Mrs. J. s. Turner took their lunch
baskets and spent the evening with
her on Wednesday in celebration of

had a good time nevertheless. The

were present: Mesdames Hartman,
Shelter, Kruger, ChOlette, Mcclure
Chastain, Mitchell, Ireland, Agnes

Mr.. l.. f. Palmer, late of Burling-
ton, has rented room in the Apple
building, across the street and wet
from the REGISTER office, and will
occupy it for the manufacture of mon
uments and tOmbstOnes. Mr.. Palmer
is not stranger to lola, as several of
the finest monuments i'm our cemetery
came from his hand. He has been i'm
the business for twenty five years and
is a real artist, his patrons all being
10 l.
He has employed Mr.. II. f. Hubbard
of Olathe, also an excellent workman.
and is now ready to fill promptly all
orders he may receive. Mr.. Palmer
comes with excellent endorsements,
not only as a good workman but also
as a good citizen, and we trust he will
fluid his new location a good one.
Il Doctor: | know whole lot of
men who are any amount more carful
of their horses than they are of their
wives. If one of these men notices
that one of his horses is "off his feedn
he at once begins to look about for
remedy. But his wife may have no
appetite for a month and he will
never notice it. If a favOrite horse
begins to appear listless and lose
flesh, he takes him out of the harness
at once and gives him the best of care
until he begins to pick up again. But
his wife may waste away and get
puny and thin, and he never thinks
of taking her out of the harness of the
household drudgery until he wakes
up some day to find her "sick i'm
bed" And these men are not bad
men either, Intentionally. They are
simply careless. They are in the
habit of looking after their horses,
but they expect their wives to look
after themselves.
Station Agent Edgar tells us that a
new time card will go into effect on
the Southern Kansas on the 9th
which will require the day passenger
trains to pass here, about one O'clock,
and will advance the running time of
both to about 40 miles an hour. The
trains will run through to yelling
ton also, instead of only to Indepen-
dence as they now do. ZThe change is
a very agreeable one for it will give
us our eastern mail earlier and will
shorten the time to Kansas City
about one hour and half. And it
ought to make lola dining station.
The trains will reach here more near
ly at noon than they reach any other
prominent station, and the passengers
from both trains would furnish pat
rOnage enough to support good eat
ing house. 1t would seem as if this
ought to be brought about. Anyhow
it will make good business for lunch
room near the depot, for one tram or
the other will have good many
minutes to wait nearly every day.
