ANOTHER PORTRAIT SERIES.

The REGISTER offers its readers
this week the beginning of another
series of portrait biographical sketch
es which cannot fail to be of the deep
est interest. This series will alter
nate with our local portrait service.
1t begins with Geo. w. Martin, of
Kansas City, Kansas, prominent
candidate for Governor, aud will take
up in turn large number of men of
State reputation, particularly those
who are the most talked about just
now in connection with State politics
We are able to offer these articles
through the courtesy of Mr.. Arthur
Capper, in whose excellent paper,
ihe Topeka Mail, they first appear
ed.
With two series of biographical ar
ticles running alternate weeks, one
giving the portrait and life of men
whom we all know, and the other
picturing the men whom we all want
to know, the REGISTER feels as if it
were getting the better of the dull
times and giving its readers some
thing to interest them, even if there is
nothing going on"

PAYS TO RE HONEST.

Messrs Beck & Perry who have been
buying broom corn here this season,
have handed us letter from the Ur-
bana, o., firm to which they have
been selling, from which we quote the
following:
We are having lots of kicking on the Kansas
brush Sold cars last week and find lots OF
seed and trash in the middle of over one-hsli
the bales. This not only makes it bad for the
poor lots but ii casts a suspicion over all Kan
sas brush and compels To sell it from S. TO SIC
a ton less than Illinois brush of the same grade.
The man who bought two cars wanted 3more
cars. but now says he will not buy any Kansas
stock. The result Of il all is that ii is hard To
sell Kansas stock at all, and the honest grower
suffers with the rascal. If your brush this year
was handled as the central Illinois growers
handle theirs il would bring the grower S. TO
$40 more per ton Can't you do something tn
get the growers to put mp better bales, do better
cleaning and quit stuifiDg with trash? If this
were done your grade would command the high
est market price, and you would soon have a
reputation that would bring plenty of buyers to
your very doors. AS ii is fully two thirds of all
the buyers, and the other third suffers on &C.
count of bad company.
This is pretty severe talk, but we
print it in the hope that somebody
may profit by it. The letter shows
very clearly that it doesn't pay to be
dishonest.

Mustered Out

Died: At his home near lola, at
2:3O p. IN. Monday, Feb. 10, 1894, Hugh
H. Means, in the 74th year of his age.
The deceased was born in New
Wilmington, Pa, June 8, 1920, and
lived there until the breaking out of
the war when he enlisted as a private
in Company B., 100 Penn. Inf, and
served till the close of the war. Re-
turning from the army he went to
Iowa where he engaged in the mer-
camille business for short time. AT
wards he lived in Indiana, Illinois
and Ohio, coming to Kansas in 1881
and locating on the farm near lola
where he remained until his death.
Mr.. Means was married in 1884 to
Mrs. Harriet Hunter, who with her
two sons, Orlando and Joseph Hun
ter. survive him. OF his fathers fam
ily. three brothers and five sisters are
still living.
The illness from which death at
last resulted began in an attack OF the
grip two years ago from which the pa
tient never fully recovered.
The deceased was an Odd Fellow, a
member of the G. a. r. and of the
Presbyterian church, and the funeral
which took place on Wednesday was
attended largely by members of those
orders and conducted by Rev. Squier.

Married

On February p, 1894 at the resi-
dence OF Clark Cleaver, Oscar r.
Heath and Miss Lille Cleaver were
united in marriage at u o'clock in the
presenceof 60 invited guests. Although
the DAY wassrstormy and threatening,
the face of every one was bright and
cheerful, and well they might be, es-
pecially when they surrounded the
table. o, such dinner as was served
to sixty people, is not prepared only
by those experienced hands that
know how to prepare on such occas-
ions. Everything to perfection, that
is inviting to an appreciative company.
Presents were in abundance and the
hearty good wishes and eongratu-
lations and long live the bride and
groom were extended by all present.
The ceremony was performed by
Rev. w. l.. STONE.

lana OIIlC6 Ill 1000, Dub Wueu AHuy
Johnson came into power i'm 1866 Mar
tin was the first removal he made in
Kansas. Mr.. Martin served two years
as assessor of internal revenue when
the district extended from Manhattan
to the west line of the State. He was
the first federal officer reinstated by
General Grant when he became presi-
dent i'm 1869, and after serving two
years as register, the office was moved
from Junction City to Salina. In 1873
Mr.. Martin was elected state printer
and was reelected in 10, III and 10,
and in 1881 turned the office over to r..
D. Thacher While state printer, Mr..
Martin made many improvements in
the character of the work and he was
counted one of the best officers the
State ever had. In 1873 he printed r.
600 copies of the school laws for S137S
less than 10000 copies cost the year
before; nobody ever charged him with
plundering the treasury; he saved
money for the state when it was pos
sible to do so instead of filling his own
pockets. Retiring from the office of
state printer Mr.. Martin returned to
the Junction City Union and served
in 1888 and 1884 as mayor of Junction
City. In the year 1888, he was a
member of the legislature from Geary
county. The only secret society
Mr.. Martin ever belonged to was the
L. o. o. f. and in 1871 and in 1872 no
was grand master of that organization;
in rs and 76 he was member of the
grand lodge OF the United States. In
July 1888, he went to Kansas City,
Kan, and bought the Gazette which
he soon made one of the most infiuen-
tial newspapers of the state. For
years he has been regarded one of the
most forcible writer's i'm Kansas. The
editorial page of the Gazette contains
good meat, day in and day out, all
the year round and it ranks with any
in the state. The three prominent
qualities in the makeup of George
Martin, are his independence, courage
and integrity. In politics he has al
ways been a sort of free lance. He
has never been afraid to break loose
from bosses and corrupt gangs in poll
tics. He led the fight for John A.
Anderson a few years ago when he
made his great race for Congress as
an independent candidate. He was
also one of the leaders of the fight
against John p. st. John when he
was running for third term.
His newspaper, the Gazette, never
lodges; it speaks out on every ques-
ton; of the public men of Kansas to-
day, none has sitter back bone
than George Martin. If he was plac-
ed in the Governors chair he would
be the governor from the day he land
ed there until the day his term of Of
flee expired, and he would be one of
the most level-headed chief executives
the State ever had.

Fix This Road.

EDITOR REGISTER.-We the people
who live southeast of lola have a
grievance which we would like to put
before some one so that the cause of 1t
may be remedied.
The condition of the road east from
what has been known as the Cook
farm south of lola is deplorable. No
work has been done upon it for long
time. The water from the mound has
cut great bitches in what should be
the road so that it is difficult to drive
over it with heavy load, and to make
matters worse the draw at the foot of
the hill has became so badly cut by
water, mo bridge in iD that it is al
most impossible to cross it with load
ed wagon and not have an Overturn.
The crossing at Northrup's ford is
risky so you see we do not have very
easy time to get to lola with our
heavy produce.
Yours Truly,

OIL AFTER AWHILE.
a
says:

A recent dispatch from Neodesha
says:
Yesterday afternoon one of the new Guffey x
Galley oil wells near here was shot with thir-
ty-two quarts of nitro-glycerine and within ten
minutes an immense volume of petroleum vas
thrown with great force to a height of eighty
feet The well flows great volumes of oil at ln-
tervals of twenty minutes and although the
pumps were soon put to work many barrels es-
aped and for some distance around the derrick
the oil covers the ground to a depth OF from
four inches to ten iuches.
While this is good news for Neode-
sha it is hardly less so to lola. There
seems to be no question that the nat
ural gas which has been found at the
two places comes from the same geo.
logical formation, and the finding of
oil at Neodesha makes it almost GER
tain that the same product may be
found here. Mr.. Pryor, who has had
years of experience in Pennsylvania,
has always been confident that oil
could be found here, and intends to
prospect for it as soon as he has time
