The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1895-10-11

Some of our exchanges are noting
that farmers in painting their barns
have been putting their names upon
them. That is what the REGISTER
has been urging the farmers of Allen
county to do for long time. We do
not see why a farmer should not put
up his sign as well as a merchant. 1t
would be a great convenience to every
one doing business with him, and
would be worth money to him every
year.
The Opera House ought to be
crowded tonight and tomorrow night
with those who are interested in the
musical education of the school child
rem and in the dey elopment of the
musical talent of our young people
generally. Prof. HOagland would be
the last to claim that he had given
| his pupils a finished education in
three weeks; but the programs to be
presented these evenings will show
that he has accomplished wonders.
The WOmans Missionary Societies
of the Presbyterian churches of Allen
county will hold their annual county
convention October II and Is at Ge-
neva. The convention will open at
half past two O'Clock on the 18th and
close at noon of the 18th. 1t is hoped
that Mrs. ShOemakes, the Presbyter-
irl President, will be present and pre-
side. An excellent program has been
prepared and every society in the
county is urged to send large dele
CATION.
Mr.. George Fry has been CORES
pOnding all summer with the pro-
prietOrs of some Indiana glass fact
cries with a view of getting them in
terested in lola. and has had very ell
cOuraging replies In their latest let
ter they promise to send a represent
alive out here soon to look over the
field and intimate very strongly that
| if it is found satisfactory they may
establish branch factories here. There
| is not a particle of dOubt that the
business could be prOfitaOly carried
on here, and somebody is bound to
| find it out sometime.
X. c. Star: The money VIII iCh has
for the past two or three years been
pilling up i'm the Kansas City tanks
rapidly. The cattlemen are borrow
ing thousands of dollars daily ard the
demand from the country surpTisrS
the city bankers. Cheap corn tud
plenty Of it has caused the farmer to
buy stock and next spring VIII see
the market OvercrOwded with C'Tn
fed stock. The farmers are the chief
borrowers and where they do not Dor
row to buy stock or feed they ask for
money to make improvements.
The beauty of natural gas as a fuel
for large boilers is well illustrated at
ClaibOrne's Cider Mill. The fire can
be made just as hot as necessary and
so perfectly regulated that the steam
may be kept at the same pressure all
day, while the services of one man are
entirely dispensed with. The mill is
doing a great bushes these days and
is a boon to the farmers who would
otherwise get no profit whatever of
Myers is helping Mr.. Claiborne and
they are both kept busy all day. The
capacity of the mill is about 500 bush
els of apples daily.
Friends of the family will regret
very much to learn of the death Of
Mrs. Robert Inge, formerly of Geneva
but late of NeOshO Falls. The death
occurred at hospital in Kansas City
wneTe Mrs. Inge had been taken for
the removal of a humorous growth in
the abdomen. The operation was
performed on Wednesday. 1t appear
ed to be successful as the patient rail-
lied and seemed to be doing well. But
on Saturday morning there was re-
action which resulted fatally. The
remains were brought to NeOshO
Falls where they were inferred Mon
day afternoon, the Obsequies being
attended by large concOurse of soT-
rowing friends. The deceased leaves
married, who have the sympathy of
large circle of friends.
Prof. and Mrs. Picken rendered
their annual reception TO the teachers
in the city schools on last Saturday
evening and the event as have been
all similar ones that preceded it, was
delightful social surcess. The re-
freshments were designated as
"Hap-hazard Tea and each teacher
was invited to prepare one dish. The
result was a sumptuOus dinner, of
which the most conspicuous CASTRO
mic success was voted by the assem-
bled guests to be a cOcOanut cake,
baked by Miss Belle Ricketts,, who
was accordingly presented by the
hostess with handsome salad dish
as souvenir of the occasion. Mr..
and Mrs. Picken had something new
oil fn
way of entertainment and the even
ing was most agreeably passed.
The mOnOtOnOus quiet of the usual
Sunday afternoon crap game in Riv-
erside park was somewhat interrupt
ed last Sunday by a Lively scrap.
David Washington, cOlOred, and Mel.
Reynolds, the Wise mail carrier, were
the contestants. 1t seems that dis
pute arose over point in the game,
when hot words were exchanged.
Washington made a motion as if to
draw a razor or gun when Reynolds
grabbed a target rifle from the hands
of a bystander and proceeded to break
it over the head of Washington,
knocking him senseless. 1t was
thought for awhile that the skull had
been crushed, but that proved to be
not the case as the man has about re-
covered from the blow. Reynolds
was arrested on a charge Of assault
with intent to kill. On Monday a
preliminary examination was had be-
| fore Justice Duncan and he was
bound over in the sum of $500 to ap-
pear for trial at the November term
of the District Court. He was unable
| to give bond and is now in Jail. Two
