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

The REGISTER desires to say to all
those who are taking our Worlds
Fair Photographed, or who have SUBJ
scribed for any other series Of pictures
offered in q similar form, that we
have made arrangements whereby we
can have the completed books bound
at q very small cost. If those who
are taking these portfolios will care
fully preserve them until the series is
complete, and then bring them to this
Office to be bound, they will have a
book which will be source of con-
slant instruction and entertainment
to themselves and their friends.
We have a pleasant letter from
Frank LETTER this week, enclosing
his subscription for another year of
the REGISTER. He is in the photo
graph business at Ft. Worth, Texas
and is doing well. He says things are
very much mixed in Texas politically.
1--WE have Hogg Democrats, Clark
Democrats, Administration Demo-
Gratis, Republicans, Prohibitionists
and Populists." We should think
that, amid such a mixture as that,
just a plain Democrat like Frank
would have to take to the W DDS.
The publishers of tine American
Newspaper Directory have written to
us that the REGISTER is the only
paper in lola to which a guaranteed
circulation rating will be accorded in
the new edition of the Directory. The
correctness of the rating is guaran-
teed by 500 forfeit, offered by the
publishers of the Directory to any
person who will show that the circu.
lation of the paper is not correctly
stated. The letter also adds that the
circulation accorded the REGISTER
is larger than that of any other paper
in this place.
Homer J. Hendricks writes us that
q large flew of oil was struck last Sat-
urday night in the first well drilled
near Thayer, and that the town is
much excited over it. This increases
our anxiety to have some of our lola
wells tested for oil. According to all
the books there ought TO be oil in the
last we'll which MIR. Pryor dug near
the river. 1t is very deep and no gas
was found, so it must be near the bot.
tom of the slope, at the top of which
our big gas well was struck. We
would like nightly to have about $50
pounds of nitro glycerine exploded in
that well, just to see what would hap
pen.
A. c. Scott learned from a friend on
the train Sunday night that Charlie.
oldest son of Judge Stillwell, had
been accidently shot and killed on the
day previous. We have not been
able to learn the particulars, but if
the report is true the REGISTER begs
to tender to Judge StiIlwell the sim
cere coincidence of his Allen county
friends. 1t is only two or three weeks
since the Judges mother died sud-
denly; but she had lived to a good old
age and her death, while unexpected,
was in the course of nature. But the
death of bright young boy, falling
as bolt from clear sky, must be a
shock from which it will take long to
recover.
Clarence Norton was in from Moran
yesterday. He says that four agents
for the Oil Company (Guffy & Coy
that struck oil at Neodesha and Thay-
er are in Moran buying and paying
spot cash, for leases of 10 years for
the right to drill for oil. Mr.. Norton
says these men claim that oil is al
ways found i'm rock the shape of a
saucer, that gas is found at the edge
of the saucer and oil in the middle. lola
has gas and so has FIT. Scott. The
theory therefore is that oil will be
found half way between. AS matter
of fact Mr.. Norton says that crude oil
has been sold in Moran for years from
q we'll near Zenia, about 20 miles
northeast of Moran. This thing is
getting exciting.
Mr.. Albert Favorite, of Arkansas
City, Kan, wishes to give our readers
the benefit of his experience with
colds. He says: 81 contracted cold
early last spring that settled on my
lungs, and had hardly recovered from
it when L caught another that hung
on all summer and left me with
hacking cough which 1 thought 1
never would get rid of. I had used
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy some
fourteen years ago with much success,
and concluded to try it again. When
1 got through with one bottle my
cough had left me, and have not suf-
fered with cough or cold since. 1
have recommended it to others, and
all speak well of it." so cent bottles
