AMATTER OF BUSINESS.

The REGISTER nsver buys anything
outside of lola that it needs and can
get here, no matter what inducements
may be offered in the way of low
prices. Neither do any of the people
connected with it. This paper pays
out from SIS to $50 in cash for wages
every Saturday night. 1t pays near
ly 500 in taxes every year. 1t con-
tributes literally in cash to every en-
terprise that is undertaken to help
the town. 1t speaks good and only
good and that continually for lola and
Allen county.
NOuU-
The REGISTER is in the job print
ing business. Ithas spent lots of mon-
ey fitting up an Office which should
be pride to the town because it is
not equalled in any other town the
size of lola in the State. 1t carries a
large quantity and great variety OF
paper stock, most of which is ordered
direct from the mills. Therefore
We rant, and ace think tDe ought
to hare, the job printing of every bus
mess man in lola.
At least, we do not think dollar
should be sent out of town for such
work. This is good place to apply
the Golden Rule. Treat US as you
would have us, and as we do treat you.
If some foreign Office makes YOU an
offer, come to this Office before you &C.
cept it and find out whether we will
not duplicate both work and price.
Don't send your money out Of town
when you can get just as much for it
here.

OUR SUPPLEMENT.

We hand to our county subscribers
this week q supplement which they
will find "mighty interesting read
ing" On the first page appears a
fac sinsile reproduction of Judge AL
lens letter with Lit. Gov. Daniels en-
dorsement upon it, showing it to be
genuine without doubt. On the other
page are the speech OF Senator Tay-
Ior, Populist, charging the Lewelling
administration with the grossest cor
ruption, Congressman Clover's letter
announcing his withdrawal from the
Populist party, and much other in
teresting matter. The REGISTER has
already printed some Of the matter
that appears in this supplement, but
we are glad to be able to give it to our
readers in this shape, because they
can carry it around with them and
show it to their neighbOrs. If the
honest people of Kansas can be made
to know just how incompetent and
corrupt the Populist administration
has been, Gov. Lewelling will not
carry county i'm Kansas. The REG
rsTER is doing its best to afford them
an opportunity.

add, sour line was pressed forward
as far as any other, three color bear
ers being wounded right at the abatis
and quite q number Of our dead were
within twenty feet of their works"
No skulking there! "Killed and
wounded, 124." That is the business
like way in which the report ends.
To be wounded or killed, If 1t hap
pened SO, was what they were there
for. The warwas over in the Spring of
'65, but the 4th Corps had business In
Texas for several months afterward,
keeping a weather eye on Macmillan.
But a volley OF musketry one morning
on the hill by Queretaro settled all
that, and Co. A. was mustered out
January 6, 1866, and went home.
Two years afterwards Capt. Nc
Clure came with his fathers family
and his own to Kansas, locating on a
farm in Carlyle neighborhOOd. They
were there six years and then came to
lola where Mr.. Mcclure went into the
county treasurer's office as deputy for
w. G. Thrasher. He retained the
same position under Mr.. Thrasher's
successor, @ years in all, and then
was promoted by the people, holding
the Office for two terms. He was then
engaged in various business enter
prises until the spring of 1890 when
he was appointed postmaster,-an
office which he recently vacated on
account of circumstances over which
he had no control.
w. H. Mcclure was married in 1S-
63--being sent home from the army on
recruiting service'-to Miss Char.
lotte Neff. Seven children have been
born to them, of whom five ara now
living.
The portrait which accompanies
this sketch is an excellent likeness OF
a handsome, clever man, strong In
mind and body, faithful to his friends,
true in war and peace to every trust
an honored and honor worthy Ameri-
can citizen.

And the youth grew and prospered,
working at odd spells at what came

academy until he had fair education
And then just as he was about set

before the two days battle of Nash
Vile was over the Captain of Go. A.
was in command of the Regiment.
The last volume of the War Records
contains the report which he wrote of
the part the Regiment took in this
fight. If we had room we would
print it, for it is interesting to read
the cool, soldierly way in which this
boy of % tells about breaking camp at
4 O'Clock in the morning, going on the
skirmish line and staying there all
day, charging with the column now
and then, capturing an occasional
squad of prisoners, enduring heavy
artillery fire until it got too hot and
then charging the batteries, slashing
through abatis under CALLING fire Of
musketry, and planting Co. A. colors

PORTRAIT AND BIOGRAPHICAL
SKETCH OF SOME OF THE
MEN WE ALL KNOW.

Politics were red hot at Carlisle
Ohio, in 1910. "Old Tippecanoe,' u
who lived only few miles away, had
been nominated for President, and
the Wing party was getting ready to
win its first and biggest victory. The

was born into the family of Thomas
Mcclure, Wing of the Wings, 1t was
as inevitable as if ordained by the
stars in their courses that he should
be named William Henry Harrison
Mcclure And so it was done.
