love for the house of God was
intense and as natural result he was
faithful in his attendance on the Ordi-
nances. One thing seemed to be up
permost i'm his mind during his aff1ict-
ions "having longing desire to de-
part and be with Jesus which is far
better" f. f. M. >.
