over two months with a very severe
attack of rheumatism. We could get
nothing that would afford her any re-
lief, and as a last resort gave Cham
berlain's Pain Balm a trial. To our
great surprise she began to improve
after the first application, and by
using it regularly she was soon able
to get up and attend to her house
work. T.. HI. Johnson, of C.. j. Knut-

In every respect except financially
the play Caprice" given for the
benefit of the Band at the Opera
House last Friday night was pro-
nounced success. The play itself,
while very light, is quite bright and
witty, and it was excellently we'll
played, as was to have been expected
from the clever young people who
took the parts. The heaviest roll,
that of the heroine, was taken by Miss
Dot Harris, and it was very strongly
done. the climax of the third scene
being especially fine. For some rea-
son the attendance was not large, the
total door receipts being only $40 10.
The share of this coming to Mr.. and
Mrs. Lawrence, who got up the play,
was not enough to pay the bills they
had incurred and as they were about
to leave town their trunk was attach
ed A compromise was made, how
ever, and they were permitted to de-
part for Kansas City where transpOr-
tatiOn awaited them to the home Of
Mrs. Lawrence i'm Illinois. The
theatrical business is apt to be pre-

| 1t has been long time since any
funeral in lola was so largely attend
ed as was that of Clifford, son of Mr..
and Mrs. J. G.. Coffield, report of
which is given by our Spring Branch
correspondents. The old neighbOrs in
the country, from miles around, fol.
lowed the hearse to lola, making
procession nearly mile long. AS
lola was reached the procession was
joined by the school children, bring
ing wreaths of flowers. AT the Bap-
fist church considerable congregat-
ion had already gathered, so that
many were unable togain admittance.
1t was touching, beautiful tribute,
not only to the youth who had passed
away, but to the sorrowing parents as
well, and Mr.. Coffield asks the REG
IsTER to convey the heartfelt thanks
of himself and his family to the peo-
pie whose sympathy and regard were
thus silently, but strongly expressed.
They appreciate the kindness of their
lola friends, particularly of the school
children, but they are especially
grateful to the old Carlyle and Deer
Creek neighbors who made the long
drive with them and gave the whole
day to comfort them in their sorrow.
1t was a service of love that helped
unspeakably to lift the burden of
grief from their hearts, and it will
never be forgotten.
The city election Monday called out
a very light vote, 276 in all, of which

There were 10 defective ballots,
which had to be cast out because Of
not being properly marked. Some
were put in without pencil mark on
/, them and TINS c0uld not be counted
for anybody, although the voter
doubtless intended to vote for every
body on the ticket. Some had the
cross mark at the right of the name
, instead of at the left. Some had
written in a name but had failed to
, put the cross mark against it. And
, one voter took her ballot and careful
, ly deposited it On the shelf of the vot-
, ing booth. All of which mistakes
can only have resulted from careless
ness or excitement. The sentence
, which is printed at the head of every
ticket,-"Electors VIII make a cross
mark thus (x) in tho square at the
left of the name of the candidate for
whom they wish to voten-certaiDly
!. leaves no reasonable excuse for mis-
! take on the part of anyone who can
read and understand the English Ian
! guage.
