III There are ten prisoners in the coun-
! ty Jail, 6 being boarders from Wood
son county. With the exception of
two, who are charged with selling
whiskey, every man of them is in for
petit larceny, committed no doubt for
the very purpose of being sent to Jail
so that they might be fed and shelter
ed at the county's expense. Ut is this
class of men, Migrants bs nature, to
whom going to Jail is a satisfaction
rather than disgrace, for whom q
rock pile should be provided. If it
was understood that every able
bodied man sent to the county Jail in
default of fine or costs should be given
hammer and required to work out
his sentence at the rate of 50 cents q
day and board, there wouldn't be so
many candidates for admission.
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 1 caught another that hung
on all summer and left me with .
hacking cough which I thought
never would get rid of. had used
Chamberlain 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." 80 cent bottles

In spite of the hard times and dull
season the REGISTER subscription
list is more than holding its own, not
week having passed since the fret
of the year without adding some new
names. And now that we can offer
two such interesting features as our
local and State biographical sketches
we look for even more numerous addi-
tions to our list of readers. In this
good work we, Of course, count large
ly on the help of our old subscribers,
because those who do not get the pa
per will not know how much they
miss unless shown by one who is tax
ing it. And any help that our friends
may give US in this line will be CRATE
fully appreciated.

The University Extension Lecture
Course came to a close last Friday
night when the final examination was
given to members !Ot the class. The
course has been not only instructive
to these who attended it, but enter
tanning in the highest degree, and we
do not know of single member of the
class who regrets the time or the
money that it cost him. Prof. Hop
kins, who delivered the course, has
shown himself so thoroughly gentle
man as well as a scholar that he has
made of every member of the class .
personal friend. The total cost of the
course was S1Sl.55. AS Sl95.30 had
been collected, this left cash sur
plus of 1870. OF this amount, by
vote of the class, 500 was refunded
to two members who had been pre-
vented by sickness from attending
the last half of the course, and the
balance was voted to the Young
Mems Guild, to be expended in the
purchase of magazines for the reading
, room.
